it was definitely a push off by Kobe..

but then again that play where Ginobili and Gasol dove out of bounds was clearly out of bounds on Ginobili..

That out of bounds call when Gasol slapped it of Duncan was clearly a foul..though Turiaf did get a lot if ticky tack fouls for just touching Duncan.

It evens out.

Un biased fan opinion.

Refs didnt lose a 20 pt lead, spurs did.

Horrible call on timmy D, was out on gasol. Equally horrible make up call on the VERY NEXT PLAY when they gave it to S.A. stop bitchin.

You want a rebound foul at the end of a WCF playoff game? ROFL. And even if you do, Horry literally TACKLED homie right into manu.

That pushoff was pathetic. Kobe didnt extend his arm at ALL. Bowen just flopped outrageously giing kobe the easiest playoff game winner of his career. MVP. Your not getting that call get real.

Lakers fans that are to excited.

Manu didn't play that well. Tony P either.

Their shooters, didn't.

Bowen later on the series is going to frustrate Kobe at times, you will see.

Gasol will have a harder time later in the series.

I do think Lakers also can play better, like Odom, but I don't see this lost as the end of the world for the Spurs. Spurs had a solid game plan, that some of the guys couldn't convert their shots.

Lakers advantage is their youth. But if the shooters start getting hot for the Spurs they will take back the series.

im worried about fisher. He is not inconsistent. He is either consistently good or consistently bad and im afraid lakers might have gotten the bad hand.

Thing is, this isn't just a fluke occurrence for the Spurs. The Spurs have had a problem with 2nd half collapses in the regular season and the playoffs. Their offense goes on these scoring droughts all the time. All the Spurs fans scoffed at everyone talking about their age or their offense, but they are real concerns.

over confident laker fans, lakers are simply doing what they are supposed to do. which is win at home. they barely did it with a tired spurs team blowing a 20 point lead.

question, do people think the spurs are going to come out and play anyworst than they did in the 4th again?

no one is saying this is an end of the world loss for the spurs. at least i hope not. there isn't going to be an end of the world loss until one team wins their fourth.
