Spurs vs Mavericks Game 1 -- Game Blog

[Kori Ellis]

I'm making this thread now so that I don't forget in the morning before I leave for the game.

Please try to behave yourselves :lol

Hopefully Parker is healing nicely right now.

Why a medallion image with Tim whining to the refs? :lol


Let's get this series started off on the right $500 basketball shoe'd foot.

===================

"... damned is he who, in the name

of Rings and The Right Way, shepherded

the low seeds through the valley of

early rounds. And I will strike down

upon thee with great vengeance and

furious anger those who attempt to

upset and destroy my Repeat.

And you will know I am the Champion

when I lay my defense upon you."

I recorded the 03 WCF when it was replayed on NBA TV a few weeks ago. I thought Kerr hit all his 3Gs in the 4th, but he hit his first at the end of the 3rd, and SJax also hit a couple in that stretch.

As entertaining as the 3G hammers were, the Spurs' defense in the 4th showed no pity.

[Obstructed_View]

http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/383/untitled24th.png
Given Timmy's expression, I think the caption inside this should read "FIBA sucks".

[JohnMcClane]

Dirk's smilin because Bowen is in a child's safety seat in that picture.

This is my favorite new NBA delusion -- that Bowen can guard Dirk. Not without 4 other Spurs he can't. Bowen is completely outmatched one-on-one against Dirk.

Dirk should be able to toy with Bowen, he has like 6 inches on him.

As entertaining as the 3G hammers were, the Spurs' defense in the 4th showed no pity.
And Manu started off the threes, IIRC. The championship DVD has the end of each clinching game. Since that's the only time the '03 team played to their potential, it's a blast to watch. I think Kerr's defense in that stretch was just as important as his shots because of what it did for the team and to the opponent.

[Obstructed_View]

This is my favorite new NBA delusion -- that Bowen can guard Dirk. Not without 4 other Spurs he can't. Bowen is completely outmatched one-on-one against Dirk.
That's exactly right. Dirk is supposedly an MVP candidate. There is absolutely no reason he shouldn't have his way with Bowen through the entire series.

[Joepa]

That's exactly right. Dirk is supposedly an MVP candidate. There is absolutely no reason he shouldn't have his way with Bowen through the entire series.

Now watch as Dirk chokes again and gets owned this series.

Spurs in 7.

[Vashner]

GO SPURS GO... kick em' in the nads!

[JohnMcClane]

Well.. unfortuantely your team won't play Dirk one-on-one.. and you have a pretty good team defense. It's just like Dirk in the Rockets series last season, it wasn't Ryan Bowen or Tmac that was hurting Dirk.. it was the entire Rockets defense, his teammates underperforming and Avery's coaching. Hopefully all of those things have changed this time around.

[loveforthegame]

I'm sick of reading on the Mavs board about how they'll take game 1 because the Spurs are old and tired.

I'd love nothing more than to see the Spurs come out with a hop to their step and a gleam in their eye.

Go Spurs Go.

[loveforthegame]

So the whole ABC crew just picked the Mavs to win the first game.

Prove those bitches wrong.

[DDS4]

So the whole ABC crew just picked the Mavs to win the first game.

Prove those bitches wrong.

Funny how the segment was about how to stop the Mav's big 3. I think our big 3 has accomplished a little more than they have.

[boutons_]

NBA TV had a big segment with fancy graphics showing how tough Dirk was in his "comfor t zone" around the free throw line and the elbows. Sure looks like everybody's going for the Mavs.

I guess we'll have to hear all game from Hubie "You gotta love how the Mavs ...." :lol

[jn77]

2 hours from mavs domination in game 1.

Yes, folks proof of passion over brains! Spurs by six

Nice start guys lets keep it up!!!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

They';re Scared

They're Scared I Saiddd!!!!

[Spurologist]

FUCK THAT. The media is all over how the mavs got rest and they should win. Now it will be about how they were rusty.

[Leetonidas]

Tony went right at Dirk. He's as soft as ever. :smokin

[DDS4]

Nice start. Still got some leftover mojo from the Kings series.

[jn77]

screw that..spurs in 4 :smokin
GO SPURS GO

I meant Spurs by six TODAY!! :)

[jn77]

Mavs lookin a little slow

[JoeChalupa]

Take it to the hole!

[mouse]

Dam Parker is one cocky bastard. borderline ball hog.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Mavs look a little rusty...

[Cant_Be_Faded]

actually dallas morning news started saying their rest was too long late last week

[greyforest]

off to a good start

7-2 spurs ball

[ca®lo]

fuck it.

theyre not showing the game here.

its down to courtside live (nba.com) again for me

[JoeChalupa]

There you go.

[Spurologist]

STFU walton. TD hands was down

[mouse]

Spurs are going to burn out by the 3rd quarter if they keep this up.

[Mr Dio]

Walton is such a FUCK.

Why can't David Robinson be a fan of the sport?

[JoeChalupa]

Yes!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Scarfed

[Spurologist]

TD has come to play

[Mr Dio]

Dallas' big men will be fouled out by 3rd qtr if they keep this up.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Tirico is spot-on about a grown man wearing another man's jersey...

[mouse]

That was a jump ball, Good to see the spurs pay off the refs

[mouse]

You can't fuck with Zee German :smokin

[Samr]

Duncan on fire

[JoeChalupa]

Cuban gave them free airline tickets

[Cant_Be_Faded]

mouse = spurs fan

[loveforthegame]

Shit. 2 fouls on Bowen.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

FINLEY in

STACK in for mav

[Samr]

Buy or Sell: Dirk's face should be blurred for inappropriate content

[Samr]

Duncan is the key to the game, but Finley is the WD-40

[mouse]

Dam Dirk make the free throw you Nazi Bastard!

[greyforest]

fuck it.

theyre not showing the game here.

its down to courtside live (nba.com) again for me


what the fuck? the sunday morning at 12:00pm lineup far too amazing to interrupt with spurs playoffs?

here in san antonio, "first baptist church of san antonio" had to be pre-empted :fro :smokin

[Cant_Be_Faded]

god fuckign dmanit rasho is in the game

[loveforthegame]

I don't like those 3's by Ginobli.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

rasho already got 1 rebound stolen from him

[mouse]

That big nose Time Warner wet back is off today :lmao

[Samr]

Rasho makes me sleepy

[JoeChalupa]

Take it inside I tell ya.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Rasho in the game on accident for one fucking play and look what happens

[mouse]

Cha!












Ching!

[Tek_XX]

Again if Finley isn't shooting then there's no point to having him on the floor.

[Leetonidas]

Why is Finley guarding Dirk? :wtf

[Spurologist]

Manu needs to attack the paint. work inside out, not outside in.

[mouse]

Take it inside I tell ya.


Joe you want to enjoy your Sunday ? root for a winner, root for the Dallas Mavericks :smokin

[JoeChalupa]

Manu needs to attack the paint. work inside out, not outside in.

I concur.

[Spurologist]

Why is Finley guarding Dirk? :wtf

that shouldn't happen, but TD came over for help with a great contest. Better shot by Dirk

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Joe you want to enjoy your Sunday ? root for a winner, root for the Dallas Mavericks :smokin


but they've never won anything

[Tek_XX]

Rasho in the game on accident for one fucking play and look what happens

At least Nazr isn't in there

[mouse]

Why is Finley guarding Dirk? :wtf

You call that guarding? :lmao

[JoeChalupa]

Joe you want to enjoy your Sunday ? root for a winner, root for the Dallas Mavericks :smokin

Blasphemy I tell ya!!

[Fabbs]

Again if Finley isn't shooting then there's no point to having him on the floor.
Exactly. If Finley is not hitting shots he is detrimental to spurs.
D sucks, passing sucks. Ball stops when it goes to him and when he does pass he puts teamates in awkward positions. The drive n cross court pass to Manu sucked, now he just hung Tim up. Get Barry in.

[mavsfan1000]

Thank God Bowen is in foul trouble. Time for Dirk to go off.

[JoeChalupa]

Keep shootin' and they will come.

[mouse]

but they've never won anything

You don't call free taco bell tacos winning something?

[jn77]

Finley fer Three!!

[JoeChalupa]

Just like I said.

[loveforthegame]

There you go Finley !!

[sa_butta]

That big nose Time Warner wet back is off today :lmaoBut the Ex-Mav is not. Nice 3 Fin-dog.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

don't tell me were going to give up OR's again

[JoeChalupa]

Damn that Dirk

[mouse]

GOD I hate that french fag!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

You don't call free taco bell tacos winning something?


:lol they dont got taco bell here, its taco bueno

[JoeChalupa]

I wish STackhouse would shoot like a brickhouse.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Duncan is on fire

[Spurologist]

TD = MVP form

[jmard5]

I am not able to see the game live! Back to gamecast for me.

[Leetonidas]

Duncan with another crazy shot. :wow

[jn77]

Timmy with the and 1!

[mouse]

This is the Playoffs! stop blowing that dam whistle!

[sa_butta]

Damn Pier got schooled.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

That's a veteran move by TD, creating the contact and getting the call...

[Leetonidas]

Walton just said Tim's the only Spur to attempt free throws when I just saw Tony make two...

[sa_butta]

yeah stop blowing the whistle.

[Mr Dio]

Walton is such a FUCK.

[Spurologist]

Walton is fucking off. TP hits two second before. "TD is only one who has taken fts for spurs"

[jn77]

is bavetta reffing this game?

[Mr Dio]

By the end of the game Dallas will have a 6'6" center who haf previously played only 10min in his career.
Dallas' big men is some foul trouble.

[Spurologist]

is bavetta reffing this game?

Reffing has been fine thus far.

[jn77]

I like the way the spurs look early. Need to get bruce back in the game on Dirk though

[Tek_XX]

We've got to play a little more defense, although right now Mavs are just hitting everything.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

still too many whistles

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I like the way the spurs look early. Need to get bruce back in the game on Dirk though


i think he has two fouls though

[diego]

still weird for both teams most important defensive pieces (bowen for dirk, mavs bigs for duncan) to be in foul trouble 9 min into the game

[loveforthegame]

I don't like all the whistles either.

How about finding some open shots for Barry? He and Ginobli haven't given anything yet have they?

[jn77]

Reffing has been fine thus far.

I am just hoping for consistancy, are they going to call the game like this in the fourth quarter too?

[DDS4]

Pretty even as far as officiating.

[RON ARTEST]

damn the kings own the mavs in the playoffs. :lol

[Warlord23]

Dirk and Duncan both sitting .. we must win the battle of the benches

[JoeChalupa]

Play the game and forget the whistle.

[Wreck281Shop]

It is a shame that these two team had to play right now. They should not have met until the Western Finals.

[JoeChalupa]

I miss the FoxSports score box in the corner.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

God Damnit I Fucking Hate Rasho You Fuckign Bitch

[sa_butta]

damn the kings own the mavs in the playoffs. :lolCaught anything yet?? Trout??

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Tap The Fucking Ball Again You No Rebounding Peice Of Shit

[greyforest]

It is a shame that these two team had to play right now. They should not have met until the Western Finals.

well, gotta follow the NBA's usual standard of "having fucking retarded decisions"

[JoeChalupa]

Come on!

[Fabbs]

Get Finley out.
His D sucks.

[sa_butta]

Dallas is shooting too good right now, hopefully that will not last.

[JoeChalupa]

Maybe these free throws will get Manu going.

[jn77]

well, gotta follow the NBA's usual standard of "having fucking retarded decisions"
Preach on brother Grey Forest!

[JoeChalupa]

Damn it.

[JoeChalupa]

The outside is not there..take it the hole!!!

[greyforest]

almost barry

[Leetonidas]

Gotta tighten up that D! Let's go Spurs!

[sa_butta]

can we get a 3?

[Wreck281Shop]

Spurs are going to have to tighten up the Dee for real. 29 points a quarter is the wrong answer for the type of game they play.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Fucking put in NAzr, god damnit i hate rasho so much

We gave up 29 points that quarter, most of which came in the once rasho got on the floor

[loveforthegame]

Nice block by Finley on that Terry layup attempt. Too bad Barry couldn't hit that 3 pointer though.

[boutons_]

Mavs outshooting and outdefending the Spurs,
looking at FG% of 50% vs 41%
and outrebounded, 10 - 7.
and TOs, 1 - 3.

[jn77]

This is going to be a battle of the benches. Barry and Finley need to get the outside shhoting going

[Spurologist]

Neither team playing D right now. Mavs are up because they were slightly hotter from the field

[Fabbs]

Nice hack of Manu.
b.s.

[~Sweetmelody~]

My tummy and head hurt........

You see what the Spurs do to me! :oops

[Tek_XX]

Fucking put in NAzr, god damnit i hate rasho so much

We gave up 29 points that quarter, most of which came in the once rasho got on the floor

Naw Nazty sucks

[JoeChalupa]

Spurs better not depend on the 3 today.

[Wreck281Shop]

Neither team playing D right now. Mavs are up because they were slightly hotter from the field

True, but the Mavs never play Dee and it is a Spurs staple.

[sa_butta]

Getting outrebounded 10-7 and losing turnover battle 3-1. Not a good Quarter.

[Spurologist]

Memo to pop. Get Nazr out of your doghouse.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

how could steve nash possibly garner that many first place votes for MVP

this is a conspiracy

[Warlord23]

Mavs shot the ball better, rebounded better, made fewer turnovers.

We need to get Ginobili going, take it to the hole and see if they leave our shooters open.

[RON ARTEST]

It is a shame that these two team had to play right now. They should not have met until the Western Finals.
why is everyone complaining about that? if they are gonna get out of the west then they have to play each other anyway.

[jn77]

Timmy lookin good today

[greyforest]

Van Exel Gtfo

[JoeChalupa]

take it inside!

[sa_butta]

not Timmy's shot, take it to the rack.

[jn77]

Go Manu!

[Spurologist]

FIN can't guard Dirk

[JoeChalupa]

Nick the quick will get his.

[SlovenianGuy]

We gave up 29 points that quarter, most of which came in the once rasho got on the floor

Exactly six points.
:rolleyes

[Cant_Be_Faded]

barry too timid

[JoeChalupa]

But make the shot when you do.

[Slomo]

Fucking put in NAzr, god damnit i hate rasho so much

We gave up 29 points that quarter, most of which came in the once rasho got on the floorYou're an idiot!

Only 4 (6 max) points were scored by _allas when Rasho was in.

I understand you hate him but don't distort the facts.

[sa_butta]

nice move Barry, got to finish.

[JoeChalupa]

Timmy!

[sa_butta]

Nice TD.

[Spurologist]

TD = unfuckingbelievable

[sghspurs]

fucking shit that was a wicked crossover timmy

[Cant_Be_Faded]

ginobili is rebounding very well, better than rasho

[sa_butta]

finally getting some boards one and done for Dallas.

[Tek_XX]

That turnover is on manu

[sa_butta]

fuckin turnover

[greyforest]

QUIT THE TO's PLS

[greyforest]

tim savin the mothafuckin day

[Warlord23]

Damned turnovers

[Cant_Be_Faded]

LOLLOLOLOOL

tim duncan is showing us MVP timmy against these fucking mavs


TIM DUNCAN THE MAVS KILLER

[Leetonidas]

Tim is a fucking beast.

[sghspurs]

Tim fucking Duncan holy crap he is a monster

[Manu20]

Timmy is on fire!!

[Wreck281Shop]

why is everyone complaining about that? if they are gonna get out of the west then they have to play each other anyway.

Could you have stated anything more obvious? The teams who garnered the best records for showing up to play every night should be respected for that.

[jn77]

Gotta take care of the ball

[sghspurs]

damn tim was ready bust some skulls today

[Spurs Dynasty]

TIMMY !!!!!!!!!!!!! now if we can just get a decent game out of Manu, this is over

[Warlord23]

Vintage TD .. Diop with 3, Dampier with 2, Mbenga with 2

[Leetonidas]

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/pwnjoo1/timmyyy3tr.jpg

[Spurologist]

Someone has awakened the beast. Bigs of Dallas in foul trouble will open the flood gates to the basket.

[sa_butta]

Tim is taking over, hopefully someone will step up soon, Im sure they will be doubleling more.

[ca®lo]

TD with 16 points already!

[themvp]

Tim Duncan Is The Be(a)st.

[fred33]

tony has also a great game

[sa_butta]

Looks like Dallas will have to bring in the rookie for Center.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

If they start to dobule, we need those shooters

time for finley to earn his paycheck

[Tek_XX]

Something tells me AJ didn't expect Duncan to be this aggressive.

[sghspurs]

he's going to foul out the mavs 3 centers by halftime at this rate

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Looks like Dallas will have to bring in the rookie for Center.


ROFLROFL

dude Duncan will fucking own that guy

[FreshPrince22]

http://www.emerchandise.com/images/p/SOP/pdSTSOP0017.jpg

[themvp]

Lets see how Oberto plays. Bring him.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I think if Amare was not hurt and they had won even more games, Nash would NOT have got the trophy

[RON ARTEST]

Could you have stated anything more obvious? The teams who garnered the best records for showing up to play every night should be respected for that.
o please respected? 2nd round 3rd round. it makes no difference.

[sa_butta]

dude Duncan will fucking own that guyhttp://www.nba.com/media/playerfile/didier_ilunga-mbenga.jpg
Didier Ilunga-Mbenga

He is shakin on the bench now.

[Mr Dio]

Yup, Dallas's big men to have a smaller amt of playing time. :lol

[Duncan21]

http://www.emerchandise.com/images/p/SOP/pdSTSOP0017.jpg
:lol

[JoeChalupa]

Wide open

[Cant_Be_Faded]

double on dirk leads to stackhouse 3

[loveforthegame]

Duncan is a fucking beast today.

Stack is streaky but you can't leave him wide open.

[Duncan21]

ha ha 18 points for tim now

[NASpurs]

Manu finally makes a basket and Pop takes him out :tu

[sa_butta]

damnit Duncan stick with what is working, GO TO THE HOLE.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

dude when did nick van exel become the shittiest spur (besides rasho)

[sa_butta]

Holy Shit Nve

[RON ARTEST]

what the fuck is a dj mebenga? he sucks. i thought the mavs were deeper then that. i still think dirk is better then duncan this year though.

[Spurologist]

VANX = no fucking more

[JoeChalupa]

Where would we be without Timmy's play right now

[Tek_XX]

Pop making himself look stupid with NVE out there

[picnroll]

What was that about NVE bringing the ball up?

[sghspurs]

Van Exel is a frekin' nightmare

[Cant_Be_Faded]

nve redeems himself, assist to duncan layin

[JoeChalupa]

Good job nick!

[sa_butta]

way to redeem yourself Nick.

[NASpurs]

TD is regulating... 20 points!

[JoeChalupa]

Nick will be on fire soon enough.
