Game Thread: Mavs @ Spurs - Mar. 14 @ 7:00 PM CST

[HI-FI]

lol that was awesome, not sure what it was.

[ElNono]

crofl

[superjames1992]

LOL, Timmy.

[HI-FI]

instant gif material there lol

[superjames1992]

Neal, go away.

[jag]

This is some ugly ass offense from the Spurs

[BatManu20]

Shoot the ball Diaw!

[Spurs Brazil]

Timmy dunk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

tim!

[ElNono]

quietly the defense has been great since the end of the 2nd quarter

[ElNono]

I'm just uneasy what's going to happen when Tim/Kawhi sit down

[bklynspursfan]

Not that defense shouldn't always be a priority, but with TP out, it has to go up another level. Tonight has been great. Can't afford anymore lapses

[TDfan2007]

Timmy looks great tonight.

[TDfan2007]

Aside from that one fast break, Kawhi has shown great maturity and decision making tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

damn

[ElNono]

damn neal

[HI-FI]

take frigin neal out, put in Nando.

[BatManu20]

Dammit..

[superjames1992]

GET GARY NEAL OUT OF THERE. NOW!!!

I can't take it anymore.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

No one's fault, just an accident

[ElNono]

thanks Mayo

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

way too easy for wright

[ElNono]

timmy

[bklynspursfan]

Gotta be at least the 5th time tonight Jack was open in the corner and Neal so focused on shooting missed him, leaving Jack with his hands like "im open"

[Spurs Brazil]

TD dominating

[BatManu20]

Neal can't stay on his feet

[ElNono]

Tim sits... (trembles)

[JingleJangleJingle]

here comes the mavs run

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

No Blair, that was close

[ElNono]

At least Pop puts Tiago... that's good

[JingleJangleJingle]

sigh Ginobili use to be automatic.

[Spurs Brazil]

pathetic ref

[ElNono]

wow, bad call...

[HI-FI]

great D , refs are a joke per par.

[BatManu20]

Dirk getting the Durant treatment

[JingleJangleJingle]

it's not 2006...

[ElNono]

Neal bailed out... i'll take it

[BatManu20]

Neal with the insane amount of up-fakes

[superjames1992]

Gary got bailed out, per par.

Pop needs to pull him. Where is Nando???

[Pop]

Boris is playing some great D imo.

[JingleJangleJingle]

Boris is playing some great D imo.

doesn't he always play Dirk well?

[ElNono]

we found the Dirk stopper when Dallas sucks

[BatManu20]

4th qtr. Time to bring it on home.

[The Whopper]

If I see Gary Neal, I will punch him squarely in his testicles.

[spursparker9]

lol truth is current Dirk sucks as much as current Dallas sucks

[ElNono]

rest did good to tim

[Sportstudi]

Dirk getting the Durant treatment

And the fouls on Brand and a few seconds later on Jones (against Manu) were correct? Yeah, sure...

[Tim_duncan21]

nice. TD having good numbers

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal 333333333333333333333333333

[spursparker9]

Will NDC play?

[Splits]

If I see Gary Neal, I will punch him squarely in his testicles.

Missed your chance at SXSW yesterday. Mills, Stak5, Patty all there too, jamming with fans

Edit: meant CoJo. Bonner bros there too

[HI-FI]

Pop is fucking hilarious.

[BatManu20]

Spurs letting em hang around

[superjames1992]

Gary is getting schooled on D, tbh.

[Brazil]

Execution in the fourth dear god

[ElNono]

Collison running a train on gary

[ElNono]

that was a good play

[bklynspursfan]

Refs did not want to give splitter that call lol

[Brazil]

Neal needs to go to the bench

[ElNono]

wide open.. that's green's guy

[Brazil]

Pop is pissed but this run is on him

[superjames1992]

Neal is single-handily losing this game, tbh.

[ElNono]

come on grab a board

[BatManu20]

It's crazy how much worse this team is without Duncan in the game.

[ElNono]

turnobili smh

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Ginobili what the fuck are you doing

[Spurs Brazil]

Bench with a terrible game

[HI-FI]

well least Ginobili is still creating turnovers, that part of his game hasn't been affected by father time.

[superjames1992]

It would be cool to have one of our real point guards ... you know, Cojo or Nando ... in the game at all times. But CIA Pop wants this abortion ball, apparently.

[Tim_duncan21]

Duncan-Splitter frontcourt posting good rebound numbers

[Brunodf]

Put Kawhi in for Neal!!

[The Whopper]

Our bench should dine on a postgame buffet of dishes comprised from the corn of my shite.

[superjames1992]

Manu with 7 assists so far tonight. :toast

[Spursnlego]

We need Tony back ASAP

[The Whopper]

Manu with 7 assists so far tonight. :toast

Do they count as assists if the other team scores?

[TDfan2007]

Mavs are heating up. They're playing hard and playing with confidence. Our guys need to step up the execution, or this could be an epic loss.

[ElNono]

we've been scoring...we just can't defend for shit... Neal being transparent on that end doesn't help... missing rotations everywhere too

[HI-FI]

what the fuck is this commercial....

[superjames1992]

This NBA Latina commercial is cringe-worthy, tbh.

[ElNono]

damn Manu got cockblocked

[ElNono]

Tim-Kawhi back in

[ManuTastic]

Unbelievable that Neal is back in. Fuck you pop.

[superjames1992]

Gary Neal comes in and we get a turnover. WTF, CIA Pop?

[HI-FI]

Manu is playing like he's at the local Mexican YMCA. hopefully he will get his :cryrhythm back.

[BatManu20]

Horrible pass by Diaw..

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Diaw cmon

[ElNono]

Manu is playing like he's at the local Mexican YMCA. hopefully he will get his :cryrhythm back.

he's on the bench now

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal 3333333333333333

[KaiRMD1]

Damn, what is up with the Spurs?

[superjames1992]

he's on the bench now
The haters blame him for everything, even when he's injured.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Neal making us forget that he played horrible all game

[Tim_duncan21]

nice. Kahwi and TD's back

[ElNono]

That last Dirk 3 was all on Neal.... he gets beat off the dribble and everybody goes in to help... ---> Dirk wide open

[$pursDynasty]

this is the ugliest game I have seen in a while, then again I didn't get to see the blowout last friday. we need a real PG in the game b/c Neal is a 2 and Manu appears to have lost the ability to run the offense.

[Brunodf]

Neal making us forget that he played horrible all game
:lolGood one

[Tim_duncan21]

I just noticed. Diaw has 6 FGA. lol

[TDfan2007]

Spurs just look awful defensively right now. They've just been so inconsistent all night.

[The Whopper]

As much as I love Manu, boy is he a disaster... I don't know if we can go to war with him anymore.

[superjames1992]

As much as I love Manu, boy is he a disaster... I don't know if we can go to war with him anymore.
He's not even on the court. :lol

[Tim_duncan21]

I hope we can sign Manu significantly less

[TDfan2007]

He's not even on the court. :lol

He's mediocre when he's on it though.

[Budkin]

There are so many games this team just can't stay consistent.

[JingleJangleJingle]

lol OJ Mayo

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal again!

[ElNono]

He's mediocre when he's on it though.

7 assists is mediocre? He only took 7 shots (Neal took 12)... not sure what people are expecting...

[$pursDynasty]

I was going to say Neal Heroball BUT that is just Gary being Gary

[Spurs Brazil]

Tim Duncan!!!

[ElNono]

TD doing it on both ends

[superjames1992]

I hate this for the Spurs. CIA Pop will remember the fourth quarter and, thus, the Hero will get the backup PG position for the Playoffs. SMH. This team isn't going past the WCF with the Hero running the backup point, tbh.

[crc21209]

Damn how many timeouts does Dallas have? Shit...

[Pop]

IS Neal stealing back the backup PG position before our eyes?

[ElNono]

Diaw passes a wide open shot to Leonard who's cornered

[TDfan2007]

7 assists is mediocre? He only took 7 shots (Neal took 12)... not sure what people are expecting...

I expect him to be more aggressive and make better decisions. He looks like he's just drifting half the time out there.

[Spurs Brazil]

Duncan and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

IS Neal stealing back the backup PG position before our eyes?

he never lost it

[Johnsyounger]

Timmy

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

All hail Timmay

[superjames1992]

I expect him to be more aggressive and make better decisions. He looks like he's just drifting half the time out there.
Wait 'till the Playoffs. He's been coasting all season, tbh.

[Uriel]

25 and 18 :wow

[ElNono]

I expect him to be more aggressive and make better decisions. He looks like he's just drifting half the time out there.

By drifting you mean passing the ball and letting Neal/Green chuck away? :lol

[Brazil]

Huge game from Tim nice to see him like that

[The Whopper]

Ruling the world! Timmy!

[DAF86]

Here comes Suckobili.

[Nathan89]

I'm gonna need a gif of that reaction tbh

[ElNono]

This game is all on Tim... beast, tbh

[Brazil]

Mike James really?

[EVAY]

Been gone all night and just got into the game. I notice that Manu has 7 assists but continues to struggle in the scoring area. Diaw is shooting 80% but not shooting very much. No difference there than most games. Anything in particular standing out to you guys tonight except Duncan looking like he wants to put the team on his back again, thankfully?

[superjames1992]

CIA Pop with the no-PG lineup of Manu/Green/Leonard/Duncan/Splitter, tbh.

[ElNono]

thats a foul

[EVAY]

I gotta tell you I'm always happy to see the ball in Manu's hands at this point in a game.

[ElNono]

tim beasting... not much else

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I really hope Ginobili finishes this game strong

[JingleJangleJingle]

mayo always make the wrong play down the stretch

[ElNono]

damn Kawhi

[EVAY]

tim beasting... not much else

Thanks.

[Uriel]

CIA Pop with the no-PG lineup of Manu/Green/Leonard/Duncan/Splitter, tbh.
Manu as a de facto PG in the closing minutes isn't a bad option, tbh.

[Tim_duncan21]

TD!!!

[ElNono]

there it is

[Spurs Brazil]

Kawhi 3333333333333333333333333333333

[superjames1992]

Manu!!!!!!!!! :wow

[HI-FI]

gino deserved props for det.

[The Whopper]

Kawhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!

[BatManu20]

Finally a 3!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Ginobili made a nice play there

[Budkin]

Fuck yeah Manu... just when everyone was trashing him.

[superjames1992]

9 assists for Manu. Haters, go back to the closet you came from.

[EVAY]

That's why I always like to see the ball in Manu's hands at the end of a game. Yes!!

[Chinook]

Oh, so you can make threes when Manu passes you the ball, huh, Leonard?

[bklynspursfan]

Seems everytime Tim has a big game we lose. Wrapping this up would be sweet. Hope he can get 30/20

[The Whopper]

Poor Manu. Anybody can blaze him now. Luckily he can still do THAT.

[TheSkeptic]

Been gone all night and just got into the game. I notice that Manu has 7 assists but continues to struggle in the scoring area. Diaw is shooting 80% but not shooting very much. No difference there than most games. Anything in particular standing out to you guys tonight except Duncan looking like he wants to put the team on his back again, thankfully?

I think something must be done about our bench. They keep sucking up the momentum and Manu/Diaw need more help with the second unit. Pop needs to change that.

[pgardn]

Here comes Suckobili.

Finding another man wide open...

[ElNono]

I think something must be done about our bench. They keep sucking up the momentum and Manu/Diaw need more help with the second unit. I think Pop needs to do something.

He could start by sending Blair to the Toros, tbh

[crc21209]

Tim has looked AWESOME tonight. 28 and 19 so far...:tu

[Tim_duncan21]

I think I'm seeing a 30-20 night from Duncan

[bklynspursfan]

I think I'm seeing a 30-20 night from Duncan

Hopefully it comes off a put back dunk :)

[The Whopper]

Who's this Duncan dude? He's pretty good.

[Kyl3]

Timmy looks real young tonight

[ElNono]

Kawhi getting all the 3s... gotta knock em down

[BatManu20]

Spurs just love keeping games close.

[EVAY]

Now Manu needs to get some foul shots and MAKE them

[TheSkeptic]

He could start by sending Blair to the Toros, tbh

:lol I could get behind that.

Bad decision by Splitter.

[Brazil]

The fuck Tiago??

[Spurs Brazil]

damn Green. SHOOT

[ElNono]

wtf is green doing????

[superjames1992]

OMG, Green. Come on...

[BatManu20]

Green you idiot

[The Whopper]

Shitshow.

[EVAY]

Bad offensive set

[Uriel]

Son of a bitch. :pctoss

[Brazil]

Manu deferring to green :lol

[HI-FI]

fucking Green. this game has a playoff feel, probably why he did that.

[Brazil]

Good d TiagoTiago

[DatBoyGood]

wow

[ElNono]

shit

[Spurs Brazil]

damn Manu, attact this shit

[Uriel]

Oh my God.

[bklynspursfan]

We just lost this game.

[ElNono]

Manu deferring to green :lol

he was wide open!

[Quiet Strength]

uh oh

[KaiRMD1]

*grumble*

[JingleJangleJingle]

lol we lost unbelievable we can't beat lottery teams anymore lol

[Brazil]

Manu unclutch

[superjames1992]

C'mon, Manu, you obviously can't shoot tonight. Distribute.

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck.

[HI-FI]

well least we got to watch that awesome Noche Latina commercial.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

We're gonna regret riding Ginobili every close game, especially when Duncan has 28 points

[SpurSwag]

Mavs are taking this one on a Vince game winner. Book it

[BatManu20]

Welp. No one to blame but ourselves.

[Chinook]

fucking Green. this game has a playoff feel, probably why he did that.

Did what? He passed the ball to Duncan, who didn't know what was going on with the shot clock. The possession before, he played good defense on Dirk.

[loveforthegame]

Manu. :td

[Brazil]

he was wide open!

Not really tbh

[bklynspursfan]

Telling you, everytime Tim has a big game we lose.

[KaiRMD1]

Is Parker REALLY that important? System? Yeah right.

[FromWayDowntown]

This is an abysmal close.

[Tim_duncan21]

F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pgardn]

Lets get the defensive group on the floor.

[spursparker9]

calling VC or Mayo with the game winner

[DAF86]

Suckobili with the unnecesary fade away when he was wide open.

[Brazil]

This is an abysmal close.
Like always

[$pursDynasty]

Mavs miss, Tim gets rebound game over callin it in advance

[KaiRMD1]

We lose this game, Spurs deserve an lol thread

[Floyd Pacquiao]

smh offense all night has been shit except for tim

[EVAY]

Anybody still think we don't miss Parker? Even if we somehow win, we still miss Parker

[ElNono]

Lets get the defensive group on the floor.

that's the defensive group

[Budkin]

Ugh... why Spurs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FTM

[ElNono]

drop the razors bitches

[Brazil]

Thank you splitter

[EVAY]

Thank god.

[BatManu20]

Jesus

[superjames1992]

Manu with the clutch rebound, tbh. Spurs win!

[$pursDynasty]

we won what's up with Pop takin Tim out and puttin Diaw in?

[Spurs Brazil]

Thanks Tim Duncan

[KaiRMD1]

I cannot believe we had to "hold on" against a sub par team.

[The Whopper]

Yay, we win. Congrats, or something...

[Budkin]

THANK FUCKING GOD!!!

[Quiet Strength]

Wow my heart is about to burst out of my chest.. ugly win but i'll take it

[pgardn]

that's the defensive group
Yep.

More mobile.

Except for Manu. I thought we might see Cory.

[ElNono]

clinched a playoff spot to boot

[Budkin]

That was another "moral loss" as timvp would say.

[Uriel]

That was close.

[JingleJangleJingle]

50 win!!

[HI-FI]

crofl

i think that might have been a moral loss, but i'll take it.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Tim Duncan is an old beast!

Thank you, Braced God!

[Brazil]

Manu with the clutch rebound, tbh. Spurs win!

:lol more like Tiago doing a good job against a perimeter player

[ElNono]

no moral losses without Tony, tbh

[BatManu20]

Timmy won us this game.

[bklynspursfan]

Heart still pounding. Thought for sure that would go in.

[loveforthegame]

Ugly win. We'll take it but they have to play better.

[Tim_duncan21]

we won what's up with Pop takin Tim out and puttin Diaw in?

CIA pop? lol

[pgardn]

crofl

i think that might have been a moral loss, but i'll take it.


BS.

No Parker. I'll take it. Good D at the end.

[KaiRMD1]

What's up with everytime Tim Duncan shows emotion, he puts his head down like he's in trouble

[Spurs Brazil]

no moral losses without Tony, tbh

this

[Brunodf]

:chestbump

[jesterbobman]

The Spurs play in his absence is not discrediting Parker's MVP campaign.

[Tim_duncan21]

50 wins! alright!

[Budkin]

Can't fucking wait until TP comes back. This game shouldn't have been anywhere near this close.

[playbonner15]

Still expecting 'lol Spurs thread' somewhere..

[pgardn]

The Mavs will make the playoffs if they keep playing this well.
They had won 4 straight.

Utah is gone imo.

[Chieflion]

My heart was gonna come out when Carter did that crossover on Splitter. Thankfully, the ball went a little bit to the far right side. Hooray for clinching a spot in the playoffs.

[Darius McCrary]

Glad w won but it seems like someone flipped a switch and all a sudden DIAW is the bright spot of the bench and every other bench player totally utterly sucks. Just my two cents.

[The Whopper]

If you had a team with Dirk Nowittzki, would you draw up a final one on one three for like anyone else in NBA history? Not just Vince. Like anyone who ever played?

[pgardn]

My heart was gonna come out when Carter did that crossover on Splitter. Thankfully, the ball went a little bit to the far right side. Hooray for clinching a spot in the playoffs.

Splitter made him sky that shot. He has made those before, but Tiago made it alot tougher.

[Brunodf]

Timmy singlehandedly won this game

[EVAY]

The Spurs play in his absence is not discrediting Parker's MVP campaign.

Fact.

[TDfan2007]

Why in the hell did the Spurs refuse to go to Timmy in an iso towards the end there? He was the only guy shooting well besides Diaw. Sometimes I don't understand Pop.

[Chieflion]

I hated how Carter got to the spot where he wanted so easily, but I'll take any win. That was scary.

[timtonymanu]

Just got back from work. Was this a victory that felt like a loss kinda game?

[pgardn]

The Spurs play in his absence is not discrediting Parker's MVP campaign.

Get to see more of Leonard ball in hand though. And it has taught me a good bit about under rating his ability with the ball.
