Spurs vs. Mavericks Game 4 -- Game Blog

[atxrocker]

parker had a scorching first quarter, he will need to be big in the second half. oh yeah, michael finley is a piece of shit

[exstatic]

Spurs went away from what was working: the clearout for Parker. He was owning.

[ALVAREZ6]

i liked the play where one mav tried to slap ginobili in the balls and then the other one tried to take the ball away from him; all after the whistle


where was the tech on that
Yeah I know WTF...


The refs have whistles and authority for a reason. If they want the ball, it is their job to request it.


Not fucking Terry and Howard crying like girls over it.

[Pistons < Spurs]

thas still not why the pistons lost. god you spurs fans love blaming the refs for everything dont you? its pathetic. yes the refs do suck and they do piss me off, but do you have to bring them up all the time?


true....oh so true.

[RON ARTEST]

have you seen the cavs and piston series

cavs d is not that great and that series is very low scoring
what does the cavs defense have to do with the pistons defense being better than the spurs? when is the last time you heard the words layup drill during a pistons game?

[Tek_XX]

Stern=strict enforcement of rules

20 travels called, 10 three seconds called, Horrys pinky toe in the circle, Bavetta breaks his fucking pelvis.

[Spurologist]

still don't understand how they called him for a delay of game. He was clearly tied up with two Mavs - why'd Finley get the technical?


Manu got the delay of game for the holding the ball and the FIN tech.... well if you touch someone the refs will call it.

[Deb]

"There is no Spurs defense. In the second half we need to play much better defense if we want to win."

You can't play good D anymore. Let's face it, the rules have changed. We will never play great D without 2 big men in the middle that can challenge layups. Our slow guards will not get it done.
Refs are controlling the D now too.

Just like they said, 10 years ago you wouldn't have seen 3/4 of these bullshit calls. Refs, Let them play.

[atxrocker]

The 5 travels were all legit travels.



I am not blaming the refs on that, it's clearly the Spurs fault for making knucklehead plays.

[picnroll]

Guess LeBron was in bounds afterall

[bybeeblitz]

Yall gonna do this shit about the refs again?!

[Spurologist]

There is going to have to be a time in the game where pop says fuck it and plays 5 guys and fuck substitutions.

[ducks]

Guess LeBron was in bounds afterall

he was OUT

[Tek_XX]

The 5 travels were all legit travels.



I am not blaming the refs on that, it's clearly the Spurs fault for making knucklehead plays.

I didn't say they were illegitamate, im just saying they're calling them.

[CubanMustGo]

Yall gonna do this shit about the refs again?!

Nobody's forcing you to read. Check out your own Dallas Morning News blog, they're doing the same thing.

[nkdlunch]

Yeah I'm a Spur fan and I'm getting sick of the ref talk myself. damn give it up

[Spurologist]

Guess LeBron was in bounds afterall

Kenny got owned

[Pistons < Spurs]

The 5 travels were all legit travels.




I am not blaming the refs on that, it's clearly the Spurs fault for making knucklehead plays..


Amen. Someone with their sanity still intact.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

The bottom line: San Antonio is 3-12 this season when allowing opponents to score 100 or more points. The Mavericks have broken that barrier three times against the Spurs and won every time.

thankyou!

[Pistons < Spurs]

he was OUT


no he was definetly in. they jsut showed the opposite camera angle. no doubt about it.

[nkdlunch]

Amen. Someone with their sanity still intact.

He ain't the only SPur fan here. I'm not complaining about the refs

[ALVAREZ6]

I didn't say they were illegitamate, im just saying they're calling them.
Well, WTF are you supposed to do when you see a violation????

[bybeeblitz]

You gonna do this spamming the forum shit with crap again?

ive been respectful the whole time, since i got here. But man, yall dont talk about yalls team or nothing. Not what yall have to do better but what fouls yall are getting and arent. Come on. I liked the forum but it's sickening.

[Pistons < Spurs]

He ain't the only SPur fan here. I'm not complaining about the refs
:tu :tu

[strangeweather]

The refs are calling the same things on both ends of the court. There are 12 fouls on the Mavs and 10 on the Spurs. And if the Spurs don't want to be called for travelling, they shouldn't travel.

They just need to work harder at getting to the paint and making key stops in the second half.

[Texas_Ranger]

Refs are controlling the D now too.

Just like they said, 10 years ago you wouldn't have seen 3/4 of these bullshit calls. Refs, Let them play.

This kind of fouls are called in Europe basketball

[picnroll]

he was OUT
AS badly as you want him to have been out they just showed another angle and he was clearly in by over an inch. Even Kenny Smith fessed up he was wrong calling Bron out. Sorry ducks.

[ALVAREZ6]

fuck man these playoff games take so damn long, by regular season standards, an 8:30 game should end at 11.

[Spurologist]

Yeah I'm a Spur fan and I'm getting sick of the ref talk myself. damn give it up

I was saying the same thing after game 3 but BS are BS calls. You have to call it like you see it. Refs can't do shit from preventing the spurs from winning. After Bowen huddled the team, there hasn't been much complaining.

[Texas_Ranger]

.

They just need to work harder at getting to the paint and making key stops in the second half.


Agree

[Tek_XX]

Well, WTF are you supposed to do when you see a violation????

Go ask an NBA ref

Go act naive, but you know they don't always call that three seconds or that travel

[ducks]

the point is they do not call traverling ever
they see it all the time
players carry the ball and travel always and gets away with it
in a must win game for spurs they start calling it


BS

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

At least we don't have to make a run to get back into the game.
We just need to kick ass for a whole half now!!!

[Spurologist]

fuck man these playoff games take so damn long, by regular season standards, an 8:30 game should end at 11.

halftime is soo long TNT doesn't have shit to talk about

[Cant_Be_Faded]

we need more game chatters yo

[RON ARTEST]

if pops doesn't play nazr or rasho the rest of this series he needs to be fired
the firing part is a little extreme but i do agree at least one of them has to play. rasho is a good shot blocker and it would be very tough for the mavs to get all the layups they are getting right now with rasho and duncan in the game together. if hes gonna continue to play this small lineup with duncan in there then hes gonna be in foul trouble and they are gonna continue to give up dunks and layups.

[bybeeblitz]

the point is they do not call traverling ever
they see it all the time
players carry the ball and travel always and gets away with it
in a must win game for spurs they start calling it


BS

they called it on josh too

[Deb]

Agree
From a Spurs fan, seeing the game called pretty equally tonight. But damn it, it is our forum, so if we need to do some ref venting, then it should be up to us. :madrun

[boutons_]

Spurs can't seem to keep their focus and intensity for more than 1 qtr at a time

Without Tony in the first quarter, the Spurs would be preparing their fishing gear.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why isn't Rasho playing???

He ain't great, but he can catch a ball, defends the paint very well, and their Cs are no offensive threat. I cannot see why he isn't in there to clog up the lane and block a few shots.

[Deb]

At least we don't have to make a run to get back into the game.
We just need to kick ass for a whole half now!!!
Amen brother

[Crookshanks]

Guys - we may not like David Stern, but he's no dummy. He's been hearing all the complaints about the officiating, so he decided to come oversee the game. You know it's going to be called really close now - the boss is watching!

Spurs can prevail because it should be consistent on both ends of the floor. Tony needs to keep taking it right to the basket and they need to play Spurs basketball and they will win! Believe!!

[ducks]

howard is sucking

[Nero]

yeah, I"d like to see Rasho.
Duncan's timing on rebounding looks off.

[CubanMustGo]

Let's talk Spurs. Game on.

[ducks]

11:17 SA - M. Finley defensive rebound
11:18 DAL - J. Howard misses a 5-foot jumper in the lane
11:23 DAL - J. Terry defensive rebound
11:25 SA - B. Bowen misses a layup
11:40 DAL - D. Nowitzki makes a 10-foot jumper along the right baseline

[Mavs<Spurs]

This does not look good. Turnovers is a concentration thing. If they can't bring themselves to concentrate and focus now, they don't have what it takes to win. Defense is an energy/effort thing, the will to expend the effort to get a win. If they wanted to win more, they would play better defense.

Going down 3-1, they won't come back.

They knew that coming in to this game and still threw away that 8 point lead.

Looks like they don't this game.


They had better start thinking clearly.

I sure hope that they turn this around, because if they lose without even getting to the finals of the western conference it's going to be a long and depressing summer. The Spurs have proven they can win it one year. They have not yet proven they can win it two straight years. Even if they win it next year, we will not know the answer to that question. The time is now for them to answer that question.

Heart. Do they have any?

[strangeweather]

Why isn't Rasho playing???

He ain't great, but he can catch a ball, defends the paint very well, and their Cs are no offensive threat. I cannot see why he isn't in there to clog up the lane and block a few shots.

Because Duncan is defending their centers and Rasho can't cover either Dirk or Howard.

[ducks]

10:14 DAL - D. Diop offensive rebound
10:15 DAL - J. Howard misses a 5-foot jumper in the lane
10:34 SA - M. Finley makes an 18-foot jumper along the right baseline. Assist: T. Parker
10:41 SA - T. Parker defensive rebound
10:42 DAL - J. Howard misses a 20-foot jumper from the left wing
11:00 SA - Layup by T. Duncan. Assist: B. Barry

[Nero]

I hated it when Nazr came in last game for 1 minute, made one mistake and was benched for the rest of the game. I think Pop is panicking, though he's always proved to know more about basketball than me in the past.

[ducks]

10:06 SA - B. Bowen defensive rebound
10:07 DAL - J. Terry misses a 20-foot jumper from the right wing
10:14 DAL - D. Diop offensive rebound
10:15 DAL - J. Howard misses a 5-foot jumper in the lane

[Pistons < Spurs]

** LETS GO SPURS ** WIN THIS FUCKING GAME

[CubanMustGo]

4 on Diop, the Mavs' very own Nazr.

[strangeweather]

I hated it when Nazr came in last game for 1 minute, made one mistake and was benched for the rest of the game. I think Pop is panicking, though he's always proved to know more about basketball than me in the past.

He made about 4 in that 1 minute. It was painful.

[Nero]

"Because Duncan is defending their centers and Rasho can't cover either Dirk or Howard."

Well, they can try some kind of zone defense. Howard doesn't have much of a shot anyway and I'm tired of seeing him overpower our old men.

Nazr screwed up a lot, but I think it's his confidence and cuz he's rusty. He's been dogged all playoffs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We need a dominatn third quarter from Duncan on O and Rasho on D, and then Manu to take it all the way in the 4th.

I think Pop is out-thinking himself right now - all this small ball is way too cute and goes away from Spurs Ball - DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE. When was the last time we locked a team down? Game 5 vs Sacto in the last 3 mins I guess, but apart from that, where has our D gone???

[ducks]

9:49 SA - T. Duncan hits the second free throw
9:49 DAL - J. Stackhouse enters game for D. Diop
9:49 SA - T. Duncan hits the first free throw

[WalterBenitez]

How is Dirk's ankle?

[picnroll]

This is where Duncan should kill them

[vsnba]

Please give ball to duncan

[ducks]

9:11 DAL - Shooting foul on D. Nowitzki
9:30 DAL - J. Howard makes a 5-foot jumper in the lane. Assist: J. Stackhouse

[RON ARTEST]

pop likes to get drunk.

[CubanMustGo]

Stack in for Diop .. who is guarding TD now?

FEED TIMMAY!

[strangeweather]

I just want to see more Oberto this half.

[picnroll]

Why can they bear hug Duncan but can't touch Dirk?

[Nero]

When was the last time we outrebounded a team?

[ducks]

9:11 SA - T. Parker hits the second free throw
9:11 SA - T. Parker misses the first free throw
9:11 DAL - Shooting foul on D. Nowitzki

[1Parker1]

FOULS FOULS FOULS!!! Refs are calling so many freakin ticky tacky fouls, it's ruining my enjoyment of the frickin game :flipoff

[strangeweather]

3 on Dirk! Niiiiice.

[ducks]

8:55 DAL - J. Terry makes an 18-foot jumper from the left wing. Assist: D. Harris
9:00 SA - Personal foul on B. Barry

[yeahone]

Figured Dirk wouldn't end up guarding Tim for long :lol

[ducks]

8:42 DAL - Shooting foul on D. Nowitzki
8:55 DAL - J. Terry makes an 18-foot jumper from the left wing. Assist: D. Harris

[strangeweather]

dirk is getting called for fouls thatys strange

They don't have a center in, so he's on Duncan.

[1Parker1]

Oh come on!!!!!!!!!! Terry for 3. Where's the D?

[ducks]

8:42 SA - T. Duncan hits the second free throw
8:42 DAL - E. Dampier enters game for J. Howard
8:42 SA - T. Duncan hits the first free throw

[Nero]

If that was Devin Brown he would have had the steal and gone for 2.

[Warlord23]

How about some motherfucking defense?

[CubanMustGo]

Mavs shootin a lot of jumpers in the third ...

[picnroll]

Damp used

[yeahone]

timmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyy

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Let's go Spurs!!!

Feed tha T-Dawg!

C'mon, let's blow this shit out.

[1Parker1]

GO TONY!!! Show that German what the French can do ! :elephant

[Jimcs50]

[strangeweather]

3 fouls on Damp too. Nice.

[Leetonidas]

Nice job. I'm surprised that Tony wasn't called for a foul.

[picnroll]

Cuban ready to write a blog

[ducks]

8:11 SA - T. Parker makes a 12-foot jumper from the left wing
8:29 DAL - J. Terry makes a 25-foot three-pointer from the left wing. Assist: J. Stackhouse

[austinfan]

So, Diop, 4. Nowitzki, 3. Dampier, 3. Good job Timmy.

[ducks]

7:35 SA - T. Duncan hits a free throw
7:35 SA - M. Ginobili enters game for M. Finley
7:35 DAL - Shooting foul on E. Dampier

[Nero]

Bowen needs to adjust. He's not slowing Dirk's shooting down. He's just putting the Spurs over the limit with those off the ball fouls.

[1Parker1]

TD 7-7 from the FT line


NOOOOOOOOOO! Jinxer.

[Texas_Ranger]

Go Timmy Go; You Are The Best

[Leetonidas]

The double teaming is getting annoying.

[strangeweather]

Where the fuck was the rotation onto Stack?

[Jimcs50]

Somebody elbow Stackhouse in the eye

[ducks]

pop needs tp to play 10 minutes in fourth not 6 POP

[Warlord23]

Did sombody touch Dirk?

You mean inappropriately, like Cuban does?

[Leetonidas]

Okay, how in the name of FUCK was that a foul?

[Jimcs50]

Put NVE in the game!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

TP pass the fucking ball.

[Tek_XX]

wow Barry makes those stupid passes doesn't he

[austinfan]

Sorry, but refs are handing this series to the Mavericks.

[Deb]

We need to control ourselves like vets should

[ShoogarBear]

WHAT THE FUCK DID BARRY JUST DO?

FUCKING CHICKENSHIT PASS TO DUNCAN.

DAMMIT you're a guard, stop playing fucking hot potato.

[ALVAREZ6]

we are so lucky to be up 1, we should be down 10.

[Horry For 3!]

Too many stupid turnovers :pctoss

[boutons_]

Barry throws the ball to Tim in the backcourt?

Spurs are fuckin spooked, Mavs can't miss.

[Jimcs50]

:tu Props to Brent Barry and his rebounding efforts this game.

and his assists

[Spurologist]

Put NVE in the game!!!!!!

there's an edit feature in spurstalk. You might need to use it.

5:41 SA - Offensive foul on T. Parker
5:45 SA - T. Duncan defensive rebound
5:48 DAL - J. Stackhouse misses shot

[Ginobili_20_gold_medalist]

Is it just me or do the Spurs make an effort NOT to give Ginobili the ball? :lol

Christ man. He's standing right in front of you and you throw a cross court pass that almost gets picked off.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

WHAT THE FUCK DID BARRY JUST DO?

FUCKING CHICKENSHIT PASS TO DUNCAN.

DAMMIT you're a guard, stop playing fucking hot potato.


No shit, what a fucking idiot, dribble the ball you pussy

[Tobias]

Why did Bent pass to Duncan in the first place!? :huh:

[Tek_XX]

How Many Times Has Barry Passed The Ball To A Big Man On The Break

[sanman53]

57 Spurs
51 Mavs

%'s shooting!
Defense anyone???

[ggoose25]

which ref called that offenisve foul on parker?

[DDS4]

My God. Enough of this small ball shit. The Spurs are playing right into the Mavs hands.

[ALVAREZ6]

WTF is up with all the 3's damn it.



The Spurs need to learn how to fucking pick a man, and STICK WITH HIM!!!!

WTF, these are concepts that you learn when your fucking 10....you should do this shit by now, don't leave your fucking man alone.

[jn77]

Need to slow the tempo back down. Control the ball better, and kick Bavetta in the nutz!

[WalterBenitez]

FOULS FOULS FOULS!!! Refs are calling so many freakin ticky tacky fouls, it's ruining my enjoyment of the frickin game :flipoff

I told you refs sucks ... but we still could win this one

[ducks]

how can the spurs be ahead by 1 they should be up by 10
look at the stats

[Texas_Ranger]

TP Bowen was all alone, why the fuck didn`t you pass the ball, you idiot

[1Parker1]

and his assists

:oops Maybe, I'm the jinxer.

[Jimcs50]

there's an edit feature in spurstalk. You might need to use it.


You are not serious are you???

[Crookshanks]

How was that an offensive foul - it sure didn't look like Harris was set and it looked like he was inside the "magic" circle. Oh well, Tony was a little out of control. They need to slow the tempo down and keep grinding down the Mavs. Their bigs are picking up fouls - which should open things up for Timmy.

[~Sweetmelody~]

This does not look good. Turnovers is a concentration thing. If they can't bring themselves to concentrate and focus now, they don't have what it takes to win. Defense is an energy/effort thing, the will to expend the effort to get a win. If they wanted to win more, they would play better defense.

Going down 3-1, they won't come back.

They knew that coming in to this game and still threw away that 8 point lead.

Looks like they don't this game.


They had better start thinking clearly.

I sure hope that they turn this around, because if they lose without even getting to the finals of the western conference it's going to be a long and depressing summer. The Spurs have proven they can win it one year. They have not yet proven they can win it two straight years. Even if they win it next year, we will not know the answer to that question. The time is now for them to answer that question.

Heart. Do they have any?


Well that was depressing....... :depressed



GO SPURS GO!!! I believe you have heart!! :elephant

[ALVAREZ6]

And Parker is so predictable on the fast break, he always cuts left and drives into his opponent....every time. He has begun to do this so often I call it from a mile away.


Damn it just jump and lay it up, its fucknig Harris, he wont block you. Either that or give the damn ball up.

[vsnba]

When duncan is playing good they don't give ball duncan

[CubanMustGo]

how can the spurs be ahead by 1 they should be up by 10
look at the stats

You missed this one

3FG
Mavs 5-11
SA 3-5

There ya go, six points.

[Jimcs50]

which ref called that offenisve foul on parker?

Stern

[RON ARTEST]

wow i have never seen the spurs play this sloppy in my life.

[themvp]

Go Spurs Go

[ALVAREZ6]

The Spurs are fucking doin Dallas a big favor by sucking so much ass.

You don't need to be set anymore. Welcome to the new NBA!

[strangeweather]

OK, time to get things under control during the time out.

[Supergirl]

Where is the Spurs bench? Where is Robert Horry? Spurs have scored 11 points from players not named TD, TP, or Manu. Stackhouse has 17, for god's sake. Our bench is better than Stackhouse. Come on.

[Deb]

Wel,, I guess we'll see if experience steps up here

[DDS4]

You would think with Diop and Damp in foul trouble we would go big.

[picnroll]

Never put in NeVEr

[Spurologist]

You are not serious are you???

NVE's impact has been ZERO. Ok manu feed him an assist. That is all.

If a certain "point" guard will ever get him the ball.

[Leetonidas]

Are you fucking KIDDING ME!

[ggoose25]

Stern

amen

[Tobias]

Horseshit!

[1Parker1]

Come on Spurs! This is Do or Die time. Show your Poise!

[Jimcs50]

Dirk got bailed out....again

[Spurologist]

Oh Shit Bowen Didn"t Touch Him On The Replay

[picnroll]

Unfuckingb belieable,. Flopinski

[Cant_Be_Faded]

this is the last post season i will ever watch in detail

[DDS4]

Bavetta is doing his usual bang-up job.

[austinfan]

Diop and Dampier are in trouble. Get the ball to Duncan.

[CubanMustGo]

Dirk 9 FTs on 8 shots. Starting to sound familiar?

[ducks]

5:20 DAL - D. Nowitzki hits the first free throw
5:20 SA - Shooting foul on B. Bowen
5:26 DAL - E. Dampier offensive rebound
5:28 DAL - E. Dampier misses a layup

[Nero]

What's the point of playing Dirk tight? They wait to see if he misses and call the foul when he doesn't. Just play lax defense and keep him off the line.

[FromWayDowntown]

Dirk's flopping needs to be subjected to a universal campaign like the purported flops of Ginobili. If Manu does it, Dirk is as bad or worse.

[picnroll]

Can Anyone Breathe On That Cocksucker Dirk Or Is That A Foul?

[Jimcs50]

Over the limit

[Texas_Ranger]

Refs suck

[strangeweather]

You would think with Diop and Damp in foul trouble we would go big.

Fuck going big. What they should be doing it is pounding it to Timmy on every possession.

[Leetonidas]

And Tony is shooting great from the line during the playoffs and now he decides to shoot like shit.

[Ginobili_20_gold_medalist]

Can the Spurs get some damn movement on offense? What kind of play is it where you give Duncan the ball 20 feet out and everyone just stands there watching? I've seen too many plays like that this series.

[Jimcs50]

It is ok, he has made only 1 of 2 the last 3 times at the FT line

[strangeweather]

Spurs FT: 21-24
Mavs FT 13-13

[Spurologist]

td Everytime Down The Rest Of The Way. FEED HIM

[vsnba]

oh god help spurs

[Tobias]

Really. The Mavs cant miss. Which means the Spurs CANT AFFORD to.

[Crookshanks]

I'll say it again - the Mavs bigs are picking up fouls - give the ball to Timmy and let him take it to the rim. They can't defend him - so let him do his thing!

[DDS4]

Refs aren't the frickin' problem.

When the Spurs decide to play some defense, we'll pull this out.

[1Parker1]

Spurs are not playing lockdown defense like they should be in the 3rd quarter of a pivotal game where they are down 2-1 in the series. :pctoss

[Tek_XX]

Where letting them have jumpshots, there not going to miss many 12 footers.

[Deb]

Nut up time Spurs. Show em who the champs are

[ducks]

big three all over 60 now

[CubanMustGo]

Jesus. I don't know if there is a defense what the jumpshots that the mavs are taking and making

These things even out. Lots of jumpers = fewer FTs and sooner or later they will stop falling.

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Spurs have a 24-13 advantage at the line :wow


Wow! Stop the presses!!

[yeahone]

lets use timmy and tony to pull away guys

[Jimcs50]

td Everytime Down The Rest Of The Way. FEED HIM



Feed me, Seymore!!!

[strangeweather]

I'll say it again - the Mavs bigs are picking up fouls - give the ball to Timmy and let him take it to the rim. They can't defend him - so let him do his thing!

Exactly -- keep pounding until they have to field Mbenga, and then we can really go to town.

[Tek_XX]

Pop made his bed here. We have Barry, Finley, VE playing significant minutes

VE hasn't played significant minutes here.

[strangeweather]

VE hasn't played significant minutes here.

6 minutes from Van Exel seems like an eternity.

[CubanMustGo]

Manu is officially ballin' in the third.
