2014 PLAYOFFSSS! ROUND 1 / GAME 5 @ MAVS AT SAN ANTONIO

[timtonymanu]

Marco, checking in ugh.

[Fireball]

this is how I envisioned the series tbh

[Beaverfuzz]

Vinsanity, nice block on Tim. Younger Tim would have dunked that shit.

[DPG21920]

Wow - Tim that was incredibly weak. Come on.

[Cry Havoc]

What a flopping fuckwad.

[TE]

Are the refs going to give TD some respect!?

[noles1983]

eat shit and die vince

[timtonymanu]

Marco lost Carter already

[Beaverfuzz]

Parker to have leg amputated at the half. It just wasn't meant to be.


:(

[crc21209]

Wright went over Diaw's back!

[Cry Havoc]

Refs starting to get the Mavs back into it.

[Beaverfuzz]

Great hustle Manu.

Way too many timeouts called already, that's four.

[timtonymanu]

How many timeouts in this Q already? :lol

[crc21209]

Finally some good transition D!

[DPG21920]

Winning loose balls, good sign. Beli score check. 11 point lead pre-Beli

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao Ellis trying to take it up against Tim. :lmao

BBIQ of 4. :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Duncan running the floor.. Good shit.. Looked like VC flopped on the foul too

[01Snake]

This Pharrell song is atrocious.

[Uriel]

Ugh, too many timeouts.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Tim's whining is really frustrating when he isn't actually trying during play.

You can't whine for calls when you're not being aggressive!

[testies]

PLEASE DON'T PLAY BELLI

[hater]

:lmao Marco shitting the bed already

[Malik Hairston]

Good transition D from Duncan, nice hustle..

Beli already leaving Carter open, but thankfully they missed:lol..

[loveforthegame]

Guys are engaged, hustling, and not fooling around.

Positive start but they can't afford to let up.

[timtonymanu]

Pharrell is atrocious.

tbh

[bklynspursfan]

I'm looking for Marco to do good things. I know he's due for a good game. 4 games under his belt, it's time. Patty was good last game like Diaw. Manu has been good pretty much all all series. Time for Marco

[Cry Havoc]

Tim's whining is really frustrating when he isn't actually trying during play.

You can't whine for calls when you're not being aggressive!

He was going to the rim and Carter made contact from the elbow to the wrist. Not sure what else Duncan needs to do to get a call there. That was as obvious as a foul gets.

[Malik Hairston]

Tim's whining is really frustrating when he isn't actually trying during play.

You can't whine for calls when you're not being aggressive!

Ya, I've always hated when Tim goes into Harden-mode and plays for fouls instead of scoring, despite being my favorite player, tbh..

[TE]

Was Beli this clueless defensively when he played for Chicago? It seems like he misses his defensive assignment every time when on the floor...

[ElNono]

need to score... these fucks are the worst defense in the NBA... can't settle for clanking long range shit

[Cry Havoc]

need to score... these fucks are the worst defense in the NBA... can't settle for clanking long range shit

22nd, but yeah, among the worst.

[ElNono]

damn it, wide open

[DPG21920]

need to score... these fucks are the worst defense in the NBA... can't settle for clanking long range shit

Keep getting to the rim. If they called a 3 second call on the Mavs every blue moon it would help.

[Beaverfuzz]

Cooling off, need to take it inside.

Yes Vinsanity, you don't get that call because nobody fouled you!

[Raven]

beli making his presence felt BIG time

[DPG21920]

:lmao Marco why the panic?

[Beaverfuzz]

Vince is all over Boris.

[Cry Havoc]

What the fuck. Maybe not give Vince an open 3?

[tim_duncan_fan]

Ya, I've always hated when Tim goes into Harden-mode and plays for fouls instead of scoring, despite being my favorite player, tbh..

It's his one flaw. It's just been exacerbated as he's gotten older.

[ElNono]

I guess we're giving monta the shot

[Darius Bieber]

Belli in, Mavs back in the game.

[crc21209]

Manu with Belinelli-like defense on Ellis! WTF was that!?!?!

[testies]

BELLINELLI LET CARTER TAKE OPEN 3

[Cry Havoc]

So much for the great start. :pctoss

[SpursOwn]

Does anything good happen when Marco is in?

[Raven]

Was Beli this clueless defensively when he played for Chicago? It seems like he misses his defensive assignment every time when on the floor...

yes he was.

[jkid12456]

belli y u do dis

[DPG21920]

The Beli plan: Double digit lead, put him in = Mavs Profit

[Johnny RIngo]

5-0 run for Mavs as soon as Marco came in. Dude sucks ass.

[Beaverfuzz]

This rate, both teams will be out of time outs in the third quarter.

[TE]

Giving that thug looking mongoloid an open mid range J is asking for it.

[superjames1992]

TOO MANY TIMEOUTS.

[bklynspursfan]

Defense......... Need to contest better.

[Uriel]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many timeouts.

[timtonymanu]

Can we sit Marco down now before they take the lead?

[Cry Havoc]

Belli in, Mavs back in the game.

Other than him missing a really tough shot which wasn't his fault, this has nothing to do with Beli.

[testies]

Bellinelli had open 3, why the fuck didn't he shoot, thats his only purpose

[servalli]

Fuck Belli

[testies]

Other than him missing a really tough shot which wasn't his fault, this has nothing to do with Beli.

he's guarding carter who had open 3

[TE]

yes he was.
Do you follow Beli because you're Italian? Jw

[Salty]

Belli's +/- this series tells us a lot tbh. Offense stagnates whenever he enters the game for whatever reason, not to mention his D

[Hoops Czar]

Too many uncontested shots.

[ElNono]

It's really the offense... guys that made easy shots are missing them

[Capster]

Anyone on NBA.COM......NO STATS!!!

[Uriel]

Feels like we should be up 20 right now, if only it weren't for that momentum stopping official's timeout earlier in the game.

[DPG21920]

Boris needs to put VC in the hurt locker. Why he's fading away is beyond me.

[Malik Hairston]

Just give Leonard 10 minutes per quarter, tbh..

[hater]

Marco is finished. Bench him for good. Play COJO :pctoss

[Johnny RIngo]

Marco's a mentally soft faggot. Belongs on lottery teams just like Neal. Unfortunately, he's here for another year.

[crc21209]

Alright close out the quarter well Spurs..

[loveforthegame]

Just give Leonard 10 minutes per quarter, tbh..

[Beaverfuzz]

MANU FOR ##########33333333

[ElNono]

there we go

[DPG21920]

Hopefully that opens up the drive game for Manu.

[Cry Havoc]

Manu still steadying the ship. BIG THREE.

[Johnny RIngo]

Vince scores again on Marco

[Beaverfuzz]

Ok Vince hit his magic shot tonight already...he's done.

[crc21209]

What a lucky old fuck..

[DPG21920]

f*cking garbage.

[ElNono]

VC hitting every fluky shot

[Cry Havoc]

Carter with the biggest bullshit shot of the night.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Belli can do things right and yet it still hurts the team rofl

[loveforthegame]

:bang

[timtonymanu]

Goddamnit Pop, stop playing Marco.

[TE]

Fluke show continues

[DPG21920]

Belinelli has to be benched. I don't know what Pop is seeing here.

[SpursOwn]

LOL Vince ballin out. Washed up dude has had such a lucky series.

[Cry Havoc]

Go the fuck away Dallas.

[noles1983]

lmfao beli, gtfo

[testies]

belinelli

[DPG21920]

Manu settling too much.

[TE]

Belinelli has to be benched. I don't know what Pop is seeing here.
Agreed

[dbreiden83080]

Manu you can shoot more than 3's..

[Uriel]

These jokers are hitting a bunch of fluke shots and playing out of their minds!

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

MANU!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

:lol Harris back to being a fluky POS

[The_Coyote]

ROFL that picture of Sean

[dbreiden83080]

No good..

[DPG21920]

:lmao that fluky garbage by Harris. Two 3's for that type of shooter.

[Darius Bieber]

LOL only up 1

[noles1983]

never seen a luckier team

[TE]

rofl Devin Harris jacking up trash shot and scoring at will. GTFO you fucking washed up scrub

[superjames1992]

That wasn't a shooting foul?

Devin the scrub going off...


Aaaa so close Manu.

[loveforthegame]

Fluky shots. smh

[Beaverfuzz]

THAT BASKET IS GOOD!

That's what you get for using the TNT clock vs the official clock.

[Malik Hairston]

I don't understand how a 30% shooter like Harris continues to make 3s off the dribble in this series:lol..by far the flukiest shit in this series, tbh..

[timtonymanu]

Beli checks in and the Mavs make a run. Enough with the fascination for this POS, Pop.

[dbreiden83080]

Well so much for an easy win..

Another dog fight tonight..

[DatBoyGood]

Well thank the bench mob for letting Mavs back in this. Gotta play better D

[Johnny RIngo]

11 point lead completely evaporated ever since that Italian faggot entered the game

[playblair]

beli.................:depressed

[Capster]

WTF.....anyone on nba.com???? guess they don't know the game started.......NO STATS!!!

[ElNono]

ugh... hate to have to survive bullshit shooting

[Mal]

I hope Devin Harris dies in pain

[DPG21920]

Hopefully Harris feels like a million bucks and keeps shooting those shots.

[Salty]

Mavs hit a couple of fluky shots, Spurs will be fine.

[Raven]

Do you follow Beli because you're Italian? Jw

i'm slovenian actually, living right above the border though. I speak perfect italian and i could actually be considered as italian minority if i wanted. Long story short, i've been watching bargnani and belinelli since long before they came to the nba and been watching them since, at some point it was because they were the most cancerous players i've ever seen being hyped.

[SpursOwn]

So they hit with a second to win, and we miss out by .1 secs. Sounds right for this series. Fucking lucky motherfuckers.

[TE]

This is why the Spurs can't take it easy at all this series. Even when they have a lead, this flukey shit will continue to happen

[testies]

two open 3s were on marco

[Baam]

Lol Pop with the 3 defensive liabilities lineups... Beli and Mills shouldn't play at the same time...

[Malik Hairston]

Kawhi is 22 years old, he needs to take all Marco's minutes if Pop doesn't trust Green, tbh..

[Cry Havoc]

Fuck the Mavs and their fluky bullshit. It will come back to haunt them.

[timtonymanu]

LOL only up 1

Belinelli being a useless twat and Devin Harris thinking he's an all star again caused that.

[Texas_Ranger]

thanx Marco

[testies]

Turkoglu >>>>> Marco

[crc21209]

That shit end to that quarter was on Manu's shit shot selection, Belinelli's crap defense, and two big bullshit shots by Carter and Harris..

[DPG21920]

If that stretch wasn't the final straw with Beli (which I doubt) Pop deserves a lot of criticism.

[Capster]

WTF.....anyone on nba.com???? guess they don't know the game started.......NO STATS!!!

Stats just came up a second ago! DUH!!!!

[daslicer]

Carter and Harris are hitting fluky shots again this is pretty frustrating.

[Darius Bieber]

Belinelli being a useless twat and Devin Harris thinking he's an all star again caused that.

Yeah.. Like I said before.. Belli is = Mavs run... Always been like that.

[Fireball]

Dallas already needs miracle shots to stay in the game ... hopefully Harris cools off

[Raven]

Marco is finished. Bench him for good. Play COJO :pctoss

i'm still waiting for you to suck my metaphorical cock tbh.

[ElNono]

to be fair, Harris making 3s and Carter hitting circus shots don't really have much to do with Belli...

[freetiago]

only reason Mavs are in the series is because theyve been unrealisticly hot from outside the whole series

[servalli]

Belli = Game over

[DPG21920]

to be fair, Harris making 3s and Carter hitting circus shots don't really have much to do with Belli...

He throws off all the defense and missed all his looks offensively.

[Beaverfuzz]

Tiago baby

[Uriel]

Devin Harris, a 30% 3-point shooter, is suddenly making 3-point shots in transition off the dribble with a hand in his face.

[Rito3d30]

WTF happnened to Marco

[Fireball]

That shit end to that quarter was on Manu's shit shot selection, Belinelli's crap defense, and two big bullshit shots by Carter and Harris.. if two for one means taking two bad shots instead of one good shot, I am not a fan of that ... why wasnt that free throws anyways?

[Malik Hairston]

Manu/Splitter pick&roll has destroyed Dallas all series, tbh..

[Cry Havoc]

There we go Splitter!

[Johnny RIngo]

Hated the Belinelli signing from day one. A career negative-impact player doesn't just become good overnight. He's still the same crappy Marco. No different than Gary. Difference is Neal at least took charges and was cheap as hell while Marco cost us the MLE..

[Beaverfuzz]

look at that flick of the wrist by Splitter! lol

[Cry Havoc]

Splitter again!

[Beaverfuzz]

hand is part of the ball, neck bone is connected to the knee bone Dirk.

[dbreiden83080]

Boy this crowd sucks compared to Dallas's crowd..

[Beaverfuzz]

MANU

[TE]

Manu!!

[noles1983]

serious question, can dirk make a mid range jumpshut without fading away? pussy

[Darius Bieber]

Boy this crowd sucks compared to Dallas's crowd..

Might be the early start.

[DPG21920]

Manu playing smooth. He just has to stop settling for the 3 as much. Let those come more organically.

[Cry Havoc]

Manu continuing to just destroy Dallas.

[DatBoyGood]

Its really great to see Manu play well consistently this series

[TE]

Play some fucking defense

[Salty]

Splitter needs to start going up strong

[Beaverfuzz]

Little dipsy foo for Boris

[ElNono]

need stops

[Cry Havoc]

Boris!!!!

[TE]

Fuck!!!

[Johnny RIngo]

WTF happnened to Marco

Nothing happened to him. Marco's always been this shitty.

[Beaverfuzz]

Marco....Go sit downo!!!

[timtonymanu]

The bench has regressed again and Harris is still being flukey. Pick it up.

[TE]

Beli is straight up trash. This defense is just atrocious.

[DatBoyGood]

Sigh..

[ElNono]

wtf that defense

[Malik Hairston]

How do you allow Devin Harris to go coast-to-coast and not stop the ball?:lol..it's like the 3rd time this series..

[Cry Havoc]

Devin "I shit myself against every team in the league but the Spurs" Harris.

[DPG21920]

Wow, Beli is just so terrible this series. It's mind numbing how poorly he's playing. No defense, no movement/energy on offense and his shot isn't even anywhere close to being good.

[DatBoyGood]

Let Kawhi and Danny eat up Beli's minutes

[Darius McCrary]

Bellinelli is total total GARBAGE

[Mugen]

:lol How is Beli still getting minutes tbh?

[Salty]

Green needs to get Belli's minutes, at least he can play D and make his cuts.

[Uriel]

So we keep missing easy shots and they keep making fluke shots. You'd have to think we'd progress to the mean at some point.

[loveforthegame]

Marco in the worst funk. So hard to watch.

[testies]

POP WHY ARE YOU KEEPING MARCO ON

[daslicer]

Mills and Belli have been garbage throughout this series. Both of these guys are useless if they are not hitting shots.

[crc21209]

I don't get Belinelli's defense. He jumped at Harris kind of sort of contesting, but at the same time he's jumping away from him. :lol What kind of shit is that?

[RD2191]

:lmaoMills
:lmaoDPG
:lmaojkid
:lmaoMidgets

[ManuManu]

Devin Harris really is a terrible offensive player. It's so frustrating to see him torch us.

[Darius McCrary]

Devin "I shit myself against every team in the league but the Spurs" Harris.
We keep letting him go coast to coast too

[Beaverfuzz]

Mills and Belli have been garbage throughout this series. Both of these guys are useless if they are not hitting shots.

Wouldn't that apply to just about everyone else on the team?

[Fireball]

this game has lost its intensity ... that does not work in our favor

[Hoops Czar]

Patty shit is geting abused and Belinelli is just complete garbage.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Pop's fascination with Belinelli.

Makes his love-fest with Finley look less bad, at least Finley could knock down 3's.

[Johnny RIngo]

Still don't understand how Green/Leonard aren't getting ALL of Marco's minutes. Belli's worse than RJ and Hedo.

[Malik Hairston]

We all knew Beli's defense is terrible, but how is he missing wide-open shots?..he's usually wet any time he has his feet set, tbh..

[Fireball]

pop, why is Kawhi not playing 40 minutes? marco sucks right now ...

[crc21209]

At this point I'd wanna see Daye out there instead of Belinelli. Fuck it..

[Cry Havoc]

We keep letting him go coast to coast too

Against any other team he'd see the open lane, dribble the ball off his foot, and then piss all over the court.

[ElNono]

Pop is playing with fire too... even if he's just playing these awful guys to rest Tim and Tony, this is the season on the line... you don't want to be in a close game with shooter like Dirk at the end

[servalli]

:bang

[TE]

Beli doesn't seem to be anywhere near getting out of this funk. Pop is a HOF coach, I'm sure he sees this trash.

[hater]

We all knew Beli's defense is terrible, but how is he missing wide-open shots?..he's usually wet any time he has his feet set, tbh..

dude is mentally done for the series. It's evident to everyone except to Pop apparently.

It's obvious he's asking to be benched. bench him. Play Cojo

[Raven]

I don't get Belinelli's defense. He jumped at Harris kind of sort of contesting, but at the same time he's jumping away from him. :lol What kind of shit is that?

been saying the whole year tbh :lol calling him a high bbiq player was the worst of the worst :lol

[timtonymanu]

:( nostalgia

[Capster]

Patty shit is geting abused and Belinelli is just complete garbage.

WOW......thanks for the words of wisdom!
Seriously WTF??????

[daslicer]

Wouldn't that apply to just about everyone else on the team?

No not the starters since guys like Kawhi and Green can play defense when their shots are not falling. The problem with Mills and Belli is they are both awful defenders so when their shots are not going down they become huge liabilities out there.

[Beaverfuzz]

Sky hook it Boris, all night long.

[TE]

Boris!

[Cry Havoc]

BORIS AGAIN!

[DPG21920]

Pop is playing with fire too... even if he's just playing these awful guys to rest Tim and Tony, this is the season on the line... you don't want to be in a close game with shooter like Dirk at the end

Yup. Pop isn't dumb. He knows Beli is killing them. He's just buying rest especially when the Spurs get leads. Almost killed them in game 4. He's sticking with that strategy.

How come DG gets the hook so fast but not Beli? That's your answer.

[TE]

My god

[timtonymanu]

:lol Belinelli still playing

[loveforthegame]

Diaw can do that all night long.

[DPG21920]

They are absolutely scorching from 3.

[Hoops Czar]

Mills on Dirk. Unreal.

[crc21209]

Keep it up Diaw! :tu

[noles1983]

carter burn in hell

[Cry Havoc]

Fuck the Mavs. 6/7 from three. Fucking fluky ass bullshit. GTFO.

[TE]

They have to miss at some point.

[Johnny RIngo]

Beli doesn't seem to be anywhere near getting out of this funk. Pop is a HOF coach, I'm sure he sees this trash.

Pop hasn't been the same since Avery Johnson outcoched him in 2006. Ever since, he's fallen in love with mentally soft players like Bonner, Marco, Jefferson, Mason, etc.

[Hoops Czar]

My god

God needs to sit.

[Texas_Ranger]

Devin Harris and Vince Carter are owning us in 2014... pathetic

[ElNono]

hopefully Tony didn't blow his wad in the 1st quarter

[TE]

There u go beli

[Salty]

there's that spicy meatball

[DPG21920]

Spurs defense is alarmingly bad. Finally Marco.

[crc21209]

Finally Beli!

[loveforthegame]

Marco finally!!

[Cry Havoc]

MARCO!! FINALLY!!!!

[TE]

Wow

[DPG21920]

:lmao this fluky shooting.

[superjames1992]

Finally Belli.

Damn, only a two.

[Malik Hairston]

Ugh..Marco finally makes a shot, but then he leaves Carter wide open:lol..

[RD2191]

Keep posting in this thread if you want the Spurs to lose.

[Hoops Czar]

Lol Marco. Deer in headlights

[noles1983]

lmao carter sold his soul

[Cry Havoc]

Fuck you Vince.

[superjames1992]

WTF, these rims hate us.

Ugh, Kawhi.

[loveforthegame]

What the actual fluck.

[DPG21920]

Wow, Kawhi, what an awful decision. Tim with an awful shot with Boris WIDE OPEN under the rim.

[Malik Hairston]

Why did Diaw pass the ball away when he was being guarded by Ellis in the post?:lol..

[The_Coyote]

Vince ya done fucked up

[ManuManu]

Great, Bonner coming...

[capek]

good to see Beli finally knock one down. hopefully that gets him going :tu

[superjames1992]

LOL, how did they call that Belli shot a 2? It's an obvious 3.

[TE]

It's like the Mavs did some voodoo ish with the ball. Made love to it and erything.

[crc21209]

Vince Carter needs to come back down to Earth. Cocky shit isnt this good..

[timtonymanu]

If only the Spurs had a perimeter defender sitting on the bench to check guys like Vince Carter. Pop seems to have forgot about him.

[noles1983]

gonna get ugly when the mavs start missing

[Shaolin-Style]

That was no where near the line do they need spectacles. Clear 3.

[Cry Havoc]

Mavs shooting an ungodly percent from 3 and they still can't take the lead against us. Good signs, guys, there's no way they keep that up.

[Mal]

So tonight is Carter and Harris...

[daslicer]

Mavs are on fire from 3 point land that is how they are staying in this game.

[Hoops Czar]

If Marco can't stay with Carter's slow ass, then, he can't guard anyone.

[MeloHype]

Where the hell is green? He made a 3 and went to the bench, never came back

[Uriel]

The formula for a lesser team to kill a giant is to hit shots at an unbelievable rate. Such shooting is usually unsustainable over the course of a 7-game series, but the Mavericks are proving otherwise.

[Raven]

No not the starters since guys like Kawhi and Green can play defense when their shots are not falling. The problem with Mills and Belli is they are both awful defenders so when their shots are not going down they become huge liabilities out there.

imho mills can't be compared with belinelli, mills can guard his man when he is not just badly undersized or just too fast. The problem is that at this point almost any starting pg is either a or b, so that sucks. OTOH belinelli is just fucking stupid and lazy on top of being unathletic..
