This is not a "must win" for the Lakers in the grand scheme of things. But I think they are so used to just killing everyone that it will do harm to their confidence, and helps the Spurs' confidence. I mean, the only way to beat the Lakers is to put them out of their misery early before they even know what hit them. Don't go 7 games with them! Not wise.
Come on Spurs. I hope the lakers lose this one, and hopefully some confidence does get broken, and the players start to RUN THEIR MOUTHS again....shaq kobe...etc.
OMG, the Lakers are getting trashed in a playoff game. Haven't seen that happened for a long long long time.
The Lakers are in a h*ll of a lot of trouble! The Spurs are just handing them their @ss tonight. That's what happens when you run with a 2-man show, it's eventually going to catch up to you.
This Lakers team right now has to be one of the worst defensive team in the history of the NBA! What the hell are the Spers shooting? 175%?
Actually, smart players are able to deal with heavy pressure. They use the opponent's own exuberance against them. Which creates opportunities for other players to score easily. Over pursuing a offensive player can hurt you if that offensive player knows how to use his body well (deception). Steve Nash and Mike Bibby are very good at this. So is our own Cynthia Cooper!
You must be watching a different Lakers team play, Manu is a nice player with some unique skills, but the Lakers are playing Dismal Defense
HAHA, Lakers fans are blaming the officials for their team getting absolutely destroyed tonight! I don't care that this game is going to the Staples Center the Lakers are in SERIOUS trouble. The Spurs could very easily go to the Staples Center and destroy LA. Remember what the Kings did to them last year in LA. I picked San Antonio to win the championship this year and I'm sticking with it, though the Kings could win it.
