[Spurs Brazil]

I think it was stupid Monroe

[siraulo23]

wow

[carina_gino20]

I'd hate to be Rick Carlisle right now. :lol

[Crookshanks]

I'd hate to be Rick Carlisle right now. :lol

You can tell he's really pissed. But he's not making any excuses.

[Brazil]

Carlisle... so coach the spurs big 3 shooting 20% and you still lost, humm what do you think?

[polandprzem]

Jim Carey is pissed but keeps his cool

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Carlisle thinks getting Najera more run is a key to game 5? LOL...

[Trimble87]

Carlisle just said "Maybe we should play najera more, he was only in a short time but he made an aggressive play.."


.... You will never convince me he didn't send him int he game to take someone out. Fuck this guy.

[Spurs Brazil]

Carlisle said he'll play more Najera. Good news for us

[DPG21920]

Who has been interviewed so far?

[Spurologist]

Who has been interviewed so far?

Both coaches so far

[Pero]

Damn I only saw Carlisle, what did Pop and others (if there were) say?

[Mal]

Damn I only saw Carlisle, what did Pop and others (if there were) say?

Pop was just Pop. He gave props to Blair, Hill, Dice.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

george on now

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill!!!

[siraulo23]

george is on wheeewwwww

[Crookshanks]

Georgie looks so happy - but why isn't anyone asking questions? Are they afraid?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Carlisle just said "Maybe we should play najera more, he was only in a short time but he made an aggressive play.."


.... You will never convince me he didn't send him int he game to take someone out. Fuck this guy.

Listening to the post-game here in Dallas. Radio guys are saying that Carlisle sent in Najera and told him to send a message on the next player to go into the paint for SA.

Bush league play by a bush league scrub reserve on behalf of his bush league coach.

:td

[easjer]

Brent Barry still rocks my world. That question was fucking awesome.

[ShoogarBear]

WTF, Brent's trying to ask Hill a question from NBA-TV: "Did you talk to Tony Parker because you started at point guard and didn't have an assist?"

I think he's trying to be funny, but the fortunately the feed isn't going through to Hill.

[Crookshanks]

Carlisle just said "Maybe we should play najera more, he was only in a short time but he made an aggressive play.."


.... You will never convince me he didn't send him int he game to take someone out. Fuck this guy.

I agree - that happened waaaay to fast to be an accident. And then for Carlisle to specifically mention him is suspect.

[emanueldavidginobili]

hillllll, and wow pop actually looked happy, you could tell.

[usckk]

LOL! Hill just gave Ian a shot out!

[usckk]

LOL at Hill talking about CIA Pop.

[ShoogarBear]

What is it with all these guys trying to ask funny questions?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

what kind of question is "do you think you belong to the league"

[siraulo23]

wow, how long has hill been there

[usckk]

LOL Hill has been talking about the Big Three the whole press conference. And then, when asked about if he was in the Big Four. He said he doesn't believe in things like the Big Three.

[siraulo23]

omg, finally loooool

[Crookshanks]

Once they got warmed up - man they're asking all kinds of questions. And George is doing a great job - humble, but intelligent.

[clubalien]

some punk asked hill when he knew he belonged

I cannot wait till spurs cavs and the press asks lebron do you belong here

[wut]

hillllll, and wow pop actually looked happy, you could tell.

Yeh I mean his favorite player scored 29 freakin pts :lol

[siraulo23]

LOL Hill has been talking about the Big Three the whole press conference. And then, when asked about if he was in the Big Four. He said he doesn't believe in things like the Big Three.

:lol, i was like wtf

[duncan228]

Hill well-spoken. He's grown in every way. Great fit for this team.

[emanueldavidginobili]

wow george is a great speaker.

[polandprzem]

damn that press , you got to wait like 5 minutes for the next guy. Badly made

[NRHector]

Wow!!!Hill answering questions with class

[easjer]

Hill did a good job.

Yes there are a lot of comedians. Still loved Brent Barry's question.

I'm really enjoying Brent Barry, Shane Battier together. Too bad you can't have Sean Elliott in there too.

[clubalien]

hope they send out najera .. he is a san antonio fav

[polandprzem]

Is there gonna be anybody else?

I mean I got some sleep in my bed and I need to pick it up

[Crookshanks]

I bet they're waiting on Dirk - he takes forever to get out of the locker room. What's he doing - shaving his legs?

[ffadicted]

LOL Hill has been talking about the Big Three the whole press conference. And then, when asked about if he was in the Big Four. He said he doesn't believe in things like the Big Three.

lol i noticed that too, so hilarious

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:lol

[polandprzem]

F dat

nite O'

[siraulo23]

dirk on

[ca®lo]

dirk on

[ffadicted]

Dirk's body language man... kinda feel bad for the guy

[Strike]

Wow. Dirk sounds completely defeated.

[usckk]

Dirk described the night more adequately than Carlisle.

[lefty]

[Brazil]

Dirk is a great pro

[carina_gino20]

Dirk is on.

[Trimble87]

Dirk needs some anti-depressants stat!

[Pero]

Dirk's body language man... kinda feel bad for the guy

Yeah, me too.

[DespЏrado]

Dirk = series over.

[ShoogarBear]

Dirk is on where? I don't see him on NBA-TV or ESPNNews.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

http://www.nba.com/playoffs2010/live1/

[Trimble87]

Dirk just mentioned our rotation defense... He hit it spot on. All their 3's were contested. best defense I have seen from this team this season.

[easjer]

Just what I was thinking, Shoog.

[DespЏrado]

first post of the thread shoogar.

[Saul Silver]

Dirk: "Hill was unconscious."

WTF :lmao

[longhorn]

Dirk is on where? I don't see him on NBA-TV or ESPNNews.

http://www.nba.com/playoffs2010/live1/

[ShoogarBear]

Ah, thanks. :tu

[usckk]

Wow, Dirk is more intuned about tonight. I'm really impressed. He basically contradicted Carlises, saying it wasn't effort that was the problem but excecution.

[lefty]

oops Finals question :lol

[SpurAddict561]

holy shit can you even hear him?

I have the vol blasted and can't hear him

he is beat

[ShoogarBear]

Actually, every time I've seen Dirk after a loss he looks like that.

[Pero]

holy shit can you even hear him?

I have the vol blasted and can't hear him

he is beat

I hear him easily...

[greyforest]

Dirk: "Hill was unconscious."

WTF :lmao

lots of people use that word to describe when shooters are hot

[EmptyMan]

I feel bad watching Dirk look so deflated up there.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

gee these reporters can't stop torturing dirk

[lefty]

gee these reporters can't stop torturing dirk
:lol

Getting back to the Finals ?

You sucked tonight

What's next? you are in such a hole

[clubalien]

I would have asked dirk if this game made him consider opting out and signing with the spurs.

[NRHector]

I feel bad watching Dirk look so deflated up there.Probably right now he wishes he was with the Spurs, but I feel bad for him too

[Dr Cox]

not going to lie ...after watching that...i got more respect for dirk


good professional player and person

[lefty]

I feel bad for Dirk

The man is so hard-working and classy

[siraulo23]

whos next? mine isnt loading anymore?

[lefty]

whos next? mine isnt loading anymore?
I think its over

[greyforest]

not going to lie ...after watching that...i got more respect for dirk


good professional player and person

i've always liked dirk, its too bad he's on that gay ass team

[Crookshanks]

I see I'm not the only one who felt sorry for Dirk. He looked so dejected and defeated - it has to be the hardest part of the job to have to do post-game pressers after a loss like that. I'll bet the Mavs are glad it's a short flight home.

[easjer]

I don't always like Dirk, but that was rough. I do feel bad for the guy.

[Spurologist]

I feel bad for Dirk

The man is so hard-working and classy

We trade Bogans for Dirk straight up.....add a first rounder to seal the deal

[lefty]

We trade Bogans for Dirk straight up.....add a first rounder to seal the deal
Yeah, that deal should work :lol

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Wow. Dirk sounds completely defeated.

I'm sure he knows that sinking feeling well by now.

[wut]

Wow... Dirks post-game: The classic 'I don't know what to say they're just good' speech....that's when you know the fat lady is about to sing.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

We trade Bogans for Dirk straight up.....add a first rounder to seal the deal

Centerpiece for centerpiece. Sounds good.

[bigfan]

Ive always felt Dirk has been a class act throughout his HoF career. He aint TD but hes damn good and seems to be a nice guy who plays his ass off.

[arles]

Man, Dirk was devastated...
I really feel sorry for him.
:depressed

Anyways, great game and good press conference
:flag:

[wut]

Dirk is a lot like David Robinson ... a guy with amazing amount of talent, but some consider "soft" or lacking in the "killer instinct" department....I think the truth is that they just don't have the right kind of guys surrounding him.

Btw, Brent Barry's comment after Dirk spoke was 'Man.....after listening to Dirk's post-game ...it's like listening to Kenny G would be more uplifting.' :lmao

[NewJerSpur]

I have so much man-love for Hill right now, it's ridiculous. Props to Dirk for giving props.
"Hill was unconscious."

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Anyone know where to watch a replay of the Dirk interview? That live stream is over.

[Stringer_Bell]

When I caught the Hill portion, I liked how he said something to the effect of..."Everyone on the bench, doesn't matter who, the big 3 will ride with them." We riderz ya'll, guns up! Let's close the Mavs out in Dallas before they sneak up on us.

[carina_gino20]

I'll be back to hating Dirk when he draws fould by shooting jump shots...

but I felt bad for him in that press conference. He looked so defeated. Props to him for giving props to the Spurs.

[ShoogarBear]

Anyone know where to watch a replay of the Dirk interview? That live stream is over.

NBA-TV will probably replay it. They're replaying Pop's presser now.

[NewJerSpur]

When I caught the Hill portion, I liked how he said something to the effect of..."Everyone on the bench, doesn't matter who, the big 3 will ride with them." We riderz ya'll, guns up! Let's close the Mavs out in Dallas before they sneak up on us.

Yeah, he was saying that to him there is no Big 3 per se (although we know differently, lol) and that he just looks at the Spurs as a team. Humble, humble kid.

[carina_gino20]

Anyone know where to watch a replay of the Dirk interview? That live stream is over.

It'll probably be up here later: http://www.nba.com/video/. But I think they'll only upload snippets like they usually do.

[ace3g]

Barry had Hill speechless or didn't hear the question since Barry was in the NBATV studio but his question was "I wonder if you had gotten any pointers from Parker since I noticed at the PG spot you didn't have any assists." lol , not sure if Hill didn't get Barry's sense of humor or just didn't hear the question.

[TD4THREE]

Barry had Hill speechless or didn't hear the question since Barry was in the NBATV studio but his question was "I wonder if you had gotten any pointers from Parker since I noticed at the PG spot you didn't have any assists." lol , not sure if Hill didn't get Barry's sense of humor or just didn't hear the question.I'm not sure what that was about. Can they even ask questions during a press conference?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Can someone post the individual links to the post conference if available?

[Budkin]

Dirk's one of the few guys on the Mavs that really seems like a decent dude. He's had a lot of shitty luck and you feel for him, but they've owned the Spurs the last few years, and it's about fucking time we got some revenge for 2006.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Wow Dirk is crushed. He'S going to end up like Malone and Barkley with no rings but all kinds of personal achievements, I like Dirk as a player.

[outmap]

Dirk for the MLE! :D

[EricB]

Theres a part of me that feels bad for him.

He busts his ass, and sacrifices for the team He seemed to elude to that he's been asked to shoot less in his answers.

[ducks]

I feel bad for Dirk

The man is so hard-working and classykicking bikes is classy
kicking a basketball into the stands is classy?
(not in this series yet)

[SpurOutofTownFan]

He was basically asked to shoot less tonight and give plays to Butter and Mariana - good job.

I feel for him.

I think he could be a great acquisition for the spurs in about 4 years when he's 34 and still looking for that ring.

[MavDynasty]

The sad thing is, after practice on Saturday followed game 3 Dirk was the ONLY one who stayed after to work on his game. No not Kidd, not Marion, not Butler...just Dirk. I love his work ethic

[rr2418]

Off the court Dirk might be a nice guy, but feeling sorry for him? I don't think so! You shouldn't feel sorry for the enemy..ever!! The times I've seen Dirk at press conferences, he always looks like that win or lose. LOL, that guy you all are feeling for will probably come out scoring 20 points in the 1stQ.
