Spurs @ Mavs - Nov. 15 Game Blog

[ace3g]

Bonner For 3!!!

[easjer]

Bonner is playing well. Nice.

[peskypesky]

Bonner!!!!!

[Leetonidas]

Bonner is owning haha

[FromWayDowntown]

Great look from Manu and nice conversion by Bonner.

[timvp]

It's Bonner time. :smokin

[Soul_Patch]

Matt Bonner!!! saving us...

[SpursFanFirst]

Go Bonner!

[sprrs]

Bonner!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

the second unit is putting the first unit to shame. Bonner will be our Mav killer.

[FromWayDowntown]

Manu's pass was the definition of creating a shot for a teammate.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 3333333333333333333

That's genius! I guess Timmy's nothing but an over rated Dampier...

Want to talk about your equally genius and smart Amare???

[ChumpDumper]

Bonner is here to save us.

[SpursFanFirst]

Bonner's the spark we needed!

[Jason_Terry]

Come On! Don't get let a fucking ginger kid beat ya'll.

[Russ]

Two things:

Dallas does a better job of neutralizing Parker than anyone else.

Dallas also does a better job of tipping out rebounds and then getting loose balls than anyone else.

[Spurologist]

Did I just see Bonner finish at the rim?

It would be nice if he could have THROWN IT DOWN over Dampier

[FromWayDowntown]

Hmmm, Mavs +7 in FTA at home? Imagine that . . . .

[SpursFanFirst]

Come On! Don't get let a fucking ginger kid beat ya'll.

Hey now!

[peskypesky]

Bench getting it done.

[Russ]

Mnau goes Duncan off the glass.

[timvp]

Ginobili with a Dwyane Wade move.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu is getting whatever shot he wants.

[RonMexico]

Dallas also does a better job of tipping out rebounds and then getting loose balls than anyone else.

I think that's called "going over the back" or Diop's signature play.

[Leetonidas]

Nice run to start the quarter.

[DannyT]

toot toot....

[Tippecanoe]

someone forgot to tell manu and bonner the spurs are suppose to tank today

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuu

[Spurologist]

Deadly.

Manu on the right side drives @ the rim and pulls up to hit a nice shot off the glass.

TO mavs

35-27 mavs

[sprrs]

I always wonder if Manu intends to knock those down off the glass...

[easjer]

Well, that looked a lot better, but they have got a ways to go. Parker and Ginobili have been effectively shut out and reduced to outside shots, and that's never reliable. I'm not clear why we didn't go through Tim more, unless it was just that he wasn't working it down low.

[RonMexico]

Hmmm, Mavs +7 in FTA at home? Imagine that . . . .

OMG... I can't believe you said that!!! Where is dirk4mvp to call you a "fucking homo" for pointing out the fouls and FT disparity?

AHHHHH, speaking the truth.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Man Manu is saving the night - the crowd is starting to feel confused.

[Dex]

Spurs should expect the tip if officiating.

It ain't pretty, but complaining about it isn't going to tip the favor of the game.

They need to start making easy opportunities and quit making mistakes if they want to make this a ballgame.

[peskypesky]

I was thinking in the first that the starters were sucking, so why not put the bench in? And lo and behold.....

[Findog]

Is Ginobili on steroids? This is as good as I've ever seen him.

[MI21]

I think it's clear that Bonner is the long 3 the Spurs have needed for a long time against the Mavericks.

:)

[dirk4mvp]

I think that's called "going over the back" or Diop's signature play.


fucking homo.

[StoneBuddha]

Spurs are working their way back into the game. Pace is slowing down and isn't as frentic... I guess it helps when we aren't handing the ball over to the Mavs.

[Darkwaters]

Does Ginobili has a shin splint on his left shin? Hes wearing a compression sock on it.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Well, that looked a lot better, but they have got a ways to go. Parker and Ginobili have been effectively shut out and reduced to outside shots, and that's never reliable. I'm not clear why we didn't go through Tim more, unless it was just that he wasn't working it down low.
I agree on the first quarter, but on the last couple possessions Manu's been penetrating to the rim with ease I noticed. So hopefully Parker will get it going eventually.

[mavsfan1000]

Alright time to get Harris and Dirk back in the game.

[boutons_]

Steady as she goes, if we can get under -10 by the half, all will be cool.

[FromWayDowntown]

OMG... I can't believe you said that!!! Where is dirk4mvp to call you a "fucking homo" for pointing out the fouls and FT disparity?

AHHHHH, speaking the truth.

I don't think it accounts for the difference in the game to this point. It was more of an observation.

[Steve Perry]

I love these topics you see fans go from drinking the grape kool-aid and offing themselves to gassing up the river boats and naming their first born Manu all in 4 pages or less :lmao

[Leetonidas]

Is Ginobili on steroids? This is as good as I've ever seen him.
Him sitting out the summer has really helped him out. He's playing out of his mind.

why do you think that he hates play C?, cause if so, he cant take advantage of his size

[Spurologist]

Dallas has a nice set of division championship banners

[peskypesky]

Why Fin Why?

[Jason_Terry]

Mavs will be fine if Finley keeps shooting the ball.

[Darkwaters]

Box your man out!!!!

[timvp]

If the Mavs could hit an open shot they'd be up 20.

[ChumpDumper]

why do you think that he hates play C, cause if so, he cant take advantage of his size:lol

Please tell me what the difference is between center and power forward in the Spurs system.

[peskypesky]

Dallas is cooling off. :)

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Did that stupid woman just have a sign about the Spurs THREE championships?

Somebody should find her and slap her with her poster board.

[FromWayDowntown]

The offensive interference call is all fine and dandy, but 3 Mavs had superior rebounding position, which is a huge problem for the Spurs.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP is back

[timvp]

Manu and Bonner supplying energy.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice job Manu

[peewee's lovechild]

Is Ginobili on steroids? This is as good as I've ever seen him.

As long as he keeps from turning the ball over.

[RonMexico]

fucking homo.

You just hate the truth don't you?

I'm already compiling a video to send to both the league office and play over the Houston jumbotron... a la Cuban

[Spurs Brazil]

TD is back

[thewatcher]

:lol

Please tell me what the difference is between center and power forward in the Spurs system.

duncan is overrated :p:

[easjer]

Ugh. I hate watching the Spurs play the Mavs.

[peskypesky]

Where's Mahinmi???? We need a shot-blocker in there.

[peewee's lovechild]

God damn the fouls!!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Noooo...dallas pulling away already right when Manu sat down!

[Russ]

Jacque Vaughn is in. I think Washington could be very effective against the Mavs.

[ChumpDumper]

duncan is overrated :p:That's not an answer.

Please tell me what the difference is between center and power forward in the Spurs system.

[dirk4mvp]

You just hate the truth don't you?

No, I just think you're a fucking homo the way you're in this thread trying to find every way you can to kiss spur fan ass.

[td4mvp21]

Ok, these fouls are getting fucking ridiculous.

[peewee's lovechild]

Tim mishandling the ball.

We're having ball trouble today.

[ChumpDumper]

Jacque Vaughn is in. I think Washington could be very effective against the Mavs.Vaughn is not the reason we're losing.

[easjer]

Goddamnit. Is Tim Duncan incapable of holding onto the fucking ball?

Get the damn starters out of they are only going to suck.

[01Snake]

Whats up with the fucking fouls!

[peewee's lovechild]

Ok, these fouls are getting fucking ridiculous.

True that.

[timvp]

Udoka coming in. Let's see what eh can do.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Mannn Duncan couldn't even hold onto the ball :depressed

[SpurOutofTownFan]

My GOD! I was afraid of this.. our 1st unit looks like our C team right now - they need to put the bench back.

[Tippecanoe]

udoka!!

[Udrihlooms]

duncan is overrated :p:

ok i'll forgive you just because of that :P :)

[hitmanyr2k]

With Ginobili out the lead will be up to 20 by halftime.

[Darkwaters]

Ime...lets see what he can do.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu to the bench = Mavs run

Ime in

[SpursFanFirst]

Goddamnit. Is Tim Duncan incapable of holding onto the fucking ball?

Get the damn starters out of they are only going to suck.

:tu

[Spurologist]

Pop has released the NIGERIAN

[peewee's lovechild]

13 points, god dammit.

[Leetonidas]

Another call in favor of the Mavs. :rolleyes

[peewee's lovechild]

Bonner with 3 fouls.

[easjer]

FUCK me. Is there a reason Tim won't go to the basket? I'm not being sarcastic -- is thre something I'm missing?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Noooo... the spurs are fucking up Manu's efforts to bring us back before the half!

Bonner is no Horry

[td4mvp21]

Wow, we're already over the limit.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mavs with 16FTA

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I couldn't have been the only one to see that sign, could I?

[Dex]

Dallas in the penalty again already.

Surprise surprise.

[RonMexico]

No, I just think you're a fucking homo the way you're in this thread trying to find every way you can to kiss spur fan ass.

Believe it or not, I hate the Mavs and their joke "stars" more.

I kiss the ass of the team that is losing... right?

[Russ]

Vaughn is not the reason we're losing.
Correct sir.:)

[timvp]

Mario Eelee?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Oberto needs to take on Dirk more

[RonMexico]

Dallas in the penalty again already.

Surprise surprise.

Where is dirk4mvp to keep you in line?

[Darkwaters]

Finally a call against Dork.

[dougp]

Ref's are gargling Cubans' balls ... seriously fuckin ridiculous. Spurs can't get an over the back called, but OH NOES I raised my arm up barely over Noshotski and it's a foul.

[Tippecanoe]

lead back to 15

these spurs look terrible

[ChumpDumper]

Dallas in the penalty again already.

Surprise surprise.No surprise. They are much more aggressive.

Spurs think reaching = defense tonight.

[hitmanyr2k]

Relying on Oberto to put it on the floor for two straight possessions? What a dumb play call lol.

[Leetonidas]

This is fucking pathetic.

Free throw fest for the Mavericks.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Okay, these ticky tack fouls are getting ridiculous...

[td4mvp21]

Now it's going to be 19-5.

[Darkwaters]

This is ridiculous. Dallas is getting every bullshit call.

[dirk4mvp]

Where is dirk4mvp to keep you in line?


I'm trying by best but I see so many comments bitching about the refs in this thread, it's hard to keep up.

[RonMexico]

Ref's are gargling Cubans' balls ... seriously fuckin ridiculous. Spurs can't get an over the back called, but OH NOES I raised my arm up barely over Noshotski and it's a foul.


Fucking homo

[Findog]

Him sitting out the summer has really helped him out. He's playing out of his mind.

I love how the Spurs run their offense through him when Timmy is out. There's so much he brings to your team that has nothing to do with X's and O's.

[easjer]

I'm not in favor of some of the no-calls I've seen, but the Spurs D is shit.

[dirk4mvp]

Thank you, RonMexico, for helping me out.

[Spurs Brazil]

We're down 8 when Manu sit, now he's back and down 17

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

wow they didn't score one point with Manu on the bench...

[lefty]

I was expecting Dallas to have a big lead; it's just a regular season game.

Mavs have something to prove and we don't.

Relax people, you should know that November doesn't matter that much to the Spurs

[timvp]

:lol It still amazes me that Mav Fan complains about Dwyane Wade going to the line when all the Mavs do against the Spurs is live at the line.

[Dex]

Fuck this. There have been fouls called on like 8 of the 10 last possessions.

I don't care which way they're going at that point, the refs need to let the players play the goddamn game.

[Spurologist]

Spurs run is coming

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

BTW, for some Dallas fans, here's another live blog going on (I only pimp because it's my friend's).

http://startelegram.typepad.com/mavs_fullcourt_press/

[Findog]

:lol It still amazes me that Mav Fan complains about Dwyane Wade going to the line when all the Mavs do against the Spurs is live at the line.

Bennett Salvatore didn't beat us, Wade and our damn inexperience did us in.

[Tippecanoe]

hey spurs fans, i realize its only nov, but at what point do you start worrying about duncan??

[Russ]

The Spurs match up poorly with Dallas. This will give Pop something to work on until the games mean something.

[Jason_Terry]

The Dallas crowd is really pissing me off. At the very least, they could fucking stand up! You are winning by 15 at the moment!

[Manu20]

Mavs 19 FTA

Spurs 5 FTA

:pctoss

[LaMarcus Bryant]

This game is incredibly boring. Incredibly. I love it when the refs decide to call fouls twice a possession and make the game pointless to watch from tv.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I was expecting Dallas to have a big lead; it's just a regular season game.

Mavs have something to prove and we don't.

Relax people, you should know that November doesn't matter that much to the Spurs
I still want to see a battle though. Not a referee induced snooze fest.

[milkyway21]

:wtf ???

Mavrecks 19 FTA
Spurs 5?

:lmao

[td4mvp21]

I think we need to be driving more, but it seems like one of those games where even if we do drive, we won't get the calls.

[Findog]

The Dallas crowd is really pissing me off. At the very least, they could fucking stand up! You are winning by 15 at the moment!


Cocaine and boob job crowd. See the green out thread in the NBA forum.

[timvp]

Live by the free throw. Die by the free throw.

[Russ]

hey spurs fans, i realize its only nov, but at what point do you start worrying about duncan??
When a time machine gives him to the Celtics in the lottery. :)

[easjer]

hey spurs fans, i realize its only nov, but at what point do you start worrying about duncan??

For me personally? February.

He hasn't looked as sucky as the other night.

[timvp]

A postup for Udoka called out of a timeout/!?!?!?!?!

[Amarelooms]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Spurs homers whinning more than Duncan and Flopnobli. The Mavs are playing better....more aggressive...course you gonna get the calls.

[hitmanyr2k]

WTF @ this play calling. You're down 17...go to your top guys.

[easjer]

Damn this game is dragging. And sucking.

[peskypesky]

The Spurs match up poorly with Dallas. This will give Pop something to work on until the games mean something.

Our bench doesn't.

[timvp]

Cut the lead to 10 by half.

Let's do this :hungry:

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Ok that last FOUL??? was a foul??

[td4mvp21]

See what I mean? Gino got hacked, luckily Duncan got the rebound and putback.

[Russ]

The Dallas crowd is really pissing me off. At the very least, they could fucking stand up! You are winning by 15 at the moment!
Don't fault them -- they've been Mavs fans too long and they've seen too many "moments."

[timvp]

HTF are you going to call that foul on Oberto :lmao

[peskypesky]

Put The Bench In!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goddamnit!!!!!

[Soul_Patch]

21 FTA for mavs....lol...still 5 min left in the half...lol....

[angel_luv]

The Spurs have until half time to impress me. If they don't, then it is good night and good luck.

[easjer]

They clearly can play when they are determined to. So I have to assume that they don't want to.

And yeah, that FT disparity is fucking ridiculous. Whatever you blame it on.

[Leetonidas]

These fouls are fucking ridiculous. How many free throws has Dallas shot now??

[peskypesky]

This game is over.

[Soul_Patch]

wow...we kind of look like a fuckin rec league team...trying out for the nba...

[Udrihlooms]

I don't think it's the refs really. Half of the team is sleepwalking.

[Amare_32]

I really hope these 2 teams beat the crap out of each other in the playoffs.

[milkyway21]

we're down but I'm glad Duncan is making his FTs/FGs or he'll have to accept the wrath of the Spurs fans later if they lose :lol

[angel_luv]

How would Reggie Miller know about the significance of trying to repeat a championship?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol Harris doesn't think Ginobili got fouled on that shot?

[Soul_Patch]

lol they sandwich gino and wonder why thats a foul?

[easjer]

Well, I expected a loss tonight and I think a loss tonight is good for them, and will give them something concrete to work on.

Also, Reggie Miller is a fucking moron, but no news there really.

[peskypesky]

No blaming this one on the refs. Parker invisible. Finley invisible. Bowen invisible. Oberto invisible. Only Manu, Duncan and Bonner showed up,

[dirk4mvp]

hey a nice act job by Ginobili...I'm guessing none of you will whine and bitch about that :drink

[Shaolin-Style]

"OMG he flopped. You freaking refs, you're robbing us of our innocence!"

[Findog]

This game is over.

It's us, the Mavericks. We have a big lead. This game is FAR from over.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

man, I'm always scared when Reggie Miller gets assigned to one of the spurs games. He is like a crow waiting for the spurs to fail. Can somebody shut this guy up?

[Amarelooms]

Flopnobli pushes his way to a foul?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

hey a nice act job by Ginobili...I'm guessing none of you will whine and bitch about that :drink
Act job? What game were you watching? it was practically a threesome.

[boutons_]

Spurs FG 33% vs 52%, no chance in hell.

Lucky to get 40 pts by half-time.

[Que Gee]

The Spurs are an abomination without Barry. Uterly pathetic, a travesty.

[Slydragon]

I blame the Spurs crappy play on this thread starter, I hope he is Happy.

http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81366

[Amare_32]

Flopnobli pushes his way to a foul?


Manu a flopper! What ever gave you that idea?

[ChumpDumper]

Flopnobli pushes his way to a foul?mavfan whining about a foul in this game??????

[Amarelooms]

Act job? What game were you watching? it was practically a threesome.

Defensive player has the right to his position..learn the game lol :elephant

[Spurologist]

Nothing is going right for the spurs

1. Tp has found some open shooters but have been misses
2. FT attempts disparity is mind boggling 21-7
3. POP looks distinterested
4. FIN can't make a shot
5. Turnovers galore for the spurs (9)
6. TP 1-7 TD 3-8 (spurs shooting 33%) Dallas shooting 52%
7. -2 in rebounds -6 in assists

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol Reggie STILL carping on our Championship achievements??

[Cherry]

hey a nice act job by Ginobili...I'm guessing none of you will whine and bitch about that :drink

Live with that :downspin:

[MI21]

I can't see this game, but I can easily picture what is going on.

Spurs have a few of these games each season where they look like they are old, don't care and can't be fucked playing... It's like clockwork, every season.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Nice hustle play by Manu

[Leetonidas]

A FOUL ON DIRK?!??!!? :wow

[timvp]

Dirk trying to go retro and injure Ginobili? :nope

[Soul_Patch]

FORTY ONE TAKES HIM OUT!!

Haha...love it.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Flopnobli pushes his way to a foul?are you fucking kidding me?? are you blind??

[td4mvp21]

Finally A Foul Call In Our Favor!!!

[timvp]

Holy crap the Spurs in the penalty at Dallas? This has to be the first time in years.

[Spurs Brazil]

2nd on dirk

[ChumpDumper]

:lmao at the courtside bitch who only draped her free green shirt over her outfit.

[Russ]

Manu is so clever!

[hitmanyr2k]

Wow...no one within 5 feet of Dirk on that shot.

[easjer]

God, the D needs work.

[Jason_Terry]

Stackhouse for 3!

[peskypesky]

Manu needs to do a Kobe. Just hog the ball and get us bak into this game. Everyone else should just set picks and rebound.

[Udrihlooms]

IT's not the call or the refs! It's the 33.3% FG %. Darn!

[dirk4mvp]

O yes! Damp with the nasty!

[LaMarcus Bryant]

A postup for Udoka called out of a timeout/!?!?!?!?!

thats exactly what we needed in that situation

popz a genious

[SpursFanFirst]

Spurs just look lost on defense. this is awful. I could be watching Grey's Anatomy right now.

[Soul_Patch]

The Mavs are playing fucking lights out...i mean like this is for the ring...and we are playing like this is a fucking preseason game..


its gross.

[Jason_Terry]

Eric Dampier with a dunk :lol

[Russ]

Let this game be a microcosym of a Mav season -- out big early then collapse at the end when it matters.

[hitmanyr2k]

Christ...it was clear as day Dampier hit that out of bounds :lol

[sprrs]

How was that not out on Dampier?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

These calls are one sided... Oh well.

[Soul_Patch]

I dont think 10 seconds can go by without the mavs hitting the FT line.

[Amare_32]

The ref should have given Duncan a technical for that.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs defense disintegrated... typical Championship contentment

[lefty]

I still want to see a battle though. Not a referee induced snooze fest.

Good point

[Findog]

:lmao at the courtside bitch who only draped her free green shirt over her outfit.

Yeah, that's Gina Miller, she works the local tv broadcasts.

[peskypesky]

Why the fuck is Parker in the game? Let Manu be PG. Parker has nothing tonight.

[easjer]

The hell with this. Sorry, folks, you will be deprived of my company for the remainder of this fine evening. I'm going to go upstairs, put on some headphones and ocean sounds or some shit and read.

No sense in watching the rest. I'll be sorry if they make one hell of a comeback, but I'll live. I'm getting upset watching this travesty and listening to Reggie Miller blather on.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Well 60 points first half - nice

15 assists for dallas, 7 for SA
8 TO SA 2 DA

3 players against 12 - pretty nice

[Que Gee]

Spurs just look lost on defense. this is awful. I could be watching Grey's Anatomy right now.
:lol

[td4mvp21]

Fuck that half. 21 free throws at the half for Dallas. Bull fucking shit.

[lefty]

The Mavs are playing fucking lights out...i mean like this is for the ring...and we are playing like this is a fucking preseason game..


its gross.

And that's a good thing; really. Mavs are unleashing all their strategies and tactics, while we're flying under the radar.

Don't worry, guys.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu needs to do a Kobe. Just hog the ball and get us bak into this game. Everyone else should just set picks and rebound.
I think they should make the team commit to D, and let Manu do the rest.

[MI21]

Check out the Assist:Turnover ratio's for each team...

[LaMarcus Bryant]

I think I'm gonna download some porn and jack off

no use watching this shit, we know that


free throw contests = boring and 75% losing probability

[angel_luv]

All right. I still say Spurs win this.

However, as I am still trying to fight off a nasty cold and have worked doubles all week, so I will probably not see much more of this game.

So Go Spurs Go. I am going to sleep sweet and wake up to an amazing comeback win!
:cheer

[Udrihlooms]

We sure need Udrih right now! TP is 1/7 :D TP+cash+Pop for Udrih

[Nashfan]

These calls are one sided... Oh well.


Whine, whine, whine :cry

[peskypesky]

Line-up should be:
Manu
Bowen
Bonner
Duncan
Elson

[Jason_Terry]

The Mavs just need to imagine they're playing San Antonio every game and they'll be fine.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

i think the Spurs could get back in if they really wanted to, Tim only woke up for the 2nd quarter.

[easjer]

Oh, gotta add that we had SO better fucking win over the Rockets tomorrow, or I will start getting concerned about the Spurs. Even if it is November, because they can't play like shit against good teams all the time.

Also, if I never hear about a team 'making a statement' again, that'd be fanfuckingtastic.

I'm sorry - games are win lose. There is rarely a statement to be made beyond that. Particularly when it's so clear that one team is playing like shit. Maybe you make a statement if they play really well and you slaughter them - but it's hardly a statement when you play like shit and I don't. Or at least the statemen isn't "We dominate you" so much as it is "You played like shit and we took advantage."

[Manu20]

Check out the Assist:Turnover ratio's for each team...

:pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

[peskypesky]

I guess a positive from this game so far is that Tim is playing well


Not with all those turnovers he's not.

[Russ]

Well, this establishes the Mavs' place on the radar -- the Spurs are looking ahead to Houston. :lol

[coachmac87]

dallas justs wants this game more...they are being aggressive..but we will see what happends the 2nd half..and its because vaughn is back

[SpursFanFirst]

All right. I still say Spurs win this.

However, as I am still trying to fight off a nasty cold and have worked doubles all week, so I will probably not see much more of this game.

So Go Spurs Go. I am going to sleep sweet and wake up to an amazing comeback win!
:cheer

Feel better, Angel

[boutons_]

Tony's invisible, 5 AST, 2 RB, 2 pts.

Mavs want it a lot more than the Spurs.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Whine, whine, whine :cry
The irony.

[Spawn]

And that's a good thing; really. Mavs are unleashing all their strategies and tactics, while we're flying under the radar.

Don't worry, guys.

What strategy are they unleashing?

[san antonio spurs]

it's strange but for once I don't care if we lose tonight, it seems like meaningless game, unfortunetely our players feel the same way too :lol

Art On The Hill (http://pattayaluxurycondos.com)

[Leetonidas]

I got a question for Mav fans.

Is it like this with Phoenix? Like, you believe you're the better team and you're gonna kick some ass but they always seem to jump on you and you're fighting out of a hole the entire game?

[lefty]

Whine, whine, whine :cry

At least we don't whine during the playoffs; you know, when real men step up...

[lefty]

The Mavs just need to imagine they're playing San Antonio every game and they'll be fine.

:lol

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Line-up should be:
Manu
Bowen
Bonner
Duncan
Elson

Agreed. Manu should just try playing every single possession and go all for all, if we lose, it will be ok but this is one of the games he needs to play 48 minutes and try taking over.

Just heard Jason Loseward they wanted to make an statemetn tonight... that's a pretty losing coment to me

[Deimosfobos]

Manu will need some help on the second half, or we lost already :(

[BUMP]

Dallas clearly wants this game more. but if San Antonio doesnt start beating us, then the Mavs will have all the confidence on Earth if they meet up in the playoffs.

if we can even get there :lol

Dear Spurs Homers,

You are not that much better than the Mavs if better at all. Yes i know you have rings....the Mavs are chokers yada yada. Head to head the Mavs just matchup well against the Spurs. If I'm the Mavs I want to play the Spurs in the first round....rather than an athletic team like G State.

[objective]

nothing wrong with the refs this game; just the usual minor things in any game. The Mavs are getting to the line on legit calls, it's not the refs' fault that Matt Bonner is out there giving up cheap fouls to get into the penalty.

Spurs are sleepwalking zombies. Oberto hasn't shown up almost at all this season. Finley isn't just shooting poorly but has questionable hustle. Duncan couldn't take advantage of Dirk on the block (and hasn't for awhile). The Spurs were very sloppy with their ballhandling and slow with their rotations, very lackluster.

BUT THE WORST THING IS . . .

This was a bad game to bring Vaughn back.

1. A young sparkplug like DW would be nice to see

and

2. A blowout is good for Mahinmi to get some playing time.

[BUMP]

I got a question for Mav fans.

Is it like this with Phoenix? Like, you believe you're the better team and you're gonna kick some ass but they always seem to jump on you and you're fighting out of a hole the entire game?

oh yeah, them and Golden State. especially on the road, except with Phoenix i have the feeling we will always come back.

[Cherry]

Whine, whine, whine :cry

Amare? ...oups! ...sorry :oops

[Nashfan]

The irony.

I'm not one of the whining Suns fans on this board. Just thought it was funny that a few Spurs fans were bitching and complaining (the very thing they accuse Suns fans of) about the refs and the dispairity in this game. :lol

[ducks]

lets go tp lets go
forget the bad shooting in first half and lets go

[Borosai]

Painfully Obvious Statement of the Night: Daliss is playing well. Spurs aren't.

Bonner is gonna kick someone's ass tonight!

[boutons_]

Any know when was the last half-time with the Spurs -19 ?

[RonMexico]

:lol It still amazes me that Mav Fan complains about Dwyane Wade going to the line when all the Mavs do against the Spurs is live at the line.

That is blasphamy

[Nashfan]

At least we don't whine during the playoffs; you know, when real men step up...

:lmao

-Parker needs to keep shooting. He missed some jumpers and then got blocked ... since then he's been passive shooting the ball. He has five assists but I would have rather he shot 15 times in the first half. The Mavs are giving him looks, he has to take them.

-Manu doing pretty good. A little wild but without him, the Spurs would be down 30.

-Duncan started pretty horrible but got better near the end. He needs to bring it in the second half if the Spurs have a chance.

-Nobody else did really well. Bonner had a couple good positions. Elson had a couple moments. But the Spurs need a couple role players to step up.

-Mavs remind Spurs Nation why the Mavs are a difficult matchup.

[peskypesky]

Why no Washington? Is he injured?
Is Barry injured?

[coachmac87]

dallas already have confidence against the spurs...this game is to show that regardless what time of year it is..if the spurs play the mavs..spurs better be ready..

[Budkin]

This is just plain embarassing. The Mavs have fucking owned our asses for the last few games.
