11/17 - SPURS vs MAVERICKS - Game Blog

[angelbelow]

Why isn't Hill in?

4 fouls. saving him for the stretch run

[ElNono]

Fuckig Mason making Barea look like the Puerto Rican Jordan out there

[timvp]

I'm on the Antonio Daniels bandwagon now.

Sign him up.

[mFFL03]

how the Fuck does dirk get into the lane so easily. it's fucking annoying. he's slow as shit.

because he can go inside or outside....more than likely he will fade away though. it's like setting up the play action pass.

[cnyc3]

Hill in plsss

[TDfan2007]

So if Bonner is on Dirk...Dirk scores. Put Bonner on Humphries...give up an O rebound. Pick your poison at its finest...

[vednam]

Hairson hasn't done anything, but just seeing a guy run around out there and look sort of quick is refreshing.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I am getting so motherfucking sick of watching Bonner continuously getting outrebounded when he has good position.

dude don't come in here with that shit

it's the whole team

just like against OKC, just like against Chicago, just like against Portland

Sad thing is Mavs are just as old as us, no excuses for this shit.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

:lmao @ hating on the guy who is outplaying the Spurs franchise player.

[45 bank shot]

lets get antonio daniels

[41times]

w/o duncan in there and considering parker and ginob are out.........seriously what are the odds?

[Ditty]

if spurs lose tonight this is on pop where is hill and duncan while spurs are getting rebounded and the mavs are driving inside get the lineup of hill,bogans,jefferson,duncan,mcdyess the rest of the game please

[slick'81]

yeah hes trying to prove spurs should of kept him we all know he can score just wished hed played better for us lol

[Johnny RIngo]

I am getting so motherfucking sick of watching Bonner continuously getting outrebounded when he has good position.

Drives me nuts too.

[Spurs Brazil]

I'm on the Antonio Daniels bandwagon now.

Sign him up.

Waive Hailsip?

[Ice009]

I'm on the Antonio Daniels bandwagon now.

Sign him up.

Same here MAN. lol you don't have to convince me anymore.

Mason Jr. is the baddest. I don't mean that in a good way either ;).

[kbrury]

trade Mason straight up for a young prospect or some bengay for Manu.

[ElNono]

Hill in plsss

He was in there

[slick'81]

mason jr playing pg is just sad

[SenorSpur]

I'm on the Antonio Daniels bandwagon now.

Sign him up.

At 35 can he be any worse than Mason? If not, I'm in.

[kbrury]

if spurs lose tonight this is on pop where is hill and duncan while spurs are getting rebounded and the mavs are driving inside get the lineup of hill,bogans,jefferson,duncan,mcdyess the rest of the game please

ehh Hill is kind of in foul trouble needs to save him for the last part of the game.

[Chieflion]

if spurs lose tonight this is on pop where is hill and duncan while spurs are getting rebounded and the mavs are driving inside get the lineup of hill,bogans,jefferson,duncan,mcdyess the rest of the game please
McDyess? Are you serious? I would rather use Bonner at this point.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

good thing my horns are going to the final four this season

would be most depressing three year stretch of basketball for me otherwise

[hoopdreams11]

why dress Theo if you are not going to play him

[Duncan2177]

Wheres Marcus Camby when you need him?

[redzero]

I'm on the Antonio Daniels bandwagon now.

Sign him up.

And what would Daniels do? Dribble the ball down to two seconds and take a bad shot or an even worse pass? You can have him.

[Supergirl]

if spurs lose tonight this is on pop where is hill and duncan while spurs are getting rebounded and the mavs are driving inside get the lineup of hill,bogans,jefferson,duncan,mcdyess the rest of the game please

really? not because they lost Manu in the first quarter and don't have Tony? not because they haven't played for a week and have hardly played at all this season when they have have a roster to try and integrate into a team?

let's get some perspective guys.

[Libri]

Mason is a joke

He's a bad joke.

[slick'81]

holy shit a malik hairston sighting

[ulosturedge]

Yeah bitch here we go!

[ElNono]

Malik!
Can't believe it's a 2 point game...

[45 bank shot]

malikkkkkk

[Cant_Be_Faded]

We are a totally different team with Hill running shit.

I fuckin love that guy but he needs to learn to pick his battles on defense.

[Ice009]

Fucking hairston took it to the rack hard in his first play.

Fucking legend pop.

[Chieflion]

And what would Daniels do? Dribble the ball down to two seconds and take a bad shot or an even worse pass? You can have him.
At least he would not turn it over before the ball goes past halfcourt.

[timvp]

Bonner looked like he tried to Theismann Gooden :lol

[SenorSpur]

Don't look now. It's the dream backcourt we've been waiting for. Hairston and Hill. Now we'll see some defense.

[pku47]

9:29 SA - M. Hairston makes shot. Assist: M. Bonner

yes!

[Supergirl]

Hill needs to be sent into remedial FT camp like Tony was a couple years ago.

[hoopdreams11]

Bonner with the bow to Gooden's back

[ElNono]

And what would Daniels do? Dribble the ball down to two seconds and take a bad shot or an even worse pass? You can have him.

Considering Mason can't even bring the ball up without turning it over, it's already an improvement...

[slick'81]

ftw hill rules

[ElNono]

Cubes is ridiculous. What a baby

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs look energized with Hill and Hairston while they look like shit with Mason/Finley. Give up on the old guard already, Pop.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Dirk is lighting it up :(

[slick'81]

nowitzki destroying bonner

[dbestpro]

Bonner tries to stop Dirk by making him smell his under arms.

[TDfan2007]

Put tim on dirk!!

[ElNono]

Dice for Bonner please

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK refs

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck, 17 turnovers :(

[Cant_Be_Faded]

bonner has nothing to do with it

dirk has been doign this all season for the mavs in the fourth quarter

[slick'81]

lol terry sticking up for dirk

[ace3g]

didn't see the travel there by Hairston, made the exact same move a few plays earlier

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yet another bullshit travelling call, this time on Hairston.

[timvp]

Dirk flop :rolleyes

[Ice009]

Bonner on Dirk is a fuck up.

Hairston looks good. Get him the ball.

[mFFL03]

lol bonner, is that guy irish and drunk?

[angelbelow]

Hairston is active, really looking to finish

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Mavs this season are using Dirk exactly how the Lakers used kobe back in 2007 'til present

4th quarter is Dirk Time.

[gaKNOW!blee]

is there a bigger douche in the league than the "jet"

[45 bank shot]

what a bullshit call against malik

[hoopdreams11]

what are all these bullshit traveling calls

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol terry is crying for dirk

[ElNono]

He problem though is the points we gave to Barea and Gooden, not Dirk

[LA24]

Bonner :lol

[timvp]

Finley gives up a Terry three.

Nice.

[murpjf88]

game over

[41times]

i don't think pissing off dirk is the answer.

[slick'81]

game might be slipping a bit

[ElNono]

Now we need bogans for Finley and RJ for Malik

[hoopdreams11]

Tim has got to finish that play

[bbarry]

Terry is the most smuggest piece of shit in the league. fuck him..

[Spurs Brazil]

TD needs to make those

[Cant_Be_Faded]

god the mavs are so fucking predictable

[djohn2oo8]

Dirk to Bonner

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/io9/2009/01/Luke_I_Am_Your_Father.jpg

[timvp]

If this game is close, you know Dirk will just win it at the line.

[dirk4mvp]

Of course you won't see spurfan crying that Hill just bulldozed over Barea.

[Ice009]

WHAT IS FINLEY DOING LEAVING TERRY OPEN FOR THREE.

FOR FUCKS sake get Finley off.

No FINLEY, NO BONNER, NO MASON JR. you idiot Pop.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

These commentators, besides being pathetic at their job, have to be close to the most one-eyed in the league.

[slick'81]

take that gooden

[timvp]

Why is Gooden being allowed to push Duncan all game?

[TDfan2007]

Can Tim please make a layup...or a FT now?

[angelbelow]

damn they should have taken out finley

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

finley was sleeping on terry fcuk

[Ditty]

why is finley in there hairston was doing a good job omg

[SenorSpur]

WHAT IS FINLEY DOING LEAVING TERRY OPEN FOR THREE.

FOR FUCKS sake get Finley off.

No FINLEY, NO BONNER, NO MASON JR. you idiot Pop.

No reason in the world that Bogans shouldn't be in for Finley.

[smrattler]

No RJ?

[hoopdreams11]

no Jefferson should replace Fin not Hairston

[Supergirl]

If this game is close, you know Dirk will just win it at the line.

I KNOW. When the FUCK did Dirk become that important? Seems like he gets to the line a ridiculous amount these days? Is Cuban paying off the refs or something?

[timvp]

Come on get some stops.

[LA24]

Good game.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Of course you won't see spurfan crying that Hill just bulldozed over Barea.

Oh, Barea was set? I must be blind then.

You've got most of the crappy calls tonight, let it go.

[angelbelow]

man dirk is really something.

[slick'81]

damn how the fck did dirk make that

[dirk4mvp]

lol Spurfan

[mFFL03]

Mvp! 41!

[TDfan2007]

Dirk taking a doo doo all over us...

[dirk4mvp]

Oh, Barea was set? I must be blind then.

You've got most of the crappy calls tonight, let it go.

Oh so you can just run over a defender? When was this implicated?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Dirk doesn't miss :(

Where is RJ?

[Supergirl]

that's 5 on Gooden.

[Crookshanks]

This game is unwatchable. The refs are horrible and the play is crappy.

Oh - and I HATE Mark Cuban

[HarlemHeat37]

Hairston had a horrible traveling call against him..other than that, he played solid D on Terry, scored inside, and grabbed a board..why the fuck would you sub him off and leave Finley on?!..

[SenorSpur]

no Jefferson should replace Fin not Hairston

Exactly.

Pop you dumb-ass. You're just hell-bent on keeping at least 1 defensive liability in the game at all times. With Bonner out there, that makes 2.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

GOD DAMNIT games in dallas are so fucking predictable

duncan does the same old damn shit he's been doing all game
NOW he gets the free throw calls
just because the refs want to make it seem like htey calling it even at the end
when they know FT contest favors the mavs

[41times]

well my Man Money hits again.
Dirk is unreal

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

coz pop has to play finley over RJ,bogans or hairston period no reason needed

[Ditty]

mavs making lucky shots thats it spurs need to knock down free throws and they can win this game i think the spurs need to double dirk and let someone else beat them

[ElNono]

The question is, did we really need to wait until Dirk scored 6 times in a row on Bonner until we trotted out Dice?

[Ice009]

no Jefferson should replace Fin not Hairston

How did I know he'd take Hairston off and leave Finley on.

start up razzie awards for coaching. I'll give it to Pop right now. Pop is hurting this team a lot by playing bad players out there.

[TDfan2007]

Hairston had a horrible traveling call against him..other than that, he played solid D on Terry, scored inside, and grabbed a board..why the fuck would you sub him off and leave Finley on?!..

When you're senile...

[neboat]

how many freaking times do they have to show mark cuban? so suck of seeing his ugly face :wakeup

[dbestpro]

This is really poor basketball by both teams. Nothing to be proud of win or lose.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Good game.

Which game have you been watching? It's been a horrific game to watch! :lol

[Johnny RIngo]

Why is Gooden being allowed to push Duncan all game?

This is a perimeter oriented league. Breathe on a guy like Dirk and it's a FT but the refs will allow the bigs to push/shove TD all game.

[TIMMYD!]

RJ needs to take more shots. He hasn't been aggressive at all this game

[ElNono]

Is Finley the minutes leader... again?

[dirk4mvp]

:lmao :lmao :lmao it's always the refs fault

[neboat]

The question is, did we really need to wait until Dirk scored 6 times in a row on Bonner until we trotted out Dice?

yup, agree with you totally...how we are asking dice to cool down a hot dirk? geezz...:bang

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Finley for Hairston... :lol :(

[Ditty]

i wish duncan punched dirk that would of been funny

[smrattler]

Dirk's not going to miss, we need to get the ball out of his hands.

Whoever is defending him needs to get chest to chest with him. Make him put it on the floor, don't give him the J.

Malik looked lost on offense unless he gets a pass going to the rim.

RJ's back in, give him the ball and see if he can do something, nobody else seems to be.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i can't recall how many traveling calls has been called this game against the spurs

[dbestpro]

The question is, did we really need to wait until Dirk scored 6 times in a row on Bonner until we trotted out Dice?

and Dice has done exactly what on defense?

[Shastafarian]

Serious question for Mavs fans. Do you guys even like Terry? I've never disliked a player so much. From him punching people in the nuts to his stupid jet arms, he's gotta be one of the bigger douches in the league.

[Ice009]

The question is, did we really need to wait until Dirk scored 6 times in a row on Bonner until we trotted out Dice?

Seriously man Pop needs to fire himself. Get in AJ.

You won't see AJ play Bonner on Dirk with the game on the line ever.

You won't see AJ play Finley at all.

Even though I think obviously Pop is a better coach it would be worth it for those two corrections.

[slick'81]

5 down here we go

[dbestpro]

i can't recall how many traveling calls has been called this game against the spurs

Funny, we're suppose to ge two steps now and we aren't even allowed one.

[024]

still plenty of time. need to make some stops.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow Finley? 333333333

[timvp]

Wow. Didn't think Fin would hit that.

[slick'81]

Finley=3

[LA24]

Finley ? where'd that came from ?

[HarlemHeat37]

Finley makes clutch shots, at least..now don't give them up Fin..

[slick'81]

dirk over timmmy

[rayray2k8]

Finley can still shoot?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

underneath it all there is a good chess match going on between pop and carlisle


dirk is just on fire though

[Chieflion]

Finley still clutch when it counts.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Dirk.... :(

[timvp]

Dirk is such a good offensive player.

[Johnny RIngo]

Weak shit by Duncan.

[Velo]

WTF Fin?!

[HarlemHeat37]

Lol dirk gets the call, what a surprise..

[timvp]

OMG they did not just call that.

[spurspokesman]

Finley=3
He's fools gold

[rayray2k8]

Forcing the ball into Duncan... oh god.

[ElNono]

and Dice has done exactly what on defense?

Dirk actually missed twice against Dice since he's gone in.
You're not going to stop Dirk completely, but it's pretty obvious Dice does a better job than Matt.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

That's right Mcdyess :)

[Quiet Strength]

How wasnt that a foul on dirk? Wtf

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

This is really poor basketball by both teams. Nothing to be proud of win or lose.Dirk is doing great though. He's in peak MVP form.
Spurs fans have nothing to be proud of...Tim isn't really carrying the team and the rest of the team is going through the motions. By their attitude you would think the game wasn't close or worth fighting for. They're like okay with this loss. "eh, Manu and Tony are out...let's phone it in"

[Cant_Be_Faded]

duncan wincing


roflrofl
spurs are the most fragile team of all time this year

[LA24]

Nice D.

[Bartleby]

Finley can still shoot?

Finley's been shooting well all night (pretty much all season, actually). Too bad his D is so shitty.

[ElNono]

You were saying? :lol

[timvp]

Surprised that wasn't a foul on McDyess . . .

[dbestpro]

Dice woke up.

[slick'81]

wow yeah dyess cant guard dirk any better than bonner

[rayray2k8]

Pretty good game.

[Libri]

refs :flipoff

[TDfan2007]

Tim needs to make these easy shots...it's getting ridiculous.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm pretty sure Heather Cox doesn't have a clue what the words coming out of her mouth actually mean... :rolleyes

[smrattler]

RJ taking it to the hole. That's what we need, get him the ball, he can get to the hole or the line.

No Manu, Tony... RJ is the only guy left that can do this. We're in the penalty, let's go.

[slick'81]

2point game

[duncan228]

duncan wincing

:(

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Mcdyess son!

[ace3g]

dice money from the corner

[slick'81]

dyess all day baby time out dallas

[ElNono]

Dice is a pimp

[45 bank shot]

tie game

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Supergirl]

Just want to point out that as crappy as the Spurs are shooting and as well as Dirk is shooting, Spurs are only 2 pts down, playing on the road, without Manu or Tony, with 3 min to go...

[Ditty]

now thats spurs basketball there u go!!!

[timvp]

McDyess.

F Yeah.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeee

[rayray2k8]

Dice, dice baby!

[Supergirl]

...and now it's a tie game

[Libri]

Damn!! That Dice shot was nothing but net!

[LA24]

who needs manu or parker...

[Avitus1]

Lets pull it together and go for the W!

[timvp]

Keep. Dirk. Off. The Line.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

and Dice has done exactly what on defense?

He's hit the 3 open jumpers he's taken. Why didn't the team get him going with open jumpersin the 1st Q?

[hoopdreams11]

Great Game hope the zebras don't mess it up down the stretch

[Supergirl]

what makes it Spurs ball is that neither team has scored 80 pts and we're down to the final 3 min of the game.

[timvp]

I'll take anything other than Dirk free throws or an open three for Jason Terry.

[mexicanjunior]

Just want to point out that as crappy as the Spurs are shooting and as well as Dirk is shooting, Spurs are only 2 pts down, playing on the road, without Manu or Tony, with 3 min to go...

Keep in mind, Dallas is missing Howard, Marion and Dampier...nothing to be proud of tonight win or lose.

[Crookshanks]

This game is not good for my blood pressure

[DesignatedT]

dice bitch

[ffadicted]

Fuck McDyess' jumpshot makes me wet

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

get together!!!!!!!!!!

[pawe]

Dice taking care of Dirk and the basket.

[TDfan2007]

Dice >>>>>>>>>>>>> Bonner...at least against Dallas


I just want to see the old (as in good old) Tim for the next 3 minutes...:depressed

[dbestpro]

Welcome to the game, Dice. We were missing ya.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Gee I wonder who the Mavs are going to after this time out?

[ElNono]

Keep. Dirk. Off. The Line.

Not gonna happen. The best we can wish for is Barea trying to be a hero.

[smrattler]

Keep. Dirk. Off. The Line.


Im.Poss.Ib.Le.In.Dal.Las.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Finally....Dice saving this game w/ some excitement.

Hopefully this game goes to overtime

[marini martini]

Win or lose, it was a fun game to watch!!!:toast

[LA24]

This game is not good for my blood pressure

It's good for everyone else.

[Supergirl]

Spurs have also only attempted 11 3 pters...and made 6 of them. That's also a much better sign for the team as a whole

[Crookshanks]

Im.Poss.Ib.Le.In.Dal.Las. :lmao

[Libri]

Come on! Play some scrappy ball!

[ace3g]

Jefferson height bothering JET

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Damn.... :(

[LA24]

RJ, you fucked up.

[slick'81]

take that terry u bitch great pass there rj

[bbarry]

FUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK What a careless ass pass.

Game over.

[ElNono]

Goddammit

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Nothing like a telegraphed pass during crunch time.

Bleh. Same RJ we saw in 2003.

[Ice009]

What a stupid pass.

Fuck rj.

[dbestpro]

That was Hill's fault. Really bas spacing bringing his man into Tim's territory.

[TDfan2007]

GODDAMNIT. What a stupid fucking pass and poor spacing.

[timvp]

Jefferson's clutch play has been lacking . . .

[ulosturedge]

Is RJ jinxed? He always has these ill timed mistakes...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs have also only attempted 11 3 pters...and made 6 of them. That's also a much better sign for the team as a whole
Lack of failed 3 PT attempts is a sign that Manu is not playing today.

[murpjf88]

rj stinks

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bad turnover by RJ again at late game

[Velo]

The Way JET is shooting, Spurs should have let them have that Posession.

[TDfan2007]

Give Tim the ball EVERY TIME.

[dbestpro]

I been waiting for Dice to attack the basket all season.

[ElNono]

I like we're playing tall ball. We have the advantage there.

[Libri]

Dice clutch free throws

[LA24]

this is going overtime...possibly two.

[slick'81]

gooden taking duncan to the wood shed

[smrattler]

Winning time... who's gonna do it?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

2 mins left...i am having about to have a heart attack

[slick'81]

damn tough miss

[Crookshanks]

damn - we needed an offensive rebound there

[dbestpro]

Got to go with the mismatch. Dice has Kidd on him.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Is RJ jinxed? He always has these ill timed mistakes...

we'll see in the playoffs...I don't think we should trust him late in the game. :lol

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Goddamnit

[slick'81]

hill trying to do to much

[ElNono]

Wow

[dbestpro]

Hill trying to do too much.

[murpjf88]

spurs can't finish

[slick'81]

to missed daggers by dallas spurs ball down 2

[Crookshanks]

Okay Spurs - lets see what you're made of.

[LA24]

this game's headed for a triple OT :hungry:

[45 bank shot]

so many no-calls against us

[Spurs Brazil]

Good timeout

Put Bonner now

[timvp]

That was the worst double team I've ever seen.

[ElNono]

Dirk hasn't taken a single shot since the last timeout... And we are still down...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

heart attackingdman that would have been a basket if it was TP

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Hill made a bad mistake.. WAIT FOR DUNCAN!!! :pctoss

[Cant_Be_Faded]

We have to steal this game now.

They've gone away from Dirk for like six possessions in a row and he's red hot. Dirk himself passing it to Kidd for a three when he's being covered by Dice!!!


We have to steal this game.

We have to steal this game.

We have to steal this game.

We have to steal this game.

We have to steal this game.

We have to steal this game.

We have to steal this game.

We have to steal this game.



Go spurs.

[Chomag]

How was that no a foul!?!?! Freaking Dirk gets breathed on and it's a foul but when Hill gets hacked from behind its ok?

[WildcardManu]

refs don't respect george hill whenever he penetrates and creates contact

[dbestpro]

I run a pick and pop with Dice.

[smrattler]

And the winner of the ugliest game of the year is...

[Velo]

This might go to OT...or GW shot somehow.

[duncan228]

Believe.
