I don't know what to think about this game. Should I be mad that the Mavs are losing or should I just relax knowing next time these 2 play, both teams will be 0-0.

[phyzik]

Just you.

excuse much?

I would agree with that if both teams didnt have starters in.

[dirk4mvp]

Doubt it.


:lmao Are you guys stressin over this game or something?

[spurs_in_7]

why sas cant touch nowitzky?

I agree its just a preseason game but both teams are playing with a little more fire than you usually see in a preseason game. Nothing wrong with that, although I think it will lessen as the starters go out.

[phyzik]

make sense much?


apperantly your dumb ass didnt see the pre-game interview.... I think it was Diop, or Terry (cant remember exactly who).

They stated Mav's game plan is to win. I believe he said it is being considered as "psychological warfare" or something like that.

no statements like that from the spurs....

Best player on an also-ran has surgery!!!!!

Terry was talkin about that this was the biggest rivarly in the NBA and that they will play hard whatever kind of game it is.

[timvp]

Pretty good game so far. Too bad it's preseason and it doesn't mean anything. Mavs don't look like they are trying at all.

The Spurs have tried Oberto, Elson and Williams on Dirk so far. None of them have had much success, but it's a good sign that Pop is willing to put Elson on Dirk. Even if he can't guard him, that'd keep another big out there on the court. Overall, Elson is playing his best game of the preseason. Williams looks lost but he looks like he has a chance to guard Dirk.

Too bad this game means nothing :pctoss

Who doesn't play to win (besides the Clippers at the last part of the season last year)?

I'm sure JET could not care less if they get blown out tonight by 20.

[samikeyp]

It was Terry but I am sure it was just to have fun with the cameras. If he or any player (with the exception of those trying to make a team) actually cares about beating the other team tonight....they need help.

[Manu20]

Why do they keep replayin the Avery & Dirk interview? :pctoss

[dav4463]

It's more about looking sharp than winning. Tony and Tim look real sharp. So does Barry.

[dirk4mvp]

Then why would he say they will try to win when they are obviously not


he would've looked pretty damn stupid if he said he hopes they get their asses handed to them by the Spurs, dontcha think?

could not care less or could care less? Big difference... :drunk

I agree the game is worth nothing but dont pretend that Dallas is not trying, I could say the same thing about the Spurs who's focus is to make sure we make it through this game and into the regular season healthy.

Im sure if I said spurs where not trying at all either you would think I was full of shit.

I wouldnt doubt it if Avery and Pop both decided with eachother they would use this game to work the kinks out and play it like a regular game.... without showing the big plays of course.

[dirk4mvp]

Cause they want to show how bad they feel after choking away the Finals

yep


It's also a good interview

[Trainwreck2100]

That's funny because the Spurs said nothing before the game and Parker said before the half that "it's only a preseason game" Nowhere did they say they would win, and they didn't say "he hopes they get their asses handed to them"

What is the SCORE????

I was just saying that just because you don't say "we are going to win" doesn't mean the only alternative is "we are going to lose"

In celebration of me being bested, I'm going to have sex with a good-looking woman. What is it you shall be doing tonight, dear Experiment?


Reading a book and relishing my victory over you my good sir.

[ShoogarBear]

TIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

Holy FOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dirk4mvp]

I believe everybody on the entire Spur roster has perfected the runner/floater

[Spurologist]

Incredicle.

Howard dribble drives to the basket. When Howard is at the basket, the man that is guarding him, Eric Williams, is at the three point line.

[ShoogarBear]

Took a page from Horry's playbook. Played possum on the inbounds pass, steals in and lays it in over Dirk.

[ATX Spur]

9-11 FG so far for Tony.

[ShoogarBear]

What's the over/under on Eric Williams' body fat?

[Manu20]

6:33 DAL - Full timeout (Timeout #5)
6:33 SA - Layup by T. Duncan
6:33 SA - T. Duncan steals the ball from D. Nowitzki
6:41 SA - M. Ginobili made shot
6:54 DAL - J. Howard hit the second free throw
6:54 DAL - J. Howard missed the first free throw
6:54 SA - Shooting foul on R. Horry
7:13 SA - T. Parker made a 7-foot running jumper in the lane
7:30 DAL - Discontinued dribble on A. Johnson
7:31 DAL - D. Nowitzki defensive rebound

Spurs lead 68-51.

Whats up with coach Pop not wearing a tie?

[phyzik]

Whats the over/under Timmy gets a tech for a complaint? He got mighty close that last play that he fouled.

[dirk4mvp]

Is Hasselhoff at this game? That should get the ole' motor running.

[ShoogarBear]

WTF is Jim Grey on about?

[phyzik]

Is Hasselhoff at this game? That should get the ole' motor running.

I think you are a big jackass..... but I'll give you that one as being pretty damn funny :lol

[Horry For 3!]

Elson with the outside shot

[Horry For 3!]

<<<<<<<<

[Spurologist]

Elson jumper >>> Nazr/Rasho jumper

[ShoogarBear]

Big Shot Bob. 15 years in the league and nobody can still get it right.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Will this game fulfill Elson's destiny as a Spurs starter ? :smokin

[ShoogarBear]

Elson's about to pick up a shirt-untucked T.

[phyzik]

it seems unusually quite in here from Mavs fans, regardless if its a pre-season game or not.

I know this game doesnt mean jack shit, I just hope its a looking glass for whats to come... one can hope.

[Spurologist]

Vaughn with a dynamic baseline move as he absorbs the body contact and hits the falling layup!!!!!!!!

AND the foul!!!!!!!!!!1

Vaughn hits the free bee for the 3 pt play

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Vaughn > HITA > Beno?

[phyzik]

Elson gets punked... ouch!! lol.

Red Rocket hits a big one!

[ShoogarBear]

Better to take it strong like that than Nazr's 6 pump fakes or Rasho's fall-away hook shot, even if it gets blocked.

[ace3g]

I was just about to say the same thing

[picnroll]

Against the Mavs I'll take Elson over Nazr/Rasho any day.

[phyzik]

Better to take it strong like that than Nazr's 6 pump fakes or Rasho's fall-away hook shot, even if it gets blocked.

I agree.... at least Elson is agressive. He still got punked though lol. that was a nice block by Mbenga I have to admit.

[Spurologist]

As the clock ticks away to end the third quarter, Bonner receives the ball on the right baseline and with a soft deft touch around the basket, he releases the ball with sublime touch. THe ball softly floats in the air, hitting the backboard and landing in.

OH baby WHAT A PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

Better to take it strong like that than Nazr's 6 pump fakes or Rasho's fall-away hook shot, even if it gets blocked.

:tu better chance to go to the line. Best to take with authority than throw up prayers or create a turnover

[dirk4mvp]

What do you guys think of Ager?

[phyzik]

Nice shot by Udrih

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

That Eason guy dont back away from noone :fro

[phyzik]

What do you guys think of Ager?

Honestly, I dont know who he is... whats his number?

[Horry For 3!]

What do you guys think of Ager?
Don't know much about him. I never thought he was that great at Michigan State though.

Through his stats in the pre-season, he is an alright scorer but that is about all he gives.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Good to see Buck took his shot with him to Dallas :lol

I just hope mavs fans dont overrate his D like some of us Nuggets fans did :smokin

[phyzik]

maybe its just me... Ive been conditioned by the Spurs play over the years.... I cringe when I see someone that big (Bonner) not named Robert Horry taking a long range shot.

[smeagol]

Beno is sucking as again, isn't he?

[phyzik]

Avery looks depressed on the bench right before going to commercial. :depressed

[Slo spurs fan]

Beno is sucking as again, isn't he?
:wtf

[Spurologist]

Beno is sucking as again, isn't he?

played well, but that turnover stain looks to be permanant

[phyzik]

Beno is sucking as again, isn't he?

Beno's actually been OK considering its been a while since he has played.

[Slo spurs fan]

Beno's actually been OK considering its been a while since he has played.
4-4 0-0 0-0 0 3 3 2 0 1 2 0 8 is not THAT bad.

[phyzik]

Gino and Duncan on the sidelines :lol

[lefty]

maybe its just me... Ive been conditioned by the Spurs play over the years.... I cringe when I see someone that big (Bonner) not named Robert Horry taking a long range shot.

Bonner is an excellent shooter, especially of the pick'n'roll (which means more penetrations for TP and MAnu when he starts hitting 3's) ; don't worry

[phyzik]

Vaughn is looking pretty damn good... Beno better start proving himself pretty quickly.

[SCdac]

Can't watch the game here at work, but I'm checkin the boxscore. Spurs seem to be doing alright...

What's up with Oberto? How's he been? Foul trouble?

[kolko]

Beno 5-5 FG

[Spurologist]

Too much shit is being made about the ball. Play the game. It's a level playing field.

[lefty]

If u can download TVUplayer (www.viidoo.com) on ur computer, u can watch the game on ESPN

[phyzik]

Bonner is an excellent shooter, especially of the pick'n'roll (which means more penetrations for TP and MAnu when he starts hitting 3's) ; don't worry

Im sure you're right, its just conditioning for me, I have to get used to it...

Kinda like when you put on your pants you are used to putting one leg in first for your whole life then all of the sudden start putting the other leg in first... its just wierd :spin

[phxspurfan]

dammn the spurs are all over national TV i knew i shouldnt have shelled out that 180 bux for leagues pass :*[

[ShoogarBear]

Butler has looked like crap tonight.

[phxspurfan]

does vaughn look familiar to anyone a la avery? good dribbling, quick, good under the basket, leadership, bad long range game but solid pg?

[ace3g]

Elson With The 3!!!!

[Horry For 3!]

Nice 3 pt shot by Elson

[Horry For 3!]

Spurs break 100 and get the win

[ace3g]

does vaughn look familiar to anyone a la avery? good dribbling, quick, good under the basket, leadership, bad long range game but solid pg?

he reminds me alot of Speedy

[phyzik]

all 5 guards for SA combined.... 28 for 36....

As Hubbie said... thats a pretty staggering stat. Im sure its an exception being a pre-season game but that is pretty damn good.

[phxspurfan]

good hustle by the good guys all night

[kolko]

Elson for 3!

[ShoogarBear]

Elson With The 3!!!!Elson to Pop's doghouse!!!!

[phxspurfan]

uhhhh elson for 3!

[dirk4mvp]

I'm sure Avery will have a few choice words with the guys in the locker room.


Good game by the Spurs.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

WOOOT, go Frankie!

[phyzik]

I've really liked Vaughn's play this game from what I've seen, I'll have to go back and look at it closer since Im recording it but he looks like he will be hard to beat by Beno.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Pop has gotta start Frankie :smokin

[ShoogarBear]

What do you guys think of Ager?He looks like he has nice range. Can't imagine where they're going to find minutes for him.

[Slo spurs fan]

Very, very good game by Beno, especialy for 1st game of the (pre)season.

[phyzik]

Elson for another bomb

[phyzik]

Bonner with a nice hustle save at the end.

100-79 Spurs
FINAL

[ShoogarBear]

:tu Tony, Manu, Beno, Elson, Barry, Vaughn

:td Butler, _allas (yes, they were back tonight)

[Slo spurs fan]

I've really liked Vaughn's play this game from what I've seen, I'll have to go back and look at it closer since Im recording it but he looks like he will be hard to beat by Beno.
Why noone jump on him for his lost ball at the end of the game?

[phyzik]

Hopefully this type of play by the Spurs will be a continuation into the regular season. Without trying to sound too homerish, I dont think Dallas could beat a Spurs team playing like that.

To be fair, Dallas was looking very lack-luster, but its not like the Spurs where playing balls to the wall either.... still LOTS of questions for the Spurs but I feel more at ease after actually being able to see them play instead of just stats.

[picnroll]

Hard to believe Devin Harris actually hurt the Spurs last year. He looks like 13th man material.

[timvp]

Props to Elson and Beno. Beno looked like he was never really hurt :)

Good to see the Spurs whooop up on Dallas. Too bad it means nothing.

Hopefully this Spurs team shows up to begin the year.

[Slo spurs fan]

I didn't know anything about Elson, before reading all the complaints about him on this board during the offseason...

I don't see too much wrong with him... at least compared to what we had...
Wait until true centers come to SA (Shaq, Ming...)

[phyzik]

Why noone jump on him for his lost ball at the end of the game?

How long has Beno been in the Spurs system?

How long has Vaughn been in the Spurs system?

I like Beno, but we need to face reality... to me the Team comes first and right now, considering how short of a time Vaughn has been in the Spurs system, he looks to have much more up-side then the unarguably injury-prone Beno.

[Slo spurs fan]

How long has Beno been in the Spurs system?

How long has Vaughn been in the Spurs system?
What have this to do with of the lost ball of the drible?

[phyzik]

What have this to do with of the lost ball of the drible?

are you saying Beno doesnt?

Look, again I will say it, I like Beno as a player... He just needs to prove himself better then Vaughn, and knowing Beno's history thats going to be tough.

[dirk4mvp]

Wait until true centers come to SA (Shaq, Ming...)


Congrats. You put the tallest pile of mashed potatos in the world in the same class as Shaq.

[CubanMustGo]

Scoreboard, bitch. And you still nearly shot 2x as many FTs.

[phyzik]

so sad Spurs fans....someone tell them this is preseason...so sad lol.

fixed

[Slo spurs fan]

Congrats. You put the tallest pile of mashed potatos in the world in the same class as Shaq.
We know you are dumb. There is no need to prove it again.
Ming is very good if not great center and he will only get better.

[mavsfan1000]

It definitely looked like San Antonio wanted this game more. Dallas had the attitude like we already beat this team and it is preseason. Hopefully Dallas regains the focus sometime this year. I have a feeling Dallas is going to have a slow start to the regular season.

[dirk4mvp]

We know you are dumb. There is no need to prove it again.
Ming is very good if not great center and he will only get better.


No. Nobody thinks I'm dumb. Just you. Everybody else thinks I'm a jackass.

[dirk4mvp]

WTF? How is a Mavs fan named "Amarelooms"?

[Slo spurs fan]

No. Nobody thinks I'm dumb. Just you. Everybody else thinks I'm a jackass.
OK, from now on you are DUMB wannabe JACKASS.

[dirk4mvp]

OK, from now on you are DUMB wannabe JACKASS.


And since you were born, you've failed at life. We're even.

[phyzik]

I got that feeling too... the only thing that stops me believing it is the pre game interviews and the dejected look on Avery's face near the midway point of the game.

Dallas obviously would have wanted a win... otherwise they wouldnt have played the starters for so long against our starters (same goes for Spurs). I just ask dont make it out to be like Dallas lost only because they didnt care, they obviously did.

Here's to a good game when it counts (Nov 2nd).

[THE SIXTH MAN]

As a Suns fan I am going to cheer for the Mavs.....they are a great team and as a WCF gotta pull for em. Also how can anyone cheer for Shaq, that idiot Payton, Jason Williams, thug Zo, and that jackass Walker. GO MAVS!!!

Your a fucking joke!!!!!

:owned :lol

[ponky]

WTF? How is a Mavs fan named "Amarelooms"?


He's only a Mavs fan on the Spurstalk board. Go check out his posts on mavtalk, he's always dissing the Mavs. It's understandable given that Amare may or may not loom, it remains to be seen whether any looming will occur.

[dirk4mvp]

:tu

[1Parker1]

Dallas had the attitude like we already beat this team and it is preseason.

That's funny. From 2000-2005, that's exactly the kind of attitude the Spurs had when they played _allas. Difference is, they won a few championships to back up the attitude :spin

[ponky]

TEN pages for a pre-season game? haha, cute

They guy can at least grow a pair and represent for his team instead of hiding behind another.

[Trainwreck2100]

The Nov.2 blog will prob be 2x this one. But this one is bigger than a Hornets/Spurs blog would be.

[ponky]

Your first assessment was right, a FUCKING JOKE! Nobody wants him and I doubt the Suns board will take him, they're so *PC* and uptight sometimes. he Amarelooms, go make me a rug.
