[LakerHater]

Man, the Spurs are gonna foul out by half time!!

[PBEEZY]

Refs bailing out mavs with soft calls :rolleyes

[Thompson]

I guess it's official, Stern wants the Mavs to make it through. Every freaking trip is a foul for them.

[gospursgojas]

[angelbelow]

[Spursmania]

Wow- fouls galore! I see the writing on the wall!!
Fuck the refs!!!!

[RedRaider]

Pull it together spurs

[DPG21920]

Turn overs will crush the Spurs. Spurs with the fouling and TO's giving the Mavs all of their points.

[angelbelow]

nice drive by hill..

[angelbelow]

why the hell is dampier starting? haywood must not be happy about that

[TDfan2007]

bad pass Manu.

[Spursmania]

They need to let them play for fuck's sake.

[AnthonyM]

Lmao...mavs already in the penalty for the quarter

[Velo]

LOLMavs are being the aggressor. They got a ton of Fouls drawn to the Spurs.

[ffadicted]

8 minutes in the penalty, fuck this shit

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol did the refs shout "relax relax"

[AnthonyM]

Spurs need to calm down ...

getting bad shots and no ball movement...

[angelbelow]

shit comon dice.. stay hot

[Technique]

lol manu?

[The Cougar]

lol Spurs in the penalty in 4 minutes

[DPG21920]

Spurs offense has turned into shit really quickly. Shots are way off.

[angelbelow]

LOL wtf duncan..

[BanditHiro]

wow spurs suck so hard right now

[DPG21920]

Nice play by Damp, Tim does not look sharp early.

[TDfan2007]

Spurs losing their composure early this time.

[Sigz]

Spurs suck.

[RedRaider]

Duncan playing like shit so far

[Spurs Brazil]

too many TOs

[biziofromdowntown]

oh fuck

[Technique]

long night indeed

[DPG21920]

Mavs on a big run. Spurs all the fouls and turnovers has given the Mavs the energy. Spurs need to focus. They look a little slow.

[AnthonyM]

the early fouls really killed anything the Spurs had going...

[scottspurs]

we need to keep feeding tim

[ShoogarBear]

WTF is going on with all the jump shots?

[Ice009]

What the FUCK. Tim and Manu are rusty as FUCK.

Thanks POP.

[CFH]

Get it together

[Death In June]

Wow, refs really fucked em over early. Stern letting em know who's supposed to win this series.

[Tp9gospursgo]

They need to forget about the refs. Just play guys!! We can't let the refs beat us

[ginobme]

if the refs are going to blowing the whistles we need to be driving to the hoop...check Parker in the game please.

[dbestpro]

The foul calls have made the Spurs timid.

[Mr.Robinson]

long night indeed

Refs helped that run.

[timvp]

Fouls already an issue.

That didn't take long.

[BanditHiro]

dammit and they can't play aggressive on defense because of the stupid soft fouls have put them in the penalty

[Spurologist]

TD needs to wake the fuck up.....he's physically and mentally slow right now.

[Biggems]

when did Duncan turn into Stone Hands Mohammad

[SpursTillTheEnd]

wtf at all these foul calls it should be 8-4 rite now mavs got helped out

[Libri]

Dammit.:bang

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Wow, Dallas shooting 27 percent and still winning, while only 1 foul away from shooting FT's the remainder of the quarter.

No rebounding and too many turnovers. At least it's still early, but the Spurs gotta wake up, especially Duncan.

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs will be fine once Mason and Bonner enter the game..

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice needs to take shots when he's open. His last 2 shots were horrible

[Cant_Be_Faded]

What the fuck is Duncan doing out there

Too bad George is hurt, we need to get to the rim not shoot jumpshots

[timvp]

TP needs to come in and get to the basket.

[DPG21920]

I have not really seen any bad calls, just bad defense. Spurs need to pick up the energy. They look very lethargic, but to be expected with the days off. Spurs will get better as the game goes on.

[Avitus1]

Fucking fouls...

[ffadicted]

TP needs to come in and get to the basket.

That goes for Ginobili and Hill too

[Ice009]

Alright, obviously we need to start executing better here.

Manu and Tim need to get that rust off quick and go to work.

TP is VITAL OFF the bench. We need TP as well playing his game. I want TP aggressive out there.

[Spurs Brazil]

I'm happy to see Bogans and not Mason

[dirk4mvp]

:lmao yeah it's all the refs fault the Mavs are completely outplaying the Spurs right now

[dbestpro]

There is a need to attack the basket and press the refs to call the game both ways. Hill also needs to get it going.

[Blackjack]

Spurs will be fine once Mason and Bonner enter the game..

Egg Zach Lee :tu

[Biggems]

too bad Jefferson slipped on that layup.....cause the mavs would only be up 1 right now

[Whisky Dog]

Fouls were bad, but the turnovers and off rythm jumpers are really hurting the offense. Tighten this shit up and execute.

[Warlord23]

Why don't they have Salvatore's name on the scoreboard? Doesn't he have like 3 assists already?

[BanditHiro]

I have not really seen any bad calls, just bad defense. Spurs need to pick up the energy. They look very lethargic, but to be expected with the days off. Spurs will get better as the game goes on.

they were soft fouls that should not be called in the playoffs especially when a team has momentum

[Mr.Robinson]

What the fuck is Duncan doing out there

Too bad George is hurt, we need to get to the rim not shoot jumpshots

Tim looks nervous. WTF!

[jestersmash]

Ginobili will go to the basket when needed. You don't want to bring out your alpha offense from the start.

[txallstar]

10+ years in the league and duncan still does face up bs and loses the ball, you think he would change his game just a little

[alchemist]

:lmao yeah it's all the refs fault the Mavs are completely outplaying the Spurs right now
:lmao right faggot :rolleyes

[timvp]

Come on ... can't dig a hole.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i still cant believe they called a foul on that butler baseline drive

[ginobme]

:lmao yeah it's all the refs fault the Mavs are completely outplaying the Spurs right now

Yup, just like its all the refs fault D-Whistle hoisted the trophy instead your soft ass team..

[angelbelow]

Lets see if parker can give us some offense

[CFH]

Manu with the drive.

[ffadicted]

See Gino, do that lol

[AnthonyM]

:lmao yeah it's all the refs fault the Mavs are completely outplaying the Spurs right now

4 rings, faggot

[DPG21920]

Nice Manu.

[Mr.Robinson]

they were soft fouls that should not be called in the playoffs especially when a team has momentum

Spurs get no respect.

[Avitus1]

Manu!

[Velo]

It is Salvatore. That means home court and High Foul calls for the LOLMavs.

[RedRaider]

There we go manu

[PublicOption]

pop will always shoot a lot of 3's to offset the refs especially on the road......if you make them you win, if you don't you lose.

that life in the stern NBA.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice move by Manu..

[DPG21920]

Damn, good look by Manu, just did not fall. Spurs just look really slow.

[angelbelow]

Foul!

[boutons_deux]

Mavs shooting 25%, and have the lead :(

[ffadicted]

Mavs with some good defense early

[Technique]

bro these refs

[TDfan2007]

refs calling everything

[DPG21920]

Spurs in the bonus next foul?

[RedRaider]

Lets get a few fouls on erica

[Whisky Dog]

Butler's a bitch. I hope he gets lit up and hurt, not injured. Just takes shots and feels the pain.

[biziofromdowntown]

Tony in

[timvp]

So far I'm surprised that Pop has Hill on Kidd. Hill must be hurting.

[angelbelow]

lol too fancy for bulter

[jag]

Dampier is such a ho

[Spurologist]

refs calling everything

yep both ways

[angelbelow]

Jet coming in

[Avitus1]

Dammit

[Tp9gospursgo]

Duncan needs to go at Dirk when hes on him.

[RedRaider]

i hate that dirk shot

[Mr.Robinson]

Mavs with some good defense early

Tim looks soft.

[ginobme]

Duncan looks like just another guy out there WTF

[AnthonyM]

Good defense by McDyess...near perfect....

Can't do anythign about that

[DPG21920]

Come on Tim. Get comfortable. What a shot by Dirk. That was great defense by Dice. Have to live with that.

[timvp]

New Orleans Duncan? :depressed

[Technique]

lol parker, wrong way

[TDfan2007]

Tim used to make that shot in his sleep.

WTF dirk?

[Avitus1]

Yay, Bonner :-/

[timvp]

Please hit your first shot, Bonner.

Please?

[DPG21920]

Hill has not looked good and TP has not exactly provided the energy needed from his new role.

[angelbelow]

mav fans are posting in the nba forum?

[Libri]

Come on Bonner, step up to the plate.

[Technique]

watching duncan hurts

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan looks like shit so far..turnovers and short misses..

[Biggems]

dirk traveled on that last shot...he set his left foot as the pivot then switched it to the right foot, all after he stopped his dribble...it was a clear travel

[Mr.Robinson]

Good defense by McDyess...near perfect....

Can't do anythign about that

Looks like Dirk will go for 30.

[dbestpro]

TD is off. Not a good sign.

[AnthonyM]

It looks like Duncan has no confidence that he can be quicker than someone in the post right now...

Gotta throw that spin move in there

[duncan228]

New Orleans Duncan? :depressed

:( Don't know what to think yet.

[phxspurfan]

I'm pretty sure Oliver Miller could D up Timmy right now.

[boutons_deux]

Tim's shots aren't even in the cylinder. way off

[angelbelow]

Nice.. parker getting a bunch of calls early

[NewJerSpur]

Tony's got to start getting aggressive offensively.

[Mr.Robinson]

dirk traveled on that last shot...he set his left foot as the pivot then switched it to the right foot, all after he stopped his dripple...it was a clear travel

Dirk always does that.

[sammy]

What's wrong with Timmy?

[DPG21920]

Great job on helping out on the boards Bon Bon. TP really has to provide that spark and be the man off of the bench. Especially if Hill is going to look so bad.

[Technique]

arf

[Avitus1]

Come on Tim turn on the intensity.

[ffadicted]

Oh come on Bogans, you gotta finish that

[angelbelow]

Should of dunked that bogans..

[VBM]

Centerpiece blows the layup

[RedRaider]

Nice layup miss there

[AnthonyM]

come on Bogans thats a fucking gimme

[HarlemHeat37]

Bogans needs to make that, come on..

[Sigz]

Bogans is shit.

[jag]

Get Keith Bogans out of the fuckin game!

[CFH]

Come on Bogans...

[gaKNOW!blee]

fuckin bogans

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice bonner

[DPG21920]

Bogans, you have to finish.

[NewJerSpur]

Great double on Dirk.

[timvp]

Good D, Bonner.

[ShoogarBear]

Holy crap, Bogans

[m33p0]

can't buy a basket... dang.

[Spurologist]

BOGANS.....missed layup sigh

[Mr.Robinson]

Tony's got to start getting aggressive offensively.

Fucking Bogans is aggressive but misses the open lay up.

[BillMc]

Its early Tim will find his zone.

[biziofromdowntown]

Fuck u bogans

[angelbelow]

Money on bonner to make his first wide open 3

[Biggems]

finally Duncan shows up

[BanditHiro]

fuck we are getting tons of stops but no scores

[Technique]

yay...

[DPG21920]

There you go Tim.

[CFH]

Timmay!!!

[ffadicted]

How the fuck are Kidd and Terry containing Hill and Parker.... come on

[Whisky Dog]

Defense looks good. Need offensive execution.

[duncan228]

Maybe that gets Duncan going.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TD!

[Avitus1]

Timmy!

[phxspurfan]

Spurs seem out of it on O. Dallas is actually playing good defense and makign Tm catch the ball way out there

[angelbelow]

ahh geez

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan, Parker and Hill all look off..

[Libri]

Damn Parker's TO.

[DPG21920]

Wow, big 3 is looking pretty bad. Still in it though.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Timmyy

[NewJerSpur]

Get'em TIMMY!!!!

[AnthonyM]

duncan is getting comfortable...

[phxspurfan]

There we go, get it within 7 feet and Duncan's got this ish

[CFH]

TD again, good deal. :D

[duncan228]

Duncan waking up...*fingerscrossed*

[01Snake]

Both squads look like shit thus far.

[Mr.Robinson]

finally Duncan shows up

Let's go Tim!

[boutons_deux]

OK, Tim finding the bucket

[timvp]

The oil in Duncan's knees is warming up.

[sammy]

God Dork is the ugliest motherf'er!

[TDfan2007]

Tim just needs to get in rhythm.

Defense has been great. Offense...not so much. Tony looks 10 different kinds of lost.

[scottspurs]

Bogans needs to ride the pine.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I'm happy to see Bogans and not Mason

Yeah its just a shame that Bogans sucks asshole too

way to blow a wide open layup




Why does it always seem like we give the Mavs the easiest freakin buckets and we struggle to get into a rhythm

dammit

[superjames1992]

Good defense out there.

Bonner and Bogans have done a good job on Dirk since they came in.

[Spurologist]

I'll be happy to see Kidd take jumpshots all game long

[DPG21920]

Spurs not playing well, but still hanging tough. Spurs have to do a better job on the boards. They are getting crushed there. They have to attack more and put on the pressure.

Hopefully this is just rust.

[DAF86]

Wow, big 3 is looking pretty bad. Still in it though.

Manu looks pretty good so far, imho.

[timvp]

The Spurs desparately need a couple three-pointers to hit bottom.

[HarlemHeat37]

We really need Parker and/or Hill to bring some energy, they both look slow out there..that's a crucial key for this series, Spurs need penetration..

[itzsoweezee]

I'm loving the defense by the Spurs so far. Just need some better decisions on the offensive end.

[Blackjack]

That was one of the best post moves I've seen from Timmy in years; no shit . . .

Hopefully that's a harbinger of things to come and a sign of where his health is.

[angelbelow]

Maybe that gets Duncan going.

hopefully..

[TampaDude]

Just got home...good to see Hill is okay.

Timmy starting to come alive now.

Let's win this!!!

[nadroj117]

We're fine, just need to settle down and just keep going down to Timmy. Manu is gonna take over in the 2nd.

[lefty]

Godammit TP get your shit together

Bogans you dumb SOB cant even lay it up

[Spurs Brazil]

TD doing a good job on the boards

3 guard rotation with TP/Hill and Manu make me damn happy

[jag]

Get Jefferson back in the game, run some pnr's and get him to the bucket.

[Ice009]

come on TP stay aggressive. I love that TP is looking for teammates, but don't forget to play your game. SHRED THEM TP. ATTACK at will.

[Biggems]

the Spurs are turning it over far too much

[sammy]

Let's Go Spurs!

[DPG21920]

Yeah, the Spurs have just stagnated a little on offense.

[phxspurfan]

Early returns tell me the Spurs aren't used to playing together again since Tony got back and Hill is slowed by the ankle. They will have to come together (again) pretty quick to stay in these games against one of the league's best.

[Whisky Dog]

Rebounding is going to be big. So far so good with the big lineup

[NewJerSpur]

It's times like this I'm glad the Mavs shipped off Josh Howard. When everyone else on Dallas struggled, he seemed to bridge them over until guys got hot.

[boutons_deux]

Tony doesn't look alert, aggressive.

[peskypesky]

Spurs playing like shit and still almost tied.

[lefty]

the Spurs are turning it over far too much
Yep

We cant do that against a team that is run by Jason Kidd

[Budkin]

Getting sloppy out there Spurs... tighten that shit up.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

come on red rocket...

[Avitus1]

We need to find a 3 point shot!

[angelbelow]

I hope haywood complains after todays game about not starting.

[timvp]

F'ing Bonner.

[jag]

Can't leave kidd open...

[Spursmania]

Bonner the usual when it counts suckage!

[DPG21920]

Shit, Bonner with a good look and soft bounce, but no luck. Have to guard Kidd from 3.

[sammy]

Pinche Bonner throws a brick!

[HarlemHeat37]

Hill and Parker both look like role players out there..both passive..

[VBM]

grab the ball Duncan

[Rummpd]

Bs

[Tp9gospursgo]

C'mon timmy

[CFH]

Damn, another TO...

[angelbelow]

TD is struggling a bit..

[ffadicted]

Oh come on TImmy....

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK Parker, don't leave Kidd open

SHIT

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, we look a bit rusty.

[DPG21920]

Wow, Tim.

[boutons_deux]

TOs, ugh

[Spursmania]

Duncan's 3rd turnover?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

okay i rarely say this but duncan is playing like fucking shit what the hell is he doing out there

[AnthonyM]

That was one of the best post moves I've seen from Timmy in years; no shit . . .

Hopefully that's a harbinger of things to come and a sign of where his health is.

Yeah, I said earlier he looked like he wasn't confident to be quciker than anyone in the post...

Then he came back with that nice spin then hook shot...

Hopefully he keeps that up

[lefty]

I'll be happy to see Kidd take jumpshots all game long
Come again?

[RedRaider]

Bonner can't do the one thing he's advertised to be able to do.

HIT A FUCKING 3

[alchemist]

tony over dribbles, he's had Tim wide open twice.

[timvp]

Save us, DeJuan.

[Mr.Robinson]

Duncan waking up...*fingerscrossed*

3 TO's.

[Ice009]

Wow, big 3 is looking pretty bad. Still in it though.

You're looking like a genius.

Pop should have played all 3 in that last game against Dallas like you said, if not sit them all.

ANOTHER BAD TURNOVER FROM TIM.

Come on Timmy.

[RedRaider]

Bonner can't do the one thing he's advertised to be able to do.

HIT A FUCKING 3

[boutons_deux]

DJB gets this playoff baptism

[angelbelow]

shit

[PBEEZY]

3 turnovers already for timmy:bang

[biziofromdowntown]

3tos for Timmy. shit

[Libri]

Unleash the Beast!

[Technique]

fml

[Spursmania]

Kidd showing Parker how it's done.
