2010 Playoffs: Round 1, Game 2 - Spurs vs Mavs Game Blog

[angelbelow]

dice is playing dirk real well.

[Drachen]

4/14 for dirk? That has never happened against the spurs.

Oh, LOL "be careful Jason Terry stomping around"

[timvp]

McDyess MVP so far . . .

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

manu :worthy:

[Supergirl]

Manu: The Spur we WANT on the FT line

[Libri]

How about Dice. Looks like his still has some gas left in him.

[BigJoeD]

Man why couldn't they play like this all season. I guess being healthy helps.

[Mal]

Manu !

[slick'81]

lead is 17

[Crookshanks]

Manu doing it on both ends of the floor! Woo-Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheChillFactor]

Tbh this is what i expected in game 1.

[ezau]

yeah! Fuck you Kidd

[ffadicted]

Parkers one huge weakness is being a blackhole on offense sometimes and tossing up a contested J when he's feeling hot

[Beaverfuzz]

Sweep the leg spurs! Finish them!!!

[slick'81]

manu grads the board from haywood

[CFH]

T on Haywood.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

oh snap flg foul

[GSH]

When Dirky doesn't get his whistles, he's screwed.

[slick'81]

tech on dallas

[Killakobe81]

Manu is a warrior! what a rebound!!!

[timvp]

Mavs imploding?

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

RJ. That's how you do it!!

Yeah!!

[Spurs Brazil]

T on Haywood

[DesignatedT]

dallas is getting frustrated!!!! i love it

butler and haywood with no composure.. these guys dont know what real playoff basketball is about

[NewJerSpur]

LOLOL @ Dirk. Not used to being played "physically".

[Supergirl]

nice, it's official. Spurs are in the Mavs' heads.

[j.dizzle]

Dirk even playing today lmao, dude is MIA

[Mal]

There they go. Going brutal, so lame

[Ice009]

Great play Spurs.

[8FOR!3]

lol at the refs letting Dirk walk. Too bad he missed anyways.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

haywood got a dick head!

[slick'81]

lol haywood telling dirk to calm down rotflmao

[Spurologist]

Manu = New Planet

[Killakobe81]

what a rebound by Manu

you beat me to it ...the 3's are nice but helping an undersized team on the boards is crucial great work manu

[pawe]

Very impressive play from the Spurs tonight. Keep it up!

[oh crap]

Dirk even playing today lmao, dude is MIA

:lmao

some "superstar" he is

[Libri]

Mavs imploding?

I see some frustration.

[picc84]

Law of averages on Dirk. Between last game and today, he's averaged out to his regular self.

[CFH]

Spurs up by 20, hold the lead!!!

[slick'81]

lead is 20

[Beaverfuzz]

Don't think that was a flagrant foul but I'll take it. FUCK YOU MAVS YOU PIECES OF SHIT!

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Chokewitzky's on the bench.

We've got a 20 point lead.

Awesome

[ffadicted]

20 point lead folks.... Nowitski looks frustrated cuz he isn't getting the tick tack fouls he did last game

[GSH]

Manu and RJ make the FT's. Make em pay for that shit.

[Supergirl]

if we can take a 20 pt lead into the fourth quarter I think i might be able to relax.

[slick'81]

time out spurs up by 18

[oh crap]

this is fun. god i love watching the mavs go down in flames

[Crookshanks]

20 Point lead!!! So does Carlisle throw in the towel and get ready for Game 3?

[BanditHiro]

Don't think that was a flagrant foul but I'll take it. FUCK YOU MAVS YOU PIECES OF SHIT!

it wasn't Dirk was just whining to much

[resistanze]

:lol @ leg sweep

[timvp]

Got damn this is beautiful to watch.

Keep it up.

[Spurs Brazil]

We must finish strong those 3 minutes

[sammy]

Punk ass bitch Terry! I would love to see someone lay the wood on that bastard!

[oh crap]

lol skirt
lol choke again
lol "franchise" player

[Avitus1]

This is great!

[gaKNOW!blee]

does Jet fucking miss?

[Killakobe81]

JET is a spur killer you guys HAVE to stay on that bitch ...

I heard him on his Mavs show out here talking crap about Bowen ...ye si know Bruce is a bit dirty but isnt that what you call: "the pot calling the kettle black?"

[ffadicted]

if we can take a 20 pt lead into the fourth quarter I think i might be able to relax.


20 Point lead!!! So does Carlisle throw in the towel and get ready for Game 3?

I think you guys are forgetting how our bench plays in the playoffs...

[NewJerSpur]

20 point lead folks.... Nowitski looks frustrated cuz he isn't getting the tick tack fouls he did last game

Makes you wonder what type of game it would've been if we were allowed to play him straight up, the way Damp mawled Timmy.

[Spurologist]

I would love more shots of Cuban in the stands

[Ice009]

Gotta GET ON JASON TERRY.

[GSH]

20 point lead folks.... Nowitski looks frustrated cuz he isn't getting the tick tack fouls he did last game



When Dirky doesn't get those breathing fouls, he falls apart. And when he's cold shooting, he can't get back into rhythm without some free throws.

[01Snake]

Get RJ back into it!

[DesignatedT]

gotta keep this up guys. if anyone is capable of blowing this its definitely us.

[timvp]

Bonner is in. Please don't blow it, Bon-Bon.

[Supergirl]

can't wait till Blair snaps out of his rookie haze, then the Mavs will be in real trouble. I predict Blair will snap out of it once we're back home.

[ohmwrecker]

Where are all our Mavfan friends tonight?

[Drachen]

JET and DIRK = 70% FG% vs. Spurs . . . . . usually.

[Killakobe81]

:lol @ leg sweep

I chuckled at that too ...

"he is going to need a body bag!!!"

[NewJerSpur]

JET is a spur killer you guys HAVE to stay on that bitch ...

I heard him on his Mavs show out here talking crap about Bowen ...ye si know Bruce is a bit dirty but isnt that what you call: "the pot calling the kettle black?"

Indeed, and I'm glad the Mavs traded away their other Spur killer....the both of them on the floor at the same time was murder.

[Avitus1]

Where are the Mav trolls?

[picc84]

Whoever loses this series, there's going to be so many LMAO and CROFL's in the nba forum. :lol

[slick'81]

terry can score all he wants there still down 18

[Whisky Dog]

So far this has been poetry, a great job of execution with minimal mistakes. 15 minutes and 3 seconds left to keep this up to get the coveted split.

[Killakobe81]

i like dick stockton "the GREAT tim Duncan" look at those stats and SOME SPur fans say shaq WAS better ...bullshit!

[Brazil]

where are the mavs fans tonite ?

[NewJerSpur]

Caron hacked RJ, no call.

[TIMMYD!]

They seem to have messed up Tim's career stats, he has averaged 11.6 not 10.1 rebounds. But oh well, just finding another way to make Tim look bad.

[Horse]

We gotta keep it together, win or lose it's gonna be a long season

[Supergirl]

must be able to hold the lead without Duncan and Manu out. Ugh.

[DesignatedT]

hill looks like shit. give the ball to tony. fuck

[picc84]

Spurs trying to choke the lead away.

[Beaverfuzz]

Come on Spurs, settle down and take your time.

[CFH]

Back to back turnovers, wake up guys

[noles1983]

[slick'81]

gotta stay composed and close out this quarter

[ffadicted]

Alright guys, caaaaaaaaaaaalm down.

[Ice009]

Fuck.

[Spurs Brazil]

[Crookshanks]

Gotta keep up the pressure - Manu, Tim and RJ have to keep playing and they have to keep their cool and execute.

[Libri]

[TIMMYD!]

What a surprise, Tim goes out and so does everyone else mentally.

[qiuyizeng]

[BanditHiro]

Ginobili and tim go out = spurs start to fall apart

[anonoftheinternets]

[Brazil]

[TIMMYD!]

RJ needs to attack like he was earlier in the game.

[dbestpro]

Parker needs to take over with this group.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

where is the foul on dice?

[kuato]

Manu can actually guard Terry.

Manu can guard even his own shadow !

[slick'81]

timmy and manu back in

[jestersmash]

[Ice009]

OK Pop can't have Tim and Manu on the bench.

[Spurs Brazil]

[ffadicted]

Here it comes, thanks Pop.

lol you cant play your stars 45 minutes a game man

[slick'81]

lead is 14

[Supergirl]

TD and Manu should play the whole 4th

[Crookshanks]

Good - Pop is being smart tonight. Putting Timmy and Manu back in very quickly.

[slick'81]

[TIMMYD!]

Good a weird feeling about this...

[Ice009]

PATHETIC lineups POP.

POP is an asshole.

[Mal]

Damn

[ffadicted]

12 - 2, tony stops the bleeding

[Killakobe81]

Parker saves the day bad luck ...good hustle but left JET WIDE open ..

[timtonymanu]

We're really screwed with this fuckin horrible bench.

[Pistons < Spurs]

better shut down this run....

[slick'81]

10 point game

[ohmwrecker]

here comes the mavs
This sucks.

[Death In June]

Wow, you just knew that was going to happen. Not bonners fault, but im going to blame him anyway. Piece of shit.

[oh crap]

Fuck.

:wow

[resistanze]

meltdown

[angelbelow]

at least we stopped the bleeding.

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice defense there at the end. Need to box out better.

[CFH]

That was such an ugly end to the quarter, good lord...

[slick'81]

4th quarter here we go

[DesignatedT]

Here it comes, thanks Pop.

wtf are you talking about?

[picc84]

Awwww shit we got a game now!

[Admidave50]

Fuck fuck fuck!! 12 straight points!!!!

[Mal]

Oh, Pop....

[Spurologist]

TP with the clutchest shot of the game there. Gotta calm down and close this shit out

[8FOR!3]

Good last 30 seconds Spurs. Parker steps up and then we played good D. Bad end to the quarter though, damn.

[timvp]

Son of a b!i2e3roienOFD

[Horse]

The no-call on Manu was so fucking unbelievable guess stern gave the call to atleast make it interesting if no fuck the Spurs all together.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i thought it was a bad bad TO by pop at 80-62

[m33p0]

way to make it exciting.

[dbestpro]

Dallas played defense for the first time in the game. Can they do it for a full quarter.

[benefactor]

Well that sucked.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice defensive sequence and props to the refs for not falling for Dirk's flailing. Hopefully that was the extent of the Mav's run and we get back to extending the lead. We get the ball to start the 4th.

[angelbelow]

meltdown

:lol

[TheChillFactor]

Fucking hill blair and bonner suck ass right now.

[Killakobe81]

Dude JET is the one killingyou guys tonight NOT Dirk ...do not leave that dycksuck!

[sammy]

Fucking Pop, taking out Manu, Dice & Timmy and they collapse! Damn jackass! Why is Bonner in the game? He sucks!

[ffadicted]

This is basketball folks.. teams make runs. 12 minutes left, time to see if we have any heart to stay with it, still a 10 point game our favor. It's all about how we respond, this is what champs are made of

GO SPURS GO

[timtonymanu]

We cant rest our stars because of our deadweight bench.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 10 after the 3rd

Key mistakes

Back to back TOs and TP didn't touch the ball

TP leave Kidd open again from 3

[8FOR!3]

Wow, you just knew that was going to happen. Not bonners fault, but im going to blame him anyway. Piece of shit.

I blame Bogans.

[Death In June]

Where was the time out?

[itzsoweezee]

spurs got lackadaisical

damnit

[Amuseddaysleeper]

not a great end to the quarter but we still got a 10 point lead. You knew Dallas was going to go on a run.

4th quarter we got get to the FT line and put them in the penalty early.

Spurs got this, gotta play less Bonner though

[Ice009]

Pop cannot play Bonner. He has to play Blair or someone else. He just can't play Bonner, Mason Jr. or any of those players.

[slick'81]

lol timmy trying a full court shot in passing technique


lol it was an outlet shot

[DesignatedT]

once pop saw them cut it from 20-15 he put the starters back in.. how is that his fault. he cant play the fucking starters all game. some of you are ridiculous

[Killakobe81]

We're really screwed with this fuckin horrible bench.

Join the club!!! LOL

[TIMMYD!]

We've missed 8 FTs, hope one of those doesn't come back to bite us in the ass.

[Libri]

At least the Spurs have a cushion but they need to keep attacking.

[Supergirl]

Spurs can get away with Manu and Tim playing the whole 4th tonight - and they SHOULD do it - but over the course of the series, Hill, Blair, and Mason are gonna have to step up and be able to hold down the fort better when they're out. They had a 20 pt lead, down to 10, in a span of about 2-3 minutes. NOT ACCEPTABLE.

[007nites]

Keep our calm here.

[BanditHiro]

Started once Bonner came in.

not his fault though guard play diminished

[picc84]

Well the good thing is Terry and Dirk played the entire 3rd quarter they have to rest at some period.

They doing that now, son.

[Whisky Dog]

Fucking Horrible. 2nd unit relaxed and mav stepped up. No call where butler fouled Jefferson led to that run. Have to get that lead back up to 16 to 20 here in the first 5 min of the quarter.

[kuato]

Just give the ball to Manu !!

[DesignatedT]

Fucking Pop, taking out Manu, Dice & Timmy and they collapse! Damn jackass! Why is Bonner in the game? He sucks!

tony hill rj should be more than enough to sustain a lead while manu and duncan get a much needed rest. you cant play the starters 48 fucking minutes. this isnt NBA Live

[Ice009]

Started once Bonner came in.

Exactly. Exactly what I said.

You can't play him at all.

[cd98]

Spurs collapsing in third? Surprising.

[Spurs Brazil]

Give the ball to Manu and he'll win this game for us

[picc84]

If the Spurs cant win the 4th spotted 10 points and the ball they dont deserve to win.

[j.dizzle]

god damn even blowouts are entertaining as fuck in the western conf playoffs hahaa

[anonoftheinternets]

tony hill rj should be more than enough to sustain a lead while manu and duncan get a much needed rest. you cant play the starters 48 fucking minutes. this isnt NBA Live

hill was trying to be aggressive ... picked a terrible time ot try ... PO bball is not hte same as regular season bballl ...

[slick'81]

all season spurs have melted down in the 4th lets quit that shit right here right now

[DAF86]

tony hill rj should be more than enough to sustain a lead while manu and duncan get a much needed rest. you cant play the starters 48 fucking minutes. this isnt NBA Live

You can't bench your two best players at the same time.

[Avitus1]

Gotta hang on, gotta play D, gotta move the ball, Go Spurs Go!

[HarlemHeat37]

Pop isn't at fault here, he actually made a good decision by bringing Duncan and Manu in once Dallas made a run..

A run was INEVITABLE..Dallas is too good not to make a run at the end..it's all about how the Spurs respond now, have to score early and take the momentum back..it's doable, but this team obviously has a bad history when it comes to blowing leads..

Pop needs to do with McDyess over Bonner, and Duncan-Manu should play the entire quarter or close to it IMO..

[Supergirl]

come on Spurs, let's go. Lock 'em down for 12 more minutes.

[mexicanjunior]

All those missed free throws are going to cost us this game...gave up way too much in that last 2-3 minutes of the 3rd. How do any of those effing shooting coaches keep their job on this team? Even players that were good elsewhere come in absolutely sucking from the free throw line.

[Ice009]

tony hill rj should be more than enough to sustain a lead while manu and duncan get a much needed rest. you cant play the starters 48 fucking minutes. this isnt NBA Live

Mavs played their guys the entire quarter. Pop just can't keep resting players like he does in the regular season.

[Refocus]

RJ needs to come back for the 4th.. aghghdghdkldhgdlkgrhr

[Mal]

We need strong start of this Q

[NewJerSpur]

Props to the Mavs for tightening the overall defense to end the half. We can't start turning the ball over now. Got to get back to executing.

[slick'81]

spurs ball

[qiuyizeng]

what's the fuck up? hill?

[Killakobe81]

Pop has to get them some rest but I would try to keep 2 of RJ, Parker Tim and Manu onteh court at all times Perffered would be Manu and RJ together and tony and Tim ...

Then close out with ALL 4 ...

[The Truth #6]

Someone outside the 3 needs to step up.

[j.dizzle]

first 5 minutes will make it or break it...Mavs are either gonna get within 4-6 or sA will push the lead to 15+

[CFH]

Manu to Duncan

[slick'81]

gino to timmy

[NewJerSpur]

What a pass by Manu!!!

[timvp]

Got damn good pass Manu.

[oh crap]

duncan

[ffadicted]

Good start, get a stop here, shut down any hope

[Libri]

Wow, how did Manu find Tim!?

[cd98]

Stay hungry Spurs. You need to win this quarter. Your season hangs on this next 12 minutes.

[angelbelow]

looks like duncan and manu might have to play the entire 4th. unless we build up a 25+ pt lead.

[Spurologist]

Bonner with a rebound. He's done something

[Crookshanks]

Mavs got some lucky breaks at the end of the 3rd - glad the quarter ended before they got more momentum. Play hard these first few minutes of the 4th and we should win.

[NewJerSpur]

Keep shooting Dallas.....

[pawe]

Slow it down TP!

[picc84]

The quarter ending was the worst thing that could have happened to the mavs. :lol

[timvp]

TP keep dem eyes open.

[NewJerSpur]

Finally a foul on Caron the Hacker.

[slick'81]

tony missed manu there but a foul on dallas

[Rummpd]

about time they call a foul! BS these refs

[BanditHiro]

Bonner with a rebound. He's done something

he also made two three!!!

[Cherry]

Timy :)

[Mal]

Calm down. Don`t rush

[slick'81]

brick

[RedRaider]

dammit dirk

[ffadicted]

fuck bon-bon...

[Death In June]

Can't get much more wide open than that, bonner.

[Ice009]

fcking choke from Bonner

[oh crap]

10 point game

[NewJerSpur]

Nice shot Dirk.

[GSH]

That last layup Tim made, he caught a strong forearm across the face. Silence from the zebras.

[slick'81]

74-64

[CFH]

Hill for 33333333333333

[oh crap]

[Spurologist]

welcome to the party HILL

[Beaverfuzz]

[timvp]

[DesignatedT]

[Ice009]
