[RD2191]

Please do us a solid Mavs.

[EIC]

Should be an and-1.

[Budkin]

MANU BITCHES

[01Snake]

Put Manu on the bench!!! haha

[Horry Hipcheck]

what happened!?!

Manu going back to Game 1 of the 2008 first round against PHX with a running lefty off the glass with 1.7 seconds left. 108-106 Spurs. Dallas ball.

[Malik Hairston]

No 3s, please..watch the give&go off the inbound..

Ugh, they have so many dangerous shooters..Dirk, Carter, Calderon, Ellis..

[jARS mEsH sEt]

I'll publicly admit that my post to No Lyfe Shmuck saying "I hope Manu doesn't get the ball" was completely wrong. Manu just made me eat crow. See, I can be reasonable too :lmao

Good job Manu.

[mudyez]

I hate you guys :)

[Raven]

cojo in now :lol

[MVPCues]

Heck of a game.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I would hope not. Manu can't throw the ball into the ocean.

:lmao idiot

[Budkin]

Come on Spurs D the fuck up.... this is the season!!!

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Its going to dirk short corner

[Brazil]

Pop is ballsy throwing josephlike that

[PingPong]

Kawhi guarding Dirk, pop?

[Horry Hipcheck]

This has heartbreak written all over it, I hope they have this one stop in them.

[Malik Hairston]

Any shot but a 3, please..

[twincam]

Okay, okay, okay, so I was wrong about Manu.

This is where they MUST not foul.

[RD2191]

This has heartbreak written all over it, I hope they have this one stop in them.

[spurspokesman]

oh gosh. 1.2

[jARS mEsH sEt]

:lmao idiot

See my last post :toast

[mudyez]

just pm me who won! :O

[MVPCues]

Inbounds gonna be tipped...

[Mal]

Da fuk refs are doing ?

[Horry Hipcheck]

Tony Brothers wants to make sure the Mavs have all the time in the world to plan this.

[Brazil]

Come on guys

[Malik Hairston]

Is 1.7 going to be the new 0.4, tbh?:(.

[Beaverfuzz]

I'd have Splitter or Pendergraph on the inbounder

[RD2191]

Refs discussing the and 1.

[Mal]

Extra timeout for Mavs....

[01Snake]

WTF refs??

[Brazil]

Oh god

[superjames1992]

Parker is pissed

[Budkin]

What the hell is going on?

[Beaverfuzz]

Wow, fuck no.

[BatManu20]

Woof

[superjames1992]

Fuck

[Raven]

had to happen.

[RD2191]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Mal]

OMG

[Horry Hipcheck]

WOW. Cannot believe I called this.

[DapDaGenius]

I can't fuckin' believe it

[ElNono]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Brazil]

Can't believe it

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Travel and late clock....what a joke

[timtonymanu]

Of course :lol

[Darius Bieber]

That's the season.

[mudyez]

i think i got a heart attack just bye reading...fuck

[BatManu20]

That was to be expected

[Crookshanks]

DAMN IT - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[01Snake]

FUCK!!

[Budkin]

Is 1.7 going to be the new 0.4, tbh?:(.

Please Oh Lord no.... we've had titles yes but we've had some of the worst heartbreakers ever.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Couldn't have defended it any better, either.

[loveforthegame]

:depressed

[Cherry]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Spurs9]

Lol what more can you say

[Johnny RIngo]

Cory Joseph jinxed us

[Budkin]

BULLSHIOITHOEHISDGLSKNDG

[dg7md]

:lol Unbelievable.

:lol Losing to the worst home team in the playoffs.

[japre8]

Omg. That just happen? FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[Beaverfuzz]

Good old Ginobli, how do you get pump faked into the air like that?

[Baam]

Incredible shot tbh.

[Cry Havoc]

GG. Bring on game 3.

[dallasmaverickslose]

lmfao

[Horry Hipcheck]

Nothing is fucking worse than Mark Cuban right now.

[TE]

Fucking ban me.

[spurspokesman]

Damn how may playoff buzzer beaters will the spurs lose

[Malik Hairston]

Nothing you can do there, amazing shot..

[DapDaGenius]

Man, shut the fuck up Chris Webber....you timeout callin' bitch!

[Mikeanaro]

Lol, losing to an 8th seed AGAIN!

[KaiRMD1]

Yo, this doesn't change anything. Spurs got this in six. Good game by the Mavs, they played hard but we coming back. Not counting out these Spurs

[testies]

no seriosuly god fuck you
why the fuck do you hate the spurs so much?

[Captivus]

smh

[MVPCues]

Going to shoot pool. Gonna take this shit out on my opponent tonight. Sad.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

That was horrendous reffing at end

[lurker]

God damn, y'all are cursed.

[Horry Hipcheck]

All that clutch effort for naught.

[Crookshanks]

I don't think I can watch any more of this series. My heart has not recovered from last season and that last second buzzer beater by Ray Allen - now this one by another old ass - Vince Carter. I just can't take it. I just want to cry.

[Budkin]

They got an extra time out??

[RD2191]

Spurs ain't doing shit in the playoffs anyway. Just get it over with. Bench has been a no show and D is still terrible.

[daslicer]

Spurs are cursed it doesn't seem like its their year. Vince Carter is one of the biggest choke artist of all time. I'm just shocked he it this is like Bonner hitting a game winner.

[EIC]

Feels like 0.4, tbh.

Spurs are done.

[boutons_deux]

Did I hear spurs 0 9 in series when they lose this game 3??

[davethedope]

damn that's a tough loss

[Beaverfuzz]

Couldn't have defended it any better, either.



Huh?

[Beaverfuzz]

Couldn't have defended it any better, either.



Huh?

[Raven]

this is all on pop, no excuses today.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Good effort by the Spurs down the stretch, Kawhi's defense on Monta was pretty bad though.

Nothing you could really do on that last shot, in hindsight it makes sense that a corner 3 would be an option though.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Told you motherfuckers

Spurs just have no heart this series.
we don't deserve it.
absolute bullshit

[Capt Bringdown]

Painful ending to the Duncan era, last year and now this.

[~Sweetmelody~]

THAT HURTS!

[jARS mEsH sEt]

That was actually a really fucking good game. Definitely one of the best playoff games so far. Well called overall and exciting finish. Just have to tip your hat.

[Boomersgold]

Can't fault Manu on his defense on that Carter three. He played it close to perfectly.

[InRareForm]

Are we really down 1-2 to this clown team

[spurspokesman]

Wow good shot

[td4mvp21]

Might as well get the choke out of the way early instead of the Finals :lol

[Chinook]

Not much you can do about the other team making a contested three. Doesn't excuse the poor coaching throughout the game, though.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Just stupid. Just stupid.

[32fastest]

Looked like vince stepped out of bounds?

[Borosai]

Spurs just begging for handouts. They're not playing to win a thing.

[jag]

There are no words.

[SpurSwag]

how much bullshit is gonna happen to the spurs, yes we've gotten some great championships and we are definitely spoiled spurs fans but come the fuck on with .4, then 6, now this shit.

this isn't anywhere near as bad as teh other 2 but come the fuck on

Spurs in 6 tho

[siraulo23]

:lol props vince carter

and the spurs are officially in trouble

no answer for monta, he's a good enough shooter to kill the spurs going under

[spurspokesman]

Wow good shot. Spurs have to be one of the worst buzzer beater defense teams in history lol. Sheesh

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Even though I hate Manutards Manu's defense on Carter was pretty good on that last play too so can't really fault him for bad defense. Just lucky shot by Carter.

[timtonymanu]

:lol What a meltdown, tbh.

Role players still playing like shit. The Big 3 + Splitter having to do everything. Pop caught with his hand in his pants again cause he can't make adjustments. COY material for sure.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs = first team to have lost to 8 seeds twice in the history of the NBA. What a joke.

[RD2191]

:wakeup

[jag]

I'm getting drunk, getting some pizza and then getting my girlfriend to blow me.

What a fucking loss.

[ElNono]

regroup, go for the next one... what you gonna do

[SpurPadre]

We still have a shot but that was so disheartening. To think it's possible to go from Finals caliber team to first round loser to another eighth seed would be a huge blow to this franchise.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Fucking bullshit luck will run out! Go win in 6 Spurs and shove it up Cuban's ass!

[slick'81]

Carter with the fake and step back for the wiiin

[siraulo23]

No 3s or and 1s, of course it was a 3

[hommeaetage]

I would've put a big on the inbound. I'd rather give a putback tie to overtime than the 3. And Manu definitely bit on that pumfake, oh well...

[Horry Hipcheck]

Told you motherfuckers

Spurs just have no heart this series.
we don't deserve it.
absolute bullshit


What fourth quarter did you watch?

[Darius Bieber]

That is basically Fisher 0.4. Spurs won't come back from it.

[BackHome]

That was actually a really fucking good game. Definitely one of the best playoff games so far. Well called overall and exciting finish. Just have to tip your hat.

+1

[EIC]

Looked like vince stepped out of bounds?

I thought so.

[james evans]

good defense by ginobli, but he shouldn't have been in the game. he doesn't have the length to stop that fadeaway.

[superjames1992]

Monta was torching Kawhi down the stretch.

It will be interesting to see how Tony reacts after being benched today.

Gotta win Monday.

[Kawhi]

Not even close. Don't jump in the air...stand your ground.

[$pursDynasty]

Pop has to figure out a way to stop pg penetration. Some here has said DG does a good job of it, not that I can tell. Our offense is fine our defense sucks. It is why Westbrick and Reggie Jackson torch us so often.

[Mugen]

Great shot by Vince, Spurs have the look of pretenders so far these playoffs tbh

[KaiRMD1]

Spurs will come back with a greater resolve for the next game, guarantee. Patty, Beli & Green are feeling the heat because they haven't really done much this series so the next game is going to be interesting. This Mavs team is definitely NOT the same team we beat during the season while the Spurs are playing like it's the same team. I'll say it before and I'll say it again, Spurs have got this. Hopefully, they don't make me look stupid

[BillMc]

regroup, go for the next one... what you gonna do

This.

[SupremeGuy]

I told my girl... I told her... all I fucking wanted was to make sure we wasted all the clock. Didn't even care if we scored, I just didn't want them to have the last shot. Fucking shit.

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs get their throats cut by last second shots again. We should be used to it by now.

[timtonymanu]

:lol and people said they were scared more of the GS series?

Dallas has championship experience and an elite coach. The Warriors were inexperienced and that made us eventually win the series. Now, here we are down 1-2.

Called that buzzer beater.

[Boomersgold]

Rockets down 2-1 to Blazers
Spurs down 2-1 to Mavs
Pacers down 2-1 to Hawks

Not looking good for these 'elite' teams.

[daslicer]

That is basically Fisher 0.4. Spurs won't come back from it.

I wouldn't go that far yet. .4 put the Spurs down 3-2 they were 1 game away from elimination. If the spurs win game 4 they will get this series back.

[BatManu20]

That is basically Fisher 0.4. Spurs won't come back from it.

:lol no it's not..

[james evans]

for popovoich to be an all time great coach, he sure as hell have never came up with a strategy to stop the pick and roll. dallas is just killing us with picks all game. that's all they're doing and he can't get the players to talk to each other on defense.

[apalisoc_9]

Kawhi was so efficient today yet they only went to him a couple times...7-8:lmao

[SpurSwag]

how are people bugging this hard though if we win the next game we go back to san antonio with the home court back...

[td4mvp21]

Great shot by Vince, Spurs have the look of pretenders so far these playoffs tbh

I mean, a win in Game 4 puts them right back in the series. But they're clearly not championship material.

[Darius Bieber]

:lol no it's not..

We'll see how all the homer Spurs fans feel after Monday night tbh

[DPG21920]

Regression to the mean for Mavs; Crisper play from SA. Nothing more.

[Trill Clinton]

http://i60.tinypic.com/bk84l.gif

[davi78239]

Well, lets see. Can monta Ellis really play that good again?? And it took a last shot from Vince to beat us. If spurs lose on Monday, then we can say its over.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

We don't even deserve a championship.
not with this shit defense.
I'm very disappointed in this team.
We haven't showed any heart
They want it more than us.
You would honestly think the Spurs would want it more after what happened last year...

[james evans]

Rockets down 2-1 to Blazers
Spurs down 2-1 to Mavs
Pacers down 2-1 to Hawks

Not looking good for these 'elite' teams.
pacers won today.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Rockets down 2-1 to Blazers
Spurs down 2-1 to Mavs
Pacers down 2-1 to Hawks

Not looking good for these 'elite' teams.

And OKC has a solid chance of being down 3-1 to Memphis.

[SpurPadre]

People just love dumping on Manu so it pains me to say he left way too much time on the clock. You just don't give the home team who is full of great shooters a final chance like that.

[RD2191]

The Spurs are done. Don't know why you guys are doing this to yourselves. As fans we have to believe but it's pretty much over. We can't stop Ellis, what are Lillard or Harden gonna do? Come on man.

[Mugen]

Luckily, this only ranks like #8 on the list of crushing Spurs defeats tbh :lol

I think the Spurs come out and win Game 4 fwiw.....

[ploto]

Spurs wasting a 22-point game by Duncan.

[Crookshanks]

Mavs barely made the 8th seed, and they're the worst home team - yet they win this game. SMH Spurs seem to be cursed in the playoffs. Why work so hard to get that #1 seed if you're going to get torched in the first round? And I just hate these old players hitting the game winning 3's on the Spurs - it just rips my heart out.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Just have to leave it and take Game 4. They showed they can make the plays necessary down the stretch. Knot it up on Monday and then you've got a great chance at 3-2 at home.

[dg7md]

:lol Spurs
:lol Worst home team in the NBA beating the best road team
:lol Jim Carrey outcoaching the COTY
:lol Vince Carter 1999 mode
:lol Monta Ellis acting like a superstar

[slick'81]

Spurs don't have much choice now game 4 is all but a must win

[Duncan2177]

Rockets down 2-1 to Blazers
Spurs down 2-1 to Mavs
Pacers down 2-1 to Hawks

Not looking good for these 'elite' teams.

Thunder down 2-1 to Grizzlies

[Horry Hipcheck]

People just love dumping on Manu so it pains me to say he left way too much time on the clock. You just don't give the home team who is full of great shooters a final chance like that.

The play was solid, and he even managed to get a few lucky extra ticks off the clock. I too thought 1.7 was too much, but Manu made the play that was drawn up. A Vince Carter buzzer beater is hardly the fault of the previous play.

[SpursRock20]

Umm, why did Tiago Splitter only play 29 minutes? The dude was balling and didn't see the floor the last 5 minutes or so.

[Borosai]

The Spurs clearly haven't learned anything from all the heartbreaking losses and embarassing playoff defeats over the past 5 years. If they're not ready round 1, game 1, then they're never going to be prepared to win another championship. Just more of the same.

[PingPong]

Meltdown, lol...

[Arcadian]

Yo, this doesn't change anything. Spurs got this in six. Good game by the Mavs, they played hard but we coming back. Not counting out these Spurs

I feel the same. I'm not so much worried about losing the series, just annoyed that it's getting extended to 6-7 games...

[timtonymanu]

People just love dumping on Manu so it pains me to say he left way too much time on the clock. You just don't give the home team who is full of great shooters a final chance like that.

Nothing could be done about that. The shot was there, he should take it.

This is all on Pop.

Once again, he's getting outcoached

[RD2191]

Spurs lose this series. Calling it now. Guard play too much for Spurs. Monta too quick for Kawhi. Harris has gone off twice on the road, should play better at home. Mills and Marco are terrible defensive players and worthless when they're not hitting shots. Has Dirk had a Dirk type game yet? Look for Pop to panic and start Manu in Game 4. Our interior defense is also a joke.

Hate to bump this again but come on, I'm a terrible poster and even I saw this shit coming.

[hommeaetage]

The play was solid, and he even managed to get a few lucky extra ticks off the clock. I too thought 1.7 was too much, but Manu made the play that was drawn up. A Vince Carter buzzer beater is hardly the fault of the previous play.

I'm not gonna really blame Manu. It was an And-1, but the refs swallowed their whistles. I would have like Manu to not bite on the pumpfake though

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

The Sleeping Giant continues to Sleep tbh.
We still haven't seen the True Spurs we know and Love.
The good thing is that we haven't had one good game this series and were due for one.

[Johnny RIngo]

Monta is killing our 22 year old defender while Parker is being intimated by 40 year old Marion. Always knew TP would look painfully average once his speed left him.

[BatManu20]

We'll be alright. I still think we win this series. We just gotta clean things up the first 3 quarters and it won't keep coming down to the last second in the 4th. And our role players (Green, Mills) gotta stop shitting the bed.

And if we do end up losing the series, then..... oh well. Life goes on.

[Horry Hipcheck]

I feel the same. I'm not so much worried about losing the series, just annoyed that it's getting extended to 6-7 games...

Spurs are a rare buzzer beater from a 2-1 lead, they came out much more aggressive than in Games 1 and 2 and made HUGE plays late. They can win the series, and I still feel they will, but obviously that run of 10 straight wins is long gone. Needing 6 should hopefully be nothing more than an inconvenience.

[twincam]

Still living in the past, in their current present, jeopardizing their playoff future.

[james evans]

:lol Spurs
:lol Worst home team in the NBA beating the best road team
:lol Jim Carrey outcoaching the COTY
:lol Vince Carter 1999 mode
:lol Monta Ellis acting like a superstar
dallas is doing pick'n'rolls damn near every play and the greatest coach of all time can't stop it. he has no clue on how to stop it. that's amazing. the so called greatest coach of all time. this is how phoenix beat us in 2010. stop the fukin pick'n'roll and make dallas beat us another way. don't let them beat us the only way they know how.

[lurker]

n/m, link not working

[KaiRMD1]

And if we do end up losing the series, then..... oh well. Life goes on.

Exactly but if we are gonna lose, I'd rather we lose later on

[KaiRMD1]

If Mavs win this series, this guy gets retribution:
http://mavsblog.dallasnews.com/files/2013/08/NM_15MAVSW_32616146.jpg

[Harry Callahan]

I just saw the last play and how is that not a travel on Carter? Carter hopped away from Ginobili without dribbling to get the shot off. It looks pretty obvious to me.....

I'm a Spurs homer and all, but that was BAD!!!!

Am I missing something?

[timtonymanu]

Luckily, this only ranks like #8 on the list of crushing Spurs defeats tbh :lol

I think the Spurs come out and win Game 4 fwiw.....

Yeah, they still could win the series, but Pop is getting outcoached so badly. Carlisle is elite too, so it worries me he will figure out our adjustment, assuming Pop doesn't throw out the usual, "they'll figure it out. they're professionals," bullshit he likes to say.

[hommeaetage]

Actually listening to the Post game, Ellis was the first option on the play. Call me crazy, but I'd rather have Ellis take the last shot at the top of the arc than giving a corner 3

[Knoxxx]

Next game always the biggest in a playoff series...

[Findog]

how much bullshit is gonna happen to the spurs, yes we've gotten some great championships and we are definitely spoiled spurs fans but come the fuck on with .4, then 6, now this shit.

this isn't anywhere near as bad as teh other 2 but come the fuck on

Spurs in 6 tho

C'mon, no love for the Grizz? What about 8?

[Ice009]

Wow. I just watched the game. I cannot believe it. Spurs always get the most bullshit losses. The flukiest shit in NBA history, Spurs get it.

Props to Dallas. They want it bad. Great effort, they never gave up in any of these games so far.

Spurs came out and played liked soft bitches in games 1 and 2 and it's all their own fault for being in this hole.

[Mugen]

C'mon, no love for the Grizz? What about 8?

8 wasn't that bad. Any team with RJ as a main cog has a 2nd round ceiling tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Wow. I just watched the game. I cannot believe it. Spurs always get the most bullshit losses. The flukiest shit in NBA history, Spurs get it.

Props to Dallas. They want it bad. Great effort, they never gave up in any of these games so far.

Spurs came out and played liked soft bitches in games 1 and 2 and it's all their own fault for being in this hole.

Yeah, this loss wouldn't be such a big deal if the Spurs didn't play Game 2 like it was a preseason game.

This team that talked about how much last year hurt and how they are motivated, they better play every game with a lot of intensity.

[therealtruth]

Actually listening to the Post game, Ellis was the first option on the play. Call me crazy, but I'd rather have Ellis take the last shot at the top of the arc than giving a corner 3

I think the percentages would agree. A corner 3 from a good 3pt shooter or a 3 from the top of the arc from a not as good 3pt shooter.

[Ice009]

Yeah, this loss wouldn't be such a big deal if the Spurs didn't play Game 2 like it was a preseason game.

This team that talked about how much last year hurt and how they are motivated, they better play every game with a lot of intensity.

It's all on the Spurs. I don't feel sorry for them. I've got more heart than half the players on the team. It's inexcusable the effort and intensity they played with in games 1 and 2. They deserve it.

The Mavs have come out and played with the intensity and effort you are supposed to bring in the playoffs.

I'm not saying it's over or anything, but the Spurs have put themselves in this spot by not competing hard enough throughout the first two games. Can't blame Dallas for bringing it.

[Fireball]

Umm, why did Tiago Splitter only play 29 minutes? The dude was balling and didn't see the floor the last 5 minutes or so.

[Sean Cagney]

Wow. I just watched the game. I cannot believe it. Spurs always get the most bullshit losses. The flukiest shit in NBA history, Spurs get it.

Props to Dallas. They want it bad. Great effort, they never gave up in any of these games so far.

Spurs came out and played liked soft bitches in games 1 and 2 and it's all their own fault for being in this hole.
I agree some of the worst shots and flukiest shit goes against them at all TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They have had a few go their way though and won quite a few titles though so we have been blessed this long and cursed this long! You have to make the playoffs though and be a legit team to suffer those losses!!!!!!!! I look at it both ways, some horrible losses and some great wins in our years, love it and hate it. I swear though only that falls on us today, always say that.

[SpurSwag]

C'mon, no love for the Grizz? What about 8?

Oh man...

.4, 8, 6, 1.7

What am I missing?

[jARS mEsH sEt]

"the foul" (Manu on dirk '06)

What else?

[superjames1992]

The Backdoor Sweep™ (2012 WCF)

[jARS mEsH sEt]

"The fix" (2012 game 6 wcf)

07 Phoenix makes up for that I suppose.
