Has to make his free throws though.

it was a long 2 wasn't it?Thing is he's aggressive and he made a lot of big shots and Metta would have at least passed to Kobe on the cut as he's known. But the best passing big man in the game that isn't aggressive enough decides to NOT pass to Kobe and take a 3 instead....
Pau should have passed that, but I trust his Judgement. If anything he's reading too much and not reacting enough.
Don't forget pau made some nice plays down the stretch to put us in position to win.

Big respect to the Spurs and Mr. Popovich, Spurs fans won't be too happy with their teams performance themselves. Hope we can meet in May and settle who is the team of the decade.

I think if we meet in the west finals or semis then we will win. If we could be this close to them without key players in our team and still very fresh as a team all together then we should get by them.

A lot of positives can be taken from this game.
Losing isn't a big deal in this one.

Good game overall...only if we made our freethrows and stopped turning the ball over, we would have had this game. Oh well...on to the next one!

Does anybody else think that if we traded Pau for Smith then it will make D12 second guess his staying here in LA next year?

Most Spurs fans counter saying how they've been elite for 15+ straight years while we've had years of mediocrity (05-07). And they also play up their undefeated record in the finals (4-0) compared to ours (5-2). I feel we need another championship to finally settle the debate in our favor.

That will happen this year my friend
No matter what, in the end we will beat Miami. There's going to be some bench trades for sure during the year though.

That's true but that doesn't compare to how much harder repeating and three-peating is. Just look at how many teams in SPORTS do just that. We're the only one in the last decade lol. But hopefully we get that championship indeedMost Spurs fans counter saying how they've been elite for 15+ straight years while we've had years of mediocrity (05-07).

Sucks we lose but we played hard though. That was pretty dumb move at the end, not sure why Gasol even attempted that 3pointer. Jodie's been awful so far but maybe D'Antoni system can help him.

We basically lost because we didnt do the little things right
- We had 17 turnovers, they had 8 so they had 16 more shots
- So many freaking times we could've finish off a defensive possession with a defensive rebound, I can remember at least 4 times off the top of my head where the ball went out of bounds
- 14 out of 22 from the free throw line
Even when Nash comes back, we need to get better at these things. They're the difference between winning/losing playoff games

yeah having his best friend from Atlanta on the Lakers with him while we win a championship will totally make him second guess staying
If we somehow land Dwight Howard AND Nash (which is one of the biggest reaches I've posted, don't think that will happen), then yeah...I have no problem with it, because Howard won't allow anyone to take Nash off the dribble 30+ minutes a game.

What a shame! Where is our clutch player? %100 false shot selection... Kobe should have used the last ball.
