Spurs vs. Mavs Nov. 22nd -- Game Blog

[dieman8686]

Who ever wins the refs are starting to ruin the game sigh...

[hitmanyr2k]

Ugh...some great passing mixed with terrible passing tonight.

[Sam]

Ugh...some great passing mixed with terrible passing tonight.
Seems real hit and miss on a lot of things including passing and rebounding.

[dg7md]

I like this passion by Oberto, but they need to make this into a victory, they can't get over the 10 point hump anymore it seems.

As long as they get it to within 6-8 to start the fourth they should be in a good place to possibly win.

[ChumpDumper]

Damn, we telegraph, telephone, email and fedex our passes to the Mavs, don't we?

[Cherry]

Oberto also knows how to stop global warming...

Fabri facts :lol

[Spurologist]

Manu needs to come ALIVE

[dg7md]

Remember back when people thought Duncan could become a 75 percent FT shooter? :lol

[Sam]

Manu needs to come ALIVE
Thought you insuinated that he wasn't dead.

[Tek_XX]

I thought tim was mr. fundamentals

[hitmanyr2k]

Perhaps Duncan can start using the glass on free throws. That line drive would go right in off the back board lol.

[Sam]

Barry in the game to light them up.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oberto also knows how to stop global warming...

Bugger off whottt, you don't know shit. Keep it to basketball in this part of the forum, and if you have anything to add try actually debating me on the scientific evidence - there are plenty of threads in political, and you've pussied out of all of them.

My point was,what was he doing driving on Nowitzki? Easy buckets off cuts, fine, but leave the post moves to Timmy.

[Sam]

Damn how was that not a foul on Duncan driving after Barry's pass?

[hitmanyr2k]

Horry is back. Will he wake the fuck up?

[whottt]

Bugger off whottt, you don't know shit.


I'll sod off if you don't mind.

It's a scientific fact that Oberto is so hot tonight that his removal from the Earth would lower world temp by 15 degrees....








Farenheit.

[Sam]

Horry is back. Will he wake the fuck up?
Nope, he'll brick some shots and blow some defensive assignments but I HOPE I'm wrong.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Damn, we telegraph, telephone, email and fedex our passes to the Mavs, don't we?

we deliver on sundays now... :(:(

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Mavs love that out of bounds! :lol

[hitmanyr2k]

I hate to see when someone has the baseline wide open and not take it.

[spurs_in_7]

horry to the doghouse!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sam]

I'll sod off if you don't mind.

Farenheit.

:lol :lol :lol TOO FUNNY

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Yes Barry!!!!

[Sam]

Barry!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spurs_in_7]

choke meter: 4/5 :lol

[Cherry]

Barry! tres

[Spurologist]

I love anthony johnson

[Sam]

Damn the AT&T is loud tonight. Sounds great on TV.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Yes Duncaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

Ugly, but I'll take it.

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan was camped in the paint for 10 seconds :lol I just knew the "3 second call" was gonna be blown before the layup. Luckily it wasn't. And the Mavericks can't hold a lead on the Spurs for shit. They always find a way to choke it up.

[ChumpDumper]

Wow, the worst successful play of the evening.

[samikeyp]

Ladies and gentlemen....the once and future MVP....

Tim Duncan.

[Sam]

NICE PASS HORRY!!! He was really looking. It was a good start from Bowen.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Lol!!! Horrryyyyyyy!!!

[samikeyp]

Nice to see you contribute Rob!

[spurs_in_7]

choke meter 5/5 :flypig :lol

[Sam]

I was totally wrong. Horry with two big plays

[whottt]

Robeet Horry would like to say a big fat fuck you to everyone in this thread.

[Sam]

Robeet Horry would like to say a big fat fuck you to everyone in this thread.
And if he plays like that every time he comes in then he can. :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ok whottt,sod off then.

Beautiful passing.

[hitmanyr2k]

Refs caught Duncan that time. He has to stop standing around like a statue.

[Sam]

I'm assuming there's a past with RuffnReadyOzStyle and Whott?

[TDMVPDPOY]

we are back in the game

now lets upset these mofos

you can do it if you put ur back into it

P.S benched horry plz

[hitmanyr2k]

Great transition defense by the Spurs that time.

[Tek_XX]

Barry and Vaugn aren't helping here.

[DaSpurs#1]

is there a place i can listen to the game on the internet? i looked at 1200 woai but couldn't find the link. please help.

[samikeyp]

no

[whottt]

I'm assuming there's a past with RuffnReadyOzStyle and Whott?


I have a past with 90% of the forum...our day will come, don't worry :)

[whottt]

I'm not really liking Vaugn's AI impression.

[hitmanyr2k]

Barry and Vaugn aren't helping here.

Beno must have pissed Popovich off big time. I thought Horry had a worst 1st half and he got a second chance. I think Beno needs a chance to redeem himself also.

[Sam]

I have a past with 90% of the forum...our day will come, don't worry :)
LOL are you wanting a past with me or a present? :wink

[whottt]

Damn...Manu never stays down like that.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

whottt is a climate change "skeptic" even though he wouldn't know the evidence from his arse. I'm an ecologist.

We also disagree politically on a few points (basically, he's a rabid warmonger, I'm a moderate left).

Anyhoo, backto the ball.

[Sam]

Damn...Manu never stays down like that.
He's hurting BAD

[Tek_XX]

Manu ain't doing shit anyway

[samikeyp]

Nice! Foul on Dirk.

[whottt]

That should be a flagrant on Dirk.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Jesus, Oberto is doing EVERYTHING!

[Sam]

Oberto taking the charge

[zero signal]

Oberto in place of Manu...

[ChumpDumper]

Dirk thought Oberto was an exercise bike.

[Spurologist]

Vaughn Bitches

[whottt]

Oberto>Dirk

I hope Dirk gets suspended for his thuggery.

[hitmanyr2k]

Oberto must be getting some great ass at home. That's the only explanation for his play.

[Sam]

WOO HOO!!!!!!! OBERTO showing them how it's done. Vaughn playing big tonight.

[samikeyp]

shouldn't count.

[TDMVPDPOY]

fabricio>dirk hahaha

[whottt]

Shut the fuck up Hubie

[samikeyp]

Its not conclusive!


no wait...that's the NFL! :spin

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu looks like he's hurt his back.

Oberto is :smokin

[Sam]

whottt is a climate change "skeptic" even though he wouldn't know the evidence from his arse. I'm an ecologist.

We also disagree politically on a few points (basically, he's a rabid warmonger, I'm a moderate left).

Anyhoo, backto the ball.
Rabid and moderate...hmm...nice descriptive terms there.

[Spurologist]

Its not conclusive!


no wait...that's the NFL! :spin

what was the ruling on the field?? That's the key.

Looked close but good from the side angle

[Sam]

If we don't need him, let's put some ice on Manu's back and sit him. Better to take care of him now than pay for it later.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Vaughn looks okay, but what happened to Beno - just playing poorly?

[dirk4mvp]

Oberto>Dirk

I hope Dirk gets suspended for his thuggery.

I hope Oberto gets that part in that movie he was trying out for.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I hope Manu is ok, does anyone think Pop is going to put him back in the fourth? I think he's gone for the game.

[samikeyp]

what was the ruling on the field?? That's the key.

Looked close but good from the side angle

First dowwwwwnn! :lol

[Tek_XX]

That review definitly wasn't as conclusive as the officials made it look.

[spurs_in_7]

elson who???

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sam - go to the polical forum and check out whottt's posts about the Middle East. You'll find he's rather rabid about bombing the shit out of the place.

OTOH,I don't think that solves anything and that the best way forward is to mend bridges.

Rabid v moderate.

[lefty]

Dirk thought Oberto was an exercise bike.
:lol :lol :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Seriously,don't get us started! :lmao

[Spurologist]

they didn't count it.

[samikeyp]

looks like it didn't count.

[whottt]

IF Manu busted his tailbone, he's really going to be feeling it over the next few days.


The look on his face definitely said tailbone to me.

[hitmanyr2k]

Manu is El Contusion. That means he'll come back in and have a 15 point 4th qtr and kill the Mavericks.

[~Sweetmelody~]

WOW! Oberto is having a great game.

My poor Manu, I hope he is okay.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Damn my spacebar... :lol

[Sam]

Sam - go to the polical forum and check out whottt's posts about the Middle East. You'll find he's rather rabid about bombing the shit out of the place.

Rabid v moderate.
Guess I didn't realize there was a political forum. I'll have to check that out in a little while...maybe after the game while watching my Gators.

[whottt]

I'm not feelin' this lineup Pop has out there...at all.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu was seriously grimacing,he may not be back...

So, 4th, I say it's close until 4 mins, then we pull away to about 8 and hold it

[hitmanyr2k]

Even though that was a bad pass by Vaughn that's the 3rd time I've seen Bowen not even looking for the pass. He needs to be more aware.

[whottt]

Pop must be determined to have a lineup out there with no discernible offensive threat.

[Sam]

Is Manu still on the bench? Can't tell.

[whottt]

Ok I want Vaugn's ass on the bench.

[hitmanyr2k]

Jesus Horry. Grab a damn rebound...don't tap it. And where the hell is Elson?

[Sam]

Here comes Parker

[Sam]

There's Eva

[samikeyp]

ugh.....horry.

[samikeyp]

yeah...leave Dirk open. :rolleyes

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sam, don't bother. It's just two tribes shouting at each other and no-one listening...like real politics, really.

[Sam]

Here comes Manu

[hitmanyr2k]

What a great lineup Popovich threw out there. Sometimes I just don't know where his brain is.

[Shaolin-Style]

So why's horry in and why's timmy sitting for so long.

Hell, why is Horry in at all. Did I miss something about Elson not being there? Didn't he do awesome against the mavs last time?

[Tek_XX]

damn too bad our team can't score or this would be a good game.

[Sam]

Sam, don't bother. It's just two tribes shouting at each other and no-one listening...like real politics, really.
Yeah but it will start getting fun when the new Congress goes back into session and the presidential campaigns start.

[samikeyp]

I think he was trying to give his starters as much of a rest as possible...but the minute Dirk got off the bench....I would have put Duncan back in.

[Spurologist]

I'd take a Terry jumper over a Dirk J a million times out of a million.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Man, we play beautiful ball for 3 minutes,then forget how to play completely... I guess it's November

[spurs_in_7]

choke meter 2/5 :depressed

[Sam]

I'm tired of all the other teams getting on NBA CARES commericials. We do a lot for the communities. You would think we could get on one. Only one they are showing is Bonner in China.

[whottt]

It's the lineup Pop put out there....

Oberto, Vaughn, Finley, Horry and Bowen....


Pop's a dumbass for that.

[dg7md]

Put it together!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yeah but it will start getting fun when the new Congress goes back into session and the presidential campaigns start.

Nah, the shouting will just get louder, and the ignoring more obvious

[Sam]

Duncan and Parker back in

[Tek_XX]

Pop found this worst combination possible to start that 4th quater.

[Sam]

Barry coming in

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow, BWallace 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0. 1 assist. Now THAT"S a bad game!

[Jekka]

Horry needs to be pulled. He's playing HORRIBLE.

[ShoogarBear]

Pop found this worst combination possible to start that 4th quater.one point off on the game grades

[Sam]

One shot and we are tied up. Quit bitching about the lineup from 4 minutes ago. Coach Pop was resting some of them just like Avery was.

[Jekka]

As is Parker.

[samikeyp]

Parker not having a good night.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tony has been invisible

[samikeyp]

weak foul

[spurs_in_7]

parker should be the worst 4th quarter performer in the league

[Jekka]

One shot and we are tied up. Quit bitching about the lineup from 4 minutes ago. Coach Pop was resting some of them just like Avery was.

Fuck that. I've never been one to rag on Pop, but him using Horry so much and his zone in the 2nd half were horrible decisions. Toss in the play of finley to start the 2nd and he's not doing a good job tonight.

[loveforthegame]

This is the most frustrating game of the season.

[zero signal]

The bank is open.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That shot was with his old form too

[Sam]

Duncan with the nice fake and the bank shot in.

[lefty]

Parker WTF????? :bang :bang

[samikeyp]

Now Dirk is complaining.

[whottt]

I hope Duncan was weraring a condom...for Dirk's sake.

[Sam]

Fuck that. I've never been one to rag on Pop, but him using Horry so much and his zone in the 2nd half were horrible decisions. Toss in the play of finley to start the 2nd and he's not doing a good job tonight.
I think Pop is giving Horry and Finley every chance to get their acts together and start playing.

[spurs_in_7]

:pctoss

[Tek_XX]

half-ass foul by Bowen.

[Jekka]

I think Pop is giving Horry and Finley every chance to get their acts together and start playing.

Yeah, the time for that was in the 2nd or 3rd, not the fourth. Horry is still out there and Oberto who has been incredible this game is still on the bench halfway through the damn fourth. Its ridiculous.

-Manny

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Vintage TD

Silly foul there tho... on replay, where was the foul???

[samikeyp]

Keep giving it to Timmy...he is hot right now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

And no Elson! WTF? Wasn't he our best Dirk defender last game?

[samikeyp]

yeah that was pretty weak.....they let the teams play for long stretches...then all of a sudden get touchy.

[Jekka]

I don't mind four down everytime right now, because they can't guard Tim. But they need to hit the open 3s when they come, because they will.

Glad to see Oberto back. I'm really frustrated with Horry.

[samikeyp]

I don't mind four down everytime right now, because they can't guard Tim. But they need to hit the open 3s when they come, because they will.

agreed.

[samikeyp]

fucking Bowen.

[hitmanyr2k]

I think Pop is giving Horry and Finley every chance to get their acts together and start playing.

While not giving Beno a chance to redeem himself (after one bad play) and making Elson invisible? Popovich can be an idiot at times. This is one of those nights.

[Sam]

Damn nice move there by Duncan

[Jekka]

HORRIBLE CALL!!

Holy shit!

[Sam]

Parker is just out of control tonight. Eva making him crazy?

[Spurologist]

When the fuck is two steps a travel

[Sam]

I'll give him credit. Dirk is coming up big for them

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

boooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[lefty]

Fire Parker

[samikeyp]

About time TP shows up.

[Tek_XX]

HOLY SHIT tony made a jumper

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Parker is Harris' bitch tonight

[ShoogarBear]

Those assholes almost didn't call that.

[samikeyp]

damn.....

[Sam]

Damn in and out

[Sam]

There you go, Parker. Nice left hand.

[samikeyp]

yes....get it back TP

[Jekka]

Great take by Tony. Where has that been all night?!??!?!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

whottt, I think you were right about Manu and the tailbone

[hitmanyr2k]

The Mavs are playing like the Suns tonight. A lot of transition baskets.

[Spurologist]

Pop found this worst combination possible to start that 4th quater.

come again?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

finally Tony goes to the rim - the play before he shoots a 21ft J!? Only guy on the floor for us that should be shooting any kind of J is Barry

[whottt]

Could be...I figured he might come back this game but would be sore tomorrow...if he doesn't play tonight I'll be surprised if he's able to walk right before Sunday.

[loveforthegame]

Let's hope Parker hasn't shown up too late.

[samikeyp]

The Mavs are playing like the Suns tonight. A lot of transition baskets.

yeah but the Mavs actually play defense.....Spurs need to play some right now.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I sense an AHF blowup coming.

[Tek_XX]

come again?

No not really, i think you can figure it out.

[Jekka]

I sense an AHF blowup coming.

I'll probably be on AHF's side tonight

[Sam]

Duncan with the big board there

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Yes Tony!! At Last!! Playing Like Himself!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Could be...I figured he might come back this game but would be sore tomorrow...if he doesn't play tonight I'll be surprised if he's able to walk right before Sunday.

Yup.

I've done it and it hurts for a week.

[Sam]

Damn it

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan has to stop waiting for the damn double team. Attack sometimes dammit.

[zero signal]

I miss Manu already.

[Jekka]

Thats not a travel.

[samikeyp]

I'll probably be on AHF's side tonight

make that three of us.

[Sam]

So Manu might miss both games out West?

[hitmanyr2k]

What the fuck was that? That's not Bowen's game :wtf

[Shaolin-Style]

A freakin minute left and bowen drives.

That makes sense.

[bdictjames]

Mavs up by 3

[Tek_XX]

fuckin spurs have no clue what they're doing.

[loveforthegame]

Nice turnover by Parker and what is Bowen going for a layup for?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

And then he forces it... uggh

[Sam]

Let's play some Defense.

[samikeyp]

ball game. dammit.

[zero signal]

Nasty...

[hitmanyr2k]

Wow, Duncan could learn something from Dirk. See how to use that upfake Tim? You should try doing that in the paint once in awhile.

[Jekka]

I don't like the shot by Bruce one bit. You need to reset at that point, and look for someone else.

[dg7md]

This loss wouldn't be so bad if we didn't lose to the Bobcats.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WTF bOwen!!!?>????

Pass it up!

[Jekka]

Its not game yet. Its a 2 possession game. You're nuts if you think this game is over. Remember the Bobcats game?

[dimsah]

If they're going to call travel on a legal hop-step from Parker then I want a fucking travel every time one of the Mavs head fakes because they're changing pivot feet.

[loveforthegame]

The Mavs playing with no fear while the Spurs run around like asses.

[dg7md]

Its not game yet. Its a 2 possession game. You're nuts if you think this game is over. Remember the Bobcats game?

Bobcats are a young team, this Mavericks team is far from that.

[TDMVPDPOY]

i think im goin to file for bankruptcy, fuckn pop and his lame rotation

[Sam]

Not sure Bowen should be driving at all

[samikeyp]

Its not game yet. Its a 2 possession game. You're nuts if you think this game is over. Remember the Bobcats game?

then I am nuts.

[Shaolin-Style]

Wow, Duncan could learn something from Dirk. See how to use that upfake Tim? You should try doing that in the paint once in awhile.


While he's "teaching" Duncan to do that, he could learn how to guard Fabricio Oberto from Duncan.

[Spurologist]

Bowen missed layup
Dirk jumper

F
U
C
K

[ShoogarBear]

Horrible execution down the stretch.

[Jekka]

Wow, Duncan could learn something from Dirk. See how to use that upfake Tim? You should try doing that in the paint once in awhile.

Tim has played nearly flawless form the 2nd period on. You're an idiot if you have one bad thing (outside of FT shooting) about Tim's game tonight

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We lost this game thru bad decisions in the last two minutes

Faaaaarrk!

WHY CAN'T WE WIN AT HOME THIS YEAR?!?

[hitmanyr2k]

In Bowen's defense he almost made it but driving baseline for a reverse layup is not his game lol.

[Dre_7]

If only Tony had showed up to play all game. Well, thats what happens when you play like shit the first 3 qtrs.

[Sam]

We need some stops

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

If we end up losing this game, it's squarely on Pop's head

[Jekka]

Bobcats are a young team, this Mavericks team is far from that.

And? Its a 2 possesion game. 2 shots.

[samikeyp]

Tim has played nearly flawless form the 2nd period on. You're an idiot if you have one bad thing (outside of FT shooting) about Tim's game tonight

no just a hater.

[TwoHandJam]

Parker is what he is. You're either clutch or you aren't. Parker isn't.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

and that's game

oh well, when we learn to play D we might actually be able to do something

[loveforthegame]

WTF?? Waste 5 seconds for another Bowen drive? We needed a 3 not a quick 2.

[zero signal]

If only Tony had showed up to play all game. Well, thats what happens when you play like shit the first 3 qtrs.
Also, if only the Spurs would quit allowing insane first quarters from the Mavs. :pctoss

[lefty]

We didn't deserve to win tonight
Lack of focus
Parker should get back with his former ugly girlfriend
Someone should remind Bowen he is not Kobe Bryant

[Jekka]

Pop tries to outcoach himself against the Mavs. He did it last year, and he's done it in this game. Just go with what you do, don't run zones, don't try stupid lineups, just play your damn game.

[bdictjames]

Another loss at home? Uggh

[hitmanyr2k]

Tim has played nearly flawless form the 2nd period on. You're an idiot if you have one bad thing (outside of FT shooting) about Tim's game tonight

I'm talking for future reference dipshit. Duncan has been getting his shots smacked a lot this season because he's getting predictable. Mr. Fundamental needs to add a good pumpfake to his game instead of going straight up all the time.

[lefty]

Parker sucks !!! overrated

[samikeyp]

I called it in the preseason....the SW division will be a dog fight the whole year and it will be back and forth. Tonight proves it.

[Sam]

Are we going to foul???

[Tek_XX]

Remember when we were a good home team.

[Jekka]

How The Fuck Is That Not A Travel?!?!?!?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If we end up losing this game, it's squarely on Pop's head

wtf???

It's on TP's and Bruce's head - they are the ones who've made bad decisions in the last 2 mins.

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

hhahahahah Dirk wtf?

[dimsah]

unbelievable

[Shaolin-Style]

Boy, mavs get all the breaks at the end of games.

It's like the playoffs all over.

[Spurologist]

Fuckin FIN about get a tech. GTFO

[loveforthegame]

Is Pop aware were down 4.

[Sam]

We come out hard in the 1st then we aren't here at the end.

[Jekka]

I'm talking for future reference dipshit. Duncan has been getting his shots smacked a lot this season because he's getting predictable. Mr. Fundamental needs to add a good pumpfake to his game instead of going straight up all the time.

You're a complete idiot who obviously knows very little about basketball. I'll start to ignore your useless posts.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Why the fuck didn't we foul???

[samikeyp]

Maybe these two teams should play for the road-court advantage! :spin

[Jekka]

Oh, and theres another strike on Pop. You foul there. WTF?

[Sam]

We need a quick 2 then foul quickly.

[whottt]

That's bullshit they call Parker when he barely travels and swallow their whistles when Dirk travles like a motherfucker.

[hitmanyr2k]

I'll start to ignore your useless posts.

So? I don't know you and don't want to. Be gone.

[Jekka]

Devin Harris is a moron.

[whottt]

Duncan getting 3 FT"s doesn't excite me.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Come On Duncan!! Pleaaase!!!

[Sam]

:lol :lol :lol NO WAY!!! :lol :lol :lol

[samikeyp]

Boy, mavs get all the breaks at the end of games.

It's like the playoffs all over.

Its not that bro....the Spurs weren't excuting down the stretch and the Mavs were.

[ShoogarBear]

LMAO.

Too bad, it's Duncan shooting the FTs.

[whottt]

Still doesn't excite me.

[Sam]

Shhhhh...don't say anything

[01Snake]

Make 2..miss 1 and get the putback. lol

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Yes Duncan!!! One More!!!
