[TIMMYD!]

continuing what we did in the first half only better

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice is fucking GREAT

[Ya Vez]

sweet start to the 3rd... man what a play between blair and RJ...

[Quiet Strength]

Man the spurs are looking real good.. they're exciting to watch right now

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

man..dice almost got another one ><

[HarlemHeat37]

McDyess' performance tonight has to have solidified his spot as a starter..or at least I hope so..

[quentin_compson]

Great steal by Dice. And nice pass by Blair to RJ. An unexpectedly good start to the second half.

:flag:

[Chieflion]

This may be the best the Spurs looked this season.

[Brazil]

Mason shooting 0 - 4 FG, 0 - 3 3PT and 0 - 1 FT? Damn, where's money mace at?

Also, 44% FT shooting, classic spurs basketball lol
check your pm

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fuck. i didn't know there was a choice. only team i care about is spurs.

um... yea it was 89 during the early bird :nope all i care to watch really is the spurs too :)

[ezau]

You mean to say Dice isn't a starter yet? What the fuck is Pop doing? Anyways, great game by the Spurs so far, although I'm sure Dallas will try to mount a comeback

[Bender]

finley & RMJ need to stay on the bench

[Chieflion]

Rookie mistake by Blair, reaching in.

[angelbelow]

Sweet play by Blair and RJ

[peskypesky]

man, we are going to have a kickass bench! Manu, TP, and Duncan!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

make the FTs pleaseeeeeeee

[phyzik]

I love it that RJ is applying the pressure in the paint....

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

omg

[TIMMYD!]

RJ sucks at FTs
:td

[MB20]

It sure is nice to have another guy who can slash to the basket.

[Chieflion]

Richard, oh my god.

[Bender]

wtf with FTs tonight

[loveforthegame]

Missed fts are killing us.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

rookie mistake once again

[HarlemHeat37]

here comes the Mavs' run..let's see how our guys respond..

I really don't wanna see Dirk's ugly face in "angry mode"..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

4 on Blair :(

[Chieflion]

Nowitzki is going off now. Stop him now. Blair with 4 fouls. Ginobili enters the game.

[Fpoonsie]

Uh oh...

[TIMMYD!]

we need to hit our FTs and not let dirk get hot
bonner doesn't help with the latter

[Johnny RIngo]

Bonner coming in? Mavs gonna make a run now.

[TIMMYD!]

3333333333333333333

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 33333333333333333333333333

[Chieflion]

The Matt Bonner 3.

[TinTin]

Omg imagine bonner turning into jr smith

[HarlemHeat37]

Bonner with the spark, playing the role he should always play..

Dirk's starting to get aggressive..

[loveforthegame]

Spurs racking up fouls.

[angelbelow]

dang RJ is really struggling at the line still.

[TIMMYD!]

RJ helping me with the over/under

[Spurs Brazil]

Rj 33333333333333

[Chieflion]

65-50. Richard Jefferson 3.

[Ya Vez]

the 3's are falling tonight for the spurs..

[loveforthegame]

Raining 3s now.

[Spurs Brazil]

That was a foul on Dirk

[HarlemHeat37]

if Bonner did that to Dirk, it would have been a flagrant..

[MB20]

lol @ bonner flop

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck 4th on Hill

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh no here come mase hope hes gonna make some open shots

[Fpoonsie]

Oh, GOD, NO.

[Chieflion]

Watch our lead get sliced. Watch it now.

[loveforthegame]

4 fouls on both Hill and Blair. 3 on McDyess. Bench might have to step up to keep those guys ready for the 4th.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

dice damn

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

once McDyess gets his automatic J rolling for the season, it's going to be beautiful..

Manu treats Barea like a bat..

[loveforthegame]

Keep chucking Bonner.

[Johnny RIngo]

I understand we're up 15 but we don't HAVE to take a three every play.

[Chomag]

LOL at Bonner running away from a driving JJ. Thankfull yManu was their to clean his crap up.

[HarlemHeat37]

If only Mason or Finley had 4 fouls..

[loveforthegame]

Come on Ratliff. Hold the fort down.

[TIMMYD!]

We can't let dirk get in rhythm

[Dex]

Jefferson forced that last three, but he was due a heat check.

Bonner is out there to take those shots. He just needs to start making them.

[Whisky Dog]

Fuck I gotta be out of town tonight and can't watch the game on my league pass. Son of a bitch.

[Fpoonsie]

Good timeout, Pop.

[ElNono]

RJ needs to drive that shit through Donatello's throat...

[Dex]

Law of averages says that the Spurs are due for some hot frickin' shooting some day soon.

[Chomag]

MAvs going over to the Spurs bench to ask Pop to keep Finely and Bonner in. J/K but they might as well.

[ffadicted]

Goddamn that Dice Jumper looks good

[TIMMYD!]

Watch our lead get sliced. Watch it now.

I hope ur wrong

[Johnny RIngo]

If only Mason or Finley had 4 fouls..

Well they've only played a combined 11 minutes. Hill's played 24 mins so far.

[Chieflion]

The Spurs are a putrid 6-13 from the free throw line.

[Fpoonsie]

Ugh. Who's idea was the bat-coyote? McDonald's?

[Blackjack]

Nice to see 'Dyess either rounding into shape physically or at least being able to find another gear athletically once his juices get flowin' against better opposition.:tu

[phyzik]

RJ needs to drive that shit through Donatello's throat...

Donatello was my favorite turtle.... :depressed

Call him Raphael.... Raphael was a douche bag.

[Fpoonsie]

Fuck you, MASE!

[HarlemHeat37]

Mason and Ginobili with consecutive horrible passes..

[TIMMYD!]

Mason playing PG
Oh Noes

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ratliff has hammer hands. :depressed

[spurspokesman]

If only Mason or Finley had 4 fouls..
Make it 6 heat

[Fpoonsie]

Oh shit!

[TIMMYD!]

Did u see that dunk?

[phyzik]

High Flier!!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

RJ holy shit!@

[Spurs Brazil]

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Quiet Strength]

That was wicked

[ElNono]

Die Mason

[Ya Vez]

RJJJJJJJ... sick dunk!!!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Ohhhhh shiittttttttttttttttttttt

[Cherry]

RJ DUNK o_O

[TinTin]

WOW JEFFERSON. I literally ran my dog away from the bed I was jumping up and down

[Fpoonsie]

No pointing fingers, guys.

[quentin_compson]

RJ with the dunk. :wow

[Chieflion]

My stream fucked up again. How was that dunk?

[HarlemHeat37]

Manu settling for a horrible 3, airball..

Mason should have swung the pass to a wide open Bonner..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Rj holy shit

[Dex]

:elephant

[loveforthegame]

Love watching RJ dunk the ball. We need more of that.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

haislip looked so sad on the bench

[phyzik]

My stream fucked up again. How was that dunk?

It was so emphatic it was probably what screwed up your stream in the first palce.

[Cherry]

Manuuu

[Ya Vez]

manu heating up...

[TinTin]

Wow when was the last time manu took a midrange jumper

[Cherry]

Manuuuu again! hehehehe

[Quiet Strength]

haha bogans.. get that shit outta here

[HarlemHeat37]

wow Bogans..unbelievable..

[Chomag]

Holy shit Bogans!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

the spurs are shitting on the mavs man lol

[ffadicted]

Ginobili heating up just when Jefferson goes out

God I love depth

[Fpoonsie]

Finally

[HarlemHeat37]

Mason made a shot!!!..

...then Terry beats him and draws a foul..

[Dex]

There you go, Mase.

[Ya Vez]

RMJ finally hits a 3...

[Cherry]

Rogerrrr3333

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bogans!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 3333333333333333333333333333333333

[loveforthegame]

Did Mason really hit a shot?

[quentin_compson]

I officially admire Bogans now.

[Fpoonsie]

Hopefully, that'll open shit up for RMJ.

[raspsa]

RJ, Dice have really elevated their play with TD and TP out.. just imagine what this team will be like once its completey healthy and in-synch..

[My Fault]

Oh shit Bogans!!!!!!!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

If Bogans can deliver this defensive intensity every night, he will earn playing time. He's like the Udoka we always wanted.

[TinTin]

Ginobili heating up just when Jefferson goes out

God I love depth

Imagine when duncan parker come back and the team is in sync o___o

Man I would take a win against the mavericks over the lakers, celts or cleveland

Edit: ah crap posted the sync part too late x_X

[Fpoonsie]

Did Manu just low-5 the official?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

too good of a game so far :) i am loving it

[phyzik]

I'd have to say that was our best quarter of the game so far... Mavs are getting aggressive and we are staying right there with them.

[loveforthegame]

Bogans is more impressive than I remember.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 33333333333333333333333

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Am I the only one who notices that the Mavs are no longer the matchup nightmare they used to be with us? We're matching up very very well with them in this game.

Hill, Bogans, Ginobili, RJ, McDyess, these guys are a direct answer to each of the starting Mavs.

[ffadicted]

Mavs getting spanked tonight :D

We should sit Duncan and Parker more often :P

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This is like a coming of age party for our new recruits! Bogans, Dice, RJ all playing exceptionally well.

13/27 from 3 - we were always going to get hot eventually, glad it was today. I'd still like to see us shoot fewer 3s, but when the tone of the game means you have them wide open with good shooters on the floor, you've got to take them.

[Blackjack]

Matt Bonner just gave me a red rocket with that last 3-ball.

[raspsa]

Spurs 13 of 27 from 3-point line.. not too shabby..

[Fpoonsie]

Am I the only one who notices that the Mavs are no longer the matchup nightmare they used to be with us? We're matching up very very well with them in this game.

Hill, Bogans, Ginobili, RJ, McDyess, these guys are a direct answer to each of the starting Mavs.

Good point. I've been VERY surprised with McDyess' ability to stay w/ Dirk.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

now that we didn't play defense for last few mins in the 3rd quarter i think its time to play defense this whole 4th quarter

[peskypesky]

Fucking RJ is the man!

[ezau]

Goodness, whoever said that the RJ trade was a bust is a fucking moron. Good to see someone being able to do that.

[phyzik]

If Bogans can deliver this defensive intensity every night, he will earn playing time. He's like the Bowen we always wanted.

Fixed.... and agreed if he can keep it up.

[raspsa]

Hill, Bogans, Ginobili, RJ, McDyess, these guys are a direct answer to each of the starting Mavs.

Its called "depth".

[Fpoonsie]

See there...:toast

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Fixed.... and agreed if he can keep it up.

naw holmes he'll never be bowen he's too short.

But he'll definitely be that 6 foot 5 Bowen Jr we wanted.

[loveforthegame]

Hill, Bogans, Ginobili, RJ, McDyess, these guys are a direct answer to each of the starting Mavs.

The matchups are more even than they have been the last 2-3 years. It will be interesting to see how we look once Duncan and Parker are back. Parker always has his way with the Mavs but as much as I hate to say it Damp plays Duncan better than most.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

anyone think RJ is a bit tired out there rite now?

[TinTin]

LOL @ the barman's shot

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Its called "depth".

no it's called matchups

[ElNono]

I look at Dice guard Dirk and the only thing that comes to mind is...

LOL Bonner

[Supergirl]

is it just me or is Yahoo stuck?

[raspsa]

no it's called matchups

Whatever you call it, I like it.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

XFRk5MiQFJ0 look at that travel lol

[TIMMYD!]

Even bonner would've hit one of those 2 shots

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Mason fuck

[Fpoonsie]

Dammit! Right idea, RMJr...I suppose. [sigh]

[ffadicted]

C'mon RJ, keep it together

[loveforthegame]

Please get Mason out of there.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I feel a Mav run coming. Up the D, boys.

[BillMc]

Bad night for Mason.

Man, the Spurs are getting fouls left and right...

[ElNono]

Mason out... Watch us stretch the lead...

[TIMMYD!]

RJ looking like we wanted him to

[Fpoonsie]

Lol! Good foul, Dyess.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great job Dice, send this SOB down

[ffadicted]

C'mon RJ, keep it together

Just as I post this, RJ steals and scores :lol

Spurs gotta watch the fouls though.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

RJ is gassed out. He is slow on his dribble and making mistakes to make up for his slowness on D.


But he did play amazing earlier. Let's see if Ginobili and Hill can pick up the slack.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

XFRk5MiQFJ0 look at that travel lol

at least 5 steps lol

[HarlemHeat37]

I love 'Dice playing physical on Dirk..we've been missing that for a while now..

[Dex]

Dice is D'ing up Dirk decently. :tu

[ElNono]

Get Blair and Manu back in there and wrap this up

[TIMMYD!]

this should be a template for our defense

[Fpoonsie]

Not a great shot, Hill.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job RJ, make the FTs now

[sammy]

Man, the refs bail out the Dork everytime! The idiot is a clumsy ox and they blow the whistle!:bang

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Man, I'm LOVING the RJ trade! :lol

[Quiet Strength]

The spurs are playing spurs defense! I've missed it..

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

what is up with the FTs...they are gonna hack a jefferson

[Riverwalkman]

Nowitzki flopper

[HarlemHeat37]

Bonner covering Dirk, and we're back to what we're used to..

[ffadicted]

Spurs gotta slow down on the 3 point shot, c'mon move the ball and get decent looks

[HarlemHeat37]

Dirk's heating up..

[Quiet Strength]

what is up with the FTs...they are gonna hack a jefferson

Ya RJ is sucking at free throws :depressed

[sammy]

How is it that the Dork can throw the off arm and no call! WTF!

[hitmanyr2k]

I don't remember Jefferson ever being this bad at the foul line.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol dirk was taunting after the layup

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Dirk has been too quiet. I bet he goes on a tear here. We need to score some fuckin POINTS. Dirk has been Mr 4th quarter for the mavs this season.

[Chomag]

LOL at dirk yelling like he just threw it down on a soft lay up. lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

CBF - yup, matchups look much better with this squad. Dice can definitely guard Dirk.

At this point in the game, NO MORE 3s. Take time off the clock, and drive the ball

[Fpoonsie]

He's one oogly muthafucka.

[sammy]

Ya RJ is sucking at free throws :depressed

He's starting to fit in with the Spurs, make 1 of 2 free throws! LOL!

[Blackjack]

The Spurs need Manu to be Manu if they want to close this thing out; whether it's scoring or playmaking.

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL @ RJ's FT% going down like 15% so far this season..there's something about our jerseys that kill free throw shooting..

[ElNono]

Manu time... better take it to the rack...

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job Blair

[Fpoonsie]

Lol! Grizzly about to rise up...

[sammy]

Finally a call against the Dork! Whiny bitch!

[HarlemHeat37]

nice p&r to start the quarter..

obviously a missed FT though..killing us tonight..

[Fpoonsie]

Gotta make our fuckin FTs!

[ffadicted]

43% from 3 = :D

44% from FT = :(

[Brazil]

fucking FTs........;

[Fpoonsie]

Dammit, MANU!

[HarlemHeat37]

Manu has some unbelievably stupid passes tonight..at least 4 or 5..

[urunobili]

Fuck you Manu don't gamble like that

[Quiet Strength]

Here come the mavs... This should be interesting :flag:

[Chomag]

2 to in a row by manu. I love Manu's game but mantat boy turns it over alot.

[Brazil]

oh god.... super 4th quarter dirk is coming

[Supergirl]

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE SHUT NOWITZKI DOWN???? He's good, but not that good. Stop letting him drive to the basket.

[Fpoonsie]

Aaaargh!

[HarlemHeat37]

Dirk with the flop, getting the call..what else is new..

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

spurs are losing it a bit:(

[HarlemHeat37]

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE SHUT NOWITZKI DOWN???? He's good, but not that good. Stop letting him drive to the basket.

Dirk IS that good..

[Chomag]

On a side not. Is this the smallest line up ever?

[Brazil]

lol TOs manu TOs kid Steal Manu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fcuk, Manu, why are you shooting a 3 with 18secs on the clock??? :pctoss

[quentin_compson]

Boy, this is going to be a difficult finish.

[sammy]

It's frustrating as Dork keeps getting bailed out! Give me a fucking break!

[phyzik]

I don't remember Jefferson ever being this bad at the foul line.

He's a Spur now... it comes with the terretory.

[Chomag]

Yep, POP goes small ball and look...

[HarlemHeat37]

Manu has to step up here, he's killing us..

[loveforthegame]

This is Finley's fault somehow. I just know it.

[HarlemHeat37]

Manu with ANOTHER missed 3..come on..

[Quiet Strength]

Manu has to start attacking now

[ffadicted]

Not linking Manu's play right now, and our defense is slacking... lead down to 7, c'mon pop, do something!

[Johnny RIngo]

I hope all this three-point chucking doesn't become a trend with this team. We were too reliant on our perimeter shooting the past two seasons and were exposed come playoff time.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Come on man! Stop shooting threes for fuck sake!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What did I say when we were up 14... take time off the clock, don't shoot 3s. What have the last 3 shots been? 3s. :rolleyes

[ElNono]

Fuck Manu with the 3

[Supergirl]

Spurs cannot seem to buy a basket.

[sammy]

We get hammered and no call! WTF!

[HarlemHeat37]

I wanna see Hill with the ball here, not Manu..

[hitmanyr2k]

Damn...no one can make shit now lol

[ffadicted]

Crap, we've gone ice cold....

[Bartleby]

Spurs on pace for a single digit fourth quarter. That ain't gonna get it done.

[Brazil]

I don't like that

[HarlemHeat37]

meltdown..this is typical Spurs..

Manu needs to step up badly..

let Hill run the offense..

[sammy]

Pop, jackass call a timeout!

[loveforthegame]

Stupid Finley. He's doing something from the bench. I know he's behind this.

[HarlemHeat37]

give Hill the ball, he's been driving at will all game..

Manu running the offense is killing us right now..

[Supergirl]

LOL at Yahoo
(SAS) 4:32 Kicked ball on Marion

I had no idea Marion played for us now...

[phyzik]

Spurs getting anxious....

[quentin_compson]

We're falling apart right now.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The choke begins

ugh

[Fpoonsie]

Jesus Christ. This is ridiculous.

[Spurs Brazil]

We can't hit anything and look very tired

[Quiet Strength]

haha damn this shit is fuckin crazy. Should be a very interesting finish to the game.

[bigdog]

Ahhhh damnit

[ulosturedge]

Yup Spurs gone cold lol >.<

[Blackjack]

Yeah, zone..

Not so much.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

pop is playing RJ like superman
