Game Blog: Mavericks @ Spurs - March 23rd 7:30 pm CT

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol Neal bank 3

[100%duncan]

:lmao neal

[rasho8]

Neeeeeaaaaalllll!!!! Ball movement ftw.

[Chachachango]

Is that how that shot was meant to be?

[ffadicted]

lol right back where we started

[Robz4000]

Spurs recovered at the end. Good job!

[cheguevara]

motherfucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats how you close a quarter

[GSH]

When the offense gets that ragged, quit worrying about offense and play some freaking D. The offense will come.

[ViceCity84]

Neal Bank INC
Start making donations

[100%duncan]

Neal just crossing out Kidd's bullshit 3's earlier in the quarter

[TDomination]

haha, what a great finish to a bad quarter

[siraulo23]

neal called bank!!!

neal with it

[NASpurs]

Diaw kicks out the ball out of the paint when he drives in, like a guard. Incredible.

[loveforthegame]

Great close out to the quarter. :tu

The new guys and role players are going to bring this game home for us tonight.

[angelbelow]

How many games has tiago missed? Seems like he is mini Manu

Hes missed a grand total of 3 this season.

[timvp]

When Dallas' ball movement is halfway decent, they score. Thankfully they've mostly played ugly basketball.

One pick-and-roll in and I already love the Ginobili/Diaw pick-and-roll.

[rasho8]

Dallas roars back up by five... Spurs using power combo Diaw-Bonner get back a 7 point lead.

What the hell kind of game is this?

[GB20]

diaw is moving pretty good.

[ace3g]

Diaw looks fuckin quick out there. I know he is big, but his feet move really fast. It looks hilarious tbh.

That's because he wasn't always a PF

[Nathan89]

Where is the Mavs big off-season addition? Odom that is...

[roycrikside]

After all that, a 18-18 3rd quarter. Dirk 5-17, after starting 4-6.

[rasho8]

Where is the Mavs big off-season addition? Odom that is...

D-league

[Chachachango]

LOL at Nathans sig. Lol

[noles1983]

Hes missed a grand total of 3 this season.

Seems like more than that. Hmmm thanks

[GSH]

Hes missed a grand total of 3 this season.

:tu


That's how legends are born.

[100%duncan]

Nice move Captain!

[ace3g]

SJAX with the layup

[Borosai]

3/4 Assessment:

- Bonner is the pants.
- Neal is not a PG. Catch and shoot my friend.
- Green tries too hard sometimes, but it's better than not trying.
- Duncan is taking some ugly shots.
- A few guys on this team have the bad habit of jumping and then looking for someone to pass it to. Stop it.
- Diaw looks very good. A bit heavy, but good handles, quick feet, nice vision. Defended Dirk pretty well too.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Jackson!!!!

[100%duncan]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu 333333333333333

[TDomination]

we getting the homecourt bounces now

[bklynspursfan]

Manu!

[Chachachango]

Fuck yes, Manu/

[loveforthegame]

Nice start to the 4th.

[widowmaker]

Diaw is gonna open up this offense even more. And his D on dirk has been outstanding.

[ffadicted]

I nominate the Mavs announcers as the biggest homers in the league

[TDomination]

you can tell pop likes green, he sees the mistakes he makes but he sees a lot of potential

[100%duncan]

Maaaaaaaaaaaanuuuuuuuuuu

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Hahaha even Green wasn't expecting that pass if you watched closely :lol

[Nathan89]

S-Jax= Lateral move:lmao

[100%duncan]

I nominate the Mavs announcers as the biggest homers in the league

I hear sean and bill but are they worse than OKC and Memphis announcers?

[Warlord23]

Don't get into the penalty with these non-shooting fouls

[ace3g]

nice help D by Diaw

[noles1983]

I heart SJAX

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

The Captain for 33333333333

[ace3g]

SJAX for 3!!!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Jackson!

[100%duncan]

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiideeeeeeeeeeeeee OOOOOOOOOOPEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNN

[ffadicted]

BUCKETSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sick

[TDomination]

wooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! heck ya this is exciting!

[roycrikside]

We're beating the fuck out of them. Outscored 'em by 20 since their 5 point lead.

[Manu-20]

LOL people saying rj for jackson was finacial move

[loveforthegame]

Jackson is unreal. I'm in love.

[100%duncan]

How I love Captain Jackson!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

nice help D by Diaw

Yeah, that was great.

[rasho8]

Manu, Green, Bonner, Jax, Diaw..... Killing it. And this is really our fucking bench!!

[timmike2]

[biziofromdowntown]

[Chachachango]

Capt. Jack bombing the Seaaaaaaaa, bitches.

[siraulo23]

bucketsssssssssss

[spurs1990]

Stephen Jackson with the muthafocking concords dropping points like weight!!!!!!!!

[timvp]

Damn, I so missed those Jack threes. That was puro Jack :cry

Other team reeling, step on their neck. Beautiful.

[TE]

I love Jackson's passion. That kind of shit is contagious.

[Borosai]

Bonner with the assist. Just sayin'.

[Texas_Ranger]

love that guy. :D

[100%duncan]

Started the 4th totally opposite the way they started the 3rd

[Nathan89]

This team is so entertaining now. The energy is nice.

[Bill_Brasky]

Jackson makes love to pressure.

[bklynspursfan]

Loving the energy

[jiggy_55]

So if Duncan rests all of the 4th, maybe he travels with the team tomorrow to New Orleans?

[rasho8]

Amazing to say Bonner sparked our 14-0 run.

[noles1983]

Stephen Jackson with the muthafocking concords dropping points like weight!!!!!!!!

Translation??

[cheguevara]

Jax n Diaw on d floor. spurs go up by 15 :lmao

bad motherfuckers

[100%duncan]

excellent D

[rasho8]

Dirk is getting manhandled.

[ffadicted]

Diaw's D on dirk is sexy as fawk

[TDomination]

wow, diaw is doing a phenomenal job on dirk

[Chachachango]

Manu had an open lane, why did he pass it? TO BONNER!

[Mal]

Stupid foul but Dirk is getting pissed

[Richie]

Diaw has had that call coming, had a few dodgy screens so far

[GSH]

Damn, I so missed those Jack threes. That was puro Jack :cry

Other team reeling, step on their neck. Beautiful.


I want to see that more than anything right now. If they can start doing that, the post season is wide open.

[timvp]

Damn, Manu, the place you can't allow Ian to go is under the basket.

[100%duncan]

Now the spurs have to settle down, kill time, and run offense like bosses.

[Bill_Brasky]

Pretty good D being played right now.

[ffadicted]

Holy shitt his motherfucker in the stream changing the channel
Kill yourself

[jestersmash]

Boris Diaw and Stephen Jackson with team leading +20 and +18 in +/- :lol

[timvp]

Jack with the Steve Smith hesitation move. Classic :smokin

[rasho8]

Oh.. Jax missed Bonner there.

[timmike2]

who changed the channel! damn

[bklynspursfan]

Diaw played really well

[ffadicted]

iguale!

the guy who's streaming the game i'm watchin, just changed his tv to the spanish channel lol

SAme lol

ffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Chachachango]

I think the mavs want Green to shoot. Fucking kidd

[noles1983]

Lololololol

[100%duncan]

Fuck you kidd

[Chachachango]

Yeah, splash.

[100%duncan]

Booonnnnerrrr

[Mal]

You local spursfans should have some fanswatch in all fast food in the area, and keep Diaw out of it

[rasho8]

There you go Timmy. Snatch that assist.

[bklynspursfan]

Translation??

"Stephen Jackson is playing exceptionally well on this fine evening"

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner 333333333333

[Russo21]

Jackson with 8 rebounds and counting. Leonard with 6. Nice to have a good rebounding combination at SF.

RJ was probably the worst rebounding SF i have ever watched. We have just got ourselves a massive upgrade at SF, offense, defense, rebounding and versatility. Our SF's have it all :)

[noles1983]

There is a real 333333 you pos Kidd

[Chachachango]

Facepalm

[bklynspursfan]

Bonner WTF??

[100%duncan]

:lmao bonner

[Kyl3]

Terry getting pissed off haha

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol BONNER

[Arcadian]

Ah, Matt Bonner missed his only chance for a dunk.

[loveforthegame]

Bonner showing up against the Mavs. Who knew.

[noles1983]

"Stephen Jackson is playing exceptionally well on this fine evening"

:toast

[loveforthegame]

Spurs defense stifling Dirk big time.

[rasho8]

We need this Bonner during the playoffs. And with the crazy weapons we have right now... We should see it.

[Mal]

Lol, what a passing game

[NRHector]

"Stephen Jackson is playing exceptionally well on this fine evening"

:lol

[100%duncan]

Missed that badly

[spurspokesman]

bonner cant jump

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Holy shitt his motherfucker in the stream changing the channel
Kill yourself

I know! What the fuck!

[Mal]

Ok, I can say it. Spurs need HCA as long as it is possible

[loveforthegame]

Nearly 34 minutes before Dirk grabbed his first rebound. Amazing.

[NRHector]

Spurs defense stifling Dirk big time.

Dirk was getting away with a lot of shit at Dallas

[timvp]

Damn, these Spurs are suddenly amazingly fun to watch.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

SJax 10 and 8 :tu

[100%duncan]

Arena would have gone bananas if that went in. Well, really can't complain the way Sjax has been sparking this team up.

[Bill_Brasky]

Seriously, when was the last time we held someone under 90? It could happen here....

[Manu-20]

dam I find it hard to belevie this spurs team was the same one a few weeks ago RC and pop making so much spurs fans eat crow for doing hardley anyting in the offseason.

[jestersmash]

We're currently out-rebounding Dallas 48 to 30.

[Borosai]

Jackson >>>>> Jefferson
Diaw >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Empty Roster Spot

[Mal]

OKC is about to lose a game

[NRHector]

Arena would have gone bananas if that went in. Well, really can't complain the way Sjax has been sparking this team up.

Mofo has Mojo

[jestersmash]

Per ESPN:

Top Performers

Dallas: J. Kidd 14 Pts, 6 Reb, 1 Ast, 1 Stl

San Antonio: M. Bonner 14 Pts, 3 Reb, 5 Ast, 2 Blk

:lol

[NASpurs]

Dirk with the Kobe-esque 5-20

[100%duncan]

dam I find it hard to belevie this spurs team was the same one a few weeks ago RC and pop making so much spurs fans eat crow for doing hardley anyting in the offseason.

This ain't the same spurs team 3 weeks ago, brotha.

[spurspokesman]

Damn, these Spurs are suddenly amazingly fun to watch.
:wow:ihit

[bklynspursfan]

Diaw with the hustle

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Boris Diaw and Stephen Jackson with team leading +20 and +18 in +/- :lol


Someone will look at Diaw's stats and say he sucks....

[loveforthegame]

It's amazing how much flexibility and versatility this team has now. Time will tell how far it can take us but we're damn sure better than last year and built for a better playoff run.

[100%duncan]

Kawwwhiiiiiiiiii

[bklynspursfan]

Great look to Kawhi!

[rasho8]

Diaw again!!

[Mal]

I fucking love Spurs` passing game

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Great save by Diaw

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

extra eyes, Sean is hilarious :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Has Blair played at all this half?

[spurspokesman]

leonard dunk

[noles1983]

That wasn't a foul

[100%duncan]

where's the foul

[rasho8]

Bullshit call

[spurspokesman]

Someone will look at Diaw's stats and say he sucks....
yup

[100%duncan]

Has Blair played at all this half?

He started

[Chachachango]

Fucking mahinmmmini

[spurspokesman]

yawn

[Russo21]

whos been playing D on dirk?

[Chachachango]

Come on. I Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo too.

[Manu-20]

wtf how was that a foul on diaw

[noles1983]

Fuck you refs

[100%duncan]

Boxing out is now a loose ball foul? Marion was fucking over the back

[Mal]

whos been playing D on dirk?

I saw Blair, Bonner, Jackson and Diaw

[roycrikside]

how was that a foul? Diaw was boxing out. He had inside position.

[ace3g]

how was that a foul on Diaw...

[timvp]

Diaw in the closing lineup already? Yes, please, Pop.

[spurspokesman]

kill the clock ass wipes

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

whos been playing D on dirk?


Blair/Bonner/SJax/Diaw

[100%duncan]

C'mon guy 11 pt lead with 4 mins to go. Let's do this

[jestersmash]

Boxing out is now a loose ball foul? Marion was fucking over the back

Diaw clearly had his arm. It was the right call.

[spursince#99]

lol Blair never plays in crunch time

[jesterbobman]

Gang rebounding = Amazeballs. Almost 50 rebounds with only 1 centre, playing a lineup with Diaw and Bonner as bigs.

In other news, Kevin Love is going mental on OKC right now. 48 points(16/24 fg, 9/12 ft, 7 3's) and 14 rebounds. If Minny wins, and we win, only 1 game back in losses.

[Bill_Brasky]

Ugh cmon refs.....that was a weak call given the situation and the fact that both teams have gotten away with more than that tonight....

[Russo21]

Sweet, good team work then, Doing great work so far

[TE]

diaw in the closing lineup already? Yes, please, pop.

+1

[urunobili]

Mavs back into it after the Green shitty play...

[spurspokesman]

sad a smart team like the spurs know sh#t about clock management lol

[MaNu4Tres]

Green and Neal need to real it in a little. They've been overly aggressive (bad aggressive) in their shot selection and decision making.

[jestersmash]

I knew we were doing a pretty good job on Dirk, but 5-20 good? Wow. Impressive.

[jermaine]

Diaw playin hard. Jordan watchin this game an sayin "that fat fuck ain't never played that hard for me".

[roycrikside]

FYI: T-Pups and OKC in OT.

[TE]

Absolutely love how Diaw is playing right now despite the ticky tack calls.

[Robz4000]

Ugh, Spurs beginning to blow it.

[Manu-20]

good to get ginobili back in we need another playmaker out there

[Mal]

Diaw in the closing lineup already? Yes, please, Pop.

Already forgot about Tiago ?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Love with 50 and 14...... :wow

[timvp]

Tbh, Diaw probably has the most point guard instincts of any active player on the Spurs roster. He sees the game very well.

[Splits]

Diaw may be fat, and I'm not sure how big his gasbag is, but dude is putting forth one helluva an effort with good results. Too soon to tell, but if he gives this type of energy on a regular basis, it is a net-add.

BTW, Bonner doesn't look like shit.

[Nathan89]

Surprised Blair doesn't have a whataburger commercial.

[spurspokesman]

finish

[Amuseddaysleeper]

HUGE Leonard play, wow!

[100%duncan]

God, I love kawhi leonard

[bklynspursfan]

Thank you Kawhi!

[ace3g]

Kawhi with the nice hands

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

<3 Kawhi

[Mal]

Kevin Love is bad mofo

[Chachachango]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuk u Dirk ass bitch


Gooooooooo Kaaaaaaaaaaawhi

[TDomination]

[roycrikside]

Leonard is like a bull.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Oh my gosh Kawhi! What a baller! fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[timvp]

:lol @ timvp doubting Leonard.

[Robz4000]

Leonard the closer. I like it!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard is a fucking beast. He isn't flashy but he just gets things done.

[Russo21]

6 players in double figures. Love it

[spurspokesman]

leonard is impressive

[biziofromdowntown]

dirk leaonard bitch!

[tomtom]

Kawhi is a beast

[ace3g]

Kawhi playing point forward

[angelbelow]

Green and Neal need to real it in a little. They've been overly aggressive (bad aggressive) in their shot selection and decision making.

Agreed. Green started off hot but a bit too wild since then. Neal has struggled all game long.

[Nathan89]

Leonard is a beast.

[Mal]

okc lost. Goodie

[Brazil]

Leonard is a bad boy

[jestersmash]

Kawhi just engineered a +4 point swing in favor of the Spurs single-handedly.

[spurspokesman]

:lol @ timvp doubting Leonard.

great self examination:lol

[100%duncan]

:lol @ timvp doubting Leonard.

Welcome to the Church of Leonard :toast

[ViceCity84]

First time since 2008,I feel we are legit title contenders.
When we loss to Bulls at home,I felt like Bob Hope's cousin.NO HOPE.Now I feel like we are gonna win the whole fucking thing.

[Bill_Brasky]

Leonard making HUGE plays right now. My god what studly defense on Dirk.

[loveforthegame]

How nice is it to have production like this from the wing position?

[100%duncan]

Bank is still open?

[Mal]

Good old Timmy.

[Spursfan4lyfe]

well so much for the thought Kawhi couldn't score

[spurspokesman]

murder the clock.

[bklynspursfan]

Great game man

[100%duncan]

Green shoots badly

[Chachachango]

hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fuck u Dirlk

[bklynspursfan]

Lmao Dirk getting out worked by a rookie!

[Bill_Brasky]

Dirk mad. Awesome.

[rasho8]

Dirk mad... He got a T llolol

[Mal]

Dirk is pissed

[100%duncan]

:lmao Dirk becomin Kawhi's bitch

[Chachachango]

Fuck as bitch almost broke Kahwi's arm

[roycrikside]

Spurs in Dirk's head LOL.

[loveforthegame]

Dirk :lol

[ace3g]

Kawhi with draws the charge on Dirk, push in the back, then Dirk gets the T!!!

[Russo21]

16 rebounds between leonard and jackson. Man what a great SF tandom

[biziofromdowntown]

Oh my gosh, khwai is into dirk head

[rasho8]

Lol they pulled Dirk.... Surrender.

[jermaine]

Dirk is alil upset.

[ViceCity84]

When does Diaw replace Blair in starting lineup?

[Libri]

Mr. Hasselhoff frustrated.

[spurspokesman]

Finish him (mortal kombat voice)

[cheguevara]

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao Dirk

[ace3g]

Diaw and JA checking back in; Diaw getting a lot more minutes tonight than I thought he would, but I'm not complaining!!!

[timmike2]

Lol at mavs commentator saying dirk is saying in german hahah

[GSH]

Look at that line by Leonard. 12 points, 8 boards, a steal, and a block. And it FEELS like he's having an off night. That's how that PER has been staying so high. Even on an off night he's just quietly beasting.

[bklynspursfan]

Leonard is automatic in the paint

[biziofromdowntown]

noone can stop Leonard

[MaNu4Tres]

Green with 20 attempts tonight. Kid needs to chill out-- half of those attempts where terrible decisions.

[rasho8]

Can't believe we beat the hell out of Dallas this bad without Tony or Tiago.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Why the fuck is Ginobili back in?

[100%duncan]

Dawwwwwssooon

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Why is manu still in?

[bklynspursfan]

Dawson getting in on the party!

[Chachachango]

like many here:

WEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee staaaaaaackeeeeeeeeeed

[spurspokesman]

Green with 20 attempts tonight. Kid needs to chill out-- half of those attempts where terrible decisions.
