Game Thread: Spurs @ Mavs -- Fri. (2/5) - 8:30PM CST (4:30AM Riga Time)

Bball gods are with us after Manu lost a testicle. That Zaza pull could've ended Kawhi's season, or at least would've ed his shooting up

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Also... Cavs lost at home


Spurs back up to 6 games ahead of them. They have the tiebreaker if opposing conference records are the same, though, since their margin of victory over us was higher in the series.

see response to Cry Havoc.

It's waaaaay more than what he did to West

West is the . nice to finally have a Spur who will get in someone's face and isn't afraid to stick up for his teammates

Modern day Kevin Willis

Spurs 62, Mavs 26 at the half. That breaks Dallas' record for largest halftime deficit (35 vs. Kings in 1992).... http://es.pn/1PYRwQ6

The Spurs have held the Mavs to the fewest points over a half (26) that they've scored in franchise history

[EVAY]

Seriously we can't afford an injury... lets keep it nice...

Can't 'keep it nice' if only one team is 'playing nice'. Dallas has a well-earned long reputation for dirty tactics in games, from their guards to their big men. It appears to be part of their culture, and I like our team refusing to take it. Kawhi could have had his arm broken on that play earlier, and Pachulia was absolutely going after West's face.

This is the kind of time I'd like Baynes to still be around just to throw his body into some folks.

[TDfan2007]

This has been an incredible performance. Our guys are locked in and executing beautifully on both ends.

[SAGirl]

Then how do you suggest we take out Pachyderm out?

Since the refs won't?

not sure, Boban?

[Old School 44]

Zaza nearly tore Kawhi's arm off, tried to grab LMA 's ankles and popped West on the head with an elbow. made got

Time to put in Boban for the stare down.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I hope someone takes Zaza's legs out from under him when he goes up in the air. that trash, get him the off the court one way or another.

Or, Vladimir Putin could just take Georgia back.

[vander]

I would really love it if NBA games had an optional audio stream with no broadcasters

[Kawhitstorm]

David West vs. Zaza Pachulia in a brawl would probably draw decent ratings on ESPN.

Boban/West tag-team would crush Zaza/Meijri

[Benoit]

Wow Spurs look really impressive and dominant

They would have a really good shot to win the championship in almost any other season

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Modern day Kevin Willis

yes. Or massenburg

[Kawhitstorm]

Time to put in Boban for the stare down.

They are probably salty b/c of that....

[SAGirl]

huh?

I didn't see the play very well until it was replayed..... jumped my blabbermouth boys....

[TheGreatYacht]

Someone fell on Kawhi's legs earlier as well, it was a foul. Was it Zaza as well?

[r0drig0lac]

When is the David West jersey retirement. Give that man his money back! Make him sign an extension at halftime

[RD2191]

Hopefully the 2nd half isn't a letdown.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Ok.

W

Next up...

108-93 tomorrow night against Lakers

[sasaint]

Then how do you suggest we take Pachyderm out?

Since the refs won't?

Yep, refs should have tossed him.

[Kawhitstorm]

Wow Spurs look really impressive and dominant

They would be the favorites to win the championship in almost any other season

New update: Worriers haven't won in San Antonio since 97 & the Worriers haven't beaten the Spurs with their starting 5 this season. BYE!

[ElNono]

Wow Spurs look really impressive and dominant

They would have a really good shot to win the championship in almost any other season

Lakers looks like though... they would have a really good shot at the #1 pick if the Sixers didn't outtank them...

[Horry Hipcheck]

For reference: Philadelphia managed 29 points in the first half in the game in which the Spurs rested starters and still won by 51.
