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

[smaka]

Fuck Harris, piece of shit

[superjames1992]

Boris 0.5

[daslicer]

I called it all year, terrible offense and defense. You guys just laughed at me. How does my ass taste? Tbh.

Sounds like a woman who enjoys being in an abusive relationship.

[spurspokesman]

Spurs gonna have to gut this one out

[TE]

I called it all year, terrible offense and defense. You guys just laughed at me. How does my ass taste? Tbh.
:lol Dude honestly I'll eat crow if you're right tbh

[Otaku]

Spurs are fine, they will just play the last 4 minutes of the 4th quarter. That's enough to beat the Mavs. Don't need to waste energy.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

This is concerning tbh.. We look like the Lakers Game last week.
wtf is going on

[DBMethos]

Shit game. Dallas...really?

[BatManu20]

Fuck nigga Harris got a confidence boost by +10 by seeing Duncan go down.

No, he got it when he was Patty Mills was guarding him tbh

[playbonner15]

Regular season champs :lobt2:

[TheGoldStandard]

I remember Tony Atlas slapping Michael Moore in the corner when he was facing Holyfield... Seems like Pop needs to do that to some of these bench players

[ElNono]

This is concerning tbh.. We look like the Lakers Game last week.
wtf is going on

coasting

[Baam]

They're trying to wear out TP by attacking him on D and making beat them on O so no choice but too go to Mills... That off-season really sucked...

[mclinejr]

How about we take this one game at a time, instead of saying, "Well, it was a good run," or, "I've said that we suck all year." Chill out.

[DapDaGenius]

[mclinejr]

coasting

[superjames1992]

Smallball.

[Raven]

not him again...

[Mal]

Beli...

[BatManu20]

Duncan heading to the locker room

[loveforthegame]

Embarrassing.

[spurspokesman]

Wow we are sucking it up

[Beaverfuzz]

Spurs just took the ball away from themselves. lol

[Blizzardwizard]

Lol Tiago and freethrows

[Mal]

Splitter scrub

[mclinejr]

Cold shooting.

[spurspokesman]

splitter please dunk

[spurtech09]

spurs look flat

[$pursDynasty]

Splitter is useless on offense

[DapDaGenius]

No, he got it when he was Patty Mills was guarding him tbh

I'm referring to besides his +40 confidence boost by having Mills guard him.

[Arcadian]

Spurs are completely out of their normal game, have nothing from Green and Bellinelli. They'll get it going at some point.

[Raven]

manu doing everything

[313]

Lmfao splitter

[japre8]

Damn, we are not getting any kind rolls.

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop forgot to tell them it was a playoff game.

[spurtech09]

spurs need to make shots...there back ups look like crap

[007nites]

Tiago!!!

[playbonner15]

Need some Errors tbh

[Darius McCrary]

I knew Belli would go cold when the playoffs started. Saw this coming a mile away.

[stephen jackson]

thank god for tiago

[BatManu20]

D-Rob is sitting court side. Can we sub him in tbh? Would still be better than Splitter

[007nites]

Good effort Green

[TheGoldStandard]

God, you get the steal and then stand around.. lol Push it

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs are completely out of their normal game, have nothing from Green and Bellinelli. They'll get it going at some point.

Green has value as a defender though. Belli has NO value if he's not making his shots.

[313]

Finally!!

[ElNono]

timmy is walking... :tu

[spurspokesman]

lets goooooooo

[spurtech09]

wake up and smell the coffee....spurs need to wake up

[Raven]

still tied.. well decent i guess, now kick beli out thank you.

[superjames1992]

Manu doing his thang per par.

[RD2191]

Good job good effort.

[DPG21920]

Look, even though the Spurs match up very well, Dallas can still score with the best of them. Not only that, it's the playoffs and we are playing a rival. They have nothing to lose, playing loose & are going to compete. It's not a super easy match up because of that factor. Spurs should be fine and IMO, there is a lot more upside for the Spurs - it seems obvious.

[Raven]

Green has value as a defender though. Belli has NO value if he's not making his shots.

green has not been shooting either...

[spurtech09]

I knew Belli would go cold when the playoffs started. Saw this coming a mile away.everybody on the spurs look cold

[smaka]

Could be worse tbh the way we play

[testies]

we play so much better without parker and duncan

[timtonymanu]

still tied.. well decent i guess, now kick beli out thank you.

I'm really starting to see why you hate him so much.

[Baam]

we play so much better without parker and duncan

:lol classic manutards bads...

[PingPong]

Green-Bellinelli-Mills = 0/7

[Splits]

Terrible shooting night and it's tied after 3. We got this, haven't had a run all game. Expect a 12-0 starting at the 8 minute mark to put this shit away

[mclinejr]

we play so much better without parker and duncan

:lol

[superjames1992]

we play so much better without parker and duncan
:lol

[Beaverfuzz]

Ok, stop fucking around and let's sweep the leg.

[TE]

Spurs should be fine and IMO, there is a lot more upside for the Spurs - it seems obvious.
The problem also is that the Spurs are playing possession basketball (which seemingly takes away the talent/upside advantage a team has over another) with the Mavs who seem to have a great defensive gameplan in the halfcourt. The Spurs need to pick up the pace, get the ball moving, play with some sense of urgency...

[james evans]

i really hope we can win this game so popovich's shitty substitution early doesn't cause another playoff loss.

[MI21]

It's a little worrying that Dirk hasn't done shit, can't expect that to continue in the 4th quarter.

Parker early, Manu lately and Timmy through the middle have been the Spurs best... would be nice if someone else would step up.

[DPG21920]

Green-Bellinelli-Mills = 0/7

Add to that 4-10 for Kawhi.

[loveforthegame]

Pop interview. :tu

[Johnny RIngo]

green has not been shooting either...

Yeah but he's not hurting us just by being on the court like Belli either. Has 5 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block and 1 assist. Belinelli has nothing though. -8 on plus/minue too(worst on the team next to Boris)

[playbonner15]

LOL at POP :rollin

[Beaverfuzz]

Excellent job Popp.

[007nites]

turnobili

[spurspokesman]

manu sheesh

[Mal]

Turnobili to start 4th quater rally

[BatManu20]

Pop is one classy sob tbh

[DapDaGenius]

Good shit by Mills

[Beaverfuzz]

RING IT UP PATTY MILLS!

[smaka]

Classy Pop!

[RD2191]

Mills please

[ElNono]

Patty heating up!

[spurspokesman]

patty

[Mikeanaro]

Worst Spurs playoff opener in a while.

[playbonner15]

FINALLY

[ontheraise]

put the starter back in

[loveforthegame]

Come on Manu. Don't settle.

[DapDaGenius]

*sigh*

[spurtech09]

dallas is lucky as fuck

[007nites]

such bs shots falling for mavs

[james evans]

oh well, ginobli's picking up where he left off in last year's finals

[loveforthegame]

Glad we rested Leonard for the playoffs.

[Sean Cagney]

Here COMES TURNOBILI

[RD2191]

Pathetic

[spurspokesman]

sit ginobili pop smh

[spurtech09]

spurs are better than this

[playbonner15]

This upset :lol

[DPG21920]

Spurs don't look anything like themselves.

[Beaverfuzz]

I miss the old lockdown defense.

[RD2191]

Ahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[DapDaGenius]

Got damn....

[BatManu20]

#TankForWiggins

[Raven]

so pop decided not to play kawhi or something?

[Darius Bieber]

Should have bet on the Mavs.

[superjames1992]

Dirk taking over......

[james evans]

i need someone to convince me hos 16 million tied up into ginobli and shitter was a good deal again.

[japre8]

Good god.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Spurs haven't learned at all. Same shit lost them game 6.

[spurtech09]

not the spurs day

[Sean Cagney]

Here COMES TURNOBILI
I can't believe this shit, but then again I can believe it.

[PingPong]

Why Diaw is guarding Dirk?

[01Snake]

Spurs looking to lose this one. Fucking pitiful

[jARS mEsH sEt]

i need someone to convince me hos 16 million tied up into ginobli and shitter was a good deal again.

Splitter is actually playing really well. What the fuck...

[ElNono]

need better D... and great move by Rick to get Dirk going against out bench

[Fireball]

fuck fuck fuck

[playbonner15]

#ConcedeForEmbiid

[ontheraise]

put the starter back in
play the fuckin startersssssssss

[Johnny RIngo]

Diaw just terrible tonight. Always count on a French player to choke

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu's costly turnovers and poor shot selection

[spurtech09]

do the spurs really want this...come on its the mavs not the heat.....

[japre8]

Glad we rested Leonard for the playoffs.
Pops resting him for next season.

[Juggity]

Spurs look more vulnerable right now than they have in months. Need somebody to step up.

[stephen jackson]

this shits sad man

[DBMethos]

Peaked too soon

[TE]

Is there players texting other players' wives? Holy fuck this is not the same team at all.

[RD2191]

Nothing new, defense and offense have been shit all year. Bench lets us down in big games. Same ol story

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Spurs don't look anything like themselves.

I feel like we've seen a hell of a lot more isolation plays from the Spurs. It's like we completely stop our "open man gets the shot...period" mantra when we make it to the playoffs. Ball stops moving side to side and it's a lot more Parker/Duncan 2 man games.

[Rob123]

Dude shoot the fucking ball! What the heck man they don't shoot. You have to shoot yourself out of a slump not be wuss's

[Baam]

It's pretty bad tbh... Where is Kawhi, we can't get any stop...

[stephen jackson]

Spurs look more vulnerable right now than they have in months. Need somebody to step up.
like the man in your sig

[daslicer]

This game has so many shades of Nuggets game 1 from '05 and '07. Spurs are a lot better than what they are showing today but their rhythm is awful.

[BatManu20]

Duncan coming back in the game :tu

[Darius McCrary]

It's amazing how bad we look. Bye bye well oiled machine.

[james evans]

Splitter is actually playing really well. What the fuck...
he's not playig 9 million a season well.

[Texas_Ranger]

Looking like shit

[Uriel]

SpursTalk cliff jumping and melting down is about to come. :lol

[superjames1992]

Worst Spurs playoff opener in a while.
The Spurs lost their playoff opener in each title run last decade.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

This is horse shit

[MI21]

Spurs overall like indecisive as fuck.

Also, Dirk has played 32 minutes with 10 minutes left. Kawhi has played 22... Pop, for fuck sake, you rest everyone all year for these games and you continue to rest them. Frustrating.

[tlongII]

:lol

[TE]

Tbh this cements how great of a coach Carlisle is. Great great gameplan.

[Hoops Czar]

Defensively, the bench looks like shit.

[Prime Time]

Even if the Spurs lose this game, it's not like they can't win on the road. Besides, down 6 while playing some horrific basketball doesn't seem terrible when you actually think about it.

The series is far from over, so far that Game 1 isn't even finished yet lmao.

[McGusto55]

Well be alright

[RD2191]

Good thing I saw this coming all season. No wrist cutting from this guy.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

The good news is it's better so slump during the 1st round against the Mavs than in the WCF or WCSF.

[007nites]

Timmy will probably need to go for 30+ for us to have a chance

[Typical London Boy]

Really thought Pop was going to comment on being asked a third question. Class act though, well said Pop. As for the game - yep, we're fucked. What did we do to deserve Nowitzki in Round One? FFS.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Relax guys, stay calm, WE GOT THIS, this is where experience wins

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Good thing Kawhi is getting tons of rest. Gotta save that 22 year old body for later. Unless he's hurt and I missed it.

[MI21]

Also, 10 assists so far says a lot about the offense...

[spurtech09]

goaltending

[daslicer]

SpursTalk cliff jumping and melting down is about to come. :lol

Agreed you have so many retards going crazy over 1 game.

[Raven]

thanks wright

[ElNono]

You knew Manu was going to push the envelope with those two great quarters and everybody else around him on that bench sucking...

[playbonner15]

ST gonna go nuclear in 9min

[Fireball]

Even if the Spurs lose this game, it's not like they can't win on the road. I even like their play more on the road ... they play less fancy, calm and collected ... no fear there

[spurtech09]

mavs making bs shots

[Mal]

Wide open jumpers one after another

[Chinook]

Kawhi isn't Leonard in?

[testies]

shut the fuck up you faggots

GO SPURS
GO SPURS

[313]

Danny Green has been God awful

[TE]

That's a bad call but we need all the help we can get.

[Mal]

Danny Green has been God awful

He played in this game ??

[DPG21920]

Make FT's Spurs - they will count here in the fourth.

[benstanfield]

Wow. Spurs gonna lose G1. Ball movement doesn't mean shit when the role players can't make shots.

[spurspokesman]

we need stops

[spurtech09]

mavs are lucky right now

[007nites]

Turnobili

[DPG21920]

Manu with the this game doesn't matter pass

[BatManu20]

Manu's lazy turnovers are so annoying

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Turnobili sighting at a critical juncture in the game. Fucking classic.

[Mal]

3rd 4th quater Turnobili

[DapDaGenius]

Another open 3...

[daslicer]

Spurs playing bad but Dallas has gotten some flukey buckets today by scrubs who normally don't play that well.

[Raven]

this is on pop, easily.

[Darius Bieber]

Dallas getting their brooms ready.

[Sean Cagney]

What a waste of a fucking damn day early on.

[loveforthegame]

:lol

[spurtech09]

gameover.....hopfuly spurs better next game

[benstanfield]

Lo. Mavs in 5.

[007nites]

We need a run

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Glad this team decided to show up for game 1

[RD2191]

:lmao:lmao :lmao

[ElNono]

bad TO

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

God damn we look like shit

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop outcoached yet again. Playoff minutes hahahahaha

[Johnny RIngo]

Ugh, Hedo 2.0 in the game

[Darius McCrary]

omg belli is in, this game is over

[r0drig0lac]

ugly

[Mal]

double digits down :lmao

[TE]

this is on pop, easily.
Yep

[japre8]

Dallas has committed to take the 3 away at any cost. Mavs defenders are staying on our shooters not giving them anything. Harris playing like MJ today. Wtf.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Ton of time left but this is sad....

[spurtech09]

Spurs playing bad but Dallas has gotten some flukey buckets today by scrubs who normally don't play that well.yep

[Baam]

Looking like the Pacers lol...

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu's 3rd turnover of the quarter

[stephen jackson]

timmys the only one looking young fuckin sadd thhis trash ass front office built around him
buncha turtles

[ballhog]

Spurs look like shit. Time to play some playoff D

[Kidd K]

I'm officially convinced Manu commits turnovers and misses his first free throw due to laziness. Like he's trying to conserve energy then puts up a lazy FT that hits front rim or tosses a lazy pass like he just did and it gets stolen.

[007nites]

AND 1....

[Raven]

timmy!!!

[superjames1992]

Timmy. :tu

[ElNono]

6pt game... lets go

[spurtech09]

dude the refs are screwing with us...Duncan got fouled

[Splits]

How the fuck is that not a foul?

[stephen jackson]

timmys a fuckin legend wow

[BatManu20]

He got fouled TWICE on that play. Wake up refs

[DapDaGenius]

We need to stop scrubbin it up

[Sean Cagney]

Manu with the this game doesn't matter pass
He turns that on when the playoffs start it seems...

[DPG21920]

TimIsLegend

[TE]

Wow Timmy gets no respect whatsoever. Suck a fat dick NBa

[RD2191]

Tim still carrying this team full of scrubs. Some things never change.

[Darius McCrary]

It's now or never.
DEFENSE.

[benstanfield]

I got hammered at 12 pm for this fucking bullshit. This team won't beat OKC sorry folks.

[Darius McCrary]

Chimpbrook would have got 5 ft's on that last play alone.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

How pathetic is it that we're relying on a 38 year old to save the game. No offense to Timmy, but he took pay cuts so he wouldn't have to do this.

[spurtech09]

don't like the refs in this game.....mavrefs

[ElNono]

He turns that on when the playoffs start it seems...

let's not go overboard, he's done it all season, tbh

[Darius McCrary]

I got hammered at 12 pm for this fucking bullshit. This team won't beat OKC sorry folks.
rofl, stay strong dah

[Fireball]

ST gonna go nuclear in 9min we want it ... we need it

[Darius Bieber]

Feel bad for Tim, having to play with guys who don't show up to the fucking playoffs

[BatManu20]

457958619644837889

[313]

We're fine

[Mikeanaro]

The Spurs lost their playoff opener in each title run last decade.
Yeah, and they never lose the Finals, right?

[Uriel]

Thank you, Tim.

[james evans]

i don't want to see ginobli play another minute in this game

[PingPong]

This the Mavs. They will lose anyway tbh...

[spurtech09]

I got hammered at 12 pm for this fucking bullshit. This team won't beat OKC sorry folks.dude gotta worry bout the mavs lol

[ElNono]

Has Tony scored in the last two quarters?

[Fireball]

I got hammered at 12 pm for this fucking bullshit. This team won't beat OKC sorry folks. we'll never know :lol

[Johnny RIngo]

Using the MLE on Belli/Ayres is looking like a hilariously bad decision now. Belli having a 2004 Hedo-like performance and Ayres not even good enough to get bench minutes over Bonner.

[mVp]

we need some fucking stops now

[jARS mEsH sEt]

he's not playig 9 million a season well.

He's playing 9 million a season for a big well. Good bigs are hard to find in the league. The lack of supply drives up their price relative to guards, for example.

[daslicer]

Dallas has surprisingly slowed down the pace today. Their strategy is to slow down the game and take away the 3 point shot.

[RD2191]

Still losing this game, tbh. Our defense can't get stops. Been happening all year.

[Raven]

i don't see why doesn't he want to play the starters when we had a huge upperhand in the first quarter...

[Darius Bieber]

457958619644837889

Pop should be more focused on the game. Carlisle is destroying him right now.

[spurtech09]

spurs have not played very well today and the bench sucks right now

[japre8]

don't like the refs in this game.....mavrefs
Had to know it was gonna be a bullshit called game when we saw Crawford

[playbonner15]

Spurs this aint funny guys :depressed

[james evans]

don't like the refs in this game.....mavrefs
the refs aren't fuking us, popovich and ginobli are as usual. popovich with the shitty substitutions and ginobli with the usual bad shots and turnovers

[Arcadian]

The Spurs didn't win 62 games with the Big 3 carrying the team. They won it with the best role players in the NBA. All of the role players are sucking today. Even Leonard hasn't scored since the first quarter. They just need to get back to their normal game.

[007nites]

Timmy will have to go off for 40 for us to win

[Capt Bringdown]

I'm officially convinced Manu commits turnovers and misses his first free throw due to laziness. Like he's trying to conserve energy then puts up a lazy FT that hits front rim or tosses a lazy pass like he just did and it gets stolen.

No, he just isn't that smart. He can't acknowledge that defenders have figured him out, and refuses to make appropriate, sensible adjustments.

[spurtech09]

someone else score plz beside tim

[Fireball]

Still losing this game, tbh. Our defense can't get stops. Been happening all year.

On thing is that our normal ball movement is very exhausting slowing down the offense of the opponent. With no ball movement ... well

[spurtech09]

dude get a bucket to fall

[$pursDynasty]

Why isn't Tony attacking more?

[Raven]

very pacient play here by leonard

[TheGoldStandard]

Go strong kawhi
