Spurs vs. Mavericks Dec. 1st -- Game Blog

[ducks]

do not worry tim is shooting 33% and pop will go to him in fourth and not the hot hand

[sandman]

WTF?? Did these announcers NOT know that the Spurs were on offense??

[Dre_7]

NVE repin K-Town baby!!!

[E20]

Nazr Dunk!!

[ducks]

11:45 SA - N. Mohammed dunks the ball. Assist: N. Van Exel

[ducks]

naz has 10 points atleast

[loveforthegame]

These missed ft's have got to stop.

[Dre_7]

Why even go into Rasho offensively?

[Spurologist]

:pctoss FEED DUNCAN THE BALL!!

[xcoriate]

Heres hoping NVE blows up....


and is actually able to stop his man scoring as well.

[ChumpDumper]

Why even go into Rasho offensively?Why bounce passes to his ankles?

Not the first time.

[Horry For 3!]

We need to make some fucking shots

[boutons]

tim great spin moves, misses the layup,

Spurs gone stone cold

[xcoriate]

Rasho is by far the better offensive player than Nazr Dre, come to think of it he is on D as well. All Nazr has is hustle.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Nick just reacted pretty badly to that. I woudln't be surprised to see pop take him out, he doesn't like that shit

[mavsfan1000]

It seems like San Antonio is a little flat. I think Dallas can win this game due to this.

[nkdlunch]

Van Exel fucked up half the 4th quarter

[1Parker1]

Damn, I really thought this game would have been an easy blowout win for the Spurs with Duncan and Parker dominating!

And I have 70k on the Mavs score 91-95 points........!!!!

[xcoriate]

cbf, what happened?

[ducks]

god damm it put tp in

[Cant_Be_Faded]

gayabc

[Dre_7]

Rasho is by far the better offensive player than Rasho Dre, come to think of it he is on D as well. All Nazr has is hustle.

I would hope he is better than himself. :lol

[loveforthegame]

Spurs can't buy a shot. Wide open, layups, jumpers, it doesn't matter they can't make them.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

cbf, what happened?


he got a no-call and yelled at the ref
it wasnt super bad im just sayin he did swing his arm and yell at him, pop doesnt like that kind of stuff

[xcoriate]

I have 70k on the Mavs score 91-95 points........!!!!

consider that gone :lol

[xcoriate]

thanks, doesn't seem like he got T'd up. Guess were lucky.

[Supergirl]

WTF is with Tim? He hasn't made a shot in the half!

[xcoriate]

I would hope he is better than himself. :lol

Dampier sucks at FTs.

[Dre_7]

I miss Manu!

[ChumpDumper]

Tim is effectively neutralized tonight.Fortunately, so is Dirk

[boutons]

Leave Rasho in til he fouls out, 100x better than Nazr.

[1Parker1]

We need some defense!

Someone guard Marquis Daniels! Jeez....I never thought I'd have to say that :spin

[AI-square]

Yeah... this is the kind of game that Manu's penchant for unpredictable brilliance could decide.

[ducks]

duncan needs to kick it up a notch
but duncan usually starts off slow like the spurs

[1Parker1]

I miss Manu!

Me too!

[ducks]

tp should pass to mike for a three

[xcoriate]

Duncan was stunning at the beginning of the season, hes fallen off a bit now.

Someone needs to take over in the 4th. Tony should be the one to do it.

[ca®lo]

damnit!!! spurs cant get a freakin rebound!

[ducks]

4:54 SA - M. Finley misses a 25-foot three-pointer from the left wing

[1Parker1]

[Horry For 3!]

[Slo spurs fan]

Common Spurs!!! I didn't woke up at 2am to see a loss!

[xcoriate]

[Horry For 3!]

[1Parker1]

Finley has taken more shot attempts than Tim!

[sa_butta]

Good now Dallas is missing FT's, but we need another basket.

[loveforthegame]

Wow. KVH just turned that over for no reason.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Spurs just got a HUGE break.....

[sa_butta]

OMG too close for comfort.

[ca®lo]

ok thats it! thats the momentum switch right there! turn over by KVH!!

parker drivesssss yes!!!!!!!!!!

[Horry For 3!]

Spurs just need this one defensive stop and Spurs win.

[boutons]

KEITH!!!! I KISS YOU!!! :lol

[mattyc]

Tooooony.

[Pandaemonaeon]

I hope Finley keeps on shooting. He's always money on the clutch... for the opposing team! :D

[ducks]

:35.3 SA - T. Parker drives to the hoop for a layup
:43.7 DAL - Bad pass by K. Van Horn
:50.9 DAL - D. Harris steals the ball from T. Parker

[SmotPoker]

we got the break?... hey van horn is an idiot. Can't handle the pressure, and what was up with dirk flopping, no one tripped you, you big german bastard.

[Dre_7]

Van Horn :lmao

Earning that big pay check of his! :lmao

[ChumpDumper]

The is no one less clutch than Keith Van Horn.

[nkdlunch]

Man, Tony makes it hard!! First he doesn't pass the ball and fucks it up. And Van Horn bails him out and next play he lays it up.

[1Parker1]

Damn, Parker really wants to win this game...! 28 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists

Come on Timmy, end it now!

[ducks]

if tp hits 30 spurs win

[boutons]

Michael didn't control his body on that missed jumper, he was not squared up.

[loveforthegame]

Parker is out of his mind tonight. He's doing everything he can to win this game. We really got a break with KVH's stupid turnover.

If the Mavs miss, every Spur needs to be after the rebound.

[Slo spurs fan]

Tony, if Spurs will win this game, you CAN and MAY be ballhog :)

[Spurologist]

Keith's The Man

[spursupporter]

Go spurs!!!

[boutons]

+1, Mavs ball, we gotta get a stop!!!

[xcoriate]

Keith is the anti-clutch

[Horry For 3!]

Defense! Defense!

[sa_butta]

Hey Mouse, Toot my Van Horn...

[Supergirl]

M. Daniels makes 1 of 2 FTs, Devin Harris steals the ball, Keith Van Horn turns it over.

Parker makes yet another driving layup, Spurs up 87-86 with 30 seconds to go.

[1Parker1]

I dunno, if Dallas hits this shot, who do the Spurs go to for the last play?

[Horry For 3!]

You HAVE to make these FTs Finley

[Dre_7]

Bowen is the DPOY so far!

[ca®lo]

dirk misses!! yes!! what a huge break!!!

[SmotPoker]

Dirk, what a tool. Good D BRUCE

[1Parker1]

Never mind!!! Dirk misses !

[sa_butta]

Yeeeeeeeeeessssss!!!!!!!!!

[ca®lo]

come on fin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!

[SmotPoker]

look for the quick two.

[xcoriate]

we really should go back to the start of this thread and look at everyone who was bitching about TP.

Suck it up hatahs :lol

[Horry For 3!]

Spurs up by 3 with 22.6 left


Defense!

[ducks]

:22.6 SA - M. Finley hits the first free throw

[loveforthegame]

[nkdlunch]

watching Cuban watch Finley make the freethrows... priceless :lmao :lmao

[boutons]

Mike guts up, hits clutch FTs!!

MARC!!! I KISS YOU!!!! :lol

[Supergirl]

Finley makes 2 clutch FTs. Spurs up by 3. Still 22 seconds left...

[ducks]

I dunno, if Dallas hits this shot, who do the Spurs go to for the last play?

TP drive

also depends on time left

[nkdlunch]

we really should go back to the start of this thread and look at everyone who was bitching about TP.

Suck it up hatahs :lol

Actually he almost fucks the game up, if not for Van Horn :lol

[Slo spurs fan]

we really should go back to the start of this thread and look at everyone who was bitching about TP.

Suck it up hatahs :lol
Go back one page hata :)

[Horry For 3!]

Defense! Defense! Defense!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Bowen is the DPOY so far!


It's Camby's right now.

[DieMrBond]

Who would of thought watching a box score and having to press refresh constantly could be so exciting & nervous!

[Supergirl]

How is it that TD can suck it up this bad and STILL pull a double double (13 and 13)?

[Pandaemonaeon]

So, did Dirk yell at Van Horn again?

[sa_butta]

Oh Shit No

[ca®lo]

is it just me?? or theres completely no spurs interior D???

[ducks]

Actually he almost fucks the game up, if not for Van Horn :lol

duncan, mike and nazr still do not combine for as many points as tp(if you count tp's assist)

[Horry For 3!]

Lets go Finley! Make these!

[SmotPoker]

I knew it

[Dre_7]

I hate Harris right about now!

[loveforthegame]

Shit. Fin misses the first.

[xcoriate]

so what he has one turnover and you guys want to overlook an entire game of stellar play.

Some tools just don't get it.

[nkdlunch]

Actually he almost fucks the game up, if not for Van Horn :lol

:smokin

[1Parker1]

Oh shit! Devin Harris of all people makes driving layup to pull Dallas within 1. And now Finley misses FT!

[nkdlunch]

watching Cuban watch Finley make the freethrows... priceless :lmao :lmao

:smokin

[Horry For 3!]

Defense! Defense!

[boutons]

Robert made huge D mistake, back to the ball, he didn't see the layup coming right at him.

[Spurologist]

Something tells me Dallas will go for the win.

[Supergirl]

Not so clutch - Fin only hits 1 of 2, after a Devin Harris layup, and Spurs are only up by 2 with 18 seconds left....yikes. DEFENSE!

[ca®lo]

clutch time!!!!

[Horry For 3!]

Defense! Defense! Defense! Defense!

[1Parker1]

Damn, should Parker be out there defending since he has 5 fouls? But then again, who does Pop put out instead...NVE or Barry?

[Tek_XX]

Me thinks they are going to Dirk

[Supergirl]

Parker playing most of the fourth quarter with 5 fouls...the kid is growing up.

[Horry For 3!]

Come on Tony! You HAVE to make these 2 fts!

[Dre_7]

Finley should have kept it! Id rather him shoot FTs not TP!

Come on Tony!

[Spurologist]

Parker playing most of the fourth quarter with 5 fouls...the kid is growing up.

Now he must hit some fts

[Tek_XX]

Tony make these free throws please

[ca®lo]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

parker shooting for two!!

time to show that CHIP work tony!!!

lets go spurs!!! come on!!1

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

diemrbond, love your sig, but why isn't Tim IN THE MIDDLE! He's sorta marginalised...

[ducks]

:12.8 SA - T. Parker defensive rebound
:14.9 DAL - D. Harris misses a 17-foot jumper from the right wing

[loveforthegame]

Damn. Finley skies for the rebound again but doesn't get credit for it. Luckily it ended up in Parkers hands.

[Pistons < Spurs]

fouled on a 3??? LOL

[Spurologist]

Barry Is A Fucking Magician

[Horry For 3!]

WTF Barry you fucking idiot

[ducks]

:12.2 SA - T. Parker hits the first free throw

[Tek_XX]

Leave it to brent Barry to fuck it up

[loveforthegame]

Stupid Barry. Holy shit.

He gets ft's.

[Supergirl]

Parker hits 2 clutch FTs, SPurs up by four. That should be the game!

[1Parker1]

<--------------------:elephant!

[Dre_7]

Whottt the hell was that, Barry?!?!?!?!

thank goodness he MISSED!

[ca®lo]

Holy Fuck Dont Tell Me Barry Just Fouled Daniels As He Was Shooting The 3?!?!??!?!?????

[ducks]

:06.1 DAL - M. Daniels offensive rebound
:07.9 DAL - M. Daniels misses a 25-foot three-pointer from the right wing
:12.2 SA - T. Parker hits the second free throw

[Pistons < Spurs]

Travel??? Lol

[DieMrBond]

diemrbond, love your sig, but why isn't Tim IN THE MIDDLE! He's sorta marginalised...

thanks :)

its because i was centering each player to the letter that they were above - i dunno, on second thoughts i probably should of just evenly spaced them, but oh well - you win some, you lose some :)

[1Parker1]

Damn, I'm 1 point away from losing 70K in Vbookie! :(

[Supergirl]

WTF is Barry thinking, fouling him on a 3??????

[ca®lo]

now a turnover!!! OH MY FUCK!

[SmotPoker]

What Kind Of Bullshit Is That?

[Horry For 3!]

That was fucked up by the refs!

Spurs win though 92-90

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

wtf refs???

[loveforthegame]

Bowen you bad ass MF. He blocked Dirk's shot.

[Dre_7]

Holy Fuck Dont Tell Me Barry Just Fouled Daniels As He Was Shooting The 3?!?!??!?!?????

He did, but Spurs just won, barely.

[1Parker1]

Travel??? Lol

OH MY GOSH! This is just one of those games....

[boutons]

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeee

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwww w

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

[Slo spurs fan]

A big fucking YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

[Supergirl]

With the stupid BArry foul and Duncan traveling, the Mavs had a chance to win. But the Spurs escape with the W.

[ca®lo]

game over! spurs win!

what an anti climatic game.

but ill take the win anyhow.

WHEW!!!!!!!!!

how many times did duncan shoot the freakin ball in the 4th?!?

[Dre_7]

Refs shoulda called a foul, but Spurs should hav called a TO.

We win though!

[nkdlunch]

Fucking refs, all Spurs are still pissed even though they won.

[jochhejaam]

What a wild game! Good win Spurs!

[Horry For 3!]

That was a pretty fucked up ending. Refs had some fucked up calls.

[mattyc]

TP won us that game. Hands down.

[sandman]

Was there a little scrum as the game ended? Looked like a few guys were standing chest to chest and Bennet came in to break things up.

[spursupporter]

stupid ref!!!!!

[SmotPoker]

come on, lets not call it a duncan travel, he was pushed, if anything call him out of bounds. Was that salvatore, he hates us, doesn't he?

[xcoriate]

This win is one Parker, he carried the team.

[boutons]

Spurs split @DAL, how sweet is it is!!

[spursupporter]

david stern has to fire some refs....

[E20]

Fuck, Brent Barry Almost Cost Me Vbookie!!!!

[Spurologist]

Bowen must win DPOY this year. Tremendous D on Nowitzki on the last play.

Man, the spurs can give someone a heart attack

[boutons]

Spurs stepped up and hit their FTs in crunch time, missing 10 FTs, win by 2 pts.

[E20]

Parker baby yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOO

Man, spurs are so fucking raw!!

Fuck Salvtore, filthy skank ref. He definetly got a BJ from Cuban. Calling a travel WTF!?

Don't matter SPURS WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:elephant

[mavsfan1000]

Van Horn is a fucking idiot. Trade his ass. :pctoss

[ca®lo]

im happy with the win but not that happy.

i dont like the ending.

come on. duncan isnt stupid enough to travel while the game is on the line!

BOWEN for DPOY!!!

this is clearly his year!

guarding someone way taller than u! mano y mano.

[E20]

Van Horn is a fucking idiot. Trade his ass. :pctoss
God can be a bitch.

Mavs deserve that, only because that foul call on Parker was bull shit on the previous play.

[Tek_XX]

Salvatore wasn't even looking at the push he was looking at Duncans feet.

[Horry For 3!]

Van Horn is a fucking idiot. Trade his ass. :pctoss
:lmao

[Pistons < Spurs]

Good game. Alot of fun to watch.

Dallas's defense is definetly better than it's ever been. They will be a tough challenge all year long for everyone.

Personally I do not like the new TP led offense. He's done very well this year, but I prefer seeing more dependence on Duncan.

Rasho does very well w/ his limited minutes. Need to get him more time, and more offense run through him.

Is it just me, or has Horry not been all that great so far this year?

Nice to see Finley do well. Needs to still do better. His FG% this year has not been very good. (36%)

Where is Udrih?

Where is the interior D?

[sandman]

God can be a bitch.

Mavs deserve that, only because that foul call on Parker was bull shit on the previous play.

Mavs fans can play all the cards they want about injuries, KVH even being allowed to play in the league, and what not, but the fact is...

The Spurs gave them at least 3 if not more chances to win at the end, and they could not do it.

[ducks]

duncan was not feeling it tonight
it was nice to see pop not go to him down the stretch pop 99.9 % goes to duncan in 4

it cost the spurs a game against washington when duncan was 3-15 and tp was hitting 60%

[yeahone]

thats one of the best games for the season

[mavsfan1000]

Well Avery made some bad decisions also like why was Jason Terry inbounding the ball from under the basket and why did they go to Harris? Harris has no midrange game.

[boutons]

damn, the Spurs really came to play tonight.

Now Mavs will carry a doubt ALL FUCKING SEASON,
and are now __2__ games back in SWD.

[E20]

Mavs fans can play all the cards they want about injuries, KVH even being allowed to play in the league, and what not, but the fact is...

The Spurs gave them at least 3 if not more chances to win at the end, and they could not do it.
I'm a Spurs fan :wtf

[boutons]

DECEMBER ROCKS!! :lol :lol :lol :lol

FINALLY the Spurs decide to PLAY BALL

[mavsfan1000]

duncan was not feeling it tonight
it was nice to see pop not go to him down the stretch pop 99.9 % goes to duncan in 4

it cost the spurs a game against washington when duncan was 3-15 and tp was hitting 60%

Neither was Nowitzki. Very similar numbers. Avery should know better not play Van Horn at the end of close games. It seems like the more pressure on Van Horn the more he screws up mentally.

[sandman]

I'm a Spurs fan :wtf

Pre-emptive strike on the Mavs fans who will state that Josh Howard being out and KVH being a dumb-ass in the 4Q is what cost them the game. I was simply pointing out that they had the opportunity to step up and win the game, and they couldn't, so no excuses.

[boutons]

Mavs choked, they aren't tough enough in big games.

Tonight's game was like a playoff game, Mavs make too many errors at the end and couldn't recover. I'll never forget Dirk yelling at Jason for leaving Steve open hit the 3G to eliminate the Mavs last spring.

[Spurologist]

Personally I do not like the new TP led offense. He's done very well this year, but I prefer seeing more dependence on Duncan.


I agree but when Duncan is neutralized like he was today, the spurs have to rely on other to step up. Today it was TP. Glad to see he maintained his aggresiveness in the whole game. TP was critisized last year for not showing up in the 4th, but he has stepped up crunch time this year. Clutch FTs

[ChumpDumper]

Personally I do not like the new TP led offense. He's done very well this year, but I prefer seeing more dependence on Duncan.Not much choice tonight. Mavs denied well.
Rasho does very well w/ his limited minutes. Need to get him more time, and more offense run through him.Definitely involved early nowadays. Apparently tires if used on both sides too much.
Is it just me, or has Horry not been all that great so far this year?I don't think Rob has ever had a great November.
Nice to see Finley do well. Needs to still do better. His FG% this year has not been very good. (36%)Trying too hard. It'll get better.
Where is Udrih?Selling cotton candy to Sequ.
Where is the interior D?You just said Rasho's minutes were limited....

[ploto]

naz has 10 points atleast
But, on a night the Spurs won by 2 points, they were +2 with Rasho in the game and -7 with Nazr, including a third quarter lay-up drill by the Mavericks.

TP was clutch and Bruce was amazing. Tough night for Tim, but equally tough for Dirk. Nice to see the Spurs win a tight one on the road, especially without Manu. Another beautiful start to the game with all the starters again. :)

[mavsfan1000]

damn, the Spurs really came to play tonight.

Now Mavs will carry a doubt ALL FUCKING SEASON,
and are now __2__ games back in SWD.

wow. The mavs lost a game they should've won and now they will carry doubt all season. This game didn't prove anything. The mavs have been doing well in most close games this year because of Dirk and Terry hitting big shots. I just hate losing. :pctoss

[boutons]

"and now they will carry doubt all season"

The Mavs have never gotten past the Spurs. on nbatv, I watched the Mavs disappear and blow a lead in the Game6 of 03 WCF, outscoured something like 6 - 35 in the last qtr. CHOKE!!

now, another "shudda won vs Spurs" BUT THEY DIDN'T.

The doubt is in their hearts, their whole season, even with 60Ws, still depends on getting past the Spurs. AND THEY NEVER HAVE!!!

[Josh810]

How about the move by Avery to intentionally foul Bowen? Didn't exactly work too well did it. :lol

[boutons]

hack-a-Bruce yields ... -2 pts!! :lol

[sandman]

How about the move by Avery to intentionally foul Bowen? Didn't exactly work too well did it. :lol

According to ESPN.com, Spurs shot 66% from the charity stripe while the Mavs were only 69%. Spurs missed 10 and Mavs missed 11, so in the end the FT concerns were neutralized.

[mavsfan1000]

What happened to this being just a December game? I am starting to question AJ's IQ for letting Van Horn in for the final 2 minutes in a close game. Tough coach but bad substitution pattern. go to the clutch players. Van Horn is the opposite of clutch.

[ShoogarBear]

Is it just me, or has Horry not been all that great so far this year?

Horry? In November???

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Dre_7]

I loved watchin Bowen sink both those FTs!

[SmotPoker]

KVH the best player on our team.

[Hatfield]

- KVH was MVP tonight.

- Where was Duncan?

- Parker was HUGE!

- Free throws are still a struggle

- Bowen MVP of NBA

[SmotPoker]

IF bowen doesn't get d-mvp this year, I'm protesting

[mavsfan1000]

I felt like Dallas was going to win this game. I felt like the spurs had no answer for Dirk or Terry but I guess the mavs had no answer for Van Horn. :lol

[DesiSpur_21]

Send Rasho/Nazr for a rebounding guy - They are awful rebounders

Nazr sucks on D

[LilMissSPURfect]

How about the move by Avery to intentionally foul Bowen? Didn't exactly work too well did it. :lol

GET A GRIP AVERY!!!ITS DEC 1ST

[ChumpDumper]

Send Rasho/Nazr for a rebounding guy - They are awful reboundersTheir boards per minute were fine today.
Nazr sucks on DCan't argue with that right now.

[sprrs]

Their boards per minute were fine today.Can't argue with that right now.

The offensive rebounds allowed by the Spurs was horrendous. It's been a problem for them all year and almost caused them a few games.

[ChumpDumper]

I agree with that. Giving Diop a season high wasn't all that great either.

The offensive rebounds allowed by the Spurs was horrendous. It's been a problem for them all year and almost caused them a few games.
Vast majority were when Nazr was in the game-- especially in the first quarter. In 3 1/2 minutes Diop had 5 rebounds-- 3 offensive. For all the rebounds Nazr supposedly gets, he gives up even more.

duncan was not feeling it tonight
it was nice to see pop not go to him down the stretch pop 99.9 % goes to duncan in 4

it cost the spurs a game against washington when duncan was 3-15 and tp was hitting 60%

It's those stupid patches. They should not need some legal dope to get pumped up..

Considering manu apparently didnt play and tim had bad game, you guys should be proud you won this game against really strong mavs team this year.
Now stop bitching and enjoy it ffs, some of you are just dumb...:(
