On at 9ET/8CT, on ESPN, too...

Spurs win by seven points

Griever24 · Post #2 » by **Griever24** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 11:30 am

This should be a very intresting one .. Kobe coming off his 11 assist, 7 shot performance proving he will do whatever it takes to win even if that means passing

But that was mainly do to Denver's Double teams and the Spurs usually play more 1 on 1 With Bowen .. it will be intresting to see how Spurs play and if Kobe will look to take the load and score more if Bowen plays him 1-1

on the other hand a big question for the Lakers is who is gonna guard Duncan ? with Kwame playing so horrible lately well see if Jackson decides to go with ronny for most the game ..

What is the injury Reports guys ?

And OT Ballings7 What team are you a fan of ? i noticed you post in a lot of different teams forums

Turiaf guarded Duncan well in the horrible game he had vs. LA in the win earlier this season..hopefully he plays better than that this time around..

timely double-teams and close outs on Kobe will be key..can't let those Laker 3-point shooters beat us..

they won't really have a low post game without Bynum, so hopefully that will make it easier for Duncan to exert himself more offensively..

Spurs, Kings, Bobcats, Bulls. The origins of supporting these teams go back numerous years for each. Aside from that, I follow the league, rather than just watch one or two teams and that's basically it.

The other boards I post at randomly are just for various reasons of interest, checking out what's going on with that team, and what their fans are going on about. Just where ever I please on this board when I'm on the board.

Just because I've posted at several of the forums in varying amounts doesn't mean I go for all those teams. I just have a high-amount of enjoyment for basketball. That's partly why I love more than one team, it's also nice because when another team isn't doing so well you can enjoy another one. Specifically, it helps with two of the teams being in different development modes. It just depends on the level of interest, enjoyment for what sport/game you like.

Kwame will guard Duncan as well as Turiaf.

Odom will matchup with Oberto most of the time.

Kobe will matchup with Bowen offensively and more than likely Ginobli defensively.

Vujajic will play against Finley.

Walton won't be playing too much for the Lakers. Expect the Lakers to try and make Parker work very hard defensively and make Duncan beat them.

And you know Kwame always has had great games when it's a national televised.

Let's get this W

Nice i respect that .. now to the Game

Spurs look lethargic .. i know they are sleep walking into the playoffs that why i dont get my hopes to up .. but at this rate they are not gonna have much homecourt and sometimes it back fires like Heat of last year ..

Parker and Ginobli must step up .. every time i watch a game with the spurs ginobli is usually killing it so he must find his Mojo

And kobe Is the Key .. gonna have to figure something out or he is gonna have his day .. Good luck 2nd half

Rique · Post #17 » by **Rique** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 4:00 am

WOW....THIRD QUARTER WAS A BLAST!!!! GINO STEALS TO PARKER THROUGH FISHER'S LEGS TO GINO TO PARKER FOR THE LAYUP.

Bowen blocks KOBE.

Duncan strips the ball from Lamar Odom.

Ime UDOKA ON FIRE hitting shots from everywhere...he's 5/6.

BARRY in the corner for 3! Lakers Inbound.....Barry STEALS! SAVES THE BALL FROM GOING OUT OF BOUNDS TO IME.....IME PASSES BACK TO BARRY IN THE CORNER WITH 3 SECONDS LEFT....FOR THREEE!!!! WHOOOSH!

A GREAT QUARTER. Hopefully the Spurs keep rolling in the 4th.

I was going wild for that last minute or two, eventually got me off the couch at the end

Rique · Post #19 » by **Rique** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 4:02 am

Coach, what made you think that Starting GIno in the 3rd would help the spurs out.

Coach pop....
ummm He's Manu Ginobili......*slience*

Ballings7 · Post #20 » by **Ballings7** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 4:27 am

Ime Udoka is my baby, lol

He definitely differs from Bruce, like expected
