Play Baynes!

Everyone should get an F except Manu, and he shouldn't get an A. His turnovers were a big contributor to the problem. Tim Duncan was playing well, and I think his final statline was 4/5 or something. He just didn't get touches. Everyone else was a ghost out there. Invisible on both sides of the court.

Pop should get a Z for his performance. Just pitiful. The fact that Jeff Ayers got important minutes, and some of the other lineups Pop put out there, it was nightmarish...

That said, we still win in five. We had the best road record in the league during the RS, and the mavs werent that great of a home team. So we should take both games in Dallas.

What have you seen during the last two games that leads you to think we will take both games in Dallas? Like others have stated aside from Timmy carrying us to a game 1 victory/Dallas missing every shot in the 4th qtr, we really should be down 0-2.

Seems that this loss is less about DAL "figuring the Spurs out" and more about the fact that almost everyone on the Spurs was cold as ice. Not too worried about the series.

it wasn't like that at all tbh

How about Boris Diaw? 0 rebounds in 17 minutes, two turnovers. Pathetic performance. I think we're back to Diaw 0.5 now. Our French players aren't performing..............

And he had a grand total of two rebounds in 23 minutes in game one. Dominating on the boards.

Same thing that happened last year against Golden State. People were making these exact same arguments, and then Pop made the necessary adjustments, and we won the series in 6. If go back to Dallas down 1-3, then I'll be worried.

This. If Pop had a backbone, instead of just pretending to have one, he would have RUN THE ENTIRE SPURS TEAM INTO THE GROUND DOING SUICIDES, RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THE HOME CROWD AFTER THE GAME. Proving pathetic effort doesn't go unpunished.

But of course, Pop is all bark, and no bite.

Per par.
