The San Antonio Spurs took care of home court and ended Wednesday night with a 2-0 series lead against the Los Angeles Lakers. Mike D’Antoni became the first Lakers head coach to lose their first two playoffs games. Steve Blake posted 16 points, two assists and six rebounds. Meanwhile, Tony Parker took care of business and ended Game 2 with 28 points, seven assists and four rebounds. Here are some media and fan reactions of Wednesday night’s Game 2.
1. For the first time I agree with Krystal from LA’s Power106.
I wish Kobe was tweeting the whole game! I wonder what he’s yelling at his screen right now??

2. This has to be the be worst part about the Lakers this season.
Blake on this year’s string of injuries: “You almost can’t be surprised by it anymore.” Been that kind of year for the entire roster.

3. We miss you, Kobe.
I’m not making any excuses but Kobe is so important to this team, not only is the best player but he has to fix the blunder of the coaching.

4. Lakers fans believe!
OKC was down 2-0 to the Spurs last year and came back and won 4 straight. We aren’t OKC but I damn sure believe we can still win in six

5. A cry to the Lakers Management.

6. Do you guys think Mike D’Antoni should return as the Lakers’ head coach?
D’Antoni – “There’s not a whole lot of adjustments.” WUT?!

7. All you can do is give it your best, Nash
D’Antoni on Nash: “He’s battling. He’s not even close to 100 percent. He’s giving it all he’s got.”

8. Let’s hope their fuel has not ran out!
Lakers showed some heart getting to playoffs, but we’ll see how much they have left now. Game 3 loss would be spirit-breaking

9. Lakers Nation rise!
THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. If you’re a Lakers fan right now, we’re the diehard loyal ones. #ontothenextone

10. Hope the Lakers can prove all the doubters and make history in the first round.
Everyone is so anxious to see the Lakers fail. That’s what makes my team so amazing & legendary.
