Spurs vs. Mavericks Game 3 -- Game Blog

[Tobias]

I ca'nt take this shit anymore, the Mavs own the SPurs. Plain and simple.

If Dirk didn't go cold in the 4th quarter of game 1, by tonight the Spurs would be down 0-3.
If the Spurs didnt get cold in....

[ducks]

2:36 SA - N. Van Exel enters game for F. Oberto

2:26 SA - T. Parker makes an 18-foot jumper from the top of the key
2:36 DAL - D. Nowitzki hits a free throw

Hubie is right. We've always played with two big guys and it was difficult to score against us. Fuck Pop

[bonesinaz]

X with the steal!

[CubanMustGo]

Dirk has nearly as many FTs as the Spurs.

[MannyIsGod]

Screw the Van Ex haters.

[NASpurs]

[NASpurs]

OMG the Spurs actually pushed the ball! Tony should remember to do what Manu just did.

[SpursGo25]

Wow. Look what can happen when you bring some cojones to the game.

[nkdlunch]

What the fuck have I been saying.... This game is far from over, nut up bitches :)

[aaronstampler]

[whottt]

No player in NBA history has ever been in the dobhouse as badly as Rasho must be to have not seen the court in this game.

Spurs Would Have Been Ahead Had Nazr Not Entered Game

[yeahone]

Nuice 8-0 run by the spurs

[Tobias]

that's as close as your spursies will get!
and #6 is as close as you'll get (in the draft)

[ducks]

Barry Has 5 Rebounds

[strangeweather]

that's as close as your spursies will get!

With 10,000 lakes, shouldn't you be off fishing in one of them?

[SpursGo25]

"Ginobili looking good tonight, very active." He's um... 2 of 9. Hubie is on another planet.
I've always thought of hubie brown as a very good coach but he is an extremely horrible commentator. They should get rid of him.

[Melmart1]

Will that be the shot that gets Manu out of his funk?

[NASpurs]

Spurs Would Have Been Ahead Had Nazr Not Entered Game:lmao

[Spurologist]

TTTTTTPPPPPPPp

[Behrooz24]

"how the Spurs got their groove back"

[NASpurs]

Tony being aggresive!

[genghisrex]

Parker says, that's my game, bitch!

[bonesinaz]

Spurs within 5

[Behrooz24]

Manu! I love you again!

[NASpurs]

Manu with the charge!

[greyforest]

omg a charge call on mavs?

i am about to shit my pants

[ducks]

:43.9 SA - M. Ginobili defensive rebound
:46.9 DAL - D. Harris misses a layup
:56.6 SA - B. Barry enters game for T. Duncan

[bonesinaz]

Manuuuu!!!!!!!

[Mavs<Spurs]

I'm hoping we can get it under 10 by the half. Then we'll see what happens.

I hope so, but we need some different things to start to take place.

First, Tony and Manu have got to get into the paint and either score or set up a shooter for an open shot. They have got to become more efficient on offense and they can't keep giving up all these second chance points. They must defensive rebound better.

Otherwise, if the same stuff keeps happening, the longer the game goes, the more dallas will win by.

[ducks]

:20.5 DAL - Foul on J. Terry
:20.5 DAL - Offensive foul on J. Terry
:36.1 SA - T. Parker drives to the hoop for a layup
:43.9 SA - M. Ginobili defensive rebound

[WalterBenitez]

I am worried about Manu health ... good move, but

[NASpurs]

Damn! OH well, at least we're not being blown away

[Behrooz24]

8-0 whew

[ashbeeigh]

Man, that would have been hot had they made that at the buzzer.

[MannyIsGod]

HUGE run.

[Behrooz24]

The crowd is dead

[bonesinaz]

Spurs with last shot.

Finish 48-53

[ducks]

:20.5 DAL - D. Diop enters game for J. Terry
:20.5 SA - T. Duncan enters game for N. Van Exel

[Tek_XX]

oh finley make the fucking shot please

[Leetonidas]

GREAT way to end the half. Nice job guys.

[Behrooz24]

Great momentum for the 2nd half

[greyforest]

spurs need to learn how to shoot the basketball, and they need to do it before the 3rd quarter starts! fg% in the 30s doesnt cut the damn butter

[ALVAREZ6]

If Tony's pass was better, Manu would have taken that ball to the rack for 2 points.

[Spurologist]

Tony being aggresive!

and he dished it to manu. Jefferson gay ass is getting owned

[CubanMustGo]

Spurs showed up in the last 2.5 minutes

[ducks]

:00.0 Halftime
:00.2 DAL - D. Diop defensive rebound
:00.4 SA - M. Finley misses a 20-foot jumper from the right wing
:20.5 DAL - D. Diop enters game for J. Terry
:20.5 SA - T. Duncan enters game for N. Van Exel

[Manu20]

8-0 run for the Spurs to end the half!:tu

[yeahone]

that wasa nice run to end the half

[1Parker1]

At least Spurs made it respectable going into the half. They have to be careful when the Mavs come out.

Props to Devin Harris for giving Parker props, and a :flipoff to Hubie for negating it.

[nkdlunch]

Man, that would have been hot had they made that at the buzzer.

:wow nice avatar

Well, hopefully we'll play defense in the next half.

If Tony's pass was better, Manu would have taken that ball to the rack for 2 points.

The ref wasnt' available.

[SpursGo25]

Manu should have taken that last possession to the rim and either score or go to the line. He had the angle and just didnt get on balance enough to finish

[Don Quixote]

Nice run to end the half. Still a crummy performance overall, but being down 5 to a team of Dallas' calibre is not too bad.

If the Spurs are to win this game/series, it will be due to their heart and desire, and some luck, because they are FAR less talented than Dallas.

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

We're hanging in there.

Keep it going! :flag:

[bonesinaz]

Well, hopefully we'll play defense in the next half.

At this point, that is my prayer.

[SuperManu!!!]

I just loved the follow up dunk made by oberto! Who would think this guy could?

[mouse]

Nuice 8-0 run by the spurs


That was a sweet 8-0 run by the Spurs good going. or as a Mavs fan should I do like DEB and say Fuck Off! :lmao

[1Parker1]

I really want to see Finley have a good game here tonight. He needs it, Spurs need it. This is the time for Him, NVE, and Barry to get it going.

I hope Manu and Parker can carry this sudden momentem in the second half. :tu

[nkdlunch]

I would say the Spurs have put themselves in position to have a good chance to take game 3 on the road.

[Tobias]

The Spurs showing you can let Dallas run amok all half, then show up in the last two minutes and still hang in there.


...now if the Spurs decide to continue to hang in....

[mavsfan1000]

Howard being in foul trouble was the key to the spurs run. That and Terry can't guard Parker to save his life.

[jmard5]

The game is not being broadcasted live in here.

What this I read consecutive shots by Barry and Duncan from midcourt?

[ALVAREZ6]

I just loved the follow up dunk made by oberto! Who would think this guy could?
I was very surprised.

He jumps like a pure white boy.

[1Parker1]

I just loved the follow up dunk made by oberto! Who would think this guy could?

:lol Sorry, but Oberto hasn't impressed me today. He's made quite a few mistakes/stupid fouls. And he let Dallas get a lot of offensive rebounds when he was in. I'd almost wish Pop would try Rasho.

[fred33]

parker 3on3 this quarter

Dallas isnt far more talented. They arent any more talented. They are just playing better. The Spurs problem is not that they are out gunned, it's that they just are not playing hard and are making bad decisions. They stepped it up at the end of the half and went on a run. They just have to bring 24 more to finish this game with a win.

Hubie has a thing for the Pistons. For that reason, he doesn't like any compliments going to the Spurs.

The problem is teams have been running amok way too much.

[Brutalis]

Duncan-Rasho-Manu-Bowen-Parker

lets go.

[Spurologist]

If Tony's pass was better, Manu would have taken that ball to the rack for 2 points.

FIN got a great look. You can't bitch. At least TP passed it.

[aaronstampler]

They've become us and we've become them. Let's see how far we can go with it. Let's run run run out there in the 2nd half and try to force the issue. If we're gonna play small ball anyway, we might as well run with the smalls. I wanna see Manu and Tony put pressure and them and not let their bigs catch up to the half court defense.

[yeahone]

lets use that asd momentun guys and come out thought in the third quarter

[ducks]

mavs o boards 7
spurs o boards 5
pretty close
spurs are getting out rebounded by 5 not 10 or 15 people
get it even spurs are ahead though

[MannyIsGod]

I have a huge feeling that NVE is gonna come up huge tonight. I just feel it.

[greyforest]

shot clock winding down

[themvp]

I was very surprised.

He jumps like a pure white boy.

Exactly. I was so pissed off of Oberto´s play, but then he dunked and I was...WAWAWIWA! :angel

[ShoogarBear]

That 8-0 run may have been a lifesaver.

Now it would be nice to see the defensive intensity pick up.

Keys for the second half:
3. Keep the Mavs off the offensive boards.
2. Stop Harris' penetration.
1. Don't let Nazr out of the locker room.

[aaronstampler]

And this means Tim running too. I want him to take advantage of his foot speed vs Diop/Dampier.

[ducks]

the third quarter is where spurs usually make their move

things looking up

[bonesinaz]

Spurs shooting 41%, mavs 50%. This will even up even more in the 2nd half.

[greyforest]

mavericks are turning it over a shitload, and have had 7 more FT attempts than us

if we can learn to FUCKIN SHOOT then we have it in the bag if they play the same

[mookie2001]

I was...WAWAWIWA! :angel
you used an "I" sound?

[ALVAREZ6]

Exactly.


They aren't performing to their potential at all. They are underachieving, and it all starts with effort. They just started giving it. Hopefully it carries over to the 2nd half, if it doesn't, then that's just how it is. They don't want it.

[nkdlunch]

:lol Sorry, but Oberto hasn't impressed me today. He's made quite a few mistakes/stupid fouls. And he let Dallas get a lot of offensive rebounds when he was in. I'd almost wish Pop would try Rasho.

Oberto >>>>>>> Nazr tonight

[exstatic]

Zero Nazr minutes: that's the key to the second half. That stupid git cost us the lead in about 9 seconds with that horrible sequence.

I have a huge feeling that NVE is gonna come up huge tonight. I just feel it.

NVE feed to TD got the run started and the team fired up. Need MORE smart passes from NVE, less shots.

[A-Train]

Spurs started to focus on protecting the paint and they reeled off a run to close the half.

[Deb]

I sure feel better after seeing the Spurs play Spurs basketball the last three minutes or so. They had just not looked like themselves.

I think they are all gonna gut up and come back big in the half.

[nkdlunch]

Duncan-Rasho-Manu-Bowen-Parker

lets go.


I miss that lineup..... Goodtimes

[ashbeeigh]

Doesn't Fabrcicio have like 8 fouls already?

[Tobias]

CIA Pop! Devaluing Nazr!!1!

[SpursGo25]

I think we should go big and pack in the paint with the bigs. Work inside on offense and release back on defense to stop the break. Make the mavs win by shooting contested jump shots.

What has rasho done to not get any pt?? I know he hasnt been any worse than nazr, so what happened? Did he tell Pop to kiss his ass or something?

[A-Train]

Also, Spurs started to attack in transition instead of pulling up.

[1Parker1]

Mavs backcourt outscored Spurs backcourt 24-16. That needs to improve in the second half, along with our defense and rebounding.

[CubanMustGo]

Oberto >>>>>>> Nazr tonight

My 82-yo Aunt Elberta >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nazr tonight.

[ALVAREZ6]

FIN got a great look. You can't bitch. At least TP passed it.
By the way the Spurs were set up in that last play, it was obvious that Manu was supposed to get the ball and drive with it. At least it should have seemed obvious to you if you watch Spurs games regularly.


Manu was positioned like he always is when he's about to catch and drive.

[bonesinaz]

Doesn't Fabrcicio have like 8 fouls already?

:lol he only has 3.

[SuperManu!!!]

This game is on the spurs....i can feel it. Trust me...the mavs have shown their better and it's not enough

[aaronstampler]

The game hasn't been THAT lopsided. We missed too many FTs, and Terry has hit some really difficult shots. We haven't really hit too many of our tough shots yet. If Terry and Stack keep taking the same quality of shots they're getting, we'll be okay.

[Mavs<Spurs]

I think that we will know if this will be a close ball game down the stretch by the first five minutes or so of the third quarter.

Will the Spurs continue the positive mojo and momentum that they had at the end of the half or will they continue to stink it up?

[1Parker1]

Avery will have the Mavs come out firing in the second half, after letting the Spurs go on an 8-0 run. Spurs need to be ready for that and not sag off to what they did for the 20 minutes of the first half.

[MannyIsGod]

NVE feed to TD got the run started and the team fired up. Need MORE smart passes from NVE, less shots.
He makes those passes all the time though. He makes great little passes that aren't noticed. He's great at running the offense.

[J.T.]

That run at the end was nice. Keep it up and we should be in good shape. Go Spurs Go!

[aaronstampler]

Mavs backcourt outscored Spurs backcourt 24-16. That needs to improve in the second half, along with our defense and rebounding.

It's more like 24-20. Manu has 8, to Barry's 4, and he's really the starter. His mins didn't go down any, he was just off the bench.

[mavsfan1000]

Keep Harris on Parker is the key. I would almost rather have Daniels on Parker than Terry. Terry sucks on defense.

[SpurDawg]

Mavs are boring the Spurs that is it in a nutshell!

[Tek_XX]

OMG jefferson is fabulous

Keep Harris on Parker is the key. I would almost rather have Daniels on Parker than Terry. Terry sucks on defense.

Exactly.



You will be able to tell who will win the game by the way both teams come out.

[ashbeeigh]

It's all about keep that momentum going into the second half. And knowing which plays AJ has in the locker room. :spin

[Brutalis]

why don't u post in Mavs forum's game blogs????? :rolleyes
Having a life plays a major role in that decision.

[aaronstampler]

Avery will have the Mavs come out firing in the second half, after letting the Spurs go on an 8-0 run. Spurs need to be ready for that and not sag off to what they did for the 20 minutes of the first half.

The Spurs need to act like they just let the Mavs have the 8-0 run, be the aggressors.

[ShoogarBear]

The game hasn't been THAT lopsided. We missed too many FTs, and Terry has hit some really difficult shots. We haven't really hit too many of our tough shots yet. If Terry and Stack keep taking the same quality of shots they're getting, we'll be okay.

The Mavs are shooting better (50% vs. 41%) AND getting offensive rebounds (7 out of 18 misses) AND getting more FTs (23 to 16).

That should be an unbeatable combination.

TO differential is actually working in the Spurs favor for a change (3 to 8).

[CubanMustGo]

TOs about all that is keeping us close.

[Spurologist]

By the way the Spurs were set up in that last play, it was obvious that Manu was supposed to get the ball and drive with it. At least it should have seemed obvious to you if you watch Spurs games regularly.


Manu was positioned like he always is when he's about to catch and drive.

Nothing seemed obvious to me. Spurs usually draw a high pick and roll not a drive then kick. That's why I was surprised about the pass. I thought tp would drive it straight to the basket.

[SpursGo25]

:lol Jefferson trying to explain his gay, broke back ass shirt.

He's blaming someone else for not telling him he would be on tv. How the fuck would he not know he is going to be on tv? LIAR!!

[1Parker1]

:lol ABC sucks at halftime. They spend 10 minutes talking about Richard Jefferson's wardrobe.

[ALVAREZ6]

Nothing seemed obvious to me. Spurs usually draw a high pick and roll not a drive then kick. That's why I was surprised about the pass. I thought tp would drive it straight to the basket.
Well maybe that's just you, but Manu was clearly supposed to take it to the rack.


The Spurs do that often, Manu follows TP after receiving the pass, TP serves as a decoy and clears the lane a little. It works.

[Tek_XX]

Spurs being aggressive is what is getting us back in this. If we're just gonna let the Mavs run all over us we can expect to lose every game.

[Brutalis]

:lol ABC sucks at halftime. They spend 10 minutes talking about Richard Jefferson's wardrobe.
I don't watch halftime reports. Biggest waste of time ever.

[ShoogarBear]

Jefferson is not in a jacket. Isn't he in violation of the dress code? I bet Stern wants it to apply to TV appearances.

[aaronstampler]

The Mavs are shooting better (50% vs. 41%) AND getting offensive rebounds (7 out of 18 misses) AND getting more FTs (23 to 16).

That should be an unbeatable combination.

TO differential is actually working in the Spurs favor for a change (3 to 8).


But that's what I'm saying, the reason they're shooting 50% is because they're making some very difficult shots. Outside of Harris' layups and the 2nd chance layups they get off the offensive rebounds, we're not giving them easy shots.

[genghisrex]

Jefferson got ripped a new asshole, although surprisingly he didn't seem to enjoy it.

[nkdlunch]

:lol Jefferson trying to explain his gay, broke back ass shirt.

He's blaming someone else for not telling him he would be on tv. How the fuck would he not know he is going to be on tv? LIAR!!

I agree they're hitting difficult shots. But when they start missing them, the Spurs can't allow them to get the offensive rebounds, or allow them to drive and pick up fouls.

[ashbeeigh]

is eva at the game?


Who cares?

[bonesinaz]

Spurs won the 2nd quarter. They shot 60% for the quarter.

Now they need to come out and win the 3rd.

Pop needs to get on the same level as the game as well, he has some bad lineups in this game.

Jefferson probly had more pussy in the last 5 days than u ever will in a lifetime. How's that brokeback???
awww, did I touch a nerve with you? Is jefferson your gay hero?? :lol

are you with him all the time? how do you know he likes women and gets a lot of pussy? He may like men and be in the closet.

And you talk about me like you know me. Obviously you dont know me.

[Tek_XX]

Not a fair comparison. He has Vince, the biggest pussy of all time.

nice. :lol

[Brutalis]

How much time is left anyways before HT is over finally?

[Spurologist]

More 3 pt makes needed

[ducks]

I would say all wives or girlfriends are
your point being?

[nkdlunch]

Not a fair comparison. He has Vince, the biggest pussy of all time.

true

[1Parker1]

Good, Pop addressed the defense.

[whottt]

Thx for waiting! Aholes!

[ashbeeigh]

Halftime is over.

[j-6]

Telling sign that this ain't the Mavs of seasons past: They're up five and haven't hit a three yet - I think they've only shot two - and the German has nine boards.

And yes Hubie, we know that Dirk hits 90% from the line.

Still, I think that if SA holds Dallas under 20 points in the 3rd, this game is theirs. Getting Terry and Howard into further foul trouble and forcing AJ to play Daniels more would help quite a bit.

[Tobias]

[Deb]

No what I had hoped for. Still no cajones

[Don Quixote]

Way to come out and stink it up, guys.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

why in the world would TP ever take a shot outside of the lane when we need points on the board!?!?! save that shit up for a blowout game fuck

[ducks]

9:52 SA - Full timeout (Timeout #4)
10:00 DAL - J. Howard makes shot. Assist: J. Terry

[CubanMustGo]

This ain't rocket science. Put a hard foul on Howard. I don't give a shit if bowen has three fouls.

[aaronstampler]

TP 0-2, Bowen burned twice by Howard. Fabulous start.

[fallenmongol]

Ball movement! Ball movement!

Move the ball TONY!!!!!!!

[1Parker1]

Ok, that's not the kind of second half start I had in mind....:(

[ducks]

San Antonio 18 30 0 48 9:52

Dallas 27 26 4 57 3rd

[SpursGo25]

Once again, not posting up TD early and getting in too big of a hurry which results in TO's. Missed open jumper. Poor Defense. Not this again.

[nkdlunch]

Holy shit. Spurs are still in the locker room for 2 first mins of 2nd half??????????????????????????????????????????

[Fabbs]

Pop is getting owned by Avery.

come up with an offensive plan.
Haltime report all he can do is Babble about the defense......

[vsnba]

Put hard foul on Howard and Harris that it

[Deb]

Throw their asses on the floor. Don't even think foul now.

[j-6]

This ain't rocket science. Put a hard foul on Howard. I don't give a shit if bowen has three fouls.

Truth. Or draw a frickin' charge.

[Don Quixote]

And it's beyond doing one thing that will "fix" the problem. Inserting Rasho or going big or going small, none of those will do anything except maybe make the final score prettier.

The bottom line is, the Mavs are better.

[Spurologist]

2nd half possesions:

1. TD shoots a jumper
2. Barry drive on the 1 vs. 4 break and gets stripped. Smart play.
3. TP shoots a jumper

Wrong people doing the wrong things

[SpursGo25]

This ain't rocket science. Put a hard foul on Howard. I don't give a shit if bowen has three fouls.
They shouldnt have to foul. They should have stopped the ball beyond the three point line like you're taught to do in junior high.

[ObiwanGinobili]

:lol I'll come in at halftime!! I need to concentrate on the game:)


LIARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Deb]

And it's beyond doing one thing that will "fix" the problem. Inserting Rasho or going big or going small, none of those will do anything except maybe make the final score prettier.

Not better, just playing with more heart.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Its 9:01, And Mavericks Still Suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1Parker1]

:pctoss I'd like to see a Spurs lead at some point. Is this the worst defense Spurs have played all season?

[1Parker1]

LIARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol I'm sorry!!!!! I was too pissed at the game.

[CubanMustGo]

They shouldnt have to foul. They should have stopped the ball beyond the three point line like you're taught to do in junior high.

True, but if they go down everytime they drive they will think twice about it the next time.

[Deb]

Talking like Josh Howard is the MVP or something

[SpursGo25]

This doesnt even look like the team that responded to SAC. Surely they will come with some heart sooner or later. They showed they are a championship team in games 5 and 6 against Sac.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

This Game Is A Farse Man, Spurs Are Now Trying To Lose

[Deb]

Still, shame on the Spurs for not playing with more heart.

[Tobias]

Horry and Parker puuting on a brick-fest

[1Parker1]

Horrible possession out of timeout.

[ashbeeigh]

The boards! The boards! :depressed

[fallenmongol]

geezaaz. make a shot pls!!

[NASpurs]

Have the Spurs forgotten about TD?!

[j-6]

Its 9:01, And Mavericks Still Suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Spurs Did Not Just Wake Up They Are Still Down 7 In Case You Did Not Realize

[Tobias]

Take Brick Barry out, put Manu back in. Don't let him lose the rhythm it looked like he was starting to recover.

[SuperManu!!!]

Sorry, but offense by parker or manu doesnt work....duncan is our star

[1Parker1]

Nazr, Oberto, AND Rasho all in the doghouse.....?:lol

[Deb]

Even Friggin Hubie making fun of the Spurs small ball. Shame on Pop

[Tobias]

Tony, you're not a one-man show. Leading scorer in the season yes, but not a damn super hero

[ashbeeigh]

Now if they would show that kind of heart after the jump ball.
