2014 NBA Playoffs - Round 1, Game 4 - Spurs @ Mavericks

[200 miles]

Sorry, TE. If Bruno is not going to show up, that's fine. If Timvp wants to walk through the desert to search for the meaning of life, that's fine too. I don't care whatsoever for the fact that I am a lowly GNSF who has been a member for six years because quite frankly it doesn't matter at this point in time what your status or credentials are or how many spurs you have. Judging from the countless meltdown threads, it seems that about half of us are just about ready to jump off that proverbial cliff. I believe that this game thread should be started by a "commoner" who very much has absolute faith that the Spurs will find a way and use that way to ride on to the second round. Anybody who wishes to deride this game thread or me personally, go right ahead as long it compels you to share the same level of faith that I, along with the rest of the half of us who still believe, possess. If you still don't give them one last chance, then to hell with you and your moronic tl;dr's. Probably the only poster I would be glad to allow to start a new game thread would be No Limit.

About this team we love so dearly, I would say it's already well known that Pop has an ugly tendency that involves him panicking at almost the first sign of trouble, so I can only hope he would just stop with these silly new rotations and stick to what gave him 62 wins in the first place. But what really worries me is what Pop said before Game 3 concerning Tony. I don't remember what he said exactly but involved Pop's encouraging of Parker taking at least 25 shots as some sort of Plan A. I'll say what at least a few others are thinking and that is that both Duncan and Leonard need to lead this team to the promised land. If it's Parker that is in the driver's seat, it would make this playoff run exponentially tougher. While I wouldn't dare question his scoring skill, I am really disappointed with his role as a facilitator. Instead of sharing the ball with his teammates to find the open man on practically every play, it seems he only does that a third of the time being on the court and the rest of the time he just overdribbles and waits until the shot clock is almost over so he can force a shot of his own like the Nealish ballhogging heroballer that he often embodies. Nevertheless, I know he is capable of producing much more than a measly six assists. Right after tipoff, Timmy and KL have to set the tone that will determine and dictate the tempo of the game. If they can do that plus Green putting in at least a slightly larger contribution, namely guarding Ellis, the Spurs can very well win three straight games against Cuban's missiles and make it to the next part of the slope.

That's really what it basically is: the playoff run = climbing an Everestian mountain. It's already difficult at the base of the mountain (Mavs) and it will only get even more difficult after each step (POR/HOU, LAC/OKC, MIA). It's simply a matter of how much and how badly this team wants to get to the very peak of the mountain. Forget Pop, Tony and even Manu, but think of Timmy and imagine how badly he wants to win his fifth to effectively redeem himself for what happened last year. For a man who has an incredible heart and will, he sure as hell does not deserve to go out in the first round. Not like this. I am supremely confident his determination will resonate through to his teammates. They know they have a bit more firepower in their arsenal.


The climb starts Monday night at 8:30.

I won't be able to watch the next few games unfortunately since I'm visiting a shitty ass small city with a population of 40k and non existent basketball following...:(

[freetiago]

I know spurfan is going suicidal right now but if you win this game its 2-2 with Spurs having 2 out of 3 home games
Dallas needed a miracle play to win

at this point its really only Pop and his terrible rotations that are holding the team back
their bench came down to earth even though they were playing at home while ours stepped up a little

the starters have all played great also outplaying their starters significantly

Parker needs to stop pulling second half disappearing acts and we can win this easily
it seems like every game he drops 15+ in the first quarter than less than 5 points the rest of the way

one thing to exploit is the Parker/Leonard pick and roll
it gave them a lot of trouble and generated jumpshots close to the basket since it usually switches a terrible defensive guard like Ellis/Calderon onto Parker
they also know now that Leonard will get doubled teamed everytime he gets a post touch and have to space the floor appropriately and have a good 3 point shooter like Marco make the strong side pass instead of Parker

also hoping Pop doesnt make panic rotations again
Bonner should never play and Parker should be playing 40 minutes and key minutes in the 4th not Patty

Hold on, let me do the math here...

[ace3g]

I have a feeling Bonner will play 10-15 min tomorrow.

[dallasmaverickslose]

I have a feeling Bonner will play 10-15 min tomorrow.

Or Baynes?

[jARS mEsH sEt]

I have a feeling Bonner will play 10-15 min tomorrow.

He actually opened up the lane for either Manu or Tony to operate for a play or two in game 3, in addition to being run off the 3 point line and hitting his sole shot.

But, the thing about Bonner is that he's most useful against a sagging defense - not necessarily a switching one - so I don't know how useful he'll actually be if given extended minutes.

[SupremeGuy]

We should counter Blair with Baynes each and every time.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Lets get it boys! I see a big game for Leonard and the big 3

[Duncan2177]

I see the spurs playing better defense. GO SPURS GO :flag:

I expect the Spurs we all know and love to come out and dominate.
Lets make these motherfuckers pay.

[timtonymanu]

Play Green a lot more. Spurs need more defense. He brings that.

If Patty continues to stink it up, I wouldn't mind seeing Joseph get his minutes.

Hopefully Parker can show up for the whole game.

[RD2191]

Spurs need to send a message tonight.

I saw TD's interview, and I heard him use the word "pissed" when talking about how the team felt about Carter's shot and last game's result. For normally quiet TD to use the word pissed was pretty surprising to me. I can't wait to see how the team comes out tonight...

[TheGoldStandard]

So Manu in the starting lineup for game 5

We probably go up big in the 1st and have a close game at the end.

Duncan for sure is motivated. It's all on Green/Mills/Beli/Diaw to show some fire out there. Also Parker needs to stop disappearing in the 2nd half.

That's kind of the problem. Imo. We relied on so many players on our win streak that if even one has a bad night our offense really suffers. Of course the defense looks like shit now too so who knows wtf is going on.

If only one Spur has a bad night they'll win by double digits. It seems like the Spurs have had at least five or six guys underperforming every game of this series. Some of them are outright no-shows. Credit the Mavs' good play for some of that, and the game plan for some more, but most of it is on the guys that are just going out there with no fire and no urgency.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

That's kind of the problem. Imo. We relied on so many players on our win streak that if even one has a bad night our offense really suffers. Of course the defense looks like shit now too so who knows wtf is going on.

The problem is we're playing OKC ball with Tony, Tim, and Manu getting the majority of the shots. This has been a disturbing trend in recent years. All season long we play "open man gets the shot, period" and then in the playoffs our bench players are suddenly relegated to 2 or 3 shot attempts each. How can you expect them to contribute if they know they're only going to get like 3 shots?

If, on the other hand, you think that any guy can get any number of shots on any given night (because the open man gets the shot, period) then it's probably easier to get in a good rhythm because you're not worried about missing 1/3 of your shot attempts if you miss your first 3 pointer.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Well to be fair, part of that is a direct result of Carlisle's defensive scheme. He wants our big three to play hero ball by design.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Switching everything is extremely vulnerable when done against a team of superstars because it leads to really easy isolation plays. The spurs have none. We have borderline all stars leading our group, and we're not an isolation team.

Well if a bench player could hit a shot then this wouldn't be a problem. Good points though.

[Mugen]

[ace3g]

Elliott basically confirmed that the Spurs will defend the pick and roll differently

[jARS mEsH sEt]

I'd like to see more Parker/Leonard pick and roll with Leonard exploiting Ellis in the post. I think we go to that match up like 3 or 4 times per game which isn't enough. If I were Pop, I'd tell Leonard that we plan to play a bit more through him this game and that he should aim for 15-17 shot attempts this game.

Let's go with a steady diet of Parker isolations against a switching big or Leonard postups against Ellis.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

And needless to say, if the Mavericks ever go back to a more traditional defense, then we should absolutely play our usual spurs ball with pick and rolls creating 4 vs 3 matchups that force rotations inside and open up shots for our 3 point shooters.

[Obstructed_View]

WOW, Hawks!!

It's too bad that the Spurs didn't decide to show up in what has been the best first round to the playoffs ever.

[HemisfairArena]

If Pop makes adjustments is gonna be interesting to see what the Big German does. He's basically been below average to this point. Can he pick the slack if Pop changes the game plan?

[Nathan89]

Is it too late to offer coach bud the HC job for the spurs?

[jARS mEsH sEt]

He has it whenever he wants it once Pop retires, assuming R.C. and/or Pop stick around in upper management. Hell, I'm sure Bud has enough pull with Holt also.

[Beaverfuzz]

Defensive rotation is absolute shit. If this continues it's over in five and the band is broken up.

FIX THIS SHIT!

[ElNono]

asleep on D again

[dg7md]

We have no energy at all. This series seems done tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Lol you're all talk, Spurs. ALL TALK.

[Nathan89]

Open shot, oreb, open shot, oreb, :bang

[DapDaGenius]

GOT DAMMIT! Do they never learn to stop leaving that muthafucka open? It's like they want to lose.

[NASpurs]

Complete and utter shit of a team.

[r0drig0lac]

THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS

[Shastafarian]

Seems like they're "pissed off" they have to keep playing.

[crc21209]

Kawhi and Tim missed two easy layups...:td

[Texas_Ranger]

lol Spurs

[RD2191]

So who we drafting?

[Knoxxx]

It's early our major problem so far is horrendous offense, defense has merely been bad.

[KL2]

Please pay attention to how Leonard has been completely ignored this entire game :lol, and people wonder why we lose.

[moisaenz]

bring in baynes..

[SupremeGuy]

Green should be guarding Ellis and Kawhi on Marion, tbh.

[tim_duncan_fan]

You know what guys? If you're gonna play like faggots, just forfeit and go home. Nobody wants to watch this Charmin-ass basketball.

FUCK!

[bklynspursfan]

I thought for sure this team would come out firing and get off to like a 10-2 start or something. Kawhi leaving Calderon, Duncan not dunking the ball there, no fighting for position. Are they trying to test their mental toughness or something and then flip a switch?

[smaka]

backdoor tbh

[TE]

Why the fuck is our transition D so bad? What's so hard about getting back on D when our team doesn't have the mindset to go for offensive rebounds? I mean shit man.

[DPG21920]

Wow - must win game and look at the execution. I have never seen the Spurs so out of sync, so off balance and just a complete lack of focus.

Sloppy TO's, Tim not boxing out, Tim missing layups, Kawhi missing layups, Kawhi leaving Calderon wide open on corner 3. This is really, really poor level of play and I can't believe it considering the position they put themselves in. They need to really wake up and play clean, crisp ball.

[jkid12456]

stfu and believe

[Fireball]

not the start we wanted ... Awful

[Mal]

Still not as bad as Pacers

[weeks]

are we seriously going to flame out worse than the pacers?

c'mon. get it together.

[Captivus]

Green not being a part of the offense again. Lets see what happens.

[superjames1992]

Play Bonner.

[mVp]

Regular season champs tbh

[NASpurs]

Bench all the starters.

[hater]

game ova fellas :lol

[timtonymanu]

Feeling less and less sorry if the Spurs get eliminated. This is just pathetic.

[davidbowie]

I can't watch this shit. I feel like a fuckin pacers fan. Fuck everyone.

[DJR210]

It's oveeeeeeeeeer!! Regular season champs baby!!

[bklynspursfan]

Bench needs to bring that spark. I know Manu will compete... Hopefully the rest of the bench follows his lead. Starters didn't bring anything

[KL2]

Kawhi and Tim missed two easy layups...:td

Leonard had Nowitzki land on his back, should've been a foul.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

What's going on? It's like the entire team has mono and is way slower than they were in the regular season. Either Spurs are not playing near as well as they should be or Mavs flipped the switch in the most impressive way ever.

[Malik Hairston]

Spurs don't look like a team on a mission, tbh, missing layups and not hustling..you would think they would be playing like a desperate team..

[TE]

I wonder what has happened in the locker room. The team looks so out of it tbh.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Why did we even bother to make the playoffs? Just missing draft picks for no fucking reason.

[MI21]

Geez, not a good look so far... Defense looks exactly the same, no different matchups...

[Avitus1]

What the hell are we doing out there?

[RD2191]

3 on every possession! Do it Pop!

[smaka]

Timmy missing layups, Leonard walking away from Ellis, Dalembert owning Duncan. what the fuck

[jkid12456]

we need to put baynes in, need some nasty

[downunder]

This board is full of losers - they would have surrendered at Pearl and we would all be eating sushi. Grow up let the team warm up

[tim_duncan_fan]

Where my nigga Baynes at?

Timmy's playing like a cuckold.

[hater]

Kawhi looks lost out there. leaving Calderon wide open

:pctoss

[Shastafarian]

:lol sweet play call

[TE]

Fucking horrible.

[Beaverfuzz]

Jaime Maggo should be shot.

[Harry Callahan]

The Spurs have literally died out there so far. NO energy at all.

[DJR210]

The Mavericks believe they're better, it's obvious when watching them play.

[Nathan89]

Fuck that shitty fucking jumpshot.

[Knoxxx]

Our entire offense is based on Parker jumpers, wow.

[DPG21920]

Spurs made their money on playing the cleanest ball in the league. They are playing just a filthy brand of basketball.

[dallasmaverickslose]

My goodness, TNT loves the Mavs...

[japre8]

Fvcking horrible start.

[tim_duncan_fan]

The Spurs are about to start drafting some real niggas now. 3 years and we are gonna be fucking dunking!

[r0drig0lac]

so what European player who will never play in the NBA to draft that we this time?

[Beaverfuzz]

Wow, nothing is falling.

[Raven]

smh

[Nathan89]

0 post-ups for Kawhi and counting

[superjames1992]

Enrique looks awful.

[InRareForm]

fuck that

[RD2191]

Rofl Dirk flop

[noles1983]

lol this team
