That call is "missed" because Howard had 3 fouls. Then they came back just now and gave him the 4th he should have had. He should now have 5 but the black helicopters are circling...

What a pathetic missed call

GINOBILI!!!

JFF likes the spurs

Finally a good closeout to a quarter and Manu not being a liability.

Terrible offensive play calling.

D'Antoni absolutely hates post play, and it may cost him his job.

I've always wondered how JFF couldn't be a Spurs fan after growing up in Kerrville.

I understand you have to limit minutes, but if the team is rolling, you have to leave those players in there. Pop always does this.

Kawhibunga

Boo boo Dantoni can't make them make shots. The Lakers have had some very, very easy shots. And thy just didn't make them. Nash, MWP, and Blake were a combined 11-34

Can't steal a game if the shots just aren't falling

Game.

Spurs aren't even playing well and they are up by 16

It's hard to believe the Spurs are winning this handily after the way they have played. I think LA is in big trouble.

Amazing what happens when you start hitting open shots.

The Spurs have 4 weeks to get their crap together for the series with the Thunder. Their only prayer is that the starting 5 + Manu hit peak health during that time. Getting anything from Diaw by then would be a plus also, because Bonner is awful.

A month is enough time to get it together, but the odds they all hit peak health are astronomically low. It looks possible for Manu, but Tony still looks really slow.

Not a fan of the Tony ISO play.

What was that coach doing? lol

Not a fan of the Ginobili ISO play either.

Flyin' Kawhian. Also, why hasn't Dejuan been playing at all, even in the regular season? I think he could really contribute, but will probably be used as trade bait in the offseason.

Wow. A 13-point lead over a Bryant-less #7 seed Laker team and they think the Spurs have a chance to win it all?

Gotta play a ton better than today, for sure.

Really disgusted by the Laker's play calling, turnovers and effort on the glass today. Hope we take away the positive effort on defense and get it together for game 2.

Credit to the Spurs for grinding out an ugly one.

Not a pretty game by any means. Gotta step it up if we wanna hope for a sweep. And this won't get it done against the Nuggets.

Kobe now tweeting to Phil Jackson.

The Spurs have been missing open shots since Parker's injury. They're on a multi-month, team-wide cold streak.

Though I don't see it happening this year, this team still has the ability to be really good. If we can gain some confidence during this series and start hitting shots, look out.

EDIT: oh, and as for Nash being off, the dude turned 39 in February. He's not off, he's just freaking old.

Nash will never again play at a level that's anywhere close to his 2005 form.

Nash has put up .497 FG%, .438 3PT% and .922 FT% in 50 games this season. He missed some open looks today that drop for him on most nights.

Lot's of basketball skills deteriorate with age, but shooting uncontested shots isn't one of them.

Kobe is the biggest POS I have ever seen- I would cut him and the 51 million cap hit for next year

Kobe and Phil making sure they can stay in the news.

Kobe Bryant ✔ :
@PhilJackson11 I gotta do something. It's horrible not being able to at least be there with them.

Phil Jackson ✔ :
No, you were right on…it’ll drive you bananas to just watch the ship go down. Just one game down-get one road win


In his postgame press conference, D'Antoni was asked about Kobe's tweets, to which he responded, "it's great to have," while rolling his eyes.

But D'Antoni wasn't bothered by Kobe's commentary. After all, "He's a fan. Just a fan right now," said D'Antoni.


Kobe Bryant ✔ :
A fan?? Lol #microphonetalk

Nearly expected to see Phil ask why Brett Favre got more attention when he was undecided on coming out of retirement, and ask Kobe what he could do to help him get more attention.

I'm still waiting for Pop to get a twitter account.

Parker is not back in form, but it was great to see Manu scoring.

If parker can take form, look out OKC you will have your hands full! Los Spurs!!
