Game Thread: Spurs @ Mavericks - Dec. 30 @ 6:30 PM CST

[Captivus]

Tony and Timmy have taken more shots and hero ball is okay as long as you make the shots, tbh.

Kobe? Is that you?

[phxspurfan]

Boris Gervin

[ajballer4]

Diaw has gotta be getting close a season high. This is the most Ive ever seen him shoot

[loveforthegame]

We need this Diaw.

[loveforthegame]

Rebounding is an issue this quarter so far.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Patty isn't really taking advantage of his opportunity, tbh.

[ElNono]

FWIW, I was at the AT&T Center today and the fan shop was closed :td

[loveforthegame]

Mills struggling tonight.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Diaw is straight hero balling right now. :downspin: I love it! :D

[Joyrider]

DAT GUY MANU

[phxspurfan]

ok so maybe splitter is good at layups

[Libri]

beautiful pass

[loveforthegame]

Spurs still finding ways to take care of business. :tu

[timtonymanu]

Please give us this Diaw in the playoffs.

Patty not taking advantage of his opportunity again. He's obviously better in spot minutes.

[bbarry]

Does Mills have a floater or a runner, or anything? It seems like he always passes it out when it looks like he has a good look for a paint point.

[Captivus]

Get NDC!!

[ajballer4]

He's an energy guy. Not the backup PG

[Uriel]

Push the lead to 20 and get the Bonner and Blair in there. We have a game tomorrow.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

ESPN's box score +/- stats are fucked up...

http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400278169

Manu with -31, Boris with -45, etc.

[EVAY]

Tony and Timmy have taken more shots and hero ball is okay as long as you make the shots, tbh.

Then it should have applied at the beginning of the game when Tony was 100% for his first several shots. And Tim and Tony have played more minutes,tbh

[Spurs Brazil]

Great pass Manu.

And Diaw with a great 2nd half, after the horrible 1st

[EVAY]

Manu is now and always has been the best passer on the team.

[phxspurfan]

wth is taco bueno

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Then it should have applied at the beginning of the game when Tony was 100% for his first several shots. And Tim and Tony have played more minutes,tbh
I never was complaining when Tony was hitting his shots. In fact, I don't think I've accused Tony of hero ball tonight.

[ajballer4]

wth is taco bueno

A shitty taco cabana

[loveforthegame]

Would be nice to wrap this up early with the Nets waiting back in SA.

[EVAY]

wrong.

[naico]

Nowitzki whining per usual

[Captivus]

He was going for the dunk!

[ajballer4]

Not showing it today, but I think Jae Crowder is going to be a player in this league

[Dr. Robert Lee]

wrong.
You are lying, tbh.

I accused Manu of hero balling it when he was 1/6, but that's it. Never accused Tony.

[Paranoid Pop]

MAnu and Diaw out, no playmakers anymore...

[timtonymanu]

I thought Crowder was Faried for a while, tbh.

[loveforthegame]

Not showing it today, but I think Jae Crowder is going to be a player in this league

I like him too. But he hasn't shown much against the two meetings against us. But he's one of the few bright spots in this crappy season for the Mavs.

[Captivus]

If NDC doesnt play when we are 15 pts ahead...i dont know...

[Paranoid Pop]

Splitter getting owned, could use a monkeyballer in the frountcourt tbh.

[loveforthegame]

Good timeout by Pop. Get the guys focused again. Let's finish this.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

If NDC doesnt play when we are 15 pts ahead...i dont know...
The starters are blowing the lead, so we'll never know if the Grand Wizard would have gotten a shot, tbh.

[TDMVPDPOY]

parker when he over dribbles the ball usually ends up in a stupid turnover, or him forcing the ball out in a bailout hoping the receiver bails him out with a last second hail mary shot....

[Paranoid Pop]

If NDC doesnt play when we are 15 pts ahead...i dont know...

Well he's the odd man out since the undersized shooting guards fit better next to Manu...

[Uriel]

Crowder = Farried = Jordan Hill

[EVAY]

You are lying, tbh.

I accused Manu of hero balling it when he was 1/6, but that's it. Never accused Tony.

Perhaps mistaken but not lying since it is your go-to comment against anyone at any time. What you fail to account for so often that is genuinely irritating is that ALL of our shooters are going to miss some shots and that ALL of them have to keep shooting to get it back.

There is a veritable epidemic, monsieur le medecin, of overusing the hero ball moniker.

[Flawless]

I want to see a mills,nando,kawhi,diaw,splitter lineup

[ace3g]

Jack knows that spot well in Dallas!!!

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Most of my accusations are directed towards Gary Neal, though Tony does get the label at times.

[Joyrider]

Jack knows that spot well in Dallas!!!

:lobt2:

[loveforthegame]

Jackson having a nice 4th quarter.

[timtonymanu]

:cry Trade Jack. He sucks now.

[DAF86]

Wait, was Dirk really crying about someone going with his knee up? :lol

[Anonymous Cowherd]

Kawhi beasting Dirk on D again

[Darkwaters]

Just noticed that Ginobili has 20 points.

...I thought it'd never happen ever again...:lol

[ace3g]

...I thought it'd never happen ever again...:lol

B2B 20 pt games

[Uriel]

Get Duncan and Parker out of there. We have a game tomorrow.

[ajballer4]

This.

[phxspurfan]

why are the starts still in

[ajballer4]

Blair comin in. Bring em all in Pop

[Captivus]

why are the starts still in

Every year...

[Uriel]

In honor of my 1000th post...

It's Blair time! :hungry:

[EVAY]

Most of my accusations are directed towards Gary Neal, though Tony does get the label at times.

Self-awareness is not really your strong suit, is it?

[Boomersgold]

Stephen Jackson, a -48? The +/- stat is fucked up.

[TDMVPDPOY]

parker in hero mode now, tryin to pad his stats now....fkn gtfo

[Flawless]

Patty and De Colo in :hungry:

[Boomersgold]

parker in hero mode now, tryin to pad his stats now....fkn gtfo

He always does this when he's kept late in the fourth quarter of a guaranteed win.

[Anonymous Cowherd]

what I like most about this win is that we've beaten a (semi)legit side on the road without relying heavily on three-point shooting

[phxspurfan]

lol blair is so bad

[Captivus]

Stephen Jackson, a -48? The +/- stat is fucked up.

Yeah, Ive following that stat today and its crazy. Probably the final stat would be ok though

[timtonymanu]

That "Hero Ball" term is really fucking annoying now.

[ajballer4]

Lawlz blair getting blocked by Bowbo

[Captivus]

Bonner: IT BURNS!!

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Dose Patty not know how to shoot a layup?

[Boomersgold]

That "Hero Ball" term is really fucking annoying now.

Misused a lot on this forum, tbh.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Stephen Jackson, a -48? The +/- stat is fucked up.
Rodrigue Beaubois (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3963/rodrigue-beaubois) with a +53. :D

[EVAY]

That "Hero Ball" term is really fucking annoying now.

YA THINK?!

[Brunodf]

Parker played well on offense, great game by TD/Manu

[Flawless]

Nice Patty!

[TDMVPDPOY]

keep them under 90

[Darkwaters]

This Dallas announcer is a moron.

"You know, we've talked about this before, but when Dallas is making their shots, we're just such a better offensive team."

Well no shit dumbass. Thats like saying, "when we score more points than the other team we win more games." It's kind of a "no shit, sherlock" assessment.

[Boomersgold]

Patty for three!

[loveforthegame]

Mills warming up for tomorrow night.

[Darkwaters]

B2B 20 pt games

Yep.

I'm referencing the thread "Will Ginobili ever score 20 pts again?"

[Boomersgold]

Bonner's the best wide open shooter in the NBA.

[Captivus]

Ok Mills, I got my eye on you! Dont you ever ask for the ball, wait 15 seconds and then pass it to NDC!!
I know what you did there!!

[Sildegil]

parker in hero mode now, tryin to pad his stats now....fkn gtfo

I dont know if it is allowed on this board but, as a very quiet member who is reading Spurstalk for nearly 10 years, I really want to say it at least once :

SHUT THE FUCK UP, BLOODY RETARD!

PS : it could also have been said to Elnonononono

[Uriel]

Great win. Even better that our point differential will skyrocket gain. :tu

[loveforthegame]

Good win. Always wonderful to beat the Mavs.

[timvp]

FTM.

Good job.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol jax dribbling in front of french alah face runnin down the clock

[Darkwaters]

Great win. Even better that our point differential will skyrocket gain. :tu

Dallas has been very helpful in that respect lately

ElNono is a good poster. TDMVP deserves every single one of it though.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good win. I hope there's enough left for tomorrow

[EVAY]

I agree that E-N is generally good-natured. The other guy is just an ass, tbh.

[Boomersgold]

TDMVP's allowed to express his opinions. This is a Spurs forum, and if he feels like saying that Parker plays hero ball (which he does sometimes), then he can.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol wankers with hero testes down deep their throats are blind by his hero ball consecutive plays missed baskets, disregard every bad play when he makes a good play....

[timtonymanu]

If only all of his opinions and takes weren't shit. TDMVP is part of the reason why this board is unreadable sometimes.

Good heavens. I am not trying to curtail his first amendment rights. But the exercise of those rights occasionally exposes an ass. Just sayin'

[SPIDER2311]

Patty looks to be playing better defence the last few games

[ElNono]

The systematism of his criticisms cant be called an opinion. He is simply trolling and you know it.

[TDMVPDPOY]

parker the scrub immune from criticisms....lol CoP fans...

[Boomersgold]

I feel sorry for the Celtics. Rondo, without Ray Allen to bail him out when there aren't any good plays, is simply not all-star level. Mediocre passing, a poor shooter, etc.

[Sean Cagney]

Bonner's the best wide open shooter in the NBA.

Until later on in the year when he even open bricks them lol.

[TDMVPDPOY]

boris diaw when his aggressive on offense taking shots and playing good defense = horry

when his playing passive = richard jefferson...

dunno why his afraid to shoot the ball when his open, he has good fg% that backs it up that he should take the shot

[TDMVPDPOY]

this game showed us Mills is not a very good ball handler setting up any form of play or protecting the ball whether it with the starters or bench....dude is only good at the steve kerr role spot up shooter only....

[PhingerRoll]

One game doesn't show us anything. Why are fans so fucking frantic from one game to the next? Don't over-analyze shit, just enjoy the season and be glad you are a fan of one of the best franchises in all of sport...

[TampaDude]

Another bitchslapping of the Mavs. Love it!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

Correction...THE best franchise in all of sports.
