Milwaukee Bucks 103 Dallas Mavs 99

[Rather.Unique]

First of all, Thank you. :lol

now, let's hope they're too tired to play 2morrow.

[Ditty]

we play wednesday brah

[duncan228]

They've got a day to rest, the game is Wednesday.

[ducks]

spurs should not take overlook them now

[ShoogarBear]

In the bad news department, Bogut is beasting.

I think we won't see a lot of Blair Wednesday. Would be nice to see how Tiago matches up against him.

[BadOne]

Let's hope the Spurs can capitalize on this and destroy the Bucks on Wednesday. They have to take advantage of this and gain some ground.

[Ditty]

hack a bogut

[Ditty]

mavs had alot of open 3 pointers but didn't knock them down and they looked tired, spurs have had alot of rest recently, just need rebound and knock them 3's down and it should be an easy game.

[Rather.Unique]

Yeah, sorry. i thought the game was 2morrow night.

i agree with Ducks, we shouldn't overlook them. this is an under rated team

[DesignatedT]

milwaukee has been known to play us tough, lets hope we can pull this out.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Mavs lose = our chances of losing increase by 200000%

[TD 21]

This is good. Not just because the Mavs lost, either. But because the Bucks had lost 7 straight on the road and were underachieving as a team, particularly offensively. They were due for a good shooting game and a road win and they just got both.

Hopefully, they revert to what they've been all season (horrific offensively) and the Spurs can get a relatively easy win, while continuing to improve their defensive numbers in the process.

[ShoogarBear]

CDR's gonna come and show why he should have been drafted over Hill.

[rmt]

Good - Spurs need a buffer as Mavs have the tiebreaker so far and also the easier schedule left.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

In the bad news department, Bogut is beasting.

Indeed. I love Bogut - such an old-school guy on and off the court, and even playing with pain he is dominating the shit out of people. The man is a credit to Australia (although he gets very little press here, which is surprising given that he's the best NBA player Australia has produced).


hack a bogut

I wouldn't be surprised to see Pop use this tactically. He has before, and it is the one chink in Bogut's armour right now.

Spurs are 10-12 versus the Bucks since 1999 (11 seasons).

[Yorae]

Fear the deer? The Christmas deer...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs are 10-12 versus the Bucks since 1999 (11 seasons).

IIRC, most of the Bucks' wins were during the Redd era or before. That guy used to kill us repeatedly.

Just looked up recent seasons - we went 2-0 against them last year, 0-2 the year before, 2-0 the year before, 0-2 the year before that... the "pattern" suggest we're in for an 0-2 season, but I think we'll break the pattern. ;)

[Solid D]

.454 against the Bucks since 1999 and that's a Spurs team that has averaged 57 wins/season (.694 winning percentage) over those 11 seasons.

[NASpurs]

Mavs lose = our chances of losing increase by 200000%

Yeah I've noticed that as well and the Bucks have always played the Spurs tough so those chances go up 10 fold.

[Solid D]

Actually, the Spurs went 0-6 from 2000-2002 versus the Bucks after winning their 1st championship. George Karl was their coach and Ray Allen, Sam Cassell, Glenn Robinson, and Tim Thomas were their main guys. Redd didn't really start contributing until his 2nd year in 2002.

[SequSpur]

gay....

Sure, no disputing that. Allen and Cassell regularly had their way with us too, although I don't remember Robinson or Thomas torching us (might be selective memory). BTW, that's why I said "or before". ;)

However, I can definitely remember at least 2 games where Redd killed us singlehandedly with 36 and 15 in the 4th, that kind of thing.

[Solid D]

pray....

Absolutely. Lots of midrange shots in the seams.

[SequSpur]

Man fuck the first round and out Dallas Mavs...they are posers....

My 2010-2011 San Antonio Spurs!

[SA210]

Good that the Mavs lost, but Spurs must stay focused and come out and play some killer D and move the ball and increase our lead over other teams.

[ElNono]

Portland was a pain in our neck too the last few seasons. Hopefully this time we can turn the tide against the deers too.

[ShoogarBear]

Absolutely. Lots of midrange shots in the seams.

It's a known fact that Glenn Robinson never missed a shot in his career against the Spurs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

However, I don't see this Bucks team beating us right now - too many mistakes, and they don't finish games well. Jennings tends to try to do too much in the clutch and forgets he has Bogut in the post (which I always find infuriating), or Salmons goes 1-on-5 and misses or turns it over.

Too many ball-stoppers on that team with Jennings/Salmons/Maggette/Gooden. I had great hopes for them to make some noise in the East this year, but Maggette is a totally wrong fit and Salmons frustratingly inconsistent, which forces Jennings to be selfish at times while Bogut is forgotten.

[Hemotivo]

fixed

:lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The Mavs have been playing stellar defense thanks to their 2-3 Zone.

I have to ask, won't teams eventually figure out how to attack their zone by the 2nd half of the season?

Dallas has great length which is obviously bothering opponents, but I'm just wondering if they can keep this intense D up all year long.

[EricD]

Mavericks will be done in the second round.

Yeah I said it.

Book it

[SA210]

I expect the same from him again this time around..

[migol]

Mavericks will be done in the second round.

Yeah I said it.

Book it
and when they happens i hope they finally remain irrelevant in the seasons thereafter for as long as duncan, ginobili and parker can still hang in there and contend.

it annoys me that the mavericks are only good when the spurs are good. they are fucking cockblockers.... it's like if they only get happy when they beat the spurs and that's it. it's stupid and annoying that they are that type of team.

it seems they are only happy to give the Spurs a tough time for some reason.

I agree with you here,

Mavericks are very annoying because they are like a gnat or mosquito, just totally being an annoyance.

Who cares though, they won't win anything.

Out in the 2nd round like I said. Mark it down.

[JR21]

YES! I was hoping they wouldn't pass up our winning streak. Good job bucks, but your about to face the real deal holyfield. Im going to this one... :whine

[SenorSpur]

THe Bucks are ALWAYS a tough matchup for the Spurs - regardless of record. Still they're one of the worst offensive teams in the NBA, coming into the week It just turns out that they had one of their most impressive offensive showings versus the Mavs. They also played some damn good D against the Mavs, as well.

They're going to be a very tough matchup on Wed night.

[DespЏrado]

Yeah Bucks traditionally have the Spurs number, not so sure that's going to be the case anymore. They were always seemingly custom built to beat the Spurs, and home to a number of famed spur killers.

I wouldn't sleep on them at all. The Spurs better take advantage of the Dallas loss this coming game.

[DBMethos]

Bogut's going to beast on us, as always. Hopefully we can keep everyone else in check.

[urunobili]

I'm smelling a trap loss to the Bucks :depressed

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Mavericks barley beat the Jazz a couple nights ago. Mavericks had a 25 point lead over the Jazz, and then the Jazz came back.

Bucks were losing by around 18-20 points and they came back. Pretty sloppy of the Mavericks.

Now for the Spurs to play the Bucks on Wednesday.

[pawe]

Bogut's going to beast on us, as always. Hopefully we can keep everyone else in check.

He suddenly plays like an MVP candidate whenever the Spurs play the Bucks.
Fuck you Bogut! The Spurs didn't do anything to you..

[Cessation]

spurs wont lose, this bucks team is much different than years before

[JR21]

No way the spurs need to cake this...

[Bender]

this will be the only spurs game this season that I will miss on tv so far. T-W is coming out weds. to disconnect my cable and take their equipment. And uverse is coming out thurs. to install cable & internet. So Weds night I will be without TV and without internet...

I hope to make it through ok...

[concken]

Mavs lose = our chances of losing increase by 200000%

does our team's performance correlate with the mav's performance? What is this? why would it even matter?

[tmtcsc]

Fear no one. The Spurs are playing at a high level. The Bucks better hope we're not focused or tired.

[TJastal]

CDR's gonna come and show why he should have been drafted over Hill.

I hope this was in jest.

Maggette is a wrong fit everywhere he goes it seems. Every other year though it seems someone(s) on spurstalk creates a thread beating off to the guy though. :lol

with 4 days of rest the spurs could actually blow this team out by 30.
