Game Thread: Spurs vs. Mavericks - Jan. 25 @ 7PM (CST) - ESPN

[RD2191]

COME ON WTF

[Strategic]

BS

[loveforthegame]

What's with these calls.

[TE]

:lmao horrible call

[TDMVPDPOY]

gary neal fkn sucks, missed all his shots this quarter so far...fkn pathetic

[Texas_Ranger]

can neal please gtfo

[ElNono]

(starts searching for choke pictures)

[Mugen]

what a horrible call.

[timtonymanu]

Fucking Salvatore needs to take his retirement check already.

[ontheraise]

fckin refs

[BatManu20]

I have a feeling this is going to be a close game. We just can't close teams out for some reason.

[timvp]

Splitter gets whistled for trying to grab a loose ball.

[RD2191]

fuck the refs

[Brunodf]

5 vs 8

[loveforthegame]

Game isn't over. Come on Spurs.

[JingleJangleJingle]

longer game means more commericals

[maverick1948]

10 fouls in 3 quarters 5 fouls in 4 mins Do the Mavs have even 1 in the 4th?

[Spurs Brazil]

damn refs

[chapnis]

Wow refs

[Strategic]

Dirk sold that one

[timtonymanu]

Ugh. Great. There goes any chance of playing baynes.

[TE]

Refs

[RD2191]

fuck this shit

[timvp]

Refs with an impressive run here.

[loveforthegame]

Wow. What can the Spurs do?

[Brunodf]

WTF is this Thunderefs??

[palangi]

some very questionable calls all night.

[Reck]

It pisses me off when Diaw is so utterly alone behind the 3 point line and he decides to pass on it. He's done that all season long and like 3 times on this game alone.

[TE]

WTF is this Thunderefs??
Exactly. Are we playing OKC? Shit man.

[FromWayDowntown]

Big Daddy Bennett has the Spurs just where he wanted them.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

In the penalty!? Shit. Don't ruin the party, I want to see some Bane! :(

[ontheraise]

as i said mavs cutting the lead spurs can't play focused during 48min

[Samr.]

NBA should fine these refs for flopping

[SpursRock20]

Why do refs still fall for that shit? Dirk throws himself forward anytime there is someone behind him during a rebound. Been doing it for years.

[Strategic]

Spurs are stagnant on O, need to get that straightened out and get some buckets.

[Mugen]

Somebody needs to tell Bennett Salvatore that he's about 4 months too early with these calls.

[BatManu20]

Can we really be that surprised? Spurs never hold big leads. Sure the refs are helping the Mavs out but our offense has gone ice cold.

[Johnny RIngo]

Some BS calls tonight but that's expected being an away game

[bklynspursfan]

Somebody needs to tell Bennett Salvatore that he's about 4 months too early with these calls.

:lol For real. They typed the wrong dates in the memo to him or something.

[EVAY]

NBA should fine these refs for flopping

The refs are doing exactly what the NBA is telling them to do.

[bklynspursfan]

Get Manu in there

[Texas_Ranger]

c'mon it's not the refs... Offense is just bad.

[Paranoid Pop]

Put Manu back in tbh.

[RD2191]

no bro the refs are calling a terrible game

[Skoobz]

The red mamba lol

[Budkin]

No Baynes tonight... damn

[Mugen]

Bonner should be cut ASAP tbh.

[EVAY]

I agree that we need an energy and focus boost. Manu would be great but he hasn't been warmed up so it would be likely to be dangerous for him.

[Texas_Ranger]

matt go suck on kobe

[Technique]

Wow. I didn't think it was possible to dislike Bonner anymore than I already did. Kobe greatest player in the game right now? I'm borderline infuriated right now

[BatManu20]

Get Tony the ball ASAP

[loveforthegame]

We can't buy one now.

[Captivus]

"Theres only 2 Mambas and I am one of them"!!

[Strategic]

bobo the clown

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Rocket described Kobe as "the greatest player in the game right now". Um, no, Matt. :oops

[TIMMYD!]

Would be great if we could hit a shot?

[timtonymanu]

Spurs, stop going cold.

[Strategic]

about time

[TDMVPDPOY]

fck run plays for splitter

[Texas_Ranger]

i have enough of Diaw being a pussy

[TIMMYD!]

Finally we get a fucking call

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

C'mon Spurs, 7-0 run so we can get some Bane!

[timtonymanu]

Roddy - 14 pts.

Season average - 3 pts.

Fucking scrub.

[urunobili]

Why Manu didn't play the 2nd Half? :pctoss

[Strategic]

it's time for the cruisers, TP and TS

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF????????????????

damn refs

[RD2191]

oh wtf

[timvp]

Salvatore turning Spurs vs. Mavs into a free throw contest down the stretch per f'ing par.

[Russ]

The Spurs are in need of a Gary Neal explosion.

[Mugen]

gtfoutta here with det call.

[BatManu20]

"Theres only 2 Mambas and I am one of them"!!

Don't forget the deadliest of them all..... the White Mamba!!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Scal_Media_Day.png/220px-Scal_Media_Day.png

[dbestpro]

Coach Bud needs to put some shooters on the floor.

[TE]

What kind of call is that? What's going on here?

[chapnis]

Salvatore turning Spurs vs. Mavs into a free throw contest down the stretch per f'ing par.
Except we don't get any

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This just goes to show you can never go to sleep on any NBA team - they will get back in the game, even a poor team like the 2012-13 Mavs.

[Johnny RIngo]

Fucking lame officiating

[ontheraise]

banks of cuban is open for the refs

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why Manu didn't play the 2nd Half? :pctoss

Didn't need him, and rest is good with a sore hammy. ;)

[Skoobz]

Cmonbud...lose your shit

[Reck]

Tony is just gassed. Take him out.

[FromWayDowntown]

Have to find some offense to stave off the manufactured run.

[EVAY]

What the hell is going on with this free throw stuff?

[TDMVPDPOY]

run more plays for splitter, no one on the mavs can guard him

[Strategic]

Thats where the ball needs to be.

[loveforthegame]

Need to attack. Stop settling for jumpers.

[LASToog36]

is ginobili injured checked ma phone and lonly logged in 8 min scares me a bit hate bein stuck at work

[BRs.Ganso]

PASS TO TIAGO FUCKING GUARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Cuban. :lol

[Johnny RIngo]

Roddy - 14 pts.

Season average - 3 pts.

Fucking scrub.

To be fair, our very own scrub went off on the Mavs as well. Blair with a season high tonight.

[Budkin]

We're playing not to lose now

[BatManu20]

WE need someone to step up bad right now. We have ZERO offense

[dbestpro]

Parker shooting like Popeye.

[ontheraise]

i wanna see more pain on cuban face

[Strategic]

hahahaha

[TDMVPDPOY]

vc and jim carey

[timtonymanu]

To be fair, our very own scrub went off on the Mavs as well. Blair with a season high tonight.

true but Roddy always does this to us every time we challenge him.

[FromWayDowntown]

A 12 point lead rarely seems to vulnerable.

[EVAY]

Come on, bud...figure something out here.

[Strategic]

carter's a dumbass

[Mugen]

That's an easy call :lol

[EVAY]

That ref looks afraid of Carter

[TE]

:lmao

[loveforthegame]

The fuck is going on?

[Mugen]

:lmao WTF

[FromWayDowntown]

Unbelievable. Only in one of Bennett's games, I guess. NBA life seemed better when he wasn't working games last year.

[dbestpro]

Coach Bud is gonna lose this one. He doesn't have a clue how to manage the end of a come back.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Roddy had so much promise, but h;'s never going to be more than an average backup and Spur-killer. :lol

[Captivus]

can they touch the net??

[timvp]

Clutch per par :sleep

[timtonymanu]

MVParker!

[Spurs Brazil]

This is the end

Tony Parker!!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Parker!!

[chapnis]

Ily Tony

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

that wasnt even a pretty move, that was just parker being fast

parker taking over

[Strategic]

yessssssssssss

[FromWayDowntown]

Clutch per par :sleep

Psssh. Hero ball per par.

[ElNono]

|o| <-- Nono

[Skoobz]

Baaaaaannnnngggg!

[Reck]

Well the refs tried Mavs. They tried. :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Clutch circus Parker. Awesome.

[maverick1948]

New nickname for TP Evileye!!!!!!!

[Chinook]

Boston with one of the biggest choke jobs I've ever seen.

[FromWayDowntown]

French Hero, Dirk Stopper.

[Libri]

Don't know if anybody noticed but the Spurs fan in back of the bench was celebrating in front of a Mavs fan. :lol

[BatManu20]

We've just stopped protecting the rim

[Spurs Brazil]

Great win

Big game by Tony, Blair and Neal

[ElNono]

come on gary

[timtonymanu]

Damnit Salvatore and damnit Spurs for preventing the Baynes sighting.

[024]

gino-who?

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

can we all agree that letting the mavs back in was a conspiracy to keep the aussies out of the game?

[loveforthegame]

Spurs had to make it interesting but good win. :tu

[HI-FI]

with JVG's truth bombs and appreciation of SA basketball, he's gotta be my favorite commentator

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

JVG with the goods: "I want Spurs season tickets... I wanna watch this every single night." Amen, brother.

[RD2191]

damn, we win despite the refs

[Brunodf]

5 vs 8 and we still got the win without Pop/TD/Manu/ one eyed Tony

[Mugen]

Salvatore needs to blow that whistle a couple more times so the fans can get their money's worth.

[dbestpro]

Is it Baynes time?

[carina_gino20]

Refs just trolling the Mavs and Spurs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

with JVG's truth bombs and appreciation of SA basketball, he's gotta be my favorite commentator

I'd like JVG to colour commentate for Marv.

[BatManu20]

Is it Baynes time?

It should be.

[TE]

Boston with one of the biggest choke jobs I've ever seen.
What happened?

[milkyway21]

double-double again for Splitter..Parker distributed the ball well

[Budkin]

Looks like we got the win but don't like how we choked

[playblair]

desperately need a back up pg ......... time to use cojo ...........

[Strategic]

Big, big win for the good guys!!!

[Skoobz]

Cmon bud insert patty and baynes

[spurraider21]

Kiwi with 4 steals

[ace3g]

is it Baynes time?

[Chinook]

What happened?

Up 20-something in the third only to lose by double-digits in overtime.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

No Bane to finish the game? Why, Bud, WHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??? :lmao

[Strategic]

Bud's looking down toward the end of the pine.

[Mugen]

that elbow woke Tony up tbh. I don't think he goes HAM tonight without it.

[timtonymanu]

There he is.

[Chinook]

is it Baynes time?

Apparently not.

[Strategic]

there he comes

[Paranoid Pop]

I like TP's demeanor.

[SPURSCHAMP]

Bain Sighting!!

[ace3g]

here we go

[JingleJangleJingle]

seriously fuck off Mavs before one of our players gets injured.

[spurs1990]

Wasn't Van Gundy Houston's coach in the TMac comeback game in 2004?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Looks like we got the win but don't like how we choked

That wasn't a choke - we went to sleep, they upped their energy and got in the penalty. We then stabilised it and win hansomely. Nowhere near a choke.

[TMTTRIO]

by the way what was the point in taking Manu on the road trip if he was only going to play 8 minutes. Might as well have left him at home and let him get some rest.

[Reck]

LMAO at this fucking huge banner uptop.

[Strategic]

NBA debut

[Skoobz]

Baynes up!!

[024]

the baynes era begins...

[Brox6]

why is manu playing only 8 mins?

[loveforthegame]

Whoopee. 44 seconds to see Banes.

[Libri]

Leonard didn't even try to call a timeout after the fall. Probably remembered what happened last time. lol

[Skoobz]

Hopefully baynes stuffs the shit outta VC

[Strategic]

will he make the stat sheet?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Just quietly, when I was a teenager I secretly dreamed of being where Aron Baynes and Patty Mills are now. Goodonya, boys!!! :D

[BatManu20]

Omg Gary Neal...

[spurraider21]

Baynes would have dropped 30-20 if not for jet lag

[EVAY]

I assume that Parker's eye will be shut by tomorrow night so I figure he won't play tomorrow.

[Spurs Brazil]

This Dallas coach is a moron

[Reck]

Mavs trying so hard still trying to win a winless game. rofl

[timtonymanu]

Fucking Spur scrub cant even have Baynes get the ball.

[Libri]

Baynes looks big.

[BatManu20]

Rick Carlisle calling 2 TO's in the last minute is pissing me off

[PingPong]

At least, Banes runs a lot.

[DesignatedT]

Baynes is sick!!!!!!!

[MVPCues]

That wasn't a choke - we went to sleep, they upped their energy and got in the penalty. We then stabilised it and win hansomely. Nowhere near a choke.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[Brunodf]

3rd stringers are destroying our defensive 3pt%

[Paranoid Pop]

Baynes is sick!!!!!!!

:lol

[Blizzardwizard]

The hell was that pass Neal? Nice job letting them get over 100. Consider they 60 halfway through the third..

[capek]

Baynes looks big.

And pretty fast. Looks like he can run the floor pretty well. That's a good sign.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Baynes looks big.

Yup. He's big and nasty. Exactly what this team needs. :)

[Samr.]

Big dude. No way he's just 6' 10". Bet he gets a lot of burn in the next few games.

[Captivus]

Whats Dallas doing?

[TDMVPDPOY]

fkn stupid to play baynes now,

[SPURSCHAMP]

Wtfwtfwtfw

[chapnis]

lol baynes

[timtonymanu]

Baynes with a fuckup.

[024]

rofl baynes. benched permanently.

[loveforthegame]

Oops.

[ace3g]

there is the passing I talked about from Baynes

[Strategic]

whoops , turnover

[Reck]

Spurs hahahahahahhah these fucking chumps.

[FromWayDowntown]

Bout to get TMac'd

[Skoobz]

There go's the baynes hype....

[hoopdreams11]

Why is patty not in instead of neal?

[Splits]

I bet Pop is laughing his ass off right now.

[chapnis]

to be fair, gary dropped it.

[BatManu20]

Baynes with a horrible pass tbh. Either way, this is an embarrassing finish to this game fo the Spurs. Horrible execution the past 2 minutes.

[capek]

:lol oops oh well, not a meaningful mistake

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

aussie aussie aussie oy oy oy

[ontheraise]

fckin aussies

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bane turns it over to make it 4pt game. :oops

[SPURSCHAMP]

:lol did anyone see Baynes mouth fuck

[MVPCues]

That goof up will go a long way for him. Probably a good thing.

[carina_gino20]

Bud just setting up Pop's excuse for not playing baynes

[Strategic]

and when cuban is the only one left in the house

[Paranoid Pop]

RIP Baynes.

[Spurs Brazil]

damn Bonner

[Reck]

This Bayne fuck looks like he has down syndromes.

[blkroadrunners]

Wtf is up with Buds lineup

[chapnis]

Give it to Baynes so he can shoot FTs

[loveforthegame]

Please let this game end.

[Libri]

And pretty fast. Looks like he can run the floor pretty well. That's a good sign.


Yup. He's big and nasty. Exactly what this team needs. :)

:tu

[RD2191]

lol chapnis

[ontheraise]

put tp in

[TIMMYD!]

Holy fuck! Can this game finish already

[lefty]

Lol at the "Spurs sign Aaron Baynes" thread

[timtonymanu]

FFS just end the game already

[capek]

Fuck the Mavs. Seriously. Scrub lotto team.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

I actually stopped watching the game midway through the 4th. I thought it was over...

Whoops!

[chapnis]

A forgettable debut

[Strategic]

nothing like a photo finish

[loveforthegame]

Banes on the bench. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Yeah lets just judge Baynes on that one turnover, folks. :rolleyes

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Jesus fuck the auto update blows fucking ass if youre on a mobile

[KaiRMD1]

Well, we won't be seeing Baynes on the court again until the last week of the season

[objective]

Neal is just as guilty on that play as Baynes. What was he doing letting the ball go between his hands and then falling?

[chapnis]

Baynes, -8, 44sec

[ontheraise]

lol baynes sat

[Strategic]

did they forget to start the f clock?

[MVPCues]

They guys are just trying to make it exciting for Stern. :)

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Yeah lets just judge Baynes on that one turnover, folks. :rolleyes
i think most of the people making fun of him arent being too serious

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Humourous ending.

Bane will learn from this. :lmao

[Paranoid Pop]

The other scrubs are tanking to make Baynes look bad by solidarity with Blair...

[Captivus]

That Baynes play is so sad its funny

[Skoobz]

It took 5 seconds for fans to want to hang Baynes

[JingleJangleJingle]

that was goaltendin

[Strategic]

goaltending on that buzzer beater

[TDMVPDPOY]

hey isnt that a goal tending on the green 3? the buzzer didnt start

[spurs1990]

goal tend!!! better replay that

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

A forgettable debut

I know what you mean, but I think people will remember it for its humour. :lmao

[chapnis]

That was so similar to the Hornets ending, kinda

[ffadicted]

42 seconds, +/- of -8, 1 TO

not the best start haha :P
and tbh that 3 needs to count...
