Ridiculous is what it is. Even if they don't win their division, they can still win the conference. How on Earth does that make even a sliver of sense?

eagles nut wrote:Yeah, I guess you're right. But 6 minutes left? NO basically shaved 20 point off our lead in that much time on Friday night.

new orleans has shooters and penetrators who can push the pace, get into the paint and knock down perimeter shots...which allows you to make up points in a hurry.
finley/bowen are san antonio's only shooters in this game, and bowen can only shoot from the corner. and finley just hasn't been good for awhile now.
parker's the teams only real penetrator...and he's not on chris paul's level.

the spurs can't recover from being down like other teams can. with ginobili and barry...perhaps. but pop knows they can't without those two. so why waste energy?

What did he say?


Basically JVG and Jackson are discussing who should be MVP, and JVG is saying how the Lakers being one of the top teams wasn't really a surprise. Along with that he said that Paul "made" West into an All-Star, while Kobe's layers just "improved".

GG Spurs fans, As a Laker fan im very aware things will be different next time around when Manu Ginobli comes back and Tim Duncan isn't always gonna miss those shots..

Great game from the Lakers standpoint in the 2nd hAlf of locking down on Defense and running the offense, It was a statement game but things will be much tougher come playoff time
Phil Jackson, RealGM MVP !

It will always be unfair...we are comapring a wing to a ball-handling PG. Plus Kobe is playing in triangle offense, which put more emphasis on off-ball movement and every players own reading of the game.
I am just glad that Lakers gets the best record in the West now. I am sure Kobe feels the same too.

I still fear the Spurs... no Jon Barry, No Ginobili... no Rasho Nesterovic. When this team is complete they will be a DANGEROUS team. Book it.

I'm glad that Sacramento plays SA tomorrow night. SA will come out needing a win and it will be a tough game. Hopefully, they'll be tired against the Lakers.

You know the Kings hate the Lakers and would love to prevent the Lakers from getting home-court advantage.

Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:
