Spurs vs. Mavericks Game 6 -- Game Blog

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Go Spurs Go Go Spurs Go

[sanman53]

My goodness, what a series! What a game!

[1Parker1]

Finley with the steal and the slam!

[strangeweather]

Dirk over the fucking back.

This is letting them play. I'll take it.

[ballhog]

Time to knock out another Dork tooth!!!

[Horry For 3!]

Howard whining to the refs when it should have been a traveling call :lmao priceless

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

o-boards 7-3 to them

[Doc Jerome]

Now Manu can't play D! Damn!

[greyforest]

finley's headbutt is the greatest thing this series

[WalterBenitez]

We need to win this game for FINLEY

[milkyway21]

he he Mike finley has already stolen Dirk basketball TWICE.

ha ha

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Lets Go Spurs Kick Their Asses

[genghisrex]

I think Fin forgot which side was over-and-back for a sec there.

[Horry For 3!]

Finley has had a lot of throw down dunks in this series

[ballhog]

So many guys backing off trying not the get fouls. Dirk can do whatever he wants.

[1Parker1]

If Parker were making his shots, Spurs could be up 10 right now! Come on Tony...this is not the way you want to end your awesome season!

[AMOS7]

"Duncan has a little one"

[Horry For 3!]

Now only if Tony can do anything, he is non-existance right now

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Ok now we're ready to make a run ...BELIEEVVEE...

[strangeweather]

Finley has had a lot of throw down dunks in this series

Fin has been awesome in this series. He really wants that ring. :)

[Spurologist]

Now Manu can't play D! Damn!

He's clearly backing off. He doesn't want to pick up a fourth. He would be reaching for a steal if he wasn't in foul trouble

[Doc Jerome]

Come on Spurs! Put your foot on the Mavs collective necks!

[dimsah]

I would rather they beat us with jump shots than with layups.
Please try the big lineup. Pretty please. Just for a couple of minutes.

[greyforest]

So many guys backing off trying not the get fouls. Dirk can do whatever he wants.

dirk should be intentionally fouling people, because his fouls are called against the spurs

[genghisrex]

So many guys backing off trying not the get fouls. Dirk can do whatever he wants.
Back off now, clamp down later. The Spurs just need to match them in the third.

[Tek_XX]

these 4 foot shots are killing us, how bout a center pop.

[AMOS7]

Fin has been awesome in this series. He really wants that ring. :)

Fin has been awesome all season for the Spurs.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

If Parker were making his shots, Spurs could be up 10 right now! Come on Tony...this is not the way you want to end your awesome season!
I think Tony will regroup himself in small doses when it counts. Right now he needs to just ...Relaxx..

[Horry For 3!]

Tony 2 for 12 :pctoss

[ballhog]

Man, who has more poster dunks in this series that Fin?

[Spurologist]

Now only if Tony can do anything, he is non-existance right now

his first quarter previous games = 4th quarter this game

[JustSpurs]

Step on necks Now, Please!

[BgT]

Looks like you just hopped on the bandwagon yourself Mr. 67 posts. Should have hopped on last year.
Yes, I'm a huge bandwagoner, signing up when 1-3 down. Don't post anymore, your post count just hit your IQ value, let it stay like that.

[Nero]

That little one will usually flop and draw a foul.

[milkyway21]

Now Manu can't play D! Damn!where were you when Manu stopped Stackhouse last sec shot? :smokin

but i agree with you he's not as good as Bowen but he can be good when needed. But he's a top stealer, so, that's okay with me.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

And now yahoo is stalled.... FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK!!!!!!!!!

I have tried eveything to watch, listen to, in some way know about this game, and it seems like the Universe just doesn't want me anywhere near it.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[strangeweather]

If Parker were making his shots, Spurs could be up 10 right now! Come on Tony...this is not the way you want to end your awesome season!

He also doesn't look like he has any of his usual burst -- either that or he's just being tentative on the drive.

[Doc Jerome]

Harris is frustrated. GOOD!

[RoscoRASHEEDWallace]

spurs really have gotten shafted with the officiating in this series.. referring mostly to game 4. they've had some rough calls tonight, but havent been playing well at all in this game 6, they are lucky to only be down 2. GO SPURS!

[Islymore]

amazin block!!!

[1Parker1]

Great, Barry in, Manu out. Barry needs to step up!

[genghisrex]

Crap, Tony.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Keep feedin Duncan they can't stop him.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Dirk Keeps Cleaning up off Duncan...

[greyforest]

GET PARKER THE FUCK OUT

GET HIM OUT FUCKING PERMANENTLY NOW FUCK HIM,a

[hitmanyr2k]

Another jumper by TP?!?

[sanman53]

Down by 2, with the Spurs not really playing D because of foul trouble is alright with me. Timmy is rested and ready!

GO SPURS GO!

[milkyway21]

Cuban was already drinkig champage at halftime.

Then, Duncan came back. :lol

[dimsah]

I'm officially beginning to hate Tony Parker.

[ballhog]

Shoot it Barry.

[Horry For 3!]

That was Barry's fault, he had a lay-up and throws it to Timmy

[1Parker1]

Tony Parker 2-13 :depressed

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Parker is killing you guys wake up Tony.

[sanman53]

I hope they hire an assist coach for Tony next season

[Doc Jerome]

Brent Barry F'ed up.

[Nero]

Walton is right. We're small AND slow. lmao

[greyforest]

fin is fuckin pissed

[Spurologist]

this is my last post until the end of the game.


SpURS WiLl WIn thIS GaME

[Horry For 3!]

Finley has got it going, Tony DO NOT SHOOT

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I'm officially beginning to hate Tony Parker.
I don't hate him for THIS. He's obviously hurt. but He shouldn't rely on his Jumper at a time Like THIS...ERRRR

[Deb]

Finley get on fire

[hitmanyr2k]

Finley and Ginobili have been great tonight.

[Horry For 3!]

Spurs no fucking hustle

[hitmanyr2k]

REBOUNDING killing the SPurs again.

[WalterBenitez]

Put Oberto And Seat That Blondie On The Floor

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Lack of rebounding wtf is going on???

[1Parker1]

OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS! :pctoss

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

The OFFENSIVE BOARDS! BY MAVS SMALLS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

[Horry For 3!]

Barry is scared, take him out of the game NOW

[greyforest]

lmao @ that call

[Islymore]

13 TOs for both teams???

[Deb]

Barry has not been great tonight

[ballhog]

Daniels had one foot in the circle.

[Trifecta]

Yahoo is jacked!

I am looking at the gamecast here (although I do not know how good the refresh is):

http://www.sportsline.com/nba/gamecenter/live/NBA_20060519_SA@DAL

[Doc Jerome]

Horrible call.

[AMOS7]

Give it to Finley, Ginobili, Duncan. Edit: Barry too!

Only them until the rest can prove they can deliver for their team.

[Horry For 3!]

OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS! :pctoss
The Spurs players watched the ball bounce to a Mav, no fucking hustle

[genghisrex]

Yes!

[greyforest]

nice nice nice

[strangeweather]

Nice transition passing! Fuck yeah!!

[Vinnie_Johnson]

And one Bang!!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

OK this team has been split in half... We got Barry, Parker falling into the bad half category..Duncan straddling it...

[bonesinaz]

Barry and 1, finally.

[milkyway21]

Finley is REALLY helping us through.

go for it Mike :flag:

[Horry For 3!]

Wow, Barry actually did something

[hitmanyr2k]

That was fuckin beautiful. Ginobili and Finley need to play huge minutes tonight.

[BgT]

Tony Parker 2-13 :depressed
Only 13 shots? Pop will be mad at him. Shoot more! It's your team! It's your night! You are hot!!! (says Eva and Eva only)

[ballhog]

Nice break. Playing like a team, not individuals, is gonna help beat this team.

[bonesinaz]

Block by TD!!

[greyforest]

i want to see what happens with parker out and nazr in.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Duncan just jumped backed into the good half.

[Islymore]

excellent block... stupid foul on quis...

[ducks]

nice pass tp

[ballhog]

Time for a big shot from Bob. Please.

[Doc Jerome]

That's it. Spurs must drive to the hole on every posession.

[1Parker1]

Dayyyum, Finley to the FT line, Daniels with 4 fouls! :elephant

[greyforest]

spurs by 1

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Come On Spurs!!! Take This Game! I Believee

[Horry For 3!]

Van Horn guarding Timmy :lol

[Nero]

TD's touch is really off.

[greyforest]

i want fin back in for all of 4th.

[ducks]

Daniels Foul: Personal (4 PF)

[Pistons < Spurs]

gotta love it when KVH is in.

[SilverPlayer]

c'mon spurs

[ballhog]

VAn Horn, nice 3 ball....nothing else.

[WalterBenitez]

NVE to the court?

[sanman53]

My goodness, do the Mavs ever miss?

[Doc Jerome]

This is a slow down type of game. Why doesn't Pop even try one of the 7ft slugs for rebounding.

[milkyway21]

the Spurs ARE controlling the 3rd Q

a lot of Mavs are already in foul trouble :cry

:cheer

[1Parker1]

Parker + Duncan =7/27 FG. And Spurs are still in this. PLEASE, LET US WIN THIS!

[strangeweather]

Fuck!!! 4 on Tim

[Nero]

Small Ball Bitches!!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

We just need to make a few stops from time to time and we're set .. .Believvee..

[WalterBenitez]

PUT Oberto!!!

[greyforest]

4th foul on duncan, another bullshit one!

[Horry For 3!]

Holy Fuck! Dirk over the back of Manu BIG TIME

[genghisrex]

Damnit, almost made it out of the quarter.

[Deb]

Golden Goat Boy fouled again

[ballhog]

How is that a foul? Dork does that all the time.

[dimsah]

where was the damn foul!

[1Parker1]

Dirk has 18 rebounds! Duncan picks up his 4th. :depressed

[hitmanyr2k]

It's a damn shame when you've been getting killed on the boards ALL SERIES LONG and you still don't have it in your head to put an emphasis on rebounding.

[Doc Jerome]

They are calling anything on Dirk.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Looked like tims hand went into Dirks face

[Horry For 3!]

What tha fuck is Manu doing, Manu dribble the damn ball

[greyforest]

phew, gino pulled that one out of his ass

[Doc Jerome]

Ginobili was damn lucky on that play.

[Islymore]

Ginobili was damn lucky on that play.

damn lucky...

[bonesinaz]

Manu FTs
1st one good.
2nd Good!
tied

[FreshPrince22]

hahah. Bad call on the flop... oh well.

GO SPURS GO! Keep the rematch hopes alive.

[greyforest]

goddamn that wouldve been great if fin hit it

[Horry For 3!]

Shit! That Finley 3 didn't go

[genghisrex]

I can live with a tied game.

[dimsah]

Shit! Tie game

[strangeweather]

One team. One goal. One quarter. Believe.

[Trifecta]

I was ready to erupt if FIN had popped that 3!!!!!!!!!

[1Parker1]

Damn, would have been sweet if Finley made that!

[WalterBenitez]

ok, ok, ok, oki ... we are in ...let's fly babies

[SilverPlayer]

Mavs don't look like they will beat a hundred...that has to be a good sign. =)

[milkyway21]

i don't care if Parker is choking tonight. as long as we get the W.


Manu finally figured out how to pull as through helping Tim

[sanman53]

WOW, FREAKING WOW! Tied game going into the fourth!

[Horry For 3!]

Tied game after 3


Whoever takes the 4th, wins.

[SA210]

2,837 post devoted to complaining about the refs.
doesn't make it invalid

[CubanMustGo]

All tied after three! GO SPURS GO !!!

[ballhog]

Travel on Ginobili. No call....I love it. Shit he missed the shot. We needed that 3.

[hitmanyr2k]

I've said it all series and I'll say it again. During this timeout in the huddle Popovich should be preaching....

"ONE and DONE". No more getting out-hustled for rebounds. No more 2nd and 3rd chances.

[FreshPrince22]

12 minutes....

[Extra Stout]

Tony's playing so badly that my asshole isn't puckering up anymore when NVE checks in.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

I hope we don't get the free throw parade in the 4th...

[SA210]

Finley's got huge balls. Ask Terry.

[BgT]

Spurs 3 off. boards
Mavs 11 fucking off. boards!!!

Fuck small ball! Fuck!

[austinfan]

I'm having flashbacks of Finals Game 7. Hope we get the same result.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

WOW, FREAKING WOW! Tied game going into the fourth!
SpuRRSS...Don't do this to us... For our Hearts sake Take it to a TEN POINT LEAD... AND KEEP it OVER THE MAVS.....BELIEVEE...

[CubanMustGo]

doesn't make it invalid


Give it a rest already.

[Horry For 3!]

Tony HAS to step up in the 4th

[austinfan]

Tony's playing so badly that my asshole isn't puckering up anymore when NVE checks in.

:lol

[TheSanityAnnex]

doesn't make it invalidYou seem to think the game is rigged........................why continue watching?

[Horry For 3!]

Timmy, Manu, Finley has got it goin..... still waitin on Tony

[Doc Jerome]

Final period. The season's on the line.

Will regular season TP show up?

Can Horry hit a 3 or two?

Will Manu pull something spectacular out of his ass?

[sanman53]

Timmy:
17 points in 23 minutes!

GO SPURS GO!

[PM5K]

Well I guess since my thread was locked by some asshole, even though it was unique in that it was about his jump shots I guess I'll say it here:

Tony Parker Is Jump Shooting Us Out Of This Game....

And Michael Finley needs to get the ball more, he clearly wants this game just as much, if not more than any other Spur...

[SA210]

Give it a rest already.
dude, I was just responding to that jerk.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Tony HAS to step up in the 4th


I'll be happy is he just doesn't travel or commit turnovers.

[Mavs<Spurs]

.25

1/4

cree.

si tu crees que puedes, si puedes,

pero si crees que no puedes, es cierto que no puedes.

[Deb]

Tony's playing so badly that my asshole isn't puckering up anymore when NVE checks in.
I'm with you there, brp

[AMOS7]

Tony HAS to step up in the 4th

Stepping up by letting Van Exel, Barry, Finley, or Ginobili handle and shoot the ball more than he does. He has killed the Spurs with his jumpers.

[milkyway21]

whoever wins will be rewarded with a :tu for this one classic game(except the refs, of course).

[Vinnie_Johnson]

4 quarter gut check time The Champs are here Go Spurs.......

[Doc Jerome]

Go Spurs!

[WalterBenitez]

Blondie with 0 fouls :wow

[~Sweetmelody~]

I'll be happy is he just doesn't travel or commit turnovers.


Same here!

and boy I LOVE MANU!!

[ballhog]

You seem to think the game is rigged........................why continue watching?

That brings up another subject....How the Kings doing?

[SA210]

Let's go SPURSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ducks]

duncan and manu and mike time

4 quarter

[1Parker1]

Spurs need to pull away before the 2 minute mark. If it's still close/tied, Spurs will be screwed.

[Trifecta]

OK Spurs fans -- let us pray........

:angel Dear Lord give the Spurs the strength to rise above the adversity that will come against them in this 4th qtr!!!!!!!

[TheSanityAnnex]

dude, I was just responding to that jerk.What makes me a jerk? I simply asked why you complain about the refs in every post you make. It has to be annoying to just about everyone.









Anyways, this is turning out to be quite a game. Congrats to both sides. And what do you know, the Spurs shot 8 freethrows to Dallas' 1.

[Mavs<Spurs]

I'll be happy is he just doesn't travel or commit turnovers.


exactly and doesn't keep missing shots.

Congrats on the win against the Cavs, Pistons> Spurs.

I knew you all would win!!!

Way to go.

[Tek_XX]

nazr hands

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Stepping up by letting Van Exel, Barry, Finley, or Ginobili handle and shoot the ball more than he does. He has killed the Spurs with his jumpers.
He needs to realize what he can do on the floor to help the win, when his offensive game ain't working....His speed (or half second slower speed to injury) can help when he doesn't have the ball.

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili...you're supposed to dunk that. Don't start over-passing.

[Islymore]

ginobli's gettin away with a few travels here..

[BgT]

I'll be happy is he just doesn't travel or commit turnovers.
And with zero points / zero attempts. I'd sign the deal right now.

[Extra Stout]

Spurs lead in free throw attempts 27-18.

[WalterBenitez]

The blondy broke a nail?

[TheSanityAnnex]

That brings up another subject....How the Kings doing?
Catching lots of King Salmon. Hope you aren't joining me soon, the boat's cooler is running low on beer.

[ballhog]

Dirk's hurt. Boo Fucking Hoo.

[1Parker1]

Damn, TO in the opening seconds.

[sanman53]

Well, that was a great 4thQ start

[Doc Jerome]

Dirk looking for a sympathy call later in the game.

[Pistons < Spurs]

exactly and doesn't keep missing shots.

Congrats on the win against the Cavs, Pistons> Spurs.

I knew you all would win!!!

Way to go.
:tu Thanks! I think it was all the love coming from San Antonio that helped us pull it out!

[hitmanyr2k]

Another offensive rebound...good thing it was erased by Horry's block.

[Horry For 3!]

You know what would be huge....a NVE 3

[Islymore]

horry just got his 4th...

[sanman53]

Big Block Bob!

[Nero]

Smalllllllllll Ballllllllllllll!

[bonesinaz]

Manu!!

[1Parker1]

Foul on Horry? :pctoss

[Doc Jerome]

This quarter is shakey.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Dirk almost has 20 REBOUNDS!!

WTF?

Manu said we need rebounding and looks like he's following suit with 8..but we need the other guys to pitch in.

[ballhog]

Tim get in there and kick some ass!!!

[1Parker1]

KVH??! He's supposed to be a choker! :(

[sanman53]

Here comes the MVP!

[Islymore]

man.... harris.... needs to be benched... this game is too valuable... he's helpin the Spurs out too much...

[bonesinaz]

Dork starting to miss.

[WalterBenitez]

ref$ again?

[Horry For 3!]

Holy shit, Finley gets hammered

[dimsah]

at least they're letting them play now.

[dimsah]

nevermind.

[WALLACE POWER]

tim got away with one

[Horry For 3!]

Figures, they call a gay ass foul on Bruce

[greyforest]

LMFAO

HERE ARE 4TH QUARTER REFS GUYS


HOORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyy

[bonesinaz]

_allas flop

[1Parker1]

No whistle for Finley?

[Nero]

Get Bowen out of there. The refs just have it in for him.

[ballhog]

Howard looks like he checked by a bear.

[Doc Jerome]

Spurs are sucking ass.

[WalterBenitez]

I Am Nervous

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs are sucking ass.
Then Give it to MANU

[Extra Stout]

Everyone's got the yips or something.

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili and Finley look like the only guys that don't want to lose this game. Everyone else has their heads up their ass.

[strangeweather]

Spurs are sucking ass.

Well, they're ahead. Things could be worse.

[Doc Jerome]

Go to the DAMN HOLE on every play!

[greyforest]

they raped us under the basket on the last two posessions

[Extra Stout]

Thanks AJ for playing KVH.

[Horry For 3!]

Manu playin good D

[CubanMustGo]

Spurs turning up the defense ...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I Am Nervous
Just think happy thoughts I guess?? shit I can't take this...Take a fucking 10 point lead Spurs! ....remember how those were?? they were nice....come on BELIEeVE...

[1Parker1]

Good thing Harris is having an off game also to offset Tony.

[WalterBenitez]

:ban:

[SA Gunslinger]

Holleee! Chitttt!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Spurs Will Win

[Doc Jerome]

Go to the HOLE!!!!!
Go to the HOLE!!!!!
Go to the HOLE!!!!!
Go to the HOLE!!!!!
Go to the HOLE!!!!!

[ballhog]

Dallas not looking real sharp. This is the Spurs chance to crank up the D and good for the knockout punch.

[sanman53]

Finally, some good D by the small boys!

[Extra Stout]

Mavs shooting 35%.

[AMOS7]

This game is the type of game the Spurs like to play. Low scoring, defensive based. This is the most crucial point of the game, right here. Gather a lead of 5 or so, then do your best to make stops and hold onto the ball to drain clock as long as you can without bricking a shot badly.

[genghisrex]

Refs are letting both teams play this quarter. I hope it stays that way.

[greyforest]

i'm still loving the calls that dirk gets

its just flabbergasting. how can you call fouls on people that he fucking hits and shoves?

[deSPURado]

Even without Terry, Mavs are pretty strong:(

[Doc Jerome]

Go To The Hole!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Texas_Ranger]

Go Spurs Gooo

[Don Quixote]

Looks like we have rediscovered our defense. Without it, we wouldn't have a chance.

I like VanExel out there, gimpy and all. Tony doesn't have his mojo tonight, and we need Nick's experience.

[CubanMustGo]

It's Big Shot Rob time ...

[Doc Jerome]

Just Go To The Damn Hole!

[SA210]

Dirk 0 fouls

[dav4463]

I wish Tony Parker would show up. With Devin playing the way he is, Tony should own him..........

[~Sweetmelody~]

GO SPURS GO!!!!

:elephant
