Embarrasing
Game is still on 3rd quarter. i dont know why Pop pull all starters out and not even leave Tony there just in case his jumpshooot back...and putting JV too soon. I know Spurs didnt make any shots but this kind of give up I rarely seen in NBA, Celtics will never take out their starters this early nor Lakers. They will try to make score respectable no matter what. I am done watching basketball this playoff...Spurs is done and they will not going to win this series this way. Pop is giving up too early on starters and for whoever that think we can still win this: take a look at the score. NO WAY CHAMPION GETTING BEAT UP OVER 30pts in playoffs,not any given time. Spurs officially ed!!!!
I won't give up till the fat lady sings on Saturday. Yes, they sucked tonight. No effort.
Keeping the score respectable is horrible strategy In a 7 game series with an old team and a game coming up in less than 2 days...you don't keep your starters in with a 30pt deficit. You throw in the towel and hope they learn how to shoot by the time the next game starts
The game is over, but not the series. The Mavs can't take the points with them into Game 3, they can only hope they still have the same sort of momentum. I can definitely see us starting out more aggressively in game 4.....oh, I should definitely be able to SEE THE GAME as well.![]()
When do you see in playoffs you got this much time and already seeing a team emptying the bench? EXTREMELY RARE IF NOT NEVER. Although not exact i just saying what the commentators said. Its the most embarassing performance in playoffs I have ever seen...The next game is still on Dallas as well,it will be better but Spurs in the end will beat up too badly if they ever get out of this series....bye bye championship
Game 4 will be totally different. I expect a close spurs win in game 4. A hard fought game back and forth with the spurs just pulling it out.
It`s only one game. In 48 hours it will be 0-0 again and everybody`s game
The grammar in this thread is almost as pathetic as the spurs effort tonight.
The series isn't over, and playing Tim and Tony extended minutes to make the score "respectable" is about the most re ed thing I have ever heard. The game was over before the first half ended. 100% right call to pull the starters after that horrible performance.
This game is almost as bad as Lebomb's attempt at humor.
rascal believes spurs will win
Average margin of victory > 20 points.
Tim Duncan too inefficient to win.
The other team is just better.
That's what people said after games 3 and 4 in 2005 Finals.
Detroit steamrolled us in 2 consecutive games: 97 to 76 in game 3 and 102 to 71 in game 4. Duncan shoot terribly from the floor and looked like he was never coming out of it.
But he did. Horry's heroics sometimes mask Duncan's large numbers in game 5, despite the missed free throws and the missed tip-in.
And in game 7, Duncan "came up big when you have to come up big" (Al Michaels) and dominated from the middle of the third quarter to the final buzzer.
Duncan was injured then as well.
And yes, this isn't the 2005 San Antonio Spurs. A far sight from it.
But, neither are the 2009 Dallas Mavericks the 2005 Detroit Pistons. Not even close.
And if we win game 4, then we get home court advantage back.
After this piss-poor performance and effort and out of desperation (to avoid going down 3 to 1) and due to a desire to redeem themselves after this humiliating beat down, the Spurs may find a way to win game 4.
So, this first round series in 2009 with San Antonio Spurs vs Dallas Mavericks isn't over by a long shot. In fact, it's just begun.
Teams often alternate games for the first several games.
Let's hope that this is what takes place in game 4.
Believe.

just like the hornet series last year
except spurs do not have manu
He is from a different country. English is not his primary language.
as do I.
Game 4. No way the spurs are champions this year.
And the Mavs don't have CP3 to terrorize the paint.....at least we proved we could put a stop to that Barea nonsense; Paul was murdering us even when we won.
The Spurs ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Yes they should
Pop an idiot for not putting Bowen on Barea. Maybe it still wouldn't have mattered
Yes w eplayed bad tonight but im not giving up when we cans till win the series
Damn if it was another team I could handle it better but Cuban,Nowitzki,Terry,Stackhouse hate those guys as much as the Jazz in the 90's
