2014 NBA Playoffs - Round 1, Game 6 - Spurs @ Mavericks

[timtonymanu]

I'm disappointed we haven't figured out a proper counter to Blair. We're letting him dominate out there with the dirty work and hustle.

:lol Blair is the least of my worries.

I'm pissed we haven't stopped Calderon and stopped leaving Carter wide open.

[313]

Manu scoreless

[brucebowensghost]

*of

[itsamanuthree]

Manu has 0 points


He took 2 shots :wakeup

[slick'81]

Parker stuggling to score against one of the worst defensive teams in the playoffs. This was supposed to be an easy matchup for him too. Imagine what Lebron and the Heat would do to Frenchie this year.


Seeing him at times this series that's a scary thought

[Beaverfuzz]

All day Tim...all day

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Nice, early foul on Dalembert. Hopefully refs call a moving screen or two on him.

[PingPong]

Dalembert is dumb as a fuck

[ElNono]

Thank goodness for the FT advantage. Mavs not only shot 50%, but had 12 extra shots than the spurs. 50% FG on 12 shots = 6 points. That's the lead. It's rebounding. Mavs have freaking 9 offensive rebounds and all those extra shots are what is keeping them alive in addition to 44% 3 point shooting. Spurs have limited how many attempts, but they are hitting them at a nice clip.

We need to stop getting burned by their scrubs... I mean, VC hasn't even gone off (yet)

[itsamanuthree]

It's not meant to actually read every shit that is posted in them, just post your reactions and you are great, haha

Haha, yeah, exactly, I figured is more like "catarsis", not sure how you spell that in English :P

[brucebowensghost]

I'm fan till the end..even after rod strckland passes me popcorn

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Ugh Leonard, bad shot.

[TheGoldStandard]

lol Kawhi needs to drive to the basket.

[dg7md]

Go to the basket, Kawhi. You're not a good jumpshooter.

[ace3g]

Ka3!!!

[Beaverfuzz]

KIWI

3333333333

[itsamanuthree]

STOP MAKING THOSE EXTREMELY TOUGH SHOTS NOWITZKIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[ace3g]

Timmy!!!

[dg7md]

Go to the basket, Kawhi. You're not a good jumpshooter.

Nevermind. :lol Good three. He's still not great at the midrange J.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Leonard needs to get hot from outside to force Dirk to guard him on the perimeter.

[superjames1992]

Nice pass by Enrique imho.

[ace3g]

a Green drive!!!!

[dg7md]

Mavs crowd seems a little dead right now. Take advantage.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

If we can only stop NoWIMPzki!

[Raven]

good start

[Cry Havoc]

Green finally having his breakout game!!!

[SpurPadre]

That was Danny's best drive to the hoop I've ever seen.

[Raven]

AND LEAD

[ace3g]

bank is open!!!

[Beaverfuzz]

Kaboom, lead gone.

[TheGoldStandard]

Yes!!!

[Cry Havoc]

There's the lead!!!!!

[Big Empty]

wooohooo

[RD2191]

I TAKE IT BACK TIM DONT RETIRE:cry:cry

[313]

Timmy and Nowimpski with throwback games

[r0drig0lac]

timmy in the job

[TheGoldStandard]

I still can't believe Green got that layup

[Uriel]

I love this team, tbh. :cry

[timtonymanu]

Now that is Spurs basketball.

[ElNono]

keep it close, make them nervous

[PingPong]

Kawhi needs to be a better finisher, because his court vision is limited and he aways go iso. He can't pass or find someone open.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Good play so far, but it's early. Gotta keep up the defensive intensity. If we lose it will be at the hands of Dirk.

[crc21209]

Keep it going keep it going!

[jkid12456]

I TAKE IT BACK TIM DONT RETIRE:cry:cry

:rolleyes

[TDfan2007]

Timmy with a Timmy start to the half. He and Dirk are amazing. It's a shame that one has to lose.

[SpurPadre]

:lol Blair is the least of my worries.

I'm pissed we haven't stopped Calderon and stopped leaving Carter wide open.

I guess my point is that Calderon and Carter are good players, at least...but FUCKING BLAIR?!

[superjames1992]

It would be nice if Manu did something besides foul in the second half, tbh.

[itsamanuthree]

Great Duncan and Green!!

[smaka]

Nowitzki will start to get cold, especially in 4th quarter. Mark my words.

[timtonymanu]

I guess my point is that Calderon and Carter are good players, at least...but FUCKING BLAIR?!

Yeah, but we Spurs fan know he is an empty stats player. Always has been.

[slick'81]

Nowitzki will start to get cold, especially in 4th quarter. Mark my words.


His legs have to go some time

[superjames1992]

Blair has nine boards, but he's 1-6 from the field....

[Cry Havoc]

I guess my point is that Calderon and Carter are good players, at least...but FUCKING BLAIR?!

Blair had a slew of good games for us.

And fucks up every time things get crunchy. It won't be any different here.

[Proxy]

there should be a post up mismatch opportunity every time when Tiago, Timmy, and Kawhi are out there together.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Outside chance Duncan gets a triple double. 4 rebounds and 6 assists away.

[PingPong]

Blair isn't a issue: 1-6 fg already.

[RD2191]

Nowitzki will start to get cold, especially in 4th quarter. Mark my words.
ROFL nice jinx

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

When will Dirk freakin miss?!

[superjames1992]

Enrique 4-13. Stop shooting.

[ace3g]

communicate

[Budkin]

But to have them control most of the quarters of play against us this series is just unexpected. Oh, and OKC and Houston didn't have a 10 game ownage against their respective opponents prior to their 1st round matchups.

This is the playoffs and we're playing a really good team, in the West.

[ElNono]

calderon fouled tony

[naico]

wow huge backourt violation

[r0drig0lac]

this guy dirk...

[ace3g]

Calderon with a "Nash" nose bleed

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

How the heck does Dirk make the toughest shots but miss the easy ones?

[superjames1992]

Tiago with the goods. :tu Per par.

[ace3g]

Splitter!!!!

[smaka]

Wow, that call... lol refs

[BillMc]

Been there? That's my hometown :toast

Yep. I'm an American but I've lived in Europe for 10 years (in Ukraine now). My friend married a Slovenian woman in 2009, so I spent 10 days in Ljubljana around their wedding. Loved it.

[itsamanuthree]

Enrique 4-13. Stop shooting.

Indeed, has been cold from the beggining, don't get it why he simply stops doing it so much

[SpurPadre]

We haven't been able to take advantage when Dirk is caught in a mismatch when he's on D.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Why is Splitter out already?

[Cry Havoc]

Wow, that call... lol refs

Eh they've sucked both ways.

[ace3g]

Operation Post up

[superjames1992]

Yep. I'm an American but I've lived in Europe for 10 years (in Ukraine now). My friend married a Slovenian woman in 2009, so I spent 10 days in Ljubljana around their wedding. Loved it.
Interesting place to live these days........

[Beaverfuzz]

Just keep drawing the fouls on Dork.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Ellis has been getting some lucky bounces on the rim.

[ace3g]

Timmy

[superjames1992]

Why is Splitter out already?
He rests now so that he can come back in in a few minutes and play with the bench per par.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I want a technical on Ellis so badly.

[ace3g]

they are going to count that

[RD2191]

:lolrefs

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

HOW THE F IS THAT A FOUL ON PARKER?!

[313]

Lol refs

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

FLUKE FLUKE FLUKE FLUKE FLUKE

[PingPong]

Why is Splitter out already?

Saving him for the 4th I hope. Game looks easy by now.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i think every shots timmy made today are off of glass

[superjames1992]

Yo, Kawhi, want to guard Ellis, tbh?

[ace3g]

Diaw 2.0

[Beaverfuzz]

Simple suggestion, quit leaving Montae wide open at top of key...or anywhere else.

[Raven]

put green back in

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Refs taking over the fucking game!

[ElNono]

a stop or two would be nice

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

ITS JIMMER VS KAWHI ALL OVER AGAIN

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

WE NEED GREEN!

[RD2191]

FUCK YOU ELLIS YOU PIECE OF SHIT:pctoss

[superjames1992]

Stupid foul by Timmy.

[313]

Dumb foul Timmy

[davidbowie]

GET BONNER IN THERE

[r0drig0lac]

diaw was hacked

[Chinook]

Take out Green and Ellis goes off.

[SpursOwn]

The fucker draws the worst fouls. Fuck him.

[timtonymanu]

Ugh Green needs to be guarding Monta all the time. Leonard sucks at it.

[Uriel]

If we're struggling so hard against Dallas, I fear how much worse we'll fare against Portland.

[JohnnyMax]

if Monta Ellis is doing this to yall. I would hate to see what a more athletic Westbrook does.

[jkid12456]

put patty on monta ellis cuz of the speed

[DapDaGenius]

We need Green. Stupid foul on Timmy. Damn

[Sean Cagney]

Just give up the two points there, no need for these three point plays. This game is nerve racking.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I love Leonard and he's a great defender, but he doesn't stand a chance against Ellis.

[TE]

It's pretty sad how Ellis has torched us. We cannot stop him. Think about what I typed, it sounds absurd.

[crc21209]

Ellis getting calls like he's MVP. Tim gets more contact in the post and Tony does too yet they dont get all these BS calls.

[davidbowie]

Remember when we could've signed Ellis smh

[jkid12456]

danny green on ellis or patty mills

[timtonymanu]

I love Leonard and he's a great defender, but he doesn't stand a chance against Ellis.

He does better against players with size. His guard defense was never great to begin with. Green should always guard the 2's.

[Spursnlego]

Just when you think the tide is gonna change...

[superjames1992]

I love Leonard and he's a great defender, but he doesn't stand a chance against Ellis.
He's too slow to guard athletic 2 guards, per par. He's a good guarder of SFs, but not quick 2s. This has been known, so I don't know why Pop insists on doing this. I think Manu has done a better job than Kawhi on Ellis, tbh.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

put patty on monta ellis cuz of the speed

Do you want to lose?

[smaka]

Yep. I'm an American but I've lived in Europe for 10 years (in Ukraine now). My friend married a Slovenian woman in 2009, so I spent 10 days in Ljubljana around their wedding. Loved it.

Glad you enjoyed it man, it's a nice little city indeed.

[100%duncan]

If we're struggling so hard against Dallas, I fear how much worse we'll fare against Portland.

We have already won in 5 games without the fucking 1.7 by Carter.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Pop trying to hard with the lineups again. Why can't he just stick with what's working?! We got a lead and then he subs.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I guess Manu decided he wants to be irrelevant this game.. and Pop agrees

[Rev Hill]

Will there ever be a carry called on Ellis?? Every time he palms the ball. Completely turning the ball over while dribbling. Easy to freeze people when that is never called.

[ElNono]

don't mind Monta and Dirk doing all the heavy lifting... just don't foul

[ace3g]

ball don't...

[Beaverfuzz]

MANU!

[itsamanuthree]

MANUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[ace3g]

'05 about to take over

[BillMc]

Interesting place to live these days........

Most definitely. I'm in Kharkov, 30 kilometers from the Russian border. I'm a writer so you want to live in "interesting" places.

[superjames1992]

I guess Manu decided he wants to be irrelevant this game.. and Pop agrees
Right on cue. Haha.

[Cry Havoc]

WOW what a take by Manu.

[Beaverfuzz]

KIWI ALL DAY!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Great play Leonard!

[Cry Havoc]

Ellis with the fluke that barely hits rim. :lmao

[Cry Havoc]

What happened to Calderon?

[RD2191]

:lmaorefs

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Great job refs.

[Mal]

Nazi is such a crybaby

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

But seriously, dumb play by Duncan. He doesn't need to swipe, Ellis wasn't making that,

[313]

Lol Timmy with the low bbiq fouls

[superjames1992]

That's the right call. Quit crying.

[PingPong]

OKC would be fucked if they were facing Dallas instead of Memphis. At the end, Dallas is an older and poorer version of okc.

[Beaverfuzz]

Hey Van Gundy... STFU!

[ace3g]

Operation Post up!!!

[Brazil]

Smart Diaw

[ElNono]

make the fucking freebies

[313]

If they're gonna keep doubling Leonard, keep giving Leonard the ball.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

That's the right call. Quit crying.

It was, just dumb of Duncan to hit his arm. Go straight up, Ellis is under the rim, he's not making anything. Duncan should've gone to cover Dalembert cause no way he's scoring.

[itsamanuthree]

Splitter has reeeeeealy steped up his game ugh!!

[Beaverfuzz]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkpyUyCo33I

Here's what I think of you Van Gundy...always and forever

[superjames1992]

Splitter is going HAM from the charity stripe tonight. 9-10! :tu

[ace3g]

Vince missed???

[Captivus]

Kmon Tiago, we need you now! ALL IN!!

[Beaverfuzz]

BORIS MY MAIN MAN!!!

[ace3g]

2.0!!!!!

[itsamanuthree]

MANUUUUUUUUUUU-DIAWWWWWWW

[Malice]

Trying to follow play by play online...and i still cant stomach it!!!!!!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Can Diaw dunk?

[superjames1992]

Enrique 4-14.

[Cry Havoc]

Oh my god Manu is the Manny Pacquiao of passes. From any angle, any time, he hurts you.

[itsamanuthree]

fuck it parker, just killed our momentum

[Otaku]

4-14 TP... he shouldn't take another shot in the whole game.

[SpursOwn]

4/14 Parker. Get your head out of your ass man.

[Brazil]

Stop these fucking long jumpers

[RD2191]

parker and manu smh

[superjames1992]

Damn it, drive that Manu. Ugh.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

can't believe tony bail out dirk by shooting a jumpshot there

[ElNono]

great flop

[Beaverfuzz]

hahahaha, Blair's so frustrated right now. Sucks to be you chump.

[313]

FINALLY THEY CALL IT

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Ugh, we have a chance to really put pressure on them and Parker and Gino take bad shots.

[superjames1992]

Manu drawing offensive fouls per par.

[timtonymanu]

Ugh anytime Parker does that it leads to a basket for the opponent

[PingPong]

Clutch Blair...

:D

[ace3g]

Patty!!!

[Cry Havoc]

DeJuan getting his Blair Bitch Project on.


MILLS.

[Beaverfuzz]

RING IT UP PATTY MILLS!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

A MOVING SCREEN ON DALLAS!!! HALLELUJAH!

[RD2191]

MILLS

[noles1983]

god i hate blair

[smaka]

Finally a moving screen call..

[RD2191]

SMH MILLS

[noles1983]

whenever the spurs appear to be set to just take over, they fuck it up

[Captivus]

Manu can do whatever the fuck he wants...im not complaining. He earned it.

[superjames1992]

Mills with the pass to the phantom player in the corner... :lol

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Damnet Mills.

[ElNono]

that's what happens when you can't move on your screen

[100%duncan]

Oh my god Manu is the Manny Pacquiao of passes. From any angle, any time, he hurts you.

Until Marquez knocked him the fuck out.

[itsamanuthree]

LEONARDDDD

[Captivus]

Manu touched his ding-dong

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Manu can do whatever the fuck he wants...im not complaining. He earned it.
When we're on a run with a 5 point lead, I don't want him to shoot a contested three. I want good ball movement and an open look.

[Uriel]

We have already won in 5 games without the fucking 1.7 by Carter.
Yeah, but you could make a similar case that Dallas should've been up 3-1 heading into Game 5 in San Antonio. Besides, even if that were true, beating them in 5 games is no way indicate of how well they played us. That would've been the toughest 5-game series in franchise history.

[Beaverfuzz]

Spurs are all in the Mavs heads. I love it!

[Raven]

we need to beat them up now that they are weak

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao "it looks like he was fouled and he certainly had a legitimate beef"

Fuck you. the pick pushed Manu into Ellis.

[r0drig0lac]

ginobili doing work

[smaka]

great D by Manu

[brucebowensghost]

I heart refs

[Beaverfuzz]

TIAGO BABY!

[ace3g]

Master Splitter, power

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

AND 1!

[AusSpur]

Van Gundy's commentary has been very supportive of Dallas.

[Cry Havoc]

Splitter!!!!!

[Brazil]

Splitter killing it this serie tbh

[brucebowensghost]

But I hearts litter harder

[Captivus]

Bonner PUSSY!! TAKE THE SHOT!!

[timtonymanu]

Shoot it Bonner damn

[RD2191]

stupid shit manu

[superjames1992]

Damn, Manu just throwing up garbage threes tonight. Be aggressive.

[313]

Splitter doing work

[Beaverfuzz]

hahahaha, Blair can't score over Boner.

[RD2191]

bonner u fucking idiot

[ElNono]

more stops

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

That was clearly off of Marion's leg?!

[Cry Havoc]

That was clearly off of Marion's leg?!

Eh, tough call to make to be honest. Don't blame the refs for missing it.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Not liking the shot selection from Ginobili. He may have played great before, but regardless, it's a new game and he should take better shots. Previous games don't matter. This is a big game and I want good shots.

[itsamanuthree]

Damn, we are so close, just a bit more luck and this is a 10 point game

[100%duncan]

Yeah, but you could make a similar case that Dallas should've been up 3-1 heading into Game 5 in San Antonio.

Game 1: Not a fluke, we carried ourselves back.
Game 2: sure Mavs got that.
Game 3: Lucky 3
Game 4: executed down the stretch should have been what happened in game 3 if they weren't suck lucky fucks.
game 5: Controlled all game.

How would they be up 3-1?

[PingPong]

Game over. Just don't put Belli on court.

[Beaverfuzz]

Mavs are falling apart, finally.

[Brazil]

:lmao Blair

[ace3g]

GOALLLLLLLL

[Raven]

dallas looks without energy

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Nice Blair.

[r0drig0lac]

wow ..great defense

[Cry Havoc]

There's the Blair Bitch Project we know and love!! :lol

[PingPong]

LOL Blair... Best Spurs player.

[exstatic]

That's my BLair...

[itsamanuthree]

Not liking the shot selection from Ginobili. He may have played great before, but regardless, it's a new game and he should take better shots. Previous games don't matter. This is a big game and I want good shots.


I think he is playing well, very well actually, that 3 pointer was a good shot

[Cry Havoc]

CIA Pop with that Blair to Dallas move.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Don't let Dallas have a shot at the end of the quarter.

[davidbowie]

I love that Manu flop on the Blair screen. He had that in his head to do 2 plays prior. Genius.

[Beaverfuzz]

Outscored the Mavs by 11...great quarter!

[smaka]

:lol Blair

[RD2191]

Lets finish this shit!

[Brazil]

Sluggish last possession

[RD2191]

Wow Manu

[Captivus]

When we're on a run with a 5 point lead, I don't want him to shoot a contested three. I want good ball movement and an open look.

When your teammates are to scared to take shots, you have to take them. And no one can complain.

[ElNono]

drive Manu... damn... that shot aint falling today

[superjames1992]

Smh, Manu.... more jump shot BS. Manu and Enrique with garbage games tonight...... and the Spurs are leading. :tu

[Splits]

WTF Manu?

[noles1983]

terrible last play

[313]

Please no more Beli plz

[timtonymanu]

Manu and Parker having awful games yet we are up 5. One more Q, Spurs. Don't lose focus and intensity.

[itsamanuthree]

Well, that last shot was just last resort, you know he would have passed if the opportunity would have been there

[ElNono]

love the defense though... even without Tim out there... keep husting

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I think he is playing well, very well actually, that 3 pointer was a good shot

He's ice cold, he shouldn't be shooting so many threes. We were able to score inside, why is he going away from that?! The ball movement and penetration killed Dallas. Maybe it's harder to drive with Duncan on the bench.

[SpurPadre]

FUCK, can't get over 5. Oh well, I'll take this for now. Good to see Blair regress to the mean.

[dg7md]

Stop taking shots, Manu.
