Spurs vs. Mavs - 2009 First Round Game 4

[timvp]

Get this one game.

1.

Believe.

[Streakyshooter08]

I am with you. Spurs got this. Never give up.

[Evil Angel]

I believe this game would fall into the must win category....
Pop needs a better game plan and some individual effort from the team wouldn't hurt either, or he'll be taking everyone back out to an early dinner tonight.

[benefactor]

No more lack of focus or energy. If we are not motivated enough to bring it every night from here on out then we will never be.

Win.

Wonder if Hill is going to run the point when Tony sits? Don't really want Mason.

[Spurious]

Obviously not going to get George yet.

We must play smart now

[Xylus]

No D by the Spurs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bowen sit = the team SUCKS on D

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Horrible Defense!

[tony09manu]

Mason as PG and the game goes to crap.

[Libri]

Parker on the bench hurting the Spurs

[Death In June]

Absolutely fucking pathetic. Finely might as well not be on the floor. Same goes for KT, and Udoka. Why wasn't Gooden out there? And Mason at PG, still retarded.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason and Finley are HORRIBLE on D. HORRIBLE

[Ice009]

Pop is about 10 steps behind the fans. Mason jr at PG stinks.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Gooden in...

[BUMP]

Spurs simply arent good enough

[Capt Bringdown]

I think even Vaughn would be be better at the point than Mason.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Not a good way to end the quarter :(

[timtonymanu]

man what a way to mess up the momentum.

[Spurs Brazil]

Missing FTs hurting us

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Spurs simply arent good enough


Isn't there a Mavericks forum you could post at?

[Borosai]

Mason is not a fucking PG. What the fuck is so confusing about that fact?

[SouthTexasRancher]

Get this one game.

1.

Believe.


:lobt2::ihit:lobt::toast

[Spurs Brazil]

Mavs up 32-29 after one

[Muser]

nice block Ime

[itzsoweezee]

mason is worthless. he shouldn't be in the game unless the spurs really need some three point shooting: end of quarters, close games, etc.

[Spurs Brazil]

The problem is when Bruce sit our D sucks. Mason plays terrible D and Finley is even worst

[Borosai]

People complain about Bonner, yet defensively, he's miles ahead of Finley and Mason.

Again, Mason is not a PG. He wouldn't be able to dribble around my grandma.

[Libri]

Gooden is in

[Death In June]

Win or lose, be it this series, the 2nd round, or the finals, we need to change the team drastically this offseason. Doing jack shit yet another year isnt going to cut it.

[Spurious]

Spurs have to get something done on the boards. Dallas is getting way more offensive boards than we normally give up, and they aren't exactly the Bruise Brothers.

I second the idea of trying Vaughn here...assuming we aren't going to see Hill. Mason can't dribble, come off a screen or pass to an open man, so that makes him a bit problematic at the point.

[Ice009]

man what a way to mess up the momentum.

It's all about defense. The first half of that quarter we had Bruce out there and played well then Pop has Roger, Ime, Bonner and Finley out there. What the fuck does he expect.

People like Hill that play defense should be out there.

[stéphane]

The rotations on the exterior shooters are horrible.

[45 bank shot]

pathetic pop is destroyin this team by letting mason run backup PG

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs shooting 55% yet still trail. Not a good sign.

[45 bank shot]

Spurs simply arent good enough
wrong!
spurs' coachin simply just arent good enough

[benefactor]

Mason is already struggling. Time to dust of Hill for some real minutes if we don't want to see our leads evaporate every time Parker goes to the bench.

[td4mvp21]

Hey Pop, you stop that by not playing a fucking shooting guard as a point guard.

[ducks]

pop tp is the head of the snake

[45 bank shot]

pop is so stupid n stubbourn.
will ever play someone else at backup PG

[BUMP]

its Tony Parker vs Dallas

the rest of the players suck

[stéphane]

I really don't get what Pop is trying to do by letting Mavs shooters get wide open looks.

[Death In June]

Feed Gooden.

[braeden0613]

Tony needs to score 40+ for us to win

[Knoxxx]

What irritated me was when Kidd collapsed off Udoka and Ime still tries to force feed the ball into a double team rather than take the shot. They won't even have to guard Udoka I guess, he was wide open by 10 feet for the three. Of course the force feed led to a steal by kid.

[kace]

The fact that Pop needed to put Parker back in the game to end the ST says a lot about this team.

1st QT main problems:

- no offense without TP
- no defense without Bowen, especiallt with Mason, Finley.
- REBOUNDS. we're fucked on the boards.

[BUMP]

hahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha Bonner

[TheProfessor]

Win or lose, be it this series, the 2nd round, or the finals, we need to change the team drastically this offseason. Doing jack shit yet another year isnt going to cut it.
We don't have the resources to change it dramatically, unless you mean bringing in several young, cheap talents (Williams, Hairston, Gist, Mahinmi) and giving them enough minutes to develop while playing through mistakes. How do you think Pop would feel about that?

[timtonymanu]

Bonner fuck you!

[Death In June]

Get that worthless cunt off the floor, plz.

[BUMP]

this is gonna be another blowout

[Spurs Brazil]

TP great play

[Borosai]

Bonner still BLOWS. It's harder to defend the perimeter.

When Bonner rotates off his man, and defends on the perimeter, even he stays in front of smaller players.

[Knoxxx]

Pass to Bonner from Parker = turnover, hopefully this is not the beginning of the bad passes again. Where is Gooden?

[Libri]

TP with a spinning layup

[BUMP]

1 player that all the Spurs have

[Libri]

KT in for Bonner

[Knoxxx]

Parker forces an ugly tear drop, trying to do too much on his own.

[BUMP]

get that shit out scrub

[stéphane]

Tony needs to score 40+ for us to win

40+ at halftime and 40 more after the intermission.

[Death In June]

Our team blows.There are too many uselss players. And pop mismanaged them to make them even worse.

[timtonymanu]

this is ugly.

[Libri]

Mason in for Bruce

[Knoxxx]

Parker not using his teammates, Thomas is a statue out there, Gooden gets that ball right under the basket and misses a weak fadeaway.

[BUMP]

:lol Parker is literally gonna have to do everything for u to have a chance

[braeden0613]

40+ at halftime and 40 more after the intermission.
sigh...probably so

[Spurious]

This Spurs roster is seriously out of whack right now. We might survive it (barely) with Manu and Tim at 100 percent, but regardless, we just don't have the firepower or ballhandling for a title run this year.

[Death In June]

Somebody other than Tony score the ball, jesus christ.

[BUMP]

what the hell make them pay

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

UGLY UGLY play right now...

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs look like a defeated team

[td4mvp21]

We aren't going to win when Tony has to do every fucking thing for this team.

[benefactor]

Someone needs to give Gooden the crash course on how to pass out of a double.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason horrible, Finley pathetic. Gooden and Thomas MIA

Only TP, TD and Bruce came to play

Pathetic

[VaSpursFan]

spurs are sloppy as hell right now. mason and gooden just chucking shots. offense has no flow...WTF???

[Amarelooms]

Spurs are lucky the mavs are not hitting WIDE OPEN 3's. Wright is so annoying...dude sucks hard :elephant

[45 bank shot]

oh c'mon. somebody needs to stepup

[Ice009]

Parker forces an ugly tear drop, trying to do too much on his own.

What the fuck do you want TP to do? Pass it to a brick layer?

[bbarry]

Wow. I'm just waiting for some ball movement out there, and it's simply not coming. We are basically just standing around and shit.

[Knoxxx]

Good timeout, horrid stretch of basketball there. Dallas is owning the interior and our lack of athleticism is obvious. When Parker drives his kickout passes are terrible. We need to pound it in to Duncan, get some good spacing, better passing, and players who are not afraid to shoot the ball (unlike Udoka and Bonner so far).

As far as the rebounding, Oberto could not be any worse than Gooden/Thomas thus far.

[Libri]

So far the Spurs bench has only 1 point

[Dingle Barry]

How many daggers did the Mavs miss right there..

[Ice009]

Mason horrible, Finley pathetic. Gooden and Thomas MIA

Only TP, TD and Bruce came to play

Pathetic

Heart and soul of the team is there with TP, TD and Bruce. The rest suck and NEED TO STEP UP. MUST STEP UP.

[alchemist]

Mason came in and destroyed the lead, holy fuck that was terrible, the Spurs are in deep shit.

[Dingle Barry]

We need to put Steve Smith and Ferry in.

[Borosai]

Nice dribble.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason sucks now

[bbarry]

mavs acting like they never commit a ****ing foul. :lol pathetic ass mavs.

[VaSpursFan]

good aggressive mve from gooden. i like the attack dirk strategy

[Stump]

I hate listening to Reggie Miller

[benefactor]

Pop adjusting by putting Duncan in next to Gooden...well duh.

[EVAY]

Anyone besides me completely ticked off with Reggie Millerannouncing this game?

[BUMP]

Threeball!

[Knoxxx]

What the fuck do you want TP to do? Pass it to a brick layer?

No need for the profanity. I know it is tolerated here, but it does not make you "cool", it is immature.

[Death In June]

Everyone scores on Finely, you can just mark it down.

[Muser]

Bye Bye Playoffs.

[VaSpursFan]

fucking finley giving up 3's to antoine wright. can he guard anyone?

[EVAY]

Who is supposed to be defending Wright?

[benefactor]

Wright>Mason right now.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley late again and Bruce on the bench...

[itzsoweezee]

dallas three point shooting is killing us

[Spurious]

Antoine Wright might not have learned much in that poultry class at TAMU, but he did spend time working on his j.

[BUMP]

good foul

[TheProfessor]

No need for the profanity. I know it is tolerated here, but it does not make you "cool", it is immature.
:lol I believe you may be new here.

[braeden0613]

No need for the profanity. I know it is tolerated here, but it does not make you "cool", it is immature.
probably not the best time to be calling people out for profanity

[Spurs Brazil]

3rd on DIrk

[bbarry]

Pathetic ass mavs lucking out from 3 pt range. This isn't suppose to happen.

[td4mvp21]

Mason and Finley=garbage defenders this series. Mason isn't doing shit on offense either so he's pretty much useless. I can't believe he's playing this with the way he played earlier in the year.

[Dingle Barry]

How could Hill be any worse than Mason right now? This isn't rhetorical.

[Knoxxx]

OMG Barea missed a shot.

Duncan to the line :-(

If we could get our act together this game is still winnable.

Mason and Finley have been pathetic, might as well get Bowen back in.

[BUMP]

:lo Gooden the savior

[BUMP]

dirk is a bad man

[td4mvp21]

Why Udoka even gets playing time is beyond me. He's useless.

[timtonymanu]

where the fuck is Bowen?

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley on DIrk :lol

[VaSpursFan]

3rd on DIrk

dirk won't get his 3rd unless it's very obvious and he sitll may not get it called on him

[Death In June]

Finely proving he should of retired two years ago.

[braeden0613]

don't even put a hand up finley, it's fine

[Libri]

Finley guarding Dirk :depressed

[benefactor]

lol Finley...he didn't even put a hand up.

[Mal]

Killed by jump shot offens...

[boutons_deux]

This game is a blowout without Tony.

Nobody else is helping with the scoring.

[VaSpursFan]

this game is getting awa from us...playing like shit in game 3 seems to be carrying over.

[sammy]

Why isn't Bruce in! WTF Pop!:bang Finley can't guard worth shit!

[45 bank shot]

wtf is wrong with pop?
does he know we r down by nearly double digits
n still play mason at the point?

[Borosai]

Finley didn't even lift an arm to contest the shot. Wow.

Oh, and fuck, just for fun.

[Capt Bringdown]

Mason at PG was the turning point. Pop killed us.

[Knoxxx]

probably not the best time to be calling people out for profanity

The point is that Parker needs to play smarter. Bad shots and bad passes from him and we are done. He needs to attack the basket when the time is right, and otherwise set up his teammates.

That said, the offensive gameplan is horrid. Oh my bad, what plan?

[Spurious]

Dallas shoots well enough at home that we'll need to rebound our best and really limit turnovers. So far having Mason "run" the point isn't a recipe for making that happen.

[alchemist]

season over :depressed or so it seems :bang

[Spurs Brazil]

Who is worst now?
Finley or Mason?

[BUMP]

its not Pops fault, you guys just suck....outside of Parker u just arent very good

[ducks]

The point is that Parker needs to play smarter. Bad shots and bad passes from him and we are done. He needs to attack the basket when the time is right, and otherwise set up his teammates.

That said, the offensive gameplan is horrid. Oh my bad, what plan?

tp IS NOT the reason spurs are loosing

[SpursFan0728]

Finley homers where are you now?

[45 bank shot]

Mason at PG was the turning point. Pop killed us.

agree, they have like 12 unanswered points on us when stupid pop decides to play mason at pg

[sammy]

Mason at PG was the turning point. Pop killed us.

Agree!:bang

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruce +1
Finley -11
Mason Jr -8
