Game Blog: 2010 Playoffs Round 1 - Spurs vs. Mavs, Game 4

[Death In June]

Manu's crazy fearless. Can't fault him when he's not shooting the ball well. Tim and Tony need to do contribute..

[lefty]

Nice to see Manu still going to the rim after that flagrant :tu

[Mal]

I`m sure Najera was there only to hurt Manu

[WildcardManu]

lol manu turns on his back towards the basket when driving in if he knows there's a foul coming

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

jesus...manu plays his face out...

[tlongII]

Playoff basketball baby!

[DPG21920]

Get a stop and score and make this a 3 possession game.

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu knows how to break down that zone, yes!

[m33p0]

manu is a freaking warrior

[DPG21920]

Perfect rotation.

[peskypesky]

Manu has to control the ball till the end of the game.

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, nice play Dirk.

[DPG21920]

Damn it Tim.

[lefty]

Manu circa 2006

[ffadicted]

Shit.... nice aggressive pay by dirk

[4>0rings]

WTF manu?

[Cherry]

fuck

[carina_gino20]

2006 Manu :lol

[timtonymanu]

Shit!

[Ice009]

Bad foul there.

[BanditHiro]

wtf duncan why are you so scared

[Death In June]

Why have they gone away from George?

[DPG21920]

2006 flashback.

[lefty]

Flashback from 2006

Manu WTF

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck Manu, bad shot, bad foul

[SpurOutofTownFan]

The Spurs need to settle down a little bit and close out this game. They don't need to up the tempo now.

[Chomag]

What is up with Manu chunking up there bad shots this game

[CFH]

Gotta stop fouling...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fark. We got mixed up on our rotations there. Damn.

Another game that is going down to the wire.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

dice was wide open and he passed it back to manu...

[alchemist]

that's Manu, you live with it :wakeup

[quentin_compson]

Shit, that would have been a huge three by Manu. Now it's a three-point play for Nowitzki the other way.

[NewJerSpur]

We need scores and stops down the stretch (understatment of the playoffs).

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs lacking 3-point shooting AGAIN..Hill is the only one making them tonight..you can't win too many games without 3-point shooting..Manu needs to start making some shots..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Just force Dirk to shoot jumpers, he's a lot better driving to the basket than people give him credit for

ahhhh

[DJ Mbenga]

saving that zone for the 4th

[BanditHiro]

duncan needs to man up and take it to the basket and not just throw it out

[Spurs Brazil]

TP better come back agressive and attaking

[NewJerSpur]

Manu circa 2006

Please don't bring that up. :lol

[Spurologist]

Flashback from 2006

Manu WTF

please don't bring that shit up......

[m33p0]

:smchode:

[peskypesky]

i'm glad pop took Blair out and completely FUCKED our momentum.

[Whisky Dog]

Need to keep attacking the basket. P&R and attack the basket. We'll get the calls now that the refs are scared.

[Horse]

They passed it around like they were scared to shoot Pop needs to call something to get Timmy an easy shot and get him going.

[polandprzem]

1 possession game fuckin' fVck

[Pauleta14]

Manu is -8 and Tony is +9 ....

this +/- stat realy means nothing...

[Mal]

Pop, do what you have to do on this timeout and win this game

[Spurs Brazil]

Keep attacking the zone, they will foul and we'll go to the line

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

i'm proud of my avatar at this moment

...and I my signature. :)

It was just a matter of time - the playoffs are at a different level of intensity, and once he caught up to that we were sure to see the real Grizzly emerge, as we have today.

[DespЏrado]

This game could still easily slip away if we stop hustling on defense... The third quarter was all predicated on getting stops. We don't do that and we are right back to the crap that got us down by 15.

[NewJerSpur]

Just force Dirk to shoot jumpers, he's a lot better driving to the basket than people give him credit for

ahhhh

He really is, it's because of the headfake and the threat of the jumper. He's one of the most difficult people to guard in the league.

[boutons_deux]

still a very close game.

if Tim could find his game...

[SpursTillTheEnd]

If DeJuan Blair had ACLs, nobody else would ever get a rebound

[Warlord23]

We need Manu to just attack the middle of the zone like he did a couple of plays back. Someone needs to nut up and make a few threes.

[Ice009]

We gotta make sure they don't score if you foul.

[Blackjack]

I've gotta wonder how Manu's legs are feeling. We need him to live at the line, which legs would be useful for, and not settle for long 3's.

GET TO THE LINE!

[DPG21920]

Attack, Manu. Attack.

[boutons_deux]

still a very close game.

if Tim could find his game...

[Horse]

please don't bring that shit up......
Except this time he actually fouled dick.

[NewJerSpur]

Props to the Mavs. They came to play, and they aren't going to go down without a fight, if at all.

[Spurologist]

i'm glad pop took Blair out and completely FUCKED our momentum.

pop brought back TD in the game with Dice.....

we need out best lineup out there to close it out

Tp, manu, RJ, Dice, TD

[EmptyMan]

damn, blair would have wrecked dirk.

He turned around and got serious for a second there :lol

[DPG21920]

I love how Terry runs up after fouls like he is going to do something. What a bitch.

[NewJerSpur]

Attack the zone!!

[CFH]

Duncan to Dice

[Mal]

We need effort from big 3 right now

[EmptyMan]

Enough cannot be said about Dyess this series

[DPG21920]

Great play by Tim.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

dice! td nice pass!

[NewJerSpur]

Thank GOD.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Pnr to hi-low pass. Very nice.

[peskypesky]

[NewJerSpur]

Nice pass Kidd.

[L.I.T]

Good lord almighty. Hill is channeling Manu and TP.

[DPG21920]

Thats ok. Run him off the 3 point line.

[BanditHiro]

please refs can you at least call the foul when he has the ball

[lefty]

Horrible D

[lefty]

[Death In June]

Parker has been incredibly clutch in the 4th.

[BigJoeD]

Go spurs.

[NewJerSpur]

We're coming up clutch. Expand the cushion.

[peskypesky]

[DPG21920]

Big miss by Dirk. That had me nervous. Keep making shots TP.

[Warlord23]

George Hill is the freaking man

[myhc]

did anyobdy hear that? that's the sound of my jaw dropping to the floor.

:wow

[Mal]

Hill is great

[picc84]

Hill should have gotten MIP.

[angelbelow]

Doug Collins has a new love.

[EmptyMan]

[benefactor]

Woooooo!!!! Break them!!!!

[flame]

Hill needs a pay raise.

[Ice009]

George hill!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

George FUCKING HILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Big miss by Dirk. That had me nervous. Keep making shots TP.

Me too. Dirk's getting gassed and it's all Najera's fault.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Damn. These kids are HERE already. They are not just learning about the playoffs, they look like grizzled playoff veterans. AWESOME.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

George Hill is a fucking god today!

[lefty]

Hill : " Hi Jason; my name is Geroge Hill, and you are now my bitch "

[SpurAddict561]

I'm buying a Blair AND a Hill jersey right now

fuck the bullshit

[peskypesky]

Dallas is rattled. their shots won't fall like they did in the first half. Spurs have to play smart and get this!

[angelbelow]

hill playing out of his mind saving the spurs

Yea he "saved" the Spurs

[NewJerSpur]

Doug Collins has a new love.

:lol:lol:lol

[Spurologist]

Pop has quite a conundrum...

He has to end the game with two out of these three players: manu, Hill, tp

[Whisky Dog]

George Hill picked a perfect time to transform into Little Manu. Must have gotten some of that Manu blood on him last game.

[TPnumber1]

hill with his best game at the best moment

[Spurs Brazil]

Let's keep the great D

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Whatever happens this year, these are awesome signs for the future of the franchise.

Our kids are all grown up! :lol

[DPG21920]

Somebody trade TP!

[peskypesky]

i fucking HATE watching games like this alone. :(

[angelbelow]

Lets see if Blair can play like this on the road though.. hes clearly been more active at home but the first 2 games in Dallas he was a careless mess.

[Capt Bringdown]

Man, I knew Hill was good, but this?

The announcer's right, this kid's an ASSASSIN!

[lefty]

No double team please

Dice can play Dirk straight up

[ffadicted]

Pop has quite a conundrum...

He has to end the game with two out of these three players: manu, Hill, tp

TP, Hill, Manu, TD, Dice

Jefferson hasn't shown enough, I wouldn't mind that lineup

[spurspokesman]

Doug Collins has a new love.

Yup georgie porgie

[Technique]

Hill should have gotten MIP.
This, most improved player on a play-off caliber team as opposed to the rockets. They probably didn't even factor in the fact that gh3 is an elite defender.

[OldSilentHill]

Thank you George Hill, from the bottom of my heart.

[Rorschach]

Hill = Super Seian Bowen

Spurs looking good despite Timmy not doing jack shit tonight! Happy Birthday Timmy!

[DPG21920]

Just close it out boys. Lock them down defensively and you win. TP, keep hitting shots and Hill, stay aggressive.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i fucking HATE watching games like this alone. :(

u not alone! brah

[Dex]

6 more minutes.

Focus, Spurs.

[myhc]

focus guys. this is far from over.

[flame]

Pop has quite a conundrum...

He has to end the game with two out of these three players: manu, Hill, tp

Ooh good point. Manu hasn't been playing great today but he's so clutch.....parker is starting to hit shots and play better....and hill is god.

I honestly don't know who you would choose. Maybe put all 3 in with Timmy and McD?

[NewJerSpur]

Hill offseason shooting has paid dividends....it was the main thing I felt he needed to improve to take his game to the next level. Good work man.

[peskypesky]

i need a fucking drink

[Crookshanks]

Thank you Georgie! Who would've thought we'd have a 10-point lead halfway thru the 4th and Timmy still wouldn't have a field goal?

[mVp]

Give the ball to Hill and GTFO!

[peskypesky]

u not alone! brah

true. i got you guys!

[lefty]

Mavs ona 25-0 run

[DespЏrado]

Lets see if Blair can play like this on the road though.. hes clearly been more active at home but the first 2 games in Dallas he was a careless mess.

Uh rookies always play crappy their first few playoff games. Always.

[phxspurfan]

Ok, I just got home and clicked on the TV. Spurs by about 7 or 8. What did I miss?

Why is Manu on the sidelines with a bandage on his nose? I know he broke it but did he re-break it today? Is he wearing the mask?

Why does TD only have 2 points?

[Brazil]

good job chasing kidd TP!

[Mal]

u not alone! brah

I cant shout. All family is sleeping, cause it`s 3 am in Poland

[angelbelow]

Wow Kidd taking it himself lol

[m33p0]

Hill is proving why we don't need Tony Parker!:flag:

stfu

[CFH]

Great defense!!!

[NewJerSpur]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT DEFENSE!!!! Mavs losing it.

[peskypesky]

[Spurologist]

[lefty]

[Spurologist]

TP, Hill, Manu, TD, Dice

Jefferson hasn't shown enough, I wouldn't mind that lineup

[Ice009]

Great play tp!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

[Sisk]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Watch out, here come the cheap shots.

Time for Terry to kick/punch someone in the balls! :lmao

[angelbelow]

Uh rookies always play crappy their first few playoff games. Always.

Yea but Blair is no ordinary rookie.. Hes looked like one but im hoping he snaps out of it in Dallas.

[ffadicted]

2.07 points per shot for Hill

Hill > Kobe :lol

[m33p0]

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

[peskypesky]

[DPG21920]

Get stops. Come on. Foul him.

[DespЏrado]

[peskypesky]

[NewJerSpur]

[OrEmuN]

Duncan is contributing to the game despite not scoring. 7 ast !

[DPG21920]

Too easy right now for the Mavs. Have to make them run clock. No layups.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim with a huge tap to put it back in double figures.

[Crookshanks]

Happy Birthday Timmy - your 1st field goal this game

[peskypesky]

[NewJerSpur]

Damn Tony.

[DPG21920]
