Spurs vs. Mavs - 2009 First Round Game 1

[td4mvp21]

And let just say, only having 10 free throw attempts for as much contact as there was and how much we drove inside is fucking bullshit, fuck the officiating.

[MacGyver]

Parker ran out of gas in the 2nd half...

[Hemotivo]

Tony is exhausted

[jag]

Tony is tired as shit. He just looks worn out.

[BWS-1994]

Mason on Dirk in the last minutes... no sign of Bowen... WTF?!

[phxspurfan]

Spurs body language...have already given up

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Do you belive me no RUFF? Pop has been silly all season. WHen Pop makes a good move he follows it up with a totally stupid move.

Not all season, just the last 6 weeks or so.

[Danny.Zhu]

We're done.

[Hemotivo]

wow MFINLEY!

[sammy]

Can you believe he's bringing that fucking Bonner back in! I can't believe this shit!

[KenGee21]

Spurs need to fire their scouts if this was the strategy going into this game...

[timtonymanu]

a little too late, but thanks Fin.

[024]

give the ball to finley and gtfo of his way.

[peskypesky]

hahaha. Is the Duncan era really going to end against a pathetic team like the Mavs? How embarrassing San Antonio.

you're telling me. hey, d'you think the Lakers would be interested in trading coaches?

[Mugen]

looks like this shit is going 7.

i hope.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Pop should be playing George some to give TP more rest... anyone?

[NewJerSpur]

hahaha. Is the Duncan era really going to end against a pathetic team like the Mavs? How embarrassing San Antonio.

You act as if he's retiring after this season. :td

[Texas_Ranger]

Pop you are fucking stupid!!:madrun I can't believe what the fuck is he doing...

[spursfan1000]

I can't believe the Spurs lost a lead once again. This is really getting annoying.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Why don't try Oberto, I'm 100% sure he can be better than Bonner

Pop is too stupid to remember Oberto.

[kamikazi_player]

What does Pop see in Bonner, he has no potential, no athleticism, and is scared shitless on the court. He needs to be a Bench Warmer.

[benefactor]

Small ball.....:depressed

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

There haven't been many playoff upsets in recent years - this year will be a year of upsets, especially in the West.

[Crookshanks]

Pathetic effort from the Spurs. They just quit playing in the 2nd quarter and fell apart. I'm so pissed at Pop - I could cuss like balli! Bonner needs to fall down the stairs and break his leg. Then maybe Pop will consider sitting him!

[boutons_deux]

Mavs steal Spurs' only HCA

[Roxsfan]

so much for HCA by winning the division. Come back manu:depressed

[poop]

we cant do anything if Pop is intent on fucking screwing this team over.

[BUMP]

No, he's done a great job on Tim in the 2nd half. To get his points, Tim has had to hit 2 drop step hooks from 10 feet on the right, and 3 bankers with a hand in his face from the left. He hasn't had any easy points.

idk dude

Duncan seems like your only offense really. he has 27 so far, all Dampier does is push. I guess when the refs dont wanna call it, its good defense :lol

[Ice009]

Tony is tired as shit. He just looks worn out.

He looks worn out.

I'm disappointed in Tony's game tonight though.

[peskypesky]

you know what really fucking pisses me off? pop and others will say that we lost because we had no manu, when it's crystal clear that we lost because Pop decided to keep playing POS Bonner instead of Gooden.

[lefty]

I might start rooting for the Lakers

Because it's frustrating when Pop is giving games away to rivals with stupid decisions, and then you can't do nothing about it.

KFC wouldn't have done that tonight

[VaSpursFan]

bonner and fin should not play again this series. bonner can't handle the pressure and j.how will continue to light fin up

[Quiet Strength]

Pop should be playing George some to give TP more rest... anyone?

Yeah I agree. Mason being the backup pg is not working. Hill is much better at pg and a better defender.

[sammy]

We are down 7 and he brings Bonner back in! WTF! Jackass Pop! Sick of him everyone not questioning his stupid decisions, but what kind of shit is this! He keeps Gooden on the bench and brings Bonner in!

[Ice009]

Not all season, just the last 6 weeks or so.

OK, fair call Ruff, fair call man. I'm still not giving up, but Pop has got to smarten up.

[spursfan1000]

First POP messed up with Vaughn now hes messing up with Bonner, Bonner is no more than was he was last year... a scrub!

[peskypesky]

What does Pop see in Bonner, he has no potential, no athleticism, and is scared shitless on the court. He needs to be a Bench Warmer.

maybe it's a race thing?

[kamikazi_player]

Game, set, and match

[BWS-1994]

Damn... Bass...

[Libri]

Bass nailing the coffin

[Johnny RIngo]

Pop would rather burn Parker out than play Hill.

Dumb bastard.

Yup. With Manu out for the playoffs, Spurs need Hill's athleticism.

[NewJerSpur]

He looks worn out.

I'm disappointed in Tony's game tonight though.

Agreed on both counts.

[Texas_Ranger]

Gooden is like 300000 times better than Bonner and Pop still plays that fuck... Pathetic

[lefty]

What does Pop see in Bonner, he has no potential, no athleticism, and is scared shitless on the court. He needs to be a Bench Warmer.

Portland plays at the slowest pace in the NBA, Hubie.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I can't believe the Spurs lost a lead once again. This is really getting annoying.

Same song, second verse.

[spursfan1000]

Atleast we have home court advantage so we will have 1 more chance at home than Dallas then they will. It's not like its impossible for the Spurs to go win in Dallas. :flag:

[BUMP]

im not trash talking but this series will most likely be a sweep if Barea can somehow neutralize Parker because Duncan is all u guys have left on offense and who knows if his knees will hold up

[boutons_deux]

Mavs were so much better, it's sad.

[Darthkiller]

[dirk4mvp]

uh


lol

[IronMexican]

Woo!

[bless1187]

after today's game i'm officially convinced the bonner is getting a free pass from pop to getting minutes.... with his absolute SHIT performance, he still ends up getting more playing time than both gooden and thomas, if he wasn't in foul trouble in the 1st half, he would probably have gotten 30 min again. WTF is wrong with pop in playing this big scrub.

[phxspurfan]

Every bounce going Dallas' way...

[poop]

pop is drunk

[peskypesky]

I don't know why I thought we could ever have a chance to win again after Pop's idiotic coaching against the Lakers last year. I guess our victory over the Cavs in '07 made me think he'd learned from his mistakes against the Mavs in '06.

But this makes three Spurs seasons that are going to end early because of his fucking stupid ass!

[Ice009]

idk dude

Duncan seems like your only offense really. he has 27 so far, all Dampier does is push. I guess when the refs dont wanna call it, its good defense :lol

Tim is by far the Spurs best player. I am disappointed in Tony tonight, but I do realize he is out of gas.

We just have no offensive players with out Manu. Seriously I think Manu would have scored 50 if Barea was guarding him tonight.

That's no an excuse either Dallas fans. You guys have outplayed us tonight for sure. I just think we definitely would have done better had we had another offensive option.

[sammy]

They are going to lose! Thanks Pop! Thanks Bonner you worthless piece of shit! Thanks Parker for giving up and being absent when we needed you most! FUCK!

[TampaDude]

you know what really fucking pisses me off? pop and others will say that we lost because we had no manu, when it's crystal clear that we lost because Pop decided to keep playing POS Bonner instead of Gooden.

+1 Every time I saw Bonner in the 4th, I wanted to reach thru the TV and strangle Pop.

Mavs will sweep.

[Johnny RIngo]

What does Pop see in Bonner, he has no potential, no athleticism, and is scared shitless on the court. He needs to be a Bench Warmer.

He shoots 3s. Pop's in love with the three ball.

[spursfan1000]

Damn parker looked worn out, wtf POP, how long are you going to coach like this? I want the old POP back please.

[benefactor]

Frustrating....it will be a short post season if this is the game plan.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

He looks worn out.

I'm disappointed in Tony's game tonight though.

Tony shouldn't be excused at all for being tired. He's in his prime.

Tim Duncan stepped up. No excuses. These are the playoffs, the adrenaline should make him forget the regular season.

[Banzai]

game 2 will be better.

[Texas_Ranger]

:lol

[peskypesky]

It's not like its impossible for the Spurs to go win in Dallas. :flag:

Especially if we make sure to give Bonner big minutes.

Tim with only one free throw

Spurs are 91 % from beyond the arc and loss a game !!!????

[Budkin]

Damn I thought we had this game with the way we started.... props to the Mavs even though I hate them.

[Amarelooms]

Finley with these BS 3's...what a douche bag :elephant

[spursfan1000]

The only upside to this is that we nearly won a championship every year we lost the 1st game of the playoffs. Oh well the Mavs got away with an upset.

[BUMP]

just taking care of business as usual in the AAC South :lol

Pop didn't give any respect to Barea and Barea made Tony work for it and didn't give Tony a blow in the second half.

It's a pity that Mason's and Finley's lights-fucking-out 3-point shooting tonight was wasted...way to go, Pop... :bang

Pop must have some wine auctions he wants to get to.

60 points in the seconds half...Great defense Spurs, great

Yeah and we were doing pretty good in the paint also.

[IronMexican]

SA wont shoot 10/11 from 3 anymore.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ice, we didn't lose this on offense - we lost it on 60 2nd half points and too many Dallas O-bards.

S'OK, we ALWAYS lose the first game of the playoffs! :lol :oops

game 2 will be better.

It'll only be better if Pop smartens up.

two things MUST BE DONE GAME TWO.

1. Bench Bonner give him some minutes off the bench, but if he's playing poorly yank him.

2. George Hill at back up PG for defense and tell him to attack on offense. move Mason Jr back to shooting guard full time.

Gotta make those two moves.

[poop]

no hill. little bowen. lots of bonner.

[loveforthegame]

Finley needs to shoot more. WTF.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

It's a pity that Mason's and Finley's lights-fucking-out 3-point shooting tonight was wasted...way to go, Pop... :bang

Too little too late. They could have at least tried to show up at the right moment in the second half slump.

Everyone but Duncan showed up to play the playoffs (Parker played half well and half crappy)

[samikeyp]

Didn't Dallas shoot like 60% in the second half?


Crazy. Good game Mavs. See you in Game 2. :toast

[JohnnySixString]

Same Spurs. Same shit. Same results.

[Texas_Ranger]

Now Bonner and Pop can go fuck together

[Ice009]

Well Mavs fans. Good win. You guys played hard.

[lurker]

Thank you, JJB and Bass.

[Hemotivo]

Hill on Barea was worth a shot, at least Tony could have had some rest.

totally

[Chieflion]

Upside: Michael Finley had a great game. Duncan can still play as the team's best player.
Downside: Matt Bonner should be the Spurs' waterboy. Parker played like shit in the 2nd half.

[peskypesky]

The adjustments I really want Pop to make for Game 2:

starters:
PG Bonner
SG Oberto
SF Kurt Thomas
PF George Hill
C Jacque Vaughn

[poop]

carlisle >>>> popovich

[Quiet Strength]

Thank you, JJB and Bass.

Thank pop too.. and bonner... and vaughn for just being on the spurs bench.

[IronMexican]

This bitch can interview a lot better than that one who interviewed Rose.

Why is it that Dirk is almost always the most intelligent-sounding interview in a foreign league?

[quickerblade]

all those fucken 3's swished and still lose, WTF?????

im not gonna make fun of the Spurs to much cause they are without a key player, but if Barea can somewhat neutralize Parker like he did tonight, there's no way this isnt a sweep

l8r

[sammy]

There is no excuse for TP to being tired! Give me a break! He's younger than all of them and Timmy came to play with injured knees and all! Parker simply gave up and let that fucking Barea bitch school him! WTF! Bonner also contributed to the loss with fucking Pop who continues to play this worthless jackass! Why not play Hill and Oberto! This is so ridiculous! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

+1 This will be a sweep, and Game 4 in Dallas will be a 25+ point blowout.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Amazing. We gave up offensive rebounds while playing big. Not a good sign. I look at it as effort.
No excuse for us to give up offensive rebounds while getting none, when we are playing big.
Then pop's plan for getting us out of a jam is going small.
Result: more offensive rebounds for dallas.

Offensive Rebounds and JJ Barea's penetration lost us this game.

I am very dissapointed in Tony Parker. When we started to let the game slip in the early 4th quarter, he started forcing the issue, and was the one mostly guarding Barea when he went awol. When he forced the issue, he clanked every time, and the offense became very disjointed.

We needed parker to play like a superstar. Tonight, he was only a star.
Duncan's magic kept this from being a blowout.

Amazing he never got to the line, against dallas, at home.

[ducks]

I think tp was agressive then got ticked he was not getting called for the fouls

[Ice009]

carlisle >>>> popovich

He looks better than AJ too. He's really stabilizing that Mavs team and has them playing cool.

Shit you know what. Maybe Pop has been talking to Avery. I hope he is not getting advise from AJ.

[alchemist]

Dallas bench worked the Spurs, this is gonna get ugly if we don't get anything from someone other than Timmy/Tony....

Why not play Hill and Oberto! This is so ridiculous! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

Really? He's been singlehandedly carrying the team for about 6 weeks... :rolleyes

Parker did NOT give up, and in saying that you show that you are not a Spurs fan. Anyone who says the players "gave up" is not a fan of this team.

We lost this game on D and the boards, we were outplayed in the 4th, suck it up and deal with it.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

JJ Barrea is good because he's so little. He is so tiny, that a normal players offensive moves are offensive fouls against him.

[Quiet Strength]

oh, i can definitely see this being a sweep. with pop coaching like this, he's practically guaranteeing it.

I dont agree about dallas sweeping the spurs but with the way pop coached this game.. if he continues coaching like that the rest of this series then the spurs will have no chance to win the series.

[SpursFan0728]

Bad lost.

I am piss not because we lost, but that we could have won and we just gave it away.

[Johnny RIngo]

Agreed. At least Carlisle plays his back-up point.

5 of 5 from three. Michael Finley. Finley put in his best game of the entire year and the Spurs still lost.

[jiggy_55]

Finley -20 on the night??? Wow.. considering he was 5-5 from downtown!

[alchemist]

JJ's speed is killing the Spurs, they will need to figure out a way to slow him down or he'll end up being the "x-factor" of the series. Dare I say it? Hill on JJ?

Also, I think the 2 offensive fouls took Parker's driving abilities away, so he was less aggressive (No he didn't quit on the team as some have said.)

[VaSpursFan]

finley got abused by j.howard. so his offense wasn't enough to offset all they points he gave up to howard on the defensive end. it's all about stops in the playoffs not outscoring folks.

No one was expecting Finley to slow down Howard. All of us knew that. Pop should have switched Bowen onto Howard and Parker on Terry. Then you have Finley guarding Kidd or Terry if Parker takes Barea.

[loveforthegame]

I thought Finley did a decent job on Howard. He kept him in front of him most the time but Howard can just rise above him for the shot.

I was more suprised by how easy Finley was able to get past Howard the few times he drove to the basket.

[Budkin]

The fact is that without Manu our bench just sucks. Especially when Pop gives minutes to Bonner over Hill.

He didn't get "abused". He played him pretty aggressive. What he did was allow Josh to have the 3 point shot. I'm not sure if that was in the gameplan or what but it worked in the 1st half. Then Josh started hitting the 3's. But I had no problem with his defense. He even got a strip on Josh trying to drive in on him. Josh isn't a scrub. You aren't going to limit him to 2 points. All you can do is hope he falls in love with his jumper and keeps chucking them up.

[papashango]

I was more suprised by how easy Finley was able to get past Howard the few times he drove to the basket.

He played aggressive. He left it all out there tonight. I'm glad to see he's ready for the post season.

[Obstructed_View]

Finley's individual defense was very very good. Too bad his team defense sucked ass, and the rotations had many guys out of position.

[peskypesky]

The fact is that without Manu our bench just sucks. Especially when Pop gives minutes to Bonner over Hill.

I think our bench would be okay if it was

PG Hill
SG Finley
SF Udoka
PF Bonner
C Thomas

that's two savvy vets (Finley & Thomas), two energy guys (Hill & Udoka) and two shooters (Finley & Bonner).

they wouldn't be great, but as long as they could hold the lead...

[loveforthegame]

I never thought we'd lose with Dirk, Terry, and Kidd having subpar games.

We got beat by Barea, Bass, and Dampier.

[Spurs Brazil]

[Ice009]

Man Rockets look awesome.

I know I am not supposed to like them because of the old days and that series did hurt, but I like the make up of this Rockets team with out McGrady. They all seem to be good guys and play hard. Also, I have a soft spot for any team with a gutsy Argentinian player.

[loveforthegame]

And especially Howard

That's at least expected. He goes in the same group as Dirk, Terry, and Kidd in terms of who can hurt us. But at least Finley nearly matched Howard's output.

No one could match Barea, Bass, and Damp though.

[BUMP]

:lol

Idiot. There is no scenario, barring major injury, under which the Spurs get swept. Lose the series, yes, get swept, no, not even if your beloved Barea plays like he did tonight every night.

im not the idiot. your fellow fans agree with me.

i said if Barea can somewhat neutralize Parker like he did tonight it will be a sweep. How will it not be? Unless Tim Duncan goes for a superhuman effort every single night. Dont think your "4 rings" and championship experience alone will save you from embarassment. you still have to come to play

Disappointing loss, but hopefully the only one.

Next! :)

[spursfan09]

I was at the game last night.

My thoughts:

First of all there were alot of Mav fans. I couldn't believe it. I assume its the same in Dallas though when it comes to Spur fans. The cities are close to one another so makes sense.

Tony Parker did not bring his A game at all. He was getting to the basket really easy in the first half, but in the second half he was so tired. I'll give credit to the Mav's defense, but I didn't see anything that TP can't overcome.
He basically played the whole 3rd quarter. He looked very tired in the 4th quarter. We need him to play like a superstar if we want a chance to go deep in the playoffs.

And I don't know why, but the Mavs bring it against us. I don't know what it is, but they play like they've been the 8 time champs and ain't nobody beating them. They always bring thier A game and the Mavs that we have seen against the Warriors and Heat completly disappear. All I can do is laugh because it's just so wierd. I wonder why they choke so bad against other teams. They should kick other team's ass. They were built to beat us, but noone else?

[SpursDynasty]

There's no denying the Spurs played well, offensively at least. The key was the 9-0 (or whatever it was) run by Dallas in the 4th quarter.

Or being outscored by 7 points in the 2nd quarter, 4 in the 3rd, and 8 in the 4th, topped off by allowing the Mavs to shoot 53.8% for the game. Yikes indeed.

[pimptaddy]

dallas is going to feast on the spurs again Monday and go up 2-0. the end is near. Duncan is getting old and eve was never that pretty. I am going to be in SA with my mavs gear on. I will be the guy on the third row with the Dirk Jersey on and the sign that says "Duncan is gay".

Good point...nothing to be concerned about...

Spurs killed it from the 3 pt line
Mavs sucked from the 3 pt line
Dirk and Terry were below avg
Spurs had a big lead early
Spurs only turned it over 9 times

Yet the Mavs won easily in the end... :downspin:

I would like to see pop make a slight lineup adjustment by putting this lineup in the game to start.
TD,DG,TP,MF,RMJ. I think that would be a unstoppable lineup for the SPURS and play them almost all game...
