Game Blog: Spurs @ Mavs- Dec. 30

[spurspokesman]

lol Butler
I cant stand the mavs but will always show props to butler. He is a former husky

[Capt Bringdown]

Surprised to see a Bonner/Dice lineup actually produce positive results.

[janetcn12]

1st quarter. spurs leading by 2

[Fireball]

good thing we have the lead ... this game thread started to get ridiculous

[siraulo23]

someone make a gif of that bonner putback, haha

[TampaDude]

Was that the same fucker that hurt George last season?

Yeah, I saw that shit. Should get Blair or Dice to go out of bounds HARD on that fucker!!!

[Pauleta14]

Without that Kidd block we would be up by 10 right now...

It played onn Tony's mind, he wouldn't be 3/6 and would attack the paint even more often.
They have NO solution against him, it's crazy!

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs need to move the ball more, the shot selection was pretty poor in the 1st..

Manu and Jefferson need to show up..

The D needs to play better, although the Mavs made a few unexpected shots..

[Capt Bringdown]

Great finish to the 1st quarter!!!!! Finally, the Spurs stopped sniffing the pussy and started fucking!!!!!

Vulgar but damned funny!

[angelbelow]

Surprised to see a Bonner/Dice lineup actually produce positive results.

Hill and Neal were simply too effective to be bothered by a Bonner/Dice lineup.

[lefty]

Cheryl Miller's brain just exploded

[ace3g]

nice move by hill

[CFH]

Hill attacking immediately :D

[CFH]

Neal 3!

[angelbelow]

My goodness, Neal is a beast.

[ace3g]

[dbestpro]

Spurs bench. :)

[stealthjbravo]

[HarlemHeat37]

There you go, Spurs are playing like they're supposed to..this game should be a blowout..

[NRHector]

what did I tell you poeple :flag:

[timtonymanu]

I like this lineup.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:lol ajinca...ian is probably a better bet, imo

[janetcn12]

Terrific Spurs...leading by 10...awesome Manu

[Banzai]

lol at the panic in the beginning...

[Crookshanks]

Take that Ponies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TampaDude]

That's more like it, fellas!!!

[lefty]

Pop will substitute Manu with Splitter

[BanditHiro]

this should be the end of the game step on the jugular and let them know they are worthless without Dirk

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT JOB HILL!

[CFH]

Great way to start the 2nd quarter, now don't piss this lead away

[VI_Massive]

Countdown to Mahinmi in 5.....4......3......

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

and neal asks mavs?who?

[Supergirl]

Spurs bench is 20-6 over the Mavs bench...can we put to rest the idea that the Mavs have a better bench now?

[Fireball]

I like this lineup.

:rollin

[lefty]

lol at the panic in the beginning...
Hey we just beat L.A

We really dont want to look stupid tonight

[TIMMYD!]

Now we just have to make sure we don't let down on the intensity.

[TampaDude]

There you go, Spurs are playing like they're supposed to..this game should be a blowout..

We NEED to blow the Mavs out tonight...if we let them hang around, Kidd, JET and Butler will steal this game.

[MI21]

Man this team is fucking badass when they play a little defense.

[Banzai]

game is over.

[Capt Bringdown]

Man, is Neal a huge difference-maker or what?

[lefty]

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41UxOC1iaGL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

[GinobiliForTres]

That's more like it, fellas!!!

i love how everyone is contributing too. neal with 8 early ones. parker with 6 i think. timmy ehhh lol

[NRHector]

if Ian comes in watch Tiago to come in

[Crookshanks]

Lets get the route going

Would that be I-35? I think you probably mean "rout" :lol

[Fireball]

Man, is Neal a huge difference-maker or what?

For me its George who is making the difference with his defense

[VI_Massive]

This looks like a night where Neal's shot is on. Those are great nights.

[TampaDude]

Second quarter...either the Spurs will finish the Mavs here, or they will piss the game away.

[Frenzy]

Manu has a runny nose...he came to bench sniffing...but he had a look like he was thinking "I'm manu bitches.."

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:lol rick

[CFH]

Manu misses the technical, GOTDAMMIT

[jjktkk]

LOL, look at Ricky blowing his stack.

[janetcn12]

Manu miss

[SpurAddict561]

Maybe now the entire NBA world will see who really has the deep bench. Coming off a night where Timmy had 2 points and we crushed the Lakers and now this....doubt it though lol

[VI_Massive]

Should've had George shoot that with Manu sick.

[Capt Bringdown]

For me its George who is making the difference with his defense

Good call, and his aggression in attacking the basket.

[janetcn12]

Beutiful Neal

[ace3g]

Neal 3!!!

[dbestpro]

Looks like the whine is fine in Dallas tonight.

[TampaDude]

LOL Manu misses the tech FT. We better not lose by one. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Neal again!!!

[lefty]

Flurry of 3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333's

[CFH]

Neal for threeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Make it rain!

[VI_Massive]

Neal. Is. On.

[Libri]

[MI21]

Fuck off Terry.

[TIMMYD!]

Neal, you cold blooded motherfucker!!!

[DMC]

Neal with that

[TampaDude]

[angelbelow]

NEAL! Hes improving game by game.

[CFH]

Neal takes the charge, he's doing it all!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i heart neal

[Crookshanks]

Announcer: who's this guy Neal that we like so much?

[8FOR!3]

Gary Neal is killing it lol. Playing like the Mavs killer out there.

[Fireball]

Jim Carey wants to go home early

[lefty]

:lmao WTF

[jjktkk]

No Jet flying so far. Neal canceling his flight.

[SpurAddict561]

Dude I love Gary Neal I hope he doesn't disappear like RMJ in the playoffs

[ace3g]

manu tres!!!

[CFH]

Manu tressssssssssssssss!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

yes!

[ShoogarBear]

Gary Neal just knows how to play the game.

[timtonymanu]

Its raining 3s.

[Libri]

Manu 3! Yessssss!!

[Supergirl]

When was the last time the Spurs had a pure shooter who could shoot lights out like Neal can?

[TIMMYD!]

Manu 3333333333333333333333

[janetcn12]

Manu...u are great

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

manu is pissed that he missed the technical FT

[spurspokesman]

Spurs lettts ggooooooo

[TampaDude]

Manuuuuu Tres!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Neal!

[lefty]

We are hot NBA Jam Style

that ball is on fire I think

[Sisk]

wow.. can't miss right now..

[DMC]

Pour it on

[janetcn12]

Biggest lead by Spurs

[siraulo23]

whoa on fireeeee

[BanditHiro]

we are making open shots T.T

[Sisk]

We are hot NBA Jam Style

that ball is on fire I think

:lol

Sure seems like that

[lefty]

Next possession, let's shoot a 3 from midcourt

[HarlemHeat37]

When this team is on, it's just disgusting..so many weapons from outside, it's the complete opposite of last season..they're also missing a guy that was shooting 50% from 3 before his injury(albeit a very small sample size)..

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

spurs haven't missed a shoot in the second :rollin

[Supergirl]

Seriously, who was the last pure shooter the Spurs had like Neal? Steve Kerr? It's been a while.

[GinobiliForTres]

We are hot NBA Jam Style

that ball is on fire I think

bench points:

spurs 23
mavs 6

[Capt Bringdown]

Old-fashioned country blowout, Bexar county style.

[Banzai]

Well that was quick lol.

[TIMMYD!]

Those commercials where people know what's gonna happen to the players are pretty good.

[lefty]

Nice momentum kill, Manu

[Spursfanfromafar]

I miss Nowitzki :(.. Need more competition for my Spurs, please.

[spursfan1000]

Dam I leave for a couple mins and were up by 16!

[Spurs Brazil]

I can't believe we're getting calls against the Mavs

[TIMMYD!]

Bonner just can't do shit against the Mavericks.

[angelbelow]

Lol big ass elbow from Bonner to Chandlers back

[lefty]

dam i leave for a couple mins and were up by 16!
gtfo

[spursfan1000]

I miss Nowitzki :(.. Need more competition for my Spurs, please.

No reason to get cocky dude, we've seen Spurs lose many leads

[NRHector]

Damn Bonner rally killer

[lefty]

LOL WTF Neal

[Crookshanks]

Spurs just have to keep their foot on the gas and not let Dallas back in this game. I love it that we're playing so well on national tv - especially after the Orlando game last week.

[janetcn12]

Neal...no

[CFH]

Neal off on that three

[ace3g]

heat check for Neal

[TampaDude]

WTF Neal??? :lol

[Supergirl]

HEat check for Neal...

[L.I.T]

Ah Neal with the heat check.

[spursfan1000]

gtfo

stfu fag

[ShoogarBear]

Seriously, who was the last pure shooter the Spurs had like Neal? Steve Kerr? It's been a while.

Finley was underrated as a pure shoote.

And as you say that, Neal airballs.

[Capt Bringdown]

OK, enough with the 3s, take it to the rack.

[lefty]

Terry :lmao

[Texas_Ranger]

lol ref

[TampaDude]

What the fuck was that??? :lol

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck that pussy midget Barea.

[ShoogarBear]

The starters are sucking mightily.

[Fireball]

nice defense by the Ref

[BanditHiro]

nice going guys fuck

[Chieflion]

How the fuck did he palm the ball, take more dribbles and not get called? Bullshit at its finest.

[Texas_Ranger]

why the fuck did Parker just leave that midget alone?

[Supergirl]

Apparently somehow Terry running over the ref=loose ball foul on Parker. Whut?

[TampaDude]

Pop is pissed, and rightly so...we had the Mavs on the ropes...could be up by 25 at the half...we're getting sloppy and pissing the lead away.

[GinobiliForTres]

Fuck that pussy midget Barea.

barea's a fuckin goblin.

[Banzai]

Good game so far.

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop is VERY mad

[lefty]

Fuck

Meyer Lansky with the 3

[Spursfanfromafar]

No reason to get cocky dude, we've seen Spurs lose many leads

Yeah. You are right. But I wasn't getting cocky. I think the Spurs would want to test themselves against the real Mavs.. thats all.

[DMC]

The Mavs are going to score. They scored 5 unanswered, one was a three. Big fucking deal. Move on... plenty of game left.

[TampaDude]

Apparently somehow Terry running over the ref=loose ball foul on Parker. Whut?

Terry running over the ref, traveling, palming, and double dribbling = foul on Parker. :lmao

[Spurs Brazil]

That ref was a coward. He should call a walk on Terry

[Spurologist]

just checking in.....

what's been happening?

+11 not bad.....sounds like we should be murdering them though

[Texas_Ranger]

Looks like this is one of those nights when our starters suck and ours ''scrubs'' play great.

[dbestpro]

TP not playing a good game brain wise.

[Crookshanks]

Pop is VERY mad

Good. Spurs need to keep up the intensity and not get sloppy on defense.

[janetcn12]

We are going to win if we play aggressive...C'mon spurs.

[Fireball]

Pop furious about the starters defense ... get ready for Udoka

[TIMMYD!]

So they give you an iPad if you buy that car?

[tw05baller]

Fuck

Meyer Lansky with the 3

you mean Bud Bundy

[ohmwrecker]

barea's a fuckin goblin.

El Raton!

[TampaDude]

How the fuck did Neal airball that 3 so badly...damn... :lol

[Crookshanks]

Yeah. You are right. But I wasn't getting cocky. I think the Spurs would want to test themselves against the real Mavs.. thats all.

The real Mavs? You mean these are fakes?

[DMC]

Pop is pissed, and rightly so...we had the Mavs on the ropes...could be up by 25 at the half...we're getting sloppy and pissing the lead away.

Pop isn't worried about the score. He's pissed because Tony went around that screen. That's soft defense. They have to fight through those, especially a smalll PG like Tony guarding a shooter like JJ, with a big setting the screen.

[Supergirl]

curious coaching move by Carlisle, starting Cardinal and bringing Terry and Marion off the bench. Have they been coming off the bench all season?

[TIMMYD!]

Tim And-1!

[DMC]

Holy shit the sound is like 4 seconds ahead of the video lol... I was like "what?"

[Capt Bringdown]

Nice play out of a timeout.

[L.I.T]

Good to see TD being aggressive in the post.

[lefty]

you mean Bud Bundy
:lol At least Bud Bundy gets some pussy once in a blue moon

[jjktkk]

Looks like this is one of those nights when our starters suck and ours ''scrubs'' play great.

Scrubs?

[CFH]

Stay aggressive RJ

[janetcn12]

Spurs leading by 14

[Supergirl]

good job by RJ drawing the foul, hopefully that gets him going

[TIMMYD!]

Good to see RJ is being aggressive and not settling for jumpers.

[TampaDude]

Way to go, RJ!!! Be aggressive!!! Kill the Mavs!!!

[Crookshanks]

curious coaching move by Carlisle, starting Cardinal and bringing Terry and Marion off the bench. Have they been coming off the bench all season?

I believe so. Announcers said earlier they thought Marion would start with Dirk being out, but Carlisle started Cardinal so he could keep the bench rotation.

[CFH]

Dammit RJ

[MI21]

Nice to see RJ actually get the ball... Makes me sick when he is forced to stand in the corner, even though he is making those corner 3's.

[Supergirl]

RJ missing both FTs? Didn't he used to be a GOOD FT shooter?

[angelbelow]

Damn what happened to RJ's FT shooting... he was really solid when he played for the Nets.

[BanditHiro]

to fucking bad they didn't go back to Free throwing shooting basics

[CFH]

Parker J

[janetcn12]

Beautiful penetration Parker

[ohmwrecker]

Did the audio and video get out of sequence for a minute there?

[TampaDude]

LOL RJ missed both...c'mon, man... :lol

[Sisk]

RJ missing both FTs? Didn't he used to be a GOOD FT shooter?

Use to shoot 79% I believe

[dbestpro]

RJ seems to be a little less than focused.

[TampaDude]

Did the audio and video get out of sequence for a minute there?

Yeah, I think so...I saw that, too.

[CFH]

Did the audio and video get out of sequence for a minute there?

Yeah

[TIMMYD!]

Scrubs?

Hence the quotation marks.

[TampaDude]

Kidd must be on HGH.

[CFH]

Dammit Blair

[angelbelow]

Kidd's got some ridiculously active hands..

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fail at Kidd flop

[Texas_Ranger]

Jefferson sucks.

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair playing stupid again

[TampaDude]

WTF, guess the Mavs can hook Hill and no foul.

[Supergirl]

Jefferson having a terrible game so far

[HarlemHeat37]

Jefferson has been horrible, Blair has been pretty bad too..

Kidd is just dominating this game, pretty sad..

Spurs need to get at least an 8 point lead at the half IMO..

[timtonymanu]

Jefferson needs to get into the game NOW.

[TIMMYD!]

RJ is ice cold right now, can't hit shit even FT's.

[Crookshanks]

Spurs need to calm down and slow down - they're getting careless.

[L.I.T]

the zone messing with the Spurs offensive flow right now

[BanditHiro]

fuck this line up give the bench starter minutes for this game they seem to be the only ones that give a shit and can make wide open shots

[Capt Bringdown]

RJ off tonight.
I guess no lead is safe against the Mavs, jeez.

[CFH]

Shit!

[TampaDude]

Kidd is on 'roids...no question.

[janetcn12]

C'mon spurs...don't give in to the Mavs

[Banzai]

Curious..anyone here think Blair is a bit like Malik Rose?

[MI21]

Kidd > Dirk

obviously

[siraulo23]

here comes the run

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Curious..anyone here think Blair is a bit like Malik Rose?

Definitely.

[Fireball]

Pop is resting our bench players too much

[Texas_Ranger]

Kidd owning us. Just pathetic.

[TIMMYD!]

Pop better get on that ass during halftime.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Damn, not liking the Mav run. Spurs need to bounce back.

[DMC]

That zone confuses the Spurs. They will get around it in a few moments and Carlisle will have to abandon it.

[Capt Bringdown]

Blair useless in this game, get Splitter in there.

[ohmwrecker]

Jefferson sucks.
All the starters suck tbh.

[dbestpro]

RJ is crosseyed tonight.

[MI21]

Parker, Neal, Ginobili, Bonner and Duncan against the zone thanks.

[ducks]

need rj to do a alley oop dunk

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ is killing us. Playing horrible.

Blair needs to play smarter. Forcing a lot of stupid stuff

[NRHector]

Pop is resting our bench players too much

negative he's making the Mavs starters to get tired

[GinobiliForTres]

fuck this line up give the bench starter minutes for this game they seem to be the only ones that give a shit and can make wide open shots

7-pt game cause our starters are bein shitty. here we go.

[BanditHiro]

the best three point shooting team can't bust up a zone....

[CFH]

Spurs need to finish this half strong...

[MavDynasty]

kidd trying to keep this eventual blowout close...gotta make it interesting for the fans imo

[angelbelow]

Curious..anyone here think Blair is a bit like Malik Rose?

Been referenced quite a bit, yes.

[siraulo23]

RJ's gotta knock down some of those open 3s

[TampaDude]

Curious..anyone here think Blair is a bit like Malik Rose?

They were talking about that the other night on NBA TV.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

RJ not doing anything well on offense, maybe cos its not second half yet..

[dbestpro]

will the beast show up or is it gonna be Linda time all night.

[Capt Bringdown]

When he's off, Blair reminds me of Malik and Samaki...eww.

[DMC]

Blair not much of a factor right now. Maybe he will pick it up in the 3rd. This is why some of us don't have premature ejaculations over Blair's single great game.

Regardless, the Spurs starters are sucking, and yet they still have the lead. You cannot expect the Spurs to put 30 on the Mavs in the 1st half. The Mavs are too good.

[CFH]

3's ain't falling now

[Crookshanks]

Ugghhhhh

[ace3g]

get Neal back in the game

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

stop jacking up threes gotdamnit

[TIMMYD!]

Shit, we're cold.

[Crookshanks]

good - 3 fouls on Terry

[TampaDude]

There's something kooky about the sight line from the right side there. That's the second airball for the Spurs from that spot.

[DMC]

As long as the Spurs stay solid on defense... they should pull away late in the 3rd. (Spurs hopefully)
