Spurs vs. Mavs - 2009 First Round Game 1

[Spursfan092120]

I was kind of worried about Mason getting Playoff nerves...nevermind.

[NewJerSpur]

The Mavs look terrible.....nice job Spurs.

[Budkin]

You gotta love the Spurs playing so well, but I hate playing good teams with big leads.

[TDomination]

Hubie Brown just said "can the Spurs keep this up for 4 qtrs?"

I sure hope so.

[Spursfan092120]

Totally gonna buy that Notorious movie.

[Danny.Zhu]

Roger!

[NewJerSpur]

I was kind of worried about Mason getting Playoff nerves...nevermind.

Won't happen. If he's nothing else, he's a coldblooded trigger-man.

[BWS-1994]

Mason 3 to end the first quarter.

[Banzai]

Hubie Brown just said "can the Spurs keep this up for 4 qtrs?"

I sure hope so.

do the spurs tend to relax in the 2nd or 3rd with big leads?

[Manufan909]

Drew is on pace for 20 offensive boards per 40.:lol

[Crookshanks]

Is the game only on ESPN?

[spursfan1000]

Hubie Brown just said "can the Spurs keep this up for 4 qtrs?"

I sure hope so.


Thats a good point, but I believe the Spurs can keep this up because its the playoffs!!! :flag:

[Creation88]

what the fuck Spurs' fans in attendance? AT&T gives out free white t-shirts and only 70% of the crowd is wearing them. i fucking hate those "fans" sometimes. wtf, guys c'mon.

i wonder if it's because the t-shirts were too small for this fatass city. :lol

good 1st quarter. i like the aggression from Udoka and Finley. they're really attacking the hoop. good stuff. keep it going guys!

[jag]

I was kind of worried about Mason getting Playoff nerves...nevermind.

Dude's ice cold

[TDomination]

Won't happen. If he's nothing else, he's a coldblooded trigger-man.
agreed

[Spurs 4 The Win]

There should be 1 second put back on. The ball went out right before the quarter ended

[spursfan1000]

Is the game only on ESPN?


Its also on FOXSW ... channel 26 for time warner cutomers in SA...thats where im watching it.

[Spooky]

Bowen is playing good. The team looks good. :flag:

[NewJerSpur]

do the spurs tend to relax in the 2nd or 3rd with big leads?

It's not that they relax, they just execute poorly sometimes, which drives Pop crazy....plus they tend to have scoring droughts up until the 4th.

[Spursfan092120]

do the spurs tend to relax in the 2nd or 3rd with big leads?
sometimes...and then they pick it up in the 4th.

[Creation88]

Fxsw > espn

[Budkin]

do the spurs tend to relax in the 2nd or 3rd with big leads?

They lose big leads a lot, especially in the playoffs.

[Spursfan092120]

Dude's ice cold
Yeah..I know...I had a feeling he'd be fine...we just really need him.

[spursfan1000]

what the fuck Spurs' fans in attendance? AT&T gives out free white t-shirts and only 70% of the crowd is wearing them. i fucking hate those "fans" sometimes. wtf, guys c'mon.

i wonder if it's because the t-shirts were too small for this fatass city. :lol

good 1st quarter. i like the aggression from Udoka and Finley. they're really attacking the hoop. good stuff. keep it going guys!


lol I was just about to say something about SA being a fat city :lol

[BUMP]

we have to keep Parker out of the paint, whatever it takes

[Crookshanks]

Its also on FOXSW ... channel 26 for time warner cutomers in SA...thats where im watching it.

I guess that means it's on a local station here in Dallas also. So I have to choose between Hubie Brown and the Dallas announcers? :depressed

[Spursfan092120]

I'll be at the game on Monday..if they give away the shirts, you can damn sure bet I'll be wearing them...WTF is up with that..

[NewJerSpur]

we have to keep Parker out of the paint, whatever it takes

Hope you got Shaq on speed dial. :lol

[Borosai]

I like the intensity I'm seeing right now. I knew Bonner would take it up another level. Wait till he hits the next level.

[BUMP]

the streakin' Puerto Rican!

[phxspurfan]

Barea looks like a midget out there. His head is disproporionate to his body...

[TampaDude]

I'm not saying the Spurs are going to win the title this year.
I'm not saying they'll even win this series with the Mavs.
I'm not even saying they're going to win this game.

But..it's a helluva start!!!

GO SPURS GO!!!!! :flag:

[BWS-1994]

Gooden?

[TDomination]

dang

[Spursfan092120]

fuck...bad start to the second.

[BUMP]

Barea looks like he's gonna have to duplicate Devn Harris in this series

[spursfan1000]

Dont be in a hurry Spurs, take your time and exsicute.

[Crookshanks]

Not such a good start to the 2nd...

[Spursfan092120]

Nice job KT.

[TDomination]

gotta make the open j's

[Spursfan092120]

Mason needs to be running to hit that shot.

[stéphane]

Mavs are chocking and we're taking advantage of it.
Talk about Houston syndrome.

[BWS-1994]

"Bare went for the flop" lol

Too bad Mason can't hit the open J...

[TDomination]

wow, not a good start at all

[BUMP]

like i said, when our shots go in we actually play defense



which is pathetic

[TDomination]

thank you Drew!

[jag]

DO it drew

[Spursfan092120]

Nice job Drew...

[Libri]

Gooden hook

[Danny.Zhu]

Gooden got beaten by Bass...

[Spursfan092120]

Mavs are chocking and we're taking advantage of it.
Talk about Houston syndrome.
Please don't jinx us.

[BWS-1994]

3rd foul on Wright...

[spursfan1000]

Wow what a way to beat the shit out of Gooden.

[Spursfan092120]

Timmy in early..knees must be ok.

[mattyc]

Mavs 2-7 from 3. Hope that continues.

[TDomination]

mason to gooden. nice

[Spursfan092120]

Beautiful P&R

[BWS-1994]

Gooden dunks it!

[Crookshanks]

Woo Hoo Gooden!!

[spursfan1000]

Dunk by Gooden...our ball!

[Libri]

good drive by Mason and dunk by Gooden

[Spursfan092120]

offensive foul..nice.

[Manufan909]

Gooden is a damn beast baby!!!

[phxspurfan]

This lineup is weird... Duncan, Gooden, Bowen, Mason, Parker. Pop's supposed starting C, backup PF, out of lineup SF, backup PG and starting PG...

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruce Bowen is FUCKING GREAT

[jag]

Bruce is making his minutes count. I love seeing him out there!

[NewJerSpur]

like i said, when our shots go in we actually play defense



which is pathetic

It's called frontrunning, but your team still has time.

[Bob Lanier]

Twin towers!

[spursfan1000]

:flag:

[Borosai]

I really, really, really hope to witness a Mavs meltdown. Spurs, please deliver.

[Creation88]

this lineup should be starting

[manufor3]

this is going good.... so far

[Creation88]

This lineup is weird... Duncan, Gooden, Bowen, Mason, Parker. Pop's supposed starting C, backup PF, out of lineup SF, backup PG and starting PG...

that should be the starting line u. :downspin:

[Crookshanks]

Dallas is playing like a skittish colt!

[Creation88]

c'mon Timmy time!

[peskypesky]

Gooden is a damn beast baby!!!

Pop will bench him for the rest of the game for that dunk.

[stéphane]

Gooden going grasshoper style.

[spursfan1000]

this lineup should be starting

I would rather Gooden come off bench to help bench produce..:flag:

[mattyc]

Nice Drew. Go Spurs.

[GooberNuts]

Spur's defensive is looking a lot more solid today

[Chieflion]

Pop's coaching abilities increase in the playoffs.

[peskypesky]

Bruce Bowen is FUCKING GREAT

told y'all Bowen would be playing in the playoffs!!

Defense, baby!!!

[Whisky Dog]

I cringed when Mason went to the point, but it hasn't been disasterous yet.

Here is the difference in playing the Mavs and the Lakers. Outside of Terry and possibly Barea the Mavs don't have a bench that will do shit most of the time. The Lakers do. That makes me a bit more hopeful for this series - we can get away with some of these offensively challenged 2nd units.

[BWS-1994]

3rd foul on Dirk.

[spursfan1000]

YESSS foul on Dirk!!! hell yea!

[Spursfan092120]

NICE...foul on Dirky... :)

[Manufan909]

this lineup should be starting

Indeed. Gooden drawing a foul on Dirk, I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jag]

Drew just shit on Dirk.

Naw...Dirk just shit on Dirk.

[Crookshanks]

3 on Dirk! Man this is great!

[peskypesky]

yes!!! 3rd on Nowitzki...drawn by Too Gooden!

[HarlemHeat37]

so as I predicted in the "who is the best option on Dirk" thread, Gooden can get him in foul trouble and make him use his energy..

[Spursfan092120]

So great to have a big man really good at free throws.

[Stump]

well done Drew

[peskypesky]

so far so Gooden!!

[peskypesky]

Goddamnit I am psyched!!! Gooden getting burn! Bowen getting burn! and the Spurs kicking ass!

[Danny.Zhu]

3rd personal foul
good job gooden

[Banzai]

3 fouls on dirk..wonder if he'll be benched for the remained of the quarter.

[Spursfan092120]

so as I predicted in the "who is the best option on Dirk" thread, Gooden can get him in foul trouble and make him use his energy..
:tu not to mention frustrate the shit out of him. Heard before the game Bonner was saying what the Spurs needed to do was slow down Dallas' transition game and make them play halfcourt ball...so far so good.

[Bob Lanier]

Looks like Pop is following the timvp gameplan.

:tu

[Crookshanks]

so far so Gooden!!

:lol I like that!

[peskypesky]

Parker again!!

[jag]

Barea's midge-ass can't guard Parker. Not even close

[BWS-1994]

Drew getting more aggressive.

[manufor3]

Gooden!!!

[peskypesky]

Parker playing out of his mind!!

[phxspurfan]

The black hole Drew Gooden!

[Spursfan092120]

DAMN it's good to have another big who can create who is clutch as shit.

[BUMP]

wow, what an asskicking. jesus

one team came to play the other didnt

[peskypesky]

I told all y'all that Gooden was going to be our x-factor!!!

[spursfan1000]

Nice pass by Parker to feed it to Gooden, damn it feels like Carlisle has called like 30 timeouts.

[Creation88]

fuck yes Gooden!

[Spooky]

Gooden kickin ass

[peskypesky]

Twin Towers are back!

[Crookshanks]

Gooden and Duncan together - which one do they double-team? Pick your poison Mavs!

[Budkin]

Nice to see points out there coming from Drew... takes a lot of pressure off Tim and Tony.

[Creation88]

i loved how Gooden just took it strong. that was BA.

[Spursfan092120]

Yep..think I'm gonna get that Rolling Rock...

[Danny.Zhu]

Gooden!

[Borosai]

Wow, Gooden only has one setting: Attack. As long as he's scoring, that's good, but it's still dangerous.

[Manufan909]

c'mon Timmy time!

It's Drizzle time, baby!!!!!!

[NewJerSpur]

That 3rd foul on Dirk was ticky tack IMO, but nevertheless....Dallas is getting punked in the paint with no relief in site like Phoenix was last year in Round 1.

[Rummpd]

wow, what an asskicking. jesus

one team came to play the other didnt


The better team came to play! Even sans Manu the Spurs far superior to the soft Mavs.

[itzsoweezee]

glad to see i was so right about duncan and gooden playing together. knew it would cause big problems for the mavs. bonner who?

[Ice009]

Excellent Pop is listening Dirk can't guard both Duncan and Gooden.

[JohnnySixString]

Good progress so far. Everyone cross your fingers that the Spurs don't pull their usual "we have a nice lead" shit.

[Supergirl]

yeah Im loving Gooden so far. He keeps playing like this, we can win our 5th championship.

Mason as our back up PG still makes me nervous. He had a couple dicey moments out there but he's holding on.

[Bob Lanier]

Drew Gooden is the best true big man Tim Duncan has ever played with.

[Danny.Zhu]

what a pity
If gooden can keep it like that and Manu is still there
we can have a good chance to beat LA

[bigdog]

This is beautiful. Now, get Georgie out there!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

yeah Im loving Gooden so far. He keeps playing like this, we can win our 5th championship.

Mason as our back up PG still makes me nervous. He had a couple dicey moments out there but he's holding on.

The offense went to an instant halt once Mason moved to PG and Parker sat. The key to the backup lineup is just get gooden the ball and hope to god he makes his shots.

So far, it's working.

[Creation88]

Drew Gooden is the best true big man Tim Duncan has ever played with.

his name is David Robinson.

[Supergirl]

JJ Barea is good but he's no Devin Harris, and Kidd looks old out there.

[Manufan909]

Wow, Gooden only has one setting: Attack. As long as he's scoring, that's good, but it's still dangerous.

You want him to have a pussy setting? Or a pass up a high % shot setting??? Cuz he plays so close to the basket, every shot is high %, except his fadeaway jay.:hat

[Spursfan092120]

The better team came to play! Even sans Manu the Spurs far superior to the soft Mavs.
please don't jinx us..shit..Dallas has some REALLY clutch streak shooters...last thing we need to do is test the basketball gods.

[Whisky Dog]

Anytime Barea is on Parker, Parker should abuse him.

Anytime anyone not named Dampier is on Gooden, feed Gooden and let him abuse them.

The double teams will start coming in the paint and everything will open up. Smart game plan so far.

[lurker23]

Drew Gooden is the best true big man Tim Duncan has ever played with.

You don't consider David Robinson a true big man?

[sexinthatsx]

wow gooden is such a BEAST!

[Libri]

Drew Gooden is the best true big man Tim Duncan has ever played with.

DRob

[BlackSwordsMan]

parkers trade value going up!

[Spursfan092120]

Drew Gooden is the best true big man Tim Duncan has ever played with.
::flabbergasted:: Tim played with David, dude..

[GooberNuts]

Good progress so far. Everyone cross your fingers that the Spurs don't pull their usual "we have a nice lead" shit.

Yea they better not get complacent and lose it going into halftime

[Supergirl]

Who was it who thought Bowen wouldn't play in the playoffs? LOL

[Crookshanks]

Drew Gooden is the best true big man Tim Duncan has ever played with.
Ahem... you ever hear of a guy they called the Admiral? :lol

[BWS-1994]

Wow, Gooden only has one setting: Attack. As long as he's scoring, that's good, but it's still dangerous.

I still prefer him finishing than creating his own shot. But I'll take what he's doing now :toast



Mason as our back up PG still makes me nervous. He had a couple dicey moments out there but he's holding on.

Hope Pop brings in George Hill.

[stéphane]

Carlisle getting outcoached and Mavs pass up open shots. If it could continue like that would be good.

[BUMP]

can somebody please get pissed off and make a play

[Spursfan092120]

Timmay...

[BWS-1994]

Tiimy playing at the top of the key more often tonight.

[Spursfan092120]

Come on guys..defense..

[spursfan1000]

Lets go spurs!

[Bob Lanier]

You don't consider David Robinson a true big man?
No more than I do Dirk.

[Spursfan092120]

Sit Bonner back down...come on...

[spursfan1000]

Nice try Barea.

[BUMP]

BS.

They called that on Dirk earlier

[Texas_Ranger]

fucking barea flops all the time!

[BWS-1994]

Tony gets away with one on Barea lol

[Banzai]

offensive?

[Spursfan092120]

Wow...Dallas really trying to get feisty.

[peskypesky]

drew gooden is the best true big man tim duncan has ever played with.

stfu

[JohnnySixString]

Sit Bonner back down...come on...

Bonner's in and instantly they drop a step.:lol

[BUMP]

wait why are the Spurs whining?

[TDomination]

fin dog

[KSeal]

LMAO @ Cuban, sit down.

[BWS-1994]

Keep it up Fin!

[Spursfan092120]

Fin Dog still hittin

[peskypesky]

Finley!

[TDomination]

what kind of crap was that

[Bender]

Good progress so far. Everyone cross your fingers that the Spurs don't pull their usual "we have a nice lead" shit.

yeah, the infamous 3rd QTR meltdown...

[BWS-1994]

Bass gets the circus shot.

[phxspurfan]

Must all my fantasy players go 0-4 today?

[peskypesky]

Tim taking it Dampier!!

[Spursfan092120]

Nice one Timmy!

[BUMP]

put Bass on duncan

[JohnnySixString]

It went in because Bonner was defending it. Why isn't Bonner out working the parking lot or somethng.

[Spursfan092120]

Can we just make Bonner foul out or something?

[spursfan1000]

Seriously Bonner? try to play defense without fouling.

[BWS-1994]

Bonner for his 3rd foul...

[peskypesky]

Tim looks healthy as all get-out!

[timtonymanu]

god Bonner's annoying.

[Spursfan092120]

Bonner out...nice.

[Chieflion]

Bass is keeping the Mavs in the game with those fluke shots.

[Spursfan092120]

Bass travels..no call

[TDomination]

dang bass doing good

[BUMP]

the Basshole!

[Supergirl]

Bass making circus shots he won't continue to make.

BRING IN KT!

[KSeal]

Bass>Dirk

[peskypesky]

Bass looking damn good. :(

[Texas_Ranger]

Omg...

[BWS-1994]

Bass now in rythm...

[Spursfan092120]

Tony was fouled..no call.

[peskypesky]

Parker fouled, No call.

[BUMP]

lol thats not a foul Tony

[Spursfan092120]

Come on defense.

[peskypesky]

Dallas on a run. :(

Thanks to a bunch of bad calls.

[spursfan1000]

great the lead is cut down to 6... :flag: we got this.

[Libri]

Spurs timeout after a Terry 3

[JohnnySixString]

:bang...and here it goes.....

[Crookshanks]

Time out! Come on guys - keep the foot on their throat.

[Spursfan092120]

Come on guys...shit..Dirk's out..we should be up 16 by now.

[BWS-1994]

No foul according to the replay...

I thought Terry was going to "spread his wings" after that jumper... lol

[Spursfan092120]

Put Gooden back in...

[KSeal]

Time out! Come on guys - keep the foot on their throat.

This is hard for old teams.

[BUMP]

Terry!!!

[Danny.Zhu]

Dirk is not killing us...
Jet is not killing us...
Bass is killing us...

[Spursfan092120]

No foul according to the replay...

I thought Terry was going to "spread his wings" after that jumper... lol
not on the road and still down by 6..that wouldn't be smart.

[Ice009]

Spurs playing piss poor now. parker is not finishing too well at all.

Bass has kept them in the game. Stupid of Pop to even try Bonner on him.

Was that last shot a 2 or 3 from Terry? It looked like a 2 to me.

[Creation88]

need to weather the storm and take it to them inside without dirk in there. c'mon hold it together guys.

the refs are letting them play out there. only 9FTs all game total.

[Sportstudi]

offensive?

Definitely. I mean, the Spurs are playing better, true.

But the refs are just a joke. Same with the ones on Dirk. During the season not all refs would have called the one on Gooden. But in comparison the his two offensive "fouls" this one was the most legit one. Recently Bowen held Terry. But it's Bowen, he's allowed to do everything, you know...

[dolacheck]

There have been sooo many blown calls already, im scared for the rest of the series!

[Bob Lanier]

God, I haven't missed Rick Carlisle's coaching.

He's a firm believer in the principle that you don't take your timeouts with you, so you should use them early and often.

[NewJerSpur]

No foul according to the replay...

I thought Terry was going to "spread his wings" after that jumper... lol

He only does that when they are winning, in frontrunner fashion.

[Spursfan092120]

This is hard for old teams.
We're not that old anymore dude..we have youth now.

[Creation88]

our best weapon right now is for Bonner to continue to be in foul trouble.

[Budkin]

Man Brandon Bass is killing us...

[Crookshanks]

Definitely. I mean, the Spurs are playing better, true.

But the refs are just a joke. Same with the ones on Dirk. During the season not all refs would have called the one on Gooden. But in comparison the his two offensive "fouls" this one was the most legit one. Recently Bowen held Terry. Bu it's Bowen, he's allowed to do everything, you know...
Oh shut up!

[BUMP]

refs have been good so far

[NewJerSpur]

Definitely. I mean, the Spurs are playing better, true.

But the refs are just a joke. Same with the ones on Dirk. During the season not all refs would have called the one on Gooden. But in comparison the his two offensive "fouls" this one was the most legit one. Recently Bowen held Terry. But it's Bowen, he's allowed to do everything, you know...

The charge on Finley was a foul. The 3rd one was ticky tack.

[Spursfan092120]

Come on Tim..damn.

[peskypesky]

Duncan needs to dunk that shit.

[Spursfan092120]

Nice one Tony.

[peskypesky]

Parker DESTROYING Kidd

[Libri]

TP taking it to Kidd

[Spursfan092120]

Duncan needs to dunk that shit.
would have been blocked.

[peskypesky]

6pt game :(

[BWS-1994]

Tony beats the buzzer!

[Spursfan092120]

Tony..hell yeah..

[peskypesky]

would have been blocked.

oh, so i guess it's better that he missed it then

[BUMP]

Gotcha Timmy, lol

[Spursfan092120]

Damnit Tim...we had the possession and you give it back..come on dude.

[BWS-1994]

First Bass, now Howard...

[Spursfan092120]

oh, so i guess it's better that he missed it then
like he knew he'd miss a 1 ft jumper.

[peskypesky]

Dallas hitting EVERYTHING now

[ducks]

tp has to finish better

[Spursfan092120]

Damn Mike...giving them free throws...shit.

[BUMP]

its good to see that as much as TP has raped Kidd, Kidd is atleast attempting to make him work on the other end

[Spursfan092120]

Alright Spurs..settle down..bring the ball down, call a play, and get the bucket.

[Creation88]

we squandered the league on at least 3 miracle shots by Bass and Howard.

[BUMP]

Hollins in the game

[Libri]

4 pt Spurs lead

[Crookshanks]

That's only our 2nd turnover. Man, the Mavs are getting warmed up - glad it's almost halftime.

[Spursfan092120]

Gooden back in.

[peskypesky]

like he knew he'd miss a 1 ft jumper.

like i said, you're right. when tim has the ball 1ft from the basket, he should put up a soft shot rather than dunk it. makes it more exciting for the fans because of the greater probability that he will miss.

[Danny.Zhu]

Dallas Jumper Mavs is back...

[Spursfan092120]

Damn!!

[BUMP]

great D!

[BWS-1994]

lol @ Hollins

[peskypesky]

the Spurs doing what they do so well...building up a big lead, then blowing it.

[BUMP]

Hollins you and your giraffe legs! lol

[TDomination]

i don't like the lead slowly diminishing. not a good sign

[spursfan1000]

lets try and get an easy basket spurs before ending the 1st half.
