Spurs vs. Mavericks Game 7 -- Game Blog

[RON ARTEST]

great ball movement by the spurs.

[loveforthegame]

I'll take the goaltend but I'm not even sure that Barry layup had a chance of going in.

[RON ARTEST]

45-29. mavs cant miss.

[loveforthegame]

Nevermind. It was an offensive foul. SHit.

[clooneyschick04]

We can't buy a bucket.

[loveforthegame]

Get NVE out. He brings nothing.

[DannyT]

nick sucks DICK

[RON ARTEST]

what the fuck is van exel doing in the game? he fucking stinks!

[AMOS7]

They will not come back from a 16 point lead at halftime.

Lead by 10? Possible.

16? Nope.

This is game 2 in the making, all over again.

[Horry For 3!]

Pop, are you fucking stupid or something????? We need fucking O in the game right now. And you have fucking the worst O player possible in NVE. Get TONY IN!

[loveforthegame]

You've got to be kidding me.

[davi78239]

Get NVE out. He brings nothing.


no shit!

[RON ARTEST]

how did barry fall?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

:lmao

Barry tripped over the 3pt line....

[clubalien]

mavs better team
better coach
but I belive the spurs will win this game

[clooneyschick04]

Thank you Bowen! Let's go!

[DarkReign]

Fear not Spurs fans. The Mavs absolutely cannot keep shooting like this all game. Law of Averages.

[Tek_XX]

pop get coached out the door.

[Horry For 3!]

Finally we make a fucking shot

[ducks]

get lead to 10 at half NOW

[RON ARTEST]

spurs still have a chance to cut the lead under 10 at the half but damn.

[will70724]

Horry for 3 I love your signature. Im from california ( about 30 mins from oakland) we love street out here. Even though we a's fans dont get much respect, steet is one of the best closers already and he's only in his 2nd year. But hopefully the A's go all the way this year. Just wanted to give some love for your signature of street. K-rod who?

[austinfan]

Fear not Spurs fans. The Mavs absolutely cannot keep shooting like this all game. Law of Averages.

I wish I had your confidence. :( I want to believe, but the Spurs have got to give us something, anything...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs are tight first half. Still got a lot of game to play..

[Tobias]

Barry, put it in the hole! Stop these frighteing passes.

[AMOS7]

Better start rooting for the Suns. Mavs match up terrible to them and will likely lose.

[loveforthegame]

Barry passed the open 3, passed on the layup, to pass to Duncan who was covered by Damp and Dirk. Luckily we drew the foul but that could have been a turnover.

[Melmart1]

I wish I had your confidence. :( I want to believe, but the Spurs have got to give us something, anything...

So winning two elimination games, one on the road hasn't given you a reason to believe?

[RashoFan]

Timmay Fouled by Dirk(2nd)
#1 good #2 good
33-47 Mavs 6:01 left

[clubalien]

woai said bowen had a point taken away from his 3pointer

[cherylsteele]

If we loose this I say Pop's job needs to be reevaluated.
No more NVE...I want to see Beno given a chance.
I want to see Rasho and Tim in there together.
Hell...we are already getting beat gotta try something else.
Small ball is not working.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Duncan needs more shots, Manu needs more shots...Believveee...Mavs are gonna get off on a hot start but they're gonna get tired . Spurs will take control.

[kiriti]

We have to win this game...Bowen 3!~!!!

[Horry For 3!]

Bowen the only one making anything

[RashoFan]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuce for 3!!!

[AMOS7]

So winning two elimination games, one on the road hasn't given you a reason to believe?

Perhaps it's because of the fact the Mavs have been a very bad match-up for the Spurs all season and they're down by double digits at home.

[DannyT]

where the fuck is GINOBLIIIIIII

[ducks]

dirk get called for a foul?

[loveforthegame]

Big 3 by Bowen but Terry answers right back.

[austinfan]

So winning two elimination games, one on the road hasn't given you a reason to believe?

No, I know, I know. I just really wanted us to come out and dominate the entire game. But as long as we get the win, I'm happy, needless to say.

[Horry For 3!]

The fucking little piece of shit Terry is makin his shots :pctoss

[kiriti]

16 point lead for the Mavericks...We have to start using defense to stop these guys

[Crookshanks]

This is so disappointing. Spurs came out flat and the Mavs came out of the gate galloping all the way to the hoop!

Please tell me it isn't possible for them to continue to shoot this high % - they have to cool off soon don't they? PLEEEEEEASE!!!

[RashoFan]

Dampier just picked up his 3rd foulo 4:55
36-52 Mavs

[RON ARTEST]

bowen hits a three and terry answers right back with a three of his own. 52-36 mavs

[milkyway21]

just logged in

hmmn. ..looks like the Mavs wants this game than the Spurs.

:flag:

[ducks]

howard and dirk need to pick up their 3 foul

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

The fucking little piece of shit Terry is makin his shots :pctoss

My dead grandma could drop 14 points on the Spurs tonight man, I'm embarrassed for the Spurs right now. This is how they get up for a Game 7 at home?

[BgT]

Pop, are you fucking stupid or something????? We need fucking O in the game right now. And you have fucking the worst O player possible in NVE. Get TONY IN!
You don't understand. Pop never adjusts during the game. All adjustments he makes are done BEFORE the game. He knows every rotation for 48 minutes. And if the plan says TP is benched from x to y minute, than it's going to be exactly like that. The only time he does adjust is, when someone is hot. He takes him out very quickly.

[1Parker1]

Mavs are just making insane shots. Everything is going right for them, and nothing seems to be going right for the Spurs.

Spurs just need to try to get the lead down to 10 or less by halftime at this point and hope that the Mavs cool off in the second half.

[Horry For 3!]

Terry is 5-5, 2-2 from 3 pt range :pctoss I hate that little piece of shit

[clubalien]

imagin if terry would have started the game insted of getting benched by aj

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

All 5 players are making making their shots...that's crazy, they're hot... taht needs to stop. 16 point lead needs to be diminished and chipped away.

[AMOS7]

Don't be too crushed by our impending loss, guys.

16 point leads are hardly ever come back from. And I am a "believer".

[Melmart1]

Not even halftime and people are jumping off the wagon and saying we need to reevaluate Pop's job. Where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, game 1. and 5. and 6. All wins, btw.

[DannyT]

Perhaps it's because of the fact the Mavs have been a very bad match-up for the Spurs all season and they're down by double digits at home.


and then on top of that
their fuckin shooters are on fire
we arent gettin any stops and when we do we dont CAPITOLIZE......

[Crookshanks]

Mavs are hungry - the Spurs are complacent! Get up and get going!! GIT R DONE!!

[The-Wizz]

w00t go jason terry hes the man i love that guy, cause i play like him i only go right lol pretty good when i do it maybe not as good as him but i try lol

answers bowen for 3 and shuts up that crowd, crowd trying to put the spurs in it but i guess the spurs didnt come to play doesnt look like they are all there or maybe there in shock by the 75% field the mavs are at

[Horry For 3!]

Mavs are just making insane shots. Everything is going right for them, and nothing seems to be going right for the Spurs.

Spurs just need to try to get the lead down to 10 or less by halftime at this point and hope that the Mavs cool off in the second half.
Yes, they need to get the lead in single digits

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Mavs are hotter than ever in team history. They have to cool off soon. We just have to keep it close.

[Leetonidas]

This is fucking garbage. I can't believe I'm watching this than 24. This is upsetting.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

ok i will add some hope to this mess for you......

Nuggets scored 77pts in one half on over 70% shooting vs the Clips earlier this year, highest scoring half of the season...........they backed it up with their worst half of the season and lost the game in a close one after leading by 20 at the half

but the Mavs are much much better than the fishing Nuggets, so its only a small glimmer of hope for you lol

[Spurologist]

That's all you can do. Put a hand in their face. 78% on mostly jumpshots is unbelievable

[Beer is Good]

Nice shooting by the Mavs. They are lights out so far - That ENDS right NOW.

[~Sweetmelody~]

I believe!

GO SPURS GO!!! :elephant

[Horry For 3!]

w00t go jason terry hes the man i love that guy, cause i play like him i only go right lol pretty good when i do it maybe not as good as him but i try lol

answers bowen for 3 and shuts up that crowd, crowd trying to put the spurs in it but i guess the spurs didnt come to play doesnt look like they are all there or maybe there in shock by the 75% field the mavs are at
:wtf I think you need to go back to school

[McKenzie]

howard and dirk need to pick up their 3 foul


Fuck yeah...make that happen.

[Bob Lanier]

Spurs screen/roll coverage is terrible.

Where's Ginobili?

Tony Parker's Much Improved Jumpshot is killing you almost as much as Terry.

[AMOS7]

Not even halftime and people are jumping off the wagon and saying we need to reevaluate Pop's job. Where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, game 1. and 5. and 6. All wins, btw.

We are not "jumping off the wagon".

Did games 1, 5, and 6 have a 16 point lead by Dallas at halftime?

Does game 2 ring a bell?

[Tek_XX]

Spurs need to find a way to get this to single digits.

[SA Gunslinger]

This is so disappointing. Spurs came out flat and the Mavs came out of the gate galloping all the way to the hoop!

Please tell me it isn't possible for them to continue to shoot this high % - they have to cool off soon don't they? PLEEEEEEASE!!!

Gotta keep playing. Ride it out.

I wasn't surprised Terry came out flaming. He has a vendetta.

BELIEVE!

[Tek_XX]

chip engllend is fired

[Leetonidas]

And Tony throws up more garbage. Nice.

[AMOS7]

Guys, it's over, lol

[loveforthegame]

Terry making up for being out for game 6.

[Leetonidas]

This is fucking over. If they keep shooting like this...my God. 19 point lead.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

We can't rely on Parker to carry us , Pop needs to give GInobili the green light.

[happytoplay1]

Did I Hear Mavs Fan?

[milkyway21]

hey guys where IS Manu Ginobili. Is he still ON this team?:angel

[kiriti]

17 Point lead by the mavericks..we have to shut them down

[Leetonidas]

Manu takes the charge.

[The-Wizz]

:wtf I think you need to go back to school

i dont think your really mad at me your just mad at your team cause they are lookin pathedic and cant contain dallas

[kiriti]

Offensive foul!! excellent

[cherylsteele]

finally...a charge...something goes right

[McKenzie]

This is fucking garbage. I can't believe I'm watching this than 24. This is upsetting.


Oh...24 is on? Maybe a channel cahnge will help this effort. We look like shit right now, but I stiill think we are trying to pull fouls and hit the shit out of them in the 4th.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Duncan is the only one who showed up tonight? so far

[AMOS7]

Spurs need to end the quarter on an, 6-0 or 10-0 run if they want to stand a chance.

[Leetonidas]

That was the fucking worst display of defense I have seen this team ever put out.

[loveforthegame]

We're NOT jumping off the bandwagon because we fear it might be over already.

20 point lead.

[Horry For 3!]

Do they ever call a fucking O foul on Dirk?

[cherylsteele]

put in Rasho with Tim dammit!

[Chris]

Attack The Rim!

[milkyway21]

why can't they stop those F@%#$ng 3 pt shots?:wtf

[DannyT]

Game Over Fellas?

[kiriti]

Damn!! we need to come back

[AMOS7]

20 point lead. Where are the "believers" now?

All I want is them to finish this with honor.

[1Parker1]

20 point lead...Mavs, on OUR homecourt in Game 7.

[Crookshanks]

Boy, all those pre-game predictions just got flushed down the toilet. I don't think I can watch anymore right now. I'll turn it back on later and hope things look better.

I'm such an emotional fan that this is just unbearable.

[cherylsteele]

Do they ever call a fucking O foul on Dirk?
No....he is Larry Bird...remember??

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs can still win this if they regroup their heads....Believee...other deficits have been overcome.

[Chris]

This looks strangely similar to game 2 without ther bad calls.

[RON ARTEST]

Game Over Fellas?
yup

[kiriti]

Excellent Duncan!!

[Leetonidas]

Tim answers with the And 1. We only got 3 minutes. We gotta get this below 10 or were finished.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

It isn't the defense that needs to step up. The Spurs only have 13 points in the Q...

[Horry For 3!]

3 mins left in the 2nd quarter


Must finish the 2nd quarter off strong or we're doomed

[Cant_Be_Faded]

This is not at all what I expected from the guys tonight. They came out with no defensive intensity.

[Tek_XX]

I think the spurs jumped off the bandwagon.

[SA210]

Dirk gets to push off but He hets the foul?

[Horry For 3!]

Spurs can still get the lead down to 10

[Chris]

atta boy timmy now lets see some fucking patented spurs defense

[cherylsteele]

It isn't the defense that needs to step up. The Spurs only have 13 points in the Q...
But the Mavs are scoring too....this team is built on defense and two bigs....which is not being used at all.

[kiriti]

the only good news so far , are the mavericks are the ones in foul trouble

[Horry For 3!]

2nd half must be all Spurs D

[RashoFan]

I Believe!!!! GO SPURS GO!!!!

[Tek_XX]

3 mins left in the 2nd quarter


Must finish the 2nd quarter off strong or we're doomed

At what point are we officially doomed?

[cheguevara]

Let's go. Cut the lead little by little.

[NBA_FAN1]

Did I Hear Mavs Fan?

i think Spurs fans are cheering for the mavs. :oops

[DannyT]

Im Scared...somebody Hold Me!!!!!

[AMOS7]

I knew the Spurs dominance would end, but I thought they'd end it off with a championship this year.

[SA210]

Where's the anger? Why is Pop not yelling at these guys? Why does the crowd suck, again?

Let's go dammit, We are the Champs.

[Crookshanks]

This game is the exact opposite of what I thought I would see tonight. :depressed I thought all the pressure would be on the Mavs and that the Spurs would come out on fire and show the heart of a champion.

They look like the Memphis Grizzlies :madrun

[Quasar]

How lovely. I wake up expecting to see yet another close game, but what do I see? The Spurs being blowb out at HOME by Dallas...

And it looks as if these Spurs defend worse than _allas.

Can't believe it is turning out this way... What are they thinking?????!!!

[word]

I"m pulling out my Rose Bowl DVD right now...

[cheguevara]

At what point are we officially doomed?

I'd say when Spurs stop trying. Pop better keep Duncan, Manu, Bowen and Parker in for the rest of the game.

[~Sweetmelody~]

i Believe!
Go Spurs Go!!!

[Melmart1]

Why does everyone think its defense? They are putting hands and contesting these jump shots. The Mavs are just making everything, and we can't buy a bucket. But we will come back 2003 WCF style. Believe.

[LoveMySpurs]

C'mon Spurs! I'm not ready for the season to end tonight!!!! But with the shooting and defense so far you're not doing enough to go to the next level!!!!! Guess it's time to grab another brew and BELIEVE!!!!!

[cherylsteele]

We can't keep trading baskets....we need some stops going into the half.

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

Will you people shut the fuck up already with the "Dirk Nowitzki offensive foul" shit. Even if this motherfucker was called for one every time he touched the ball so far this game, we would still be down by 15. Give it up

[gospursgooo]

This looks like Game 7 versus Detroit in the NBA Finals last year.

[gospurs21209]

Ok..... Why Not Put In A Big Line Up..... It Obviously Could Not Hurt. That Big Lineup Won Us 63 Games This Season.

[AMOS7]

Quick: somebody give Kerr a Spurs jersey to put on!

[Nashfan]

Boy your team sucks right now

[loveforthegame]

I believe, just disappointed right now.

[Horry For 3!]

At what point are we officially doomed?
I don't give up like a little bitch that you are

[bendmz]

fucking small ball....... GO FIGURE !!!!!!!!!!

[kiriti]

17 point lead...DEFENSE

[AMOS7]

This looks like Game 7 versus Detroit in the NBA Finals last year.

game 6 you mean?

[cherylsteele]

Why does everyone think its defense? They are putting hands and contesting these jump shots. The Mavs are just making everything, and we can't buy a bucket. But we will come back 2003 WCF style. Believe.
You get stops and you can get more easy breaks the other way.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Mavs got off to a hot start, but they live by the jumpshot, they are gonna die by the jumpshot...believee...

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

This looks like Game 7 versus Detroit in the NBA Finals last year.

Sorry, I dont remember being down 20 to the Pistons last year

[DannyT]

RoHo needs to step up ......
the bench needs to step up


nd mike fin IS steppin up

[The-Wizz]

duncan answers dirks and1 with one if his own nice,look in there faces they are getting mad because they know its not gonna happen this year, good job guys for being compeditors. they want this game to end. but the mavs on the other hand are makin insane shots. dirks and1 should ahve been an and3 cause there was 3 guys on him this is gotta be a nail biter for your guys wheres lebron when you need him

[kiriti]

Finley 3!!

[theMUHMEshow]

Boy your team sucks right now

and your team is going to get bitch slapped by Detroit Miami SA or Dallas!

[Spurologist]

79% I don't give a fuck who you are. You are not going to win if you give that up. Fact is the mavs will cool off

[RashoFan]

Fin Dog for 3!!!!

[NBA_FAN1]

This looks like Game 7 versus Detroit in the NBA Finals last year.

spurs won the game in the last quarter, right now Spurs are getting kill ! :oops

[milkyway21]

actually the Spurs are not in foul trouble they can get back after halftime and squeeze & freeze this guys...

[loveforthegame]

Thank you Finley. I was screaming at Ginobli for missing Bowen open in the corner. I guess it worked out.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Finleeyy... come on...don't give up Spurs...

[BgT]

We need to finish this strong with -13. Than cut it to -5 in third. It's not over, ladies and gentlemen. Not over yet.

[theMUHMEshow]

Sorry, I dont remember being down 20 to the Pistons last year

Me neither ...it would have been great though! We might have been able to hold onto that lead!

[FreshPrince22]

Wow... I got home, turned on the game.... I thought it was a typo. WTF is going on here?

[kiriti]

Offensive Rebounds...What is going on

[Chris]

Boy your team sucks right now
:troll

[word]

79% I don't give a fuck who you are not going to win if you give that up. Fact is the mavs will cool off

Yeah that won't hold up. Still lots of ball to play...

[Tek_XX]

Ok..... Why Not Put In A Big Line Up..... It Obviously Could Not Hurt. That Big Lineup Won Us 63 Games This Season.

No because they wouldn't work :rolleyes

[gospursgooo]

Sorry, I dont remember being down 20 to the Pistons last year

Not 20, but 16. Pretty close.

[TheAffricanFan]

We cannot act like our stupid crowd, lets believe and pray for Dallas to start missing some shots... I Still Believe!!!

[milkyway21]

down 15 pt lead now.

he:D he:D

[kiriti]

Block!!

[1Parker1]

You can't let the other team shooting 70% AND not get a defensive rebound to save you life. Bad combo.

Come on Manu and FInley!!!

[cherylsteele]

too many open looks in the lane...layups too...and now given them offensive rebounds.....put in another big

[DannyT]

this is the fire we NEED

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Wow... I got home, turned on the game.... I thought it was a typo. WTF is going on here?
A game for Spurs lore....Hopefully, we'll make this a story and come back full force for the rest of the game...Mavs crumble...belieevee..

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Wow... I got home, turned on the game.... I thought it was a typo. WTF is going on here?


Spurs can't throw the ball in the ocean, Mavs can't miss(84% 1st Q)...

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

In Game 7, I dont think so

[AMOS7]

Spurs have 3 priorities:

Get to the paint
Get the fans into it
Don't screw up

[Leetonidas]

We finally get the crowd into it and Dirk flops and gets another phantom call. Nice.

[Horry For 3!]

Theres some sight of some Spurs D

[kiriti]

TP..Stop fouling

[theMUHMEshow]

Parker needs to screw his damn head on!

[cherylsteele]

that parker layup is why the "D" is so important.

[Nashfan]

Your the defending champions so your team should show more heart than this. We were not even predicted to compete at all this year let alone make the playoffs with Amare out and our whole team basically changing. So what is your excuse?

[BgT]

Offensive Rebounds...What is going on
Nothing new. The patended Pop's small ball gives lots of OR to Mavs. Even when we win, it's still 12-4 for Mavs at offensive r. :lol

[DannyT]

groupies!!!!

[kiriti]

Finley!!

[theMUHMEshow]

need a stop and a bucket

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

lmao even Diop with a jumper

[Leetonidas]

If Diop is going to score on us, we're fucking doomed.

[Crookshanks]

Why do people pay large sums of money for playoff tickets and then sit there on their big, complacent asses! I don't care if we are down by 15, get up and start yelling - you're helping the Mavs instead of the Spurs!

IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[AMOS7]

No offense but I have to bring this up

Why did people call Dallas _allas this year? Or Dirk, _irk? It's not clever or anything, and to be frank, the Mavs are getting the last laugh on the Spurs it seems. I want the Spurs to come back so much, but this Dallas team is tough, despite the fact I do not like the people in the organization. Mavs defense is shockingly good.

[The-Wizz]

by end of the third try and get it to 10 points lead or less, and in the 4th i say come otu shootin those 3s since they ahev beengetting some good looks

wheres your coach he needs to inspire these players

[milkyway21]

thanks or that 3 mike

TP made 1 too!

down to 13 pt lead by the Mavs
:flag: :cheer

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Cutting it to 11 or 12 would be huge...

[RashoFan]

end of the half 64-50 Mavs

[Leetonidas]

How the fuck was that not a foul?

[Horry For 3!]

Manu got hammered

[theMUHMEshow]

Gosh Dirk plays SO SMALL

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Duncan needs to rebound also....Despite their contested falling jumpers early, we're getting outrebounded

[TheAffricanFan]

Defense!!!!

[Horry For 3!]

Spurs have life, finish off the quarter strong, that is all I wanted

[kiriti]

we are down by 14

[Spurologist]

Last words from Pop after the half:

"Fucking Bavetta"

[The-Wizz]

man-u need to get your team going go play horse with dallas you will win

[Horry For 3!]

Bavetta is a fucking dumbass

[SA210]

Screw YOU CROWD.

Now you wanna get into it?

[Leetonidas]

The way they finished that off is a good sign. Let's do it.

[Chris]

14 points? No problemo Spurs fans. BELIEVE you sons of bitches.

[theMUHMEshow]

Jason Terry is a bitch.

[DannyT]

ok down by 14
but i love how we ended the half
with energy and fire
and we are goin to come back fired up and ready
but we just have to fight them

[cheguevara]

YES! YES! YES! loved the end of the 2nd.

Let's keep it like that and we'll come back.....

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Cutting it to 11 or 12 would be huge...
I'll take the 14 over the 21 though....

14 is something an 8-0 run, then a 6-0 run a 10 -2 run can overcome....belieevee..

[Horry For 3!]

I HATE Jason Terry

[chaco]

manu only 2 FGA ????

[FreshPrince22]

Not 20, but 16. Pretty close.

Actually 9 was the biggest lead. Never went to double digits. Trust me, I relive that game in my head daily.

[Tek_XX]

Why couldn't the spurs play like this from the beginning?

[Spurologist]

The energy the spurs showed in the last minutes is what the spurs need for the whole game.

[SA210]

Lazy ass crowd

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I like how Parker didn't settle for his lowerpercentage shots towards the end..

[Horry For 3!]

Mavs won't shoot 70% in the 2nd half

[Xolotl]

diop c'mon

Thats how you know things are going thier way

[Horry For 3!]

It will be all Spurs and their D in the 2nd half!!!!!!!

[ALVAREZ6]

:lmao

Did you guys see Bavetta rub Dirk and make sure he was ok, then showed him the FT line with his finger...kind of like saying "oh poor Dirky Dirk, it's ok, you can shoot 2 FT's for that one."



I love Bavetta

[austinfan]

We typically come out strong at the beginning of the 3rd. If we can get an 8-2 run, and then whittle the thing down from there, we have a chance.

[AMOS7]

Mavs could get over confident and drop the lead, but I am just fooling myself.

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

I swear to God if Manu, Tim and Tony dont play every second of the second half im going to punch the girlfriend I dont have in the fucking face.

[Don Quixote]

Way to play defense in an important game, guys!

[iflyabeech]

14 pts is no big deal . .. those refs suck. . . .jason terry is a pompous ass

[RON ARTEST]

Your the defending champions so your team should show more heart than this. We were not even predicted to compete at all this year let alone make the playoffs with Amare out and our whole team basically changing. So what is your excuse?
more heart? the mavs are making everything. even if you had amare your defense would suck and you wouldnt win a championship and you know it. your little suns will be joining my kings fishing pretty soon.

[fred33]

Tony Has A Good Game Manu Is Not Attacking And Doing A Horrible Defense On Terry

[Horry For 3!]

It will be all Spurs and their D in the 2nd half!!!!!!!

[cherylsteele]

ok down by 14
but i love how we ended the half
with energy and fire
and we are goin to come back fired up and ready
but we just have to fight them
How can you say that?
to many open looks.
need rebounding....no more small ball.
be aggressive.

[dimsah]

I'm pretty sure Mark Cuban also made a shot from half-court.

[Chris]

That was the Mav's half. Next half we do the dominating. Just feed Tim the ball. No more Parker jumpshots. No more NVE runners. We went 5 minutes without scoring thanks to jumpshots from the bench. Thank god Bruce and Finley are hitting theirs.

[MANU GINOBALKI]

Wow I am supprised the Spurs didn't come out harder than this. But I expect them to play ALOT better in the 2nd half.

[Beer is Good]

I dont know how we are only down 14. The Mavs played way above themselves for the half and we took a quarter off offensively. Gonna have to come with serious D in the 2nd and start making plays. The Mavs are already starting to cool off - we just have to clamp down and make shots. For some reason the shooters are reluctant to shoot. They are doubling TIMMMMMMY every time he touches and Barry alone has passed up WIDE open threes. Gotta have confidence and knock them down.

[themvp]

Duncan with 0 rebounds at the Halftime. WOW

[efrem1]

70% for them at the half. I just got home from work and this is what I see? Just unacceptable no matter how much of a fan you are!!!!

[Tanya]

PLAY SOME DEFENSE at the second half!
Go spurs Go!

[Tek_XX]

:lmao

Did you guys see Bavetta rub Dirk and make sure he was ok, then showed him the FT line with his finger...kind of like saying "oh poor Dirky Dirk, it's ok, you can shoot 2 FT's for that one."



I love Bavetta

Saw it, clearly the refs think the world of this big toothed nazi.

[ALVAREZ6]

Well if the Spurs lose, at least we know NVE will never step on the court again with a Spurs uniform on.

[Bob Lanier]

So how does Pop adjust the Spurs pick and roll coverage in the second half? Put Oberto in and tell him to Nancy Kerrigan JET?

Please don't rest Timmy for the rest of the game.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

14 pts is no big deal . .. those refs suck. . . .jason terry is a pompous ass
Spurs will not lay down and die to these guys...I believe the Spurs will come back to kick ass for a SPURS WIN to make the Mavs hot first half, FOOL's GOLD...

Avery will overcoach and tighten up at the sign of adversity.

[AMOS7]

Spurs will appreciate the Spurs fans enthusiasm, but what makes anybody think that they'll improve oh so much in the second half? Dallas is just as capable to continue up this level of play. I want them to come back, but I just don't know if it'll happen.

[theMUHMEshow]

Actually 9 was the biggest lead. Never went to double digits. Trust me, I relive that game in my head daily.

Dammit FP22...dont remind us! :drunk

[ALVAREZ6]

Saw it, clearly the refs think the world of this big toothed nazi.
Yeah but believe me, it's mainly Bavetta that has a Dirk fetish. He wants Dirk's cock in his ass right about now.

[picnroll]

I wonder what Pop's saying to them at the half. What approach he's taking.

[JamStone]

I realize that the Mavs didn't miss many shots, but Tim Duncan has ZERO rebounds in the first half????

[Horry For 3!]

Manu shall show up in the 2nd half


Manu is only 1-3 2 pts

[dimsah]

Wow I am supprised the Spurs didn't come out harder than this. But I expect them to play ALOT better in the 2nd half.
I know the Spurs defense isn't nearly as good with the small lineup, but they are making pretty much anything they throw up there.
Second half the Mavs will cool down.

[Don Quixote]

I intercepted this letter a few minutes ago. Don't ask me how ...

Dear Spurs,

Your defense tonight is terrific! Great job defending the, how you say, bucket, against the Mavericks of Dallas!

Sincerely,
The French

[austinfan]

Manu, Tim and Tony have to play 24 minutes each. No use saving them for the off-season.

[schadenfreude52]

Well if the Spurs lose, at least we know NVE will never step on the court again with a Spurs uniform on.

Isn't it with any uniform?

[Horry For 3!]

I wonder what Pop's saying to them at the half. What approach he's taking.
He is saying that the Mavs can't shoot 70% in the 2nd half, play hard like you did to end the 2nd quarter and he needs to start getting plays for Manu

[Nashfan]

Cannot complain about the refs tonight, you are going to to the line more than the Mavs. Quit whining about the reffing!

[schadenfreude52]
