Mavs/spurs Game 3 Thread

[mavs>spurs2]

Sorry findog, but last time you made the thread it didn't go well. Let's mix it up this time
GO MAVS GO!!!!

[Saul Silver]

Spurs win by 15 imo. Mavs have no answer for Spurs Big 3. If anyone else has a remotely good game, Mavs lose.

The viability of suicide..

[Saul Silver]

How's school going for you bro?

[TampaDude]

I have a feeling this game will be a blowout one way or the other. The team that wins Game 3 will win the series. Book it.

[phyzik]

I think its going to be a close one, could go either way by 4 points.

[pauls931]

I have a feeling this game will be a blowout one way or the other. The team that wins Game 3 will win the series. Book it.

Came in here to post just that. Frankly I wish you both could lose or the Suns could meet Denver or Utah in the next round instead...

[Findog]

I have a feeling this game will be a blowout one way or the other. The team that wins Game 3 will win the series. Book it.

Eh, I disagree. Dallas has to get one in San Antonio. Don't matta if it's G3 or G4.

If it's 2-2 Dallas when the series shifts north, I'll be feeling pretty good. If it's 3-1 San Antonio, then the Spurs can start watching game film of the Suns.

[Muser]

More JJ!!

[D-Wade #3]

Sorry findog, but last time you made the thread it didn't go well. Let's mix it up this time
GO MAVS GO!!!!

So if the Mavs lose again, you gonna go all racist again?

[Fpoonsie]

My predictions on ST give me good cause to keep my white ass outta Vegas. I haven't called a single game in this series correctly.

Just please Jesus God win, Spurs...for FUCK's sake.

[clambake]

here's how it works:

mavs win game 1=gonna lose game 2....without doubt....no question about it.

mavs win game 3=gonna lose game 4....without doubt....no question about it.

if spurs win games 3 and 4=spurs gonna win this series in 5.

[sribb43]

No point in playing the game tonight....Danny Crawford is reffing and mavs have a 1-15 record in playoff games he officiates....FUCK

[in2deep]

No point in playing the game tonight....Danny Crawford is reffing and mavs have a 1-15 record in playoff games he officiates....FUCK

Don't worry. Joey Crawford will officiate game 5 or 6 so this will go 7 regardless

[Findog]

Joey Crawford should never ref a Spurs game, Dan Crawford should never ref a Mavs game. Fucking ridiculous. Gotta get G4.

[Fpoonsie]

No point in playing the game tonight....Danny Crawford is reffing and mavs have a 1-15 record in playoff games he officiates....FUCK

:wow

Seriously? Damn. Ya know, I typically don't put too much stock into ref biases (even the Joey Crawford/SA one), but those are some amazingly shitty odds.

[Findog]

Since 2001, the Mavs are 1-15 in playoff games reffed by Danny Crawford. In all other playoff games, they are 47-39.


Good job NBA :tu

[Chomag]

Joey Crawford should never ref a Spurs game, Dan Crawford should never ref a Mavs game. Fucking ridiculous. Gotta get G4.

Agreed 100% with you there. The ref part anyway =P

[nkdlunch]

well those are pretty messed up odds but I don't think Dan Crawford challenged Nowitzki to a fight.

[Fpoonsie]

here's how it works:

mavs win game 1=gonna lose game 2....without doubt....no question about it.

mavs win game 3=gonna lose game 4....without doubt....no question about it.

if spurs win games 3 and 4=spurs gonna win this series in 5.

I simply can't envision SA taking this thing in 5.

I still have my doubts about the Spurs' chances of even making it outta this series in tha first place, but if they were to, it'd hafta be 6, Fin's disagreements notwithstanding.

[mavsfan1000]

Fuck life. Danny Crawford is the ref 1-17 in the playoffs with him as a ref.

[mavsfan1000]

Fuck you Stern.

[Findog]

well those are pretty messed up odds but I don't think Dan Crawford challenged Nowitzki to a fight.

In the Dirk/Cuban era we are 47-39 in non-Danny Crawford games and 1-15 in the ones he refs:

Danny Crawford winning %: .062
Non-Danny Crawford winning %: .546


How in the fuck can they justify having this guy ref our games?

[Findog]

Fuck life. Danny Crawford is the ref 1-17 in the playoffs with him as a ref.

Is it 1-15 or 1-17? Starting with the 2001 Utah series, we are 48-54 in the playoffs in the Dirk/Cuban era.

[nkdlunch]

I guess you have a point. have there been any incidents with mavs vs. Danny?

I was thinking just this morning how fucked up it would be to get Joey Crawford for game 5 in Dallas (or game 7) :bang

dude hates Duncan with a passion, you don't think he'll try to screw him on a decisive game?

[Findog]

I would like a statistician or professional gambler to weigh in on that disparity. I'm not saying we should be going 15-1 in games he calls, since he tends to call fewer fouls and the Mavs rely an awful lot on shooting 80% from the FT line. But at this point it is just ridiculous he refs our games.

[Findog]

Only silver lining is that Bavetta's calls tend to keep games from becoming blowouts.

[DPG21920]

Lmao again at mav fans crying again before the game. Worked out well last time as you got 20! more fts. Crofl mav fan

[Findog]

28-14 without hacking Dampier. And the Mavs were the more aggressive team in G1. You'd be crying if Joey Crawford shows up to ref a Spurs game. How can he possibly fairly officiate Duncan after what happened in 2007?

well I guess my point is there is no hard evidence Danny hates the mavs or is trying to screw them. I would have to see which games he refed where mavs lost.

On the other hand it's factual that Joey hates Duncan. He challenged him to a fight, got suspended for it and refused to apologize. That is proof that he has a legitimate beef with Tim Duncan. It's a disgrace he still refs playoff games for Spurs.

I watched some of his games. It's not a coincidence the mavs are 1-15 with Danny. He calls a lot of fouls on us and lets Dirk get beat up. Basically he does everything he can for us to lose. No matter at home or on the road.

[DPG21920]

Huge disparity still. How did that happen w a ref that hates y'all? Prove the mavs were more agressive. Spurs had more points in the paint a Dirk shot primarily jump shots. Look at his shot chart. By your logic, if the mavs were more aggressive, then the ref tonight will be forced to make the calls like in game one.

I don't care if Joey refs the spurs. If the league thinks he is fine to ref other teams he is fine to ref the spurs.

I will watch very carefully tonight then.

[Findog]

Salvatore doesn't hate us. He's just a shitty ref that gets swayed by the crowd and goes with the home team. It bit us in the ass when he reffed G5 in the 06 Finals. I would like a database to see what the home team's record is in the playoffs when he calls a game.

[DPG21920]

Well game 1 isn't exactly a ringing endorsement for your argument.

[Fpoonsie]

I'm reeeeally hopin' Dice didn't wear himself out too badly from Gm 2. Loved his quickness and ferociousness guarding Dirk. He didn't fall for the all-too-tempting pump fakes that Matt tends to cream himself over.

Would also like to see Blair do fuh. king. some. thing.

[Ghazi]

1-15 with Dan Crawford.

and 0-15 when Dirk doesn't go for 50+

What a gay officiating assignment for the boys in blue tonight.

I'm not trying to make excuses before the game starts but that's a highly fishy stat.

[clambake]

I'm not trying to make excuses before the game starts but....

.......you just did.

[DPG21920]

Mav fan is unreal.

[stretch]

Mavs win solidly. Hard to say a score, because they can be up by 20 with 2 minutes to go, then the spurs will hit some meaningless 3s to cut it to 9 and suddenly spurs fans will say "spurs sucked ass all game but only lost by 9!!! we rule!!!!!!!!!!!"

[z0sa]

He didn't fall for the all-too-tempting pump fakes that Matt tends to cream himself over.

What? Bonner rarely even jumps when he's 100% positive Dirk's going to shoot. Too easily called for fouls.

I'd actually say Dyess falls harder for his headfakes than Bonner, even though Dyess has done a spectacular job (and much better than Bonner) otherwise.

[Ghazi]

Yeah DPG, it's "unreal" for a Mavs fan to be upset about an official who the Mavs are winless against unless Dirk goes for 50. How irrational :rolleyes

[j.dizzle]

I can see Dallas winning this game & a couple "fuck pop" threads coming up hahahaa..Will Dick score 17 in the 1st half again? nahhhhhhh

[djohn2oo8]

If Dick scores 17 again, Mav fans will go into panic mode. Shit, if Dick scored 17 on anyone they should go into panic mode

[monosylab1k]

Spurs win.

I'll learn to work the saxophone
I'll play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whisky all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues

[mavsfan1000]

I hate gambling but this would be a good game to bet on the spurs for. I wonder if the odds are much worse due to Danny Crawford being the ref. :lol

[Fpoonsie]

I'd actually say Dyess falls harder for his headfakes than Bonner, even though Dyess has done a spectacular job (and much better than Bonner) otherwise.

I think that I may have assumed, given the amount of calls Matt had going against him in Gm 1 D-ing up Dirk, that he must've repeatedly fell for 'em.

I just remember Dice staying firmly planted more often than not Gm 2.

"What have you done for me lately, Ed-dee?!?" seems to be my mantra come playoff time.

[Giuseppe]

I'm so hoping the Spurs give the Mavs an ass pounding this evening they won't so forget. I'm going to seriously need you Spurs fellows now to head the Suns off at the pass. So lets be good friends.

All my love,

- Your Dad

[Fpoonsie]

Come to think of it, z0sa, you're right. I was suddenly flooded w/ images of Matt getting backed down, hands both perfectly straight up in the air, and the ball finding the basket, shot-after-shot-after-shot.

[shudder]

:lol

In all seriousness, that breakout game that J-Rich had last night -- ya know, tha one where he started shooting 3s on both baskets to help even things out -- scared the SHIT outta me.

[z0sa]

[shudder]

Pretty much, sadly. Bonner doesn't have the ref respect or skill to contest consistently without fouling. He basically is a really huge, fairly fast-moving cone for Dirk to shoot over.

[Findog]

Couldn't find the ref info for the 2001 and 2002 playoffs. Here's the Crawford games since then:

2003:
Game 3 WCF at home: Spurs 96, Mavs 83. Spurs 26 FTA, Mavs 6 Spurs 43%, Mavs 40%
Game 1 WCSF at home: Kings 124, Mavs 113. Kings 33 FTA, Mavs 18. Kings 55% FG, Mavs 47%.
Game 6 WCSF on road: Kings 115, Mavs 109. Kings 32 FTA, Mavs 22. Kings 42% FG, Mavs 49%
Game 4 WCQF on road: Blazers 98, Mavs 79. Blazers 42 FTA, Mavs 13. Blazers 42%, Mavs 37%

2005:
Game 1 WCQF at home: Rockets 98, Mavs 86. Rockets 20 FTA, Mavs 42. Rockets 48%, Mavs 35%
Game 2 WCQF at home: Rockets 113, Mavs 111. Rockets 27 FTA, Mavs 26. Rockets 55%, Mavs 50%
Game 1 WCSF on road: Suns 127, Mavs 102. Suns 28 FTA, Mavs 12. Suns 52%, Mavs 45%

2006:

Game 5 WCF at home: Mavs 117, Suns 101. Suns 20 FTA, Mavs 28. Suns 46%, Mavs 47%. Dirk scores 50.
Game 3 Finals on road: Heat 98, Mavs 96. Heat 34 FTA, Mavs 26. Heat 49%, Mavs 48%
Game 6 Finals at home: Heat 95, Mavs 92. Heat 37 FTA, Mavs 22. Heat 45%, Mavs 37%

2007:
Game 3 WCQF on road: Warriors 109, Mavs 91. Warriors 34 FTA, Mavs 37. Warriors 48%, Mavs 39%

2008:
Game 5 WCQF on road: Hornets 99, Mavs 94. Hornets 20 FTA, Mavs 19. Hornets 49%, Mavs 43%

2009:
Game 1 WCSF on road: Nuggets 109, Mavs 95. Nuggets 36 FTA, Mavs 13. Nuggets 55%, Mavs 49%

The bolded games the other team obviously didn't need Crawford's help. That Blazer game in 2003 has a huge FT discrepancy, but the Mavs shot 37% in that game and the Blazers wanted it more to avoid the sweep.

I had to work during G3 of the Spurs-Mavs in 2003, the game where Dirk got hurt. Quite a huge FT discrepancy, but having not watched this game, I have nothing useful to say about it.

Not saying the other games were unfairly officiated per se, but the bolded ones we can't scream about. So for what it's worth, the last three times he's reffed us, we can't look at him as a factor.

[DPG21920]

Yeah DPG, it's "unreal" for a Mavs fan to be upset about an official who the Mavs are winless against unless Dirk goes for 50. How irrational :rolleyes

Then why does mav fan give spur fan shit about bitching about the refs? At least wait until after the game to complain? At least you won't end up looking ridiculous such as in game one.

[monosylab1k]

Maybe we'll get lucky and Dan Crawford will challenge Dirk to a fight tonight and shut Spur Fan up.

Dick Bavetta worries me more, that guy is easily the most corrupt official in the NBA.

If any Mavs fan here has ties to the Mafia, please have your Don throw a pile of money at Dick Bavetta to give the Mavs the game. This is the best way to guarantee victory.

You do realize mav fan bitches just as much, if not more than spur fan? Mav fan has taken it to a new level of preemptive bitching now. I could care less if Joey refs a spurs game and he was actually suspended for his actions against the spurs.

Sometimes it is right to bitch, but not before tip off bc you look like the biggest cry baby. Especially when you complain and are awarded double the fts

I think the refs have been fine so far in all series with the exception of the hand check rule not applying to Artest......but can we quit using FT disparity as a gauge for refs (not just DPG, but everyone in general), it's the dumbest logic ever. Ever since 2008 when Lakers fans complained about Boston getting more free throws than LA because somehow Leon Powe attacking the basket wasn't supposed to get more free throws than VladRad and Vujacic bricking 3's, the complaining when one team gets more free throws than the other has gotten ridiculous.

[Goran Dragic]

There are two ways to interpret that. 1 being that the refs hate SA so bad that they did something that deserved the suspension. There's the other angle that Stern obviously has some kind of respect for the Spurs if he's willing to publicly criticize an official for that call and suspend him. My view is that it's a a stupid egotistical ref who wants to see his face on ESPN so he made a call people would remember.

yeah, i said good luck to you before the series started.

are you upset about that or something?

[mavs>spurs2]

anyway hopefully the mavs have had time to work on how to break that stupid scramble defense that was giving us trouble in game 2, it really isn't that hard to beat. proper ball movement will get you a layup every time. our biggest problem was dirk dribbling right into the double team and picking up his dribble, giving SA the chance to make their rotations.

That is Dirk's weakness. Duncan is much better at passing out of double teams. The Warriors did the scramble defense as well. It works.

Bro, 1-15 v a ref and 0-15 when Dirk doesn't go for 50.

That is a very alarming stat and highly improbable mathematically assuming there isn't bias and it's just a coincidence.

I think when you're 0-15 against a guy it gives you a right to preemptively bitch.

Not saying this game is already decided, but it's only natural to us to feel a little worse about our chances given those trends.

Any fan base would bitch about a ref they are 1-15 against in the playoffs.

[Basketballgirl25]

So I saw a lot of people here complaining about refs, if you don't like how is refing don't watch the game, not that hard to do. It's just a game not important in your life unless your a player on the team

I'd rather suffer through it. :lol

If I was Carlisle. I'd rest Dirk. why risk an injury on a sure loss game?

[Trainwreck2100]

If I was Carlisle. I'd rest Dirk. why risk an injury on a sure loss game?

He needs more JJ Barea and Najera time, those two are gamechangers

I ain't your bro, pal. Just like in game 1? You guys preemptively bitched there and look how that turned out. So shhhh, girl.

[mavs>spurs2]

That is Dirk's weakness. Duncan is much better at passing out of double teams. The Warriors did the scramble defense as well. It works.

It wasn't so much the passing out of the double as it was the whole "drive straight into the double and promptly pick up your dribble" thing

I'd say the stat (mavs 1-15 with crawford) is highly probable. 100% probable to be exact.

[Ghazi]

It's very improbable for the Mavs to be 1-15 against a certain official when they win about 50% of their playoff games if that official is deemed unbiased.

Gonna be a good night tonight, can't wait for bitching about biased refs after the game (probably somewhat justified too :lol)

[picc84]

Shawn Marion never fails to look like shit against the Spurs, its like clockwork. :lol

[LnGrrrR]

Would someone expplain to me why Sgt Slaughter was hyping for the Spurs? :lmao

[DAF86]

lol at people saying that Manu is a poor defender.

[SpursDynasty]

lol mavs
lol dampier
lol dirk being blocked by manu
lol putting beaubois in the game
lol washington wizards on the floor

[Bob Lanier]

Rick Carlisle on Tim Duncan:
If we need to cum on him, we will.

[BadOdor]

lol at people saying that Manu is a poor defender.

wtf there are no centers on the floor, at all

how would you know about "lol smack" since you left spurstalk long before then?

sup timvp

[AnthonyM]

Lol mavs fans who are quick to pull numbers from when Crawford refs them and stick to them. You cannot argue otherwise.

But when you pull the FT numbers from the first game of this series where Mavs shot 34-14 or 28-14 without Hack-A-Damp it's because they're team was "more aggressive".

Even though the Mavs are nothing but a jump shooting team. And look at the shot chart for that game...crofl mavs

crofl mav fan idiots...

[picc84]

Kidd refusing to shoot if he isn't wide open kills the Mavs offense.

[LnGrrrR]

Not much crisp passing/rotation by the Mavs.

[Chomag]

Mavs are playing bad and spurs are playing pretty good but somehow the mavs are sticking around.

[Bob Lanier]

Good LORD, Dampier is an awful pick and roll defender.

[Giuseppe]

Pops got all his options at his disposal.

And ain't Bonner adorable running around on flat feet? He ought to be beat with a stick.

[DPG21920]

Mavs in a great spot. Took a good punch by the spurs and hit some fluky shots to keep it close. Anyones game.

[AnthonyM]

Mavs in a great spot. Took a good punch by the spurs and hit some fluky shots to keep it close. Anyones game.

Mavs fan: "crofl fluky... JJ hits that 30 foot 3 pointer in his sleep scrah...crofl spurs...terry always shits all over the spurs imho tbh...crofl scrah"

[Giuseppe]

Don't act all humble, DPG. You're happier than a pig in shit and you know it.

[Bob Lanier]

:lmao I guess having an enormous Pinnochio schnoz can work against you, Manu.

[redzero]

Why did the German attack the Argentinean? I thought they had something special.

[mystargtr34]

:lol Manu's nose fouling Dirk's elbow.

[Bob Lanier]

The Spurs are getting more of a handjob from the refs tonight than the Mavs did in Game 1.

[Rogue]

The Spurs are getting more of a handjob from the refs tonight than the Mavs did in Game 1.
This.

[DAF86]

How is that a foul on Manu? And that nose looked fucked up, it looks broken.

[Bob Lanier]

Maybe Manu could take the opportunity to make his face more presentable and have a plastic surgeon lop off about a third of that nose.

[AnthonyM]

The Spurs are getting more of a handjob from the refs tonight than the Mavs did in Game 1.

Lol, no they're not.

[redzero]

Dick and Tony shared a moment there.

[picc84]

There'd be nowhere to put it.

[dirk4mvp]

Wet

[picc84]

Goddamn does anyone see Ginobili's nose? Its as big as Barea. :rollin

[Rogue]

Goddamn does anyone see Ginobili's nose? Its as big as Barea. :rollin
Yup Manu's nose is almost the same gigantic in size as Barea's, I've noticed it too. Does it have anything to do with their diets? their diets are quite the same IMHO.

[Bob Lanier]

Duncan is hacking and shoving out there like Charles Oakley.

[dirk4mvp]

Kidd bullying niggas. He has taken Duncan's cookie a couple times this game.

[DJ Mbenga]

barrea raping. where are the beabuious people?

[DJ Mbenga]

LMAO a flop

[Bob Lanier]

Erick Dampier's complete lack of defensive presence is keeping San Antonio in this game (and the series).

[hitmanyr2k]

Dampier is such a bum. Ginobili owns that dude.

[Bob Lanier]

See?

Haywood comes in and the pick-and-roll is cut off.

[hitmanyr2k]

Does Bonner have the record for wide open shots missed in his career?

[JamStone]

Lol @ Hubie saying that was a good call because he was out of the circle... doesn't matter that Bonner was in the air and still moving when he tried to take the charge I guess

Bavetta is old

[JamStone]

Ginoooooooooooobiliiiiiii

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili is a FUCKIN warrior :lol

[j.dizzle]

Damn this series is fuckin amazing to watch. So much intensity. LOL Manu needs to do himself a favor & get a nose job already, that shit just gets hit way too much haha

[JamStone]

That was an and-one on Dice too

[j.dizzle]

Dallas frontcourt has to be one of the softest in the league,they dont know what a hard foul is..They getting penetrated on at will

[Rogue]

Get JET&BAREA the FUCKS out of the court, you fucking moron.

[hitmanyr2k]

Barea is the only reason you guys are in this game. That dude brought the heart tonight. If Ginobili goes to the rim again I think the Mavs are gonna do a hatchet job on him and test that nose. It's like Karate Kid...sweep the fuckin leg.

[Rogue]

I can't believe that he hasn't given JJ a break at all? And Caron hasn't played one minute in the second half either
I suggest you think a little bit about who's coaching this team, then it's easy to believe.

[j.dizzle]

Holy shit how many jumpshots is Dallas gonna take lmao.

[hitmanyr2k]

This game is there for the taking. Both teams are giving it away. Mavs can't make a damn shot and the Spurs are turnover happy.

[Bob Lanier]

Knick Bavetta is such an asshole.

[hitmanyr2k]

I'm loving the physical nature of the game. This is playoff basketball.

:lol @ Dirk overacting on that foul. What a pussy.

[Rogue]

Barea is the only reason you guys are in this game. That dude brought the heart tonight. If Ginobili goes to the rim again I think the Mavs are gonna do a hatchet job on him and test that nose. It's like Karate Kid...sweep the fuckin leg.
yes this midget has been playing fine so far (especially impressed by those rebounds he got) but it's easy to predict the Mavs will lose when they are playing 3 PGs on court. 3 POINT GUARDS, MY FREAKING ASS.

[Rogue]

Knick Bavetta is such an asshole.
This. He needs to wear glasses imho.

[JamStone]

Fun game to watch

[Bob Lanier]

Dirk is just so fucking good.

[Rogue]

Mavs would have won it already if Dampier hadn't rubbed the muthafucking butter on his palms.

[j.dizzle]

Dirks shots are so erratic but he finds a way to make them...Just tells you he must practice a shitload cuz those are unguardable..Dallas' biggest problem is that they get absolutely no offense from their centers so if their jumpshots arent falling, its hard for them to win.

[hitmanyr2k]

Mavs defense is paying too much attention to Ginobili. Everytime he gets the ball three defenders are looking at him and they're losing the other guys.

[hitmanyr2k]

Cmon Hubie :lol You're my favorite announcer and all but Barea flopped HARD on that. Parker barely got a finger on him.

[SAtown]

LMAO Mavs
