Game Blog: 1/5/12 - Spurs vs. Mavericks

[timtonymanu]

Only 29 points for Dallas at the half? Shocking.

[Josepatches_]

I seriously believe Mavs are tanking this year. They can't play worse

[Fireball]

just 3 TOs ...

"I thought we moved the ball really well on offense and didn't turn it over, and it helps when you make some shots"

[Fireball]

RJ is +34

[loveforthegame]

The Mavs will come out determined to start the 2nd half. I don't see them giving up this game just yet.

The Spurs have to be ready for the run and keep up the intensity.

[WeNeedLength]

Winning Mavs is just winning the Wizards, nothing to celebrate about.

Wtf? lol. I know what you meant but please learn the english language a little more..

[z0sa]

[lefty]

RJ is +34

Getting Dirk to tank is like getting any other superstar to tank, they have limited years to play. Dirk doesn't want to tank.

Dirk hasn't been motivated since the big high, needs something to get him going. He looks really soft.

Mavs are ice ing cold in this game.

And I don't think we are hot so much as the Mavericks are just leaving us WIDE FREAKING OPEN. And thank god we're shoving it in their ty D playing faces that you cannot leave these guys that open.

Gary Neal set the tone for this game on the opening possession.

NEAL
WITH
IT

[The ADMIRAL 50]

Dirk 1-6, 0-2 from 3, 0-1 FT with nine sec left in the half

Edit: @ the half.

We have been playing lights out to say the least, but Dirk being ice cold has been a huge part of this game. Our defense on him has been solid but not really particularly good even. To be honest he really has just been missing shots, even the one technical free throw.

[DMC]

Why can't we just use the points we need to win and save the rest for later?

[DMC]

It's been the theme thus far in the league that one team is ice cold and the other is red hot. Weird start.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

oh yeah, we have a new Jason Terry killer in Danny Green.

That was a primary reason I hated getting rid of George Hill

exactly

I was just saying the same thing to my friend about that Neal shot, he absolutely set the tone.

And I second the first comment as well. The Mavs are just playing all around ty basketball; No defense, and can't hit a got dammed thing.

Sure but......

[GSH]

Both teams played hard.

I choked iced tea out my nose.

[Fireball]

So is Duncan

NBA TV Companion has Timmy with a +19

[8FOR!3]

He's never been this old against us.

yeah but that's the case every time we play them...

[Fireball]

Danny Green Peace > Metta World Peace

WTF? Terry was getting past Green at will.

Miami is up by 10 in Atlanta.

[Bill_Brasky]

Damn, just got home. Are the Mavs tired or what? 29 points is pretty embarrassing.

Looks like the 3's have been falling, but glad to see it seems like we've been playing D too.
