2010 Playoffs: Round 1, Game 3 - Spurs vs Mavs Game Blog

[Warlord23]

Over the last 5:25 of the second quarter:
Spurs - 8 points
Barea - 8 points

George Hill needs to get his together too. That te al is INEXCUSABLE.

The technical was bull . It's no more than any contact that happens out there. It's playoff basketball. That isn't even called in the regular season

[GooberNuts]

George Hill needs to get his together too. That te al is INEXCUSABLE.

I don't really know why they called a tech on that though. Should've been a foul.

i say keep attacking the rim. force some fouls. step on their necks. eat burritos. something.

[lurker]

i think the mavs will come back and steal this one.

You're not supposed to be online during halftime.

[alchemist]

wtf are you talking about?

that Blair should give Tim some decent minutes

[Avitus1]

Manu will turn it on, Manu is coming....

[Chomag]

Decent D, 3 balls killed us, but our offense could have been a lot better in the 2nd quarter.

Too much dribbling, not enough ball movement and getter different players involved. That might bite us down the stretch.

Yep, I think TP started trying too hard at the end there. He needs to stay in the flow, to much dribbling.

[EmptyMan]

Seeing Avery up there helps put into perspective how long Duncan has been owning the league.

[NewJerSpur]

Pop is going to dig into their asses in the locker room. I fully expect us to come out aggressive and STAY that way.....with the exception of a couple of traditional lapses, lol.

[poop]

the best use for Bogans would be to send him in to stomp barea's nuts, that way we ensure both of them out of the series

[Ice009]

they weren't given dumbass they just took them out of desperation and made them sucks but the spurs have to nut up

The defense was not tight enough. they were at the end of the shot clock.

you get up on then and make them put the ball on the floor so the shot clock expires.

you don't give them room to shoot with a second or two left. they were given way too much room on both threes.

Even though the Bear three was desperation you can still get up on him and make him put it on the floor.

[m33p0]

it`s me, or Parker is really ballhoging the ball too much

its you. mavs are playing the passing lanes whenever he drives.

[benefactor]

Manu will get it rolling in the second half.

[Shastafarian]

that Blair should give Tim some decent minutes

What ultimatum are you talking about?

[Mr.Robinson]

Hopefully that ty ending will help the spurs become more focused now in the 2nd half.

Guy hit the long 3. Can't be mad at that. You know Pop ate GHill up by now.

[Blackjack]

The Spurs are going to have to hit a 3 at some point. 0-2 and leaving points at the line's why this thing is only a 3 point game.

They're shooting better, up on the boards and plus 5 in turnovers, they've just got to swing that ball and knock down some shots; starting the third with a decent run would be more than welcome (and enough of these garbage shots from the Mavs -- it's happening too often for them to even be called garbage anymore).

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I sure hope fatigue does not start to work against us this game

So far Kidd looks very frustrated by the full court pressure from Hill.

[biziofromdowntown]

Put Bogans on him in bully mode.

[BanditHiro]

I don't really know why they called a tech on that though. Should've been a foul.

it was during a dead ball situation. stupid play

[NewJerSpur]

Tim has to stop taking fadeaways at the side of the basket and take Damp and Haywood downlow.

that was a broken play, tough shot made by that little bas .

[Ice009]

Very disappointed in Blair, this guy gave an ultimatum to the Spurs last summer, was mad about a bonus check from Nike at the All-Star game and when he gets a chance to do something where the big bucks will come he's ghost.

What ultimatum? Why even bring the Nike thing up?

Blair doesn't give a about that. he cares about winning. He is trying out there, but he's maybe trying too hard and making silly mistakes. I still want Blair out there more than Bonner.

[biziofromdowntown]

Manu time is coming

[Mr.Robinson]

Manu will turn it on, Manu is coming....

We need some threes from him. Once he does that it opens up his driving game.
