Four rings, faggots!

[Spursmania]

What a great way to start the day. Adding a good option by signing Gooden and then being able to watch the Spurs kick the Mavs ass again. Cool...:wakeup

[Texas_Ranger]

Mavs're a better team...I gues they'll win by 15 or so!








:rollin

[m33p0]

i agree, you're an idiot.

Maybe after this game, Cuban will fire himself. It looks like all his players are on their way out the door already.

http://www.star-telegram.com/287/story/1237192.html

[kobyz]

i Don't understand why the Spurs are allowd J. Crawford to be referee in their games. after all the past incidents with this referee the Spurs need to demand from the NBA to disqualified this referee from all the spurs games forever, the Spurs have all the rights to do so.

[bbarry]

Spurs win it 139-67

[lefty]

Is BLog going to have a Bloag like affect?

:lol

[Bruno]

It will be interesting to see how Mavs players will react after Cuban call them out in the press.

[Skadie]

Kick Crawford out, he's too sensitive to be a ref

[Xylus]

Spurs! Do me a solid and beat Dallas tonight. In return, I'll do whatever is asked of me for a 24-hour period.

[dirk4mvp]

It will be interesting to see how Mavs players will react after Cuban call them out in the press.

What they usually do in a big game. Lose by 15.

Tomorrow's headline in the Dallas Morning News

Dallas Mavericks cut:

Jose Barea, Brandon Bass, Matt Carroll, Erick Dampier, Devean George, Gerald Green, Ryan Hollins, Josh Howard, Jason Kidd, Dirk Nowitzki, James Singleton, Jerry Stackhouse, Jason Terry, Shawne Williams, Antoine Wright

[Spursmania]

Yeah, keep missing Dallas!

[peskypesky]

why is tim so damn reluctant to drive on dampier?

[Hemotivo]

duncan mad with tony?

[raspsa]

So much for the hand-wringing that Bonner would be demoralized by the Gooden's arrival..

[Spursmania]

Howard may not be able to finish the game. Dude's already limping...

[Manufan909]

Or not...:depressed

[peskypesky]

if tim would drive and get dampier in foul trouble, the mavs would be fucked. so why just keep jacking up jumpers? i don't get it

[Capt Bringdown]

Nice, Duncan and Parker arguing all the way to the bench.

[Ice009]

Good to see Malik get some court time early.

Guys I'm not liking Mason Jr of late. He is starting to go Hedo on us with his shooting. Remember that Hedo was leading the league in three point shooting or very close to it then he just went down the shitter towards the end of the season.

You gotta step it up Mase.

[TampaDude]

why is tim so damn reluctant to drive on dampier?

+1 Damp can't guard TD at all...post that fucker up, Timmy!!! :hat

[Spursfan092120]

Do they still play "mamas don't let your babies grow up to be Spurs fans?" That's just sad..lol..I thought mothers wanted their kids to be successful, and be a part of a successful team?

[TampaDude]

TP feelin' it...

Hairston getting some early time.

[Crookshanks]

Isn't Jason Kidd supposed to be the Point Guard? Josh Howard just brought the ball up the court and Kidd never touched it.

[Spursmania]

That sucked!

spurs look like crap. tim has got to take fucking charge of this.

[Ice009]

Forget what I said about Mason Jr going Hedo on us. He's going Ime on us. He can't hit a shot or handle the ball lately.

Roger man you have to find yourself again and step up. Toughen up. You're playing for the Spurs now not the Wizards. Forget about everything and just play your game!

[Chomag]

Why the Hell does Pop keep pulling out Hairston so early?

[Mal]

thx for answers

[Spursfan092120]

Dampier is wearing concrete shoes..Timmy should run by him all night.

[TampaDude]

Mason 3!!!

[Spursfan092120]

Why the Hell does Pop keep pulling out Hairston so early?
He wasn't playing good defense.

[Chomag]

He wasn't playing good defense.


And he isnt the only one not playing defence? lol

[TampaDude]

Timmy and 1!

[MI21]

Josh Howard hasn't made a jumpshot for 18 months, but never misses against the Spurs :madrun

[peskypesky]

Mason's hot now

[Spursmania]

Hill must be on Pops shit list. Roger's running point.

[WalterBenitez]

Mason sucks @ PG, but do pretty well from 3ps

[Mal]

otro triplaso :D

[Spursfan092120]

Kidd reached on Mason at the end of the quarter..no call..

[Chomag]

I love how our rookies are not allowed to make one mistake. While the Vets can...

Shouldn't that be the opposite?

[peskypesky]

Josh Howard hasn't made a jumpshot for 18 months, but never misses against the Spurs :madrun

:lmao

[Capt Bringdown]

Entertaining quarter

[Spursfan092120]

Hill must be on Pops shit list. Roger's running point.
No..I think it's something they're trying. Like they said on ESPN..gives them a weapon to use in the playoffs. Trying to make it where people can't double off the point on to Timmy.

[TampaDude]

TD is absolutely OWNING Dampier in the paint...keep it up, Timmy!!! :toast

[smrattler]

So... I guess Hill is not our backup PG now?

Pop's would prefer to spot Hill some small spurts in the playoffs. Hey, a rookie is a rookie.

He'd prefer Mason play mor mins than Hill. He trusts him more.

I don't have a problem with that. But as you can see, his PG ball handling is rusty and there will be turnovers. But if Pop has made up his mind that this is the guy he wants to run the point in the playoffs when Tony sits, then you have to let him work through the turnovers right now.

If you put Mason out there with Manu, you can let Manu bring the ball up. and then give it back to Rog...

[Spursmania]

Got it- I missed that!:tu

Agree. Can't wait till Manu gets back...

[Spursmania]

Cuban looks like such an asshole!

[duncan228]

The Pop interviews are so fun. How he keeps a straight face with most of his 'answers' is great.

[smrattler]

LOL! Pop never ceases to make the between quarter chat with him the most uncomfortable interview to do (for the reporter) and to watch (the world)!!!

[Ice009]

I'd say Mason at PG is because we're getting no offense at all from Hill. You can't have that many offensive liabilities out there on the court and no defense to go with it.

[TampaDude]

KT with the J!!!

[bbarry]

kurt has been absolute money with his mid-to-long range jumper.

[Spursfan092120]

Roger is a beast.

[TampaDude]

Mason feelin' it...

[Spursfan092120]

Wherever the guy is who was telling Roger to play his game....he listened to you.

[Holt's Cat]

Mason is a pretty good basketball jump shooter.

[tony09manu]

we're playing well...

[Rain318]

go spurs

[Ice009]

Plus maybe having Hill at off guard is a lot better than having a rookie is learning to play PG run your offense in the playoffs.

[TampaDude]

we're playing well...

+1 So far, so good...the Spurs are playing well enough to win this game. Keep it up, guys! :toast

[smrattler]

But like Bowen, I do believe Pop values a defensive specialist and he will find a place to use him well.

I can see it now, TP getting torched to start a game and getting tired in the playoffs. Enter Hill for 5 mins to swing the "tired" pendulum the other way a little bit.

[kjhip1]

i think pop is just trying to see what Mason can do at the point...I dont think its anything permanent..

That's exactly what it's coming to. And it's SO good to have someone who can do that.

[kjhip1]

i do like the defense we putting on Dirk though

[Spursfan092120]

LOL...there's nothing permanent on this team except for Tim, Manu, and Tony...

Amen to that

[TampaDude]

Bruuuuuce!!!

[kjhip1]

Mason is money tonight..

[m33p0]

so is Pop spotting the Mavs Tim and Parker to make things fair?

[TampaDude]

Josh Howard is gimpy, but he's still bringin' it...

[Spursfan092120]

Gooden would have made that..lol

[kjhip1]

what the hell was AND 1 BONNER doing?

[smrattler]

Is Pop using this game to just play with his lineups??????

He's mixing it up like we haven't seen in a while.

[tony09manu]

defensssee

[smrattler]

Mason@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

[tony09manu]

Good job, Hill.

[TampaDude]

Mason for 3!!!

[smrattler]

There's the steal by Hill.

THAT is what Pop wants from the guy.

Getting a good look at everyone tonight.

[Marcus Bryant]

Mason is unconscious. Glad we dropped Barry for him.

[Spursmania]

MASOOOONN! Damn I'm impressed.

[Spursfan092120]

No D by Dirk

[smrattler]

irk

[Capt Bringdown]

Mason's hot, quick take him out the game, Pop. WTF?

[Biggems]

if we could put the reins on Mr. Ed, we would be owning this game.....he has 20 pts already.....sheesh

[Spursmania]

No D by Dirk

Dirk's defense always sucks...:p:

[kjhip1]

Kurt has got J goin down this yea...What a plus to have him and bonner doing and then adding a guy like Gooden..granted, gooden is no savior but you can never have too many bigs..especially in the West..

[TampaDude]

Damn...KT is fucking locked in with that midrange J!

[xtremesteven33]

Mason's hot, quick take him out the game, Pop. WTF?



Hes played alot of minutes already BRAH

[bbarry]

Spurs being bailed out right now with Mason's contested jumpers. Better start moving that ball better or we're gonna give this lead up.

[Spursfan092120]

Freaking hate Jason Terry

[dastrey]

Mason is much more effective with the ball in his hands.

[Spursmania]

Yeah-we need Bowen on Howard's ass!

[WalterBenitez]

Cuban looks like such an asshole!

Not only looks like .. .he is an asshole:wakeup

[smrattler]

If we just challenged Howard a LITTLE bit, we'd be owning these guys right now.

[Ice009]

But like Bowen, I do believe Pop values a defensive specialist and he will find a place to use him well.

I can see it now, TP getting torched to start a game and getting tired in the playoffs. Enter Hill for 5 mins to swing the "tired" pendulum the other way a little bit.

That would be good. I have no problem with Hill getting court time for defense and attacking from the off guard spot.

[nkdlunch]

Mason!

[Spursfan092120]

Damn...KT is fucking locked in with that midrange J!
When you get to play for a coach like Pop, he'll get you that shot over and over again...he hasn't been this good on that shot for a long time.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Scared me for a minute, Duncan's eye, not his knee.

[kjhip1]

Mason like BUTTER and on a ROLL!

[peskypesky]

spurs shooting 61%

[smrattler]

Howard plays D. Terry brings toughness and clutch shooting usually (when healthy). Guys like Bass and Wright too, the tougness. But Dirk needs to lead and Damp needs to be the defensive anchor in the middle. And those two are the middle and they are for the most part, soft.

[smrattler]

LEave it to Fin to get us on a cold streak...

[kjhip1]

what the heck was finley doing...horrible D

[Manufan909]

TPs jay better start falling.

[Manu-of-steel]

dump the ball to duncan in the post

[Ice009]

Well there went the lead. Stupid jumper after jumper after jumper. TP CLANG, clang, clang.

When Tp misses his jumpers a way off. That means to me lay the fuck off the jumper for a while TP. Look at other avenues.

And why do the Mavs only show up against the Spurs? Bunch of fucking faggots.
