Spurs vs. Mavs - 2009 First Round Game 3

[Texas_Ranger]

Parker played 17 minutes...And gues who is #2 in minutes...Yes, you're right...It's non other than our hero Matt Bonner!

[hater]

I don't know why. But I'm not even slightly depressed we are down by 16.

can't wait to see how SPurs respond

They can pack the paint on us easily if there's only one guy who is going to slash. If there are two, it's a lot harder to defend. You don't think this would be a different game with Manu?

We have two slashers on this team - Manu and TP. One of them goes down and we're screwed. We need some athletes. I'm sick of watching a bunch of old jumpshooters.

You don't think that is painfully obvious, just like you said to me about crisper ball-movement and spreading the floor by making shots?

[Chomag]

Pop probebly just taking a nap for half time lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hey, at least Pop played Hill...

Yeah, major breakthrough! Maybe he's finally addressing the BENOPHOBIA.

after losing game 1 spurs win game 2, give us hope then get swept the rest of the series. this team seems to not have the will power to win

Fake Spurs fan.

[sonic21]

no believers in this threads, spurs got this.

[Borosai]

And people want to bash Bonner relentlessly. Like I've said before, Bonner is not the Spurs' biggest problem. He's not even the worst player tonight.

[DPG21920]

Do Work Sons.

Sure, I just wanted to needle you actually.

Don't forget we've been sucking starting the 3rd quarter in the two previous games. I hope we come out with a different at ude tonight.

[Manufan909]

Guaranteed!

I concur.

[DPG21920]

I am hoping to God Pop decided to gamble because he thought he needed to give TP a rest. I am hoping he is not quitting.

[VBM]

Sadly enough, the refs aren't any worse than a normal home crowd ref crew. This deficit def. isn't their doing. I do like how Mason hit a couple of shots and then the team just went away from him. Feed Mason, because he simply doesn't give a ...unlike Mr. Bonner

[benefactor]

I'm glad Pop left Hill in there even after he made a couple of mistakes.

[DPG21920]

Besides not calling some of the more obvious 3 second violations, I am ok with the officiating.

[byrdman31]

please dont give up pop

[Manufan909]

Yeah, major breakthrough! Maybe he's finally addressing the BENOPHOBIA.

Dude, that won't stick, quit trying to shove it down our throats.

[VBM]

no believers in this threads, spurs got this.

you're right. we only lose when we get big leads. We've got them right where we want them.

[HarlemHeat37]

If Pop hasn't given up, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we end up winning this game..

[Capt Bringdown]

Is it becuase they're black? Racist

Why would it be because they are black? You were awful quick to make that assumption. So who's the racist again?

Agreed. We need more plays where we run Mason off of screens to get him some looks. He could slash the lead in half in a hurry if he got hot from distance.

Also, Gooden needs to realize that they have figured out he is a scorer and they are going to be doubling him. He has got to have some recognition and find the open man out of the double.

[DPG21920]

Spurs could use a MASSIVE run to start the third sons.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So, how do we get back into this? I think we need to go OL SKOOL SPURS - lots of 4-down for Tim (and Drew when Tim is sitting), and on D play Hill on Barea and lots of Bowen. I don't care if we lose, wear them down and put up a fight - build a platform for game 4 so the Mavs know they have a fight on their hands. Right now those dirty Dallas bas s are just cruising...

[lurker]

I'm shocked the first half went so smoothly. I was nervous after all the talking the Mavs did.
