Easy win.

Even if we don't bring it defensively, our offense shouldn't have any problem facing Lakers' defense. Hell, even if our 3 pointers are below our usual %, we should still be getting tons of open looks and easy baskets. Lakers' defense are just that bad.

Will be very disappointed if we lose this game. No reason.

I'm starting to get more nervous over games like this one. Spurs have to win against inferior competition at this point. Any game against a sub .500 has to be a W. I just hope we aren't peaking too soon.

We've dominated sub .500 teams so far this year so i'm really not that worried.

You never know on the road in the NBA but we should win this one. Just staying healthy is all I'm worried about at this point.

Pretty easy win, and important too as it gives them another game on the Heat/Pacers for overall HCA.

Haha! Johnny Manziel beat Bron Bron into the McDonald's club!

Spurs need to pick up their D's.

Why is ESPN saying we need to win this game to tie the Lakers trio for the all time win list?

Our big three already pass them.

I expected this. After the beat down we gave LA last game, it's just normal to be taking this game easy. I think the 3rd quarter, Pop will get on them, pick up our defensive intensity and that's when we're going to get seperation.

It feels like LA is hitting a high percentage of their shots but they're only shooting 49%. It looks like it's us just not hitting shots we usually make. It feels like the Spurs are over thinking, playing with hesitancy.

Over and done with. Our defense was severely lacking. Our offense has saved us a lot againts these sub .500 teams, because these teams really suck defensively and we kept on getting easy baskets even when we're not shooting all that well. This is another example. Our defense just suck, but we kept on getting open shots everywhere and whole lot of layups and baskets in the paint.

Spurs playing down to their opponents this game. They better start to care on defense by Saturday night. Golden State will make them pay if they don't.

Not our best performance but it was a win in the end.

You had me checking the schedule too. We got Sacramento first on Friday.

Yeah that's what I was thinking.

What did everyone think of Bill Simmons and Jalen Rose as color commentators? I thought they were okay but you could tell they were new at it. They kept cutting off Tirico and he reminded them of it a few times.

Simmons talked about the Celtics too much but I guess that's kind of his schtick.

I noticed that they talked too much about everything except what was going on in the game. That bothered me. I like Rose but Simmons annoys me. I realize they thought the game wasn't going to be great but it was close enough to better describe what was going on instead of almost ignoring the game altogether. Rose did well in his Pop interview though.
