Well, at least Tim, Tony and Bruce went down with a big fight. Not so sure about some of the others, though.

This crappy season is just as much on Pop as it is on the players. He refused to develop Hill or Hairston and he fell in love with Bonner and Finley. Mason was great when he wasn't forced to play point guard - so Pop screwed with his confidence and it ruined his game. Gooden could've been good - but Pop was stubborn there also.
Everybody needs to take a looooooooooooooooong look in the mirror - including Tim and Tony. There were many games when they didn't play with effort or intensity. This team just didn't measure up - starting with the coach all the way down to the last guy on the bench.
Oh - and Manu doesn't get a pass. I get his pride in playing for Argentina - but with his style of play, he can't continue to play so many games. Let's just hope everybody works hard in the offseason to get healthy and in shape and they come out of the gate firing on all cylinders.
Thanks to Tim, Tony, and Bruce for never giving up and for always performing to the best of their abilities. I didn't get to see the game but the score says it all. I still can't believe we are out in the first round...especially to the Mavs. Not to say the Mavs are bad because they obviously aren't, they are better than the Spurs. But really I dont' see the Mavs winning more than 1 game against Denver. Maybe I'm wrong who knows. Maybe the Front Office will recognize that getting one dimensional role players tha tonly shoot threes isn't going to cut it, because said role players DONT HIT THEIR THREES IN THE PLAYOFFS. We, for the second year in a row, didn't have the role players to keep up with our opponent. I realize Manu's injury had a lot to do with it but it's not an excuse, our role players should have stepped up and they didn't. Good luck in the next round Mavs, I still hate all of your guts but oh well. It would have been a joke if we somehow came back to win that series.
Just wanna say those of you complaining about the refs were absolutely right...if it weren't for them...we'd be heading for game 6.
PF
MAVS=18
SPURS=24
FT's
MAVS=20/25 for 80%
SPURS=12/19 for 63%
Maybe we can do it again next year.
dang, sucky ending, hopefully next season will yield better results
I guess it's good to just end our misery early. Even if we'd won this series by some miracle, we wouldn't have gone any further. It's just sad and embarrassing that we lose in this fashion.
But the Mavs always play so well against the Spurs - and this time (with some help from the refs), they proved to be the better team. Enjoy your 1st Round Championship Mavs fans - cuz that's all there's going to be!
Charles Barkly just called our team old lol
We are old - and that's a big part of the problem. Pop loves the old guys and refuses to play the few young uns we have!
He called the bench old...
He said he likes Bonner
I've never understood why people bother with FT stats. Nowhere does it say that each team needs to shoot the same number of FTs, or commit the same number of fouls for a game to be called correctly.
Watching the game, you could see the Spurs were getting called for endless touch fouls. To top it off, Terry jumps sideways into Hill, and gets the call. That's what stats don't tell. The refs were lame, but the Spurs' supporting cast was lamer.
Agreed
Unless we make some significant moves this off-season were all going to watch TD's last year or two go down the drain just like this year did. Wake the up FO. you cheap bas s
IT was one sided but there were alot more things wrong then the refs...
I thought the officiating was terrible in game one, but it wasn't any better in game two and the Spurs won it going away. It's the only time since the first month of the season that the Spurs put forth championship caliber effort. Dirk got fouled by Erick Dampier at one point and the refs whistled the nearest Spur, so the calls were ridiculous, but the Mavericks were clearly the more aggressive team from the opening tip and nobody can blame the zebras for rewarding that effort.
The Spurs as a team showed absolutely zero fire in this game and seemed completely unprepared to mount a comeback in this series, so they were going to lose one way or another. They have nobody to blame but themselves.
I think the Spurs are making a switch to even years now, but they couldn't win in '08 because that would mean a repeat, which is unacceptable. So, they'll win in 2010 and 2012, followed by the end of the world later that year. Spurs finish on top. Fitting.
Exactly! I don't think I've ever seen a Spurs team play with so little intensity in an elimination game. Except for Timmy, Tony, Bruce and George, the team just didn't seem to care.
Maybe they got a good deal on a vacation package - but it was only good thru April 30th.
They definitely failed the nut-check.
I think Pop finally realized that relying on offense to win without a great defense will get him nowhere. Mason and Gooden looked bored as on the bench, but they really weren't going to help very much at that point.
Next year will be better.
more of barkley being a ing moron. he know about as much about the game today as stuart scott and all the other lebronophilesHe called the bench old...

Yes, they almost made me cry. They fought hard just to stay alive in the series. We knew we didn't have enough to win it all this year anyway. Well, I am very sad now. Hopefully, they come back stronger next year.

lol at you losers saying..."oh but Denver is gonna kick your ass". Ya'll got owned plain and simple...5 games...losing two at home. Even if Manu was there I would bet that the Mavs still win the series. Get over yourselves
Gee, I didn't see anyone saying that. How many pages back do we have to go? I guess you glossed over all the "Mavs are the better team" posts.lol at you losers saying..."oh but Denver is gonna kick your ass". Ya'll got owned plain and simple...5 games...losing two at home. Even if Manu was there I would bet that the Mavs still win the series. Get over yourselves
News flash: Your team's probably going to get assraped by the Nuggets. If you're going to swoop in here talking after you've been MIA all ing season then you deserve to know the truth. At least you'll disappear when it happens like the little festering you are.
You haven't posted since 6:00 last night...
