[GrandeDavid]

Go Spurs! Now it gets really fun. Every game counts and I expect the Spurs to win tonight without question.

[TDomination]

I love these type of games. Every possession is crucial, every foul is big, every point is needed.

Hopefully spurs can pull through to live another day.

[Borosai]

The comeback begins tonight!



Maybe.

[Dex]

Gotta Believe. Let's get this one and see if we can make it interesting.

[xtremesteven33]

I just dont want to lose at home.....

[leonarth]

:flag:Believe:flag:

[crc21209]

Just Fucking WIN.

[BWS-1994]

Every game from here on will be Do-or-Die, ala Game 7.

:flag:

[Flux451]

three games 7's in a row!!! let's do this

[angel_luv]

The supporting cast needs to be a supporting cast.

On behalf of Timmy and Tony: " A little help!"

Go Spurs Go!

[lurker]

My prediction before the series started was Mavs in 6, and I'm sticking with that. I think Spurs got this one.

[Spursmania]

Win tonight, I don't want them to lose at home. Role players, bring your A game. TD and TP need help.

[TampaDude]

It's 2006 all over again...and no Manu to foul Dirk! Spurs in 7, baby!!! :hat

[ManuTP9]

Go spurs Go! i think we can pull this one out with help from the bench

[Borosai]

I usually predict 28 for Bonner. That's bad luck.

Bonner goes for 4 points and 2 rebounds!

[td4mvp21]

Come on Spurs, extend the series!! :flag:

[Budkin]

It's 2006 all over again...and no Manu to foul Dirk! Spurs in 7, baby!!! :hat

Too bad it was Manu that won us Game 6 on the road and brought us back in Game 7 from down 20.

[TampaDude]

Too bad it was Manu that won us Game 6 on the road and brought us back in Game 7 from down 20.

Guess someone else is gonna have to do it this time around, then. :hat

[jdev82]

possible that bowen starts on dirk and thomas starts at center?
could we dare to dream?

[Brutalis]

Like angel_luv said- Tim and Tony need the help. If it's there we win.

Believe.

[TheManFromAcme]

Spurs bring their A-game tonight. The emmotions and passion will be so deep at the AT&T you'll be able to slice it with a knife. The Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner (just to add to the drama!) will be heard in the background. Spurs dismantle the Mavs. This is where they somehow pull everything and anything they've have in their veteran guts.

No way Spurs lose in their house.

Good luck Guys.

[silverblackfan]

Come on Spurs! Lets see the pressure of elimination bring out the real Spurs for the win!

[Brutalis]

Screw this I'm going to the gym to hoop and somebody is getting dunked on.

I expect to see the old fashioned Spurs open a can tonight.

A rodent teabagging Manu? Under the circumstances it seems appropriate.

[Bosell]

Since only Tony and to a lesser extent Tim and Gooden have seen fit to perform in the playoffs...I grudgingly predict that the Spurs are going to experience the ultimate humiliation...being eliminated at home by a very mediocre team. But the tickets have already been bought, so....gotta fill my flask just in case the beer is not enough. It's gonna be a long night.

gtfoh

[Brazil]

Spurs will win this shit.

[Libri]

[bigbendbruisebrother]

If this is it, it's been a great run for the franchise in it's present incarnation.

In my heart though, I know that if the Spurs bring it like they have learned to do since Tim's arrival they can take these next three games. One of the new guys is going to have to step up and stay up though.

It didn't look likely in 2005 or in 2009 either.

:flag:

[Bosell]

gtfoh


Spurs will win this shit.

I sure hope you are right and I am wrong. I wonder if you really are in Brazil? Have you even been to any of the playoff games this season???

[Brazil]

[Bukefal]

GO spurs!!! We must win this, do it for us!!!

[BigJoeD]

I think we win tonight, but its over in 6.

[Bosell]

link ?

Are you drunk or something?:rolleyes

[Bosell]

I think we win tonight, but its over in 6.

I wonder what the odds are for Spurs in 7? Probably an instant millionaire offering for $1K.

I'm thinking of investing all the money I'll save if the Spurs lose. And if they win...season tickets for life with my winnings. :lol

[SpursDynasty]

Easy W tonight. The Spurs will just go out and beat a team they're supposed to beat. As I said before, the Spurs have this series wrapped up already. They just need to go out and go through the motions for the last three games. The Spurs know they just need to go out there, make some shots, grab some rebounds, and take care of business. Nothing surprising about tonight's Spurs win.

[tomtom]

All I can say is this will be an intense game.

Sarcasm, for sure. You must be a Cubanite.

[SpursDynasty]

The Mavs beat us 2 straight. Now all we need to do is beat them 2 straight. Then we'll have Game 7.

Game 7 is anyone's, regardless of what the streak was of the Spurs coming into Game 7 (ex. people saying they can't win 3 straight, etc.)

[clambake]

is it a big deal?

whoever wins this series is gonna get stomped in round 2.

[Rebounds]

Ok, am walking into the ATT about in 5 mins, come swine flu or 3 pt. shooters in a swoon, I'll be here to back up my boys and help send this thing back to Dallas.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Screw this I'm going to the gym to hoop and somebody is getting dunked on.

I expect to see the old fashioned Spurs open a can tonight.

You may be bittterly disappointed then.

We have Tim and Tony. Add Bruce for defense but not scoring. That's all of our good, productive players.

The Mavericks are the much better team. We just don't have anybody outside of Tim and Tony really.

2 players can't beat a good team.


We might win this game, but this series is over in 6.


The production of everybody other than Tim and Tony in game 4 was pathetic. It revealed that our team stinks except for Tim and Tony.


:flag:

[spurschick]

Manu, Bruce and Fabri have been tweeting and facebooking – rallying themselves and fans. Great to see.

[Mavs<Spurs]

is it a big deal?

whoever wins this series is gonna get stomped in round 2.

Denver is playing really good. And they have home court advantage.
But the Mavs have a chance against the Nuggets. Nevertheless, Denver would
have to be the favorites in that series. And that is the series (obviously) that will take place after the Mavs stomp us in game 6. My only hope is that we don't lose tonight and we don't lose game 6 too badly.

i'm not sure, but i don't think the mavs have beaten denver at all this year.

[spurtilldeath]

Go Spurs.....never say die....

[HarlemHeat37]

Dallas is 0-4 vs. Denver this year..

[MagnusKrauss]

Go Spurs! :flag:

[Rebounds]

Udoka warming up shooting from the free throw line, Gooden bout a foot inside the perimeter, just shooting it to get a nice stroke, now Bonner joins the two but he's shooting way outside the 3 pt line, over and over, making his shots, hope he carries that over to gametime action, you never know......

[Brazil]

Are you drunk or something?:rolleyes

:hat

[physics dude]

Dallas is 0-4 vs. Denver this year..

someone didn't do their homework

Games this year:

L @ Den 108-105
- With JHO

L Home 103-101
- Without JHO or Kidd

L @ Dev 99-97
- Without JHO, Green starts?

L Home 98-88
- Without JHO, George starts?

that 0-4 record means nothing to me.

Go Mavs!

[timvp]

[Pistons < Spurs]

Good Luck Spurs!!!

[celldweller]

No! It's over in 7, For Dallas!:flag:

[Crookshanks]

No! It's over in 7, For Dallas!:flag:

I read in the Ft. Worth paper today that the Spurs were down 3-1 to the Mavs in 2006 and they came back and forced a game 7. I really don't remember because I try to block that series from my mind! :lol

Anyway - the Spurs can still win this series. I know the odds are against them, but they have the talent - we'll just have to see if they use it.

[MacGyver]

Game starts after Bos-Chi?

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck

OT in Boston

[Pistons < Spurs]

Are they going to carry the start of the Spurs game on another channel? or at least delay the start?

[Marcus Bryant]

Fuck man OT.

[Death In June]

Bonner is still starting? What is it going to take to get his ass on the bench.

[Spurs Brazil]

Well, at least I'll be able to get some work done early if this thing is done before the half.

[Chomag]

Mason in for Bowen and Finley stays on the court

Of course! We gotta just thorow up a hail of 3's becuase odds are a couple will go in. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

[Spurs Brazil]

[Avitus1]

Jesus Christ! This score is shit!

[Knoxxx]

Where is Hill?

[Spurs Brazil]

Mavs up 24-10

Our role player SUCKS

Trade that bunch of sh!t

[Death In June]

How are you guys watching the game?

[GOSPURS733]

24-10 how embarssing is this?wheres that championship pride??

[TDomination]

wow, if we don't turn it around really soon, this will be a major blowout

[Horse]

Fucking pitiful.

[mcornelio]

yeah i see more overtime in the CHI-BOS future... fuck living in the east coast... wtf and the spurs game isnt even on league pass

[Avitus1]

We need to dump the trash off our bench!

[peskypesky]

my poor sister is at this game.

[Libri]

:bang

[alchemist]

How are you guys watching the game?
local tv, this should not be on National TV though, this is so fucking embarrassing

[lurker]

So much for the Spurs having fight in them. And I bet fake message board money on them!

[GOSPURS733]

How are you guys watching the game?
im guessing ppl are following it on yahoo or nba.com

[Mal]

That`s the game?

[Death In June]

Well, hopefully this is the wakeup the front office needs. This team needed to start attempting to better themselves three years ago.

[VaSpursFan]

we only have 10 points with 2 minutes left in the first...damn, going out like some pussies...wtf???

[Chomag]

Wow! Sit Bonner, and Finely for the rest of the game!

[Avitus1]

my poor sister is at this game.

My heart goes out to her.

[TDfan2007]

24-10 how embarssing is this?wheres that championship pride??

left with #20...

THis is pathetic.

[peskypesky]

wow, if we don't turn it around really soon, this will be a major blowout

Mavs smell blood.

[Knoxxx]

Need to play:

Parker
Hill
Bowen
Duncan
Gooden

Only chance...meanwhile, we headed to 2 OT Celtics Bulls? Missing the whole 1st quarter, nice. Why can't one game be on TNT and the other ESPN?

[TDomination]

i feel like we are back to the 2001 season where it was Duncan and the Spurs.

Now its Parker and the spurs.

Parker does everything while everybody else just watches.

[Avitus1]

At least Vinny D. is doing good.

[VaSpursFan]

OTOH, this bulls/celtics games in intense!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD dunk!

[Capt Bringdown]

Well, hopefully this is the wakeup the front office needs. This team needed to start attempting to better themselves three years ago.

I agree, that's the way it went down.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bonner, Finley, and Bowen in the starting lineup... yeah who didn't see us struggling to score out of the gate with that lineup? I wonder if Dallas even guarded any of those guys to start the game...

[peskypesky]

i feel like we are back to the 2001 season where it was Duncan and the Spurs.

Now its Parker and the spurs.

Parker does everything while everybody else just watches.

that's unfair. duncan has pretty good numbers in this series.

[Spurs Brazil]

Thomas block!

[Avitus1]

OTOH, this bulls/celtics games in intense!!!

True.

[TDomination]

geez, can't even capitalize off a good defensive possession

[HarlemHeat37]

Parker has 4 turnovers in the 1st quarter, he's not doing "everything", he's hurting us more than helping right now..

[BUMP]

this is awesome!!

[45 bank shot]

are we tryin to lose it or what?

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chomag]

Finely still in with less the 2minutes left in the first. I guess you gusy were right that Finley will not see the bench tonight. lol

[Libri]

Tiiiimmm!

[GOSPURS733]

timmy with a and 1

[Rain318]

This is ass :(
Get together team

[dav4463]

It's a 48 minute game. I hope this team shows some heart and wakes up before it is too late.

[TDomination]

that's unfair. duncan has pretty good numbers in this series.

ok, Duncan/Parker and the Spurs : )

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

i feel like we are back to the 2001 season where it was Duncan and the Spurs.

Now its Parker and the spurs.

Parker does everything while everybody else just watches.


If by everything you mean turn it over three times already, then yeah - Tony's doing everything.

[iilluzioN]

after the celtics game i wont even watch the boring spurs.

[45 bank shot]

c'mon guys, dun let this one be bruce's last NBA game

[Avitus1]

Did the Spurs buy their fishing equipment already and not tell anyone?

[TDomination]

refs bailing them out now

[jdev82]

At least Vinny D. is doing good.

no hes not he and doc rivers are engaging in criminally bad coaching. terrible d, and all the starters played 40 mins. no bench managment.

[45 bank shot]

after the celtics game i wont even watch the boring spurs.

ur gonna lose bookit

[Spurs Brazil]

Here come the refs

[alchemist]

the refs have been terrible though, every single touch foul is going the Mavs way, Tony kept going inside with major contact and nothing is called.........goddamn it!

[GOSPURS733]

timmy with another and 1!!!

[TDomination]

haha, Duncan with back to back and 1's. They looked similar too

[Mal]

How many minutes Mason is without a basket ? 100 ?

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Horse]

Fucking o-rebounds!

[TDfan2007]

Tim won't let us lose.

[Knoxxx]

At least we have not had to watch the early debacle, let's hope it's only up from here...

[spurs4me]

Score update please?

[mcornelio]

well lets see brad miller choke right now!!

[Spurs Brazil]

We're fucked

TP is ice cold

[Mal]

Great Bulls going for another..

[Avitus1]

At least we have not had to watch the early debacle, let's hope it's only up from here...

Lets hope...... for a damn miracle!

[Knoxxx]

Miller fouled at the buzzer, 2 FTs here and we are in 2 OT. :-(

[TDomination]

Geez, now terry is hot. Freakin a

[Spurs Brazil]

Mavs up 31-20 after one

[GOSPURS733]

Gah damn we fucking suck

[01Snake]

TP looks pissed

[Avitus1]

They got him good.

[Creation88]

Tim and Tony with 75% of our points
Dirk and Terry going off
not looking good

[SpursFan0728]

Pop is so stubborn. Unleash Hill~!

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason, Finley, Bonner giving us nothing as usual

[Knoxxx]

Man, they busted Miller's mouth open, I guess that's a foul. No time on the clock?

[Avitus1]

WTH happened to our defense?

[Libri]

31 pts in one quarter :bang

[Manu's Bald Spot]

is there anyway to watch the game if you don't live in SA right now? I'm so pissed right now, how could TNT not think of this and maybe put it on TBS?????

[Knoxxx]

Vinny lobbies for the flagrant...

2 seconds put back on the clock!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Mother fucker. Yo, Pop.

Finley blows. Get him out of the damn game.

[Death In June]

Pop is such a giant douche. He has become Bill Parcells.

[TDfan2007]

This game has blowout written all over it. For my sanity's sake I hope not... :depressed

[Budkin]

Down 11 already? Not going to be our night.

[Josepatches_]

Tim and Tony with 75% of our points
Dirk and Terry going off
not looking good


75% of the shots too

[Spurs Brazil]

TD played the whole 1st quarter

[TDomination]

blah, Bonner back in

[Knoxxx]

Miller chokes!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Horse]

Bucktooth dirk and his crew taking advantage of our short-handed team. What are you gonna do?

[TDomination]

where is Gooden?

[TDfan2007]

TD played the whole 1st quarter

Knowing Pop he'll sit till the 6 minute mark and we'll be down 20 then. AND WHY IS FINLEY STILL PLAYING!

[mcornelio]

brad miller is a fucking retard! Hillbilly redneck fuck you deserve to be a sacramento king

[bless1187]

guess pop isn't going with gooden at all today... FUCK BONNER & POP

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner!

[Knoxxx]

Completely unacceptable, we missed half the d@mn game!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Our D SUCKS

[TDfan2007]

wow...NO defense.

[Spurs Brazil]

Thomas layup

[TDomination]

it seems like we are getting a foul every defensive possession

[Capt Bringdown]

Pretty clear after the regular season and the playoffs that Mason can't produce off the bench.

[Avitus1]

wow...NO defense.

Story of the series/year.

Sucks.

[peskypesky]

Tim and Tony with 75% of our points
Dirk and Terry going off
not looking good

No Gooden, no win. We needed his scoring this series but Pop thought otherwise.

[Knoxxx]

We are only down 9, let's not melt down just yet. Agree we need to see Gooden and Hill, and Bowen can at least play some D.

[Mal]

I`m not sure I want watch Spurs

[TDfan2007]

How is it that the Mavs score so easily against us? No matter what they throw up it goes in. Maddening to watch.

[TDomination]

whats mason doing passing it back to thomas with 2 seconds on the shot clock

[Spurs Brazil]

Stupid fucking mason

[Creation88]

fuck you pop. you fucked us this season with your dumbass lineups.

[Avitus1]

Did anyone else see that fat douche "choking" as the Chicago team walked by?

Just curious.

[silverblackfan]

Stinking TNT post interview

[spurs4me]

Can't believe they are showing interviews on TNT, and not cutting away to Spurs game!

[StoneBuddha]

Switch to the f**king game already..

[TDomination]

ugh!!!!!

[Ice009]

Pretty clear after the regular season and the playoffs that Mason can't produce off the bench.

Pretty clear that Mason is a Hedo like player than sucks under pressure in the playoffs or regular season.

He is NO SJAX.

Spurs let the real one get away.

FUCK the Bulls. We are missing half the Spurs game.

WTF is this shit.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mavs up 37-24

Mason Jr SUCKS more than Finley now

Ime in and not Hill

[45 bank shot]

sit bonner's ass
or at least trade his ass in summer

[mcornelio]

Good riddance bulls

[TDfan2007]

Lol bass is dunking all over us. What an embarassment.

[Creation88]

wtf is bonner still doing out there. goddamn it fucking pop.

[Knoxxx]

Duncan doesn't cover the rim quite like he used to, but Finley and Mason are defensive liabilities with team D all the more important. If those two are laying bricks, that much the worse! I guess Bonner fits that mold too.

[TDomination]

they are calling a lot of fouls

[Mal]

Bonner rebound !

[iilluzioN]

Celtics game is over.... now the boring spurs game... losing....... again......... no heart...... no desire to win............ bonner is in the game........ fuck this shit.... peace

[alchemist]

No Gooden, no win. We needed his scoring this series but Pop thought otherwise.
Gooden hasn't produced the last 2 games, its obvious the fall he took has hindered him, just a long season of injuries and bad luck for the Spurs :depressed

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime 33333333333333333333333333333333333333

[HarlemHeat37]

I thought Hill would actually get a chance after he showed some promise last game..you would think Pop would play him with our backs against the wall..

[Horse]

Kinda strange PJ calling the game maybe he's coming back.

[Creation88]

nice no call on the dirk travel. wtf how many steps can you take?

[lefty]

Tpppppppppppppppppppppppppp

[Spurs Brazil]

TP layup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Libri]

Tooooonyyyy!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'm really pumped about Bonner and Finley getting so much run. They've been the only guys to show up this series and have played out of their minds [/Pop]

[TDomination]

nice sequence there.

did dirk travel there? looked like it

[silverblackfan]

Tony to the rack and no foul!

[Death In June]

Tony looks understandably upset. The guy has no room for error, or his team is fucked. Remember when we had other options?

[alchemist]

the refs are not going to call shit in the Spurs favor tonight, story of Game 1 and 2
