Mahinmi looked great when Eduardo Najera was the tallest guy the mavs had on the court.
Exactly.

Pop coached a terrible game. But when you have a team like the Spurs, you have to resort to gimmicks in order to win series sometimes. Lets see how it works out.
wrong! - gives Dallas momentum and big 3 looked pretty tired out there tonight. Stop believing in strategy - Spurs are extremely fortunate to be up 3-2. If the lose game 6, series is over - Dallas wins dumbass.
Blair's energy (and Dice's) got us going in the 3rd quarter of Game 4, which is what we seemed to be lacking from the onstart of this game.
I'm not denying the starters didn't play well, or much of the team for that matter, but we might have been able to use more of the core lineup when Dallas went small and just hoped they established more of a rhythm.
looked kind of good earlier against Haywood too - nice try, keep believing that he sucks and boner is a good player that spreads the defense. problem is that boner often spreads his legs on defense.
Mahinmi sucks. Bonner sucks too, but not as bad as Ian does.
nope - he doesn't; try again
at least i'll will all my vbookie money since i called the Spurs in 6.

Wake me up when Mahinmi plays a productive, meaningful playoff minute against someone.
are you saying he didn't tonight? next time, watch the game before you make a dumbass comment like that
lmao. your probably one of the ones saying the spurs had no chance in the beginning of the playoffs anyway. You really thought the spurs were going to go up to Dallas and knock off the 2 seed in there arena in 5 games? come on man... what the did you expect tonight? and how you think pop lost the game is totally moronic. Everyone knew this was going to game 6 even if they didn't want to admit it.
Manu looked tired or hurt, when he turns it over like that something's usually wrong with him, I just hope he is worn out but his game has been declining since the end of the season, and Tim's in the last 2. Tony seems to be coming on, but still all three of them made some boneheaded plays. what can Pop do? These are your horses, the ones that got you this far, sit them down and let them stew, maybe they will come out with more energy next time. Anyway, this team reminds me of the 03 team in so many ways, including lackluster games like these. I hope the similiarity extends to the finals.
two of those early fouls came from a collapse of defense rotation from other players and him not giving dallas an easy bucket near the glass. Which is the right play on his part. Nothing to be done by that but yell at your other man for screwing up his assignment.
Overall I don't think this loss was any worse than losing Game 6 in the 2005 Finals...that was a shocker and one I would actually consider a momentum changer.
wow - I expect the Spurs to take advantage of a situation like they usually do - 7 and 1 in games where they're up 3-1. No, I didn't expect them to be up 3-1 and if any of you dumbasses say you did, you're straight up liars. Why I do know that's so? Because the Spurs have played like crap all season long and even though they've started to play well at the end, they're far from being consistent. Mavs are a pretty good team that's trying to gel themselves and if you give them an opportunity, they just might - that's why you play game 5 like it's game 7 and you don't roll boner out there in the first qtr ever, ever again.
This was the classic Spurs up 3-1 or 2-0 mailin performance, from the coach to the last guy at the end of the bench.
Whats with the level of aggression to people here. no need to be a jerk because you're upset about the game.
Thank you, but I did watch the game. I said meaningful minutes. Garbage time doesn't count. And all his minutes were definitely garbage time.
no agression towards people - just cartman. He's a fat little non-basketball playing nope-it-all that has a deep manlove for boner. makes watching boner fail in the playoffs even more frustrating because I keep hearing the excuse - "boner spreads the defense for timmy!"
ill give you that pop didnt coach the game like it was a game 7.... but it's not like our players played like it either. our guys pretty much gave them this game before the game even started. what good would it have done if we played duncan manu and tony 40+ minutes and still got beat.... because thats exactly what would have happened if we went down that road. Our guys were not ready to play... thats just how it was going to be tonight. The mavs were facing elimination at home and were not going to be eliminated at home in 5 games against a 7 seed. IMO im glad duncan and manu got less than 22 minutes of court time so we can see them fresh in game 6.
You knew this was going to happen. We all did... you need to stop acting like you're surprised.
stop pointing fingers....
proves my point - he actually made it in before garbage time. go look it up sonny boy and you'll see I'm right
so, you're not surprised the "big 3" have thrown 2 back to back sub-par games together? Sorry - but that's not good no matter how you try to spin it.
The spurs didn't look disappointed much with not getting the W here tonight. I do agree with the earlier poster about the ol' spurs 3-1, 2-0 series leads and coach to bench laying the egg mentality.
That isn't going down at Home. I'll tell you that much.
