2010 Playoffs: Round 1, Game 3 - Spurs vs Mavs Game Blog

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I prefer Fratello because I love his reaction when the spurs hit big shots....namely he shuts up

:lmao

I appreciate Hubie's passion. :D

[NewJerSpur]

Hill still looks horrible though, really sucks..huge asset to lose..

In Game 2 it took him up until the second have before he began to loosen up and not play as cautious, hopefully he warms up soon.

[HarlemHeat37]

Is it just me, or does the Spurs crowd sound louder than it has in years?(even including the last title run)..

[SpursTillTheEnd]

stg slaughter at the game wtf. do yall watch the game on fsn or espn? i like fsn better

[100%duncan]

Parker looks as fast as ever. That was a blur.

[Spurologist]

Tp with another beautiful drive

[slick'81]

dallas's body language is awful take it to them sa

[TDomination]

Parker penetrates to the basket!

[NewJerSpur]

Looks like TP against the 2008 Suns interior defense, KEEP SLASHING!!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

[ned_ryerson]

brown: "boo-bwah"

[slick'81]

[lurker]

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

lol roddy

[Admidave50]

TOny's been playing great off the bench so far

[Death In June]

Come on, georgie. Better shot selection, please.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The Mavs can't stop turning it over.

[100%duncan]

what was that technical?

[Libri]

Parker looks as fast as ever. That was a blur.

One of his strongest assets.

[Spurologist]

brown: "boo-bwah"

bwahh hahahahahah should be said for any bad play boo-bwah makes

[NewJerSpur]

They can't keep Parker out of the lane, got to milk that.

[slick'81]

terry is the only mav playing right now

[LnGrrrR]

Why is Sgt Slaughter there? :lmao

[Spurs Brazil]

Smart move George.

[EmptyMan]

[ffadicted]

Spurs gotta cut the jugular while Dallas is sluggish, don't let them get comfortable or close

[Spurologist]

Beautiful post up by Hill on terry there

[Death In June]

Bonner on dirk? Fuck off.

[100%duncan]

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony Parker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[100%duncan]

Tony P!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner on Dirk... :(

TP looks great

[Tp9gospursgo]

Teardrop

[slick'81]

terry u dmb fuck u cant guard tony

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

man he looks good

[NewJerSpur]

They LITERALLY cannot guard Tony, just like the Suns couldn't in 2008.

[angelbelow]

TP continues to look great.

[Libri]

Tony is very aggressive.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Tony motherfucking parker!!! I love that tear drop! I missed that tear drop!

[carina_gino20]

Tony!

[Capt Bringdown]

Hubie's right, why not post RJ up against Kidd?

[100%duncan]

cant just other players guard dirk than matt?

[angelbelow]

Haha Bonner is looking worse than usual against Dirk

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Doesn't look like the pf is bothering TP any more, does it? :tu

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu block!

[NewJerSpur]

Great defense Matt.

[angelbelow]

Ginobili!

[picc84]

Holy shit Manu is a madman on D tonight.

[slick'81]

get that weak shit outta here dirk

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 23-16 after one

[Tp9gospursgo]

Wow manu block

[stealthjbravo]

fuck

[007nites]

good quarter

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

lol roddy lol

[picc84]

Is it me or does it seem like Ginobili takes the Mavs personally. :lol

[m33p0]

my boy matt getting creamed. dang.

[TDomination]

Nice start! Spurs want this, lets get this game!!!!

[lurker]

Oh, Roddy, you're giving Carlisle all the ammo he needs to let you never see the court again.

[slick'81]

Gospursgo

[EmptyMan]

D'Manu.

[100%duncan]

8 pts for tim and dirk. But Tony is going to slash their D's and manu's gonna be the new centerpiece

[NewJerSpur]

Doesn't look like the pf is bothering TP any more, does it? :tu

Good point, I forgot all about that myself, LOL.

Mavs look bad, REALLY bad. They look one-dimensional on offense and soft on defense. Got to keep attacking and exploiting.

[100%duncan]

Oh, Roddy, you're giving Carlisle all the ammo he needs to let you never see the court again.

hahahah

[Spurs Brazil]

Big 3 with a great 1st quarter ut they'll need help

[King K]

when manu hustle on D... he get going on offence!

[carina_gino20]

Is it me or does it seem like Ginobili takes the Mavs personally. :lol

Manu just checking up on his properties.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

tony is having a great game :)

[mystargtr34]

Manu has been amazing tonight, and he hasn't even scored.

[100%duncan]

Big 3 with a great 1st quarter ut they'll need help

yeah. I hope they dont repeat game 1 which nobody helped the big 3

[Ghjkll]

Manu with 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. That´s the beauty of his game. He can contribute in some many ways...

[HarlemHeat37]

I hate how they adjusted to put Kidd on Jefferson..it pretty much eliminates Jefferson's game and allows Kidd to help out on others more..

Jefferson pretty much can't do anything against Kidd except rise up and shoot jump shots, and that's not a strong part of his game..

[slick'81]

spurs just getting warmed up

[007nites]

Bonner has done okay on Dirk for now. I mean Dirk had a hand in his face on all of those shots. There is not much more you can do.

[jestersmash]

Ginobili hasn't even looked for his shot, just 0-2 from 3 (and total), and we're commanding the flow of the game. This bodes well for us.

he does have 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and a block though

[Blackjack]

If the bats know what's good for them ... they won't make an appearance tonight.

Miyagi's got nothin' on Manu. :lol

[Libri]

Take care of the basketball and keep turnovers down. Spurs only have three TOs right now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

PF usually takes at least 2-3 months off to fix, so I'm surprised TP was able to rehab it so quickly, but it certainly looks like TP at top speed, pain-free to me. AWESOME to see! :D

[Pauleta14]

Oh, Roddy, you're giving Carlisle all the ammo he needs to let you never see the court again.


It looks like Carlisle treats him like a veteran role player...
He NEEDS more playing time!!!!
(I'm happy tough to see him on the bench...:lol)

[Spurologist]

Doesn't look like the pf is bothering TP any more, does it? :tu

yeah if I remember correctly, tp said in a recent interview that he feels 100% and pain free. Might've been a french interview.....too lazy to search.

:tu

Mavs have a problem. No one can guard tp. Carlisle doesn't want Marion on him apparently mainly cuz he's been garbage this series. This should encourage RJ to keep driving. Mavs have weak perimeter D.

[EmptyMan]

jim carey looks mad

[007nites]

Mavs want to double timmy now??

[slick'81]

dallas looks like someone just kicked their dog

[NewJerSpur]

We're owning in the paint so far, which is weird given the size disadvantage.

[100%duncan]

if the bats know what's good for them ... They won't make an appearance tonight.

Miyagi's got nothin' on manu. :lol

lol

[m33p0]

so far tim and dirk cancelling each other out, same goes for parker and terry.

[EmptyMan]

damn blair :(

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Damnit Blair :(

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair needs to make those easy ones

Late call

[Spurologist]

:pctoss

Blair still can't hit a layup

[timtonymanu]

Blair missing easy shots again.

[slick'81]

spurs missed some gimmes there

[Ice009]

Man Dejuan has to fucking make something.

COME ON DEJUAN.

[100%duncan]

Blair should not play volleyball on a playoff game

[Admidave50]

Got to finish this Blair, refs saving Kidd's ass

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We've all taken Grizzly massively for granted... not often you get a rookie with 2 20-20 games. :toast

[Capt Bringdown]

Damn, the lid's on the basket for Blair.

[100%duncan]

Tony!

[slick'81]

dejuan blair

[Tp9gospursgo]

Good pass Tony.

[angelbelow]

Blair looks much better at home

[Spurologist]

write this down

11:22 second quarter

Big men = Bonner/Blair

BLAIR with a nice layup though!

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck Bonner

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

kidd going coast to coast is just wrong

[100%duncan]

damn the refs

[Tp9gospursgo]

Please take Bonner out.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner.... :( :( :(

[EmptyMan]

all they do is just right at bonner...fml

[BanditHiro]

soft call

[lurker]

dallas looks like someone just kicked their dog
Their dog was murdered 4 years ago. Never forget. :(

[timtonymanu]

Blair-Bonner lineup sucks. We always let them back in with these two.

[Bob Lanier]

LMAO Bonner

[slick'81]

come on bonner no foul there

[VBM]

Jesus Bonner sucks on defense

[ffadicted]

Bonner getting torched by everybody

[Texas_Ranger]

Get Bonner out!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Man Bonner is fucking awful defending!

[Ice009]

Matt Bonner absolutely sucks ass.

I don't want him on the court.

[Warlord23]

Get Bonner out of there ... the refs are going to bend him over the rest of the night

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

One concern - they way we've dominated we should be up by 10+ today.

[NewJerSpur]

Please don't start with the careless passing Manu, just go to the hole.

[EmptyMan]

lol excuses excuses

[Spurologist]

Fucking pop!

Fuck small ball

[Death In June]

Fuck you bonner.

[100%duncan]

omg they are starting to lose the lead

[VBM]

Get Bonner off the floor...they're all scoring on him

[Spurs Brazil]

Only Bonner to get Marion going

[lurker]

Marching band? Welcome to San Antonio. :lol

[Bob Lanier]

LMAO BONNER :lmao :lmao

[Ice009]

Bonner fucking swings the game in the Mavs way.

FUCK MATT BONNER.

FUCK HIM OFF.

[HarlemHeat37]

Shawn Marion doing ANYTHING on offense is a bad sign for the Spurs..wow..this is sad, Shawn Marion?! really?!..

[m33p0]

why the fuck is bonner guarding marion? dammit!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I was about to break my television...

[Tp9gospursgo]

Thank you dan Crawford

[slick'81]

lol total block by najera

[NewJerSpur]

I actually can't say that's a call either way.

[Chomag]

Man, will bonner at least try to contest shots?

[ffadicted]

Does Najera's face annoy the fuck out of anybody else?

[100%duncan]

Fuck you bavetta and bonner. thanks crawford! go tony!

[EmptyMan]

fucking bonner

PLS GO PLS GO PLS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[VBM]

bonner's guy scored the last 10 for dallas?

[slick'81]

mavs killing us inside now

[Admidave50]

Nice TP

[HarlemHeat37]

Wow, Bonner loses Najera on the box out..please get Bonner off the floor..

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Thank you dan Crawford
:lol

[Libri]

That tear drop is money.

[BanditHiro]

omg fucking najera

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Damn Blair you have to make those...

[100%duncan]

go tony

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner/Blair HURTING us big time

[angelbelow]

We all know Bonner is a below average rebounder... but sometimes it looks like hes just fucking standing there. no effort at all

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

fuckin torch em tony

[Ice009]

Pathetic bonner lets najera get thwe rebound and eas put back

[Capt Bringdown]

This is a terrible lineup.
Pop's in slumber mode again.

If Bonner can't get it done, why not give Ian a chance at least?

[picc84]

Parker makes everyone around him look like statues.

[BanditHiro]

oh god we are just in survival mode right now

[LnGrrrR]

Blair with another miss on an easy basket.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Yay Bonner is out.

[slick'81]

We all know Bonner is a below average rebounder... but sometimes it looks like hes just fucking standing there. no effort at all


gotta love matty b

[100%duncan]

freethrow fiesta

[HarlemHeat37]

I feel very uncomfortable with Blair on the floor right now, especially when Bonner is the other big with him..really need Duncan and McDyess on the floor as much as possible..

[ffadicted]

Fuck what's with Blair's FG%

[Ice009]

Take bonner out and fucking get a mob guy in san antonio asap. I want bonner out.

[Warlord23]

Smallball > Bonner-ball

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

blair needs to calm the FUCK down

[NewJerSpur]

Matt and Djuan need to step up.

[Andy25]

<3 crawford

[dbestpro]

I sure wish Blair would play with a little more passion.

[slick'81]

spurs in micro mode

[100%duncan]

damn it

[carina_gino20]

Can I watch now? Is Bonner off the floor now?

[Death In June]

This lineup fucking sucks. Get someone over 6'7 out there.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

blair seems to be in the way a little bit

[Spurs Brazil]

small ball.

[timtonymanu]

Knew the Blair/Bonner combo would screw us. Now we're stuck with small ball :(

[slick'81]

spurs up 3

[Bob Lanier]

Jesus, Crawford and Bavetta absolutely have to make the game about them at both ends of the floor.

[EmptyMan]

damn that lineup is going to give me nightmares tonight...

[TheProfessor]

I expect this bullshit from Bonner, but Blair needs to remove his head from his ass pronto.

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker and Blair -5
Bonner -4

[dbestpro]

Blair should get himself some popcorn if he just gonna stand around and watch.

[100%duncan]

damn pop. cant dice go there if you want tim to still rest? bonner and blair are owning us

[carina_gino20]

Blair needs to realize that we don't need him to be spectacular, we just need him to do what DeJuan Blair did 1st half of the season. :lol

[Ice009]

POP IS BACK TO BEING A FUCKING IDIOT COACH. THIS LINE UP SUCKS ASS.

TP IS JACKING UP JUMP SHOTS AND NOT HITTING THEM. Drive it or pass the ball TP.

[siraulo23]

we just dont look sharp, at all~

[biziofromdowntown]

fuck small ball Pops

[Spurs Brazil]

Like the 1st 2 games, Blair/Bonner hurt us a lot. Those 2 CAN'T play together

[NewJerSpur]

Blair and Bonner are touching the ball coming off the rim more than anyone on either team and neither can put it back in the hole with the Dallas bigs out. We should definitely be up by more.

[Spurologist]

small ball started this bullshit.....I thought you learned your lesson pop....That Blair/Bonner combo is pathetic

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Can I watch now? Is Bonner off the floor now?

nop! sorry !

[alchemist]

Well it's being shown that Bonner and Blair will not be giving positive minutes to the Spurs. I thought they would show up considering role players play better at home but it's not the case.

[blkroadrunners]

Blair's active out there; he just needs to convert on these chippy shots.

[jestersmash]

Parker and Blair -5
Bonner -4

Why are you bringing parker's +/- up when it's clearly deceptive? You do realize parker is the second best player on the spurs at the moment for this game, right?

[Warlord23]

Looks like the bench is gonna get its ass handed to it all night long by the likes of Najera and Marion

[TPnumber1]

POP IS BACK TO BEING A FUCKING IDIOT COACH. THIS LINE UP SUCKS ASS.

TP IS JACKING UP JUMP SHOTS AND NOT HITTING THEM. Drive it or pass the ball TP.

hi :toast

[Capt Bringdown]

Way to piss away the momentum.
Extremely bad and tone-deaf coaching by Pop.

[ezau]

Blair needs to calm down. He's getting too excited out there.

[EmptyMan]

blair bonner IS small ball.


Bonner is soft and blair is short

[biziofromdowntown]

We need a BIG in here...and maybe someone that could play PNR in right way

[timtonymanu]

I know it's sort of a cliche now, but i dont think putting Ian in can be worse than Bonner/Blair combo.

[HarlemHeat37]

Not feeling good about this game so far..Spurs should have a much bigger lead..

McDyess has been pacing himself all year, this is the time he should be receiving more minutes..no need to be too conservative with his minutes..

[alchemist]

Pop, is coaching like an idiot today!
they play every other day from here on out, Pop has to rest Tim/Dice at some point.

[100%duncan]

Blair should be a beast. Well to bonner , Im not expecting anything from that Redhead.

[slick'81]

tim wont come back in until dirk does gotta hang in there

[NewJerSpur]

Like the 1st 2 games, Blair/Bonner hurt us a lot. Those 2 CAN'T play together

Agreed. They each need an anchor on the other end to take the spotlight off of them down low.

[Quiet Strength]

lol wow everything fell apart when bonner entered the game. Dallas knows to keep attacking him.

[Tp9gospursgo]

YES! Mason is in!

[Ice009]

I am not happy with the bench players today. fucking horrible Blair and Bonner.

POP YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER. you can't play these two guys together. FUCKING RETARDED.

[Spurologist]

Blair's active out there; he just needs to convert on these chippy shots.

I agree as long as he's not on the court with Bonner as the only bigs. I'm patiently waiting for the Beast in Blair to come out

[Spurs Brazil]

same bad lineup

shit

[100%duncan]

Fuck it

[slick'81]

manu and rj gotta get some buckets

[dbestpro]

No big man to give Blair trouble.

[slick'81]

wow is that masucks

[lurker]

You're not a Spur, make your damn free throws!

[Ice009]

Now Mason Jr is on the court.

GOOD lord.

[siraulo23]

WTFFFFFFFF

RJ at the 4 and mason in?????????

WE gonna LOSEE this game

[EmptyMan]

there you go blair, you got this

[100%duncan]

That is what i like from blair

[HarlemHeat37]

Dallas is just daring the Spurs to shoot outside right now..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

There we go DB!!!!!!!!!!

[NewJerSpur]

There you go Blair, NOW YOU'RE THINKING.

[slick'81]

nice blair stay active on the boards

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Roger Mason

Plus just don't turn it over

[blkroadrunners]

Better Blair...

[Libri]

The Beast fought for that rebound.

[angelbelow]

i really think blair is more comfortable today. he might not be making his layups but hes more active imo.

[Capt Bringdown]

Not feeling good about this game so far..Spurs should have a much bigger lead..


It does seem like the tide is turning. If we do lose, we'll look back to this horrible 2nd quarter as the key sequence.

[Refocus]

Mason better fucking score or something if he's gonna play.

[NewJerSpur]

There we go.

[100%duncan]

Rj!

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes RJ!

[slick'81]

rj u da man

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

RJ for 222222222222222222222222222222

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

get some mavs

[ffadicted]

Nice Blair, good job... fuck I love Hubie, always says what I'm thinking lol

[TheProfessor]

Jefferson looked great shooting that jumper in rhythm. Hope that continues...

[EmptyMan]

how the fcuk does marion not post up Mason wtflolwtflolwtflol

[biziofromdowntown]

Hell yeah

[007nites]

all blair there

[m33p0]

that was a quick time out.

[slick'81]

time out dallas

[timtonymanu]

Okay no more Bonner until our lead is safe.
