what are you talking about? malone missed wide open shots. malone has been shooting the ball extremely well lately (since game 1 vs houston) so i find it hard to believe that it was their defensive philosophy to give malone wide open 15ft jumpers.

what are you saying?
can you not read or are you being redundant on purpose?
i was giving you a chance to retract your homer statement.
yes, the Lakers failing to score 20 points in 3 out of the 4 quarters has NOTHING to do with the Spur's defense.
The Lakers committing 21 turnovers to the Spurs 15 has nothing to do with the Spur's defense.
The Spurs 11 steals to the Lakers 5 has nothing to do with the Spur's defense.
The Lakers shooting 37.7% FG to the Spurs 46.8% has nothing to do with the Spur's defense.
i guess i'm just being biased.
everytime a team doesnt shoot the ball well its 100% because of the other teams defense
:roll:
it can't be the spurs D, it was just a fluke, right? i mean, the spurs D was the best in he NBA this year, they did it night in and night out. i guess they just got real lucky this season :roll:

yeah and when the lakers win the series are you gonna cry like the kings fans two years ago? note: the lakers had to overcome horrendous anti-laker officiating in that series so im confident that if it happens they can overcome it in this series
it has nothing to do with being anti-Lakers. it has everything to do with you being a blinded homer.
josephII: i was born and raised right here in socal and so i say, i'm a huge lakers fan. through thick and thin, all the anti-lakers BS, and the horrible team chemistry after losing jerry west, i'm still a lakers fan.
that said, i'm going to say this, i care little for lakers fans such as yourself. you're the type of fan that never gives what is due, always complains about the refereeing, and makes the real fans look bad. any lakers fan that can say the spurs D wasn't great today, is a FANBOY!
puh-lease. ive been following the lakers for close to 15 years. i followed them post magic. i followed them when they missed the playoffs and then drafted two pretty good players the next couple of years in nick van excel and eddy jones. and ive certainly followed them the last several years. the fact of the matter is for whatever reason the league has made it more difficult on the lakers over the last few years. perhaps it was the way they won their first two championships - being too dominant. first it was the zone defense rule put in place to help teams gaurd shaq. for those of you that remember the lakers vs kings first round series in 2000 you know what im talking about. then it was a change in how the games were refereed. no longer would shaq be allowed to just turn and shoot, this is now an offensive foul. this started two years ago and was evident to any laker fan that had watched their first two championchips and it was very evident to the players. shaq stated during the teams 3rd championship that he was once told that every team has to overcome an obstacle to win the championship and that that year it was the refs. remember earlier in the year when a referee was suspended by the league for making a bad call that went in favor of the lakers? thats no coincedence. if that would have happened vs any other team it would have been a non issue. but the lakers are held to a higher standard and they are given no freebees. now the refereeing in this most recent game wasnt so bad but 4 very bad calls against the lakers seized their momentum and the game was lost. did the lakers deserve to win? no. quite frankly neither team deserved to win this game.
it can't be the spurs D, it was just a fluke, right? i mean, the spurs D was the best in he NBA this year, they did it night in and night out. i guess they just got real lucky this season :roll:

The reason why the other players aren't mentioned is because this thread is about Spurs and Lakers.
Phil Jackson has already put down the city of San Antonio recently and talked smack about the Spurs in prior series. Go read the LATimes to see quotes.
You also single out Shaq. What about Kobe? Gary Payton picking fights with 70 year old Hubie? Come on man. Most of that team is a disgrace to professional sports.
Be honest about it man. I know that's your team, but don't sit here and say that they don't talk trash and act like asses. We all see it and read about it every other day.

you're a terd, there was already a lot of speculation of whether or not the lakers were better for obtaining payton and malone. look at the yankees and the team that beat them (mariners), chemistry will usually always beat out the big names.

you're not even a terd, you're a step below that, whatever it may be. i am not bitter about the lakers losing, i turned down a $100 bet (on the series, not the game) with a coworker because i'm pretty sure the spurs will win.
as for duncan, when you have fundamentals, you don't need style. duncan is probably the most fundamentaly sound player in basketball, except for his free throw shooting
and shaq's FT is any good?? hahaha if that guy doesnt have the body.. he is nothing..
nyah nyah nyah nyahh nyahhhhh

a good defensive team realizes when a player is struggling and will more often than not, leave him open to double another player. the spurs recognized karl wasn't hitting and so they gave him open shots to double shaq, that right there is good defense. why would you cover someone that isn't hitting? wouldn't it be better to double the big blob sitting right by the damned rim?
yeah, kobe is the only one to ever do something like that. his beef with phil and shaq is old news, i didn't think you'd be talking about that. you make it sound like the lakers are the only ones with internal problems when actually almost every NBA team has had some sort of internal problem this year and last.Originally posted by: Ludacris
He put down the San Antonio city recently on in an interview. He was discussing flying back to LA after the games in S.A.
As for Kobe, I wasn't even thinking about the rape case. I'm talking about the Sacramento game when he made it a point to not shoot. What about his comments about not liking Jackson and his eternal arguments with Shaq? I don't even like your team and I appear to know more about them than you do. All you have to do is read the LATimes.com. It's all right there. You can go their now and read about Payton moaning about how he isn't touching the ball enough and that he played good defense on Parker today. It's quite hilarious.
actually, you claiming to know about the lakers more than me is absurd. why? it's because you're obssessed with hating that it comsumes your life. realistically, the crap your saying about the lakers happens to nearly every single fvcking NBA team you terd.It appears you are in denial about how cocky and arrogant most of the Lakers are, however, the rest of us know the truth. You didn't even reply about Gary Payton taking on Hubie. That is just disgusting.

Look at you. Now you are mad and acting immature just like your beloved Lakers. Calling people names because your team lost and you can't handle the fact that they are jack asses. Deal with it.

shaq looked tired the whole second half. his fatass needs to get in shape :| well, the spurs did D him up pretty well. the only thing that upset me was that shaq was hardly moving. he just stood around and made stupid decisions like following frenchie on a pick & roll.
i must say though, that was the worst free throw shooting in one game that i have ever seen. teams should be able to fine players for that crap.
