Game 5: Spurs @ Lakers

Killing them alll half long, up 14 most of the way, all to just be up 6 at the half. This is why we've been losing. Think we'll need those 8 points in the second half? Yup...

Kind of expected the lead to go down, they'd make a couple runs... but not this much :/

Parker needs to stop being a hog. Jeez go into Duncan and let the game flow from there, the only reason the lakers are in it now is cause Parker has been making bad decisions. he should know better. Plus the refs need to decide if they're calling this game tight or loose. Some very questionable calls.

Just get Barry some more PT.

Yeah, when Parker becomes a shoot first guard we are in trouble. I always say that shooting should be his 3rd option. 1) Pass the ball around, 2) PENETRATE, 3) Shoot

The Spurs/Parker needs to provide more penetration than the avg Belladonna porn flick.

If we're going to have our shooters lineup of Fin, Manu and Barry, we either need penetration and Lakers doubling TD.

I'm confident we can win this tonight though, we'll come out firing.

I can't wait to see how we handle the 3rd.

With less than 3:00 left in the half, Pop said "this lead is not to be milked, it's to be built upon". We hit a jumper to go to 46-31. They scored us 11-2 to go from down 15 to 6. Unbelieveable.

Luckily Pop's halftime speaches are probably better than mine. :-)

We're at the point in the season where Pop should jst be able to walk into the locker room at the half and say "you already know", then walk out.

Flop by fisher on that three... honestly did he think he would get that call after the last game...

Manu with 5 points. :-(

I'm really beginning to hate Parker tonight.

Manu hasn't had a chance to shoot though. Parker is seriously driving me insane tonight

SMRattler · Post #77 » by **SMRattler** » Fri May 30, 2008 2:44 am

Lakers shooting 40% now for the game. Spurs dropping below 50% now. That's why it's a 6 point lead only now.

Do you want Jacque playing? :nod:

It could* always be worse.... the good comes with the bad. It just sucks that he isn't sticking his jumpshot tonight.

I'd rather Parker try to set up Bow, Fin, and Bones

Brent Barry :clap:

I don't mind a shooter missing their jumper, but Parker isn't a shooter. His strength is his ability to take defenders off the dribble.
