[SpursRulez4eVeR]

how does manu breathe???

[carina_gino20]

Oh Manu, I love you.

[EmptyMan]

good ol hill

[angelbelow]

hope RJ gets inspired too

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Hill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

George hill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

The only useful thing Bonner has done in this game is taking a charge that was actually a bad call..

Do something Bonner, Pop is going to play him either way, so he needs to make a fucking 3..

[007nites]

Ginobili is pushing hard!

[NewJerSpur]

I love you george!!!

[m33p0]

that's how you do it, georgie!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu has no right hand... really? I mean, really?

:nope

[Mal]

Great D George

[GSH]

OUTSTANDING defense by Hill!!!

[Libri]

Deeeeeeeefeeeeeeense

[Spurologist]

Hill what a fucking deflection and he run the floor!!!!

[Drachen]

Tony to George!

[DJ Mbenga]

did hill travel?

[Cherry]

...Don´t mess with the nose...

[Admidave50]

GHill is over the floor, keep it up young man

[Warlord23]

They can't stop Manu when he takes it to the hole. No more jumpers Manu, just take it to them

[Crookshanks]

wow - that was kind of an excessive foul by Dirk. Glad George is not hurt.

[slick'81]

nobody outside of lebron is playing as well as ginobili right now.

+100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

[lurker]

Not liking the way this is going now. :pctoss

[angelbelow]

dice back in!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Dice in for Bonner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheProfessor]

We're in the penalty on the next foul, that's huge.

[TDomination]

Dice in for Bonner!

[100%duncan]

Hill is starting to make the freethrows

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bonner did fine. Held the fort for Dice.

[NewJerSpur]

Damn.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow Dirk... great shot :(

[007nites]

we got our top line now

[ffadicted]

Fuck Dirk....

[EmptyMan]

keep it up dice

[ffadicted]

... gotta make you open shots

[DJ Mbenga]

LMAO butler

[NewJerSpur]

Calm down Antonio, calm down.

[slick'81]

bad call refs bailed out dirk

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan needs to get back involved, he's probably out of rhythm now..

[Tp9gospursgo]

Dirk is pissed!

[Bob Lanier]

Is Dice trying to make love to Dirk?

[GSH]

They called that on Dice? Dirky was slinging elbows.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dice has been a totally different player since the playoffs began. His D has gone up two notches, and his boardwork.

[NewJerSpur]

Dodged a bullet there.

[Spurs Brazil]

good timeout

[Spurminator]

Whew

[100%duncan]

Manu is on fire but tim is cold now

[slick'81]

manu almot bitchslapped barera there

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ugggghhhh I have to remember to breathe when the Mavericks have the ball :lol

[Drachen]

I have to ask Mavs fans, Do YALL like JJ Barea, or is he just annoying to yall too??

[Sigz]

What the hell is up with Mason's hair?

[Tp9gospursgo]

I'm loving the defense by Dice right now.

[Horse]

LOL @ Haywood moving out of Manu way, LOL. Soft, soft interior defense.
Gaywood sucks ass!:lol

[Spurologist]

I love the fuckin D by Dice.....I don't give a fuck if he fouls unless it's an and1 or they're in the penalty. :lol

[DJ Mbenga]

Duncan needs to get back involved, he's probably out of rhythm now..

they are going to live and die with the manu pick and roll

[EmptyMan]

we are lucky the mavs are missing shot and the refs are showing no mercy towards the mavs

[m33p0]

how does manu breathe???
he does not breathe. he manus.

[lurker]

Ugggghhhh I have to remember to breathe when the Mavericks have the ball :lol
That's how I feel when the Spurs have the ball. This game is killing me.

[Spurs Brazil]

We must score now

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We really should send Bogans out to sort Barea. Just sort him out... like Manu and Dirk's elbow, but in reverse. Chippy little Sam-lookalike hobbit fuck.

[Mal]

I don`t want to blame Parker, but he is keeping Manu and Tim cold. Tony start dishing the ball , pls

[100%duncan]

just keep attacking spurs

[GSH]

they are going to live and die with the manu pick and roll

We'll live by it... Mavs will die by it.

[Death In June]

Mavs would be such a suck team without dirk.

[Warlord23]

Just run the pick-n-roll with Manu and TD all the way through to the end. Haywood can't defend it; they'll either let Manu through or have to collapse and leave someone wide open

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't think either team has momentum right now..this game could really go either way..

Spurs just have to avoid the stupid decisions leading to turnovers and make smart rotations..they've had too many shaky plays in the 2nd half so far..

[slick'81]

good timeout lets c what pop draws up

[NewJerSpur]

holy shit, Dirk almost made that one too.

They probably could've called a foul on the drive. I like Dice's aggression on the boards and the fact he's keeping and hand up on Dirk, but he's got to be careful not to over do it.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

It was more about Manu apparently being gone from the game than anything else. I think that took them out of the game a little bit

[SpursTillTheEnd]

The crowds blood lust is strong tonight

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

you know what...if RJ can turns it on right now for a stretch the game will be in the pocket...

[Spurologist]

Manu didn't even let the docs diagnose the nose.....Once they stopped the bleeding, he sprinted to the court.....What a fuckin warrior

[StoneBuddha]

Man, it's like 2006 again. Both teams playing with a lot of heart.

[HarlemHeat37]

A Spurs' 3 would be so huge right now..they need a big shot to take the momentum and make the crowd erupt..

[slick'81]

GOSPURSGO fuck the mavs

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

they are going to live and die with the manu pick and roll

Our entire season will live and die by the Manu pnr.

[Spurologist]

i don't think either team has momentum right now..this game could really go either way..

Spurs just have to avoid the stupid decisions leading to turnovers and make smart rotations..they've had too many shaky plays in the 2nd half so far..

bingo

[Pauleta14]

I don`t want to blame Parker, but he is keeping Manu and Tim cold. Tony start dishing the ball , pls

I agree, he doesn't seems to find his place/role...
It's probably a work in progress (coming off the bench)

[ffadicted]

Fuggin' good game man.... fuggin good game

[EmptyMan]

http://samsedershow.tv/archives/majorityreport/gonzo_pensive.jpg

[slick'81]

big possession here

[100%duncan]

if tony doesn't play shoot around we win

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

"Colt McCoy"! :lmao

Now THAT is a Texan name! :toast

[Bob Lanier]

Just run the pick-n-roll with Manu and TD all the way through to the end. Haywood can't defend it; they'll either let Manu through or have to collapse and leave someone wide open
Ah, Haywood's done an excellent job defending it.

[NewJerSpur]

A Spurs' 3 would be so huge right now..they need a big shot to take the momentum and make the crowd erupt..

Or another and-1. The way we're shooting and the way we're getting to the rim, we've got to keep attacking.

[Spurs Brazil]

score please

[picc84]

This game is intense.

[TDomination]

good rotations there

[lefty]

Where is Butler ?

[Admidave50]

Damn how did manu not score on this one

[GSH]

That was 6 on Damp and they wouldn't blow the whistle.

[TheProfessor]

Couple of bad turnovers by Duncan down the stretch here.

[Spurologist]

fuck

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Noooo bad pass timmy

[100%duncan]

another turnover it really hurts them alot

[NewJerSpur]

Good foul by Manu.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan has made some very poor decisions in this quarter..

[ffadicted]

So many opportunities wasted... TD's gotta pick it up

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Thank god for Terry sucking

[EmptyMan]

dice looks like his legs are heavy from exhaust

[NewJerSpur]

Great rotations!!

[Death In June]

Dice has shown no hustle this quarter. He's been really late to loose balls.

[Warlord23]

Timmy's played almost 40 of the 43 minutes ... gotta be tiring

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn dice

[lurker]

omg I'm going to kill them all if they don't start knocking these shots down.

[resistanze]

Dumb pass.

[TheProfessor]

Turnovers killing us.

[NewJerSpur]

Great rebound, bad pass.

[100%duncan]

tim forcing it another turnover

[TDomination]

too many TO's here ugh

[ffadicted]

FUUUUUUCK!!!!!! Dice.... :(

[Horse]

How the fuck do we get so careless now?

[Tp9gospursgo]

Great Defense by both teams right now.

[Spurologist]

TURNOVERS!!!!!

Let's go this shit together

[slick'81]

god damn spurs cant put this away

[DMX7]

here we go with the nose puns.

[Ice009]

Fuck these turnovers.

Fucking horrible.

[GSH]

Bad execution down the stretch will lose a game for you. That sucked.

[Crookshanks]

geez - I didn't think Kidd could jump that high

[HarlemHeat37]

McDyess is gassed..

Mavs have the momentum, even though they're losing..they're getting timely rebounds, while the Spurs are making bad decisions and aren't getting to loose balls..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fark, we give up 2 O boards, then get one and throw it away.

:pctoss

[Admidave50]

We can't score a bucket, keep the good D

[Mavzy45]

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TD

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Great pass Hill!

[NewJerSpur]

Great pass hill!!!

[100%duncan]

I love you Hill nice pass

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice job Tim.

[Capt Bringdown]

Don't understand why Dice needed to make the panic play after clearly snatching that board.

[Libri]

don't rush those passes

[angelbelow]

Duncan with the first points of the quarter

[NewJerSpur]

Terry flopping, Dice still going for headfakes.

[slick'81]

who fouled dirk

[ffadicted]

This is the best game I've seen this entire season from any teams to be honest

[Libri]

Dice took Dirk's bait.

[lefty]

kraufl

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

he is the clumsiest mother fucker in the league

[Spurs Brazil]

damn Dice, don't go on those fakes

[TheProfessor]

Dice with the karate chop :lol

[angelbelow]

Damn Dirk

[Spurologist]

Professional foul

[100%duncan]

dice is too tired probably blair?

[Crookshanks]

Dirk should get a Razzie for that horrible acting job

[NewJerSpur]

Game can definitely go either way.

[Admidave50]

Dirk is a fuckin Mav bitch

[Spurologist]

manu pick and roll

[Capt Bringdown]

Dice needs to sit, he's exhausted.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck!

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, Dice overplaying.

[HarlemHeat37]

McDyess is killing all the good he's done..

[100%duncan]

dice sucks

[resistanze]

Dice is playing like a moron.

[Death In June]

No time outs, again? They havent hit a FG since 7:30 mark. WTF pop?

[DJ Mbenga]

dice must not be a good poker player

[ffadicted]

Spurs not clutch at all, missing so many open shots

[Libri]

needs some shots, desperately

[GSH]

Gambling on defense and giving up easy points.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP clutch

[100%duncan]

Tony!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Tony!

[EmptyMan]

parker thank you thank you

[Spurologist]

tp!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheProfessor]

Thank you Parker. And fuck the haters.

[lefty]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck


Manu should have the ball all thetime



Yes TP!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Thank you TP.

Lets play some defense NOW!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Parkeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!!!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Needed that from Tony....big shot for him to be so cold.

[Capt Bringdown]

Dice is killing us

[slick'81]

that a boy tony

[timtonymanu]

Fuck if Bonner had balls we could be resting Dice and Timmy.

[Admidave50]

Huge shot TP

[slick'81]

defense

[Mal]

wow, I`m so stressed about this game

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TP had disappeared... then that HUGE jumper.

[HarlemHeat37]

It's risky as fuck, but I think I go with Bonner over McDyess here..Dice is done, he has no energy left for tonight..

[Ice009]

Fucking great shot tp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

Get manu the ball!

[EmptyMan]

bullshit, that was out on dallas

[slick'81]

horrible call spurs ball

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck, GRAB THE DAMN BOARD

[dbreiden83080]

You just feel like the Spurs are not winning this game

[DJ Mbenga]

terry has to step up. nowitzki is all alone there. his only help is the scrub barrea

[100%duncan]

Hold on to that lead guys!

[Mav-elous Man]

This is a good ass game!!!

[ffadicted]

Can't get a fucking board, can't hit any open shots, can't stop dirk...

[slick'81]

It's risky as fuck, but I think I go with Bonner over McDyess here..Dice is done, he has no energy left for tonight..


agreed his reaching and overplaying everything on dirk

[lefty]

We can`t buy a rebound

[m33p0]

the entire 4th quarter is like the last 2 minutes of a ballgame stretched to 12.

[NewJerSpur]

we need to get the ball out of Dirks hand

Better off doubling him at this point and forcing someone else to beat us.

[DMX7]

We still haven't made one three pointer.

[slick'81]

You just feel like the Spurs are not winning this game


are u serious

[Spurologist]

It's risky as fuck, but I think I go with Bonner over McDyess here..Dice is done, he has no energy left for tonight..

Hell no......Dice has a timeout there to rest

[SpursTillTheEnd]

Dice cant handle the pressure

[Spurs Brazil]

It's risky as fuck, but I think I go with Bonner over McDyess here..Dice is done, he has no energy left for tonight..

agree, Dice is damn tired

[Capt Bringdown]

You just feel like the Spurs are not winning this game

Whoever loses this game loses the series.

Book it

[Shastafarian]

Better off doubling him at this point and forcing someone else to beat us.

I'd rather have a contested 2 from him than an uncontested 3 from Kidd or Turtle.

[stealthjbravo]

im so sick

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Now this is playoff basketball. Incredible game.

It is a privilege to watch elite athletes go at each other with maximum intensity.

[Crookshanks]

Better off doubling him at this point and forcing someone else to beat us.

Anyone except JJ - he's been pretty hot tonight. He needs to sprain an ankle or something so Carlisle has to put Butler back in.

[slick'81]

whoever gets a stop here wins it

[HarlemHeat37]

I still think the Spurs don't win this game without a timely 3-pointer..

Have a bad feeling about this ending, it has Mavs' heroics written all over it IMO..Kidd or Terry 3 or something..

[Mal]

We still haven't made one three pointer.

Now, the only one , would be crucial

[ffadicted]

Need to make fucking clutch plays man

[EmptyMan]

dice is gassed


Manu will save this game.

[100%duncan]

Im going with blair on the court rest dice he will just kill us on D

[poop]

ill bet my balls if Turtle gets off a 3 it will be a perfect swish 100%

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

come on spurs, tighten it up for 2 minutes

[GSH]

That ball was out on Dice. He just got pooned for position by Dampier.

[Warlord23]

Both Duncan and Dice seem gassed at this point. It's gotta be Manu and TP who need to carry us home. And hope that the Mavs miss a few jumpers.

[biziofromdowntown]

Dice is empty for tonight...put Blair or Bonner, we need boards

[DMX7]

this is one of the most evenly played games i've ever seen.

[NewJerSpur]

Got to give the Mavs props for withstanding the physical play and hanging right there with us. We need to keep attacking.

[slick'81]

I still think the Spurs don't win this game without a timely 3-pointer..

Have a bad feeling about this ending, it has Mavs' heroics written all over it IMO..Kidd or Terry 3 or something..


have a lil faith homie

[007nites]

agreed his reaching and overplaying everything on dirk

I agree McDyess has no more energy. Bonner is fresh and he can be more active.

[PBEEZY]

We hit a 3 pointer for the win u heard it here first :lol

[Crookshanks]

I can't believe the Spurs haven't hit a single 3-pointer. Now would be a great time for Manu to hit a timely "Manu Tres"!!!

[Mavzy45]

What a Game!!

[007nites]

Timmy needs more looks inside the paint. Parker needs to drive and dish.

[Cherry]

Please, play smart!

[100%duncan]

nice D

[Spurs Brazil]

great stop

score now

[EmptyMan]

Fcuk yeah hill defense

[picc84]

lol barea

[resistanze]

LMAO Mexismurf.

[slick'81]

[NewJerSpur]

Barea travelled TWICE on that tdrive.

[Libri]

oh yeah, that was great D by Hill

[Death In June]

A 3 would be so sweet right now.

[Spurologist]

Dice looks fine.

[ffadicted]

lol Barea picking up his own airball

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[EmptyMan]

Parker is clutch

[100%duncan]

Tony!

[NewJerSpur]

[Spurologist]

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

[Libri]

[Tp9gospursgo]

[Horse]

[NewJerSpur]

That's why you double Dirk right now....

[EmptyMan]

[Admidave50]

[TDomination]

Ahhhhh!!! Parker almost had that!

[Mal]

Whaat, why 2 pointer :(

[biziofromdowntown]

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

[picc84]

Parkers really improved that J over the years.

[Ice009]

Great fucking shot tp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slick'81]

dirk gets bailed out there should of been a jump ball
