2014 NBA Playoffs - Round 1, Game 7 - Mavs @ Spurs

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

What a ing incredible first half. Let's get it going again after half!!

[timtonymanu]

Enough time for the Mavs to make a comeback. That missed free throw by Parker was a momentum killer.

Still, a dominant 1st half. It will be a lot uglier in the 2nd half so the Spurs have to stay focused.

Trade Belli for Neal in the off-season please!

[DatBoyGood]

Now. Are they going to let Dallas back into this game or are gonna keep going Ham.

[Capster]

Nice half!!!!! All you Parker haters BITE ME!!!!

[TE]

belinelli in, dallas makes a run..

Dude I cannot believe how much you got for calling this all season long. My apologies tbh

[Uriel]

Tony looks exhausted, tbh.

We've got a few calls but the Mavs hack a LOT on layups to "prevent easy baskets", and they have also gotten away with a couple kicked balls that they got steals on too.

Tbh, have any of Splitter's or Parker's FTAs all series NOT been on hard fouls or hacking fouls? Most of Duncan's were off hacks and wrap ups too. They foul on purpose, we almost never foul. Of course we will get more calls in general, but no one on the Spurs are getting these ticky tack calls all game like Ellis has gotten all series imo.

We're up big because we're shooting 70%, not because of the refs.

I agree we've played an excellent game so far and even without the +6 or so FTA advantage we've been given we'd still be creaming dallas. It's just irritating and it feels dirty to receive OKC level officiating.

Granted, this is the norm for OKC which is ing amazing to think about

Like I thought calderon's foul on Parker wasn't really a foul near the beginning of the game. Patty Mills just leaned into Monta, that wasn't a foul. I think most if not all of Dirk's free throws should not have been awarded either. Tiago's played great defense on him and hasn't jumped on a single pump fake. Tiago's just standing there with his arms up.

Ellis got an awful ticky tack call against Boris in game 3 IIRC that was critical. Boris was called for a bull foul early on in this game also (the play where Boris threw his hands up like "what the did i do?!")

[SpurPadre]

Not a good finish to end the half. We've pissed away big leads before so still not over.

[Baam]

Belli in means a Mavs run right before half tbh

If he plays enough in the second half the Mavs come back to win it... It's astounding that Pop doesn't see it..

[Blizzardwizard]

Don't know why Harris was so wide open. Wish we'd play an entire half of concentrated basketball, but I can't really complain!

[313]

9-2 run by the Mavs there

[Crookshanks]

Okay guys - let's be positive and happy with this big lead and stop in at every little thing. You can jump off the cliff IF the Mavs come back in the 2nd half.

[Malik Hairston]

The Spurs are leading by 22 points, yet Belinelli is somehow -5..

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Actually our bull FTA advantage is probably more like +8-10.

[RD2191]

Still too close for comfort. 10-0 Mavs run and we're screwed.

[jkid12456]

I have a feeling pop just plays marco out of sympathy.

[100%duncan]

Now I get the Belinelli hate

[SpursOwn]

Good lord Belinelli is just the ing worst player I have ever seen.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Beli is -5 with 4 minutes of playing time.

[timtonymanu]

More tenacious, I agree. But Batum will bother him more imo.

Yeah actually, I expect a lot of Wes Matthews guarding Manu. A series with Portland is terrifying to think about. Spurs better close this out today.

[Brazil]

Parker had a great half but that last jumper was dumb, he has to keep up moving the ball.

[TDfan2007]

The Spurs are leading by 22 points, yet Belinelli is somehow -5..

He's playing shockingly bad defense.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Freakin pissed right now at Pop, that lineup was raping, keep that lineup in, put Green on Ellis, and don't let the Mavs go into halftime with a little bit of hope! Pisses me off Pop does that !
