I didn't think they shot that well. 46 points at the half is manageable. Obviously, if you contrast it to our shooting, it looked amazing.
we looked pretty good out there tonight. Spurs shot horribly, but we are gonna shoot that good at home so get used to it in game 4 SpurFan. We've been doing it all year. however i still dont think the series is over. if we win game 4 we are right back to 2006 and we werent able to close it out until game 7 OT.
game 4 is huge. if Spurs win, then this series is all knotted up again, but if we win i think the nail is pretty much in the coffin. Spurs confidence will take a serious hit if that were to happen

one of the funnest games ive been too. complete domination. if we can win 1 of the next 2 the series is over.
that first half the mavs turned the ball over 8 times and the spurs converted it to 2 whole points
they arent my mavs, nor am i really a fan of them, but i gotta say, after what happened to them in the finals, its hard not to root for them.
we kinda look at them as winning the championship that year, lol.
we have a joke around here that the mavs won it, but the heat got it, lol.
back to the game tonight. dayum, that was a beatdown.
i have NEVER seen dallas play defense like that. ive never seen ANY TEAM choke out the spurs like that.
i dont even think ive seen THE SPURS choke a team like that, and they are supposed to be the defensive team in this series.
i think if dallas wins game 4, turn off the lights, the party is over.
before the series started i picked dallas to win in 6, but if the spurs dont steal one in dallas like the mavs did to the spurs, its not going to go 6.
That they did my friend, that they did
You are a Lakers fan and have never seen a team beatdown the Spurs like that?
have the spurs ever scored less than that in a playoff game?
Nope, but they have been beaten down just as bad and swept.
i know we have busted their balls more.
im talking about CHOKE OUT DEFENSE IN a basketball game.
Spurs just playing possum.
Mavs played okay, Spurs played beyond atrocious. Good win for the Mavs, but tonight the Tennessee Lady Vols could have beaten the Spurs.
Man, you grade hard...
I disagree
lol, had players blocking shots that looked like they were flying in from halfcourt, and the guy says they played "ok"
they were not playing horse. maverick players were flying around like rabbid bats man.
you didnt see that? seriously?
I actually wasn't impressed with the Mavs offensively. The turnovers were agitating and quite a few missed shots in immediate basket area.
But the defense was very good by Mavs standards. Although part of it was the Spurs missing shots, that's usually how it is though.
The margin was indeed probably more due to the Spurs playing really bad instead of the Mavs playing a flawless game.
The Mavs played with a lot of energy but I saw nothing in this game that makes me think they've figured anything out about the Spurs. I saw a whole lot of jump shots taken by the Mavs (except Barea). I didn't see anything that tells me they've had any actual change in at ude that will amount to much in the future.
I can easily see the Spurs winning Game 4 even after this curbstomping.
consistency has not been their strong point, but i gotta give them credit tonight, they were swarming.
they did have 8 blocks, which has to have mav fan smiling.
i could also see them coming back strong, but i think if dallas gives that kind of effort in the next 2 games, they are winning this series
What you expect
The catalysts for tonight were Barea getting the start and coming out strong and Josh Howard with a solid 1st half (except for his ing around before halftime).
well, mavs are the only playoff road team ahead in their series in the west so far this year.
thats a definite change of pace from the last couple of years
I can too, but the Spurs aren't really any better than us. Very evenly-matched. Both teams have laid a turd so far.
and the reason you say you saw nothing new in their at ude or understanding of the spurs? pop pulled his starters after the first tv timeout. our boys in blue were not tested tonight.
i do have a slight feeling that the Spurs might've mailed it in already for the season. its championship or bust and lets face it: if you cant beat the lowly Mavs, you arent going anywhere. they probably realize that if they do barely squeak out this series then they will MURDERED in Denver and i havent even brought up LA and Cleveland
