Game 79: Spurs @ Mavericks, April 10, 2014, 7:00 CT *Official Game Thread

Thank you Mills and Kawhi, Marcos defense and Manus turnovers were almost too much to overcome, but you guys did it.

[timtonymanu]

Holy , Dallas is gonna get rocked if they see the Spurs in the playoffs.

I definitely would prefer Grizzlies/Mavs over your team. I think we can take Phoenix but Phoenix is young and can be pests in a series.

[Fireball]

After that rough start to the season, it's great to see Leonard dominating and close to all-star level.

If All-Star credentials were about two-way abilities, the way he is playing since his injury he would be an All-Star

[Capt Bringdown]

Dazzling stat line by Leonard tonight. What a stud.

[Splits]

Gino with a monster makeup 4th.

[SupremeGuy]

You just need to calm down.

I refuse.

@ getting Kawhi for George Hill

Love Kawhi

[RD2191]

youre easily the worst poster in this forum when it comes to game threads tbh..
overreact to every single call or missed basket

a big reason I stay away from gamethreads

You're easily the biggest on this site, which is the reason I enjoy pissing people off.

So will the Suns, tbh.

[timtonymanu]

I would rather see Nando's unworn and abandoned jersey instead of Joseph on the court.

[EVAY]

You know guys, I bet all of us would call Kawhi and Mills as the heroes tonight.

And I would too.

However,….Kawhi was shooting only 5 of 14 tonight, and Mills was 9 of 25!!

If tony had those numbers he would be accused of being a bad teammate.

[loveforthegame]

Blair's revenge.

[thiste]

As soon as Thiago scored 8, I knew we had won.

No stress whatsoever.

[timtonymanu]

@ getting Kawhi for George Hill

Love Kawhi

@ it being a trade that worked out for both teams

[timtonymanu]

Blair's revenge.

0-4

Could be the same in the playoffs

[Xylus]

So will the Suns, tbh.

I think we match up better with the Spurs than the Mavs do, but I guess we'll see tomorrow night.

You're taking this way too far. CoJo played 8 minutes and no turnover on 0 shot attempts. He also went 3-4 from the line. Don't blame CoJo for Manu and Marcos mistakes.

tomorrow will give us no clues ... Duncan will certainly sit after playing that many minutes tonight ... although Pop rarely does it at home

[lofds]

39 mins for Duncan?! No way he's playing tomorrow. Can't believe my eyes with that.

[kjhip1]

This plays perfectly for the suns! Spurs d-league mañana! Good game one more to clinch. Now if okc loses do we rest and play starters sparingly but just enough to get some time in?

[RD2191]

Mills taking 25 shots is the reason this team probably isn't going too far in the playoffs. A backup PG should never have more shot attempts than Kawhi Leonard.

[Fireball]

Good night ... one win to go

[DPG21920]

It sucks LAC couldn't take care of business last night vs OKC. Would have everything wrapped up. Now Spurs have choices.

[MI21]

I think we match up better with the Spurs than the Mavs do, but I guess we'll see tomorrow night.

Free win tomorrow for the Suns, no Parker or Duncan almost guaranteed.

Bledsoe and Dragic will tear that without the interior defense. Spurs would have to be extremely hot to get up and win that one.

You've got to take into account that TP is out.
