Game Blog: 2010 Playoffs Round 1 - Spurs vs. Mavs, Game 5

[Death In June]

What a lineup

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice Tony!

[sa_butta]

Tony owns the troll.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice drive Tony.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

tony attacks!!!! =D

[SpurAddict561]

who's officiating? this feed sucks

[sa_butta]

He looks like fuckin Willow.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason is a fucking joke

[Spurologist]

Tp with a beautiful drive!

Mason on Dirk = fuck me

21-16 mavs

[Whisky Dog]

It's on FSNSW.

In Dallas it's on TXA 21. Baseball game is on fsnsw

[Spursmania]

Bonner and his usual suckage continues.

[Bartleby]

Fucking Bonner

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 3333333333333333333333333333333333333

[TIMMYD!]

What is Pop thinking? Your biggest player on the court cannot be 6-7.
FTL

[superjames1992]

Bonner is 2-3. Very nice.

[TampaDude]

Butler shitting all over us again.

[Spurologist]

BOnnnnnnnnerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

3333333333333333

finaaaalllllyyyyyyyyy

[Sobe_Kucks]

Dirk blows pasr RMJ.... there's a Surprise.

[NewJerSpur]

No call for Tony, BS call for Terry.

[4>0rings]

Mason you're hot garbage.

[Spurs Brazil]

Get Mason OUT

MOTHER FUCKER SON OF A BITCH TERRIBLE PLAYER. I HATE MASON

[Death In June]

All mason can do is run out of the way or foul. He's fucking beyond useless.

[L.I.T]

2 3s for Bonner.

[sammy]

WTF Parker gets hacked and the fucking Terry gets a call? WTF!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Fuck you mason gtfo

[Warlord23]

Parker is losing the ball in the lane far too often in this series

[Ice009]

Mason Jr sucks ass.

TP has to stop getting that ball stripped.
Everytime Tp gets it stripped it seems to give the Mavs momentum.

[TDfan2007]

RMJ can't even begin to stop his man.

The guys are playing like they expect to lose this game.

[Ice009]

Mason Jr sucks ass.

TP has to stop getting that ball stripped.
Everytime Tp gets it stripped it seems to give the Mavs momentum.

[Sobe_Kucks]

Shit Blair! Keep those fouls in check. But what do we expect with this awesome defensive lineup.

[Spursmania]

Terry is such a pos.

[Spurologist]

Najera is fucking pissing me off

[Juanobili]

TP and Terry talkin smack!

[carina_gino20]

Lol at Pop playing this lineup in the plyoffs. :pctoss

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Tony

[NewJerSpur]

Caron overdoing it, nice.

[Spursmania]

TP pissed!

[TDfan2007]

how in the fuck are we only down 4?

[lurker]

lol Najera is a bitch.

[TIMMYD!]

6 point defecit isn't too bad for the lineups we had out there.

[Spursmania]

Mason -what a joke.

[4>0rings]

:lmao mason

[TDfan2007]

make it six...

[Juanobili]

Did I just see RMJ run behind his man? lmao

[Ice009]

fucking pathetic RMJ.

[Death In June]

At least that sucktastic lineup was able to trade baskets for the most part.

[superjames1992]

Why is Mason even out there? He can't shoot or defend?
He's playing the minutes that Manu would normally play, but he has two fouls.

[benefactor]

All things considered...it could be worse.

[TampaDude]

We turned the ball over 3 or 4 times and only trail by 6. We'll have the lead at halftime.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

please please please get RMJ out pleaseeeee

[duncan228]

Could have been worse. Tighten the defense, keep it close.

[Bartleby]

Spurs played turrible, but lucky to be down only 6 after one.

[Spursmania]

How much rest did Timmy and Manu get?

[Spurs Brazil]

Dallas up 27-21 after one

Not bad with that terrile lineup to finish the quarter

[Seventyniner]

No more Mason. Ever. I'm serious. Really.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Mason is so remarkably useless out there it has to be some kind of a phenomenon

Down 6 despite the Mavs best punch. Spurs HAVE to take it to the rack more as well as clog the lane. Don't need another 34-14 FT advantage in this game.

Nice to see Bonner hittin' some 3's.

[m33p0]

just 6 points? i say they're in trouble

[TDfan2007]

seeing Mason and Bogans out there reminds me of...well...have we had players this bad since 2003?

[Whisky Dog]

Not a bad first, wouldve liked the stop at the end but this game will be won by keeping it close through three then dominating in the 4th.

[Quiet Strength]

Man that lineup was fucking bullshit.. the spurs should be losing by 50. Hopefully they can still get a win tonight.

[Sobe_Kucks]

RMJ is so bad I'd actually rahter see Bogans get some PT over him. That means you suck b@lls RMJ!

[NewJerSpur]

Lol at Pop playing this lineup in the plyoffs. :pctoss

My estimation is that Pop is resting the big guns for later in the game so as not to weigh on them trying to put the game away early and cause them to get gassed down the stretch. Like in Game 2, we're surviving thanks to Tony, and Matt has shown up as well.

[Spursmania]

I thought they would have a double digit lead considering our turnovers.

[01Snake]

Put Temple in there over Mason or bring back Hill.

This. Play Temple for Christs sake!

[sammy]

Najera trying to cheapshot Parker and Pop had to remind the fucking refs about it, you would think these assholes would watch this piece of shit closely! WTF!

[benefactor]

Just weather the storm.























...and nail Mason back to the bench.

[Spurs Brazil]

If Pop want to play one more wing player play Bogans. At least he can play some D

[Warlord23]

With Dirk and Butler shooting the ball well, I thought we did well to stay within 6, especially given the personnel we put out there.

[Spurologist]

Team that leads after the first quarter has won the game.........until today

[duncan228]

How much rest did Timmy and Manu get?

Duncan played 9 minutes, Manu played 7.

[CFH]

Surprised the Spurs are only down 6 with that lineup, could've been worse.

[sa_butta]

At least Mason is consistent with his suckage.

[SASPURS09]

bad announcers and a giant mexican pain in spurs ass

[Pauleta14]

Parker is losing the ball in the lane far too often in this series


It also depends on the (lack of) respect from the refs...

[HarlemHeat37]

-Mason missed a rotation and got beat in the only 2 defensive assignments he was a part of..he's just too much of a liability at this point..if Pop is going to play a scrub veteran, I'd rather have Bogans out there..Mason just sucks way too much..

-The Mavs have made a great adjustment on McDyess and it could severely limit him..McDyess has NO ability to do anything offensively other than his automatic mid-range J..the Mavs are now running him off the J, forcing him to drive and pass, something he was horrible at doing this year..great adjustment..I wonder what Pop does to counter since the Mavs seem to be focused on this, at least according to the strategy for this quarter..

-Mavs came out with energy, as expected..Spurs need to counter and stay within 6 by halftime..

[Horse]

Not too bad, actually got some rest without things getting out of control. However we are on pace for mavs to be +20 at the line again mavs FT 7 Spurs FT 2.

[024]

it's kind of amazing how much time jefferson can spend in the game and how little impact he will have.

[007nites]

Timmy and Manu got some good rest in the first. I hope they come out big in the second and get some other guys involved as well.

[SpurAddict561]

if we win tonight I'm gonna take a shit in a Dirk jersey and sell it on eBay.

any takers?

[Crookshanks]

Dallas up 27-21 after one

Not bad with that terrile lineup to finish the quarter

The team that has lead after the 1st quarter has gone on to win the game each time. Let's hope the Spurs can change that trend tonight. But it seems like the Spurs aren't playing with much urgency. And why is Pop playing Mason? Could be a loooooonnnnngggggg night. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

One nice thing is TP is in attacking mode. Keep that Tony

[blizz]

Why does Terry have to get in the middle of EVERY scrum on the court? He had NOTHING to do with that play that was questionable by Najera and he just HAD to get involved. He did that in the last game when Najera fouled Gino. I fucking HATE that little asshole.

[Ice009]

Najera is doing a good job. He is an enforcer and he's doing it well. Spurs gotta play and forget about that shit.

[ShoogarBear]

The Spurs don't want to waste this contribution from Bonner.

[phxspurfan]

Here we go...NBATV trying to win an emmy again

[ajGambino]

http://packerwatch.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/mora-playoffs.png?w=466&h=361

Mason?!

[Sobe_Kucks]

Only down 6 is a major positive with the garbage we've thrown out there. But... every team that has won the first qtr has won the game in this series. Cmon Spurs...

[Blackjack]

Manu doesn't look all there and RJ and 'Dyess have been sloppy.

Pop playing Bonner, Blair and Mason ... it must be a managing minute thing; I guess Pop could be hoping for a breakthrough performance from Mason, though (which is highly, highly, highly unlikely).

The guys have to up the intensity and get their collective heads in the game; watch the turnovers!

[Bartleby]

Najera trying to cheapshot Parker and Pop had to remind the fucking refs about it, you would think these assholes would watch this piece of shit closely! WTF!


And the Dallas announcers applauded Najera for not backing down . . . against a fucking point guard!

[blizz]

If you're gonna put RMJ out there....and he's THAT bad...why not take a chance on Temple? I don't get it.

[Spurs Brazil]

Pass the ball Blair

[Blackjack]

Manu doesn't look all there and RJ and 'Dyess have been sloppy.

Pop playing Bonner, Blair and Mason ... it must be a managing minute thing; I guess Pop could be hoping for a breakthrough performance from Mason, though (which is highly, highly, highly unlikely).

The guys have to up the intensity and get their collective heads in the game; watch the turnovers!

[TDomination]

almost started off with a TO

[DesignatedT]

Someone please tel manu to stop standing around shooting 3s af take the fucking ball to the rim. If we shoot jumpers like this all game it's over. It starts with Manu taking it to the rim. Props to Tony so far tonight.

[Death In June]

Same lineup? Fuck...

[sammy]

Damn it Blair!

[NewJerSpur]

Lame Flop.

[Spursmania]

Nice Flop midget.

[Refocus]

Why the FUCK is Pop playing mason..

[TDomination]

Parker is going to have to take over

[stealthjbravo]

has pop thrown the towel in already?

[Spurs Brazil]

Marion Killing Bonner

[sa_butta]

cant stand that shot.

[Sobe_Kucks]

Weather the storm and punch them back in the face. We need a run to make them open up a big can of quit. D UP SPURS!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Bonner cannot guard Marion.

[Spursmania]

Matrix is kicking it up a notch.

[Capt Bringdown]

it's kind of amazing how much time jefferson can spend in the game and how little impact he will have.

Spurs need to make a better effort in getting him involved. Tony's ball-hog antics ain't gonna cut it tonight.

[m33p0]

flopping burrito

[HarlemHeat37]

Marion has so much confidence when he's up against Bonner..

[TDomination]

i am LOVING Parkers aggression!!!

[Spurologist]

Announcer: "pretty good position by Barrea"

:lol Lil Burrito flops on every possession

[Spursmania]

Marion Killing Bonner

Who doesn't?:(

[Admidave50]

Damn Butler and Marion getting hot is not good

[TIMMYD!]

Is it just me or does it seem like Marion's only offensive game consists of a little floater?

[sammy]

Why does Terry have to get in the middle of EVERY scrum on the court? He had NOTHING to do with that play that was questionable by Najera and he just HAD to get involved. He did that in the last game when Najera fouled Gino. I fucking HATE that little asshole.

Someone needs to lay the wood on that punkass bitch!

[Bartleby]

Parker's trying to do too much. He needs some help out there.

[Spurs Brazil]

This lineup SUCKS

[Death In June]

Sit mason the fuck down.

[TDfan2007]

Lol we're not even trying to play defense or rebound right now.

[Sobe_Kucks]

Dammit Blair!!!

[Quiet Strength]

This lineup is a joke

[Spurologist]

Fuck...tp....Blair was wide open inside....pass the rock

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

stop.the.ball

[Ice009]

Spurs are not here. COME ON SPURS. GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME.

[Spursmania]

I'm not sure what Pop is waiting for as far as putting our real guys in.

[TDomination]

This will quickly turn into a blowout if the spurs as a WHOLE don't turn up soon

[ShoogarBear]

Do we really need more Mason?

[MavDynasty]

wtf was tony doing?He had brendan haywood on him and decided to shoot OVER him instead of passing to Blair who was guarded by Barea LOL

[Crookshanks]

This is really ugly already. It's like someone took over the Spurs players while they were sleeping - this is not the same team that won that last 3 games.

[NewJerSpur]

This game is looking REALLY ugly so far. Got to start putting something together shortly....Pop's going to have to sub the starters back in soon.

[stealthjbravo]

What the fuck is pop thinking?

[Whisky Dog]

This is a long time with this lineup. Pop's really pushing it with the worst possible lineup he can play.

[Admidave50]

You gotta fucking kidding me by the off rebounds gotten By Kidd and DwarfBarea

[superjames1992]

Marion is too quick for Bonner. This might be a place where small ball wouldn't be a bad idea.

[sammy]

Why aren't Timmy and Manu not in the game! WTF is Pop doing! TP needs to get the rest of the team involved! Hill is in the game, pass him the ball!

[Refocus]

Why doesn't Pop want to win this game?? ...

[HarlemHeat37]

Like I said before the game, if the Spurs get down early like last game, it's over..Dallas isn't going to choke the lead 2 games in a row, Spurs can't be coming out with no energy like this..

Everybody looks like shit, not matching Dallas' intensity and energy..

[TampaDude]

LOL Barea...

[Spursmania]

Lucky to!

[Sobe_Kucks]

Marion has so much confidence when he's up against Bonner..

EVERYONE is confident when Bonner is on them!

[TDomination]

lucky there, unforced TO by the Mavs

[Capt Bringdown]

I smell a blow out, Spurs look completely out of sorts.

[4>0rings]

Same shit last game in the first 2q's. Spurs lifeless.

[carina_gino20]

Who's really surprised with this. Up 3-1. No sense of urgency. Pop looking like he doesn't care and playing this shitty lineup.

[Sobe_Kucks]

We need more Dallas turnovers!!!

[TIMMYD!]

We can't say we didn't expect this.

[superjames1992]

Blair with 4 fouls...

[Spurs Brazil]

4th on Blair

[phxspurfan]

4 on Blair...seeya

[royal2006]

borner + mason = loss

[sa_butta]

why are they settling for those shots...no aggressiveness tonight.

[Spurologist]

:pctoss

FUCK YOU POP and your Bullshit lineup

[Spursmania]

:pop::idiot

[TDomination]

Blair with 4 fouls!

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, Pop, you should've taken Djuan out at number 3.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

woah...unbelievable

[01Snake]

put in temple!!

[Ice009]

What is Bonner doing standing out of bounds?

LOL he should be helping Blair rebound. LOL Bonner is like out of bounds with the fans.

[alchemist]

such an awful lineup, but it's not like the Starters gave him much.

[024]

good fouls by blair.

[bless1187]

Parker is playing really SELFISH right now... Marion scores every time M. Bonner is on him... OVERALL we need to match the INTENSITY LEVEL.

[TDfan2007]

Blair with some of the most useless minutes you'll ever see him play.

[Bartleby]

Time for Mahinmi!

[sammy]

Finally Timmy in the game!

[007nites]

GD Blair. Even though he picked up 4.

[Death In June]

This mason-bonner tandem is inexcusable.

[Spursmania]

Fuck you mason!

[TIMMYD!]

Mason needs to get out. Just get the fuck out.

[sa_butta]

How bout taking Mason out now??

[TDomination]

parker and hill out there and mason brings it up???? wtf!!!

[024]

lol mason.

Dumb Blair. Now we're gonna see extended minutes for Bonner. Can't blame Tony for jacking up shots earlier, when you have a lineup like that.

[ShoogarBear]

Do we really need more Mason?

[Ice009]

Get mason jr off the fucking court.

[TampaDude]

Mason is hot garbage...get him the fuck outta there, Pop!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fuck you pop for putting mason on the court...i am not even joking

[mexicanjunior]

If Pop was going to throw in the towel by sticking Mason in there, might as well let Tim, Manu and Hill rest for game 6. This coaching is atrocious...

[NewJerSpur]

Bad pass Mase, got to drive that. Too much jumpshooting as well.

[royal2006]

yet another TO by mason, more to come

[Rorschach]

why the fuck is mason being rotated in!!!!!

[Crookshanks]

What is Pop's gameplan tonight. Lose the game on purpose it looks like... Playing Bonner and Mason early, very little Timmy or Manu and 4 fouls on Blair - not very smart so far.

[Spursmania]

Pop is waiting until Dallas has a 15 point lead.

[TIMMYD!]

Back to regular season Pop and Spurs.

[Sobe_Kucks]

Damn Tony, pass the ball! Getting out of hand...

[Ice009]

Horrible game TP.

COME ON ATTACK TP.

No jumpshots.

Lets wait till it gets out of hand then put in a good lineup to make for a good game.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Fucking pathetic.

I hope RMJ gets in a car crash.

[TDfan2007]

Okay this is getting ridiculous! Get RMJ out of there! Even Bogans is a better option at this point. FUCK

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK YOU Pop

Mason can't play

SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chieflion]

Can we have a "Mason GTFO" chant in San Antonio next time the Spurs play in San Antonio?

[HarlemHeat37]

Mason gets blown by again..

[45 bank shot]

fuck mason

[Quiet Strength]

Fuck I cant believe people actually defend pop. Fuck him. He's an idiot to do this shit.

[Whisky Dog]

Have to make a run, don't want to go down 15+

[Johnny RIngo]

Mavs attacking the rim, Spurs settling for jump shots.

[SpursTillTheEnd]

wtf is this are you serious comon now if your going to play subs play temple and ian not faggot ass mason and bonner

[Dex]

Hope Dallas enjoyed the 6 minutes of 5-on-4. Hopefully Pop will pull his head out of his ass now.

[CFH]

This game is getting ugly, ugh... Take Mason out already, Pop. Anyone but Mason.

[Warlord23]

Fuck Mason, he might as well be playing for the Mavs. Can't defend, can't handle the ball, can't shoot

[benefactor]

Five on four. Fuck you Pop.

[Capt Bringdown]

F'n Parker is just killing us tonight.
Why doesn't he pass the f'n ball?

[superjames1992]

There would be no Mason if Manu didn't decide to pick up 2 fouls in like 4 minutes.

[Spursmania]

Pop utter fail for a game plan. Playing our scrubs and giving Dallas more confidence and a double digit lead. Good Job-Dickwad.

[Libri]

Do we really need more Mason?

Any chance Pop has OCD?

[sammy]

TP needs to pass the ball! Stop taking jump shots! Get Hill involved! Bring in Manu Pop!

[Bartleby]

Pop's planning to bring it back to SA to put some money back in the Spurs coffers.

[TampaDude]

Spurs thinking of Game 6 already.

[Spurs Brazil]

Somebody need to get some bad water for Mason and hope this SON OF A BITCH stay the next week in the bathroom

WORST SPURS PLAYER ALL TIME

[phxspurfan]

I hope RMJ gets in a car crash.

...

[Spurologist]

http://www.ticketloot.com/blog/uploads/Images/popovich.jpg

[The Truth #6]

Is Manu hurt?

[word]

Dallas homer announcers are killing me... I don't know how much longer I can deal with this. C'mon Bonner and Blair. PLay big for us!

I've got Spurs announcers...474 on dish.

[Ice009]

I want TP to play this whole game, but I also want TP to attack the whole game. No settling for jumpshots.

Can TP play the whole game? I think he is in shape. We need TP to just keep attacking and pass the ball around. No solo efforts from TP.

[Johnny RIngo]

Still pissed that SA didn't trade Mason/Bonner's expirings for something useful.

[Blackjack]

Honestly, what possible rationale is there for Mason to see the court much less over someone like Temple? Neither should be playing at this point but there's at least the possibility something positive will happen with Temple.

Wake the hell up, Pop!

[Blackjack]

Honestly, what possible rationale is there for Mason to see the court much less over someone like Temple? Neither should be playing at this point but there's at least the possibility something positive will happen with Temple.

Wake the hell up, Pop!

[Refocus]

fuckmasonfuckmasonfuckmason seriously

[Spursox]

Pop is looking to finish this in San Antonio

[alchemist]

Stephen Hawking has better individual defense than Bonner and Mason....so fucking pathetic.

[phxspurfan]

wow I hate NBA TV

[Horse]

Am I really seeing what I'm seeing, I mean you win 3 games in a row you know what works and more important what does'nt work but you insist on fucking around what the fuck is wrong with Pop and what's with all the unforced turnovers FUCK!!!!!!!!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Need to finish the quarter strong and get the lead down to single digits. Got to be more patient and take higher percentage shots.

[superjames1992]

Duncan gets blocked...

Manu's back in.

[FromWayDowntown]

It's a curious time to push with an offensively-challenged lineup.

And given the guys that Parker was out there with during that stretch, I'm not sure why anyone would want him to pass -- or to whom he was supposed to pass.

[qiuyizeng]

what's the fuck?

[alchemist]

Tim with zero energy in these moves.

[Crookshanks]

I think I'm going to turn the volume down - it's too hard listening to these Mavs announcers right now. Maybe if the Spurs take their heads out of their butts and start playing better, I'll be able to turn it up.

[SPURSCHAMP]

y in the hell is mason on

[Death In June]

That shot by by tim ALWAYS gets blocked.

[m33p0]

i don't care about wade. get him out of the picture!

[superjames1992]

The midget missed the free throw!

[Chucho]

Why the fuck is Bonner's pasty ass STILL on the court. Just as useless as Mason Jr.

[NewJerSpur]

Thanks NBA Tv, because I really wanted to hear what Wade had to say about next year during a playoff game THIS YEAR.

[TDomination]

we have 2 points so far in this quarter i believe

[TIMMYD!]

I know we were down 11 also in Game 4 so it's not impossible to overcome it but right now we have ZERO intensity.

[Spurologist]

WTF NBATV? FUCK D-WADE and your nbatv analyst thoughts....a game is on

[SASPURS09]

F d wade, get the game on

[TDfan2007]

lol Tim getting his shit swatted. NOBODY has their heads on straight. This is pathetic.

[LakerHater]

Not lookin good!!

[sammy]

Finally Manu is in! Manu, Timmy, Hill, TP and Bonner! Let's Go Spurs!

[Admidave50]

it's getting ugly...

[Death In June]

Big 3 stinking it up for the second straight game.

[phxspurfan]

Barea outplaying Parker ftl

[Sobe_Kucks]

I've got Spurs announcers...474 on dish.

I've got ATT Uverse so I'm stuck with an online stream.

[TIMMYD!]

How is that little shit Barea beating us?

[Whisky Dog]

Officiating has been reasonably consistent. Spurs haven't been.

[NewJerSpur]

They sure are calling those Dallas fouls late, LOL.

[superjames1992]

There we go Manu. Be aggressive.
