Quick Grades: Spurs @ Mavericks - Jan. 25

[Blake]

Manu was running pick and roll great.

The in between the legs pass to Blair should give him a B.

All other grades on target, imo

[racm]

Budenholzer said there weren't any health problems with Ginobili, who didn't play in the second half and was scoreless on 0-of-2 shooting in just 8 minutes. "We just decided to keep him out and keep him healthy," Budenholzer said.

I think he'll see more minutes with tomorrow being a SEGABABA

[Pauleta14]

Great win. It's strange that Pop's 1000th win will be a game he didn't coached.

Maybe you 're trolling, but...

If he didn't coached those games, it shouldn't count...?

[Brox6]

is that how the Spurs are? without TD and Pop then Manu playing only 8mins..

or Mavs just sucks big time this season..

[Bruno]

Maybe you 're trolling, but...

I'm not trolling. Pop will be credited with the win even if he didn't coached it and that will be his 1000th win (882 in the regular season and 118 in the playoffs). That's just how the NBA counts wins for head coaches.

[99 Problems]

Patty Mills- DNP Coaches decision. Must be some kind of undisclosed injury.

Baynes got Millsy minutes today. Did I say minutes.

ESPN Red Mamba interview loved it. Go the Red Mamba. Bonner is a champion.

[Slutter McGee]

Were the refs really that bad? I was drunk for the entire game so I didn't notice.

Bonner is the Spur's Scalabrine...

[chapnis]

Except Bonner is actually funny.

[Obstructed_View]

Somebody deserves a bad grade for letting half-rotting-corpse-half-amazing go Air Canada on them.

Funny that most players outside the BIG 3 get trashed after a slump (see Neal, Green, Splitter), but when it comes to Jack he always gets a pass because he will deliver in the playoffs supposedly. Jack has been absolutely atrocious the last games to the point that I think he might have an injury or something. If he plays like that in the playoffs, he will struggle to make a team getting the MIN next season.

[urunobili]

Why I have the sensation that Mills is a better option for backup PG than Nando when he's not

Horry used to coast during the RS, while Jack isn't in the same league as a playoffs player, he delivered many times in the past, including the 2012 playoffs.

Yeah I know and I don't disagree with you. But nobody can deny that Jack looks terrible and it has been like that for some time now. I wonder if he has a small injury bothering him or something because it doesn't look like the normal Jack, even knowing that he might coast a bit in the RS (not as much as Horry though).

He's recovering from a broken pinky and a sprained ankle, no thanks to Mayor Bloomberg.

Anyone else pissed that Vince Carter tip counted?

The Mavs looked pretty sucky to me. Basically it's _irk and a bunch of scrubs/old guys.

When your second option is O.J. Mayo...

Yep, I remember the day that when you tangled up the net it was a violation. That call was a micronism of the entire game concerning the refs.

Kobe Byant-Black Mamba
Brain Scalabrine-White Mamba
Matt Bonner-Red Mamba

Yeah, you can't touch the ball while your hand is in the net. That is 101

I actually thought their D was good, just we were carving them up.

I agree with you, but Jax launched three point daggers against the Hornicans and looked fine, then he looked lost on the same court. The kind of inconsistent play he is producing is more like a broken hearted teen, or maybe he caught a glimpse of something fine in the crowd?

[TwoHandJam]

Exactly. There was no grey area on that play whatsoever. What about Parker's lack of foul calls getting to the rim? The state of officiating in the league is as bad as it's ever been.
