2014 Playoffs - Round 1, Game 3 - Spurs @ Mavs

[TE]

Will be adding to this as the day nears.

Game is on Saturday, 3:30 CT on TNT.

[freetiago]

I know theres a lot of cliff jumpers right now but it was basically the exact same situation with Golden State last year with SA stealing game 1 and Golden State blowing out game 2

this time though it was basically all just turnovers
Mavs are protecting the ball at an all time NBA level while the Spurs are just throwing it to them for easy fast break points

if they turn it over half the amount and their good free throw shooters hit their free throws it wont be a contest tbh..

[Darius Bieber]

Gonna be tough to win one in Dallas.

[jag]

Way too early for a game thread. Bad juju, tbh.

[Mugen]

show yer boobs.

[cjw]

Best 3 out of 5 now, I don't see how the Mavs can win three more but I've been wrong before. Much rather would have this stinker of a game now than in a subsequent series where there's less room for error.

All this means is we have to win at least once on the road now.

[Kawhi]

Why so early? Couldn't you just wait until Saturday?

[cd98]

Gonna be tough to win one in Dallas.

We've done it twice this season. We were the best road team. I think we'll be fine. We won't turn the ball over so much and we won't shoot that bad again. Leonard will play better.

[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.

[Harry Callahan]

24 Turnovers against a team that is actually older on average than the Spurs?

Disgusting effort.

Giving a Mavericks team life with a pre-season effort in a playoff game.

A focused Spurs team will win the next three games, but damn you have to wonder if they are engaged enough to do that.

Hopefully the Spurs can get a grade A effort on Saturday.

I don't think the Mavericks are consistent enough to put together another 48 minute performance like this.

20+ turnovers gives you little to no chance of winning.......

Basically everything that can go wrong for the Spurs did go wrong.

Leonard hardly played tonight - he was awful and committed silly, useless fouls. He wasn't out there to defend Ellis or anyone else for a lot of the game.

If SA cuts their TOs in half and shoots 75-80% from the line, they'll be OK.

When a team plays probably one of the 2 or 3 worst games they've played all season, it does not look good at this moment.

I think the TOs were more due to the Spurs being exceedingly sloppy with the ball and not some huge improvement in defense by Dallas.

The Coaching Staff needs to emphasize ball security the next couple of days.

The Spurs will win a couple of games in Dallas. They just pissed away this game big time.

[Malik Hairston]

Game 3 isn't until Saturday?..what the fuck?..

It gives Pop 2 extra days to drink wine and do nothing

[superjames1992]

Spurs win, IMHO.

The two days off are going to hurt us as fans as this loss will have too much time to sink in. :cry

[TE]

Just remembered my last game thread was the most recent away game vs Mavs. Maybe it's a good thing I made the thread.

[HI-FI]

It gives Pop 2 extra days to drink wine and do nothing
:lol
I hope not.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

If I don't see a new SA team then for the first time I'll be ashamed of my Spurs. Tonight was awful, Tim has always been the face of superstars and leaders since the MJ era, and tonight he looked like neither. My favorite athlete ever, but his body language tonight was just plain bad. Parker better get his head out of his butt and this team better figure out how they play like they did during that long winning streak, because if they don't drastically improve, the only championship they will have this season is the regular season championship which only means something to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

[TE]

Gonna be tough to win one in Dallas.

The Spurs are the best road team in the NBA. The Mavericks are not as good or as confident at home, and Dirk even admitted that in his interview the other day.

[TE]

Sucks that this game is on Saturday. Still one more day :td

[Robz4000]

Tbh, after reading a lot of the comments by Carlisle, Dirk, and the rest of the Mavs, I get the feeling they're playing mind games with the Spurs. Really pulling out all the stops to steal this series.

[TE]

They know if we make the necessary adjustments, we'll eventually win the series.

Hopefully in five games (I'm going to game 5)

[TE]

If we somehow don't win the series there are a myriad of people to point the finger to but it all starts with the reigning COTY. If the Spurs lose this series, it'll be because Pop and his really bad rotations/minute allocation.

[Robz4000]

This whole JC calling Pop "Coach of the Century" and Dirk saying he doesn't feel confident going home for Game 3 has me on edge and I don't know why...

[Robz4000]

If we somehow don't win the series there are a myriad of people to point the finger to but it all starts with the reigning COTY. If the Spurs lose this series, it'll be because Pop and his really bad rotations/minute allocation.

Yop, we'll find out how much of his coaching was him and how much was coach Bud/Brown.

[dg7md]

Pop doesn't miss the shots on the field, he's not responsible if Manu loses control of the ball; Our players are the reasons for losses more than any other factor.

[aal04]

we HAVE to win.

Memphis is getting rid of OKC for us. Portland is getting rid of Houston.

Stars seem to be aligning.

[TE]

Pop doesn't miss the shots on the field, he's not responsible if Manu loses control of the ball; Our players are the reasons for losses more than any other factor.
Pop is in charge of who is on the court and who is on the bench. Part of the problem during the first two games has been bad rotations (generated out of bad matchups) and bizarre minute allocations (see Leonard and Green's minutes).

[cd98]

We looked defeated last year after the first two games against the Warriors. We turned it around. We'll do the same against an inferior Mav team.

[21209]

Sometimes the Spurs need these kind of lackluster games to regain their focus.

They circle the wagons better than any NBA team I know.

They just have to get off to a great start and weather any runs the Mavs will predictably make during the game.

We beat the Mavs 10 consecutive times before that loss, but people think we're still going to lose the series... :lol

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Spurs just need to actually try this game tbh.. Those first two games looked like the Last regular season game against the Lakers, where they didn't give a fuck and just coasted... They've been playing that way ever since..
We won't lose the series tho I refuse to believe that.. I mean Devin fckin Harris?? Seriously???
its time to grow a pair Spurs and stop fucking around.

[EVAY]

Come on, guys.

The Spurs will win this series. It will be fine. Promise.

[EVAY]

According to the local paper, Pop has told Parker that he wants him to be taking a whole lot more shots in the next game.

Last game Tony took ten shots and made 5, and had three assists and three turnovers and some posters were accusing him of hero ball as the reason we lost the game.

I have always said that Tony does exactly what Pop wants him to do out there. When he is taking shots it is because Pop wants him to do that; if it is not, it is because Pop wants him to do something else.

I expect a full-on volcanic eruption from the likes of Nono and Johnny Ringo if Tony takes 25 shots in the next game. Regardless of how many he makes and regardless of whether or not the team wins the game, it will be eruption time because he is doing what he was told to do.

[Capt Bringdown]

Saturday? WTF? When's the playoffs going to end this year, September?

[TE]

There will have been game 4's played before our game 3...smh that's fucking retarded

[monkeypunk]

There will have been game 4's played before our game 3...smh that's fucking retarded

More time to practice, gameplan and ultimately rest old legs. I hate to wait so long between games from a fan perspective but the team looked pretty gassed the last few games so a little extra rest should help.

Each day is another 8 whataburgers for Blair too...

[Gummi Clutch]

spurs in a blowout win. Noway Allas beats us.

[Mugen]

Will be very disappointing if the Spurs don't come out strong early. If they can't come out with much effort/execution in the first half then it'll be very telling for how the rest of the series goes IMO.

[TE]

This is an opportunity for Triggered Excellence to let his dick hang low and establish himself as an elite level Game Thread starter.

Dude all that matters is the win. I have a good track record with making threads that end up in Spurs wins. If the Spurs don't win, fuck me and fml.

[gameFACE]

Be the aggressor and don't be inept. Kawhi, Green, Mills and Diaw have to bring it. I hope Pop's figured out how to use the second unit with a shortened rotation.

If all that is good it should be a convincing win.

[Robz4000]

Tony Brothers is the lead official...

[Arcadian]

It is pretty weird that everyone else is on game 4 and we're only on game 3. It does have advantages, but you still have to wonder why they scheduled it like that.

[Robz4000]

It is pretty weird that everyone else is on game 4 and we're only on game 3. It does have advantages, but you still have to wonder why they scheduled it like that.

League prolly thought this series would go quick and didn't want to give the Spurs an extra couple days of rest between rounds.

heat/bobcats have game 3 tonight

Taken together, it makes sense. They assumed the Spurs and Heat would sweep. But that's not cool...if you sweep, you deserve to get some extra rest, do you not?

[Robz4000]

Taken together, it makes sense. They assumed the Spurs and Heat would sweep. But that's not cool...if you sweep, you deserve to get some extra rest, do you not?

They do it every year with the favorites iirc. I remember a few years ago there were game 2s in the second round while first round series' were still happening, so exhaustion became an issue. They wanna try to keep a level playing field to improve the product on the court.

[smaka]

Go Spurs Go!
I love those early games!

[Horry Hipcheck]

Taken together, it makes sense. They assumed the Spurs and Heat would sweep. But that's not cool...if you sweep, you deserve to get some extra rest, do you not?

There's also a lot of TV scheduling involved. Eight playoff series happening simultaneously, some with greater distances between cities than others, competing for airtime with other programs and the NHL playoffs. Assuming the higher seeds would win quicker may be part of it, but this is also a TV and travel problem.

As far as rest goes, if the Spurs win in five and Rockets/Blazers goes 7, they'll still get their rest. On the other hand, they're getting rest between games now, and I think I'd take that and have the players keep off rust instead of having four days off after the series concludes.

Now just tighten up the defense and get the ball moving on offense. I like that Parker is hitting his jumpers but he can't just play ISO ball at the top of the key all game. Green and Leonard need to get involved, and they can't rely on Dallas to stay cold from the field.

TONY. STOP. MY HEART.

[Beaverfuzz]

Good D Boris, made him readjust and miss!

[ElNono]

good offensive 1st quarter... still need to tighten the D a bit

[Rito3d30]

no more that Devin Harris SHIT!!!!!!

[Malik Hairston]

Tony is playing great on both ends, he knows Devin Harris can't beat him off the dribble, tbh..

The only problem I had the with the defense was defending in transition(it's been a problem all series), tbh..Calderon is making shots off the dribble, which isn't his strength, I can live with it..Dirk is going to be Dirk..

solid 1st lets just keep it going

[Uriel]

Great 1st quarter. :tu

[Beaverfuzz]

Keep up the effort for 36 more minutes.

What an improvement. Parker and Leonard came to play. Splitter looks aggressive. TD is here today too. Now just drop the hammer on D.

[RD2191]

Need better D.

[Juggity]

Great effort in the quarter. Mavs still hitting lots of shots, but the spurs offense looks a lot more fluid.
