now here's a thread i can agree with!
You blame the San Antonio Spurs, period.
1. Free Throws! Make some freaking free throws, they are simply that...FREE!
2. Manu. Everyone knows he's going left, it's no secret....so why go to him in the closing seconds. Oh yeah, and he did indeed turn the ball over in the closing moments of yet another game. How many times now? Too many to even think of.
3. Horry. Horry is NOT a good passer. He fakes himself out on when to pass...we've all seen this. He has an unorthodox dribble and terrible balance when he stops his dribble and throws the ball away....too too too many times. He is simply a shooter, keep it that way.
4. Mohammad. Need I say anything? I mean, really!? Biggest mistake in acquiring him for Malik.
The Spurs are simply the ones to blame...not the refs.
Key advice here for the Spurs...
MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS!
now here's a thread i can agree with!
Malik would be huge in this series. Again.
First you blame manu for "turning it over" but then blame Horry for the bad pass? Make a decision.
How about, blame nobody. The team lost, they learn from it, they move on and win game 4. Why does everybody always have to blame something. happens. Spurs in 6!
he's got you there.
i think you're wonderful melmart but the spurs will win the next 3 straight? really?
we'll win it in 7.........hopefully
its nice to see someone not making excuses. this was a heck of a game, and both teams didnt play real well, but this next game will be even better.
I also think so. Malik > Nazr. Mohammed can play just offens, but when you need him in defense he is like a freeway.
if we would have had 18 more free throw attempts, we would have won this game.
this is assuming that the spurs and mavericks commited roughly an equal amount of fouls to each other (which they ing did).
what is the point of this thread?
With Duncan out of the game, who DO you go to?so why go to him in the closing seconds
give me a break, Ginobili carried the team offensively at the end of the 4th.
Did you say this during the playoff run last year?Biggest mistake in acquiring him for Malik
Uh no, you didn't.
If you don't think the Spurs would have won this game by 8-10 points, if it weren't for the refs...your a moron.
Period.
I also think so. Malik > Nazr. Mohammed can play just offens, but when you need him in defense he is like a freeway.
don't do that trade, the SPurs don't win a ring last year.
Willing to make that trade off?!
You wasnt even around at this point of last years playoffs....
Sure they can. If anybody shows up in the first half of a game besides just Tim Duncan? Spurs win, period. Despite 18 more FT's for the Mavs, we only lost by 1 point. If everyone hadn't been napping on the bench for the first two quarters, we woulda won by 10. Some defense would have helped, too.
Spurs in 6. Book it, dano!
So, you think that a 6'5" bench scrub would have been huge when the refs didn't even feel that Tim Duncan deserved to stick around at the end of the game?Malik would be huge in this series. Again.

Your a ing idiot.u blame manu's stupid ass. he ing choked with all his power. thats some you'd expect malik rose to do
Whats Ginobili supposed to do to prevent a guy from knocking the ball off his knee before he even gets ahold of the damn ball....
Basketball is a team game...when you win, its a team win, when you lose its a team loss. Refs don't make you miss FT's or shots or cause you to throw the ball into the first row. I did think they were inconsistent tonight but it affected both teams. They let a lot of stuff go the first 3 Q's then called it tight in the 4th.
Or am I being a "typical Spurs fan" and whining?
Why the are people bringing up Malik? Who the cares, he is fishing right now. You work with what you got, and what we had was a team that nearly won despite sleepwalking through most of the 1st half. Stop living in the past. The future is now. Spurs in 6.
I knew they were going to lose when they showed the Spurs huddle and Manu with that sick stair on his face because the play was for him
There was a time in the 2nd, where I think Nazr failed to rebound 2 air balls in a row by the Mavs. Now that I think about it, though, that shouldn't have been much of a surprise, cause rebounding an air ball is basically the same thing as catching a pass, and Nazr sure as can't do that!![]()
I'm convinced that "Nazr Mohammed" is Arabic for "hands of stone"![]()
Small ball also killed us tonight
Yep, a 6'5" scrub who can't even get off the bench on the worst team in the league (NY) is better than the center who started for the Spurs against the Pistons last year and has a ring to show for it.I also think so. Malik > Nazr.![]()
I blame Pop for messing the C rotation. Freaking Oberto, Horry and Nazr. Horry is not effective when playing big minutes. Oberto is useless, and Nazr can't catch a simple pass. Unleash Rasho.
Also, instead of having Manu on the bench, why don't Pop bench Bruce Lee?
The Mavs are scoring regardless and Bruce is a liability offensively.
Starting Monday Spurs must kill the Mavs, now is the time. Put an end to their appe e, aquire an athletic, long 4 this summer, and dominate the West for years to come.
