Badly blown quality oppurtunity by the Spurs - simple as that

Horribly missed call on the Duncan rebound under the basket late, no doubt Gasol knocked it out

Vujacic and the Lakers definitely defended Ginobili well

Stellar win for the Lakers

So, you can lower your shoulder and push off to get off the game winner? Also, when the ball is knocked out of Duncan's hands by Pau right in front of the refs that is okay too? Yeah, the Spurs blew the game, but those calls were garbage

See what happens when you don't double Duncan? The Spurs supporting cast doesn't play well. I'm laughing at all those who claimed Manu or Parker were more important to the Spurs.

Yeah, but justice was served when Gasol missed the dunk and then didn't get a blocking call on Ginobili, so it didn't really make much of a difference.

Spurs lost up by 20 midway in the third. It's weired how Lakers offense fuels its defense (imo).

The Spurs game plan against the Lakers is built to succeed, however. They just have to execute all 48 minutes. Also, Ginobili showing up would be great.
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'

Now's the time Phil needs to prepare for Pop's adjustments.

I never blame officiating, since it always finds a way to level out at the end.

Game winner by Kobe off a clear push off that wasn't called. Duncan hacked across the arm, ball out of bounds and given to the Lakers--say what? Foul by Gasol on Ginobli on a loose ball-no call. Odom barrels over Ginobli as Ginobli was about to get a loose ball--no call. Spare me the great win by the Lakers. And, no I am not a Spurs fan.

well, Pau just ran over Ginobili right after that but somehow that wasn't a foul either

Yeah, blowing a 20 point lead had nothing to do with it.
