Spurs vs. Mavs - 2009 First Round Game 4

[Chieflion]

Pop, you suck. Any Spurs fan can be a coach.

[Spursmania]

Bonner is weak and can never be counted on to hit a big shot. What do you say now Zosa? You still kissing Bonner's ass and defending him like you always do.:nope

[Knoxxx]

Watching a soft faggot player like No-dick-ski clinch it with a driving layup, brutal.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs unable to score in crunch time, after a great comeback in first half of the 4th.

[romain.star]

the san antonio spurs season is now over
FUCK FINLEY

[Ice009]

FUCK ALL you Bonner lovers, thats what you get.

FUCK ALL YOU BONNER LOVERS TWICE. FUCK you motherfuckers twice.

[td4mvp21]

Finley for three...Clank.

[Death In June]

Let hill shoot the three, what is wrong with pop?

[Chomag]

Still chunking hurried 3's lol

[Mugen]

had every opportunity to win this game with dallas doing their usual choking but just couldnt get the effin ball to drop.

way to show up role players.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Pop fell off a cliff I don't understand this 3 bullshit

[spurscenter]

Manu plays for Argentina and rolls ankle = end of 2009 season

[SpursFan0728]

FUCK retire finley

[BUMP]

get Hollins out of there he cant make free throws but way to step up anyway young fella :toast

[Chomag]

thsi is just so painfull to watch...

[stéphane]

pathetic

[sammy]

FUCK YOU POP! You kept those two worthless asshole in and this is how you repay Timmy & TP! ASSHOLE!

[pauls931]

Pop fell off a cliff I don't understand this 3 bullshit

Guess you have a problem with Don Nelson's new voodoo doll...

[BUMP]

3-1 lead for Dallas

[me15lo]

[Chomag]

Clang! :(

[Mal]

Dallas made 6 more FT and rebound 10 more balls. Nice result but Spurs played wiht 2 players

[Death In June]

Well, there goes the season. Everyone not named Tim, Tony, Manu, Hill...get the fuck out of san antonio. That especially includes our inept coach.

[BUMP]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooo

[timtonymanu]

Mavs deserve to win this series.. their bench showed more heart than ours. Even Hollins got in Duncan's face. That's motivation right there.

Pop needs to get over himself. Cause us fans are over him.

It's been an interesting year. We managed to make the playoffs without Manu playing most of the season. Time to think about the offseason. Damn it came by so fast.

[BlackSwordsMan]

hollins > duncan

[boutons_deux]

Spurs badly outplayed again.

Maybe they can push it to 6 games, probably not.

Mavs +11 on FT pts

[Mugen]

hills going to get some mins in game 5, but too little too late.

we are gonna win game 5, but can we win game 6?

[td4mvp21]

Dallas really tried to choke this game too:lol

[jdev82]

bonner should kill himself!
BONNER SHOULD FUCKING KILL HIMSELF

[Thomas82]

Time to start thinking about the offseason.

[Chomag]

Did the Spurs even attept a 2 pointer in the last 4 minutes of the game?

[Chieflion]

Get some young promising players and rebuild. This team blows.

[Muser]

Considering it was 2 on 5, Parker and Duncan did well.

[spurscenter]

Denver/no > dallas

[45 bank shot]

hollins > duncan
ye right

[sonic21]

:pctoss:pctoss:pctoss:pctoss

[Capt Bringdown]

We had a chance in the 4th, but TP was outta steam and Bonner and Finley were doing their usual brick-laying.

With his D and offense, Hill has shown Pop to be an ass. As Reggie Miller said, "Where was this kid the first 3 games?"

[quickerblade]

Parker played like jordan, poor bastard

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

All the Spurs, Tony, Tim, included = massive choke job in the 4th quarter.

They stole the mantle from the Mavs who were letting us back in...

[dtk]

I'll Take 30+ from Parker in a half if it gasses him for the second half...

[spurscenter]

DENVER vs. CLEVLAND

mark it.

[jdev82]

SOFT ASS TEAM. TONY CANT DO SHIT IN THE 2nd HALF AND BONNER WAS STILL IN THE GAME. DUNCANS THE ONLY DECENT PLAYER ON TEH TEAM BONNER SHOULD FUCKING KILL HIMSELF. PLEASE GOD MAKE BONNER HANG HIMSELF TONIGHT

[VaSpursFan]

outside of hill and gooden, we have the worst bench ever

[Ice009]

the san antonio spurs season is now over
FUCK FINLEY

It's not over. Win game 5 and have another shot at them in game 6. Going out any earlier is unacceptable.

[alchemist]

right now watching anything Ginobili related (commercials/pictures) really pisses the fuck off, I think they should keep him off tv until next season. :bang

[Quiet Strength]

Seriously fuck you pathetic fans.. its not over until its over. :flag:

[SpursDynasty]

Not too disappointed with this game. We're down 3-1 but we've been in this position before. Spurs played well this game, Dallas just got a couple of more shots to go down.

It's a best of 7 series, not a best of 5. I say ban everyone who even mentions the offseason or that we're done when we haven't lost 4 games yet. Losers.

[Amarelooms]

Denver/no > dallas

Haha you are a loser

[Death In June]

Duncan playing on two bad knees out played the entire team, except for Tony, who scores 43 times what the bench did. That's not an exxageration either, I don't think our bench scored.

[TampaDude]

The 3rd quarter did the Spurs in, again...there's something about the 3rd quarter...the Spurs can be leading at halftime, then throw it all away in the 3rd quarter...I don't know why they keep doing it, but they better fix it...but that's for next season...this one is over.

Like I said before...no Manu = no chance.

[Horse]

Pop is fucking senile more than 2 minutes left down by 5 and he goes desperation 3? These are the games we've always won just playing D for 2 minutes getting to the line. I'm a huge Pop supporter but bring on avery he's lost this team fuck Pop. However I love what I'm seeing from Hill who should've got some more pt. Please, please put bonner in the fucking trash. Was he ever a starter c'mon. Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bonner needs to be cut. I don't know how we won a championship with this guy on our roster.

[Chomag]

We had a chance in the 4th, but TP was outta steam and Bonner and Finley were doing their usual brick-laying.

With his D and offense, Hill has shown Pop to be an ass. As Reggie Miller said, "Where was this kid the first 3 games?"

Ha ha! Yep, about time someone inside the media question Pop about that. I'm not a Miller fan but at least he showed soem Balls there.

[Cherry]

Manu plays for Argentina and rolls ankle = end of 2009 season

:dramaquee

how about the rest of the team? :huddle:

[Mugen]

agreed about our horrible bench.

our superstars have outplayed their so called superstars this series but their bench has played a lot better.

i think we can win game 5 but can we win game 6?

if any team can choke away a 3-1 lead its the mavs.

plus no manu to foul and screw up our game 7, haha.

[boutons_deux]

2 Spurs in double figures. fucking pathetic.

[45 bank shot]

if the coaching staff and the FO don't wake the fuck up during the offseason
we'll never be elite again

[Ice009]

The 3rd quarter did the Spurs in, again...there's something about the 3rd quarter...the Spurs can be leading at halftime, then throw it all away in the 3rd quarter...I don't know why they keep doing it, but they better fix it...but that's for next season...this one is over.

Like I said before...no Manu = no chance.

Josh Howard had 14 points I think it was in the 3rd quarter. Howard is usually the one that goes off. Bowen needs to guard him next time in Dallas. We WILL WIN GAME 5.

[Chomag]

All I want to know was if there was a legit reason Bonner and Finely played the whole 4th?

[Horse]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooo
Oh be happy you beat a very unhealthy team. Refs shitty as ever. The mavs still suck we just suck more without Manu. If you want someone to thank Thank our stupid fucking coach!

[hitmanyr2k]

With his D and offense, Hill has shown Pop to be an ass. As Reggie Miller said, "Where was this kid the first 3 games?"

Some of us were asking that same thing the last few months. But, like the Popovich homers will say..."4 rings" :lol 4 rings is always the excuse for not developing your young talent and keeping them rotting on the pine.

[justinandimcool]

It ain't over til it's over. Hill and Bowen just need to repeat these solid performances. And you know how badly TP and TD want to play well facing elim.

And:

Bonner
Finley
Gooden
Mason
Udoka


^ ANY one of the above needs to not play like total garbage.


One game at a time. Might as well go down fighting.

[Death In June]

Will the media finally grow a pair and ask Pop what the fuck he's thinking?

[JohnnySixString]

It's like watching a three-legged dog with a limp trying to run away. Yeah, sure it's moving, but you know it's not going far. That's been the Spurs this entire fucking season. Put this lame ass team out of it's misery.

For the next and probably last game, Duncan and Parker should look like this...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/reaper_chevelle/340x.jpg

THEIR SEASON IS OVER.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Our bench is terrible. I don't see anything good for our bench in the future either....

[sammy]

Thank you Pop! You stubborn asshole who kept Bruce on the bench when we needed him in 4th! Fucking bastard!

[boutons_deux]

3 Spurs starters with a total of 12 pts

[Knoxxx]

Our best 5?:

Parker
Hill
Bowen
Duncan
Gooden

[Borosai]

Nice call regarding Hill, Pop.

[TampaDude]

If the Mavs do eliminate the Spurs, the Mavs will make it to the Finals, where they will lose badly to the Eastern Conference Champion (most likely the Cavs). It's a lock.

[Death In June]

Bonner, 22 minutes, one rebound, no points, and missed the potential game altering shot.

[WildcardManu]

I've waited all regular season for the playoffs and then to get performances like these. Thank you Manu, fuck ARGENTINA.

[RobSM64]

It ain't over 'till it's over.

Relax Guys

[45 bank shot]

i dun care what y'all say
this loss is on pop.
hez stupid enough to let mason play PG at the end of 1st to lose the 9 point lead
n itz him to keep playin finley in the 3rd n giving 13 points or something to Josh Howard
he finally started to lighten up a bit when he played hill but he kept Matt the choker Bonner and Michael the brick machine Finley on the court at the same time.
i dun care that Finley had a baseline dunk cuz hez playin like a granny

[NRHector]

Bonner needs to be cut. I don't know how we won a championship with this guy on our roster.

because he was on the bench

[Chomag]

Our best 5?:

Parker
Hill
Bowen
Duncan
Gooden

This was what I wanted to see end the 4th with. No, instead Pop insists on having Bonner and Finely out there to force up bad 3's

[nhan]

Where the fuck was Roger Mason at the end of the game, Pop? He's our clutchest and best 3-Point shooter and you bench him? How many clutch plays has he had this season? You play Matt Bonner? What the hell was with this coaching!!! 3-Point plays with 2 minutes still left to go? You gotta be kidding me. Pop thinks hes too smart for obvious fucking moves like benching Bonner or playing Roger Mason. I can't believe it. The only players who the Spurs need to keep this offseason are Parker, Duncan, Manu, Mason, Hill, and Gooden. Everyone else can go. It's ridiculous.

With all that said, maybe if some players can hit OPEN shots, we can still win this one.

And playing George Hill this late in the series is just pathetic. George Hill matches up perfectly with Dallas. Long-wingspan that can defend those two-guards like Barea perfectly with Parker still in the game. I just can't believe Pop. Bonner missed at least two 3's at the end of the game, and that bone-headed foul. And there was multiple times throughout the game, when he thought he was Dirk and did a step back two. Like honestly?

[NRHector]

this one is not on Pop, is on fucken Finley, Bonner and Mason, they had no fucken offense

[Death In June]

It ain't over 'till it's over.

Relax GuysIt's over. What makes you think Pop is going to change the very last game of the season? He has been a shit coach the entire year. Bonner is what he is, a scrub. So is Finely, so is Udoka, so is Oberto, KT, and JV. That's almost the entire team. As great as Tim and Tony are, they can't carry these guys. Not when Duncan is injured and Tony is exhausted. Our big three mask just how terrible these guys are, because we do have an amazing trio of players. Bruce is great, but he's not a scorer, and we lost our come from behind threat in Horry. Mason shows flashes, but he's being misused and sucks ass coming off the bench. This series is over. If the spurs come back and win, I'll happily eat crow, be called a bandwagon fan, or whatever. But it's not happening.

[Ozzy]

Nice call regarding Hill, Pop.


Bullshit. That was just a desperation move. Turned out great, yes, but it really seemed like Pop pulled that what one out just because he had no idea what else to do.

[timaios]

Spurs with Parker 41'12 = +7
Spurs without Parker 6'48 = -16

[txallstar]

it shouldn't even come down to manu being in, shit, thanks mason. bonner-nothing needs to be said and finley fuck, if he wouldn't hit a couple of crucial shots here and there, there wouldn't be any legit reason to keep him a game. it's a catch 22 with his ass.

probably is spurs are made up of tim/tony and 2nd-3rd tier guys

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Outside of TP and TD and Bowen everyone played like shit. Hill had a nice couple of baskets but Mason, Ime, Bonner, Thomas, and Gooden all sucked ass.....

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Next year if we don't clean house......

[nhan]

this one is not on Pop, is on fucken Finley, Bonner and Mason, they had no fucken offense

Pop should've never had Bonner in the game. And I'm pretty sure Bonner or Finely didn't take those 3's because they felt like it, but rather Pop wanted a 3 on that particular play with plenty of time still remaining. Mason should've been in the game in the last few minutes. He's been clutch all season-long, but when it comes to the playoffs, you bench him during clutch time. Doesn't make sense at all. It seems like Pop punishes his best players and applauds his worst players by putting Bonner and Finely in and taking Bowen and Mason out.

[Horse]

That 3-point 2 minute drill was the dumbest thing I've ever seen from a pro coach. Is he tired does he want to go home?

[Quiet Strength]

Where the fuck was Roger Mason at the end of the game, Pop? He's our clutchest and best 3-Point shooter and you bench him? How many clutch plays has he had this season? You play Matt Bonner? What the hell was with this coaching!!! 3-Point plays with 2 minutes still left to go? You gotta be kidding me. Pop thinks hes too smart for obvious fucking moves like benching Bonner or playing Roger Mason. I can't believe it. The only players who the Spurs need to keep this offseason are Parker, Duncan, Manu, Mason, Hill, and Gooden. Everyone else can go. It's ridiculous.

With all that said, maybe if some players can hit OPEN shots, we can still win this one.

And playing George Hill this late in the series is just pathetic. George Hill matches up perfectly with Dallas. Long-wingspan that can defend those two-guards like Barea perfectly with Parker still in the game. I just can't believe Pop. Bonner missed at least two 3's at the end of the game, and that bone-headed foul. And there was multiple times throughout the game, when he thought he was Dirk and did a step back two. Like honestly?

Mason is just horrible now... He cant shoot and he cant play defense. Him playing backup pg has been such a huge mistake from pop and it has totally taken him out of his game. Its too late to get him back to playing how he used to so in my opinion spurs should just keep him on the bench and give hill and bowen his minutes.

[ManuTP9]

fucking shit i didnt even see the game i was at work

[Dramon]

You guys are retarded. Quit whining about our bench. Just because we don't have a bench with Manu on it anymore, doesn't mean it sucks and is the ONLY reason we lost. New Orleans has a crappy bench if you want examples of what one looks like. It's not the bench's fault Tim Duncan missed so many free throws.

I do think we went for the 3-pointers way too soon near the end but if you really look past that we lost for the following reasons.

1) Parker missed both of his free throws after his steal with a few minutes left.

2) On Finley's first 3-pointer around a minute or so, Tim Duncan was WIDE OPEN under the basket but Finley shot it anyways. You could actually see Tim Duncan stand there with his arms out in disbelief instead of trying to go for the rebound.

3) AS A TEAM, we did a horrible job of getting back on defense after the 3-point misses. It was as if missing those 3's caused the team to lose hope when they still had the game if they would have just gotten a few more stops. Instead, they play halfhearted D and let the Mavs dominate them on Defense.

You can complain all you want about our offensive shortcomings in the end, but honestly our Defense in the last 3 minutes cost us more than all the missed 3's we had.

[myconsumerclub]

Weak teams don't get past the first round. Silly spurts fans D!cks are for Chicks

[TampaDude]

Weak teams don't win Championships. Silly Brokebacks fans D!cks are for Chicks

[allnines]

The things I'll miss the most about the 2009 season after the Spurs are eliminated:

1. Timmy's incredulous, disbelieving, astounded expressions when the officials have the audacity to call a foul on him.

2. Cut-away shots of poor Manu on the bench.

3. Watching Finley not play defense.

4. Bonner's bricks.

[it's me]

Spurs with Parker 41'12 = +7
Spurs without Parker 6'48 = -16

so are +/- important????

[mytespurs]

The Spurs are on life support......and it's not looking good. Don't know if they can overcome this deficit.......:(

[donglo]

Who is this dude Matt Boner? How is he starting for an NBA playoff team? He looks like Herman Munster (without the moves.)

[TampaDude]

Who is this dude Matt Boner? How is he starting for an NBA playoff team? He looks like Herman Munster (without the moves.)

Yeah...you're a troll....but I actually agree with you...Bonner needs to go back to the bench...WAY back...Hill FTW!!! :hat

[HempHead24]

All I can say is shit happens. At least now all the bandwagoners jumped ship and there's always next year. Even if the mavs manage to finish us off I HEAVILLY doubt they'll get past round 2. But then again this seasons been full of suprises.

[MadDog73]

I'll root for any team that can beat the Lakers.

Even if it is the Mavs....

I came to the sad realization during game 3 that I hate the Lakers, more than I love the Spurs.

That's just fucking wrong!

[Obstructed_View]

I'll root for any team that can beat the Lakers.

I came to the sad realization during game 3 that I hate the Lakers, more than I love the Spurs.

That's just fucking wrong!

I told my wife that I'm actually starting to hope the Nuggets are good enough to take out the Lakers, and she was surprised I'd ever root for a Denver team. :lol

That said, I'd rather see Kobe with another ring than Cuban any day of the week.
