    Spurs Lakers III

    3 games in like 10 days?

    What's Kobe's status? The line would indicate he is going to play some.

    Did you notice for the Spurs that they changed their offense from game I to game II? And they didn't play Blair. Anyway they are not running the high pick or low post up with Tim. The Spurs are letting Parker or Neal go straight in and either shoot or kick to an open shooter who shoots. It was very effective in LA. Course it helps that Parker couldnt miss. Its the first time all year Ive seen them in this quick shoot offense.

    Anyway, the Spurs have figured out that LA's defense is just too good to run set plays in the half court, Plus Bynum is too tough for Timmy to make a living against down on the blocks. The result is a much faster pace. I like the over 202.

    Spurs just look too good for anyone

    Kobe is doubtful

    Gregg Popovich is one of the best coach of all time!

    Good points, John. Bryant is definitely playing tonight. It will be interesting to see how the Laker offense performs with KB back after missing 7 games.

    Last time LA came to SAS they beat them outright as a 10 point underdog without Kobe...and after that, they make the line -6.5 WITH kobe playing. I think Spurs is the play here. I think this should be around -5 considering how well LAL played last time they came, but I think SAS is not going to make the same mistake again and they should be able to run them over like they did at Staples centre.

    Yes I do and I'm at most home games. I really dislike the Lakers mostly from the Western Conference battles in the early 2000's. I don't like to post side selections because I'm a homer. If I played a side in this one I would play LA. The Spurs are back from a 3 back to backer including the sandwich game, a blowout of the Lakers.

    Pop is motivated is this spot so no one on the Spurs will have any minutes limited. But the road swing effect and a revenge minded Laker team are the keys to picking the right betting side here. The Lakers will come out on Tony tonight and take away the 15 footer that he killed them with the last game. I doubt either team will have a big lead so it comes down to Kobe time. The 6.5 is too many points in this spot but I hope I'm wrong.

    Just heard this stat yesterday, the Spurs were the only NBA team to win B2B2B series, twice this year. So much for The Spurs being too old.

    I like the Spurs tonight, but I also think Pop is gonna use this game to tinker with his lineup and rotation for the playoffs, tough call.

    how hard is it for a coach to tell his fukking ****** to run back on defense?


    all the spurs points are in transition and on the fukking run


    and they are walking back every time?


    fukking brain power is ZERO.

    If this was a horse race the program narrator would write; Spurs in a romp.

    LA just can't come up with an answer to Tony Parker. Plain and simple. Sessions was ultra pressing but Tony was still Tony. Kobe was a non factor. LA shot dozens of free throws on tic tac fouls but even the refs couldnt save them.
