pop is going to bonner.

[RashoFan]

Cmon Tim! Cmon Spurs....

[Texas_Ranger]

Duncan for 3.

Big Shot Rob

[Kobulingam]

Hope Big Shot Rob comes up with another biggy
BSB was done long ago.

[Leetonidas]

Fuck Bowen. Fuck the Spurs. Cast of losers.

[dg7md]

Trade Bowen.

[Budkin]

Oh man that would have been awesome... but he missed...

[midgetonadonkey]

The season is over. The Spurs will never win a ring again.

[VaSpursFan]

bruce shooting sucks with this new old ball

[ca®lo]

game over.

fucking oberto!

[Kobulingam]

I feel a turnover coming.

BINGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

you WIn

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

BOWEN??!?!?! Fucking kidding me!

[cambrad]

Mavs own you. You need Frankie Franchise back.

[Fillmoe]

im glad bruce bowen missed that.... dirty players dont deserve anything good to happen to them

[Horry For 3!]

Bruce didn't make it.....

[itzsoweezee]

hate to say this, but Duncan = bitchmade

[sprrs]

What was up with that line up?

[Tek_XX]

ESPN guys laughing it up

[SoCalSpursFan]

wtf.... why call timeout!?

[fred33]

The Big Problem For The Spurs Are The Role Players

[Bob Lanier]

Does Jacque Vaughn get the next crack at a game-winner?

[boutons_]

A Big Loss on Tim's FTs throughout the game.

His TO to Dirk in crunch time

His missed FT in crunch time

Tim is no longer Spurs go to man.

[Budkin]

Oh well... at least this will ensure a trade...

[mavsfan1000]

Bowen had his chance. Mavs were lucky but they'll take it.

[hitmanyr2k]

ESPN guys laughing it up

Well...they've been in the Mavs corner all night so why shouldn't they? lol

[lefty]

Pop, WTF?
Where are our shooters? Setting a play for Bowen???

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

if only Bowen had made that...but besides four Spurs everyone else's shot were ICE COLD. Damn...these games are always down to the LAST possession.

[Spurologist]

game over.

fucking oberto!

fuckoff him.

He at least went to get the rebound. Bowen had a good look. It is what is it is. It just wasn't meant to be.

[Texas_Ranger]

Screw you Bowen. 3rd. loss in a row.

[VaSpursFan]

this team needs a major overhaul now. something needs to happen to shake these bitches up

[Celtic Pride]

Good game, it was close.

[Extra Stout]

This team simply does not have the size, youth, or athleticism to get through the West this year. The fact that Dallas owns them will be a moot point because the Spurs won't get past Phoenix.

[Budkin]

Props to the Mavs... that's all I can say...

[anonymous coward]

i was no convinced but...the ponies are really good
ponies>spurs
dirk>duncan

sorry spurs fan but the glory days are finished.

the spurs are past, history

[Amarelooms]

Will you Spurs fans support the Mavs once they eliminate ya'll again this year?

[Dirk Nowitzki]

I rest my case. I told you guys to go out and party or go to a movie tonight and AVOID the fucking game!! I TOLD YOU SO AND YOU SHOULD OF LISTENED TO ME!! :rolleyes :rolleyes FACT REMAINS MAVS>>>>>>SPURS AND THE GAP IS NOT CLOSE AT ALL. STOP WITH THESE WET DREAM FANTASIES THAT YOU CAN BEAT US IN A 7 GAME SERIES! :elephant

[spursaretheone]

So where was our #1 three point shooter???

[TDMVPDPOY]

bowen/finley/udrih/horry and rest of bench needs to be cleared

i go far to even say chuck in duncan also = he only shows to half of the games....i dont give a shit him havin a dallas killer playoff performance last season......im only concerned of the present and future.....TD is playing worster than DROB at this age....

[lefty]

Mavs own you. You need Frankie Franchise back.

And we own you

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'll be amazed if we even get homecourt in the first round of the playoffs at this rate


we need SEVERAL trades, not just one

[Steve Perry]

Daaaaaay-O

wtf is finley takin as many shots as tim duncan? :(:(

[Dirk Nowitzki]

congratulations Mavs, you deserved the win.
You should of gone out and gotten some pussy rather then being served another dose of reality.

[judaspriestess]

dallas is where the Spurs were just a few years ago. pricks have their team intact from last year and that speaks volumes, same for Phoenix.

Will dallas win a championship remains to be seen, I say Phoenix goes first.

[hitmanyr2k]

??? The Mavericks won the series last year off a fluke bonehead foul. Every game has been close. What makes you think the gap isn't close? Because of a game in January? Are you an idiot?

[boutons_]

Big blow to the Spurs' confidence.

Mavs come in on 2nd of B2B, weather a great 24 minutes from Spurs, then take over in 2nd half as Spurs go cold, and win their 3rd game @ATT.

In crunch time, Spurs can't get stops, can't make their shots, can't get RBs.

Spurs drop 4 games behind Mavs.

[Cherry]

You Spurs fans on this board are pathetic.

[themvp]

wtf is finley takin as many shots as tim duncan? :(:(

No, no, forget this. Wtf is Duncan a role player? Pop, anyone?

True

[Chip Dog]

It hurts worse to lose to a Nazi.

Spurs need to ditch Udrih and possibly Barry or Finley. Udrih is just a giant hunk of dung.

[Budkin]

We just can't keep it going... we need a better bench...

[dallaskd]

now would be the time to trade duncan. the t-wolves are shopping garnett. maybe a duncan, finley, bowen for garnett, jaric and would work. im not sure but i really do think the spurs should move duncan and some of their carrpy bench players for garnett and a quality bench guy.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

You know how a team during their championship season has those special games that always stick out as one of the highlights en route to the championship?

Well Dallas had that game tonight


It's only January, but the gap between SA and Dallas has never been bigger

[Horry For 3!]

Rebounding comes and kicks the Spurs in the ass once again

[Chip Dog]

Duncan choked tonight. You can't deny that. For some reason Tim can't handle double teams lately; just ask Eric Snow who had a field day with TD.

[spursaretheone]

Looks like we should have went after maggette. haha

[Texas_Ranger]

It looks like tim is the 7 option in offense.

[zocool16]

I wanna cry...what is happening man...

[Budkin]

I actually don't feel all that bad about the loss... we are not as good as the Mavs in our current state. We need Elson back and we need to trade for more athleticism.

[spursaretheone]

Where the FUCK was Barry!! Our hottest three point shooter and horry and even Finley who hit a couple of tough shots tonight! Fucking Pop better change some shit up in the second half of the season!! Im out this Motherfucker!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I know where the Mavs will catch their flight out of here...anyone wanna go egg their bus and plane?

Screw that, we need Pop's address though.

[Shank]

It hurts worse to lose to a Nazi.

Josh Howard is a Nazi?

[ca®lo]

Will you Spurs fans support the Mavs once they eliminate ya'll again this year?

why shouldnt i? i supported this team even before they won a ring. cant see any reason why i should bail out on them now.

cant say the same for the bandwagons

[boutons_]

Spurs miss 10 FTs, Tim misses 7 of Spurs' 10, lose by 5 pts.

FTs are a huge stain on Tim's career.

[VaSpursFan]

Where the FUCK was Barry!! Our hottest three point shooter and horry and even Finley who hit a couple of tough shots tonight! Fucking Pop better change some shit up in the second half of the season!! Im out this Motherfucker!!!

barry was at the game...but his game wasn't. dood stunk up the joint tonight

[Chip Dog]

Barry stinks. Finley stinks. Horry stinks. It's starting to look like an old folks home on that bench. We don't need a bunch of once great players, we need NOW great players.

[Deb]

Rebounding comes and kicks the Spurs in the ass once again
This was the difference in the second half. It's not skill, its the motivation of the Spurs right now. They just can't keep it together for a full game.

[Chip Dog]

Actually, Dirk is the Nazi, Josh Howard is just a douche.

[sprrs]

Rebounding comes and kicks the Spurs in the ass once again

Rebounding and free throws actually. Hopefully one of those problems will be taken care of once Elson gets back.

[hitmanyr2k]

You know how a team during their championship season has those special games that always stick out as one of the highlights en route to the championship?

Well Dallas had that game tonight


It's only January, but the gap between SA and Dallas has never been bigger

I don't think we watched the same game. I saw the Mavs get back in the game from offensive boards. Their offense wasn't pretty at all and there was really nothing special about their 4th qtr. The Spurs just played worse. The backbreaker was the Jason Terry put-back off the Dirk airball. It all comes down to making the right play at the right time with these 2 teams. That's a very NARROW gap. Duncan left his game in the lockerroom at the half and couldn't make free throws down the stretch and the Spurs were STILL there in the end. Not a big gap by any means.

[dallaskd]

I actually don't feel all that bad about the loss... we are not as good as the Mavs in our current state. We need Elson back and we need to trade for more athleticism.

You need to trade Duncan and a couple of your shitty bench players for Garnett and a good bench player.

[VaSpursFan]

Rebounding and free throws actually. Hopefully one of those problems will be taken care of once Elson gets back.

what does maggette do...rebound and hit free throws and you don't pull the trigger because you want to keep barry and udrih? WTF???

[Texas_Ranger]

Trade Barry, Finley and Horry for some 20 years old players.

[Chip Dog]

what does maggette do...rebound and hit free throws and you don't pull the trigger because you want to keep barry and udrih? WTF???


Maggette also likes getting hurt alot. No thanks.

[judaspriestess]

now would be the time to trade duncan. the t-wolves are shopping garnett. maybe a duncan, finley, bowen for garnett, jaric and would work. im not sure but i really do think the spurs should move duncan and some of their carrpy bench players for garnett and a quality bench guy.


what a stupid idiotic thing to say. Until your team does better than a choke job by losing F-O-U-R in a row in the Finals for all the world to see, then you can speak your ignoramous dribble.

[Shank]

Actually, Dirk is the Nazi, Josh Howard is just a douche.

You sure about that, new guy?

[Deb]

You sure about that, new guy?
Has this site now been comandeered as the new Dallas Mavericks site, or what?

[anonymous coward]

just thank to oberto for have a chance of win the game :lol

[RashoFan]

Screw that, we need Pop's address though.
That isn't hard to find...if you know where to look.
BTW...your sig is hot...damn! Salma has great boobs

[Chip Dog]

Hey, DallasKd, Duncan is what we call a franchise player, why would we trade him after all he's done for us? Remember Kidd? Finley? Mashburn? Nash? All great players your douche of an owner traded away like 25 cent baseball cards. Duncan will forever be a Spur. It's called loyalty, ass.

[dbreiden83080]

Spurs miss 10 FTs, Tim misses 7 of Spurs' 10, lose by 5 pts.

FTs are a huge stain on Tim's career.

Man has won 3 titles and 3 finals MVP's so that stain can't be to visable.

[xamila rey]

I actually don't feel all that bad about the loss... we are not as good as the Mavs in our current state. We need Elson back and we need to trade for more athleticism.

thats exactly what i think.
besides that, i dont understand how barry and finley are still spurs,
well beno shouldnt be in the team either since a long time ago

[Extra Stout]

Spurs need to mix up the lineup somehow. There are too many holes and too much dead wood. It is time for a trade.

[sprrs]

what does maggette do...rebound and hit free throws and you don't pull the trigger because you want to keep barry and udrih? WTF???

I doubt we could get Magette for Beno and Barry.

[mabber]

I thought the Mavs played like shit tonight but the Spurs played a really bad 2nd half. The Mav D in 2nd half wasn't nearly as good as it's been in recent games. They looked tired to me. They were very fortunate to win.

[Chip Dog]

You sure about that, new guy?

Wow, you insult to me is that I'm a "new guy"? I already know you're a douche for two reasons:

1. You like the Mavs
2. You like Dane Cook, who steals his jokes from Louis CK, Joe Rogan, and various other comics.

[hitmanyr2k]

I doubt we could get Magette for Beno and Barry.

Maybe a month ago when they were hot....after tonight's performance no way in hell :lol

[anonymous coward]

Spurs miss 10 FTs, Tim misses 7 of Spurs' 10, lose by 5 pts.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Apples and oranges. Kidd, Mash, Nash, and Finley never won 3 titles for us much less one. No MVPs between them either. Give me a break, Duncan is a different case.

[Chip Dog]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Apples and oranges. Kidd, Mash, Nash, and Finley never won 3 titles for us much less one. No MVPs between them either. Give me a break, Duncan is a different case.

Nash is a different case? Keep telling yourself that.

[beirmeistr]

Well, Popovich got outcoached one more time by Avery Johnson. Small ball exposes the Spurs' lack of athleticism when you compare their smalls to the Spurs' smalls.

[hitmanyr2k]

and oberto was 7-7fg 14pts 5rb 20mins :lol

Kind of makes you wonder why Oberto didn't get more playing time in the 2nd half. His energy and hustle could have been used when the Mavs killed the SPurs on the boards in the 3rd qtr. I've said for the longest time Popovich has no concept of riding hot players.

[dbreiden83080]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Apples and oranges. Kidd, Mash, Nash, and Finley never won 3 titles for us much less one. No MVPs between them either. Give me a break, Duncan is a different case.

You Mavs fans are on such a high about Dirk and killing Timmy, Dirk played great tonight as he always does against the Spurs. Timmy always plays great against you guys too, he just had a bad 2nd half tonight.

Pretty fun little title to throw around on other people, isn't it?

Grow the fuck up.

[SkunkinDuncan]

Good night, sweet prince.

[carina_gino20]

mavs deserved this one. they found a way to come back and all we could do is stare at them while they're at it. i still believe in this team but a trade really is a must (anyone outside of the big 4), no matter how much i love the guys.

[davemaniscool]

C'mon guys. The spurs have the same issue this year they had last year - someone who can matchup with Dirk at the small forward spot. The man shoots 10ft freethrows over guys who are 5-6 inches shorter than him. Tim gets double/tripled and still kills guys who are his height and weight.

Spurs will be fine. They need Elson back to defend Irk and some better coaching at the end of the game.

Dirk happens to be a good shooter who's 7ft. He's still overrated. Move him to the paint where guys his height play and he's not even a top ten player.

Dallas lost to a team in last years finals the spurs would've killed. Get rid of one bad play by Gino against Nirk and Spurs would have another trophy.

[Marcus Bryant]

Nah, Dirk's family had nothing to do with it. Honest.

[Chip Dog]

Check your History, Mashburn and Kidd were traded away before Cuban bought the team. Nash was not traded to Phoenix, he was a free agent and left for the money. Finley, he was cut and he is a SPUR doing a hell of a job.

[BigBinBigD]

Dirk happens to be a good shooter who's 7ft. He's still overrated. Move him to the paint where guys his height play and he's not even a top ten player.



Been amused by this thread all night long. Great game, Mavs squeeked it out at the end like they've been able to since Nellie left. But this comment has to be the stupidest thing I've read in a long time. WTF should he have to play in the paint? You guys have noone to guard him in or out of the paint.

I'm done with you. Trying to compare a stand-up comic to hellbent genocidal fiends isn't even in the same universe. Enjoy the loss, fuckstick. Come back when the peach fuzz on your balls grows out.

[boutons_]

Spurs scored 34 pts in the 2nd half.

They fuck around and play like shit, loaf, disinterested, detached, in so many games.

Then when need a full 48 minutes, they simply haven't practiced/experienced the focus, energy, and concentration for that long, so they can't keep it going.

24 minutes of great basketball and stats,
then 24 of crappy basketball and stats. 34 pts in 24 minutes.

I'm beginning to see how Tony does fade physically late in the game. He really wants to play, but just doesn't have the endurance. He loses that spring and bounce. I suppose that can be upgraded by endurance training, if the trainers address it in the off-season.

I wonder if Tim has the smarts and maturity to figure out how to keep his franchise's head above water as he decines? I'm not sure he sees big picture, the meta-game, and I wonder if Pop has the courage to confront Tim with the adjustments Tim has to make.

Another fantastic game from Manu wasted.

Dirk is a great player but he is overated for the reason that he is not versatile in other areas. You are wowed by his offense but he is still a mediocre defender and rebounder. At times his inability to draw double teams can hurt the Mavs as well.

[hero03msu]

That was a very entertaining 4th quarter, the 1st 3 quarters were a bore.

[LB7]

You Mavs fans are on such a high about Dirk and killing Timmy, Dirk played great tonight as he always does against the Spurs. Timmy always plays great against you guys too, he just had a bad 2nd half tonight.
Thats not even what I am talking about. My post was in response to Chip Dog saying our douche of an owner knows nothing about loyalty and thats why Timmy will forever be a Spur. He was comparing Tim to Nash, Mashburn, Fin, and Kidd. Give me a break. If you guys don't think more highly of a guy who helped you win 3 ships that you compare him to guys who never brought home any hardware, then you're not too smart. Nash would never have won us a ship...as you can see, he still hasn't with that style of play.

[MWILL]

If your depending on Elson to stop DIRK your a idiot!
The coach drew up a good play, and the Spurs didn't execute.

DIRK OVERRATED! Why don't ask Timmy D how many times Dirk blew by his ass. :downspin:

[Chip Dog]

Peach fuzz on my balls? Nice. Enjoy cheering for Nazi's and Diop, he also rules. Sorry for ripping into Dane Cook. Seeing him as your screen pic gave me a complete idea of what type of person you are...enjoy the ass sex!

Thanks. At least you seem to have some knowledge unlike these other guys.

[Chip Dog]

Thanks. At least you seem to have some knowledge unlike these other guys.

You're right. I'm clueless. Getting Jamison and Walker a few seasons ago was a genius move by Cuban. I concede to your NBA knowledge of team loyalty.

[LB7]

You're right. I'm clueless. Getting Jamison and Walker a few seasons ago was a genius move by Cuban. I concede to your NBA knowledge of team loyalty.
I'm confused. How does that have anything to do with team loyalty to a franchise player like Duncan? You're not making a point...at least not the original one you tried to make.

[LB7]

I guess, what you're saying, is loyalty to all players?? So, we never can trade or release anyone? Hmmm....I guess no owners are loyal then. If you're talking about franchise players, which I thought we were, we have one finally in Dirk...and I believe we will be keeping him around. He is the only franchise player I'd say we have had since Cuban became owner. So, what was your point again? Cuban got the extension done pretty quickly to keep him here.

[SpursWillOwn]

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who has made fun of San Antonio's River Walk in the past, donned a shirt early in Friday's game that read: "I went to the San Antonio River Walk and all I got was a rash." But later on he was sporting a different one.

Stupid or not, Dirk is still one of the most overrated players in league. One of the few times he went to the paint, Tim slapped his shit away. If Tim had players 6-7 guarding him he would score 50+. Spurs need to get Elson back to help against Irk and they'll be fine against Dallas.

Spurs shooting went cold in the second half just like the last few games.

Irk's never getting a ring and will always be rememberd as Noringsky.

You just wait...the second your lil Nazi gets a little older and slower, Cuban will be sending him to the crematorium/Knicks.

[Shank]

Chip Dog is a basketball genius. Didn't you know? Through all 11 of his posts I get the understanding that no one can match wits with the great Chip Dog. Oh, and Chippy, your Nazi shit has been reported to the mods. I know you're new and stuff, but there was plenty of that during the playoff run last year. You'll get yours.

Again, here's a reminder of what the Nazis did to other human beings.

http://isurvived.org/Pictures_iSurvived-3/holocaust-child.GIF

You can rip me for liking Dane Cook and the Mavs all you want. But what you DON'T do is run your fucking mouth and call someone a Nazi just because he/she is German. That's just ignorant.

Off to do some drinking. Wallow even deeper in the pity that is your team aging and being passed up for good.

[MWILL]

You can't get better with out making a few trades. If you look at other threads on this board, your fellow Spurs fans are wanting to gut the team.

Mavs have a great team and they are better than the Spurs are right now. I think Dirk can get at least 1 ring but will he get 3 like Timmy, i say no and i think Tim can get at least one more before he is done.

Oh, and Chippy, your Nazi shit has been reported to the mods. I know you're new and stuff, You'll get yours.


Jesus, Shank is super sensative. You should rename yourself "The Clit".

Spurs lost 3 in a row…PRETTY MUCH DONE FOR THE SEASON!!! (Spurs 85-90 Dallas - WHAT CAN YOU SAY???? Dallas played B2B Games and sneer at the Spurs again…They slept in the 1st half to comeback in the second and pick up the tempo to kill the Spurs…WE ARE DONE unless some miracle takes palce! PATHETIC! LOST!

First to start with Popovich: WHY PLAYING HORRY for so MANY minutes??? After Oberto went 7 of 7 in the first half, Popovich should’ve started him in the second, but he kept him on the bench and played Horry…BIG MISTAKE. Horry is finished with the NBA – the Spurs MUST release him – I said that so many times before – he is just disastrous…Same said about the “Goose Egg” – Finley – he is finished with the NBA as well…

Tim struggled also as he never lead the team in the 2nd half – just 2 pts, BIG STRUGGLE and missed so many FTs – he wasn’t even close to his Playoffs “magic” last year against the Mavs…He fumbled the ball in the most important part of the game, played with NO ENERGY (after 1 day rest vs. Dallas B2B game schedule???)…Tony got lost as well after picking up a foul trouble – he NEVER penetrated deep into the Mavs defense…weak game for him too…he is got a LOT TO LEARN still on how to beat the Mavs…

Bowen, Barry and Beno surprisingly played weak as well – the Spurs basically have NO BENCH right now – they get ZERO production – if you take Oberto’s points away today, you would find the bench to have less than 5 pts – PATHETIC…

Manu Ginobili is the only player right now (plus somewhat Tony Parker) who deserves credit as being a Spurs and fighting like a Spur…Tim Duncan was a huge disappointment again…

The Mavs are 1 Class above the Spurs currently as they played with less than 50% for 2 ½ quarters and still beat us…Had they picked it up (being fresh without playing B2B game schedule) they would’ve won by 20…

If the Spurs want to go to the BIG FINAL this year they have to win Game 7 in Dallas, something, I don't see how would happen with those players - we are pretty much DONE FELLOWS as I said earlier in the season ( WHY I DIDN'T LISTEN TO MYSELF NOT TO SPEND $179 FOR the NBA PASS???!!!)

In the past few years, Popovich dragged this team into the ground, slowly and surely…WITH NO VALUABLE TRADES, NO VALUABLE PICK UPS and draft picks in the last few years, the SPURS HAVE ZERO CHANCE TO WIN A TITLE…We are going to have a long summer this year – and the Spurs MUST GET RID OF THE FOLLOWING: Horry, Finley, Vaughn, Beno, Williams, etc. and acquire young and athletic players….THE SOLE BLAME FOR THE WHOLE DISASTER, WITHOUT A DOUBT, is Gregg POPOVICH, who didn’t acquire the right personnel this year, neither drafted anyone valuable in the last few years - the Spurs didn’t rebuild and found themselves in trouble this year – a result of a failed and ugly policy by an irresponsible coach and a manager, who forgot the basic rules in the NBA…too bad for Manu’s talent who doesn’t deserve this…

GO SPURS!!!

"Tim slapped his shit away."

Dirk did it to Tim in crunch time.
Another killer TO for Tim.
Seemed like a great defensive move by Dirk.
Since when can Dirk guard Tim?
Since Tim either fell of the cliff of competence, or quit playing with all his ability, what's left of it.

Dirk got 34 pts, and 8 RBs as perimeter player (in 2 more minutes).
Tm got 18 pts, and only 7 RBs as interior player.

[davemaniscool]

If your depending on Elson to stop DIRK your a idiot!
The coach drew up a good play, and the Spurs didn't execute.

DIRK OVERRATED! Why don't ask Timmy D how many times Dirk blew by his ass. :downspin:

No one said Elson would stop Dirk but his length will help. It would be nice to see Dirk try to defend Tim but he's too busy shooting freethrows over Tony Parker.

English is not your strong suit. Is it "Your a idiot" or "You're an idiot"?

Isn't there an age limit on this board?

[BigBinBigD]

Stupid or not, Dirk is still one of the most overrated players in league. One of the few times he went to the paint, Tim slapped his shit away. If Tim had players 6-7 guarding him he would score 50+. Spurs need to get Elson back to help against Irk and they'll be fine against Dallas.

Spurs shooting went cold in the second half just like the last few games.

Irk's never getting a ring and will always be rememberd as Noringsky.

Your stupidity is getting worse. Most of the other times he went to the paint, he scored a layup or MADE his throws. (Listening, Duncan?)

And why is it that 6-7 guys are guarding him? Cuz if your beloved TD guarded him he would light him up for about 50 every time.

AS far as rebounding, he's averaging over 10 boards a game save the couple of games he left in the first quarter. Not bad for a guy who doesn't play in the paint "where guys his size are supposed to play".

Defense? OK, he's mediocre...

[dg7md]

We need the real Mavs killer... Jason Richardson.

All who oppose, are not true fans! :ihit

Tim is playing 75-80% right now. He took half the shots Dirk did. Maybe he's got the Shaq disease right now...play half speed until the playoffs. He definitely needs to step it up.

What? Since when? That was the Spurs big calling card for the season "Tim is healthy". What happened?

And FYI, Dirk coming of the sinus infection and having a gimppy ankle mean anything to you?

Also, Duncan go way more touches than Dirk. Dirk just had the sack to take the shots and not pass them up.

[mavs>spurs2]

Lmao at "shaqs disease." Just take it like a man and quit making excuses. Everyone knew who was gonna win before this game even started. Be happy it was as close as it was.

[Deb]

Wow. Haven't been on this site much year, but have been a loyal Spurs fan on here through the years. But, it seems to have become the Dallas Mav's fan site. I saw it coming at the end of last season, but it has truly come to be now. So, being a true Spurs fan, I'll pop in here now and then to see if we have taken back the Alamo. Until then, GO SPURS GO

50 against Tim, now that's stupidity x 2. Dirk's an elbow shooter, shooting over pg and shooting guards and can't defend. Overrated. Getting 36 against Oberto and TP is what saved dallas tonight.

Not Dirk's fault your dumbass coach had those two guarding Dirk. Put Timmy on Dirk and he still scores 36 and fouls Duncan out of the game. There is a reason Duncan doesn't guard Nowitzki, he can't. If he did he would just get into foul trouble and hurt the team even worse.

Never said Tim wasn't healthy. Dirk having a sack is a joke. It's much easier to double/triple Tim in the paint than Dirk away from the basket. Duncan did what he was supposed to do when that happens...pass the ball to a shooter which in the 2nd half tonight was a bunch of cold shooters.

Dream on. You must be all of 12 years old or something.

[mavs>spurs2]

Give me a good reason why Duncan doesn't EVER guard Dirk when these 2 teams play. If it's not fear of foul trouble, then what is it?

Why didn't Duncan man and and try to check him then? B/C he can't.

naah. Tim's too smart of a defender for that to happen.

Because he plays near the basket.

[mavs>spurs2]

Because he plays near the basket.

But someone earlier said that Duncan can guard him. If the spurs have this magical Dirk stopper then why don't they use him?

[davemaniscool]

You're a retard

spoken like a dumb ass.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

??? The Mavericks won the series last year off a fluke bonehead foul. Every game has been close. What makes you think the gap isn't close? Because of a game in January? Are you an idiot?

Hey dipshit go worry about your own fucking team that needs an inside game and a guy who can demand double teams. :rolleyes :rolleyes

[Kori Ellis]

Okay this game blog has just turned into a stupid bitch fest. So it's over.
