Great perspective Ghazi ...agree Pop threw in towell Mavs just needs to try and find Terry he will be needed before the series is over
Well, this game is already in hand so I'll give my thoughts.
This is probably one of the weirdest games I've ever seen.
Dallas came out and set a tempo, was great on defense, and San Antonio, quite frankly, just couldn't hit any shots.
Our guys did a good job of staying in the Parker. Howard and Damps blocks were great. Our boys protected the paint.
In 1st half I kept thinking Mavs should be up by 20-25 at half, but missed a few shots and had too many turnovers.
But the beloved Mavs came out blazing in the 2nd half and Pop threw in the towel with 20 minutes left.
A wise move by Pop IMO.
So really, dunno what to say. This was basically a 28 minute game. Mavs played great on defense. I still wanna see Terry get going. Dirk was magnificent, as were Barea/Bass. the whole team!
But yeah... unusual game. Doesn't mean much as far as "momentum" or "matchups", San Antonio will not shoot that poorly two games in a row.
Discuss.

Props to the Mavs tonight... they just absolutely kicked our sorry asses all over the place. Tough to be a Spurs fan tonight.
Mavs new gameplan on TP totally blindsided them. Someone was always playing goalie on him at all times. By this I mean, a long defender was always assigned to come over for the blindside block from behind rather than try to step up and get a foul. Spurs have become a one man show..
it also helps when he TP shoots the outside shot like Tony Parker and the team shoots threes like Jason Kidd with the flu
I honestly didn't think the Mavs defense was that good, and I thought we played decent defense ourselves in the first half. We just couldn't hit the side of a barn tonight.
And once you start getting in a big hole, you start taking ill advised shots and compound the problem. Mavs get the credit for getting it done. As far as the Spurs, we just can't have any more games like this.
Dampier was locking folks up tonight, especially Duncan.
Has Duncan ever scored 4 points in a playoff game?
Well he's never sat out an entire half that's for sure
Probably not, but he only played 15 minutes.
Props to the Mavs. Spurs didn't show up tonight and you deserve the win.
He still took 9 shots.
And Pitface Pop looked like he gives a flying about the series.
Now the big question: Once Dampier leaves the Mavs, will he be considered the next Hakeem Olajuwon or Bill Russel?
Next Desanga Diop.
I totally expect the mavs to dominate and I expect game 4 to be a real battle that will go down to the wire....if mavs want to win this series they better take game 4
Was at the game tonight. I might have seen 20 Spurs fans. Usually the visiting team's fans show up, and the Spurs are only 4 hours away. I swear I saw more Hornets fans last year at Game 3.
Kori and LJ were there... so that's 18 Spurs fans you didn't know.
Jason Kidd is a 42% 3 point shooter this year
Don't confuse them with facts.
for his career he sucks, and he had the flu
Exactly..Spurs played horrible, Mavs played great. Nothing to see here..great game Dallas..we'll see you Saturday.
He's slow but a good 3-point shooter now. He was fast and not a good 3-point shooter then.
Great win and a good way to bounce back after that butt raping that the Mavs received in game 2. However, the Mavs cannot let up. They have to keep their foot on the gas and not stop for a second because the Spurs aren't just gonna bend over and take it in the butt. I'm proud of the Mavs tonight but the series is not over.
It isn't?!
OMG!
The spurs just lost a game they were supposed to lose, our boys in blue have no excuse to give up the home court advantage back to spurs. Surely there will be a dogfight in game 5, in which the spurs will play at home with 1-3 down. Mavs in 6.
I know he's a good shooter now, why do you think i gave him the flu i'd expect that his volume taken is probably down because he's surrounded by shooter. Anyways i said that parker shot the j like parker even though he's been good this year he's been pretty cept for the last 2 years and the finals before it. I'm talking careers here
