Look at your own people at this board, they are all saying the same things I am.

[RC's Boss]

why are you being a dickhead? i like fans of other teams to go to the mavs' boards but not to talk shit after a loss, that's puerile and pathetic and just gives mavs fans a bad name, grow the fuck up

[Amare_32]

The question isn't whether or not Manu will get suspended. The real question is for how many games?!

I don't think it merits a suspension but you know the Lakers will likely raise a stink if he is not. The NBA should just rescind the technical on Amare and call it a day.

[Louie Vega]

Manu is the fucken man!

[mavsfan1000]

The mavs were able to beat San Antonio on the road on a back to back. Why not the spurs beating the suns? The spurs are just not elite anymore. Age is finally catching up to them.

[Pugglekicker_21]

Oberto/Elson/Bowen/Horry/Udrich/Finley/Vaughn tonight = 5 pts

Game over.


you've got to be fucking kidding me. damn :pctoss

Don't count them out. They may not be what they were but they won't be a pushover by any means in a playoff series. Neither the Mavs or Suns want to see the Spurs in the 1st round. Thats why homecourt and getting the best record in the West is very important.

[infinite styles]

eh, i don't know about that...they played spurs pace until end of the third, fourth quarter when spurs starting running like mad and shooting too many 3s, sloppy turnovers, etc. my bf and i started screaming at the tv (heh!) because we were just talking about how the spurs don't fall into the running game trap like so many teams and then all of a sudden they didn't take time...this is when the wheels fell off for the spurs, when they didn't play their pace


I've felt this way for the past few weeks. Other than Tony and Manu the Spurs don't have a wing that can slash and create an inside shot. This was the same problem they had when the Lakers owned them during their championship runs. When your spot up shooters aren't hitting then its curtains. The Suns a nice three ball game but their shooters can also go to the basket off the dribble which makes them deadlier when the three isn't falling, and thats why they are successful this year because they are taking more advantage of that. I believe the Spurs need to make a trade but right now it would be out of desparation and I don't think that this would create a good situation because I think its gonna take more than just one guy.

[Pugglekicker_21]

If anyone was kidding himself/herself before this game that the Spurs would have a slight chance to win it, he/she must’ve been delusional: I said before the game, we would lose by 20+, but MY MANU saved this great embarrassment, we lost ONLY by 16 points this time…I call this team all season long “Pop’s OLD DONKEYS”…The only bad prediction today was for “the high scoring game” – we all forgot the Spurs played last night, thus they weren’t capable of scoring 100 pts…Terrible second half with 17 pts each, showing the SPURS ARE DAMN OLD – Trust me fellows, the Spurs gave 100% in this game and still lost by 16 points – they were able to play only 1 half…This clearly shows how OLD THEY ARE...If this was the team from 2-3 years ago, the Spurs would’ve won both games – at Utah and tonight against the Suns (both teams are nothing special anyway!), but unfortunately today’s LOSS confirms once again without a doubt that the Spurs don’t have a complete and competitive roster to win a title this year – besides the BIG 3 and Barry, the rest of it is just a GARBAGE that needs to be released immediately after the season – I don’t want to go back and point the useless presence in the court of Oberto and Elson (both of them were discussed enough last night), but Finley was the “hero” again, proving that “miracles” in basketball do happen by hitting that winning “sparking” 3 vs. the LA – today, he was back to his regular old form – 22 min., 3 pts and 1-4 shooting - just miserable, proving his latest shining was a fluke; needless to say Beno and Vaughn are finished (!!!) – both of them combined with 0-4 from the floor and 1 TO – Bruce Bowen lost it as well (he is TOO OLD, couldn’t get a single 3, as he was 0-4 from the floor !!!) – I doubt things will get better…This is the worse team the Spurs have had during the Tim Duncan’s era – I say that because we really have only 4 players (plus somewhat Horry), who can produce something for us – with that, we will be lucky to pass the 1 st round in the Playoffs this year – as I said many times here, the season is OVER!!! The NBA elite is too much ahead of the Spurs – for the Spurs to win games, all 3 players (Manu, Tony and Tim) have to play 100% and score over 25 pts each IN EVERY GAME, something impossible to achieve – for example, Tim was tired of playing defense 2 games in a row (after a rough night at Utah) and couldn’t score in the 4th today (2 points only) becauseu there is nobody to help him at the center - Oberto and Elson are useless, Horry is old… This whole team is a disgrace(!), the management and the coaching staff as well by doing NOTHING in the summer to improve this roster to compete – I guess 3 titles are enough and now we are saving Holt’s money for later - this is what we did during the summer…WHY NOT??? The fans have the BIG POCKETS, let them fool themselves and carry the burden of anger…I feel sorry for our stars – Manu, Timmy and Tony (plus Barry) – those guys deserve better (NOT play with the GARBAGE around them)…SA Fans pack your bags and start thinking for the next season – it is about time to scream at Holt, Pop and the management to start spending some real $$$ to create a competitive NBA squad, if they want to win another NBA title... :ihit :ihit :ihit :ihit :ihit :ihit

GO SPURS!!!
Beno is finished


you've put all of our frustration into a what i think is a good post :clap

Your empire is crumbling

The only thing crumbling is the quality of new members on Spurstalk. Why does it seem like everyday there's a new "MFFL" who signs up and starts some lame ass "I hate the Spurs...The Spurs suck...The Spurs are history...blah blah blah" thread? The fucking bandwaggon is out of control.

Not to mention the suns went to the line 30 times to the Spurs 16! And look when the majority of those calls were made! Momentum changing calls! People need to open their fucken eyes! And fuck you mavsbitch1000 you have the biggest bitch in the NBA playing for your sorry mavs! The refs love to babysit his ugly ass!

LMAO! You are so right! So obvious the BS foul calls one-sided in favor the fucking Suns! Mavs1000 you can go to hell and take your Frankenstein Robot Nowitzki, Geico Caveman Stackhouse, Thousand Teeth Howard and Thug Cheap Shot Terry and rest of that ugly ass jackasses with you! These are most whiny-assed crybabies who get bailed by refs all of the time but as usual choked in the Finals!

I agree - that was a lame comment he made. Spurs probably fell victim to the pace and B2B and the Suns didn't end the game like they started it - i.e. 1 for 11.

thanks kori! :worthy:

[RonMexico]

Pop gives Suns props. In response to the question about the doubters of Phoenix's fast-paced style, Pop responded:

"I think it's bull (expletive)," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "Good basketball teams are good basketball teams. They are playing better defense now than they've ever before. Offensively, they're more dangerous than they've ever been and tougher to guard than they've ever been. The record they have and the way they've been playing, I honestly don't think it's fool's gold."

These game threads brighten my day :clap

Love it!!! :downspin:


<---- has decided who's winning this game, I fear.


Oh my god thats such a horrible fucking call. Nash threw a block on Manu. It was a reat block that gave Barbosa the extra time in the pocket. If I didn't know any better I'd say Nash played some RB in HS and learned to pick up the blitz.

THIS ISN'T FUCKING FOOTBALL.


Worst call I have ever seen


Bavetta is a old ass bitch


Wow, thats absolutely one of the worst calls I've ever seen. I thought it was for sure going to wipe off the shot. When I saw the motion to count the shot I was absolutely amazed. Thats a possible 6 point swing with 2 minutes to go.


fucken bavetta i hope he gets his ass beat down by charles, that old mo fo


Nash just traveled big time


:lmao :lmao Nash just fucking traveled. Give me a break.


This game is over, but Barbosa just got away with a charge. Thanks Bavetta.


what about the blocking foul of nash on manu! It should have been an offensive foul and not 3 pt for barbosa!


You can call a travel on Tony but not Nash????


2 bad calls in 2 nights (okur flopping), that's fucked up!


Im so fucking pissed right now, two games in a row where the refs decided the outcome. I actually want to fight Amare Stoudamire right now


don't even get me started on the fouls called against the spurs and the no-calls against phoenix. my God. UGH!


YOU KNOW WHAT, THE REFS DID FUCK THEM! RIGHT UP THE ASS AND THEN STUCK IT IN THEIR MOUTHS! THEY DID THE SAME SHIT LAST GAME WHEN OKUR STARTED SPAZZING OUT! PROPS TO SPURS FOR STICKING IN THERE OF COARSE...BUT WE DIDN'T GET THE "W" SO THAT SUCKS. I'M SOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING PISSED OFF AT HOW THE GAME IS CALLED NOW A DAYS. THE REFS, EXSPECIALLY BEVETA, JUST GO ALONG WITH THE CROWD TO TAKE THE ATTENTION OFF THE PLAYERS AND GET SOME ON THEM! FUCK HIS OLD ASS!


Fuck the Suns! Whiny ass bastard Stoudemire crying like a bitch and acting like an idiot! Horrible officiating and as usual the refs screwed the Spurs out of a win! Nash traveling all over the place and Stoudemire shoving his way inside should've been a offensive foul! I can accept the Spurs losing if the fucking refs don't interfere, but come on for goodness sake! Spurs playing against 8 again! Crooked bastards! :cuss


This shit is getting out of hand! The refs are just getting worse and worse! And anyone who thinks I complain about refs should read all my posts and then come at me! I never complain about refs but after last years series with the mavs I am stating to see the light! And the past couple of games have proven my point!

People had trouble with me creating a thread dedicated to the conversation...so ive decided to just point out how stupid bringing it up over and over again truly is.

Seriously...whats so big about some STUPID pushups?

[RonMexico]

The refs were terrible on both sides of the floor. The inconsistency was apparent. Duncan got away with 2 travels where he switched his pivot foot. Nash and Banks each got away with blatant carrying violations. Nash got away with a block when he was in the circle early in the game. They called a foul against Tony when he was on the ground. They called a foul on Nash when Marion was the one who swiped across Duncan's arm. They missed 3 over-the-backs on Duncan/Oberto. The Nash "block" on the Barbosa 3 was a no-call (Ginobili's antics made it look worse than it is - trust me, I've watched it 30 times). The 3 second call on Duncan/Elson when they were bobbling it was suspect, as well. Just not a good game all around - I doubt they even expected the playoff intensity in the arena.

[RonMexico]

Anyone notice that the Spurs won by 6 in November in OT? Well, they lost by 16 this game. That 22 point difference? 11-for-11 by Oberto in November. I knew that had to be a fluke back then...

So instead of just pointing out how stupid it is, you decide to act like a douchebag.

Half of those shots were layups under the basket.

[RonMexico]

Half of those shots were layups under the basket.

It's still a great performance and I know that he missed at least 2 layups in yesterday's game. That means the other half were hookshots and he hit a minimum of 3 FT line jumpers in November... it's still 22 pts from a guy that scored none yesterday.

And a lot of them came off offensive rebounds in Nov. but with Amare's 23 boards, there weren't that many to come by this time around.
