Go Spurs Go

We Believe

[AmericanPsycho]

I'm nervous as hell.

[mavsfan1000]

I got a good feeling about this game. The spurs better have one heck of a plan because the mavs can hit you on all cylinders on offense while protecting the basket on the other end. Mavs before Harris struggled to penetrate but now with Harris don't have that problem.

[NASHville]

I think this game may be decided within the first 5 minutes of play.

[Jimcs50]

Massacre the Mavs !

[Mavs<Spurs]

Spurs come back strong after getting embarassed, especially with a healthy Timmy.

Spurs are the better team. A healthy Tim Duncan is about as good a player in basketball as there is (remember defense and rebounding are pretty important parts of the game- best player does not necessarily mean best offensive player).

Spurs either most or one of the most efficient teams in the league in field goal percentage offense and field goal percentage defense.

Got somebody ready to clean up that grease spot on I 35? Anybody ready to get the license plate of that big rig which is coming your way?

Ready for the sound of inevitability? Mavs going down, Spurs reclaim hca.

[Texas_Ranger]

We will win this one, I`ve got a good feeling.

GO SPURS GO!!! :flag: :flag:

7:00 CST

[boutons_]

I thought a few days ago, that a either a Game3 or 4 W would suffice, but now I think the Spurs have to take Game3 to kill the Mavs mo, and do it @AAA.

Losing Game3, going down 1-2, and still having to face the Mavs @AAA for Game4 would be unncessarily tough.

Get the W tonight, and put all the pressure back on the Mavs for Game4.

Go Spurs Go

[mavsfan1000]

Any idea who is starting for the spurs or if there is any lineup changes?

Spurs' Finley quietly rises above fray
Web Posted: 05/13/2006 12:26 AM CDT
Mike Monroe
Express-News Staff Writer

DALLAS — The defining moment of the first two games of the Western Conference semifinal series between the Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks occurred with 7:34 remaining in Tuesday's Game2 at the AT&T Center.

The Spurs' Michael Finley drove to the basket for what appeared to be a dunk, only to be met in the air by the Mavs' Jerry Stackhouse. Stackhouse got his hand on the ball and blocked the attempt so forcefully that Finley, 33, and a veteran of 11 seasons, ended up flat on his back under the basket.

Stackhouse, his team leading by 18, stood over Finley and glared at him, earning a technical foul.

Finley endured the taunt with typical stoicism.

When a team has unceremoniously waived you after giving it nine great seasons, what's one more insult?

Finley returns today to the city where he starred for its NBA team. He was a two-time All-Star and scored 12,389 points for the Mavericks, which makes him the No.4 scorer in franchise history.

He is ready for a playoff game he knows could be critical to a personal quest he insists has no added motivation other than that which drives every player — an NBA title.

"There's no personal vendetta to beat Dallas," Finley said. "I just want to be the last team standing at the end."

The Mavericks also insist there was nothing personal about their decision to waive Finley last summer as part of the league's one-time amnesty clause.

It was strictly business for a team that was paying the NBA's luxury tax, a dollar-for-dollar penalty applied to payroll amounts that exceeded a tax threshold of roughly $61million last season.

Even Finley knew the move made business sense for the Mavericks.

It was still emotionally difficult for both sides, and Finley believes the Mavericks did not behave entirely honorably.

"Before the amnesty thing came up ... I was planning to end my career (in Dallas)," Finley said. "But when my name came up and I started hearing things from the front office I thought were unfair for me, then it would have been tough for me to come back, even if I hadn't been waived."

Asked to elaborate on what had angered him to the point he wanted out of Dallas, Finley refused. Perceived insult, he admitted, came only via hearsay from other NBA teams.

"This is not the time to talk about (what I heard)," Finley said. "Just some things I felt were not fair toward me."

Stackhouse's emergence as a reliable scorer for the Mavericks made the club's decision to dump Finley easier for the basketball staff to accept, which only served to make Stackhouse's taunt in Tuesday's game doubly insulting.

Once one of the Mavericks' team captains, Finley got the backing of his new team captain when it came to dealing with Stackhouse's Game2 taunt.

"We're going to do our best to get up and win these games and get the series," said Tim Duncan, who called Stackhouse's actions Tuesday "fake hype."

"We'll see who's glaring at the end."

Almost time for the Mav's whipping.

Cavs are going to get one on the Pistons. cool.

[boutons_]

Pistons, coasting into the Finals, let the Cavs get this one W of their system, just like the Pistons did vs Bucks.

Cavs have the same chance as a snowball in hell. Pistons 4-1.

Why is Oberto in this early anyways?

[Deb]

Friggin Cuban. If they show his ugly face one more time I'll shoot the TV

[1Parker1]

Damn, this isn't how I expected the Spurs to come out. Parker needs to hit those shots and run better plays for Tim. Spurs look a little lost on the offensive end. Seems like they're spending so much time just setting up the play at the other end, getting the guys at the right spots, etc.

[~Sweetmelody~]

*takes shot of tequila*

GO SPURS GO!!!

[1Parker1]

And why does everyone keep pointing out that Harris is looking like Parker out there!!! :pctoss

[Mavs<Spurs]

What does Tim have to try to win every game by himself?

Manu isn't starting because he isn't playing well enough. Tony is 1 for 5?

No defense, allowing the Mavs to shoot 50 %.

[Tek_XX]

Spurs can't get down big here, don't think they can come back.

[MannyIsGod]

Tony Parker taking a jumpshot with Diop on him is not smart. Thats an automatic drive.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

This is not going good, its exactly how the first and second games started out, if this is all we can get from our team this is not going good

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

nice to see Oberto learnt his flop tricks from Manu lol........

[1Parker1]

*takes shot of tequila*

GO SPURS GO!!!


:lol Good idea.

[ducks]

spurs 0 is alittle off they have a new starter
it will be ok

[Deb]

Damn, this isn't how I expected the Spurs to come out. Parker needs to hit those shots and run better plays for Tim. Spurs look a little lost on the offensive end. Seems like they're spending so much time just setting up the play at the other end, getting the guys at the right spots, etc.
Looks like they are playing tentative. Just need to drive in.

This is just not the Spurs basketball I am used to seeing. We look tentative and uneasy.

As much as I like Obierto, he's not playoff tested. Get him out of there.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

GET OBERTO THE FUCK OUT OF THERE
POP IS A GOD DAMN IDIOT
JESUS CHRIST!


for fuck's sake, he has to have the worst substitution patterns in NBA history
unbelievable

god damn

[Spurologist]

Manu starts to show some signs and everyone can't do shit ala Tim Duncan game 2.

[Tek_XX]

i love the no look pass

[A-Train]

You have got to put size on the floor. Letting your opponent dictate the style of play is not the answer.

[MannyIsGod]

I know our centers suck, but godamn there's no way we can go this small and get any boards! Why don't they get that rebounding is a huge fucking key!

[mookie2001]

Pop and Tony are killing me.

Pop with this stupid lineup.
the small lineup is one of timvps keys to victory!

[Manu20]

2:44 SA - Bad pass by T. Parker
3:02 DAL - Layup by J. Howard. Assist: J. Stackhouse
3:06 DAL - D. Nowitzki defensive rebound
3:10 SA - M. Ginobili misses a layup
3:19 DAL - Foul on D. Harris

Spurs trail 22-13.

[1Parker1]

Frickin Tony Parker!!! Oh, and I really don't feel comfortable having Oberto out there. Pop needs to put Nazr out there....we desperately need offense. And you can't have Oberto AND Bowen out there when you need offense, esp, with Duncan out. Spurs down 8 in the first quarter. Mavs already scored 23 points in the first quarter, with 3 minutes left.

[bonesinaz]

Mavs shooting 53%. This won't last either.

[whottt]

Oberto is not the problem right now...Parker is.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

the small lineup is one of timvps keys to victory!

[Spurologist]

It's really starting to annoy me that Harris and Howard are getting to the best when they are average shooters AT BEST

:tu Spurs playing very tentatively out there. I don't see that motion they were preaching.

[Deb]

Get our big guys on the floor. This is our type of basketball. This small ball crap is sucking

[WalterBenitez]

WHo was that sputipd ref that was not ready for TP's pass???

[Tek_XX]

Where's steve kerr.

[nkdlunch]

Timmy and Manu came to play. Parker sucking nuts :(

[bonesinaz]

I friggin hate ABC.

[MannyIsGod]

Harris is blowing me away. As are the way Dirk gets every foul.

[Tek_XX]

looking at pops face, do you think he has a clue?

[ducks]

2:44 SA - T. Duncan enters game for F. Oberto

[loveforthegame]

I wonder if Cuban will write in his blog about the fouls and ft's in this game?

[Tek_XX]

We should try out VanX or Beno if parker continues being bad.

Pop is most probably chewing out parker during that timeout :D

[mouse]

Is this a game blog or a bitch blog? only 1st quarter and all the meltdowns? :lmao

[Deb]

This is just making me sick. Mavs up 13?

[yeahone]

we need to do better 13 freet throws in one quarter

[Cant_Be_Faded]

The spurs have been playing from behind on 96% of the plays since the start of game 1.

Good sign, huh. Good thing we're going small ball.

[A-Train]

At least this group of officials is calling offensive fouls.

[WalterBenitez]

[Spurologist]

Just like that last one on Parker?

I don't think sliding is a defensive move if you want a charge

[Cant_Be_Faded]

god damnit hte mavericks are like the spurs doppelgangers now

[Manu20]

Considering the Spurs shot 25% in the 1st Q they are lucky to be down by only 9.

[Deb]

Just like that last one on Parker?
Just a little pest - put out the poison

[ducks]

tp has missed 3 layups tonight

[1Parker1]

Interior defense is non-exisitent.

[snowboarder]

Spurs need to stop shooting and start penetrating

and REBOUND!!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

smallllllll balllllllllllllll

that should be the new spurs theme for the postseason
