Spurs vs. Mavericks Game 5 -- Game Blog

[ca®lo]

4 point play hell yeah!!!

[Mavs<Spurs]

DUNCAN AND 1!

Keep it up Timmy.

No, actually it was Duncan and 2!!!

[Rummpd]

About time they miss one!

[Leetonidas]

Tim is fucking AMPED.

[ballhog]

Time to blow the stinkin' doors off!!!

[Rummpd]

Duncan is pissed and playing like it!

[J.T.]

OMFG, please get their candy asses in the penalty with 9 minutes left. That would be fucking icing.

[ballhog]

Stackhouse not making every shot all of a sudden.

[Spurologist]

Vanx should never guard Harris

[ducks]

tp has a bad groin spurs need him in 4 he has to have a breather

[sanman53]

4 team fouls already for the Mavs. Theyll make it up in the 4th.

[Rummpd]

I like it and the Spurs are up 9 but Harris to the line.

[J.T.]

God stopped that from going in. Make that scrub faggot bitch candyass earn his shit.

[yeahone]

nve with an assit omg

[Mavs<Spurs]

Barry!

Dallas think they are the Suns?

[Jimcs50]

Harris is faster than TP

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Harris has been ice cold for a young guy

[strangeweather]

Duncan: 5-5, 11 pts.

[J.T.]

De-fense!

[ducks]

harris does not have a bad hip and groin

[Jimcs50]

Finley!!!!

[ballhog]

Finley!!!

[J.T.]

Findog With The Jam!

[Rummpd]

Great assist and dunk by Finley

[sanman53]

VanX to Fin! Wow!

[J.T.]

Get Tony back in this shit now.

[ShoogarBear]

Still no defense out there.

[Nero]

If we shoot 70% we'll probably win.

[Jimcs50]

harris does not have a bad hip and groin

Damn, ducks, are you in love with Parker. He is Evas, give it up, man.

[strangeweather]

Van Exel: 2 assists, 1 shot.

Who knew?

[ca®lo]

take it easy spurs.. one goal at a time.. then make stops.

[Rummpd]

Spurs need to pull away - i want a double digit lead going into halftime!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Duncan: 5-5, 11 pts.
So far the problem hasn't been Duncan and Parker and Gino getting theirs...it's been our perimeter shooting and defense that doesnt let us get comfortable leads with these Dallas turds.

[Jimcs50]

Still no defense out there.

No Rasho, no interior defense.

You would think that Pop would put 2 and 2 together. :rolleyes

[JoeChalupa]

great pass NVE!!

[milkyway21]

whoa another foul on Brent.

[blackbucket]

Somebody Fuckin Put Harris On His Ass Once!!!!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Jcs, who guards Dirk?

How many times must we discuss this?

[Spurologist]

Idea: Since all Harris does is get baskets on pick and rolls, quick trap him as he dribbles off of a pick and get a steal.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I like how Van Exel provided a couple assists...if only we can balance out our iso-plays with Duncan, Parker...we just need our 3 point shooting to fall, we can pull away...

[ducks]

Damn, ducks, are you in love with Parker. He is Evas, give it up, man.

tp could beat him if he was healthy

[Jimcs50]

Jcs, who guards Dirk?

How many times must we discuss this?


Put Bowen on Dirk....Rasho would replace Horry

[sanman53]

50+% Shooting is still to high. Come on D-E-F-E-N-S-E!

[strangeweather]

No Rasho, no interior defense.

When reaching the paint nets you an automatic foul, Rasho might be pointless out there.

[Jimcs50]

tp could beat him if he was healthy


Yeah, and my dad can beat up your dad.

:rolleyes

[Mavs<Spurs]

fouling does not equal defense.

[ducks]

No Rasho, no interior defense.

You would think that Pop would put 2 and 2 together. :rolleyes


you would think pop explained in his show rasho and nazr sucked down the stretch so you do not play them

not a hard concept

[Nero]

How can the Spurs still be boring? We play like the Suns for christs sake. Neither team can board or play D. TD doesn't dunk as much as Amare, but Parkers slashes more than Nash, so we should be just as exciting, right?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

tp could beat him if he was healthy
Well he's not...Harris is showing him up this series..especially with him contributing to the wins...

Do you really have to throw in needless pouting?? Shut Up! Parker this and that.

[1Parker1]

NVE and Tony at the same time does not work well :(

[ducks]

Yeah, and my dad can beat up your dad.

:rolleyes

no my dad is much taller then you and your dad :lol

[JoeChalupa]

Getting away with fouls equals defense.

[smeagol]

Damn, ducks, are you in love with Parker. He is Evas, give it up, man.
You've only realized this now? :lol

[Nero]

Ducan forced to help, offensive rebound. shit.

[1Parker1]

DIOP has 6 FUCKING points?! WTF.

[strangeweather]

That was a shitty 3, Tony.

[milkyway21]

96 members, no guests? :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

All we need to do is beat them with 5 of our players...Last time on Monday they beat us with a 5 on 4, and cancelled out our killer performance which normally would have killed a team with an inferior offense...but this team has 4 guys that can score enough.

[smeagol]

TD playing like the MVP he is!

[ducks]

Well he's not...Harris is showing him up this series..especially with him contributing to the wins...

Do you really have to throw in needless pouting?? Shut Up! Parker this and that.

FUCK YOU
tp has been less then 100% except for one game this series

that is the fucking truth

[JoeChalupa]

damn it....here they come.

[ballhog]

No witz can't miss. Fuck.

[ca®lo]

time to pull nve out

[1Parker1]

Spurs still haven't found their defense. Not good.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I gave up watching tha NBA for a few days, score?

[aaronstampler]

It's not good for our offense when TP has more FGA attempts than Tim and Manu combined.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

FUCK YOU
tp has been less then 100% except for one game this series

that is the fucking truth
weirdo.

[Nero]

4 of Diop's points have been easy putback when TD had to help out cuz our swingment got blown by and Nazr/Rasho are AWOL.

[Jimcs50]

TP misses another layup.

If he could hit a layup, we would close out this series tonight.

[sanman53]

Im listening to this on the radio, and when the Mavs score, I can still hear Mavs fans.

[strangeweather]

No witz can't miss. Fuck.

At least he has to shoot from the field this time.

[G-Nob]

Where the fuck are our centers!?!?!?!? This isn't championship basketball.

[SA Gunslinger]

TP can't make a jumper. That is making me nervous. At least shoot it with confidence. He is just shooting it just to shoot it.

[Rummpd]

This lack of defense is not Spurs ball - at some point I keep thinking I am going to wake up and see Rasho or Nazr come on court then I think, nah, Pop is too stubborn.

[ballhog]

Get Nazr in there. Can't be any worse in the middle right now.

[Spurologist]

96 members, no guests? :lol

Guests almost always double members. It was removed to help the server

[G-Nob]

Get Nazr in there. Can't be any worse in the middle right now.


Why doesn't Pop trust him?

[J.T.]

Any season ticket holder that sold their shit to a Mavs fan should burn in hell forver. Unforgivable.

We need to D up on these pussies. I would like to see Dirk get blocked at least once.

[Spurologist]

TP can't make a jumper. That is making me nervous. At least shoot it with confidence. He is just shooting it just to shoot it.

right. If he makes he is shooting with confidence; if he doesn't he isn't shooting with confidence

[ballhog]

Time for Manu to get busy in there.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Where the fuck are our centers!?!?!?!? This isn't championship basketball.
I don't know why Pop's forcing the issue!...he could at least put them in, Parker's been running hte one-man offense anyway regardless of Rasho or Nazr being in, so I doubt they'd affect the Ball-Movement.

Doesn't he get it..just cuz we ALMOST won with SMALL BALL means SOMETHNG NEEDS TO PUT US OVER THE TOP... AND THAT'S JUST A STRETCH OF DEFENSE!! C'MON! POP

[smeagol]

How did TP's layup not go in?

[Jimcs50]

Where the fuck are our centers!?!?!?!? This isn't championship basketball.


Thankyou


3 championships with centers....lose 3 or 4 to Dallas w/o centers.

Coincidence?

[picnroll]

Score?

[bonesinaz]

#3 on Diop

[Spurologist]

Van Horn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ballhog]

Dirk's gonna have to play center here pretty soon.

[J.T.]

Van Choke Sighting

[Mavs<Spurs]

Yeah, and my dad can beat up your dad.

:rolleyes

So, you believe that Jason Terry is normally better than Tony Parker? Other than among Mavs fans, this is not the consensus view.


don't be stupid. Tony's groin injury and thigh injuries are temporary. In about a week, he will feel fine.

Do you judge who is a better player on the basis of a week?

[cheguevara]

KVH is in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


We just won the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :elephant

[bonesinaz]

Spurs got this! KVH in the game

[genghisrex]

Van Choke Sighting
Spurs win.

[Melmart1]

KVH sighting! OHHHHH....

[sanman53]

Dang, 1 pt game, PUT THESE GUYS AWAY!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

right. If he makes he is shooting with confidence; if he doesn't he isn't shooting with confidence
Parker's jumper is unreliable...Save it for later...he should stop with the one-track mind stuff and adjust to the moment..it squanders up our offensive opportunities...I know he means well, with Pop tells me to shoot when open. Pop tells me to jack up 25 shots...I don't want to knock him, because he's done more good, but at times he shouldn't be a robot about it...

[bonesinaz]

43 Spurs
41

[aaronstampler]

It'd be neat if we could take advantage of KVH like they abuse NVE

[milkyway21]

Where the fuck are our centers!?!?!?!? This isn't championship basketball.i AM thinking the same way since this series started too! :angel

[strangeweather]

Our lucky charm. Woo hoo!

:rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin

[ducks]

van horn fouls

[aaronstampler]

Nice play by Manu...

[J.T.]

Spurs Ball thanks to Van Choke!

[bonesinaz]

Kvh To!! :lol

[Jimcs50]

So, you believe that Jason Terry is normally better than Tony Parker? Other than among Mavs fans, this is not the consensus view.


don't be stupid. Tony's groin injury and thigh injuries are temporary. In about a week, he will feel fine.

Do you judge who is a better player on the basis of a week?


A week hell...the Spurs will be fishing in a week.

You guys are such apologists....all I said was that Harris is faster and you all whine like little girls.

Damn sensitve men.

[G-Nob]

I'm sorry their small ball is better. Eventually we need to get a stop. Finley on Howard is a joke.

[Nero]

Notice how far off Finley was playing Howard. Surely our bigs could do that.

[ballhog]

No love from the refs for Van Horn.

[bonesinaz]

Spurs 46
Mavs41

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fer christsake, get a centre in, zone up, and make their jumpshooters beat us!?

WTF is Pop doing?

[ca®lo]

please keep KVH in the game

[aaronstampler]

Jesus Christ how many and-1s are they gonna get this series? Can't we foul anyone hard enough for them to miss?

[ballhog]

finley is a defensive liability.

[milkyway21]

hey how many lay ups Tony missed since 1stQ?

[Nero]

Finley has given up 2 drives to Dirk and 1 to Howard.

[Jimcs50]

Van Horn is in...Put Rasho in!!!

[CubanMustGo]

KVH is guarding TD now ?? If so it is time to FEED TIMMMAY !!!

[exstatic]

AJ must be on crack. Turnstile Van Horn on Tim.

[strangeweather]

KVH: 2 min, 2 fouls.

Downside: 1 more and he'll be back on the bench. :depressed

[bonesinaz]

KVH foul#2.

46 Spurs
43

[Jimcs50]

Spurs have given up 100 pts three straight playoff games, the is first time since 1993.

Why??? No centersd, that is why.

[smeagol]

Toot my Van Horn!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

We need to rebound...we need a CENTER..offensive Rebounds has made the difference in this series.

[J.T.]

3 on Bruce, not good.

[CubanMustGo]

Tim missed both FTs :depressed

[milkyway21]

whoa Tim missec 2FTs

:flag:

[aaronstampler]

NVE again? What? I'd rather see Roho.

[bonesinaz]

Irk with FT again. Singing to himself.

[Nero]

You guys realize they're going to even up the freethrows in the 2nd half. That's why I hate these ticky tack fouls on their team. We suck at shooting fts and would be better off without them.

See?
Dirk goes to the line for TD's trip. Terrible.
Bowen is not adjusting.

[Jimcs50]

AJ must be on crack. Turnstile Van Horn on Tim.


zero points by TD...it worked

At least AJ is trying to change things up

[1Parker1]

Brent and Bowen with 3 fouls. Finley and with 2. Great.

[ballhog]

Dirk has manlove for Hassellhoff.

[CubanMustGo]

Dirk didn't get a FT until 4:31 of the second. Must be a record.

[SPARKY]

Bruce gets foul #3 for getting hit by Nowitzki.

[sanman53]

All I have heard from the WOAI guy is "Holding foul on . . ."; "Holding foul on . . ."
For those watching the game, are these true holding fouls or cheap Dirk calls?

[bonesinaz]

3 on KVH

[Nero]

Stop calling stupid fouls refs.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Tim needs to start singing some Bob Marley during his free throws

[bonesinaz]

Dirk has manlove for Hassellhoff.

:lol It is now officially 'Dork'.

[CubanMustGo]

KVH trying to set the record for quickest DQ

[Jimcs50]

Anothet FT miss by Manu

[1Parker1]

Manu misses a FT, that's a sign.

[Jimcs50]

Nive shot, NVE

[J.T.]

NVE should not be shooting.

[ballhog]

No double dribble?

[aaronstampler]

I hate NVE. I've never hated any Spur more. Why does Pop keep playing him? What does he do out there?

[CubanMustGo]

A miss from NVE. Surprise.

[strangeweather]

HolyfuckniceshotTim!

[J.T.]

DUNCAN AND 1!

I love it.

[NASpurs]

lol @ Manu helping Tim up while stepping over Harris

[CubanMustGo]

Timmay AND ONE.

Now hit the FT got dammit!

[SPARKY]

At least they are calling the fouls on the Mavs down low.

[J.T.]

Make the FT... wait for it... wait for it... YES!

[blackbucket]

Small ball is exciting???? Fuck that. That isn't basketball. Basketball has offense and defense. Not layup after layup after layup.

[ballhog]

Mavs need to set up tents in paint.

[aaronstampler]

Anothet FT miss by Manu

Why is it everytime he misses one, you make sure to point it out? TP and TD can miss them by bucketloads, and they're excused.

[sprrs]

lol @ Manu helping Tim up while stepping over Harris

:lol And Terry pushing Manu out of the way

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

yay Timmy listened.

[sanman53]

Dang, Timmy is butter tonight!

Needs some help on D-fense and boards!

[Jimcs50]

Terry went right?????


:wow

[J.T.]

Nice shot Timmy!

[bonesinaz]

Td 9-9!!!!!!!!

[ca®lo]

timmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! come on!!!!!

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

Can Someone Please Get Van Exel Out Of The Fucking Game Jesus Christ

[Jimcs50]

Terry went right?????


:wow


Again, he went right???? Impossible

[ballhog]

Which one of our big guys fouls out tonight?

[blackbucket]

Get Fuckin Van Exel Out Of There!!!!! Jeeziz Pop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nero]

Van X is terrible!!!!!!!

[strangeweather]

23 points on 9 shots is just sick.

LMFAO at DirkWatch on TNT! :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

somebody needs to shut down ONE of the MAVS Scorers at least! The jumpshots are ridiculous.

[cheguevara]

Fuckin Refs trying to fould Van HOrn out cause they want the Mavs to win

[Spurologist]

Finally the truth comes out. Dirk is Gay, officially.

[CubanMustGo]

52-51, playing Dallas' pace.

[genghisrex]

It'd be nice if NVE didn't give Terry an open jumper every time Timmy hits a tough shot.

[ALVAREZ6]

I hate that damn screen they run for Terry.

WTF are the Spurs doing not adjusting to it, he makes it every time.

[milkyway21]

23 points for Duncan.

thank you Tim:worthy:

[JoeChalupa]

Tim.

[J.T.]

Yeah, it would be cool if we could stop Terry from doing that. It pisses me off to see the same plays on b2b possessions.

[Leetonidas]

Fuckin Refs trying to fould Van HOrn out cause they want the Mavs to win

:lol

Tim is a man posessed. Watch closely everyone, we're witnessing one of the greatest Tim Duncan performances in history.

[Jimcs50]

Can Someone Please Get Van Exel Out Of The Fucking Game Jesus Christ



I seriously want Pop fired if Spurs lose this series.

He is HORRIBLE and it is pissing me off.

[Nero]

We won't win this game shooting 60%. Our guys need to step it up and shoot at least 65% I think.

[1Parker1]

Small ball is just killing us. All of a sudden, Pop thinks Offense wins championships??? :pctoss

[ALVAREZ6]

Tim Duncan = MVP.



he is a raging monster out there.

[CubanMustGo]

Put Beno in, Pop! Crap, could he do any worse? At least he can hit a shot every now and then, and his D has got to be better than X's.

[blackbucket]

I hate that damn screen they run for Terry.

WTF are the Spurs doing not adjusting to it, he makes it every time.


Old man NVE is the problem.

[jmard5]

*lol* at nowitz... uhm.. david hasslehoff

[ca®lo]

lets go spurs!! pull away slowly..

[cheguevara]

Yes, we need something that resembles a Point Guard please

[ducks]

manu needs points or spurs lose

[Spurologist]

Terry = play the drive
Harris = play the jumper

[ballhog]

Fucking Dirk grabs the defender all the time on that pick and roll. Dammit.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

We won't win this game shooting 60%. Our guys need to step it up and shoot at least 65% I think.
Our offense has been decent...it's the Mavs percentage that needs to go down...

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

Is there a Free Beno campaign/club I can join?

[Jimcs50]

Tim Duncan = MVP.



he is a raging monster out there.


WTF cares?????

The TEAM needs to play some freaking defense.

It is all Pop's fault, damnit.

[ALVAREZ6]

Fucking Dirk grabs the defender all the time on that pick and roll. Dammit.
Dirk is a piece of German shit.

[Spurologist]

Put Beno in, Pop! Crap, could he do any worse? At least he can hit a shot every now and then, and his D has got to be better than X's.

Beno wins on D by default because Vanx is the worst defender in the league

[ducks]

Put Beno in, Pop! Crap, could he do any worse? At least he can hit a shot every now and then, and his D has got to be better than X's.

nve has some nice assist

[SA Gunslinger]

FG Pct. so far.
Mavs 22-40 .550
Spurs 21-35 .600

[sanman53]

58% (Spurs) to 53% (Dallas) FG%

52-51 score.

[ShoogarBear]

Small ball is just killing us. All of a sudden, Pop thinks Offense wins championships??? :pctoss
This is bullshit. Tim is having the game of his life and we can't pull away because we can't defend anybody.

[Jimcs50]

I told you, 1993

[ballhog]

Dammit. Sign Steve Kerr and sub for VanEx.

[CubanMustGo]

*lol* at nowitz... uhm.. david hasslehoff

I think the Spurs should start singing that damn song - badly off key - every time he heads to the line. You don't think that would blow his mind?

Hey, KVH is back.

[ShoogarBear]

1993???????????

[Leetonidas]

Terry just shoved Manu. How is that a blocking foul?

[ballhog]

Tim's gonna be out of gas in the 2nd half. He needs some help.

[Jimcs50]

1993???????????

I already said that 3 pages ago....pay attention!!!!

[JoeChalupa]

Need some distance from those damn Mavs.

[ducks]

WTF cares?????

The TEAM needs to play some freaking defense.

It is all Pop's fault, damnit.










no duncan wanted kidd so pop went to sign rasho so he would have a big to


instead of going after oneal first

[strangeweather]

You know, I'm tired of everyone saying that this isn't Spurs Basketball. Doesn't anyone respect the Iceman? ;)

[Leetonidas]

Oh my God...it's happening...AGAIN.

[CubanMustGo]

Another fucking AWAY FROM THE BALL bullshit call on us?

[JoeChalupa]

don't break guys..

[smeagol]

I seriously want Pop fired if Spurs lose this series.

He is HORRIBLE and it is pissing me off.
AHF, is that you?

[Leetonidas]

For the love of GOD, please put RASHO IN THE GAME.

[ShoogarBear]

fucking bullshit. Rasho, Nazr, Bateer, somebody!

[sanman53]

Timmy needs some help on D

[picnroll]

If Pop plays NVE in the second half I'll sign that Pop firing petition in a heartbeat. Pop is one stubborn fuck.

[strangeweather]

4 on Van Horn? OMFG

[ballhog]

Tim just did what Dirk does on every stinkin' pick and roll. Fuck.

[NASpurs]

:lmao @ Van Horn

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Yeah..We need to take this GAME in the 3rd quarter...And No more dicking around to Dallas' Favor ...Spurs are good enough to take this series...they should.

[Nero]

Nothing bother's Pop more than seeing a guy waltz down the lane?
Then how about a lineup change?
What happened on the last posession btw?

[milkyway21]

I seriously want Pop fired if Spurs lose this series.

He is HORRIBLE and it is pissing me off.shut up Jim. think of the 3 titles Coach Pops has given you in the last 7 yrs. you. You think that was easy to accomplish?

just pray we can pull this through. Let Holt decide who to trade in the summer.

:flag:

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

The missed ft's arent helping us either...MBENGA SIGHTING! HE DOES EXISTS!

[JoeChalupa]

In Pop I trust.

[bendmz]

Who Can Grow Some Balls And Put These Fuckers On Their Ass !!!!!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

I already said that 3 pages ago....pay attention!!!!
Chinese food.

[aaronstampler]

OMG. We play no defense. NONE. We're shooting 61% and can't get a lead.

[Nero]

Offensive rebound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CubanMustGo]

Mbenga Sighting !!!

[austinfan]

If we lose tonight, I'm putting the blame for the series on Pop. The Big 3 have played like lions--especially Tim--and we still can't pull away because of Pop's fixation on small ball and Van Exel. I really, really don't get it.

[Leetonidas]

Nice Play!

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

Holy Jesus! Nice pass TP!

[ShoogarBear]

Fucking Duncan is going Christian Laettner on them.

[JoeChalupa]

I don't blame Pop.

[milkyway21]

shit! (sorry! :D). Duncan w/ 28 pts in the 1st half?

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

Cmon people! GO SPURS GO!

[blackbucket]

I love Pop but he is a fuggin stubborn mule

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

Wow...

[G-Nob]

AJ gets his 3rd Center in the game and we can't get fucking one.

[strangeweather]

Oh fuck, that sucked.

[NASpurs]

What happened to Tony's layups? He's missed two gimmes.

[JoeChalupa]

Is it Pop's fault TP misses a layup?

[Leetonidas]

What a terrible way to end the half. Seriously. Fucking Tony Parker, give up the ball you fucking ball hog.

[Spurologist]

Tp can't make a layup

[ShoogarBear]

That's their new trademark D to end the quarter.

[J.T.]

Nice collapse at the end. :flipoff :flipoff :flipoff

[aaronstampler]

Another missed layup by TP. Man he's awesome.

[milkyway21]

Tony missed a lay up again:cry

[Jimcs50]

Parker sucks...he always holds the ball and tries to score himself instead of passing the ball out.
Fuck that ball hog
