Spurs vs Mavericks Game Blog 04-07-06

[101A]

You think Pop is doing this "2 minute drill" on purpose?

All of a sudden, points every time down the floor.

[Neuromancer]

So we have to ride an injured Manu here
Pretty dominant, eh?

[MannyIsGod]

The first time Oberto was wide open and pulled a Nazr.I don't give a shit. Timmy needs to man up at some point tonight. Oberto is Oberto.

[Vingianx]

That last shot by Dirk should not have gone in!
i thought it was a put back in by oberto, since i was barely turning to see the tv

[carina_gino20]

is manu hurt?

[wildbill2u]

We're shooting 38% and they are over 50% and we're still in the game.

[Vingianx]

manu is the man if they win tonite

[WalterBenitez]

Manu will sleep in ahospital tonite

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Dirk is having a great game.

[Ginobili_20_gold_medalist]

Ginobili is noticeably hurt...

He's still walking. Give him the ball and move out of the way.

[Vingianx]

Defense

[Tek_XX]

Oberto Tips It In For Mavs

Why did i see the same thing, optical illusion?

[carina_gino20]

where's bruce?

[Chris]

Can i get a double team on Dirk?

[Pandaemonaeon]

Mvp

[Vingianx]

give manu the ball and spread the floor

[Neuromancer]

Dirk is ridiculously hot tonight. He wants it. He plays to the top of his abillity. He takes sick shots. What does duncan do? Dishes to Oberto 5x in a row, then decides to start taking strong shots.

[Horry For 3!]

Come on D!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

where's bruce?

[wildbill2u]

can't trade baskets. need a stop or two

[v2000]

Dirk 4 Mvp!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ginobili_20_gold_medalist]

Can i get a double team on Dirk?

They tried that...ended up with Mavs players so open they could count to 3 and shoot before any Spurs player could rotate.

[Leetonidas]

How can the Spurs deliver this shit to their fans for two straight games on their home floors? What kind of bullshit is this. It's a fucking disgrace to our city.

[Neuromancer]

That was parker, to give him credit, but Dirk was also ridiculously off balance. Very clutch shot by Dirk.

[ShoogarBear]

I don't give a shit. Timmy needs to man up at some point tonight. Oberto is Oberto.
You obviously haven't been paying attention around here. Oberto is the Michael Jordan of centers.

[boutons_]

Spurs not hitting their shots, TOs, and now Manu get hit and is limping badly, but find enough legs to hit 2 FTs.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Why did i see the same thing, optical illusion?i saw it like that too

[aaronstampler]

Why is TP on Dirk?

[Horry For 3!]

Should get NVE in or get Finley for a 3

[v2000]

How can the Spurs deliver this shit to their fans for two straight games on their home floors? What kind of bullshit is this. It's a fucking disgrace to our city.
you are a disgrace to humans.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Right now. There's just enough time to make smart plays. and Hope that Dirk Misses. to pull out the win.

[tim_duncan_fan]

[QUOTE=What does duncan do? Dishes to Oberto 5x in a row, then decides to start taking strong shots.[/QUOTE]

You can give up on Duncan. I have.

[MannyIsGod]

They need to hold Dirk a few times. Easier said than done, but it is what they need to do. They can't let them switch, they need to find someway to stop that even if it means rotations like a crazy.

[Neuromancer]

Why is TP on Dirk?


pick n roll'ed him

[Leetonidas]

you are a disgrace to humans.

You're a disgrace to women.

[MannyIsGod]

Either way, props to Dirk tonight. He's come to play.

[Trifecta]

We need to make a D adjustment or Dirk will milk the rest of this game scoring at the free throw line or outside on TD!!!!

This is the isolation I was concerned with earlier.

Dallas saw something that worked and would not be surprised if they stayed with this formula until SA can stop it!!

[T.F. Storm]

Man, Dirk is on fire. Can he keep it up?

[Neuromancer]

1:49 to go, mavs 89 spurs 84

not looking good

spurs historically stay close in games like these, but never pull it out.

[Tek_XX]

Well pop is going to have to bring something stronger. This isn't working.

[Spurologist]

I still like Td one on one with Dirk. All the shots he has taken have been contested. Props to him for making them. I don't guys like Terry and Stack with WIDE OPEN looks. The mavs have just been on fire tonight.

[dn0]

you can't win a game like this with that duncan, manu the only present on this game.
Tony nowhere to be found.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Freaking Dirk is killing you guys.

[Vingianx]

just forget about dirk

[101A]

2 minute drill. Tellin' you.

[Ginobili_20_gold_medalist]

Told you Parker would do something good :lol

[Vingianx]

get us a stop on D please

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Tony! finally.

[Chris]

To quote Sequspur "Parker just pulled out the big balls."

[Chris]

How bout that block by Gino?

[Neuromancer]

Very very good pick by Desagana Diop. Forced a missmatch. Fortunately, Jason Terry is a worse decision maker than Tony, so jump ball.

[Ginobili_20_gold_medalist]

I was looking for Bowen to "accidentally" kick Terry in the back of the head :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Timmyyy

[101A]

Needed that one

[Chris]

need a stop now!

[Neuromancer]

owned :(

[101A]

Game Over

[Chris]

game over

[carina_gino20]

http://www.nba.com/media/finals2005/Trophy_295_050623.jpg

[ShoogarBear]

Smart foul by TP.

[Neuromancer]

mavs have totally raped us tonight on our homecourt and dictated this entire game with 4 minutes to go in the first half.

Props to AJ.
Props to Dirk.
Props to Howard.

Spurs are not as good as their record indicates.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Fouled the right guy.

[Vingianx]

yess, missed FT by dallas

[milkyway21]

damn, i have a patient, i can't keep up with the blogs.

what's up guys?

who is leading?

[Chris]

travel on tim its over

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

whoever says gameover with 51 seconds left and only 4 down, is not a real basketball fan.

[Ginobili_20_gold_medalist]

sigh...that about sums it up lol.

[Tek_XX]

How fucking embarrasing for you duncan

[Leetonidas]

There's your game, folks.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Ohhh what the hell duncan..

[Neuromancer]

And as if the gods themselves decided to throw some poetic justice into our eyes, Duncan travels with the game on the line.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

ok tim turnover. Nevermind.

[Horry For 3!]

Well Timmy didn't do shit tonight

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i'm already gonna look ahead to next season

[greyforest]

my favorite part was oberto tipping in dirks shot

[Spurologist]

wtf avery. The game is over. YOu won. RUN OUT THE FUCKING CLOCK.

[Neuromancer]

As if getting defensively shoved and dominated by the Mavericks wasn't bad enough, Tim fucking motherfuicking god dammit fucking Duncan travels with the game on the line.

i ask you, fellow fans


How is it metaphysically possible for an entire team to age 5 years in the course of one summer?

[v2000]

FUCK YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

man, what a game. this is one of the best games ive seen all season.

[mavsfan1000]

Ah man the jinxing was a success. :lol

[Vingianx]

well, the offense wasn't on tonite, still can't believe it will be 2 straight at home

[tim_duncan_fan]

http://www.nba.com/media/finals2005/Trophy_295_050623.jpg

In your dreams.

[Pandaemonaeon]

Don't forget to write Dirk on your imaginary MVP ballots people! Great game. Had my heart in knots.

[Spurologist]

Well Timmy didn't do shit tonight

that is an understatement

[Trifecta]

Tim has not been hot all night!!!!

What the heck was going on in POPS head!!!!

Where was NVE???????

[Chris]

i'm already gonna look ahead to next season

WTF we're still in the playoffs. It doesn't matter what seed we're in we can beat any team in the NBA in a 7 game series. Good game Dallas.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

wtf avery. The game is over. YOu won. RUN OUT THE FUCKING CLOCK.

he wants to send a message


he succeeded

[Horry For 3!]

Timmy was shit tonight :pctoss

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

good win mavs,

noone could stop Dirk or Howard (early)

[boutons_]

No SPAM this year, Spurs lose 2 in a row @home in April

[clubalien]

even if we win this game

FIRE POP

[leemajors]

gg mavs, you played a lot better.

[Tek_XX]

tHE SPURS ARE FALLING APART

[SuperManu!!!]

Manu is returning to his playoff style....but what the fuck is wrong with timmy? We need our MVP

[Neuromancer]

I recommend we all gather our resources into compiling a database of old school duncan games, because we're never gonna see that shit again.

I miss the old duncan so much. Even when he had no help.
That was much better than this.

[aaronstampler]

As if getting defensively shoved and dominated by the Mavericks wasn't bad enough, Tim fucking motherfuicking god dammit fucking Duncan travels with the game on the line.

i ask you, fellow fans


How is it metaphysically possible for an entire team to age 5 years in the course of one summer?


Is that like some lame Screamin' A. Smith impersonination?

[Vingianx]

that's ok, good game by dirk and josh, but payback is a bitch in the playoffs

[Trifecta]

SA had their chances tonight!!!!!

Had some defensive lapses down the stretch!

[peskypesky]

sorry if this has been posted before, but a couple of questions:
1. why was oberto on the floor instead of nazr?
2. why was bowen not guarding dirk?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Good Game...Dallas just played better. We made The STUPIDeST MISTAKES WTF??

[boutons_]

How many times? Pistons lose, and Spurs lose one, too.

[Vingianx]

this loss should make us reflect where we stand and what changes are needed

[Neuromancer]

So, I get drunk, watch my fucking team's best two players play like shit and the 3rd best player risk further injury, and then the team get owned, now i have to wake up at 5 for work in the morning.

Gravy.

I sure hope Duncan's lame ass foot heals. We should all pray that it does tonight.

[aaronstampler]

The seeding doesn't even matter anymore. Maybe they should rest Timmy and Manu and even Tony the rest of the way. Their health is more important than seeding. We could beat the Mavs in Dallas...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Nick shoulda taken that 3 not BOWEN

[carina_gino20]

In your dreams.

what is wrong with you? are you ready to give up on this team then?

[Vingianx]

just hope the spurs get the tie breaker at the end

[Horry For 3!]

I still don't think Mavs can beat the Spurs in the playoffs if they meet up

[Neuromancer]

sorry if this has been posted before, but a couple of questions:
1. why was oberto on the floor instead of nazr?
2. why was bowen not guarding dirk?


1) Pop
2) pop/pick n rolls

[boutons_]

Mavs are the better team this year, and no Devin Harris, and no Josh Howard to finish the game.

WGAF? it's only one game :lol

[Tek_XX]

sorry if this has been posted before, but a couple of questions:
1. why was oberto on the floor instead of nazr?
2. why was bowen not guarding dirk?

1.Nazr couldn't do shit
2.Bowens defense doesn't really matter if Dirk can shot over him.

[WalterBenitez]

give manu the ball and spread the floor

They only hear the first part of your sentence

[Ginobili_20_gold_medalist]

Duncan had ONE aggressive move tonight. The rest of the time he looked like he was ready for retirement lol.

[Horry For 3!]

just hope the spurs get the tie breaker at the end
They already had the tie breaker comin into this game win or lose.

[Vingianx]

instant offense in, NVE take the 3, nothing left to lose

[HB22inSA]

0-2 on a 5-game homestand in April.

Oh by the way, Detroit lost to Orlando, which, as soon as that happened, the Spurs were doomed!!!

[carina_gino20]

is manu hurt? think he'll play the next game?

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Pistons and Spurs both lose lets get drunk who is buying??

[WalterBenitez]

POP is STUPID

[SuperManu!!!]

sorry if this has been posted before, but a couple of questions:
1. why was oberto on the floor instead of nazr?
2. why was bowen not guarding dirk?

NAzr kills us with his hands...he cant grab the ball
Bowen is now guarding dirk because of the defense switch between parker and bowen

[101A]

Well, at least I added to my ridiculously low Vbookie total.

This was predictable. Pop not gonna give Avery ANY heads up for the playoffs. AJ not that sophisticated yet. Pop learned it by getting waxed by Phil.

Don't sweat it people.

Look at the Spurs and Mavs respective remaining schedules. This game was meaningless - but will pay dividends when it matters (just like the Sacramento game).

[Neuromancer]

The seeding doesn't even matter anymore. Maybe they should rest Timmy and Manu and even Tony the rest of the way. Their health is more important than seeding. We could beat the Mavs in Dallas...


This is an interesting and valid idea. I say we fucking play our 2nd team the rest of the season, literally, tanking it. I mean we're locked to go into the playoffs.

I know Spurs thrive with homecourt, but with Duncan this hurt, homecourt is not a fucking big deal.

The only negative is our good players getting rusty. We should seriously rethink everything about the team at this point.

Very very very very very huge loss for us tonight.

[Spurologist]

Nick shoulda taken that 3 not BOWEN

Bowen was open and had a good look. It just wasn't meant to be today.

[Vingianx]

first back to back loss in the season and the worst of all at home

[Neuromancer]

Pistons and Spurs both lose lets get drunk who is buying??


As long as you make fun of deutschland dirk, i am

[Horry For 3!]

I still don't think Mavs can beat the Spurs in the playoffs if they meet up

[boutons_]

Spurs got Manu cheap

[mavsfan1000]

Pistons and Spurs both lose lets get drunk who is buying??
I will :lol It's the least I could do. :lmao

[FreshPrince22]

first back to back loss in the season and the worst of all at home

wrong

[Neuromancer]

Mavs are the better team this year, and no Devin Harris, and no Josh Howard to finish the game.

WGAF? it's only one game :lol


boutons__ the multimedia spur

[Vingianx]

that's ok, i still love my spurs, things like these have to happen during the season. To all you mav fans: enjoy this victory because payback is just around the corner, if your guys make it past the 1st round

[101A]

They already had the tie breaker comin into this game win or lose.


No, they've got to beat Memphis and Houston to hold the tie-breaker - but they won't need it (Mavs have are IN Phoenix on the 2nd night of a B2B next week).

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

man these trolls are annoying, Tim Duncan fan and that french fag.

[Tek_XX]

A weeks worth of rest will do not good for Tims foot, he'll be fresh for a game but like usuall he'll go back to being hobbled

[Vingianx]

i'm hungry, what's for dinner?

[clubalien]

tim is just getting to old... last few season i haven;t seen him play like he used to back when we had david


anyways dirk should be the MVP
nash and kobe already have one

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

It was a good game. Dirk was just on fire, and we made too many turnovers in the final stretch.

[spursgurl101]

Spurs lost!! The Mavs beat them 92-86! :(

[carina_gino20]

championsssssssssssssssss lol!

time to pack up lungages for ginobili!

i see you didn't tune in for the game..manu was basically the only spur aside from NVE who didn't flat out suck tonight. he was pretty much the only one who gave a damn

[Chris]

Mouse diss post in 3....2.....1....

[v2000]

They already had the tie breaker comin into this game win or lose.
no they dont. now the mavs have the second tiebreaker. they have a better divisional record.

[ponky]

I will :lol It's the least I could do. :lmao


i'll pitch in the other half, i need some drinks, this game was crazy

[carina_gino20]

no they dont. now the mavs have the second tiebreaker. they have a better divisional record.

not so fast.. we still have the memphis and houston games

[v2000]

that was a HELL of a game. great game by both teams. they both played well on both ends. fortunately, the Mavs came out on top. i cant WAIT till the playoffs. i still dont think the mavs will beat the spurs, but it will be a damn good series.

[Trifecta]

As if getting defensively shoved and dominated by the Mavericks wasn't bad enough, Tim fucking motherfuicking god dammit fucking Duncan travels with the game on the line.

i ask you, fellow fans


How is it metaphysically possible for an entire team to age 5 years in the course of one summer?

You spend your training camp in the Virgin Islands sipping your favorite mixed drinks instead of getting ready for the season!!!

[DannyT]

Good Game...Dallas just played better. We made The STUPIDeST MISTAKES WTF??
very much agreed...there were a few times through out the second half that they cam down lost on offense and came up with bullshit options and forced shots...we lost this game down the strech most def.....and because timmy failed to step up with 20 plus like he USED to gurantee!!!!!
i just hope theres a cure for this foot after the seasons done

[v2000]

not so fast.. we still have the memphis and houston games
you still havent played them. therefore, you are still down in the divisional record.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i see you didn't tune in for the game..manu was basically the only spur aside from NVE who didn't flat out suck tonight. he was pretty much the only one who gave a damn

no surprise there. manu is always the only who gives a damn. our offense is just shit. i dont know how the fuck we led the leage in fg % at some point. we may beat dallas in a 7 game series but there is no fucking way we can beat detroit.

[101A]

no they dont. now the mavs have the second tiebreaker. they have a better divisional record.

Until the Spurs beat Memphis on Sunday - tying the two.

Then, if it comes to it, you prepared to pray Houston can beat the Spurs?

[aaronstampler]

Give the Mavs props, they played hard. I'm not gonna stress about any game before April 22, though. 4 of 7 fellas, that's all that matters.

[v2000]

Until the Spurs beat Memphis on Sunday - tying the two.

Then, if it comes to it, you prepared to pray Houston can beat the Spurs?
haha, you said the Spurs would beat the Mavs tonight. you really should stop making predictions that early.

[carina_gino20]

btw, congrats to the mavs..they beat the Spurs tonight. great game for Nowitski and Howard

[ShoogarBear]

no they dont. now the mavs have the second tiebreaker. they have a better divisional record.
You are truly a prototypical Mavs fan.

Meaning: you don't know shit about basketball.

The second tiebreaker is winning % in the conference.

Quality Control.

[boutons_]

Spurs couldn't get the offense going into Mavs defense, Mavs beat Spurs on both ends @ATT.

Mavs beat Spurs in the paint 36 - 28

Mavs outshot Spurs 51% - 38% (bad Spurs defense, AGAIN!)

Spurs too much in love with the 3G, 10 of 20, 50%, but can't hit layups and FGs.

[Extra Stout]

I'm usually positive, but now my only solace is in alcohol! :drunk

WHEEEEEEEEE!!!!! :drunk

I can see my house from here! :drunk

[ShoogarBear]

its changed you dumbshit.
Dumbshit? Did you go to the web page? I do not think that word means what you think it does.

[v2000]

Quality Control.
you guys are dumb. it has changed. NBA.com hasnt changed it on their website, but i assure you it has changed. earlier, the mavs and spurs were tied, but they had the mavs as #1 because they had the better divsional record. and it was on NBA.com

[carina_gino20]

you still havent played them. therefore, you are still down in the divisional record.

but the tiebreaker is decided at the end of the season

[v2000]

Dumbshit? Did you go to the web page? I do not think that word means what you think it does.
dude, i PROMISE you... it has changed. that is a mistake.

[v2000]

but the tiebreaker is decided at the end of the season
ok... you clearly misunderstood the point. someone else said that even if the spurs lost, they own the second tiebreaker, but they dont.

[Trifecta]

wrong

3rd B2B loss this season I believe.

[Vingianx]

you guys are dumb. it has changed. NBA.com hasnt changed it on their website, but i assure you it has changed. earlier, the mavs and spurs were tied, but they had the mavs as #1 because they had the better divsional record. and it was on NBA.com
just so you know, mavs still down by a game, until we're tied then you can claim the #1 if you hold the tiebreaker

[v2000]

just so you know, mavs still down by a game, until we're tied then you can claim the #1 if you hold the tiebreaker
i know that. i never said they were #1. i just said that they now own the second tiebreaker.

[carina_gino20]

i know that the 2nd tiebreaker is now changed to a better division record...and it is going to be decided at the end of the season.

[v2000]

i know that the 2nd tiebreaker is now changed to a better division record...and it is going to be decided at the end of the season.

Gee, if earlier the Spurs and Mavs were tied, the Spurs would have a 2-1 series edge, so how could they have listed the Mavs ahead of them?

[Trifecta]

No rest for the weary -- Grizzlies come to town Sunday, if SPURS are not careful, they will get jacked again!!

[Don Quixote]

Gang: Another crappy game by the good guys. We lose again. Perhaps my forecast of the Spurs making it to the Finals was a tad optimistic. Do we even make it out of the 2nd round?

My reason? Tim is just not himself. Is he finished as a top player? I know, I know, injuries. But people were saying that about Shaq 3-4 years ago too. If he can just get healthy, they said, Shaq would be right back on top. Fact is, injuries always play a major rôle in limiting players once they get old. So, Tim is clearly past his prime, and without the old Tim, we'll see in the playoffs what we've seen lately in the Seattle, Denver, L.A. Sacramento, and Dallas games.

But ... this notion about the boys not giving a crap, is just plain wrong. They played their hearts out. Unfortunately, it was not (will not be) enough in the playoffs.

Don Quixote

[v2000]

Gee, if earlier the Spurs and Mavs were tied, the Spurs would have a 2-1 series edge, so how could they have listed the Mavs ahead of them?
it was when they were 1-1. just think before you talk, smartass.

[Vingianx]

all i gotta say is SPURS ARE STILL #1

[carina_gino20]

ok. that still is something completely different from what i am talking about. nice try tho.

oh yeah..i forgot..mavsfan have the highest IQ in this forum... :rolleyes

[v2000]

all i gotta say is SPURS ARE STILL #1
thats great. i never said they werent. they most likely will still finish the season #1 in the west. you happy?

[Don Quixote]

Of course ... I said the same kind of stuff last season in the Detroit series and we won!

I still think we're a solid team, but a notch below Detroit & Dallas this year.

[v2000]

oh yeah..i forgot..mavsfan have the highest IQ in this forum... :rolleyes
you're damn right I do.

[Vingianx]

no rings this season, it could happen, but better believe timmy's foot will heal and then.. be afraid be very afraid. and no i'm not talking to mavs but to everyone who doesn't respect the spurs

[mavsfan1000]

Forget this game. The spurs are still the best. Forget what v2000 said.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Forget this game. The spurs are still the best. Forget what v2000 said.


Yeah, but still a great win on the road ...

[v2000]

Forget this game. The spurs are still the best. Forget what v2000 said.
when did I ever say that the Mavs are the best, or that the Spurs arent? you really should try READING my posts.

[anthologyct]

Detroit only needs 3 more wins to secure homecourt throughout

[carina_gino20]

Forget this game. The spurs are still the best. Forget what v2000 said.

i was right...you were jinxing us...:lol congrats to the mavs..

i just don't like it when other fans talk smack after one loss...go post in you own forum then.

[Vingianx]

Yeah, but still a great win on the road ...
confidence booster

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Detroit only needs 3 more wins to secure homecourt throughout


Not 3 wins, a combo of Piston wins and/or Spurs losses...

[mavsfan1000]

This will be a great second round matchup. V2000 is a quitter so I don't know why he is bitching. You already quit on Dallas.

[Vingianx]

i could really go for a piston slump right now

[Don Quixote]

Tim Duncan is finished as a superstar in this league.

HOWEVER, the Spurs have shown good success this year with a more guard-oriented team, less dependent on play in the post. That is where the boys are best anyway, in the backcourt. I'll put Manu, Tony, Fin, Barry, and Nick against any backcourt in the league.

[carina_gino20]

Detroit only needs 3 more wins to secure homecourt throughout

that shouldn't be a problem for Detroit. Spurs still have one more B2B, too.

[101A]

haha, you said the Spurs would beat the Mavs tonight. you really should stop making predictions that early.


This is a pre-playoff game; more about taking notes than taking the "W"

Mavs 98
Spurs 86

Wrong.

I was pretty damned close, actually.

Even doubled my Vbookie tonite; not doubting, but understanding, my Spurs.

[mouse.]

Forget this game. The spurs are still the best. Forget what v2000 said.


Don't ask to get back on the Mav wagon later

[SAGambler]

Give the Mavs props, they played hard. I'm not gonna stress about any game before April 22, though. 4 of 7 fellas, that's all that matters.

Yep. Howard came up big for them the first half that kept them in the game. Without him they lose.

But did the game put him on the injured list again? Looked like he might have pulled a groin muscle or something there towards the end.

And Manu hobbling. Man it was a tough game.

But props to the Mavs. They pulled it out.

Now the Spurs gotta suck it up and go win the rest of em.

[carina_gino20]

Wrong.

I was pretty damned close, actually.

:tu

[Vingianx]

Don't ask to get back on the Mav wagon later

i don't think anyone would want to jump on that wagon, it's full of holes...

[Vingianx]

this game was bad, but it was bad on both ends at the end, the mavs just pulled out the W

[mavsfan1000]

Don't ask to get back on the Mav wagon later
yo man work with me. I am a jinx to whoever I say wins. When the mavs lost I built them up so this time I was on the spurs jock strap and they lost. :lol

[v2000]

i was right...you were jinxing us...:lol congrats to the mavs..

i just don't like it when other fans talk smack after one loss...go post in you own forum then.
where was the smack talk??? show me where i talked smack, or kindly shut the hell up.

[v2000]

This will be a great second round matchup. V2000 is a quitter so I don't know why he is bitching. You already quit on Dallas.
personally, i dont think that the mavs will beat the spurs. it will be a great series, but I dont think they will win. they are capable of it, but I will be shocked if they win the series.

[Vingianx]

spurs are built for post season play, regular season is just extra

[v2000]

Wrong.

I was pretty damned close, actually.

Even doubled my Vbookie tonite; not doubting, but understanding, my Spurs.
oop, my bad man. i got you mixed up with someone else. my apologies.

i never got off. i was never on to begin with. im a mavs fan. thats it. im not a bangwagonner. i will root for the mavs as much as possible, but i still dont think they can beat the spurs.

[v2000]

riiiiight... i was the only mav fan you were bitching about, and now you are going to potentially lie about that? what a douchebag...

yeah, it was noticeable by the bench play tonite that the spurs' bench is superior

useless..if my comment hit you, that's your problem. i'm just saying that i never said it was you.

[mavsfan1000]

Congrats mavs but lets not get cocky but great win here and hopefully Josh Howard is ok.

[Vingianx]

this is getting boring, no more basketball talk only fingers being pointed....see ya i'mout

[v2000]

ok, then who were you referring to? i didnt see anyone talking trash, period. granted, i could have missed a post, but i never saw ANY mavs fan talking trash.

[v2000]

Congrats mavs but lets not get cocky but great win here and hopefully Josh Howard is ok.
i was so freakin scared when i saw howard on the ground. he NEEDS to be healthy.

Props to the Mavs. Way to execute in the 2nd half.

[WalterBenitez]

Detroit only needs 3 more wins to secure homecourt throughout

Back to your little corner ... we handle our own bad game ... you handle yours :D

yeah ... the same goes to the one who put pillows and pijamas in Spurs' Bench :frying:

[ALVAREZ6]

yay.

[mavsfan1000]

Alright man I can't help it. The spurs got owned tonight and I am loving it. :lol

[HB22inSA]

Don't worry, the Spurs will lose those 3 games for Detroit.

That way, the Pistons can take the next 2 weeks off!!!

:lol

[Sacramental]

u guys are lucky the kings moved into 7th.

[E20]

Get over it, it's only one loss..................

[polandprzem]

Get over it, it's only one loss..................

Good.

I thought it was the 18th loss. They must screw something in the nba.com

[loveforthegame]

How important is the Memphis game on Sunday? I'm more nervous about that game than I was the Dallas one. Let's hope the Spurs come out pissed and take care of business. The Mavs won't lose to the Hornets tomorrow night so the Spurs have to win the 2 remaining division games.

that shouldn't be a problem for Detroit. Spurs still have one more B2B, too.
Hey Spurs fans,

Don't despair .... You needn't worry about the Mavs! Come crunch time, I know you'll handle up. I am 100% confident that you'll dispatch them in 6 games, regardless of home court.

So, we'll see you guys at the Finals in Auburn Hills in June. Like gracious hosts, we'll be rollin' out the red carpet for the defending World Champions.

Don't be late!


I'm out,
Like the Mavs' defense come playoff time!
