2010 Playoffs: Round 1, Game 1 - Spurs vs Mavs Game Blog

[dbestpro]

As bad as we have played, as bad as the game has been called and taking the Mavs best shot on the road we are only down 5 at the half.

[bigdog]

Spurs can't take care of the ball to save their lives and they're only down by 5 at the half. Come on, you can do this.

That was about as bad as you could play as a Spurs team. Lets hope the rust is gone and they can come with a smarter plan. I don't mind the strategy on Dirk right now, but he is just on fire. I don't think the Spurs should double him until the fourth.

I wish the refs would just let us play, man.

[Shastafarian]

That was a foul on Dirk

Stop whining homers

No, it wasn't.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Mason, I can't believe Pop put him in, the equivalent of Mason hitting one 3 in a playoff game is like Ginobili going off for 40.

The thing, as brutal as that half was, we're only down 5. I think we need to see a lot more Duncan/Ginobili/Parker together with McDyess in the 2nd half.

Hill is still rusty.

Mavs up 5 at the half

TD and Manu playing well but they need help. TP needs to play smarter on both ends.

Hill, Dice and RJ needs to step up. I won't mention Bonner because he's a lost cause

That was a foul on Dirk

Stop whining homers

in the preseason that is a foul but all he is doing is acting.

[Mr.Robinson]

Sorry but that was a foul. Mason sucks at d.

A 5 point deficit on the road at the half is not that bad


SPURS!!!!

He had his hand straight up.

[gospursgojas]

Pop better wake RJ and Hill the up

[lefty]

you mean Mason?

Yeah yeah Mason

Emotions emotions

[Amarelooms]

You literally can't breathe on Dirk. It's sad.

Dirk is the man dummy....one of the best players.... in Spurs should not even look at him the wrong way....respect son

[BillMc]

Pop needs to do a Phil Jackson and complain about the refs....

[timvp]

Mason's D at the end of that half was pretty damn good. Not much you can do when you are going up against the untouchable.

[sammy]

can't touch dirk guys!c'mon

If they are going to blow the whistle on us, then hard foul this bas ! Might as well make sure the foul is hard!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

just because dirk hanged for a sec, the refs called a foul

[benefactor]

Down by only 5, but someone else is going to have to step up for the Spurs to have a chance. They are seriously overmatched in the role player department right now.

[RedRaider]

looks like dirk wants a le bad.

[itzsoweezee]

What a ing joke . . . NBA refs

[NewJerSpur]

TP and GH have to start getting into the paint....the Mavs aren't a great perimeter defensive teams and will give you the lane if you can turn the corner on that trap.

[TampaDude]

If the Spurs are gonna foul Dirk it's time to start hammering the guy and make him feel it. They need a couple of Dennis Rodman type fouls on him to get him out of his rhythm lol.

WERD...if Mason is gonna get whistled anyway, he should go ahead and clobber Dirk.

[roycrikside]

Better job of 3 pt defense in that quarter. Big three playing well. Still gotta clean up turnovers, dumb fouls, rebounding. I like our defense in the half court for the most part. Dirk can't make all those shots the whole game, can he?

Hill, Bonner, Jefferson M.I.A. We need one of them at least to give us 10 points in this half to win.

[LnGrrrR]

ing refs bailing out the Dork! I am so sick of this ! Mason did good D and the Dork leaned into him and they blow the whistle! Shameful! What a ing travesty!

Its not really bailing him out if he makes the shot...

[TDfan2007]

Death

Taxes

Spurs getting Bukkaked by Dirk.

[VBM]

ing Manu Ginobili.

That's like the third shot he's hit that was complete bull . I don't care what you say, that guy wouldn't hit those same shots again if he took them five ing times.

That's Suns' fan take most of the time. We have to assume Dirk is going to kills us...he always has. We've got to shut down the other guys to have a chance.
