(1) LA Lakers vs (3) San Antonio - Western Conference Finals

[GuyverX]

The Spurs are one customary offensive drought away from losing the lead so yeah, it's not over.

[B-Scott]

The difference between the teams the Lakers have played in the playoffs so far compared to the Spurs is evident. The Spurs digg down and play defense. Unlike Denver and Utah. The Spurs are scoring with ease and the Lakers are struggling to get there points. Not a good sign for us.

Also as i said yesterday, popovich defends Lamar different from other coaches. Instead of putting slower power forwards on him for a long stretch,he puts quicker wing players on him to take away his creativity.

i dont understand Kobe...i understand getting everyone involved, but youre unstoppable 1 on 1..hes not seeing any doubles.

Yeah, he's not being aggresive enough. He's being defended well (Spurs are doing a good job of sorta clogging his lanes to the basket), but there's been a few times where i thought he could've gotten a good shot if he had've been aggresive. He did a good job getting Rad, Odom and Pau involved, though. His defense has been solid, too.

Ah well, that Fisher steal not having been called as a foul (he got his Ginobili's hand, and the ref that called it had a horrible angle to call that), and Odom hitting that layup and this game would be a lot closer..

Odom's been missing so many makeable shots, too. =/

[TruSkool]

i really think the spurs are gona steal this one.
my predictions for the lakers so far were exact 4-0 vs nuggets and 4-2 vs jazz...now i predict 2-4, losing to the spurs...

spurs are gona win the finals regardless of the team they play

Indeed.

I think this will be a consistency through out the series.

Here's hoping there's nothing wrong with him again in the 2nd half.

I'm sure he'll go wild in the third. Actually I won't be surprised if he fnishes this game with 30 or more pts.

[Kobay]

Lol where do people get the notion kobe's not being agreesive? ALl you see is kobe battling with bowen for position only for his teamates to quickly turn away and just pass it to no where. He's played perfect offense just not enough possession for him to satisfy everyone.

[Kobay]

Odom is useless unless kobe's drawing double team

[Rerisen]

Lakers have no energy right now. And the crowd sounds on the verge of booing.

[Kobay]

Kobe bricking wide open shots. Lakers are done.

[sp6r=underrated]

Duncan is a proud man. You have to believe he wants to redeem himself after NO by putting a hurting on LA.

[ivDT]

ugh.

this is the worst laker team to ever make it to the conference finals.

[HMFFL]

While I'm not a LA fan, I'm cheering for them, and I had to leave the sports bar early tonight due to the lack of performance.

[Kobay]

THis teamates cannot throw a freaking pass. Credit Spurs

[Rerisen]

Lakers have one machine, but right now, the Spurs are the machine.

Still plenty of time though.

[prekazi]

Lakers look lost right now. Kobe has to take over.

[Magz50]

We've come out with good energy

[Ballings7]

Couple missed oppurtunities by SA - but still a nice start to the third for sure

[GuyverX]

LMAO @ Fisher driving in the paint when Duncan is camped there.

[Big Bird]

The Lakers are totally out of sync.
