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

That's dumb.

Losing a 20 point lead over a 10 minute span is a direct result of the Laker's play, something within the Spurs control. The reffing at the end of the game is NOT within the Spurs' control.

Yeah, it's easy to say now but i wasn't too worried. I was semi-worried, but i didn't think this team would go down like that on their homecourt, especially not with Kobe on the court.

Thank you. Nice to see a guy who doesn't even like the Lakers can actually watch a game and not be a biased moron about calls.

Pretty much. :wink:

If the spurs had a chance to steal one it was this game. We came out flat and rusty after such a long time off. This game proves that the lakers mentally own the Spurs. Always have.

Big Bird · Post #1007 » by **Big Bird** » Thu May 22, 2008 4:06 am

What a game, I can't believe I almost went to bed when we were down by 20. Unbelievable comeback.

The Spurs still scare the **** out of me though, they're a great team and I'm sure they'll come back with a sense of revenge on Friday.

Wohoo!

Badly blown quality oppurtunity by SA - simple as that

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

Also didn't like how Kobe clearly pushed Bowen off with his elbow - but I understand why it wasn't called... even though it technically should be.

Vujacic and the Lakers definitely defended Ginobili well, part of it was himself, though. I'd be surprised if this relatively continues for the series.

Stellar win for the Lakers

The point is that people are trying to say it was the officials' fault the Spurs lost. But if the Spurs didn't blow a 20 point lead, they wouldnt have been in that position in the first place. Besides, there was some pretty bad calls on the Lakers as well.

You know nothing about anything, the reffing didn't favor either side; the ball was out on Gasol but right after that the ball was off of Ginobili and they gave the ball to the spurs, evened each other out and if you want a pussy rebound foul at the end of the game you can go **** your self.

Great game by Gasol as well... He couldnt stop Duncan 1-on-1 but who can?

Complaining about the refs incessantly is DUMB. D-U-M-B

Chubby Chaser · Post #1016 » by **Chubby Chaser** » Thu May 22, 2008 4:09 am

Is there any doubt now that Kobe is the real mvp? Remarkable game by Kobe tonight showing the world that he can't be denied.

Coaches should be given a certain number of challenges each game for plays that aren't judgement calls like out of bounds.

I see refs consistently get that wrong in any game regardless of who's playing.

theres no excuses for blowing a 20pt lead

pop fokd up in teh 3rd by takn out bowen while up 20pts allowing kobe to get into form, then allowing stupid small ball bs lineup for no reason.

finley has to be bench for the rest of the night when his playin like crap, no point in puttin him in.
