Game #8: San Antonio Spurs (6-1) @ Los Angeles Lakers (3-4)

[GailGoodrich]

You know what would be awesome? If tonight's game was just a basketball game.

No more drama, no more circus, no more craziness. I've had enough! I give! :cry:

Hell, I'll even take a trade-Blake fest if it means we don't have to talk about the front office and coaches any more. Unless Morris plays like stink, in which case the logical conclusion will be that we should trade Pau.

Let the game begin!

turnovers 18.1

our bench

17.5 pts per game

if we can up our bench production to closer to 20 and cut our turnovers down to 14 we have a chance.

hope morris and mwp can each chip in 10 and hope kobe,pau,kobe each can give us 20 pts each. that's 80 pts. we need our bench to give us close to 30 pts.

j.hill we need a double double from you. and need jamison and meeks to each put in 10 pts each. that's 110 pts. if we do that we win

right now our 6th man jamison chips is 4 pts a game and that isn't going to get it done.

i think we'll win this game, but Bernie really needs to address the turnovers. The defense has to got to get tighter.

Gregg Popovich is more than qualified to run his players to success.

It's going to be a battle of the coaches and adjustments more than players and talents.

by the way. mike D'Antoni said he'd like to keep the coaching staff intact.
he just going to bring his brother Dan D'antoni.

so this should relieve Bernie of any doubts of a no job.

Manu is questionable to play

[Mr. NBA]

it doesn't matter if Manu is out or tim duncan is out. Great coaches are more than capable of using his squad to the optimum rotations.

so, it would still be a hard game. nonetheless, Bernie must show he can outcoach Gregg.

**** Spurs....Morris with 14 pts 8 assists and 4 rebs and fantastic defense on Parker will lead lakers to the victory against spurs

These are the games where your best guys need to step up. Howard needs to be that guy

That awkward moment when Kurt Rambis is talking.
