During Game 1 thread

OK, gonna throw this idea out.<br>
<br>
Would it freak out Kobe if we put Manu on him - or would Kobe eat his lunch?<br>
<br>
Can we just play Tony 48 minutes? Speedy just doesn't impress me. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong><br>

Looks like Mark Madsen is in a bit of foul trouble. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.sahoops.net/"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0QADfApkSeUk9zlYmKZD!kEYVfTRxNiHi*2GBpiYMnqYEwge9yob3RLavatTd9YDicUh7iO1GgSXtV*tH91yhJBLmvfwg9Gakqo7fAhxwGg8/NZ0.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--> <br>

I know that Madsen's role is much like Rose's - to make the fouls from the bench. It's still nice to see him with 3 half-way thru the 2nd tho. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong><br>

Kobe hits Tim in the face. That should have been a technical. <p></p><i></i>

ha ha, NZ and I had the same thought at same time...<br>
<br>
How is Kobe whipping his arm around in frustration after a miss/block and slapping Tim's head not a foul. Is this something the league looks at after a game? Isn't that against some league rule if not game rule?<br>
<br>
I don't think it's worth a suspension but what about a fine? <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong><br>

I KNOW - <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :wtf --><img src=http://www.myezboard.com/projects/ezboard/ezboard_userimages/wtf.gif ALT=":wtf"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> and some said we were weak to worry about the game being called fair? <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>That was freaking rediculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START >: --><img src=http://www.myezboard.com/projects/ezboard/ezboard_userimages/anim_pissed.gif ALT=">:"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Damn, who saw that halfcourt 3-pointer by Willis? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rock --><img src=http://www.myezboard.com/projects/ezboard/ezboard_userimages/spursdominion/images/rock.gif ALT=":rock"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

The officiating to end the half was atrocious, especially for the Spurs. Shaq can maul people in the paint and it's a block. Duncan is merely near Kobe and he gets tagged with his third foul, just after Horry blatantly held Bowen to free Kobe for the shot.<br>
<br>
The Spurs missed a ton of wide open shots. Claxton needs to shoot less. The Lakers don't look the least bit menacing. <p></p><i></i>

I cannot believe SPurs blew another lead - going by what VWolf said looks like they had a bit of help - I am not feeling good about thins<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

What an AWESOME three-pointer by Willis, and we needed it to stop the Lakers' 7-point run. It's great to get a bit of good luck. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.myezboard.com/projects/ezboard/ezboard_userimages/spursdominion/images/turquoisesmilewinkgrin.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE HR START--><hr /><!--EZCODE HR END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:brown;font-family:Arial;font-size:xx-small;">"We got our behinds kicked and we got spit on.

Refs so far? Not bad to begin with...but towards the end...a little iffy...especially the 3rd foul on Tim Duncan. But, all in all, I think some of the other SPURS need to step up. <p>Pablo P. Kazzo<br>

I hope the league looks at that slap. Wasnt intentional, but that's why you're not supposed to thrash out wildly in anger.<br>
<br>
<br>
I think the refs are doing as good as we can hope for. I do like that Shaq's gotten an offensive foul and a traveling so far.<br>
<br>
<br>
And... we're not falling apart in the 3rd - that's too scary!<br>
<br>

My Man Manu!!! steals and makes a 3!!! <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong><br>
