Spurs vs. Mavericks Game 2 -- Game Blog

[Supergirl]

Can the Spurs win in Dallas?

Well, they certainly did this season.

[midgetonadonkey]

Pop should go to an all big team. He should put in Rasho, Nazr, Oberto, Marks and Duncan.

[Texas_Ranger]

Blocking foul?? WTF is wrong with you refs

[milkyway21]

We are the champs, but we're not "the team to beat"come on. We lost the 1st game vs the Mavs in 2003 WC finals(hack a Bowen). We can beat this team. Just don't expect a 4-0.

All we need is to wake some Spurs players to HELP Tim Duncan.

[spurschick]

Let's just get out of this one without any serious injuries and move on.

[Crookshanks]

The Spurs will have 3 loooooong days to contemplate this sorry excuse for a game and they better come out on fire on Saturday and tear up the court at AAA. They need to get revenge BIG time and knock the crap out of the Mavs!!

[Tobias]

heh, even the other commentator "no foul!?"

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Man, all the respect I had for Reggie from his playing days went out the door tonight with his bullshit commentary.

[A-Train]

Stackhouse with the hit from the blindside. Can't ignore that.

[Spurologist]

Stack you fucker. Pop needs to play this shit in the video room.

[Supergirl]

Yeah, I was just thinking, hey, Tim got a call to go his way, but then they said, we can't have that, call a foul on him on the other end.

[picnroll]

Spurs are going to kill these bitches next game.

[Knoxville Spur]

I can't believe that was not a foul on Stackhouse!

[2centsworth]

that was all body

[TDfan2007]

whoa wait a minute!

[aaronstampler]

this game is the most pathetic display of spurs playoff basketball i have seen since lakers 2004

No wonder you're so down on Manu, you obviously didn't watch the '05 playoffs at all. If you did, you'd realize that we have one pussy game each series. Game 1 vs Den, Game 4 at Sea, Game 4 vs Pho, Game 4 at Det, Game 4 at Sac this year, and now Game 2 tonight.

I'm not worried. We got our one pussy game out of the way. We'll play with fire the rest of the way.

[ca®lo]

spurs can still win this :)

go spurs go!

[TDfan2007]

nevermind.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I can't believe that was not a foul on Stackhouse!
That was a clean block.

[Tobias]

come on. We lost the 1st game vs the Mavs in 2003 WC finals(hack a Bowen). We can beat this team. Just don't expect a 4-0.

All we need is to wake some Spurs players to HELP Tim Duncan.

As i said i was expanding on what i quoted.

[DETROIT_PISTONS]

Spurs are going to kill these bitches next game.

hmmm i dont think so. :smokin

[2centsworth]

no wonder van exel plays, because Beno incredibly is worse.

[Texas_Ranger]

The Spurs will have 3 loooooong days to contemplate this sorry excuse for a game and they better come out on fire on Saturday and tear up the court at AAA. They need to get revenge BIG time and knock the crap out of the Mavs!!

Its not over yet, perhaps we will win

[Wreck281Shop]

Uhh, why don't they just get out the way and see if Harris will trip on his own.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Might want to play a little defence now Spurs.

[J.T.]

At least Tony and Manu get some time to heal up before the next game.

[2centsworth]

boy that's foul

[????????]

If the Spurs didnt feel disrespected before with the scheduling, then now is the time to get pissed and come out fired up in game 3 and beyond. Stern will go to any lengths to make sure the Spurs dont win again, and the Spurs have to rise above that little weasel and his cronies and play great ball to win.

[TDfan2007]

can't miss those. Should've been a foul though.

[Spurs Dynasty]

So between Reggie Miller being plain fucking annoying and the horrible calls from the refs, I've called it quits on watching the game.

Yeah, me too. Look at it this way, it cant get any worse than this. I expect whoever is officiating next game will look at this one say "holy shit". Officiating can only get better.

Manu will most likely suit up for next game, others as well. So, lets get all the crap out of the way in one game. We will still take the series, shame we had to go thru this though.

[Crookshanks]

Oh, and Mavs fans, don't come in here boasting and gloating when you got this game handed to you in the first two minutes of the game! How can you feel good about a win when you played 8 on 5 for most of the game!

[milkyway21]

LAST 10 PLAYS (Last Play on the Bottom)
Team Time Play
DAL 8:18 Jerry Stackhouse made 2nd of 2 Free Throws
DAL 8:13 Personal foul on Erick Dampier
SA 8:06 Tim Duncan made Jump Shot
DAL 7:40 Lost ball turnover on Jason Terry, Stolen by Brent Barry

SA 7:30 Brent Barry made 3-pt. Jump Shot, Assist Bruce Bowen :clap

DAL 7:08 Devin Harris made Driving layup (16 PTS)

score:96-80 Mavs

how many fouls does Dampier has?

[Leetonidas]

It's not even the refs anymore. This is a fucking disgrace. The Spurs defense tonight is a fucking JOKE.

[ducks]

spurs need to get it down to 10 with 5 minutes left and then stop the mavs
and win

[TDfan2007]

I haven't seen such horrible defense from this team since game 4 against Sac.

[spurschick]

Reggie Miller is such a douche.

[Knoxville Spur]

That was a clean block.

Bullshit. When you clip someone who is flying in the air towards the basket their is nothing "incidental" about it. You ever play a fucking down of basketball?!?!?

[TDfan2007]

wow, hard to beat a team that doesn't miss.

[mavs_fan 41]

Goodbye.

-AHF

[Spurs Dynasty]

Anyone who says the refs arent crooked after all of these bullshit calls and that last on TD is a fucking dilusional idiot. And for those people - I have some property to sell you in Iraq.

Really? We might be neighbors !! I am looking to move though, you might be interested in my property to exand your holdings.

[2centsworth]

why is tony walking.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Tony, quit trying to be the hero. Fuck. Pass the ball to Barry.

[Leetonidas]

Like our said, our defense is a fucking joke. They're running the same fucking play and Harris is just getting open layups.

[Tek_XX]

Pop needs to pull everyone.

[aaronstampler]

What the fuck is wrong with Manu, I see it being the same way next year also. I hope I'am wrong but damn.

He can't jump this year. Whatever happened to him, it happened early in training camp, and then just got worse and worse throughout the year. He simply can't jump like he did last year. He's probably lost like 8 inches on his vertical. Hopefully he'll get it back after rest, but I have no idea.

[Spurologist]

Bullshit. When you clip someone who is flying in the air towards the basket their is nothing "incidental" about it. You ever play a fucking down of basketball?!?!?

it was clean

[DETROIT_PISTONS]

If you agree with 41, you can join him.

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Reggie Miller is such a douche.

Yeah, Reggie does suck. He gets old fast.

[Tobias]

So, why is there no local broadcast tonight? Why do we have to suffer with Reggie Miller?

[2centsworth]

U guys are pathetic I say one thing about all the whining going on and get banned. What a bunch of pussies
you've got to be a real chump to get banned on this site.

[Tek_XX]

Tony, quit trying to be the hero. Fuck. Pass the ball to Barry.

Stupid statement

[Leetonidas]

U guys are pathetic I say one thing about all the whining going on and get banned. What a bunch of pussies

That's because you're a fucking douche bag troll shit head who's only trying to start shit. You're one to fucking talk after your bitch coach was whining after game 1.

[Texas_Ranger]

we play good in 3th & 4th quater, but second quater was horibel

[TDfan2007]

It's not even the refs anymore. This is a fucking disgrace. The Spurs defense tonight is a fucking JOKE.

:tu

[midgetonadonkey]

Fuck this. I'm going back to the Quattro.

[Crookshanks]

The Spurs know they barely squeaked out a win in game 1 - how could they come out so flat in game 2 - they should have been fired up and ready to lay one on the Mavs. Instead we get this weak crap! The next 3 days are going to be very long and umcomfortable for the Spurs. Tim - you need to have a "come to Jesus" meetin with the rest of the team and tell them this is the playoffs - you know "win or go home"!!!

[Vinnie_Johnson]

So, why is there no local broadcast tonight? Why do we have to suffer with Reggie Miller?

If spurs were winning I am sure he wouldn't be so bad. :spin

[ballhog]

Trap that little bitch that goes to the hole@!!!!!!Dammit.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

game 4 at phoenix was close and totally winnable though

dont ever forget, we brutally, totally, owned phoenix that series

[Tobias]

If spurs were winning I am sure he wouldn't be so bad. :spin
In the finals last year, no matter who was up, Hubie Brown was unbearable.

[spurschick]

You have to do a lot to be banned from this site... so if you got banned, you must have deserved it.

[fred33]

At least Tony and Manu get some time to heal up before the next game.
MANU IS NOT HURT TONY HAS 3 HURT AND HE'S FIGHTING don't forget the sacramento serie. tony is limping all the game

[milkyway21]

Goodbye.

-AHF behave and you won't get banned :lol

aloha!

[2centsworth]

If spurs were winning I am sure he wouldn't be so bad. :spin
nah, reg has a little history of sucking in spurs broadcast. It goes back to when he said Indiana was better than the spurs and he argued that point to the death against barkley.

[Knoxville Spur]

we will be lucky to win this series. Pop has been fucking with the lineup too much so now Horry, Mohammed, and Nesterovic are all out of sync. Duncan is getting no help on the inside.

[Spurs Dynasty]

TO: Coach Pop

RE: Bear Hugging Defense

Pop, i hope you complain to the refs about the Dog Humping defense the Mavs played tonight! We need lots of makeup calls next game.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Okay, did anyone else see Dirk shove Bowen two-handed in the back? Someone needs to kick the fucking Kraut's ass.

[Wreck281Shop]

See ya next game fellas. Don't take it so hard. Thats why the schedule for seven.

[Tobias]

Bowens dirty, he has it coming, remember? :rolleyes

take a chill pill. Spurs are going to take them out, np. Guys need some rest.

You're right, but the difference is that the referees were not so obviously biased as they are tonight. The Spurs would have lost anyway because of how they are playing, but the only thing that concerns me is if Stern and his band of cheaters will do this shit again. If the series is called correctly by some non biased officials then the Spurs win in 6. This is their bullshit game of the series but I dont know if they can overcome biased officials. The good thing is that Stern seems scared to put too many of these biased games in a series because then it really starts to look bad and he may be investigated by the Govt. The Spurs have until SAT to recover, and they will. This is just the way the league works with their WWE bullshit.

I think these refs need a major beating from the fans who paid their hard earned money to see the refs call an intentionally biased game. Let Stern know that this bullshit will not be tolerated by the paying customer, and that he is next if it continues.

[ballhog]

Tim, elbow those little shits that are holding you.

[Texas_Ranger]

This game is over. The series is tied on 1, Bring on game 3.

[2centsworth]

See ya next game fellas. Don't take it so hard. Thats why the schedule for seven.
later.

[Leetonidas]

Mavs are fucking faggots. They have thier starters against our deep bench. Losers.

[whottt]

Anyone else think it was funny when Reggie was talking about the most important game to win in a series?


Whichever game that is...Reggie obviously never won it when it mattered most.

[NBA_FAN]

:elephant
great job Dallas !!

[whottt]

I know that I personally am looking forward to another few days of singing Kumbaya with Avery.

[Knoxville Spur]

Reggie is a loser. How come the announcers are usually the guys that never won shit or even played the game?

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Mavs are fucking faggots. They have thier starters against our deep bench. Losers.


Yep!

[milkyway21]

SA 4:26 Tony Parker missed Jump Shot

SA 4:21 Offensive Rebound by Bruce Bowen

SA 4:14 Tony Parker missed Floating Jump shot

SA 4:12 Brent Barry made Driving layup (12 PTS)


what's Tony trying to do? he's exposed.

[Supergirl]

This reminds me a lot of Game 4 against Sac. We lost that one by 20 points, too, remember?

Spurs will come back strong and win at least 1 in Dallas, then win games 5 and 6 to close it out, just like they've done before.

[ballhog]

:elephant
great job Dallas !!

EAt shit. Wait til you play a team that isn't junior varsity.

[LilMissSPURfect]

:flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :sick :sick

[????????]

Avery is still playing his starters. Fucking scrub. I hope someone kicks his ass the next time he steps in SA. Fuck that bitch.

[Vashner]

Win some ... loose some... I wish I had a shot of whisky

[LilMissSPURfect]

MAVS got what they whined about.......

[milkyway21]

whoa Dirk is at it again.

playing garbage time

:lmao

[Spurologist]

Holy shit. Talk about parting of the sea.

[Crookshanks]

Mavs are fucking faggots. They have thier starters against our deep bench. Losers.

They did that in the Memphis series also. I thought then that Avery was pretty classless - why rub it in? It would serve them right if one of their starters got hurt during garbage time and missed the rest of the series!!!

[NBA_FAN]

EAt shit. Wait til you play a team that isn't junior varsity.

:elephant keep crying !! :elephant

[ballhog]

Why is Avery chugging Gatorade? Is sweating and losing valuable electrolytes bitching and whining at the refs?

[????????]

Yeah, they will... because the league wont put another officiated game like this on again this series. Time to man up and go toe to toe with these bitches.

[Tobias]

[Talking about the empty seats in the ATT center as the Spurs lose]
"Well, it started at the jumpball..." -- sums up Reggie's thoughts of the game

[pking]

Avery is still playing his starters. Fucking scrub. I hope someone kicks his ass the next time he steps in SA. Fuck that bitch.

He played the starters for like 2 posessions after Pop pulled SA starters. Every time (not that it happens often, but whatever) the Mavs beat you guys by a good size margin, somebody complains about the coach (beit nellie or AJ) running up the score by leaving the starters in. In general, it's B.S.

[????????]

:elephant keep crying !! :elephant
2 posts?? He's a dallas troll and a scrub... just ignore him...

[Supergirl]

Avery is still playing his starters. Fucking scrub. I hope someone kicks his ass the next time he steps in SA. Fuck that bitch.

Let him. That's his stupidity. He should let them rest and not risk injury when they're up by 20 in the fourth quarter. In a 7 game series that kind of stupid decision will catch up to him.

[NBA_FAN]

OMG.. the Arena is empty ... :elephant :rollin

[Leetonidas]

And Darrel Armstrong has no fucking class as there is less than 24 and he lays it up. What a fucking asswipe.

[whottt]

Yeah, they will... because the league wont put another officiated game like this on again this series. Time to man up and go toe to toe with these bitches.


You wish...we still got Salvatore and Bavetta coming up.

BS just like the officiating. It's no class BS by Avery. I hope you enjoyed this, because the league wont call it this bad again. If they really want to avoid suspicion they will rape you next time, see how you like it...

Get ready to be closed out in 6.

[NBA_FAN]

wow.... 22 points !!

[ballhog]

2 posts?? He's a dallas troll and a scrub... just ignore him...

Pink elephants. Tells alot about a person.

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Dallas actually has to win 4 games.

The SPURS will kick their ass in game 3 and the series. :flag: :flag: :flag:

[????????]

You wish...we still got Salvatore and Bavetta coming up.
Stern wont do that because it will draw big suspicion. Many fans and people are already taking notice of these crooked games and the NBA is losing ratings.

[efrem1]

A comprehensive defeat at home. This thing stings, but there is a whole lot of fightback in this team. Just ask Sacto.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yeah, they will... because the league wont put another officiated game like this on again this series.

Actually they will, it will just be in our favor :lol

[efrem1]

Just glad the team won game one or they would beup sh** creek.

[2centsworth]

You wish...we still got Salvatore and Bavetta coming up.
if that happens I'll jump on the conspiracy bandwagon.

Get ready to be closed out in 6.

No need to talk crap to me. I respect your team greatly, I'm not here to say "The Mavs are going to beat your ass!" or some BS like that. I'm not Mouse. I was just throwing in my two cents about how ridiculous it is to complain about AJ leaving starters in for TWO POSSESSIONS after your starters were taken out. If he played the game out with them, I can see the complaint.


But I would have to agree with Texas that that was kinda shiesty of D.A. to lay it in if there really was less that 24 on the clock. I wouldn't exactly call it classless, but kinda tacky :lol

[whottt]

Stern wont do that because it will draw big suspicion. Many fans and people are already taking notice of these crooked games and the NBA is losing ratings.


David Stern will just go, "oops our bad ,sorry SA" if it happens again. And he doesn't care about San Antonios ratings.

The next good officiated Dick Bavetta game will be the first....he couldn't ref a good game if he had too. And he's the one that gave the Mavs the series against Houston last year.

[NBA_FAN1]

Great Game Dallas !! :smokin

[efrem1]

Any hurting that Parker has should be healed by Saturday. A good thing that there is such a break.

[Spurologist]

There was actually a chance to come back when the lead was down to 14 with about 7 minutes to go but it wasn't meant to be.

You can pretty much name anything that cost us the game. The funny thing is during that jumpball fuckup. Javie actually said, "We fucked up on that one" Somebody please change that rule. If a ref fucks up, you can't have a jump ball. The game was far beyond the officiating though. We could never take advantage of TD having his way inside. Tony looked gas on almost every play and his score/pass selection needs to improve. Manu sucked again. Nothing whatsoever. No discipline. No defense.

It was a pathetic display on all fronts. Dallas congrats on the win, but you better straddle you asses because a serious pounding will be layed upon you. Spurs take game 3.

[LilMissSPURfect]

we"ll b iiiiiiiggggggght!

[Spurs Dynasty]

LOL ! national media question #3 to Pop:

"the fans got down on Jaffee, did you have a problem with the officating"

For national sports media to ask that question says something, no?

Course, Pop will never do an Avery. Good answer Pop. Wonder what he really thought?

[samikeyp]

Wonder what he really thought?

"is the fine worth it?...nahh" :)

[Bloodline666]

"is the fine worth it?...nahh" :)
If a technical foul is worth it, so is a fine. And I already lost count of how many technicals Pop picked up this season because of arguing with the officials. :lol

[angel_luv]

It's late so this will be quick.

I loved the fans chanting at Javie- that was classic.

I have every confidence that my Spurs are going to totally regroup and kick serious tail on Saturday. No fear here! :)

Go Spurs Go!


Angel out!

[Vashner]

little general went Santa Anna on us :(

[strangeweather]

If a technical foul is worth it, so is a fine. And I already lost count of how many technicals Pop picked up this season because of arguing with the officials. :lol

The reason for not complaining about the officials isn't the fine. The important thing is that the Spurs sucked tonight, and did more than enough to lose this game, even without the bad calls. Conspiracy theories aside, you can't control the refs, but you can control how you play. The Spurs need to focus on the not sucking part, not the officiating.

[BigD1]

BS just like the officiating. It's no class BS by Avery. I hope you enjoyed this, because the league wont call it this bad again. If they really want to avoid suspicion they will rape you next time, see how you like it...

Get ready to be closed out in 6.Why are u guys so bitter? U didn't really think SA was going to sweep Dallas, did u? To be honest, I thought SA got the best of the officiating in game 1. There were a lot of times when Damp and Diop stood their ground and simply kept their hands up. Yet, Timmy drawed the foul everytime. Bowen slapped Dirk's hand far too often. The truth of the matter is...this Dallas team is GOOD. A lot of u posters were claiming that Sacto is better than Dallas. This is not true at all. Dallas is the only team in the West that has a legitimate chance of beating the Spurs. Dallas has outplayed SA so far in the playoffs. They very well could be 2-0 right now on the road. I'm not saying Dallas will win, but they do have the depth, size, defense(believe it or not), definitely offense, rebounding, and speed to pull it out. The question is, can Avery out-coach Pop and will the Spur's experience be too much. We'll see. May the best team win. Go mavs!

Because, the ref-ing sucked SO BADLY ! Yes, Spurs sucked and Dallas played a good game. Yes, Dallas is a good team. But the Mavs benefited from SO MANY atrocious calls, one has to wonder how it effected the Spurs and how it might have turned out had the game been officiated fairly. It was truly disgusting.

[DarkReign]

I dont speak for anyone but myself, but please Pistons fans, dont post in a Spurs Game Thread during the game. I completely agreed with all Pistons fans post, but I dont think the Spurs fans need anymore piling on when their are enough Mavs fans lurking to do it already.

Anyway,

Im sorry Spurs, this game just proved to me that TP is more AI than even a Chris Paul. Its all well and good that he can drive the lane at will and get good chances around the basket, but involving your teammates as a PG is more important to me. Not the guy I want.

Manu Ginobli. Where the **** are you? I have read as many excuses for TP and Manu as I can handle. Rip is hurt, his shot is goofy and completely off, yet he still managed 17 points on 1-7 shooting. If Manu is hurt, then he needs to find another way to score, whether it be at the line, on the perimeter or going to the basket. If he cant do one of these 3 things, then he shouldnt be starting, maybe not even playing.

Your backcourt is why you lost, IMO.

Bowen > Dirk. Good day sir.

TD fucking owns.

Horry/Nazr/whatever-center-was-put-out-there were completely dominated.

-------------------

The refs sucked. The refs were bias. I cant argue. Some calls that were vehemently argued were actually fair calls, but seriously, that was the ugliest display of officiating I have seen since 05.

But the refs dont score points. Losing by 20+ has nothing to do with refs. Thats an ass-kicking with an assist to officiating. Without all the bad calls, you still lose by 10 or more. Would that make you feel better? I think not.

Spurs were outplayed severly. Im sorry.

But its one game. This series was SUPPOSED to be like this. Whomever wins is going to the Finals. To think it was going anything less than 6 games would be ignorant. I still hope the Spurs pull it out (which I think they will, cant play that shitty forever).
