the spurs choked plain and simple. They played excellent bball in the 1st 2 games but were too stagnate the last 4 which is why they lost the series.

In this last game they were shooting terribly, if they actually made some baskets they might not have lost.

And as far as payton and malone being stars:

Ginobili and Turkoglu match up to them in many of the stats pretty evenly, and duncan and parker match up to shaq and kobe. It was a pretty evenly matched game, but the lakers simply played better.


now lets hear some more crying from you.

crying? can u at least argue like an adult?

the spurs didnt choke. plain and simple: this series was decided on one shot like last years series was decided on one miss

wtf are u saying... so the other 47 minutes don't count? The events leading up to the final minute doesn't count? ok then..we'll have basketball games last one minute then
:roll:

lakers actually had 16 point lead.. and they BLEW IT! so if someone choked, lakers did that game

hahaha it doesnt matter how big of lead you squander when you win the game at the end, you still won. haha

Yes duncan's shot was lucky, but fisher's shot was EXTREMELY lucky..
jeebuz.. .4 secs??

and I also hate the fact that the lakers get lots of lucky shots like that..

heh, Duncan's shot was extremely low percentage. But he was at least *looking* at the basket when he shot it, and it was also from that area up above the key where he seems to like to take shots. Fisher's was a blind, no-look turnaround heave off one foot. Even though the Spurs had to double Kobe and had to keep a 2nd guy ready to cheat down toward Shaq for a potential lob on that final play, Fisher was defended and had a hand in his face. But since he wasn't looking anyway, what did that matter? What can you do though, sometimes stuff happens, like Ralph Sampson in '86, right?

The Spurs were outplayed for the majority of Game 5 and were ultimately in a position to steal a win solely on the virtue of that desperation shot by Duncan. Sort of like the blueprint for many underachieving Laker wins.

Last night S.A. was absymal from the field and didn't deserve that game either. That's basically the story of the series after Game 2. Many of those shots were wide open because of the ridiculous overcompensating stack-the-lane defense that the Lakers have had to resort to on the Spurs for the last *two* years in the playoffs. I figured they would miss the one-trick pony Steve Kerr when he retired, I had no idea that it would get this bad. The Lakers were not that much better than last year, the Spurs just somehow found a way to be even more pathetic from the outside. Maybe it's time they took the hint and found some Eastern European guy in the draft with no vowels in his last name who can't play defense, but who's done nothing but shoot 24 footers on dirt courts in freezing weather since he was 7 years old.

if the spurs hadn't choked soo badly in games 3 and 4 then the game 5 buzzer beater wouldn't have mattered so much but that still doesnt say anything about the poor shooting in game 6.


your just pissed cause the spurs squandered a huge 2 game lead in the series and the lakers came from behind to win. on espn i believe they said thats it only been done 4 times in the history of the nba and 2 of the times it was the lakers. the last one with jerry west and this one with kobe bryant

i'm not pissed at all, the better team won end of story

as for choking away game 2 and 3, i really dont see how that is. they took the first two at home like they were supposed to and the lakers took the next two at home like they were supposed to leading us to the epic game five

Spurs fans, we don't need you here. Hit the road jack.

yeah it pisses me off when all my friends start yelling about how lucky fishers shot was. Yeah it was lucky, but it's not like Duncan's was a run of the mill shot that put his team in front either. 9/10 times anyone will miss that shot while being guarded so tight and having to shoot so awkwardly.

LAKERS ROCK.

 

[josphII]

the spurs didnt choke the lakers just outplayed them. the lakers looked like a totally different team starting in game 3 and the spurs couldnt rise to another level. the spurs just dont have as many good players as the lakers and it showed.

duncans quote following game 6 sums it up:

"I felt like I was outnumbered out there."

---------------------------

zombie,

the lakers are not buying a championship. buying a championship implies the lakers are over paying for karl malone and/or gary payton, or they are the only team that can afford these two players. the salary cap prevents teams from buying championships, but it doesnt prevent players from accepting less than what their value is. rick fox signed for much less than what he was worth back in ~'95, and malone and gp did it last year. now if you're accusing the lakers of being such a desirable franchise to play for that other players will accept less to play for them then they are guilty as charged. the lakers just kick ass, both as a team and as a franchise.
