Game Blog: 1/5/12 - Spurs vs. Mavericks

[urunobili]

Dick in n out...

[024]

splitter's post game is so terrible.

[Josepatches_]

lol...Bonner making 3's....

ok it's good tonight but...now he has credit to play more minutes.

[DMC]

Does Tiago know his hands go above his shoulders? Hold your fucking hands up for the rebound, stop spectating.

[urunobili]

odds to see some Anderson at all today?

[DPG21920]

No one is scared of Bonner. Tiago doing a decent job on Dirk, at least keeping Dirk in front of him and getting his hands up.

[jhuan16]

Holy fuck, Mavs suck really bad.

[DMC]

Dick in n out...
:lol

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Splitter is becoming the biggest offensive liability.

[NASpurs]

Both teams are just tired, that's all it is.

[loveforthegame]

I really despise Terry. I'd rather anyone else beat us than him. :td

[Arlington Native]

This has to be the worst Mavs shooting night of all time...Dirk and Terry are missing WIDE open shots.

[easy7]

J. Kidd is out..

[MI21]

GTFO the court Bonner.

Also, it would be nice to have someone run towards the hoop on the break or an effective trailer. I see Pop has turned Jefferson into Bowen on breaks... run to the corner. SMH.

[NASpurs]

Getting blocked by Carter :lmao

[4>0rings]

Tiago has absolutely NO UPS :lmao

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol At least Splitter tried to dunk it

[Tp9gospursgo]

Splitter being aggressive.

[ernest787]

actually... getting fouled by carter

[MannyIsGod]

Ford has always had the ability to play but only when healthy. The big question mark is whether or not he'll stay healthy. Big IF.

[easy7]

Tiago!!!! Old man Carter..

[jag]

This Mavs broadcast is horrible.

[MI21]

Splitter is pretty nice on the PnR. Don't post him though.

[DPG21920]

TP nice drive and kick boi.

[urunobili]

Dick another threeeeee!!!

[Libri]

nothing but net for RJ

[NASpurs]

Dick is on fire! Should get that checked...

[024]

This Mavs broadcast is horrible.
just like splitter's post game.

[ElNono]

smh matty

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Rj for 3333333333333333

:lol Carter

[ElNono]

oops nevermind

[angelbelow]

RJ continues to play out of his mind.

[easy7]

Dick shoots after the pentration..

[loveforthegame]

Save some of these 3s for the other games. Guys are on fire.

[jag]

just like splitter's post game.

Still trying to warm up

[NASpurs]

Lazy cop out shot by TD

[MI21]

Elite flop by Tiago. Nothing he does is pretty, but is quite effective..

[Spurologist]

great D by tp.....he then dishes out to RJ for the wide open corner

3333333333333333333333333333333333333

[NASpurs]

Doubling up the score

[loveforthegame]

As I type that he gets the tip in.

[lefty]

Orgasm

[DPG21920]

Splitter is pretty nice on the PnR. Don't post him though.

This. He needs work and can be ok at the post, but the PnR he is already good at.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Timmy with the tip.

They look so much better on this back 2 back then they did last time.

[Josepatches_]

just like splitter's post game.

or Duncan's

[The ADMIRAL 50]

23 x 2 = 46

rough, Mavericks.

[DMC]

Can't complain.

[angelbelow]

What a great game so far, everything going right. Yeah Bonner is soft, yeah splitter has no offense but nothing worth complaining about.

[MI21]

Man, Green has some good hands on D... I would prefer he just stay in front of his guy but his recovering skills are handy.

[024]

i don't mind the 3's if the mavs are going to play such bad defense.

[The ADMIRAL 50]

Can we spurstalk cash bet on whether they'll break thirty in the half? I'm taking the under.

[DAF86]

Splitter with a different throwing motion on his FTs.

[DMC]

B2B at home is much different than having to fly. Probably keeps them in rhythm better than having a night off actually.

[loveforthegame]

The shooting is obviously a plus but it's the energy and effort that I'm most impressed with.

[jjktkk]

This has to be the worst Mavs shooting night of all time...Dirk and Terry are missing WIDE open shots.

Definitely not a good sign.

[urunobili]

Timmy with the tip.

They look so much better on this back 2 back then they did last time.

They slept in their own beds...

[Fireball]

I am complaining that Splitter is down to playing 7 minutes a half ... use him on the P&R on offense and let him defend ... thats it

[DMC]

Dallas is going to get going. You can count on that. They have too many weapons to not have someone get hot.

[mexicanjunior]

I have never seen the Mavs shoot this poorly against us in the Dirk era. The game last night must have really worn them out. We are getting any open shot we want...

[urunobili]

Anderson in and great D on odom!

[DPG21920]

Blair has to get that defensive rebound. Come on.

[angelbelow]

JA finally enters the game.

[lefty]

They slept in their own beds...

Tony didn't

[urunobili]

Anderson now even better D on CROdom generating him to turn it over

[DPG21920]

Lazy TP.

[Josepatches_]

This. He needs work and can be ok at the post, but the PnR he is already good at.

He usually scored well enough in the post here but he lost his confidence last year.

I guess it happens when you are not strong enough mentally.

[urunobili]

damn TP the silliest turnover of his career and now getting beat up trying to make up for it under the rim.. :rolleyes

[Russ]

Sorry, but I don't see this great defense from Green.

[lefty]

Wtf

[urunobili]

lol Dirk sloppy. Dick back in

[4>0rings]

Dick going balls deep

[urunobili]

Dick again!!!! from threeeeeee

[jag]

RJ nutting all over the Mavs.

[lefty]

Sorry, but I don't see this great defense from Green.

1 play .....

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

WOW RJ is lights out right now

[lefty]

Dick has 3 balls

[DPG21920]

TP started off pretty well, but has since faded some. Spurs need him to sustain a good level.

[Josepatches_]

Bonner and Jefferson lead the team in scoring.

It's funny.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Tp with the jumper

[urunobili]

Dominique Jones outplaying French Allah' for minutes on the Mavs...

[jag]

:lol

[Libri]

lol Odom

[Fireball]

Timmy still nursing his hand ... left or right?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol Odom

[easy7]

Odom missed that basket by a mile...

[Arlington Native]

Literally the worst shooting night of all time...

[lefty]

Looooooooooool

[NASpurs]

I wouldn't take too much from this game. The Mavs are clearly tired and don't give a fuck.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Danny Green for 3333333333333

[urunobili]

Danny Greeeeeeen for threeeeee

[loveforthegame]

It's raining 3s.

[loveforthegame]

Has Dirk ever shot this poorly against us?

[jag]

Has Dirk ever shot this poorly against us?

He's never been this old against us.

[The ADMIRAL 50]

Dirk 1-6, 0-2 from 3, 0-1 FT with nine sec left in the half

[Fireball]

Dirk is quite pissed ...

[Arlington Native]

Has Dirk ever shot this poorly against us?
Literally the worst Mavs shooting night of all time...will not happen again.

Fluke game.

[urunobili]

French Allah' with the miss. Gr8 first half. Anderson int he doghouse.

[timvp]

Both teams played hard.

[DPG21920]

All in all, great half. When any team hit's 3's like this it's hard to beat them, but Spurs playing decent defense, Mavs missing some shots they should make and Spurs doing a good job rebounding and taking care of the ball.

[easy7]

Damn... hope these mofos don't let up

[jhuan16]

Winning Mavs is just like winning the Wizards, nothing to celebrate about.

[timtonymanu]

Only 29 points for Dallas at the half? Shocking.

[Josepatches_]

I seriously believe Mavs are tanking this year. They can't play worse

[Fireball]

just 3 TOs ...

[DMC]

:pop: "I thought we moved the ball really well on offense and didn't turn it over, and it helps when you make some shots"

[Fireball]

RJ is +34

[loveforthegame]

The Mavs will come out determined to start the 2nd half. I don't see them giving up this game just yet.

The Spurs have to be ready for the run and keep up the intensity.

[WeNeedLength]

Winning Mavs is just winning the Wizards, nothing to celebrate about.

Wtf? lol. I know what you meant but please learn the english language a little more..

[z0sa]

lol @ 29 points in the half.

[lefty]

RJ is +34

So is Duncan

[timmike2]

2 teams on a b2b.. games are equal! spurs are winning :D

[DMC]

I seriously believe Mavs are tanking this year. They can't play worse
Getting Dirk to tank is like getting any other superstar to tank, they have limited years to play. Dirk doesn't want to tank.

Dirk hasn't been motivated since the big high, needs something to get him going. He looks really soft.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Mavs are ice fucking cold in this game.

And I don't think we are hot so much as the Mavericks are just leaving us WIDE FREAKING OPEN. And thank god we're shoving it in their shitty D playing faces that you cannot leave these guys that open.

Gary Neal set the tone for this game on the opening possession.

NEAL
WITH
IT

[The ADMIRAL 50]

Dirk 1-6, 0-2 from 3, 0-1 FT with nine sec left in the half

Edit: @ the half.

We have been playing lights out to say the least, but Dirk being ice cold has been a huge part of this game. Our defense on him has been solid but not really particularly good even. To be honest he really has just been missing shots, even the one technical free throw.

[DMC]

Why can't we just use the points we need to win and save the rest for later?

[DMC]

It's been the theme thus far in the league that one team is ice cold and the other is red hot. Weird start.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

oh yeah, we have a new Jason Terry killer in Danny Green.

That was a primary reason I hated getting rid of George Hill

[The ADMIRAL 50]

Mavs are ice fucking cold in this game.

And I don't think we are hot so much as the Mavericks are just leaving us WIDE FREAKING OPEN. And thank god we're shoving it in their shitty D playing faces that you cannot leave these guys that open.

Gary Neal set the tone for this game on the opening possession.

NEAL
WITH
IT

:tu exactly

I was just saying the same thing to my friend about that Neal shot, he absolutely set the tone.

And I second the first comment as well. The Mavs are just playing all around shitty basketball; No defense, and can't hit a got dammed thing.

[Josepatches_]

Getting Dirk to tank is like getting any other superstar to tank, they have limited years to play. Dirk doesn't want to tank.

Dirk hasn't been motivated since the big high, needs something to get him going. He looks really soft.

Sure but......

[GSH]

Both teams played hard.

I choked iced tea out my nose. :lol

[Fireball]

So is Duncan

NBA TV Companion has Timmy with a +19

[8FOR!3]

He's never been this old against us.

yeah but that's the case every time we play them...

[Fireball]

Danny Green Peace > Metta World Peace

[DAF86]

oh yeah, we have a new Jason Terry killer in Danny Green.

That was a primary reason I hated getting rid of George Hill

WTF? Terry was getting past Green at will.

[Josepatches_]

Miami is up by 10 in Atlanta.

[Bill_Brasky]

Damn, just got home. Are the Mavs tired or what? 29 points is pretty embarrassing.

Looks like the 3's have been falling, but glad to see it seems like we've been playing D too.

[GB20]

oh yeah, we have a new Jason Terry killer in Danny Green.

That was a primary reason I hated getting rid of George Hill

what game are you watching ? terry was torching danny green.

[ElNono]

Dallas isn't missing just Chandler... They're also missing a bunch of role players 3 point guys like Stevenson and Peja...

That said, Haywood is completely horrendous... I can't believe he starts for them.

[ElNono]

Dallas isn't missing just Chandler... They're also missing a bunch of role players 3 point guys like Stevenson and Peja...

That said, Haywood is completely horrendous... I can't believe he starts for them.

[Buddy Holly]

Tony didn't

Huh? :lol

[urunobili]

Dallas isn't missing just Chandler... They're also missing a bunch of role players 3 point guys like Stevenson and Peja...

That said, Haywood is completely horrendous... I can't believe he starts for them.

JJ Diarrea says hi...

[Buddy Holly]

WTF? Terry was getting past Green at will.

Tends to happen when they set as many screens as they do.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

what game are you watching ? terry was torching danny green.

No he wasnt
he hit his first two shots, then Pop put Danny on him and he proceeded to miss and got fouled a couple times, which were pretty good fouls

Terry hasn't been getting his comfort off the dribble jump shots and Green's defense on him helped contribute to Dallas overall sloppy offensive play

[lefty]

NBA TV Companion has Timmy with a +19

I'll give you another 5 minutes

[Brazil]

Dallas isn't missing just Chandler... They're also missing a bunch of role players 3 point guys like Stevenson and Peja...

That said, Haywood is completely horrendous... I can't believe he starts for them.

but they have Ian :lol

[ElNono]

JJ Diarrea says hi...

that too... I guess Roddy savior isn't that good

[Cant_Be_Faded]

WTF? Terry was getting past Green at will.

When Terry tried to take him 1 on 1, no he was not. Green made Terry over-dribble, and I did not see Terry get one clean, in-rhythm going-right jumper like he loves to take. He made Terry overpenetrate on one possession leading to a bad pass which eventually resulted in a horrible dallas shot.


Every dallas player is playing bad, so maybe Green had nothing to do with it.

[therealtruth]

It seems Pop is trying to destroy JA confidence but he probably has a higher ceiling than Green. On the other hand I like what D. Green provides on defense. I think his energy on defense is contagious and helps the overall defense.

[urunobili]

When Terry tried to take him 1 on 1, no he was not. Green made Terry over-dribble, and I did not see Terry get one clean, in-rhythm going-right jumper like he loves to take. He made Terry overpenetrate on one possession leading to a bad pass which eventually resulted in a horrible dallas shot.


Every dallas player is playing bad, so maybe Green had nothing to do with it.

Green was good, but no where near close to a Terry stopper. the first two times he tried to defend him was burned by the JET... :wakeup

[TDomination]

LOL at that picture of Manu they just showed on Fox Sports haha

[Fireball]

poor Manu ...

[The ADMIRAL 50]

Sad picture of Manu haha

[therealtruth]

When Terry tried to take him 1 on 1, no he was not. Green made Terry over-dribble, and I did not see Terry get one clean, in-rhythm going-right jumper like he loves to take. He made Terry overpenetrate on one possession leading to a bad pass which eventually resulted in a horrible dallas shot.


Every dallas player is playing bad, so maybe Green had nothing to do with it.

He's got to be careful. Terry is crafty and is good at drawing fouls. He likes to throw himself into the defender.

[The ADMIRAL 50]

reeeeeally bad three from RJ to start the half

what a start to the season for him thus far though

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol Jefferson mauling Dirk

[easy7]

TP for your bonghole

[loveforthegame]

Dirk will never shoot this poorly against us again.

[lefty]

Lol neal

[DPG21920]

Slow start for the Spurs.

[GB20]

we need to keep scoring

[urunobili]

Spurs laying an egg...

[therealtruth]

I am sure the Spurs will take the win but I don't think this game is a good barometer when the other team is playing that well.

[easy7]

Neal, wtf...don't pull a Bonner

[loveforthegame]

Here comes the run I was talking about. Spurs need to counter it.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ughhhhh time out?

[Brazil]

here we go...

[DPG21920]

Mavs picking up the defense, Spurs not rebounding or moving the ball. Little run for the Mavs to start the 3rd.

[Das Texan]

am i the only fucker with massive video issues on kens?

[easy7]

Cock blocked by Marion

[loveforthegame]

Spurs need a spark from someone. Quick.

[GB20]

fuck

[NASpurs]

Spurs are just going through the motions, satisfied with the lead.

[lefty]

Uuuuuuuuuuuuugh

[DPG21920]

Spurs getting crushed on the glass. Just crushed.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I just tuned into this game. Spurs sure are giving these Mavericks an ass-whopping

[The ADMIRAL 50]

Big hit TP

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Gary Neal cold

[GB20]

come on choo choo!

[easy7]

French Allah not answering prayers

[Bill_Brasky]

Don't like the way this Q has started.

[GSH]

Green was good, but no where near close to a Terry stopper. the first two times he tried to defend him was burned by the JET... :wakeup

Terry was their only scoring option for a while, and they were setting a lot of picks for him. (Some of them weren't even moving.) It's not a two man game. Green had some good defensive possessions, and some not so good. Hardly a "Terry stopper" though. Terry's a tough cover.

[loveforthegame]

I was afraid of this kind of start to the 3rd. The Spurs need to settle down and get back to what they were doing in the first half.

[timmike2]

damn neal is tired.. all of them are.

[Trainwreck2100]

eating taco cabana for a month, dumb bitch

[NASpurs]

I was afraid of this kind of start to the 3rd. The Spurs need to settle down and get back to what they were doing in the first half.

Settle down? I think they're too relaxed. They need to kick it up a gear imo. :lol

[Pauleta14]

French Allah not answering prayers


Are you talking about Beaubois?

If so, why this nickname?

[Fireball]

damn neal is tired.. all of them are.

with 20+ lead I don't understand why Pop is playing Timmy heavy minutes in a b2b

[loveforthegame]

Hoping to see Diogu tonight. Only way that happens if we keep the big lead.

[DPG21920]

Duncan getting pwnd by Dirk. Wow.

[lefty]

Pheeeeew

Just the face

[urunobili]

Dick hacked Haywood twice in the second half already...

[easy7]

Duncan got bitch elbowed by Dirk... No call

[loveforthegame]

Jefferson leading the team in rebounds. Crazy.

[Fireball]

Dirk can really throw his elbows ... Manu says hi

[Bill_Brasky]

Duncan getting pwnd by Dirk. Wow.

Def shoulda been a foul.

[stxspurs]

i dont care what anyone says....duncan is the suck now....its painful to watch him play

[Tp9gospursgo]

I don't see the foul

[lefty]

BS call

[DPG21920]

Def shoulda been a foul.

Nah. Dirk blocked him straight up and there was incidental contact after the play.

[Brazil]

Fortunately the Mavs are just horrible so far

[GSH]

The guy had both feet in the circle. I thought it was always a block when the defender is in the circle?

[smrattler]

We need to get something, ANYTHING, going towards the bucket.

Stop chucking shots.

That's all we're doing.

They don't fall in the second half the same as the first.

[Josepatches_]

Duncan has to retire at the end of the season

[loveforthegame]

Would really like to see what Diogu could do out there.

[Bill_Brasky]

Danny Green is excellent at getting through screens.

[NASpurs]

Tony Parker holding the ball and Pop being pissed off again that DG didn't get it

[Libri]

Jefferson leading the team in rebounds. Crazy.

So your saying it's not Bonner.

[DPG21920]

Nice move, Tim. :tu

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Timmah!

[easy7]

Are you talking about Beaubois?

If so, why this nickname?

Someone in the NBA forum gave it to him. I think they said because Mavs fans thought he was a God...

[urunobili]

Solid move by Duncan. he looks like he doesnt want to play anymore though...

[4>0rings]

Parker just being the lazy son of a bitch he's supposed to be

[Libri]

Tim!

[Brazil]

Are you talking about Beaubois?

If so, why this nickname?

it's a stuff from downstairs with the staaacckkkeddd shtick

[TDomination]

Power move by Tim, need more of that!

[Bill_Brasky]

Good stuff by Tim.

[Fireball]

good work Timmy

[TDomination]

Pop pissed at Parker for not getting the ball to a wide open Green after Green tipped out the rebound

[DPG21920]

I just want to see one normal burst of speed by TP to finish at the rim. Just one. Show me something physically.

[quentin_compson]

Beautiful basketball there, from both teams. :hat

[Brazil]

would really like to see what diogu could do out there.

+1

[Cant_Be_Faded]

The offense looks like mung this entire 3rd quarter

[jhuan16]

Parker really need to pass the ball to open shooter.

[GSH]

Green punked Terry on that possession.

[smrattler]

Wow, a layup?!?!?!?!

[Fireball]

Beautiful basketball there, from both teams. :hat

thank David Stern for this ... it should be on National TV to punish him even more

[Spurologist]

Dallas broadcasters celebrating Dirk's elbow to TD.....as some sort of outstanding play

:rollin

[loveforthegame]

Great. Watch Cardinal torch us. He's certainly going to pick up some charges.

[Muser]

Parker you fucking faggot pass the ball

[Libri]

Parker really need to pass the ball to open shooter.

See that replay? Green was wide open and Parker didn't pass.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

This quarter is a mess. They can't score for shit.

[TIMMYD!]

Our offense can't do shit

[Muser]

Tiago puts up the weakest shit.

[TDfan2007]

Watching Timmy this game has been very painful. Loving Green's hustle.

[DPG21920]

Spurs need to close this out. Lead could get into the manageable range if not.

[TDomination]

Man I love Greens hustle, a couple tip ins so close to going in

[easy7]

Kloe is keeping the Spurs in the game.

[loveforthegame]

Green doing some work around the basket but can't get one to fall.

[Brazil]

ugliest quarter ever

[GSH]

That's two putbacks that Green has just missed, but he's working hard to put himself in position. Gotta like the hustle.

[Bill_Brasky]

I cringe at Tiago's post game.

[TDomination]

Ian still helping spurs :)

[NASpurs]

:lmao tech on Yawn

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol Ian

[GSH]

T'd up Mahinmi. There's the foul machine.

[Bill_Brasky]

Mahinmi doesn't just foul anymore, he gets T's!

[ace3g]

the past(Mahinmi) vs Present (Splitter)

[DPG21920]

Ian is dirty. Stupid Mav!!!!!!!!!! NO CLASS

[TDfan2007]

This Mavericks team is terrible, btw. Tired or not. They have a gimmicky offense, and play NO defense at all.

[Brazil]

Ian kind enough with his old team

[GSH]

Ian's basketball IQ is the same as his shoe size.

[urunobili]

Tiago getting owned by Ian...

[lefty]

Aaaaaaaargh

[NASpurs]

This game might end up 80-60

[urunobili]

First career T for Ian...

[Brazil]

wtf?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol Laser pointer

[lefty]

Mouse ejected :lol

[naico]

Thank god we're playing a bad Dallas team tonight.

[Bill_Brasky]

Mouse ejected :lol
:lol

[easy7]

Yawn is picking up the Mavs bad habits
