Spurs @ Mavs - Nov. 15 Game Blog

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I don't care that it's early in the season, but this is a Spurs-Mavs game! Its equivalent to a Cowboy-Redskins game in my eyes. I'm going to be within earshot of Cuban's seat and I hope he hears me yell GO SPURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm wearing my Silver and Black, proudly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spurs 98
Mavs 81

Manu will have a phenomenal game. Josh "Hee-Haw" Howard or Devin Harris will get a tech.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Kind of early don't you think? at what time does the game start?

I agree with you about the analagy of a Cowboy vs. Redskin matchup. It does not matter if it is regular season or not. It's a BIG deal!

By the way the Mavs are favored by 2.

And i guess you are really going to stand out in your Silver and Black because the Team is giving away 20,000 green Mavs shirts to everone who enters. It is to support our Texas National Guard. It is "Green Out" night at the game.

See below...

Thursday, November 15, 2007, 7 PM at American Airlines Center!

Thursday will officially be Mavs and Texas National Guard “Green Out” night as the club takes on intrastate rival San Antonio.

Similar to last season’s Dirk for MVP campaign, the Mavs and Texas National Guard will distribute 20,000 green t-shirts to all of the fans as they enter American Airlines Center. Everyone in attendance is asked to put on the shirt as they enter the building to show support for our troops and the Mavs.

Prior to tipoff, the Texas National Guard will have a rock climbing wall out on the AT&T Plaza and will also provide the Color Guard during the National Anthem.

I will be at that game as well this weekend! It's a great 4 days of sports in Dallas. It will be even greater when the Dallas team wins both games ;)

Well good luck. I hope you don't get in any fights.

Hey if you are any where near section 113 tonight, look up to Row E and give me the thumbs up with your Manu jersey on. I of course will have the Mavs Green on!

[stretch]

Mavs - 98

Spurs - 89

Mavs still match up just too well with the Spurs.

Dirk and Howard always give Ginobili, Bowen, and Duncan headaches.

Harris owns Parker.

No one can guard Terry either, because they have to match up on Dirk, Howard, and Harris, and Bass/Diop will straight up murder Oberto and Bonner's asses.

[ducks]

Kind of early don't you think? at what time does the game start?
not for the mavs spurs game

[Lebowski Brickowski]

I garauntee the Spurs want this one. I know I do. I know we were all reeeaaalllly happy the mavs were knocked out by GS in the playoffs. I sure as hell was. I REALLY want to see how we match-up.

Key things:
Can we win the boards?
--- this will be KEY against the mavs. If we come close to matching them on the boards, it is a good sign.

Can we keep them out of the lane?
--- Defensive priority numero UNO. If they get in the lane, will 'Obelson' get there on the rotations?

Can we play inside-out?
--- Yeah-- the Spurs are a great perimeter shooting team; but I think we need to work TD hard inside to open up the offense. This wont be like the lakers game.


Call out to anyone: What else should I be watching for?

[MagnusKrauss]

Watch out for a Udoka sighting!!!!

will we see the lineup we all had in mind for the Mavs or will Pop hide them?

[boutons_]

The Spurs are clicking and already playing extremely well for November.

I'm hoping it's partially because they've got Repeat pre-occupations.

Pop can't be unhappy with 7-1, but I'm sure thinks it's bad because it's been so easy. :lol He's probably thinking the Spurs should lose @Mavs as some kind of "test" or motivator. Will Pop coach to win?

Tim is due to bounce back from a horrible game.
Tony and Manu need to keep it up.

The teams are so close, homecourt could be the difference, or like that single play vs Mavs that cost the Spurs a chance to 3peat.

The Spurs winning @Mavs would affect both teams the way I want them to be affected. :)

oh yeah, fuck Cuban.

[ponky]

i hope it's a good game for teams of both fans tonight...have fun tonight spurs fans...mavs win.........maybe lol

[samikeyp]

Good to see the Ponk-ster back among us :toast

[Gino20]

This will be a good game and likely come down to the wire. In the end, I like the Spurs to pull it out. They have been playing the best ball (maybe besides Boston) in the league. The Mavs are good, but have not looked to sharp in their games. They have struggled with some pretty bad teams before putting them away. For example, Philly. For the Mavs to win, I think Dirk has to have another huge game. Spurs 98, Mavs 93

Will this be the first game this season where Kori has to turn off sigs because of all the traffic?

[DubMcDub]

Watch out for a Udoka sighting!!!!

Last year it was Elson. Now it's Udoka. Who will be the supposed "secret anti-Maverick weapon" next season? Maybe you guys should sign Bob Sura.

[41times]

In the mean time the Spurs better watch out for our secret weapons: The Killer B's: Bass and Barrea! ;)

[Jimcs50]

Spurs will win...bet the farm on it.

sounds like the revolving door of "stoppers" the mavs bring in yearly. griffin, buckner, jones/hassell. it's all just fan bs.

[J.T.]

I actually think the Mavs win this one.

[smrattler]

When Bass gets in the game, TD needs to shake it up and get him in foul trouble and out of there. We don't need a big boy like that in the game. :)

I'm interested in seeing the TP - Harris matchup. TP got fired up for that CP matchup, and we saw how that went. Hopefully he's been hearing this Harris-TP comparison talk long enough.

[FromWayDowntown]

Harris owns Parker.

I can appreciate optimism, but this statement has never made any sense to me.

[jman3000]

of everyone on the mavs stackhouse scares me the most... everytime we face them he seems to not miss. dirk has not been playing the out of this world basketball this season as he was last, so i actually think we could win this one handily.

with that being said... it's early in the season and the spurs have a good record... i smell a slump coming. this one goes to overtime and the spurs lose.

[Lebowski Brickowski]

I can appreciate optimism, but this statement has never made any sense to me.

Me neither. I can't think of ANYBODY who would rather have harris than TP. Harris is pretty good -- just not as good. Parker is head and shoulders better. Simple as that.

[41times]

I can appreciate optimism, but this statement has never made any sense to me.

Well it all stems back to a regular season game a couple of years ago when Harris scored 20 points in the 4th quarter of a tight game to blow it open for the Mavs.

In Parker's defense only about 14 of those points came against him. The rest were against a sub.

But Harris is a bit faster than Parker and he does cause problems for Parker with his speed and quickness. But Harris still has a little bit to learn about being a top notch point guard.

It should be a battle within the War and fun to watch those 2 go at it tonight.

[Holt's Cat]

Harris owns Parker when one snorts coke off his boyfriend's ass in their Deep Ellum pad.

[Holt's Cat]

Remember when Mav fans used to troll in here? I guess it took the light shining off LO'B #4 to run those cockroaches off.

Karma is so enjoyable sometimes.

But Harris is a bit faster than Parker [no -really, please stop] and he does cause problems for Parker with his speed and quickness.
But Harris still has a little bit to learn :lol about being a top notch point guard. -- ask Avery about that.... Who considers Harris in the top tier of PGs in the league??? How long has he been a starter, again?

It should be a battle within the War and fun to watch those 2 go at it tonight. --- agreed!

I don't think one regular season game 3 or 4 years ago is all that telling. Last year, Parker went for 18.3 ppg against Dallas and shot 47% from the floor; Harris averaged 9.5 ppg (with 21 of his 38 points against the Spurs coming in one game -- a game in which Parker outscored Harris) and shot 39% from the floor.

I'm not even sure that's particularly close.

[Findog]

I actually think the Mavs win this one.

Really? Spurs are sharper and playing better right now. I wish we had more time to get in sync before a divisional game.

Why do they schedule these rivalry games so early? We shouldn't meet until around the All-Star Break.

[Findog]

Flops will be a'plenty.

As is the case when Devin and Manu are both on the floor at the same time. It's like they both have an inner ear condition.

I don't really disagree with you. Harris had 1 or 2 good games and the rest of the time Parker has been better. We are all hoping here in Dallas that Harris develops this year like Parker did when Pop finally turned over the reigns to him.

[Holt's Cat]

That would have been Game 2 (iirc) of his NBA career. When Parker was 19 years old.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Memo to Spurs fan: go to a movie tonight. Go watch Grey's Anatomy. Do something fun. You already lost this game. The Mavs have won. We have to wait 6 1/2 hours before it is confirmed. Accept the fact that we are still a matchup nightmare for you guys. It will be easier to get through your night better. Dont piss this evening away getting deja vu on a team who is the Spurs cryptonite! :clap :clap :clap

[meta2007]

This is the game that I wait for a while!

Spurs 103: 102 Mavs

[101A]

It's November and it's the Spurs; there should be no question - THIS is a loss. However, this November the Spurs have looked different; gelling and determined. If this team reverts to form (which I keep expecting), Spurs lose. If they play like they have been? Businesslike win.

[spursfan09]

I hope the Spurs take it tonight. They can show the Mavs that yea they got us one year, but we are the champs that they never could be. It should also play with thier minds especially have choking that in the finals and last year.

[monosylab1k]

monosylab you are a funny mavs poster :tu
haha stretch and monosylab1k are not the same person.

stretch is a confirmed Tony Parker hater. I, on the other hand, respect his contributions to the hated Spurs.

[J.T.]

I think the Mavs take this game. They are at home and that is a bit of an advantage for them, although I think Spurs vs Mavs is probably the best example of HCA meaning absolutely nothing. But a lot of people are doubting the Mavs right now and I think that gives them that extra push to win this game. If the Spurs lose, they're still considered title contenders. If the Mavs lose they're going to say Dallas' road back to the Finals runs through and ends in San Antonio. Pencil this in as one of those early season losses where we get outrebounded or miss a bunch of threes and lose the game.

[pawe]

Im not so thrilled between the Spurs and Mavs game anymore after the Suns-Spurs playoff match last year. Well, that's me anyways. Bring on the Suns dammit!

[Jason_Terry]

Mavs are gonna bring it tonight!!!

[ShoogarBear]

Last year it was Elson. Now it's Udoka. Who will be the supposed "secret anti-Maverick weapon" next season? Maybe you guys should sign Bob Sura.You never got a taste of the real Dirk-Stopper.

[Hemotivo]

:lol

[barbacoataco]

This game will be fun to watch, but fans of both teams should remember that this is November. Neither team will want to show their hand. Even if the Spurs had some new, clever way to match up against the Mavs, they wouldn't show it to the Mavs tonight and give them a whole season to figure it out. Likewise, the Mavs' slow start might be because they want to pace themselves and not repeat last year's mistake of peaking too soon in the season. So, whoever wins, it doesn't mean much come playoff time.

[timvp]

I can't wait for this game to start. Time to see how good this Spurs team is in the middle of November.

Will the Mavs win yet another regular season championship or can the Spurs steal their crown?

:hungry:

[BUMP]

^^^what a pussy way to look at it. (barbacoataco)

these are about the ONLY games these two teams care about. sure, its not the playoffs, but neither team is going to let up or "hold something back" as you're saying. Mavs and Spurs arent officially in the playoffs yet. this game means a lot

[timvp]

this game means a lot:lmao

The Mavs can win by 100 points and the Spurs' odds of winning the championship won't change. If anything, they'd increase.

Although, I do realize this game does mean a good amount to the Mavs.

[Jason_Terry]

Yeah, this game means a lot to Dallas. Just look at how bad the Spurs beat us in the playoffs the last time both teams played each other.....oh wait, they didn't :elephant

I'm sure if by some miracle San Antonio wins tonight, you Spur fans won't act like it's a big deal :rolleyes

After one's favorite team wins its third or fourth championship, one comes to understand that pretty much nothing in the NBA is a big deal in November.

Go Spurs Go!

:cheer :D :cheer

Hi all!

[timvp]

After one's favorite team wins its third or fourth championship, one comes to understand that pretty much nothing in the NBA is a big deal in November.True.

However, I can't blame Mav Fan really. I remember how the Spurs' whole season used to revolve around those Lakers games back even after the Spurs' first championship.

"Best sixth man in the NBA."

[angel_luv]

First of all, Barkley, this is a basketball program. Leave Barry and his bad self out of the discussion.

I didn't know Starbury got benched but am not surprised to hear about all the drama that followed.
That guy is bad for team chemistry which is a shame given his skill level.

Boo- Reggie Miller and David Aldridge are covering our game.


But hooray for Ginoooooooooooobili! :)

[angel_luv]

People picked us fifth to win our division. Who voted?????

The Spurs need to survive the early run. I expect the Mavs to get up 8-10 points sometime in the first quarter.

[Darkwaters]

Short of a season-ending injury to any of the Big 4, pretty much.

[Darkwaters]

Maurice Ager is starting?

[carina_gino20]

do they always start regular season home games like this?

[timvp]

Duncan on Dirk?

Constantly expecting astute thoughts from Reggie Miller :rolleyes

That is what I was thinking when the game started.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD bank!

[mystargtr34]

Atta boy Timmy... bank opens early on Thursdays in Dallas

[timvp]

Oberto is awake this game.

[mystargtr34]

Fab another Offensive board...

[Jason_Terry]

Nice shot, Dirk!

[angel_luv]

Walk it off pls Timmy, be okay!

[mystargtr34]

Damn 8-0 run Dallas

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Marv Albert scared the shit out of me.

[Russ]

Marv doesn't know an ankle from a thigh.

[monosylab1k]

Eddie Jones had been starting but he's out with an ankle injury.
Avery said he was going to experiment with starting Ager for a while to keep Jones "fresh".

[Spurologist]

Damn

Howard just kicked TD at a very sensitive area while converting a layup

TO Spurs

[sprrs]

Fabri played great defense on Dirk that last shot, nothing else he could have done, was just a hell of a shot.

[angel_luv]

Did Timmy land funny or get kicked?

[Manu20]

Damn the announcer is trying to kill me!!

[td4mvp21]

OMFG HOWARD IS SO DIRTY!!!!!! /sunsfan

[timvp]

Dirk can't figure out why Duncan is in pain.

[monosylab1k]

could that crowd be any more pathetic looking? there's more fuckin empty seats than full ones.

The Green-Out is a MASSIVE FAILURE as well.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Dallas/Dirk has started out on fire.

Dirk seems to be in form. It's like we picked up right where we left off, except Oberto is bringing his game on the rebounding end.

[mystargtr34]

Nice shot, Dirk!

Very nice shot... Bruce Bowen aint no Matt Barnes or Stephen Jackson on defense so we gotta give him that

[angel_luv]

Damn the announcer is trying to kill me!!


When Reggie speaks all I hear is blah, blah, blah.

I was hoping we'd at least get Marv Albert to offset him.

[duncan228]

Marv Albert scared the shit out of me.

It's Kevin Harlen.

[timvp]

Very nice shot... Bruce Bowen aint no Matt Barnes or Stephen Jackson on defense so we gotta give him that:huh

Bowen is on Howard.

[CarefreeAZ]

Have Parker keep driving it to the basket only to have it stuffed right back at him - beautiful.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

It's Kevin Harlen.
Oh my bad.

[Russ]

Joe Ely on TNT singing "Dallas" -- very nice.

[timvp]

Was that a Warriors fan in the middle of those green shirts?

[Spurs Brazil]

JV active, Ian out

[Spurologist]

Oberto is clearly the player of the game so far

[Russ]

It's Kevin Harlen.
He must be a Marv impersonator.

[monosylab1k]

Was that a Warriors fan in the middle of those green shirts?
there's alot of those in Dallas this year. They put their Wade jerseys away and bought a Baron Davis one.

p.s. what green shirts?

[timvp]

Parker sucking . . .

[SuperManu!!!]

Is anyone broadcasting the game through sopcast?

[Russ]

This is looking like a poor effort

[ChumpDumper]

We're going to lose this game.

[Leetonidas]

Justice is served. :lol

[td4mvp21]

Bullshit call.

[Jason_Terry]

Make your damn free throws, guys :madrun

[milkyway21]

Parker 0-4 :cry

go, go TP :flag:

[FromWayDowntown]

That has to be about the worst clear-path foul in NBA history.

[Leetonidas]

These turnovers are ridiculous.

[angel_luv]

Killing me Holmes!

Great D by Dallas

[dirk4mvp]

Make your damn free throws, guys :madrun


Not to worry he drilled a 3 right after.

Damn, Dallas is a lot more pumped against us, they need to collect themselves.

[sprrs]

It's embarrassing how careless they're getting with the ball.

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF with all those TOs

[ChumpDumper]

Dallas is playing great, Spurs suck.

[mystargtr34]

Wheres Ducks :D

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Tony Manu Tim turn over trio

[Udrihlooms]

It's still early. No need (yet) to trade Tony, Tim and Pop for Kobe. :D

[Tippecanoe]

Turnovers
San Antonio - 5
Dallas - 0

[easjer]

This is no fun. This is suck ass. I hope they pull their heads out and stop this nonsense because this is not fun to watch. It only makes me angry, and I didn't even care about this game yesterday.

[angel_luv]

The Mask is in!

[midgetonadonkey]

This season is over.

[Spurologist]

This is fucking pathetic. No offensive flow what so ever. Escort service defense

[mavsfan1000]

Mavs look ready tonight. :D

[SpursFanFirst]

stop the bleeding!!! This is bad!

[angel_luv]

I am supposed to be relaxing. Spurs are not helping!

[easjer]

Turnovers
San Antonio - 5
Dallas - 0


Only 5? Feels like 18. They are playing like shit.

What is it about playing a hyped up decent team that makes them curl into the fetal position and forget to play ball?

[RonMexico]

Diop is racking up good steals for my fantasy team.

[SuperManu!!!]

Is anyone broadcasting the game through sopcast?
ANYONE>?>>>?

[~Sweetmelody~]

*SIGH*

It's going to be a long night

[Spurologist]

Supermanu check your PM

[RonMexico]

Parker is racking up terrible numbers for my other team.

[td4mvp21]

Mavs look ready tonight. :D

That's because it's November.

[abelle23]

hey guys im stuck at the office... :depressed

any suggestions where i can listen/watch online?

THANKS

[Spurs Brazil]

JV in

[RonMexico]

Oh... just as Mav Fans predicted... they own the Spurs...

[MI21]

:lol @ Spurs.

I log on to see if the game is started and they are down 12 within a few minutes..

[Spurs Brazil]

hey guys im stuck at the office... :depressed

any suggestions where i can listen/watch online?

THANKS


You can listen the game on NBA.com

[Tippecanoe]

great game :lmao

[Russ]

Manu is throwing it to the other team

[milkyway21]

it looks like AJ spend 75% of his time studying how to beat the Spurs than beating other teams like Golden State:D. Dallas always make an impressive play against the Spurs, win or loss.

[easjer]

God, Reggie Miller is a fucking idiot.

[timvp]

Manu has joined Parker in suckdom.

[Udrihlooms]

Ok, maybe we should officially start the annual "Fire Pop!" now! :D

[FromWayDowntown]

What statement is that, Reg? Something like, I like giving up free points!!

[dirk4mvp]

God, Reggie Miller is a fucking idiot.


I think Bill Walton should announce every NBA game by himself.

[sprrs]

STUPID block by Ager...there was no way that shot was going in..."making a statement" or not.

[ChumpDumper]

Ok, maybe we should officially start the annual "Fire Pop!" now! :DWhy? Is he passing the ball to the other team?

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu and one!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Absolutely completely absent defense! WHAT THE FUCK IS UP!??

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Vaughn is in... hmmm will we see DWash at all tonight?

[mavsfan1000]

That's because it's November.
No it's because they are playing the spurs.

[Darkwaters]

Why do we look like the Lakers tonight?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I haven't see any Pop exploitive match ups....so if this just a trial one, I can see Dallas keeping us on our heels.

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Reggie: "That's a statement block"

Mavs on a roll and Ager stops momentum with a goaltend on a manu shot that never had a chance of going in.

[timvp]

Is it me or has Frank TV jumped the shark already? That's saying something seeing as how the show hasn't even started yet.

[boutons_]

Reggie fucking sucks

[Udrihlooms]

great game :lmao

shut up! there are only two teams in a game, and Boston isn't one of them. I can't wait for the Spurs to meet your Boston. It's going to be a pretty, ugly game for you! :spin

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

What statement is that, Reg? Something like, I like giving up free points!!
:lol

yeah that was pretty retarded commentary.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Man that SACU commercial is one of the worst commercials ever

[easjer]

Well, if they can't get it together, I won't watch. It's been a stressful enough day (important job interview this morning, and another tomorrow). I don't need to get all angry about a worthless game in November. Frankly, if they are going to suck, I'd rather Pop put out the most bizarre combinations just to see what the hell happens.

[boutons_]

Spurs didn't come ready to play, getting their butts badly out-hustled.

Dallas will cool off, Spurs will heat up, but it could be a huge hole to climb out of.

[td4mvp21]

No it's because they are playing the spurs.
...no, I'm pretty sure it's because the game has no importance whatsoever. They always seem to play best in those games.

[Amarelooms]

Ummm no doubt about it the Spurs want no part of the Mavs come playoff time. Just hope the Mavs lose cause only shot for the Spurs to win back to back

[Shaolin-Style]

Howard knows whats up

[da_suns_fan__]

Diop really bothers Duncan.....Timmmy doesnt play so well against people his own size!

[Jason_Terry]

Terry for 3!!!!!

[Russ]

Why do we look like the Lakers tonight?
The Spurs just need to penetrate and kick out

[Spurologist]

Double team Erica Dampier inside to leave Dirkie for an open 3. WTF

[SpursFanFirst]

Well, if they can't get it together, I won't watch. It's been a stressful enough day (important job interview this morning, and another tomorrow). I don't need to get all angry about a worthless game in November. Frankly, if they are going to suck, I'd rather Pop put out the most bizarre combinations just to see what the hell happens.

I'm with you...if it's going to be this bad with the starters, throw in the bench and see what happens...it can't be much worse. :depressed

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

We're still in the first quarter?

[Soul_Patch]

Dallas has to be shooting about 85%, i doubt they can keep it up...regardless we look like garbage.

[easjer]

Sorry if it's been asked - Manu wearing a compression thing on his leg? Have I just missed this previously or is there a story?

[RonMexico]

Is it me or has Frank TV jumped the shark already? That's saying something seeing as how the show hasn't even started yet.

Yes, it joins "The Closer," "Saved," and "House of Payne" for shows that out-lived their welcomes before the premiere episode.

[ChumpDumper]

Bonner is here to save us.

[mavsfan1000]

...no, I'm pretty sure it's because the game has no importance whatsoever. They always seem to play best in those games.
See game 7 on the road against the spurs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mavs FG-10-15

[Udrihlooms]

FIRE POP now! Trade Tim for Kobe, TP for Marbury, and Manu for Marion!

[easjer]

The Spurs just need to penetrate and kick out


They were getting killed on penetration earlier - blocked left and right.

[RonMexico]

This is what we call a "Brokeback Game" - i.e. the game where the homos (Dirk, Terry, Howard) win.

[peskypesky]

Well, if they can't get it together, I won't watch. It's been a stressful enough day (important job interview this morning, and another tomorrow). I don't need to get all angry about a worthless game in November. Frankly, if they are going to suck, I'd rather Pop put out the most bizarre combinations just to see what the hell happens.

i totally agree.

try out some weird-ass combos. couldn't be any worse.

[timvp]

Nice shot Elson.

[boutons_]

Spurs FG 33% vs 65%

[Spurs Brazil]

Cisco J

[peskypesky]

Dallas can't miss.

[Leetonidas]

That was one of the worst quarters I've ever seen the Spurs play.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

65 percent??? they should come back down

[RonMexico]

Dirk has 0 fouls... not surprised.

[Darkwaters]

Dallas can't miss.

They'll cool down sooner or later. But damn...

[Soul_Patch]

Dallas is gonna break 100pts by halftime unless we wake the fuck up.

[sprrs]

33 first quarter points....Defense needs to step up

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I want the San Antonio bench to rally against Dallas.

[Jason_Terry]

Fucking half the Dallas crowd missed seeing the entire first quarter. Pathetic! I wish I still lived in the area.

[Tippecanoe]

33-18 after one

[dirk4mvp]

Dirk has 0 fouls... not surprised.


Got anything else to bitch about, you fucking homo?

[peskypesky]

Is it just me or is Bruce looking a little out of it tonight?

[midgetonadonkey]

They should just start tanking the season for top pick in the draft. Start rebuilding now.

[timvp]

The energy is there for the Spurs. The Mavs are just playing really well.

[td4mvp21]

See game 7 on the road against the spurs.

Oh, but we're not supposed to talk about the past! Remember?!?

[boutons_]

Will the Spurs keep playing, or will they give up with "it's november, WGAF?"

[easjer]

33 first quarter points....Defense needs to step up

Wouldn't suck for the offense to stop turning it over. Oh, and making some shots wouldn't suck either.

[Russ]

Dallas is playing hard on defense. Can they keep it up for 4 quarters or will the Spurs make a run late?

[FromWayDowntown]

The shooting percentages should even out as this game progresses -- they almost always do -- but the Spurs can't give the Mavs extra possessions and extra shots with silly turnovers. The turnovers are the real killer right now.

[RonMexico]

Got anything else to bitch about, you fucking homo?

Yeah, probably the fact that all your friends said the Mavs had better fans than the Suns... I'm sure that's the case when 45% of them aren't even there for tip-off.

Dirk 0 fouls...

[timvp]

That was one of the worst quarters I've ever seen the Spurs play.Reminded me of Game 7 ................................

[peskypesky]

I missed most of the first quarter, but it sure doesn't look like the Spurs are running the offense through Duncan. Is that right?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

The energy is there for the Spurs. The Mavs are just playing really well.
I think the Mavs elevated their game against us, just like Houston did..

Because when I watched their previous game, they were no where near this sharp. They're treating it like a playoff game.

[easjer]

I'll give it a little more time, then I'm headed upstairs. I don't care if we lose, I figured they would, but I don't want to get angry about things.

[RonMexico]

Jason Terry 6th man

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I missed most of the first quarter, but it sure doesn't look like the Spurs are running the offense through Duncan. Is that right?
They were earlier..

but they kept being careless with the ball on liike six possessions

[thewatcher]

Diop really bothers Duncan.....Timmmy doesnt play so well against people his own size!

old news!
also, the guy hardly can score 2 feet away from the basket!

go mavs go!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

wow that was a classi c chaotic Manu Lay up

[Spurologist]

Bonnerrrrrrrrrrr with a nice drive for the deuce

[Soul_Patch]

watch the fuck out for matt boner!

[timvp]

Did I just see Bonner finish at the rim?

[FromWayDowntown]

Not enough length right now.

[spursrule32]

been busy, so pardon me for not knowing Darius' status - is he active for tonight? If so, why is Pop going with Vaughan instead?

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner!

[RonMexico]

Honestly, I appreciate your passion as fans, but I read how upset you get in the first quarter and I have to think that seeing 4 championship banners would ease some of the pressure.

Then again, it is the Mavs and watching a game in AAC can make the most sane person angry.

I guess it's time for Lakeshow1 to come in and proclaim "Scoreboard!"

[Spurologist]

Excellent D for the last few possessions.

Bonnnnnnnnnnerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 33333333333333333333333333
