Game Thread: Spurs @ Mavs — Tue. (3/12) - 7:00/C (3:00am Riga Time)

[SASdynasty!]

These refs are insane. Reminds me of early 2000’s games against Dallas.

[007nites]

fucking faggs

[Dverde]

Spurs are due some calls

[8sy21vd]

shitty calls but just really illustrates we have the worst back court in the league in terms of depth. Nice take by Demar.

[ZeusWillJudge]

White finally back in to close the game. To me that's just more confirmation that he's still on restricted minutes.

[r0drig0lac]

white is a defensive beast

[007nites]

4 Fouls on

LMA
DDR
White
Mills

[Xx_SpursNation_xX]

LMA is such a soft bitch sometimes.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Doncic just waited around till he could get the switch.

[FaM0us Skins]

Derrick White does not lose off the dribble

[phxspurfan]

Mama there go that Latvian

[Ron Swanson]

Davis!

[ZeusWillJudge]

Brilliant D, Patty, you fucking matador.

[8sy21vd]

Bertrans!

[r0drig0lac]

28 in 13 fga for scrubson...wtf

[8sy21vd]

White!

[ZeusWillJudge]

Davis!


That was another great play by White to set up that pass to Bertains in the corner. He knew where he was going with it the whole time.

[Leetonidas]

Doncic choking at the line

[007nites]

BIG shot by Bertans

[Slippy]

Beautiful find by white there. Davis for the three

Brunson for the easy 2 . Cant get stops. Damn it

[r0drig0lac]

Demar!!!

[8sy21vd]

I would rather play 4 on 5 then have mills on the court.

[8sy21vd]

Demar playing like an All-star

[r0drig0lac]

Trae >> Doncic confirmed

[8sy21vd]

off powell finger tips hopefully lol

[ZeusWillJudge]

Beautiful find by white there. Davis for the three

Brunson for the easy 2 . Cant get stops. Damn it

I don't know why White didn't get the AST for that. That's the second they've screwed him out of this game.

[Strategic]

Blue touched it. Spurs ball

[Dverde]

Luka’s chicken wing is getting ridiculous. They need to call that offensive foul. Glad Pop working the official on it.

[Spurs fever]

Some scrub always goes off on the Spurs.

[TE]

Lol that Brunson scrub

[skin27]

White

[sasaint]

I don't know why White didn't get the AST for that. That's the second they've screwed him out of this game.

How do you know he didn't? An obvious assist.

[Strategic]

Kid can’t miss

[ZeusWillJudge]

Luka’s chicken wing is getting ridiculous. They need to call that offensive foul. Glad Pop working the official on it.


Isn't the stiff arm legal for the guy carrying the ball?

[8sy21vd]

White future all-star...yes!

[twincam]

That short dude thinks he’s an all-star

[phxspurfan]

Refs blatantly fixing this

[Slippy]

Love the finish by white sofar in last 2mins. Great looks on offense just cant get stops.

[Spurs fever]

Jesus

[ZeusWillJudge]

LMAO! Zebras again.

[Leetonidas]

Wtf was that?? Is one of the refs fucking Powells mom or what

[sasaint]

3 seconds or foul... either one is bullshit.

[Strategic]

Bullshit call

[8sy21vd]

Jeez! Just hold the ball and run the clock out....dumbos

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

That short dude thinks he’s an all-starMills?

[Slippy]

Thats BS. Wasnt 3 seconds

[sananspursfan21]

Refs are giving it their all aren’t they? 5 point lead feels pretty good right now considering the refs won’t let the Spurs set up any kind of offense

[Leetonidas]

Mills AGAIN with a dumb foul

[phxspurfan]

Mills literally doing nothing out there. Not boxing out or playing d

[sasaint]

Wtf was that?? Is one of the refs fucking Powells mom or what

tbh, I was surprised that we got the ball after Powell's finger touch.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Heh. Doncic with the T-Rex arms on that FT.

[Ron Swanson]

Doncic having a rough night at the FT line.

[Strategic]

Lol

[resistanze]

:lmao Doncic

[Strategic]

Hack a luka. I’m in

[daslicer]

Wtf was that?? Is one of the refs fucking Powells mom or what

His mom died last year.

[twincam]

Wow, choke on national TV

[sasaint]

Refs are giving it their all aren’t they? 5 point lead feels pretty good right now considering the refs won’t let the Spurs set up any kind of offense

What was the spread? Refs have some good money on this one.

[8sy21vd]

Spurs playing stupid down the stretch. Feel bad for Donic. He's clearly not right. The Spurs need to shorten their rotation if they want to make a peep in the playoffs. Mills is a complete disaster.

[140]

D:lolncic

[TheGreatYacht]

Absolute robbery if Trae Young doesn't win ROTY. A lighter skin color and he'd be the runaway and the media would bend over for him

[ZeusWillJudge]

White in Doncic's head. He's done a hell of a job tonight.

[DAF86]

Luka's FT performance is making Shaq blush.

[Strategic]

Donsuck

[paperboy77]

Not much time left but he did have a quick instant to make a decision on the pass. Not surprised at it it happens all the time but still.

[tholdren]

Mills literally doing nothing out there. Not boxing out or playing d

MILLS HAS A HIGHER PLUS MINUS THAN WHITE AND ALDRIDGE. HES BETTER

[GusT15]

What was the spread? Refs have some good money on this one.

Ehm.. 4.5 Mavs underdogs ofc

[Slippy]

Off all the call s to get with 36secs left . 3sec violation is utter Bs.

Spurs got bailed. Thats what happens when you have a midget blocking out a 6foot8 guy on a switch. Easy offensive. Luca saves spurs with the misses

[ZeusWillJudge]

Wtf was that?? Is one of the refs fucking Powells mom or what


His mom died last year.


So we're talking necrophilia?

[sananspursfan21]

What was the spread? Refs have some good money on this one.

Donaghy is out there somewhere smiling :lol

[sasaint]

Ehm.. 4.5 Mavs underdogs ofc

Refs working it. :tu

[Larry O]

LA with the clutch FT!

[sasaint]

MILLS HAS A HIGHER PLUS MINUS THAN WHITE AND ALDRIDGE. HES BETTER

:lmao

[ZeusWillJudge]

OMG. He intentionall fouls DDR, and then comes up whining to the ref about the call? Seriously?

[007nites]

Patty just letting his dude walk past by him time after time

[8sy21vd]

It's funny Mills letting his man go in for the layup so he doesn't foul but that's the same way he plays all game.

[DAF86]

Do you remember the last comfortable road win?

[TheGreatYacht]

Mills better get an F, timvp

[skin27]

Victory!!!!


Now hope the clippers lose

[sasaint]

It's funny Mills letting his man go in for the layup so he doesn't foul but that's the same way he plays all game.

Not so. He holds PFs on dunks to give them and-1s.

I remember we were up 12 or something at Philly with 2mins to go! We won that one with at least 15,right?

[r0drig0lac]

84 points for the big three

[8sy21vd]

Not so. He holds PFs on dunks to give them and-1s.

My bad....you're totally right. It would be and 1 normally. Patty should play that ole defense all the time lol

[sasaint]

Victory!!!!


Now hope the clippers lose

[Texas_Ranger]

Lets go for 10w in a row!

[KimmyGib]

Spurs finish 18/18 from the stripe. Mavs 15/26.

[HankChinaski]

Do you remember the last comfortable road win?

We still have those?

I'll take a road win. Spurs been playing down to weaker opponents all season long. Good to see them walk out with a win.

LMA needs to keep going to that hook. He had a lefty hook early in the first half that was just too good.

[TDomination]

Spurs have gone SPAM!

Dear God,

Please let Rudy miraculously not miss another game the rest of the year and let Patty decide to run for prime minister of Australia tomorrow, announcing his retirement immediately. I promise to donate 10% of my salary to the Church if you make this happen.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Keeping the streak alive - Mavs can give fits, glad to see the good guys come out with a W tonight.

As others have said, Mills was pretty terrible - Derozan played pretty solid on both ends imo, much better than his usual attempt at D.

:spam:

[SASdynasty!]

MILLS HAS A HIGHER PLUS MINUS THAN WHITE AND ALDRIDGE. HES BETTER
That’s what they used to say about Ginobili over Parker even though he was playing against 2nd units lol.

[John B]

1st half was very controlled. I guess we could always expect a run and Spurs didn’t get rattled. Good composure with White, Demar and Aldridge. Great gutsy win!

[ZeusWillJudge]

My bad....you're totally right. It would be and 1 normally. Patty should play that ole defense all the time lol


LMAO. Patty's best defensive contribution was getting out of the way?

[Larry O]

WHEW! Thank goodness that the Mavs missed badly from the FT line or the outcome of this game may have been different! Spurs in 6th place!!! GSG!!!

[Mr. Body]

Spurs finish 18/18 from the stripe. Mavs 15/26.

Spurs are the best FT shooting team in the league this year.

[ceperez]

Well... at least they executed well enough during crunch time.

[sasaint]

Spurs finish 18/18 from the stripe. Mavs 15/26.

yeah, but what were the 3-pt percentages?

[DAF86]

Doncic 1/9 from the line. :lol

[sasaint]

WHEW! Thank goodness that the Mavs missed badly from the FT line or the outcome of this game may have been different! Spurs in 6th place!!! GSG!!!

But on the other hand, weren't they unconscious from 3? Sure seemed like it.

[Mugen]

Some quick thoughts:

-Derrick Fuckin White.
-This team is so terrible at clock management, whether it's mismanaging 2 for 1s every single time or initiating plays at like 17 seconds when they should be using up way more clock. Derozan, White, Patty....all terrible at it tbh.
-I thought Jim Jackson was Chris Webber for 98% of the game
-Greg Anthony is one of the dumbest people walking the earth. The fact that he's effectively the play by play guy when they do this players only bullshit is damning. I'd rather Marv Albert refer to Devin Harris as John Starks the entire game than have to listen to that shit tbh.
-Doncic :lmao

[8sy21vd]

off powell finger tips hopefully lol

[MoSpur02]

Even though the Mavs are last or whatever I still hate that entire franchise. Glad Spurs beat em even though it was ugly. Hopefully Portland beats L.A tonight so that the Spurs take sole possession of 6th place and continue to move up.

[MoSpur02]

Oh yeah the refs sucked tonight.

[Larry O]

Clippers and Blazers playing right now. Blazers loosing right now, but which team would be preferable to loose tonight's game to benefit the Spurs?

The whole seeding situation has become a clusterfuck.

Rockets may end up #2,Nuggets #3,Clippers keep on winning and have an easy schedule,Thunder have the toughest remaining schedule and may drop,Utah is the #8 right now and may end up at #4 with the easiest remaining schedule.

Just stay out of the Warriors bracket and hopefully avoid Rockets in the first round.Besides that nobody can predict what's gonna happen.

Good question a little cushion over the paper clips or a step closer to the blazers???

[SpurPadre]

33, 28, and 23 from 3 of our best players and we only win by 7 against a bottom-feeder. I know we're missing Gay but this whole "we can take 7th seed and beat Denver" is pure fantasy. 4th seed or we aren't doing shit in the playoffs.

Yeah, you can get a good read on someone's life off a post on a message board. :rolleyes You get a life because if you truly had one, you'd know that you can't base a post on a message board (that you are posting in as well) as the basis of whether someone has a life or not. Oh, and this isn't just for rah-rah-rah, blind homer.

We are certainly playing better at a good time in the season. There aren’t often big surprises in the playoffs. Going to be interesting. I’m just enjoy this season because it’s not last season.

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica, Bertans is basically Bonner.

I don’t know, we’ve played great against some good teams and awful against some horrible teams. For whatever reason we are not a good road team, so I’ll agree with you that getting past round 1 of the playoffs will likely require HCA, but I don’t take a lot away from this game. Houston barely squeaked by Dallas the other night, and Carlisle always coaches a great game against Pop. I’ll take this win and not look too deeply into the subtleties, because I don’t think there are many beyond the W.

Checked nba play by play . Pretty sure it was late in the 4th. They recorded it as an assist to White.

How about that Bertans dunk? Sick.

Some people say we should target Denver and i say no because doing things like that might come back to bite us. We have two goals here, stay healthy as you said and keep getting better.
