2013 First Round: Spurs at Lakers, Game 3 Thread

[TMT]

Time to wrap this series up, boys.

Steve Blake out, Nash and Meeks doubtful. If they can't go it means plenty of minutes for Goudelock and Duhon. :lol Big games from Pau and Dwight are definitely needed tonight.

The Spurs on the other hand are finding their stride and getting healthy along the way. Parker had a big 28 point game in the Spurs game 2 victory, his biggest performance since his ankle injury that sidelined him for a good stretch at the end of the season.

Should be a good one tonight. :cheers:

[Artillery]

Lakers are garbage. Just hand this series to the Spurs already.

[Gotterdammerung]

With all the injuries, Stern should just forfeit game 4, likely because the Lakers lose tonight. :facepalm

[SpecialQue]

Should be a good one tonight. :cheers:

[Haks]

Goudlock and morris starting:roll: :roll:

I miss the Wire. Best show ever! Yeah this series is over.

[takai]

Regardless of how many players are injured and how the odds are completely against us, I'll still be watching and cheering on my Lakers.

lolz. Thanks :cheers:

[Derka]

I'm not sure I can listen to Hubie tonight.

[SpecialQue]

Gotta keep feeding Pau and Dwight tonight.

Splitter's a ****.

[SoCalLakersFan1]

lolz. Thanks :cheers:
:cheers:

[SpecialQue]

This will be the highest Laker lead of the night.

[Keiigo-]

This is Darrius Morris's breakout game, LOOK AT THAT PUTBACK.

[tazb]

Why does Hubie still commentate? :facepalm

[shady6121]

Tim Duncan :bowdown: :applause:

[Lateralus]

Alley by Duncan

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[SpecialQue]

I wonder if any of the "Amnesty Kobe" retards noticed all the empty seats at Staples.

[leopoldstotch]

one of my fears is the Lakers are going to go big ball and dominate the paint with rebounds like in the first 2 games. The spurs can't seem to rebound

crazy oop by duncan

[francesco totti]

how many 3 pointers lakers will score this game?
maybe jamison or world peace knock 3 times?

[Magic 32]

If the Spurs lose a game aganist THIS Lakers team, they are going nowhere. :lol

[SpecialQue]

If the Spurs lose a game aganist THIS Lakers team, they are going nowhere. :lol

They wont.

[PickernRoller]

Pau playing like shit defensively. Dude gotta body up Duncan.

Jamison is a playoff loser. Everyone kept saying it and I didn't want to believe it.

[Magic 32]

Yes, Pau was always the MVP of this team. DEAR GOD THIS IS AWFUL :roll: :roll:

[PickernRoller]

Blowout soon.

Lol at Metta - you got no offense bro. Love the effort thou...:roll: :roll:

[Keiigo-]

My god, the Lakers are so bad w/o Kobe they would've been a lottery team without him this year.

[hitmanyr2k]

My god, the Lakers are so bad w/o Kobe they would've been a lottery team without him this year.

LA damn near missed the playoffs this year WITH Kobe :oldlol: Not sure why anyone would think it would get any better without him.

[Lateralus]

My god, the Lakers are so bad w/o Kobe they would've been a lottery team without him this year.

Yeah, I actually want to see Kobe now. Lottery next year though just in time for 2014

[Keiigo-]

LA damn near missed the playoffs this year WITH Kobe :oldlol: Not sure why anyone would think it would get any better without him.

You would think D12 would step up and stop dribbling under the ****ing basket expecting to make the shot, and Pau stop being so damn soft. :facepalm

[Lateralus]

Two fouls on Howard. Blowout inc.

[Magic 32]

LA damn near missed the playoffs this year WITH Kobe :oldlol: Not sure why anyone would think it would get any better without him.

Without Kobe, this is a 33 wins team in the West.

[JerryWest]

:cry:

[OJ SIMPSON 2.0]

Morris is trash

[SoCalLakersFan1]

I want Jamison to succeed, but he hasn't been a good match-up for Duncan at any point in his life.

[KG215]

Did I see the boxscore right? Did the Lakers have to start Darius Morris and Andrew Goudelock? That was seriously their starting backcourt in a playoff game? Wow.

[Lateralus]

Parker :bowdown: Ginobli :bowdown:



Lakers Offense :bowdown:

[O_City_Thunder]

[Lateralus]

There is a mamba in attendance....the Red Mamba :bowdown:

[OJ SIMPSON 2.0]

Lol this game is just sad.

[hitmanyr2k]

I think the Spurs could play their bench players the rest of the way and still win this game.

[DuMa]

championship cruise!

[BlackVVaves]

Lakers are better without Kobe, because posters on ISH said so.

[Magic 32]

This team is "2006 supporting cast" bad. But this time we don't have a real franchise player to compete.

[Keiigo-]

Dwight with 4 points 2 rebounds 2nd quarter....:confusedshrug: :facepalm

[Magic 32]

Classic Pau.:bowdown:

[b1imtf]

Dwight with 4 points 2 rebounds 2nd quarter....:confusedshrug: :facepalm
Foul trouble

[O_City_Thunder]

Did Nash and Blake give up or something? I'm pretty sure Nash is having hamstring issues or just old, but what's Blake excuse?

[SoCalLakersFan1]

Did Nash and Blake give up or something? I'm pretty sure Nash is having hamstring issues or just old, but what's Blake excuse?
He hurt his hamstring late in game 2.

[JM720]

Foul trouble

Thats on him, has to learn to stop picking up stupid fouls. Hand checking Duncan above the key :facepalm

[Legends66NBA7]

This is a story not too long ago...

I was at the last home game for the Raptors this season and I over head this conversation another Raptor fan was talking to with a couple of other fans (I believe it was Boston fans) about the Steve Nash situation with the Lakers.

The guy who started the conversation said it was Kobe's fault that Nash was having the season he was having.

He said - "That's why I don't like him. He's the one who's holding the ball too much and why Nash's numbers are down... He should have come to Toronto and he would taken us farther with more money too.

In between, the Boston fan said - "Yeah, he (Kobe) shoots his teams out of games."

And for whatever reason, the same Raptor fan said - "He also freezes out his other teammates. Remember, he ran Shaq out of town too.".

It was like I was browsing through ISH or something, but now with sound. I found it even more funny that none of that was all that accurate, as well, so my hunch is that there are a lot of casual fans that aren't using context, even on here.

My bad, didn't see the fouls

There's nothing more intolerable than a highly opinionated, highly unintelligent (in terms of basketball) fan.

[dazzer87]

LA baby! Howard :facepalm

[ace23]

Haha, they're getting booed at home. Too easy for the Spurs.

[Shepseskaf]

So, I guess DHo is still gonna get that max contract offer.....

[Beastmode88]

Spurs are gonna win by 35 points at this rate.

[dazzer87]

So, I guess DHo is still gonna get that max contract offer.....
I hope Lakers give him max contract.....:applause:

[dynasty1978]

The Lakers must re-sign Dwight Howard, BUT he simply cannot be option 1 on offense. Simply too limited in his moves and at the FT line.

[francesco totti]

lakers with 2 3 pointers

goudelock

[OJ SIMPSON 2.0]

Lakers need to feed Goudelock because Dwight is shit on offense and Pau is a pussi.

[b1imtf]

Shit Dwight. Get yours together

[b1imtf]

Dwight getting raped by TD

[daj0264]

Duncan :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[OJ SIMPSON 2.0]

I hope Parker is injured badly.

[DuMa]

D-League MVP GODLOCKE

[PickernRoller]

Drama developing :roll: :roll:

[JM720]

3rd string player playing with more heart than Gasol and Howard. :oldlol:

[dynasty1978]

Amazing how Duncan at this stage of his career is >> Dwight Howard

[BuffaloBill]

I hope Parker is injured badly.



:milton

[Amar'e_Juwanna]

lol Hubie "someone send a note to run it through the 2 big guys"

[SpecialQue]

I hope Parker is injured badly.

No need to be a douche.

[JM720]

lol Hubie "someone send a note to run it through the 2 big guys"

Hubie's just a fan.

[b1imtf]

3rd string player playing with more heart than Gasol and Howard. :oldlol:
I tought Gasol was alright

[Andrew Wiggins]

hubie = goat color commentator

hubie would be better than 90% of the coaches in the nba today

[PickernRoller]

Howard ain't a scrub offensively. Just struggling people.

[Andrew Wiggins]

it's funny

a struggling howard is still the best center in the league. when he's fully healthy, he'll dominate next season as usual

[jaydacris]

dim tuncan!!

[b1imtf]

Omg Timmy

[DonDadda59]

Tim Duncan putting on a big man clinic right now. Hopefully Dwight and Pau are taking notes :applause:

[Lateralus]

Duncan unconscious :bowdown: :bowdown:

[shady6121]

Tim Duncan :bowdown: :applause:

[PickernRoller]

Gasol proving why he needs to be shipped out from LA. Sucking since 2011.

No defense.

[Keiigo-]

I turned the game off half way through the second quarter.

[hitmanyr2k]

Dwight Howard has always been a mental midget.

[Sarcastic]

Who were the fans just chanting sucks?

[Lateralus]

Timmy D :bowdown: :bowdown:

This is just brutal.

[Noof]

Who were the fans just chanting sucks?
Sounded like referees to me.

[francesco totti]

Who were the fans just chanting sucks?


i think refs


lakers offence much better then celtics i think, but defence they got no stopping for tim duncan/tony parker

[darz]

Who were the fans just chanting sucks? they are chanting "REF. YOU SUCK!"

[Lateralus]

Who were the fans just chanting sucks?

Refs?

[DuMa]

lol anyone see jack going off on the ref in front of him

[PickernRoller]

Dwight needs to learn to move with his hips and not his elbows. Duncan getting the best of him and laughing at it.

[francesco totti]

duncan will add another name to his long resume he defeated in playoffs

dwight howard

[Lateralus]

Dat Ginobli pass :eek:

[stephanieg]

I wonder how bad Dwight will be when he's 37. Or if he'll even be in the league.

[Noob Saibot]

the lakeshow with 63 points after 3. :sleeping

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Imagine prime Timmy in todays NBA if this is what he does against Gasol and Howard in a must win playoff game.

[francesco totti]

I wonder how bad Dwight will be when he's 37. Or if he'll even be in the league.


I'll always take olajuwon, duncan over shaq, howard
love technique over dominance

[MVBallin2K]

This is just sad to watch. Congrats Spurs, you probably got the series swept after this. There's no Kobe to try and dig us out of the hole we're in.

[hitmanyr2k]

Imagine prime Timmy in todays NBA if this is what he does against Gasol and Howard in a must win playoff game.

2003-2006 Duncan would absolutely destroy Dwight Howard.

[Ashgar404]

anyone noticed who they picked for the all-time nba injured dream team?

[Mr. Jabbar]

earl clank at it again :facepalm

[PickernRoller]

"We want Phil"

F'ck the Refs!

[darz]

Neal should stop shooting this game...

[Magic 32]

I don't want to see Pau in a Lakers jersey after this game. Ship his a*s back to Spain. Steal his brother back.

[Odinn]

I'll always take olajuwon, duncan over shaq, howard
love technique over dominance
Claiming Shaq didn't have the fundamentals?:no: :no: :facepalm :facepalm

[MVBallin2K]

I don't know how Dwight re-signs after this. I don't even know if the Lakers want to re-sign him after this. It's sad the potential that was there compared to how it turned out but that's how it goes. Gotta move on from one mistake and onto the next chapter wherever that may go.

[Lateralus]

Tim still playing in this game? :wtf:


It's ok dwight, just take I-10 to the H.

[Bond007]

Kobe was the true leader of this team clearly. DHoward Flunked the challenge miserably ....

[PickernRoller]

Pau showing why he's an overpaid 20 mill soft bum.

Gotta love the empty triple double.

[francesco totti]

pau needs one more point for triple double

[Funnyfuka]

howard and gasol covered in timmy's feces all over their bodies. Howard trying to get fouled out in order to flee the embarassement this ga,me/the team have become. The end of an era without a doubt.

[MiamiDynasty]

http://sportsinput.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/lakers-we-are-back.jpeg

Who remembers this? Bye LA :roll: :roll:

[Funnyfuka]

pau needs one more point for triple double
yeah but what about his non existent defense.

[Magic 32]

He's probably a bandwagoner who doesn't even live in the state of Florida anyways so I doubt he cares about the Dolphins.

[MVBallin2K]

It's kinda sad when a Lakers/Spurs game thread only reaches nine pages but I guess even the haters aren't as interested in things without Kobe :oldlol: . Anyways 120 points for the Spurs is ridiculous. The last few years haven't been the best for the Lakers in the post season so I thought it was hard to get worse but a potential sweep in the first round? It's like every year since the championship has progressively got worse.

[Noof]

Is it next season yet

[longtime lurker]

Quoted for truth. The haters are showing their ass here. Not even about basketball talk just mindless hating.

[Legends66NBA7]

Damn, the worst home loss in Lakers history.

[d.bball.guy]

What an embarrassing loss :facepalm Just ridiculous. That's all I can say.

[The-Legend-24]

It was obvious that Kobe was holding D12 down.. :oldlol: These dudes are clueless of what to do without Kobe.

D'Antoni better not be the coach next year, or might just blow my brains out.

[Artillery]

Lakers are garbage. Just hand this series to the Spurs already.

Lakers are a joke, as predicted. Should have let Mavs or Jazz make the playoffs instead. lol at Stern's plan backfiring.

[Crafty]

I really thought the Lakers would win 2...

[beastmode]

local laker fans, the latino ones, still are holding out hope.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Lakers are a joke, as predicted. Should have let Mavs or Jazz make the playoffs instead. lol at Stern's plan backfiring.

Of course they are, they're missing 2 of their best players.

[vinsane01]

Good thing Tiago only got a sprained ankle. Based on his reaction it looked bad but the replay showed otherwise. Might be out for 10 days. I hope the other series goes to 7 games.

[Bandito]

He's probably a bandwagoner who doesn't even live in the state of Florida anyways so I doubt he cares about the Dolphins.
I wonder who's alt is he?
