[Spurologist]

Blair with the slam!!!!!

[Libri]

The Beeeeeaaast!!

[nadroj117]

The beast!!!!!! Wow

[DPG21920]

Good defense, but the rebounding is bad. Spurs are doing all the wrong things in the cats they can least afford it right now. Haywood is dominating inside.

[TDfan2007]

lol Haywood PWNing us...

[spurspokesman]

No acls my ass. Levitation

[biziofromdowntown]

Blaiiiirrr

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

GRIZZLAH dunk!!!

[TampaDude]

Damn, Blair's dunk rattled the windows in Houston! :lol

[dbestpro]

blair cannot front Haywood.

[AnthonyM]

Blair with a good dunk...

then comes back and gives up position on D...

[mother]

Fucking beast!!1

[Spursmania]

This is Blair's 4th foul?

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair great dunk, bad foul

[Ice009]

Great energy from Blair with a HUGE JAM, but bad defense.

[sammy]

Wow, no free throws for the Spurs and these fuckers get every call!

[timvp]

Holy grandmother of Jesus.

[DPG21920]

Very quality minutes from Blair. Good sign.

[HarlemHeat37]

Fronting Haywood is just stupid..the guy barely has a post game, take your chances..

[lefty]

Blair and Brendan shitting on each other

[EmptyMan]

Bam son.


Bam.

[Technique]

there we go

[Tp9gospursgo]

No one can stop Manu

[Manudona]

Looks as if Manu will play 40+ minutes

[EmptyMan]

Bonner pls go.

[CFH]

Manu just shit all over em. :lol

[itzsoweezee]

Dejuan fronting isn't a good idea.

[DPG21920]

So many fouls

[NewJerSpur]

That was a reach in foul on Haywood on Manu's drive. Should've been an and-1.

[TDfan2007]

Bonner GTFO

[Spurs Brazil]

wtf with those weak calls

[WildcardManu]

what the fuck is this foul fest

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

srsly....hill gotta be mad by what he had done so far

[jag]

These refs are letting their whistles go in a very one-sided way

[gaKNOW!blee]

dont let bonner come back in

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Spectator D by Dirkette on that manu drive

[Libri]

Manu with a quick drive to the basket.

[Otaku]

I hate Haywood's attitude. Too cocky, Garnett-like.

[dbestpro]

Ticky tack call on Bonner. Please someone tell the Refs this is the playoffs.

[Spursmania]

That's what Ginobili should keep doing.
Fuck another foul on the Spurs?:bang

[lefty]

Who left Butler wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open ??????

[WildcardManu]

Parker got his shot going

[Tp9gospursgo]

Tp is playing good right now.

[Spurologist]

TP J is on!!!!

[SpurAddict561]

wow they callin some bullshit

[NewJerSpur]

Butler<Howard.

Get it going Tony.

[jdev82]

the fix is on. still no fts for spurs

[CFH]

TP still hitting shots

[Technique]

what is this bullshit

[DPG21920]

Get the lead. Get over the hump.

Edit: Nevermind with that Dirk trash.

[TampaDude]

Gotta respect Dirk's game...

[Spursmania]

Ticky tack call on Bonner. Please someone tell the Refs this is the playoffs.


No shit. Let them play a little bit. What a ridiculous shot by Nowitski...

[dirk4mvp]

Dirk owns this team.

[AnthonyM]

Lmao wow dirk...

Carlisle screaming for a foul...gtfo...

I'm loving Dice's D on Dirk so far...

[Sir Loin]

dirk has it going

[gaKNOW!blee]

dirks not gonna fucking miss

[SpurAddict561]

lmao dirk just throwin shit up that goes wow

[DPG21920]

Dirk is amazing.

[ffadicted]

Fuck Nowitzki's hot

[EmptyMan]

It's disrespectful to put Little Burrito on this court.

Seriously Jim Carey...

[lefty]

TP making some shots is not a good sign

That means Pop will give him more minutes :pctoss

[m33p0]

as badly as the spurs are playing... they're only down 3.

[TDfan2007]

Dirk owns us...it's so pathetic and sad. No matter what he throws up, it goes in.

[SpurAddict561]

keep hittin timmy these mafuckas cant stop him

[VBM]

dirks not gonna fucking miss

Has he ever missed against us?

[Tp9gospursgo]

what is a weiner schnitzel?

[Libri]

Pop smells a Dallas run. Good time out.

[Manudona]

Dirk can't miss today

[01Snake]

Does Dirk ever play defense?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim hasn't used that move much at all this year - saved it for the playoffs.

How fucking biased are these refs!!!???

[CFH]

Dirk's just hitting everything

[hitmanyr2k]

Dirk and Ginobili show so far. At least we have a game where it's not a blowout in the first half.

[timvp]

Dirk already on fire. Didn't even give us one half of one game.

[Drachen]

does Dirk really have to shoot 90% against us every damn game?

[jestersmash]

dirk nowinski: 14 points, 6-7
manu ginobili: 13 points, 6-8

this game's going to be won or lost by the other players

[Spurs Brazil]

Dirk killing us. Dice needs to do a better job denying him the ball

[ginobme]

Dirk owns this team.

Dirk owns NO rings.

[VBM]

as badly as the spurs are playing... they're only down 3.

Don't worry...Mason's been saving his 3s for the playoffs.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

dirk is better off fading away on EVERYTHING real talk

[AnthonyM]

Let Dirk get his points...too hard to stop

Just don't start doubling and throwing everything at him...

At least, not until the 4th

[Blackjack]

According to Sean, Dirk got some of DeJuan's wienerschnitzel. :lol

[jag]

TP making some shots is not a good sign

That means Pop will give him more minutes :pctoss

Your takes are shit

[SpurAddict561]

relax

Spurs always let one guy go off

see Amare, LeBroom series

chill out...let Dirk go wild, as long as we hold off the others we're good..let him go for 50

[Ice009]

Well the defense on Dirk kinda sucks these last couple of possessions. Dirk is heating up. Lets cool him off.

[Death In June]

That fat cunt RJ needs to retire after the playoffs.

[pking]

what is a weiner schnitzel?

lmao

[Amarelooms]

GET JJ OUTTTTTTTTTTT...where the FUCCK IS KIDD

:elephant

[siraulo23]

the bank shot by dirk, was actually pretty easy for him, no hand in the face

2nd one was wide open~

dirk is on fire

[bigdog]

Come on Spurs.

[Mr.Robinson]

Fronting Haywood is just stupid..the guy barely has a post game, take your chances..

Has no post game. Blair won't see anymore minutes this half.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

does Dirk really have to shoot 90% against us every damn game?

It's the blind supreme confidence


they have no doubt in their minds they can beat us, it makes dirk play at a really high level


even the tough shots he hits with ease

[NewJerSpur]

We're still playing good defense on Dirk and no one else outside of Haywood is really contributing....I'll live with that.

[Spursmania]

If this game is close at the end, Dirk will bring it home with the foul calls or shots like that...

The Spurs don't have answer for the German. He's showing off too because Crystal is watching him from jail.

[EmptyMan]

that blair dunk was siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

[BillMc]

How fucking biased are these refs!!!???

Completely biased...

[DPG21920]

Neither team is playing great, but like I said, the Mavs seem to be winning the more important categories. Spurs have to change that.

[Drachen]

We need to distract him with a Hasselhoff CD burning party.

[lefty]

Your takes are shit
If they bother you that much, just go buy some fucking rose scented Febreze

[biziofromdowntown]

damn, break Dirks ankle please

[bbarry]

Spurs 0 FTs but shooting over 53%. Mavs had like almost 10 FTs already but shooting poorly due to Spurs defense. That is the difference of this game.

[superjames1992]

Dirk is just doin' work out there. I don't know if there's any way to defend what he's doing out there.

[DPG21920]

It's the blind supreme confidence


they have no doubt in their minds they can beat us, it makes dirk play at a really high level


even the tough shots he hits with ease

This is true. Even though it is not something you can quantify, you can see it.

[Spurologist]

I'm for doubling Dirk.....gotta make someone else make shots. That's being, there's always a stretch where his misses several shots

[gaKNOW!blee]

Dirk and championship aspirations?

LMFAO

[badfish22]

Just checking in real quick.

1. Dirk raping the team hes supposed to rape
2. I like Carons aggressiveness
3. Haywood and Damp playing great
4. Manus owning
5. Blair is owning

[Ice009]

Dirk owns this team.

Dirk is great, but why does he chuck a hissy fit anytime there is even slight contact?

[dbestpro]

9 fouls on the Spurs, 5 for Dallas

San Antonio without a foul shot, yet we have been attacking the basket.

At least they have not given Dirk a foul call for every flop and flail.

[DPG21920]

Dirk out, so now the Spurs have to punish the Mavs.

[jag]

If if that bothers you that much, just go buy some fucking rose scented Febreze

It doesn't bother me that your takes are shit. It should, however, bother you.

[spurspokesman]

Dallas is A very deep team. But still beatable

[TampaDude]

Timmay!!!!!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice pass tp

[Technique]

tp feed to td, classic

[CFH]

Duncan with the jam

[Spurs Brazil]

TD dunk

[Spurologist]

TP to TD for the dunk on the pick and roll....NICE

[Cant_Be_Faded]

This is true. Even though it is not something you can quantify, you can see it.

its one of the most dangeorus things about this mavs team

[DPG21920]

Spurs have not been attacking, what are you watching?

[Drachen]

According to Sean, Dirk got some of DeJuan's wienerschnitzel. :lol

according to sean? is this game on something other than TNT?

[gospursgojas]

Dirk is out...time to stifle them on d and go on a run

[NewJerSpur]

Butler<<<Howard.

[TDfan2007]

Now THAT is how you run the pick n roll

[EmptyMan]

Dice looking damn good

[MavsCat]

damn, break Dirks ankle please

Wow, talk about not having any class.

[ShoogarBear]

Is Richard Jefferson on the playoff roster?

[VBM]

Thanks for the jinx, Stockton.

[Libri]

Take advantage of those poor Dallas rotations.

[BRHornet45]

sons lets so Spurs! go Spurs go! beat those choking va jay jays in blue!

[Technique]

nice pass....

[lefty]

It doesn't bother me that your takes are shit. It should, however, bother you.
So why did you comment on them in the 1st place?

[VBM]

and dammit tony...the hell kinda pass was that

[AnthonyM]

Parker doesn't know what a lob pass is...

[TampaDude]

Jesus fucking christ, Parker!!!

[EmptyMan]

Even Little Burrito is getting calls


FML!

[Spursmania]

Parker making the hasty and stupid decisions.

[NewJerSpur]

BS call. JJ tripping over air. Terrible pass by TP.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Barea tripped on his own foot

[TDfan2007]

wow...

[siraulo23]

damn, another missed opportunity tp

[Amarelooms]

GET JJ OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT....wtffffffffffffffffffffff

:elephant

[LakerHater]

Trips on his on foot!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Tony, DAMN

[senorglory]

5:20 to go before the half fighting for the tie/lead, we have our best team in the game: mcd, parker, manu, rj, TD-- pop doing a good job with minutes/matchups.

[gospursgojas]

TONY! Plays like that are the ones you need to make to win championships....every play counts!

[ffadicted]

Haywood is DESTROYING us in the offensive board, why is he getting such low positioning

[spurspokesman]

Were getting murked on the glass

[DPG21920]

Haywood's length is killing us.

[Spurologist]

Box haywood the fuck out

[WildcardManu]

brenda killing us with the clean ups around the basket

[CFH]

TD has got it going.

[NewJerSpur]

Tim is OWNING in the paint tonight.

[Technique]

haywood setting up camp down the post

[jag]

So why did you comment on them in the 1st place?

I wanted you to know how bad you suck. don't be a bitch

[itzsoweezee]

gay gay with the flop

[longhorn]

JJ trips and a foul is called on Tony...what a joke.

[Spursmania]

Duncan has got to take over this fucking game!!! Once he gets going, Manu and Parker can let loose. Spread the floor guys.

[LakerHater]

WHoa, first free throws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow! We are going to the line! What a revelation!

[DPG21920]

Rebounding is a serious issue. If the Spurs manage to keep it close this half, they will need to win the rebounding in the 2nd to have any chance to win.

[Ice009]

Come on TP please make your fts all post season, please Tp.

[lefty]

I wanted you to know how bad you suck. don't be a bitch
Coming form you, that cant hurt :lmao

[Spurs Brazil]

Butler is killing Jefferson, KILLING

WAKE UP

[Tp9gospursgo]

First free throws of the game.

[HarlemHeat37]

It's pretty clear that TP is not only missing some of his speed, but he's missing his balance and ability to finish creatively at the rim..

[gaKNOW!blee]

finally get to the line

[jag]

Is Richard Jefferson on the playoff roster?
They need to run some screens for him and get him to the rim....get him to the line.

[Blackjack]

A free throw attempt! : elephant

[phxspurfan]

I think I have 2 fouls on me and I'm not in the game.

[Libri]

Keep feeding it to Tim. He's getting good position in the paint.

[DPG21920]

Shit, Dirk only has to rest 1 minute a half?

[Spursmania]

Spurs first free throw of the game? That is fucking ridiculous.

[jag]

Coming form you, that cant hurt :lmao

cool

[WildcardManu]

How many times has it been a 1 point game? Gotta get over that hump

[Dex]

Spurs 1st Free Throw at 3:57 in the 2nd quarter.

I don't want to hear a single Mav fan bitching about the officiating again.

[Amarelooms]

fuck finally....this shit coach is going to cost us...watch and see :elephant

[CFH]

TP 2/2 from the line.

[TDfan2007]

CROFL RJ almost missing Tim down low. That was damn near 3 seconds.

YAY we get FTs!

Defense slipping a bit here.

[BillMc]

Jefferson, Hill and Bonner 0 points so far...

[AnthonyM]

Wow, 2 FT attempts in the half...Dallas had 6 FTs in 3 mins

[timvp]

Oh I didn't know there was a free throw line on the other side of the court.

[ffadicted]

Fuggin TOs

[itzsoweezee]

Big three playing well. Need just one other guy to step up. Hill, Jefferson, Bonner, one of you guys have to do SOMETHING.

[Mr.Robinson]

Shit, Dirk only has to rest 1 minute a half?

Butler looking like Dirk out there.

[SpurAddict561]

first time at the line 22 minutes into the game, wow....

[NewJerSpur]

What is it with these TO's?

[ShoogarBear]

Another fing turnover

[Sir Loin]

Come on tim

[DPG21920]

Mavs already have 3 guys in double figures. Caron has had a very good offensive game. That is not good.

[Spurologist]

TD now has Nazr's hands....WTF????

[senorglory]

Butler looking good for the Mavs, today. Good pickup for their roster.

[sammy]

Fuck Parker stop throwing the ball to Duncan in traffic! Fuck!

[WildcardManu]

same move

[LakerHater]

That woulda been a foul for Dirk!

[HarlemHeat37]

Tim's hands have been horrible tonight..very uncharacteristic..

RJ has been horrible..Butler isn't that good, RJ has the physical tools to match up..

[CFH]

Another turnover, come on...

[TampaDude]

Caron kicking our ass right now.

[ShoogarBear]

Another fing turnover

[spurspokesman]

RJ has no heart.WOW.

[SpurAddict561]

tmmy is hurting us with TOs

[AnthonyM]

Oh come on, let the teams scramble to get a fucking loose ball

[Spurologist]

TO! :pctoss TO!

[Spurs Brazil]

Jefferson is ULTRA soft

[Whisky Dog]

Ich hasse, dass Esel Dirk

[longhorn]

This is looking fuckin' pathetic..

[benefactor]

Butler is looking like the new Josh Howard.

[Death In June]

Buterfingers dice, kill yourself.

[G-Nob]

so far no answer for c-but

[Mr.Robinson]

first time at the line 22 minutes into the game, wow....

Fucking Manu.

[superjames1992]

Damn all these turnovers!!!

[gospursgojas]

Spurs have become just HORRIBLE at closing out qtrs and halfs

[DPG21920]

Another turn over that leads to FT's. Lead is about to balloon to where it should be with losing rebounding, to's and FT's.

[Shastafarian]

Why do all the mavs players, sans kidd, look like they just took the raunchiest shit after they make a play?

[Borosai]

Sloppy.

[Spurologist]

Fuck Parker stop throwing the ball to Duncan in traffic! Fuck!

that was a perfect pass. TD didn't handle it.....That was manu

[Ice009]

Spurs are playing VERY FUCKING POORLY.

COME ON GUYS STEP THE FUCK UP. STOP PLAYING SOFT OUT THERE.

[SpurAddict561]

we're bout to give the game up here in the last 2 minutes...sad

[alchemist]

Tim with terrible TO's.

[scottspurs]

ginobili has to take care of the ball.

[Libri]

10 turnovers

[timtonymanu]

RJ's play is very discouraging. I hope this is not the RJ this team is gonna get.

[LakerHater]

10 Turnovers so far!

[m33p0]

fall-away-fade-away-jump-shooting team getting to the free throw line.

[Ice009]

Spurs are playing VERY FUCKING POORLY.

COME ON GUYS STEP THE FUCK UP. STOP PLAYING SOFT OUT THERE.

[Tp9gospursgo]

10 TO's and only down 5. We need to pick it up 2nd half. Especially Timmy. He's making silly mistakes right now.

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili has to be smarter than that. The Mavs are waiting on that pass. The Spurs do that play EVERY game. Fuck passing right now...just attack.

[WildcardManu]

fucking To's killing us

[dbestpro]

No one has control of the ball between Dice and Marion and Dice gets the call. Just more of the same.

[EmptyMan]

We just need the wonder twins to go OFF

Manu + Blair
Iron Man & War Machine sons

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Fuck this game. Outshooting the Mavs by 12% and still losing!?!?

It's gonna be great being down 20 once the FG%'s even out.

RJ needs to do something out there, our FT attempts this game have been pathetic

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Wow so essentially Mavs losing spurskiller josh howard makes no difference whatsoever in the matchup


:pctoss

why must we keep turning the damn ball over

[Death In June]

RJ has no heart.WOW.What'd you expect. That giant vagina was talking of opting out if they won a title before the playoffs started.

[NewJerSpur]

Manu getting careless with the basketball and telegraphing passes, he needs to keep driving. Butler starting to come alive a bit....if that continues I'd think about getting Bogans back out there. Jefferson looks out of sorts.

[timvp]

Frustrating. Only the Big Three came to play?

Fantastic.

[senorglory]

Butler is killing Jefferson, KILLING

WAKE UP

Seems Butler is beating whomever is on him, not just RJ.

[jag]

Whoever RJ guards, just straight up shits on him.

[benefactor]

This was my biggest worry. The Mavs just have too many weapons now that they have added Butler and Haywood.

[lefty]

Wow

If Manu and TD keep turning the ball over, we are in for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong night

[Death In June]

Only one free throw attempt in the half. Fuck these officials.

[HBS]

Spurs with 10 turnovers already. If we take care of the ball better in the 2nd half, we will be okay.

[Spurs Brazil]

Butler and Jefferson would be a key matchup and so far Butler is KILLING Jefferson

[SpurAddict561]

that KFC double down looks delicious oooooh

[Spursmania]

They are all playing by example. Duncan not playing crisp, turnovers, Parker not playing crisp either, Dice same thing. Turnovers-it's like a broken record.

It starts from the top. If they don't get their head out of their ass -this opportunity will be wasted.

[rapliketp]

Suffering suckitude Richard Jefferson, step it up!

[Death In June]

I hope pop trust blair for more than 5 minutes.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Man I hate Dirk

[timtonymanu]

Howard who? Spurs got themselves another killer.

[Ice009]

why is Dallas acting like they are tough? Giving dirty looks after each play.

Spurs need bruisers.

Tony Massenburg would KILL every player on this Dallas team then ask questions later.

Dallas goes in the fetal position against most other teams, but against the Spurs they're prancing around like they own us and we've been letting them do it.
