All Mason should have been used for tonight was to hack-a-Damp, other than that...he shouldnt have been out there period.
5 Big Reasons why Spurs lost
Hill - 17 mins. not being healthy enough and being inserted in the lineup
Mason - 9 mins. horrible defense, horrible offense
RJ - 32 mins. other than rebounding? nothing
Bonner - 19 mins. only thing supposed to do...make shots, but didn't
Bogans - 16 mins. did you watch the game?
if any ONE of these guys would of showed up tonight...Spurs win.

I'm not exactly a huge Keith Bogans fan, but asking him to guard an all-star 7'0" Power forward just seems like an assignment that is destined to fail.
People keep saying the Mavs "only" won by 6. They only were favored by 4.
And, just to play devil's advocate, they were up 12 with 1:50 left before clearly giving up some easy baskets to avoid fouling (e.g., letting Parker drive to the hoop to make sure that he wouldn't make the shot and get the and-1 anyway). This wasn't one of those 6 point games where the winning team is up 2-3 with :30 seconds left and the losing team misses a shot or two and has to foul in desperation. The Mavs had it completely in the bag with ~3 minutes to go.
I don't agree with you timvp regarding Manu, he lost the ball 5 times allright, but he got 3 steals, they cancel each other.
His sloppiness on the offensive end was the reason we stayed in the game for 45 minutes. GET A Fff clue.
Everyone knew bonner would stiff.
More Blair and mcdyess more Garrett temple more Parker.
Other than that, Tim has to man up on the boards. Manu and others play smarter with the ball. Defensively? Not much else u can do when the calls are that tight but as others have said chase Kidd off the line, and double butler more..
RMJ's hacking skills are vastly underrated. he's not too rough, and not too gentle. he's found the right balance that comes from years of practice. he makes it look so easy.
3 steals isn't unusual for Manu but 5 turnovers is.
We tidy up a few things and it will be back on game 2!
Couldn't agree more and I fixed one thing.
Free Throws..Mavs had 34...subtract the intentional 12 from the hack-a-damp it was 22. Spurts had 14. If you guys are going to say an 8 fta discrepancy cost you the game you are done.
hmm, and he wasn't even hitting his shots...
The spurs got stops. They played sma ball a tiny bit. The lack of crashing the boars as usual against Dallas killed em.
Duncan IMO played a mediocre game. He's capable of alot better.
Pop didn't really have a choice to play Bogans after those calls on essferson
Exactly.
there were only 8 intentional fts you dumb
TURNOVERS TURNOVERS TURNOVERS. They would have won that game but the sloppy passing and lack of hustle on the boards killed them.
duncan played like crap in first quarter
manu 6 turnovers wtf
The one call out off all that pissed me off was the one on mcdyess in the 4th when he played Dirk perfectly and Dirk just flailed a bit and they call it. It's ing annoying annoying as F.
Go check the FT when teh hack a Damp was not yet in the game.
they had like 19 or 20 FTA and we had 3
IMO, Bonner looked re ed trying to defend Dirk, in the last 1/4.
The spurs shot 14fts because they played soft. They didn't drive they weren't agressive. Period. The refs were bad but the spurs lack of agression helped nothing.
which would be fine if Dirk wasn't getting to the line shooting turnaround jumpers
He played him perfectly. Bodied him up kept the hands straight up. Rip bonner for choking again that I agree with. Defensvely you can't fault him that much...
The spurs are obviously done then.
Giving up? Link to where I said he would come through offensively? Good luck.
