2014 Playoffs - Round 1, Game 1 - Dallas Mavericks @ San Antonio Spurs

[313]

Good thing Tony's shots been falling or this would be ugly

[smaka]

Enrique looking really good, btw.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Enrique never looked so good... :tu

Manutards are awfully quiet tbh :lmao

I'm looking at you superjames1992, gino step, no lyfe scrub

[RD2191]

This is too easy.

Shutup.

[ElNono]

as expected, long rotation for the Spurs

[Splits]

:lol Devin Harris keep chucking those jumpers

[RD2191]

Spurs pulling a Grizz.

[BatManu20]

Blair checks in, Pop immediately calls timeout to calm the troops.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Good thing Tony's shots been falling or this would be ugly

He's shooting layups.... It's not like he's surviving on jump shots.

[Cry Havoc]

"Why'd you call a timeout, I had Blair on me! That guy can't guard a pop-tart!" - Parker

[wut]

I kinda had the feeling Parker was holding back for the playoffs...let's just hope he has the stamina to keep it going without injury; dude has been playing way too long without a break.

[superjames1992]

If Dirk wasn't bricking, this would be closer. Props to Tiago.

[szkorhetz]

Dallas switch everything just like OKC will do it, good preparation.

[Eruff24]

Good thing Tony's shots been falling or this would be ugly

You live in the D?

[Cry Havoc]

I kinda had the feeling Parker was holding back for the playoffs...let's just hope he has the stamina to keep it going without injury; dude has been playing way too long without a break.

He got a couple weeks off during the season.

[DPG21920]

Man, that crawfish commercial from HEB is brutal.

[Beaverfuzz]

If Dallas made all of their shots, they'd be winning this game.


If the Spurs had missed all of their shots, they'd have zero points.

[313]

He's shooting layups.... It's not like he's surviving on jump shots.Sorry, I meant more like good thing Tony's playing well because no one else is looking too hot.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

I kinda had the feeling Parker was holding back for the playoffs...let's just hope he has the stamina to keep it going without injury; dude has been playing way too long without a break.

You mean except for the 3 week break he got from Pop specifically to keep him fresh for the playoffs?

[superjames1992]

Manutards are awfully quiet tbh :lmao

I'm looking at you superjames1992, gino step, no lyfe scrub

Hi.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Hi.

Let's hear something nice about Enrique, tbh..

[ElNono]

wow Manu

[313]

You live in the D?

Yeah

[TheGoldStandard]

Spurs look like they're tuned up for this.. Love it

[$pursDynasty]

Tony back to MVParker form, maybe he has been saving it for the playoffs?

[Darius Bieber]

LOL every fan at OKC's arena was wearing blue..... A lot of Spurs fans not wearing the free black shirt.. :lol:lmao

[313]

Beautiful pass by manu

[Beaverfuzz]

All day long Boris

[DPG21920]

Monta V Beli is bad news

[RD2191]

Lol marco d

[TheGoldStandard]

Oh god no.. Bonner ready to check in

[superjames1992]

Let's hear something nice about Enrique, tbh..

He is abusing them when they switch on him. Per par tbh.

[Beaverfuzz]

T up Carter! That said the young Carter would have dunked that shit with authority.

[313]

Diaw 2.0

[ElNono]

keep shooting Devin :lol

[Raven]

#playDayeTbh

[BatManu20]

Wow Timmy

[superjames1992]

Timmy missing layups like it's late in game 7. :cry

[DatBoyGood]

DUNK THAT

[ElNono]

damn timmy

[TheGoldStandard]

Dang it Duncan.. Drop that shit

[Eruff24]

Yeah

6 mile Greenfield area here

[Beaverfuzz]

good effort Patty, that shit will fall the next time.

[TheGoldStandard]

Lol, holding Dallas to 12 in the quarter

[ElNono]

welp solid D

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol timmy

[Eruff24]

Good start to the Nba Playoffs

[Mal]

Ok, Duncan missed his only bunny in this playoffs already

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop better not start screwing with lineups to let Dallas into this game.

[Splits]

keep shooting Devin :lol

:cry bad timing

[polandprzem]

Big Fundamentalist !


:lmao

[Uriel]

Between Duncan's missed layup and Harris' 3, we could've been up 14.

[loveforthegame]

Solid first quarter. :tu

[Juggity]

GREAT defensive quarter. Holding one of the best offensive teams in the league to 12 pts.

[ElNono]

:cry bad timing

:lol he's 1-5... I'll take it every game

[timtonymanu]

We aren't up by 20. 1st round exit.

[MI21]

Good defense, Dallas missed a few easy ones but overall the D was solid.

Timmy missed layup followed by Harris 3 really annoyed me.

Spurs need to attack these mismatches following Dallas switches with more aggressiveness.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Were my eyes deceiving me or did I see Pop pull Matt Bonner off the bench?

[playbonner15]

Time for Red Rocket ! :downspin:

[MI21]

For those watching on League Pass Broadband, how sick are you of the Pacers annoying jizzing himself over the Paul George dunk, tbh

[TheGoldStandard]

Were my eyes deceiving me or did I see Pop pull Matt Bonner off the bench?

Tiago was up, then they went with Bonner and then he realized, oh shit Tim Duncan is out there.. I better stop

[DapDaGenius]

Damn it, Marco.

[ElNono]

come on belli

[RD2191]

Marco is done

[BatManu20]

Damn we cant hit an open jumper

[smaka]

For those watching on League Pass Broadband, how sick are you of the Pacers annoying jizzing himself over the Paul George dunk, tbh

OOOOOOOOOH MAAAAAAAAN
My speakers almost explode everytime he yells this shit

[Raven]

cancernelli

[DPG21920]

:lol Marco is done? He's had a rough start, but it's the first half.

[RD2191]

Lol Chuck Mills

[Beaverfuzz]

Not the time to shoot that Patty. Run the offense.

[DapDaGenius]

LOL Didn't Wright do like 5 of those the last time we played them?

[RD2191]

Bench defense sucking dick on D per par

[DPG21920]

Harris and Wright have developed a nice chemistry. They run that oop play several times a game.

[Raven]

manu is playing all star D right now.. completely nullified by The Cancer

[ElNono]

gotta make shots

[TheGoldStandard]

2nd unit shitting the bed

[Muser]

Spurs dominating in the paint, freezing cold from 3. Let's shoot more 3's then!

[BatManu20]

Smh Marco...

[ElNono]

we're missing easy shit

[MI21]

OOOOOOOOOH MAAAAAAAAN
My speakers almost explode everytime he yells this shit

I fucking hate it. I just had to turn my TV down as it is 1:45AM in Australia and I don't want my wife to wonder wtf I'm watching with those noises.

[TheGoldStandard]

Let's get green and kawhi back in

[DapDaGenius]

Mavs heating up as we play like the Toros.

[DPG21920]

:lmao Devin Harris hitting 3's

[RD2191]

Rofl, same shit all year. Smh.

[ElNono]

Devin shutting me up :(

[Raven]

per par tbh

[Darius Bieber]

lol Spurs

[loveforthegame]

Harris killing it now.

Bench needs to wake up.

[timtonymanu]

Bench with a horrid start.

[Beaverfuzz]

Why the Spurs went away from going inside is beyond me. Time to bring back the starters.

[superjames1992]

Bench folding in the playoffs per par.

[Uriel]

WTF.

[TheGoldStandard]

Don't go under screens.. lol.. they want to take jump shots. You have Tiago out there who's supposedly a great defender too

[Hoops Czar]

Bench getting destroyed defensively per par.

[spursparker9]

All started after Duncan missed that lay-up

[313]

6 mile Greenfield area hereasbury park and schoolcraft here :toast

[crc21209]

Spurs bench with a letdown so far..

[Splits]

Is it too late to tank for Wiggins?

[Malik Hairston]

Devin Harris is one of the worst offensive players in the league, tbh, he won't sustain this..

It would be nice if Belinelli remembered how to make shots, tbh..

[japre8]

Ugh, bench crapping the bed early. Let Dallas right back into it.

[TheGoldStandard]

This is playoff basketball, not a regular season game, gotta give your starters more minutes..

[ElNono]

Harris is a 30% 3 point shooter this year... you gotta give him that

[Chinook]

Why the Spurs went away from going inside is beyond me. Time to bring back the starters.

It's not rocket science. Parker was the one scoring in the paint. Duncan did a little as well. Mills is not a penetrator.

[Cry Havoc]

Fuck Devin Harris.

[DPG21920]

Dallas switching everything has really, really stifled the ball movement. There is not nearly as much flow, player or ball movement and the offense has suffered. Great decision by RC to not panic because with TP/Kawhi out, he knows that switching will do what it's intended to do if guys like Manu/Beli/Patty aren't going to make shots. They aren't as good as TP at getting into the lane on those switches.

Spurs can overcome that by playing through Boris more IMO - put him in the same spots as Kawhi and let him create while spacing the floor as much as possible. Have to make 3's though to loosen up this defense.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Marco's taken 2 shots and one of them went in and out. :cry he's done :cry

[BatManu20]

Spurs were dominating when we were posting up Timmy and Boris. Then we started chucking and it al went downhill

[RD2191]

Bench is overrated.

[Hoops Czar]

:lmao Devin Harris hitting 3's


That's wahat happens when Nea..., I mean Mills gets lost on the play leaving Harris wide open.

[Johnny RIngo]

Bellinelli predictably playing like shit

[Beaverfuzz]

Jesus Spurs, TAKE THE BALL INSIDE!

[MI21]

Momentum stifled by Timmy's missed layup, tbh.. that shit is always deflating.

Mills has been awful on defense, Harris is putting the same move him and he is getting caught on his heels each time.

[loveforthegame]

:lol

[Raven]

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[BatManu20]

Devin Harris is smoking Patty

[DapDaGenius]

Bout time we made a 3

[Mal]

0-15 run, wtf

[ElNono]

Manuuuuuu

[RD2191]

But but CoJo kills us:cry:cry

[superjames1992]

Mills is being abused by Harris.

[japre8]

Good lord our best perimeter defenders are sitting on the bench, Harris is mouth raping patty.

[Mal]

Enough of Craig Sager...

[TheGoldStandard]

Great defense Tiago

[Cry Havoc]

Dallas switching everything has really, really stifled the ball movement. There is not nearly as much flow, player or ball movement and the offense has suffered.

Pfff. No. If we were better than 1-11 outside the paint we'd be torching the Mavs with those WIDE OPEN looks we've been getting all game.

[313]

Manuuuuu

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice flat-footed defense Splitter.

[Raven]

belinelli + patty = no D.

[RD2191]

Lol

[DPG21920]

Pfff. No. If we were better than 1-11 outside the 3 point line we'd be torching the Mavs with those WIDE OPEN looks we've been getting all game.

Gr8 analysis.

[ontheraise]

whithout tony sa can t score wtf

[Beaverfuzz]

Enough of Craig Sager...

Fuck you

[smaka]

Wtf Tiago

[TheGoldStandard]

Parker in and instant offense

[ontheraise]

no one on the Spurstalk chatroom??

[BanditHiro]

these fuckers don't miss

[313]

MVPARKER

[RD2191]

Rofl Spurs

[TheGoldStandard]

WTF Danny stay with your man.. don't play in the paint for no reason

[DapDaGenius]

Damn, Dallas has been making everything for a bit.

[BatManu20]

Mavs role players are hitting shots. That's the difference.

[loveforthegame]

Green fell asleep.

Parker continues to carve it up.

[ElNono]

welp... there's that

[$pursDynasty]

Tony and Timmy are the only guys that have shown up on offense

[crc21209]

Seriously, stop letting scrub Harris create plays...

[RD2191]

Houston licking their chops.

[superjames1992]

Does Dallas have anyone thay can guard Enrique?

[313]

They're not missing lol

[Uriel]

I wish Craig Sager the best and all. But this over-the-top TNT coverage of him is really starting to eclipse the game itself.

[313]

Tony and Timmy are the only guys that have shown up on offense

[TheGoldStandard]

So what we have learned so far.. Pop still thinks this is a regular season game.. Play your starters playoff minutes

[MI21]

I hope this performance doesn't shake Patty's confidence early for the entire playoffs... he has been fucking abused and is basically responsible for Dallas getting back into the game.

[$pursDynasty]

Parker in and instant offense
for al the respect he gets on this board, yep instant and only offense so far

[Baam]

Lol Beli and Mills getting owned per par...

[DPG21920]

Spurs are getting some good looks from 3, but everything is a little bit spaced tighter and slower to get to the shooters. Still have to make them but it should open up some with TP carving them up.

[Holden_Caulfield]

i blinked and dallas is up? wtf :bang

[timtonymanu]

Patty's below average D was always going to be his biggest flaw. Hopefully he finds confidence again.

Marco, I have no words for.

[Mal]

Maybe it`s time for some stops and little run

[Uriel]

So what we have learned so far.. Pop still thinks this is a regular season game.. Play your starters playoff minutes
These are his starters' playoff minutes...

[TE]

This defense is a joke. It seems like the second group gets lit up more than anything. Harris is no longer what Hesse to be and somehow he looks like he did in 2005-07, executing the pick and roll...fuckin' embarrassing.

[ElNono]

Patty will adjust... can't draw conclusions from a 10 min stretch...

[RD2191]

Been calling it all year, tbh.

[Beaverfuzz]

no one on the Spurstalk chatroom??


No

[Splits]

Besides the two Wright oops, everything from dem Mavs coming from outside. Not sustainable

[superjames1992]

Bonner to check in. :lol

[Beaverfuzz]

THROW IT DOWN BIG MAN!

[Death In June]

Stop shooting threes?

[loveforthegame]

More of that Leonard!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Matt Bonner is not the answer

[smaka]

:lol Spurs fans melting down already

[TheGoldStandard]

Leonard afraid to take it inside.. jacking up 3's

[loveforthegame]

Matt Bonner is not the answer

[BatManu20]

That wasn't a foul tbh

[BanditHiro]

bonner?

[DapDaGenius]

...fuck....Bonner's in....

[Johnny RIngo]

Marco, I have no words for.

Marco has always been a shitty player though. No different than Gary Neal really.

[TheGoldStandard]

Marion is about to go off

[RD2191]

Bonner? Rofl Pop

[Splits]

Bon Bon!

[playbonner15]

REd Rocket!

[Cry Havoc]

Oh my god, Bonner in game 1. The shit is already hitting the fan.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[TheGoldStandard]

Again, Pop taking this game like a regular season game.. Could be his undoing

[DatBoyGood]

Everytime Parker goes flying on the floor I get nervous...

[Hoops Czar]

Lol, Bonner will never see the light of day in the playoffs... oh wait

[ElNono]

Danny has been invisible this game

[TheGoldStandard]

Piss poor spacing

[Cherry]

Matt Bonner in. We are saved

[MI21]

I wish Timmy would try some moves with less dribbles and going at the rim on these mismatches

[Death In June]

Bonner???

[weeks]

"his first shot outside the paint" no it's not you fucking clowns

[313]

Where was the foul lol

[TE]

I mean, shit.

[RD2191]

Lol same ol garbage defense.

[szkorhetz]

Matty who?

[Raven]

honestly, timmy is not contesting shots as he should

[BatManu20]

We look shitty tbh. We'll be fine, but I thought we'd come out a lot more motivated than this

[BanditHiro]

lol Bonner omg we are going to get 8

[Darius Bieber]

LOL just wait and see. Dallas is just off to a slow start.


:wakeup

[japre8]

F'ing shots look terrible today. Seems like everyone of em are hitting the front of the rim.

[BatManu20]

"his first shot outside the paint" no it's not you fucking clowns

I know, Reggie keeps saying that but he's an idiot

[timtonymanu]

Oh my god, Bonner in game 1. The shit is already hitting the fan.

You can thank Errors and Baynes for being so shitty in the regular season.

[ontheraise]

make this mark cuban btch cry for god sake

[Hoops Czar]

They're scoring every possession

[TheGoldStandard]

No interior presence to stop penetration.. Remember how Tiago was supposed to help with that.. useless in this game.

[Malik Hairston]

Why do they keep going over the screen on Ellis, tbh?..

He's not a good shooter + you're giving him room for a burst of speed to get to the rim, which is obviously his strength as a player..

[313]

Lol spurrefs

[wut]

I'm kinda confused...did we sit Bonner all year long to rest him for the playoffs? If so... :nutkick:

[TE]

They're scoring every possession
If they aren't missing, the corpse of Marion is cleaning up around the rim. It's very worrisome tbh

[dbreiden83080]

Fucking ball is not moving just 1 on 1 play..

[RD2191]

So where is that top ranked defense and the killer bench? Tbh. How's that backup PG doing?:wakeup

[TheGoldStandard]

Why do they keep going over the screen on Ellis, tbh?..

Stupid defensive strategy.

[Johnny RIngo]

You can thank Errors and Baynes for being so shitty in the regular season.

6 mil combined for Ayres and Bonner. Still idiotic to give that kind of money to two players that clearly don't belong in the NBA.

[Splits]

Need a strong close to the half, 8-0 run would be nice

[ElNono]

we're fine... just need to tighten the D a bit... timmy is changing shots, but we gotta box out and grab the rebound... it's just incredibly more difficult to do when Bonner is out there...

[rasho8]

Pop was keeping Bonner fresh and on ice to unleash the red rocket during the playoffs.

[TheGoldStandard]

6 mil combined for Ayres and Bonner. Still idiotic to give that kind of money to two players that clearly don't belong in the NBA.

10 to Tiago

[Beaverfuzz]

Need just one three to fall and then things open up (besides Manu's shot that tied it at 24)

[DPG21920]

Great call from the posters who know Pop saying he would go to Bonner.

[TE]

Fucking ball is not moving just 1 on 1 play..
Yep...I mean are they intentionally being stupid? Did they forget what got them all those wins? Move the fucking ball, get some motion and stop ball stalling.

[MI21]

There is absolutely zero reason for Bonner to see the floor when you have a well rested Boris Diaw sitting there... Pop always saves his dumbest shit for the PO's.

[Splits]

we're fine... just need to tighten the D a bit... timmy is changing shots, but we gotta box out and grab the rebound... it's just incredibly more difficult to do when Bonner is out there...

They only have 1 O board and it was Tim tipping it own goal

[Beaverfuzz]

DEFENSE!

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Spurs seem bored

[Uriel]

We're playing way too much one-on-one right now. The switching of screens has generally allowed a field day for Parker, hence the Spurs' fast start. But by the time the bench came in, that unit, whose entire offense is predicated on ball movement itself, was really stifled. That, coupled with the Mavs jump shots beginning to fall, has allowed Dallas to take control of this game.

[Beaverfuzz]

where is the fucking boxing out? Christ.

[Sean Cagney]

we're fine... just need to tighten the D a bit... timmy is changing shots, but we gotta box out and grab the rebound... it's just incredibly more difficult to do when Bonner is out there...
BONNER SMH... Pop is at it again.

[Mal]

Where is that bench ? Where is that depth ?

[ontheraise]

fast start ist god for spurs they're use to fall asleep adter fast start

[Darius Bieber]

LOL Dallas leading the Spurs with Dirk only 1/5 from the field

[Uriel]

Samuel Dalembert is one ugly dude.

[Sean Cagney]

Spurs seem bored

They better not be bored soon.

[Mav-elous Man]

Offensively, the Mavs are no slouch. But we just don't have what it takes defensively to win this series and there are too many stretches where we get careless with the ball. Not to mention we can't protect leads to save our lives. Nonetheless, go Mavs.

[ontheraise]

where are tp hater s whithout him will be down by 15

[313]

Tony carrying the Spurs with a sore back. :lol

[RD2191]

Lol

[TheGoldStandard]

Lazy ass diaw

[BatManu20]

Diaw scrubbing it up. We just need to wake up at halftime. We'll be alright.

[ElNono]

Boris gotta make that

[ontheraise]

we need to put some 3s in and fucking move that ball

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Dirk is a God....Him and Timmy are probably the two most over looked players of this generation. They get acknowledgment but fans have missed out on two treats...

[Sean Cagney]

we need to put some 3s in and fucking move that ball

^^ This would be nice.

[dbreiden83080]

Move the fucking ball!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Diaw has been a non factor for a while now. He needs to bring back Diaw 2.0.

[crc21209]

Diaw's missed alot of the shots he usually makes the last few weeks or so...

[BatManu20]

Manuuuuuu

[Beaverfuzz]

MANU!!!

[superjames1992]

MANUUUUUUUI

[MeloHype]

Manu333

[ElNono]

Manu saving the bacon per par

[playbonner15]

Matty in and we take the lead:wakeup
