Game Blog :: Spurs vs. Mavs :: Game 5

[crc21209]

Spurs showing some fight there at the end of the quarter, especially Ime, Hill, TD, & TP. Keep it up guys! BELIEVE. :flag:

[MavDynasty]

Dampier can talk all the shit he wants but if he can't make his fucking free throws in a very important game 5 to eliminate your rival,then he needs to stfu and sit.

[kjhip1]

Well you can say one thing, George Hill will be getting some minutes in the second half...He's being more aggressive then he usually is..who would have thunk other then duncan and parker, someone else finally came to play....Go Spurs Go

[jdev82]

watch for the mavs to choke when we equalize this thing.

[Death In June]

Gooden is more athletic, a better scorer and about even with Bonner on defense. Why he didn't play is a mindfuck.

[Dingle Barry]

This just makes me more pissed off at Pop. Yes, I'm a negative son of a bitch.

[celldweller]

Props to George Hill. I guess Pop will sit him for the 2nd half. :lol

[Ice009]

Mason Jr is Hedo part 2 and Finley sucks. Those 2 guys can't play a minute in the 2nd half.

Play Hill all 24 minutes

I said that two months ago Spursbrazil. I would have traded Mason Jr had someone wanted him.

I wonder if the Camby trade would have went down if the Spurs offered Mason Jr instead of Hill?

[texbumTHElife]

I came home and my cable wasn't working, so i checked out this thread. I was sure that when my cable came back on we would be down by 25. We were down by 7...

So many fans are bashing the Spurs for showing no heart but it seems like the fans are the real heartless gutless ones. Let the entire game play out before you jump ship.

[bigdog]

Keep it up, Spurs.

Keep giving Hill minutes. He's the best player out there besides Duncan and Parker. Keep playing defense, and I want to see some driving to the basket so they can get some free throws.

I really like Hill's aggressiveness so far, even though he had a shot or 2 blocked in the paint.

[Chomag]

Will Hill be our steve kerr jaren jackson stephen jackson speedy claxton?

There was a big possibility he could have been. Hopefully it's not to late now.

[alchemist]

TONY, TIM, HILL must play the entire 2nd half, our season is on the freaking line

[TampaDude]

Gooden is more athletic, a better scorer and about even with Bonner on defense. Why he didn't play is a mindfuck.

Pop is saving Gooden for the Finals... :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm hoping for..

Parker
Hill
Bowen
Udoka
Duncan

[poop]

i will bet my two balls that BONNER and probably not Hill will start the 3rd quarter.

[bigdog]

Oh yeah, Gooden needs to play, too. Bonner just completely blows.

[tomtom]

great bench help from hill and udoka. when the shit is mason gonna get it going again, hope he and gooden can get it going in the second half also tp should stop taking 3's :/

[timvp]

Hill better play early and often for the Spurs to have a chance.

F Bonner. F Finley. Almost F Mason.

[Biggems]

2 FTs in the 1st half and we have been attacking the paint this game a lot....we arent just settling for jumpers.

We cant buy FTs on our own flippin court. I am not going to blame the refs if we lose, but they sure arent doing us any favors......calling us for a ton of sissy touch fouls that dont even affect the play all series, and not giving us the same calls on the other end.....i just want consistency.....call it even on both ends.

We are down 4....we have to make our shots and play some D in the second half.....Udoka and Hill are sparkplugs so far. I hope they can keep it up.

If we lose this series it will be because our outside shooting sucked, our FT shooting sucked, tons of missed layups, we couldnt solve the Dallas zone defense, and the Mavs made most of their open shots......and boy did they have a lot of open shots this series.

[bdictjames]

I hate how negative Spurs fans have been.

I feel sad for Tony and Timmy though; they look exhausted. I think rest is the best thing for both of them.

[timvp]

No, don't play Gooden in the second half. He has sucked in the second half all series. He's only useful in the first half.

[Horse]

Mavs plus 10 at the line thank god for dampier

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill better play early and often for the Spurs to have a chance.

F Bonner. F Finley. F Mason.

F.Mason too

[Ice009]

I came home and my cable wasn't working, so i checked out this thread. I was sure that when my cable came back on we would be down by 25. We were down by 7...

So many fans are bashing the Spurs for showing no heart but it seems like the fans are the real heartless gutless ones. Let the entire game play out before you jump ship.

And the Spurs stepped up after Pop was called out for not playing Hill and the team has stepped us since being called out.

Why don't you just shut the fuck up.

The Spurs started the game playing gutless wussy ball. Now they gotta keep cranking it up. NO RELENTING. KEEP THE PRESSURE HIGH.

[Avitus1]

Hill better play early and often for the Spurs to have a chance.

F Bonner. F Finley. Almost F Mason.

You've been reading my diary!

[Chomag]

Hey I give Pop soem props for getting hsi head out of his ass and play Hill some, but I'll be so pissed if he sits most of the second half. The Kid is out there playing to win!

[Ice009]

Hill better play early and often for the Spurs to have a chance.

F Bonner. F Finley. Almost F Mason.

Well that's what I have been saying for a while NOW.

I don't care who is out there though right now Timvp. WE NEED THIS GAME so everyone that plays has to step it up in this second half.

[MavDynasty]

Dampier is carrying the Spurs to victory

[texbumTHElife]

And the Spurs stepped up after Pop was called out for not playing Hill and the team has stepped us since being called out.

Why don't you just shut the fuck up.

The Spurs started the game playing gutless wussy ball. Now they gotta keep cranking it up. NO RELENTING. KEEP THE PRESSURE HIGH.

He obviously changed his strategy because of the sand in your cooch...

[Chomag]

Oh yeah, Gooden needs to play, too. Bonner just completely blows.

Shoot! IF Pop outright refuses to play Drew tonight I'll still be happy if Oberto plays instead of bonner.

[Admidave50]

Believe! I'm following it closely every 2 min from office! Go Spurs Go

[Borosai]

What if Bonner hits the game winner?!

[poop]

BONNER gonna start.

never thought id say it, but id be RELIEVED if Oberto got the start

[GSH]

Have you looked at the box score? The Spurs have more FG's, more RB's, more AST's, only 1 more turnover, and only 1 less 3-pointer. The difference in this game is 13 trips to the line for the Mavs vs. 2 for us. That was a miserable 1st quarter, but the Spurs kicked ass in the 2nd. It's a long way from over.

[bigdog]

Shoot! IF Pop outright refuses to play Drew tonight I'll still be happy if Oberto plays instead of bonner.

Yeah, and timvp is right, Gooden has sucked in the 2nd half in this series, but seriously, Bonner is still getting minutes? He has sucked in the 1st AND 2nd half in this series. I'd rather see Oberto than Bonner, and that's saying something, because I hate Oberto.

[Avitus1]

shoot! If pop outright refuses to play drew tonight i'll still be happy if oberto plays instead of bonner.

+1

[spursparker9]

3rd quarter will be crucial, don't let howard go crazy again

[Libri]

keep playing Hill

[TDomination]

it will be interesting to see who starts the 3rd. we'll see if pop really wants to win

[Mal]

Who is going to be suspended in Orlando series ?

[poop]

bonner has been liability in 1st half, 2nd half, offense, and defense. ANYONE would be a step up over him.

[lefty]

Can't believe we're still in it

[Ice009]

He obviously changed his strategy because of the sand in your cooch...

No there has been articles about the fans wanting Hill to play more. I am sure Pop has heard about that and also his assistant are probably on him about it too.

He's waking up.

What are all your suggestions??? I don't actually see any. What should the Spurs do or are you one of those fans that thinks whatever Pop does is the right move all the time? Never question the team or Pop right?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

What if Bonner hits the game winner?!

:lmao

[ElNono]

Fucking TNT and the Boston bullshit...

Third quarter!!!! Better bring it... this quarter has been our undoing these series...

Come on... we can do this!!!

[underdawg]

I'm hoping for..

Parker
Hill
Bowen
Udoka
Duncan


Should've been the starting lineup

[TDomination]

bonner has been liability in 1st half, 2nd half, offense, and defense. ANYONE would be a step up over him.
what about austin croshere?

[poop]

Fucking TNT and the Boston bullshit...

Third quarter!!!! Better bring it... this quarter has been our undoing these series...

Come on... we can do this!!!

should have been a flagrant. he wasnt even close to going for the ball and he fucking knocked out millers teeth. as usual Boston gays their way to victory..

[HarlemHeat37]

it's actually at the point where I'm hoping for small-ball instead of Bonner..so hopefully Ime plays at the 4 when Dirk is in..I would like to see Oberto, but it won't happen..

[crc21209]

Seriously where is Drew Gooden? For the 2nd half we should see a mix of TP, TD, Mason, Hill, Gooden, Bowen, Udoka (since he's playing well), and SOME Fin. No more Bonner AT ALL.

[Biggems]

I am not going to cry, but it does seem awfully odd that they start calling this BS in the Spurs most important game of the season. Never posted during a game....trying a different ritual and if they win I will do it again.:bking

i just get upset, cause everytime the Spurs start to do something positive and make a run.....here come the whistles.....and they are cheap fouls, hardly any contact.

[texbumTHElife]

No there has been articles about the fans wanting Hill to play more. I am sure Pop has heard about that and also his assistant are probably on him about it too.

He's waking up.

What are all your suggestions??? I don't actually see any. What should the Spurs do or are you one of those fans that thinks whatever Pop does is the right move all the time? Never question the team or Pop right?

I'm a fan and I have more than enough ideas to fill this forum, however I am also not a fucking clown and I know that what I say here makes no difference.

If you know a damn thing about Pop, it should be that he doesn't give 2 shits about what the media or you think.

You can question Pop and the Spurs all you want, but don't expect to be exempt from the same questioning when you come across like a bitch.

Nut up and let the game play out.

[Thomas82]

Can't believe we're still in it

Neither can I, hopefully we can reverse our fortunes in the 3rd qtr.

[BUMP]

What if Bonner hits the game winner?!

:lol

[Chomag]

it's actually at the point where I'm hoping for small-ball instead of Bonner..so hopefully Ime plays at the 4 when Dirk is in..I would like to see Oberto, but it won't happen..

I hate thinking abotu it but track record says if Pop goes small he will start Finely at the PF.

[BUMP]

TP and Duncan having a nice laugh.

[GOSPURS733]

hill starting the 2nd half

[jdev82]

FTAs dallas 13
san antonion 2

[TDomination]

[Libri]

[Avitus1]

Okay here we go.

[Ice009]

Nut up and let the game play out.

That's the pussy approach. I guess that is you.

If that is the way you like it to just sit there and take it up the ass and let it play out. All yours mate.

[GOSPURS733]

[ace3g]

[ElNono]

[Spurs Brazil]

TP/Hill/Finley/Ime/TD

[TDomination]

wtf!!!! did u see that!!! lol

[Avitus1]

There is a God!!!

I love your sig!

[Chomag]

Wow! what bs call was that.

[GOSPURS733]

Wtf kind of bs foul is that>!??!?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

LOL, thirty seconds in and a foul already on a weak reachin.

And another one nine seconds later, whistle before contact...

[Creation88]

fuck dirk and those bullshit glassman ref calls. that's bullshit.

[BUMP]

Dampier should've helped Duncan up, c'mon now

[Avitus1]

Time for the refs to start fuckin up.

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm hoping for..

Parker
Hill
Bowen
Udoka
Duncan

almost..I should have known who Pop would leave on though..

[Death In June]

Terrible series of calls.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:td Smallball.

[BUMP]

have a little respect

[Bob Lanier]

Nice flop, Timmy. :lol

[TDomination]

why isn't that a foul?

[Chomag]

if that was Dirk driving he would have gotten the foul called.

[Spurs Brazil]

Where's the foul now

[Biggems]

we dont touch Dirk and its a foul.......dampier completely bodies duncan on a shot and no call........same damn shit all fucking series.

[GOSPURS733]

Gah damn about time they call a foul

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Way more contact on Tim's drive by Dampier than by Duncan on Damp's drive, but no call. :rolleyes

[Bob Lanier]

Dampier is getting away with a lot though.

[BUMP]

we dont touch Dirk and its a foul.......dampier completely bodies duncan on a shot and no call........same damn shit all fucking series.

:cry

[TDomination]

mr 1 for 2

[BUMP]

Way more contact on Tim's drive by Dampier than by Duncan on Damp's drive, but no call. :rolleyes

:cry

[celldweller]

I love your sig!

:lol Focus! Focus! :flag:

[Death In June]

Leaving guys open again, goddamn it.

[HarlemHeat37]

why is Parker still sagging off Kidd so much? the guy is a 41% 3-point shooter..

[Biggems]

another perimeter foul...this time on howard.

i hate this fucking rule

[Avitus1]

:lol Focus! Focus! :flag:

:lol

[Horse]

The effort is there I'm proud but these motherfucking refs will not let us win this is the worst I've ever seen.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP!!!!!!!!!!!

Mavs up 6

[Biggems]

:cry

u know ur ass would be whining too if the calls were the exact opposite, so dont act all high and mighty

[word]

I left that mess with 2 minutes to go in the second. I'd just as soon relax at home and listen to it on the radio. Easier on the eyes. Spurs are done, folks.
All this taught us was this...and THAT is how valuable Manu Ginobili is. Jason Terry going off busting three's left and right....wide open....

I can't watch that....

[Avitus1]

Time for Fin to wake the hell up.

[BUMP]

good drive there

[Avitus1]

Garbage call.

[GOSPURS733]

well get ready to be in the penalty early again..3 team fouls

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck the refs

[texbumTHElife]

I love the coach on the Mav's bench standing to yell at Fins when he's shooting. That is a classy organization.

[TDomination]

funny how they don't call it until he is about to shoot the ball

[Mal]

everything is foul

[Biggems]

come on Hill, you cant do that stuff

[Ice009]

The fouls are a bit touchy all in Dallas' favor.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lol Another weak foul on Hill. Can't defend JJ's drive, that's illegal! [/refs]

[BUMP]

u know ur ass would be whining too if the calls were the exact opposite, so dont act all high and mighty

u see me whining?

[BUMP]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Avitus1]

Son of a bitch!

[TDomination]

well, we got the lineup we wanted, and the mavs still increase the lead.

[Libri]

:bang

[word]

lol...refs....

yeah right...

[Spurs Brazil]

Mavs up 10 again

[VaSpursFan]

tony is playing like ass

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Tony turns it over, then whines at the official while Barea and Howard run out and score at the other end. Wake the fuck up Tony.

[GOSPURS733]

pay the fuck attention and quit bitching mother fucker you let jj go right buy you

[Hemotivo]

:wow TP

[Horse]

I've seen Timmy and Tony pushed and shoved no call If you even look at barea or dirk or anyone wearing blue it's a foul unbelievable again the worst I've ever fucking seen.

[BUMP]

well, we got the lineup we wanted, and the mavs still increase the lead.

still pops fault

[bRaNx27]

Mavericks raping the spurs and cry baby duncan

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Barea stymies POP YET AGAIN.....

[Spursox]

How did Howard get that Off. rebound around 3 spurs?

[Ice009]

What the fuck are the Spurs doing.

They don't LEARN FROM ANY third quarter.

Just keep doing it.

[Biggems]

u see me whining?

damn you cant read for shit can you...fucking ignorant Mavs fans.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

once again, the third quarter rolls around and SA falls apart

[boutons_deux]

Spurs -6 already in 3rd, they just can't score, GAMEOVER

[BUMP]

I've seen Timmy and Tony pushed and shoved no call If you even look at barea or dirk or anyone wearing blue it's a foul unbelievable again the worst I've ever fucking seen.

:cry

[jiggy_55]

WTF is Tony doing??? 5 turnover is enough! don't need to force a pass like that

[Dingle Barry]

Jesus TP dont bitch about calls during a fast fucking break.

[dolacheck]

See ya next year spurs!

[StoneBuddha]

17 - 4 free throw disparity in favor of dallas? WTF

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

well, we got the lineup we wanted, and the mavs still increase the lead.

You wanted Finley at power forward?

If we got the lineup we wanted, it would be:

Tony
Hill
Bowen
Gooden
Duncan

[Borosai]

Dallas gets way too many weak foul calls in their favor.

[Mal]

4 FT in 28 min at home ? Give me a break

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Tony turns it over, then whines at the official while Barea and Howard run out and score at the other end. Wake the fuck up Tony.

That was pretty lame.

Then Pop whined about calls.

[jdev82]

officials are making dallas' run for them

[celldweller]

These refs are making there allegiance so obvious.

[BUMP]

damn you cant read for shit can you...fucking ignorant Mavs fans.

im not gonna whine after every call if i did......well id be a spurs fan

[poop]

we can still win.

[MavDynasty]

These refs are making there allegiance so obvious.

I love your sig!

[BUMP]

These refs are making there allegiance so obvious.

:cry

[Ice009]

still pops fault

Well I wanted Gooden instead of Finley. Not a fan of smallball, but I got the lineup I almost wanted.

Either Gooden or Bowen would have been my choice, but hey at least Pop came close to what I wanted and Dallas still increased the lead.

I don't like the officiating, but Tony Parker throwing the ball away and complaining about it instead of running back on defense pisses me off way more than the officiating. That is silly stuff from TP.

[Biggems]

this is the playoffs......where men are men, and boys go home....except in this series. the little boys are getting all the weak ass shit calls.....and the men are getting the shit beat out of them and not getting any whistles.

[45 bank shot]

Mavericks raping the spurs and cry baby duncan

n obviously with the help of refs
say how much did Mark cuban pay 'em

[ElNono]

Don't blame the refs... if we don't get calls is because we're taking jump shots like pansies. Not even Tony is driving to the rack right now...

[word]

well, we got the lineup we wanted, and the mavs still increase the lead.

It's over dude....just let it go. let it go....

[poop]

why does Dallas always choke and underachieve against everyone else yet play like the fucking dream team against us?

[BUMP]

this is the playoffs......where men are men, and boys go home....except in this series. the little boys are getting all the weak ass shit calls.....and the men are getting the shit beat out of them and not getting any whistles.

:cry

[peskypesky]

You wanted Finley at power forward?

If we got the lineup we wanted, it would be:

Tony
Hill
Bowen
Gooden
Duncan

:toast

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Is Gooden injured? His defense is atrocious in this series, but if he even on the bench right now?

[angelbelow]

hill was playing well!

[celldweller]

I love your sig!

Mav fans are barred from looking!! :lol

[TDomination]

geez, we were down by 4 now by 10. this sucks.

lets go spurs

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

These refs are making there allegiance so obvious.

Blaming the refs is weak. Spurs are being stupid and soft. The only one who gets to complain about the refs is Timmy. But the rest of the calls are so so.

[Rummpd]

Duncan time.

[holcs50]

truth is Mavs are not that good of team at all...sad thing is we're worse. Take a serious look at the spurs roster and evaluate how good each of them have played in the playoffs this year....sad fucking team. Hate it but its true, just not that good

[BUMP]

lets put Hollins in

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!

[Avitus1]

Wake up, D!

[Biggems]

im not gonna whine after every call if i did......well id be a spurs fan

i said if the calls were the exact opposite......not one or two singular calls Einstein.

if we were getting the benefit of every silly touch foul like the Mavs are, and on the other end, if we were allowed to knock the shit out of the Mavs, the way you guys are doing to us....you would be whining and complaining....especially if it has been going on for 5 straight games.

[TDomination]

dang

[angelbelow]

where drew gooden?

[Rummpd]

Damm throw out for a three miss.

[HarlemHeat37]

great D by Hill..but then we get a 3 on a fast break? fucking stupid..

[Hemotivo]

:wow GHill

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Don't blame the refs... if we don't get calls is because we're taking jump shots like pansies. Not even Tony is driving to the rack right now...

Except for when Duncan drove and got bodied hard by Dampier and got no call right after Dampier drove and got a touch foul on Duncan...

[TDomination]

bs

[peskypesky]

where drew gooden?

Pop doesn't want to play him. He might score or get a rebound.

[Avitus1]

fucking crap!

[Biggems]

dammit Thomas..........enough with the offensive fouls

[Rummpd]

Another BS call.

[GOSPURS733]

FUCK that would have been huge

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck the refs

[Death In June]

What? What the f was that? Anybody see the foul?

[TDomination]

hahaha

[Mal]

refs are mavs

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

LMAO, Barea flops, gets the foul call on Thomas.

Now Howard flops after running into Tony, foul on Tony.

Fucking weak.

[Rummpd]

Fck the refs

[Spurs Brazil]

Refs are killing us

[BUMP]

hahaha u guys should probly stop fouling

[Horse]

Did I mention this is the worst I've ever seen, Holy fucking shit I may be done with the nba did you see the offensive foul call?

[Avitus1]

George hill!!!

[Chomag]

The refs might as well put on mavs Jerseys

[Juanobili]

hill!!!1!

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill block!!!!!!!!!

[celldweller]

Blaming the refs is weak. Spurs are being stupid and soft. The only one who gets to complain about the refs is Timmy. But the rest of the calls are so so.
Dude are you blind or what?

[SpursFan0728]

nice block!

[Rummpd]

Hill can help win this game.

[Chomag]

Hill says get that shit out of here JJ!

[Das Texan]

you have got to be fucking kidding me...

are we in dallas tonight?

[Biggems]

where was Hill all season Pop

this reminds me of last year when Pop wouldnt play Barry for the first 3 games of the Lakers series.

[VaSpursFan]

hill destroying the midgets shot...pop, you could have had that all series if you played him fucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ice009]

Great block george.

[Avitus1]

Timmy!

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!

[Mal]

No offensive foul with Dirk on the floor ?

[HarlemHeat37]

great D Fin..

[TDomination]

alright, we got stop. now lets score

[Avitus1]

Good job Finley!

[word]

truth is Mavs are not that good of team at all...sad thing is we're worse. Take a serious look at the spurs roster and evaluate how good each of them have played in the playoffs this year....sad fucking team. Hate it but its true, just not that good

Neither can beat LA and probably not Denver. Neither of these teams can beat the Cavs or maybe even Orlando. Howard had what..21 points and 24 rebounds...

Dallas ain't shit. Spurs are just that bad without Ginobilli. Even then...they couldn't beat LA but they could beat Dallas.

When you heard the words 'Ginobilli out for the season'....

it was over...

Truth

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

LMAO, Dirk just tried to flop on Duncan, he left Tim with a wide open easy six footer. Classic Mavs "defense".

[Spurs Brazil]

Great D

[TDomination]

Timmy! Down by 4

[BUMP]

Spurs arent gonna keep this up

[Biggems]

whats going to happen when Hill goes to the bench for a breather?

[RobSM64]

TD' is heatin' up

[GOSPURS733]

Timmy leading the come back!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tim Duncan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Avitus1]

Timmy time!

[TampaDude]

Timmy!!! Spurs back to within 4!!!

[Bob Lanier]

Nice pass.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Finally, Duncan's feeling it. :clap

[Das Texan]

what the fuck?


did finley have his great defensive play of the month just a few seconds ago?

[papashango]

Great defense Finley. His Defense on Josh has been great this 3rd quarter.

[Spurs Brazil]

whats going to happen when Hill goes to the bench for a breather?

I hope he won't. He's young. Play him the entire half

[mrcoon29]

Score, please and time left!

[texbumTHElife]

George Hill may stumble and bumble on offense but the guy's length on D cant be matched. Tony and Tim high pick and roll with Mason and Bowen in the corners after the time out. Run it to death.

[Ice009]

George Hill providing some toughness out there. Hill getting the crowd back into it with great hustle play. Tim hitting some shots.

[ballhog]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh. Timmy feeling it!!!!

[bigdog]

Wow did I just see a Finley block on Dirk? I mean, I'm one of the biggest Finley supporters on this board, but wow lol.

Hill needs to play the rest of this game. His energy alone is one of the things keeping the Spurs in this.

[hoopdreams11]

who is operating the fricking clock they better not screw the end of the game up

[Mal]

LMAO, Dirk just tried to flop on Duncan, he left Tim with a wide open easy six footer. Classic Mavs "defense".

It is classic Suns defens

[Chomag]

whats going to happen when Hill goes to the bench for a breather?

Give mason another go, even if he cant get off it would Give hill enough rest.

[Horse]

Neither can beat LA and probably not Denver. Neither of these teams can beat the Cavs or maybe even Orlando. Howard had what..21 points and 24 rebounds...

Dallas ain't shit. Spurs are just that bad without Ginobilli. Even then...they couldn't beat LA but they could beat Dallas.

When you heard the words 'Ginobilli out for the season'....

it was over...

Truth
I disagree with a healthy Manu we would've beat la last year.

[holcs50]

this is hilarious-mason the savior hasn't played a minute. Guy blows, we all highly overrated him earlier this season...Now no team is going to want to trade, well actually his contract is pretty reasonable so some team might want him. what a joke

Thank you for no blowing the whistles for a couple possessions...see what happens? The Spurs are successful.

WERD...the refs have cost the Spurs at least 6 points in this game so far... :bang

[BUMP]

Destroy that momentum refs, like Cuban paid you to do.

yep sucks for u guys

[Crookshanks]

If the refs would just let them play - we'd see who was the better team. I hope the Spurs can overcome this horrible officiating and win anyway.

[TampaDude]

Spurs got this.

[SpursFan0728]

The team now with Manu and an young athletic big=champion.

[Mavzy45]

Don't blame the refs... if we don't get calls is because we're taking jump shots like pansies. Not even Tony is driving to the rack right now...

Finally a Spurs fan watching the game...

what the fuck?


did finley have his great defensive play of the month just a few seconds ago?

No. Josh Howard just moved very very slow and made a very very stupid play. His ankle must be giving him trouble.

[Mal]

I disagree with a healthy Manu we would've beat la last year.

You don`t know it. But at least we have chances to win.

[texbumTHElife]

Mason off the bench, just not at PG.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Dude are you blind or what?

The refs have been unfair to Duncan on a couple plays where he got raped. The rest of the Spurs are obnoxious whiners so they deserve to get called. They should shut up and play through ticky-tack calls, not feel entitled.

Neither can beat LA and probably not Denver. Neither of these teams can beat the Cavs or maybe even Orlando. Howard had what..21 points and 24 rebounds...

Dallas ain't shit. Spurs are just that bad without Ginobilli. Even then...they couldn't beat LA but they could beat Dallas.

When you heard the words 'Ginobilli out for the season'....

it was over...

Truth

agreed. we need a legitimate sg/sf night in and night out who is consistent unlike mason. vince wouldve been nice for a few years. ha.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I wonder how big a dumbass Pop feels he is right now watching Hill tear it up, thinking back to the first three games of this series and what Barea was doing out there while Hill was sitting because he 'wasn't ready' for the playoffs...

[Biggems]

Finally a Spurs fan watching the game...

we have been attacking the basket all game....i have been watching the game.

we just dont get the bitch calls that dirk gets.

[DAF86]

Tim taking over.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Just wait till the MAvs bust out Singleton and Hollins and those dudes combine for 20 free throws.

[TDomination]

hill will be running point

[Spurs Brazil]

TP on the bench

[ballhog]

Why is Finley on Dirk?????
