Come on spur fans stay classy.
This is why you guys lost.
1. Dirk played like MVP dirk. Tim played like all-star Tim but not HOF Tim.
2. Caron played like like all-star Caron. RJ played like his boyfriend today ...
3. Marion didnt play great but he played better than RJ.
4. RJ shot as well as JET but TODAY that was NOT a good thing.
Moral victories:
Parker looked good.
Tim looked spry.
Manu was strong not AMAZING but strong.
Areas of concern:
- Well dirk will miss more than 2 shots a game but you guys have no one to matchup well with him.
- You guys wasted a strong effort from the BIg 3
- RJ may not play much better ..
- JET will not suck all series ....
What was it . like 24 points off of 17 Spurs TOs?
The third quarter was bull . the refs.
If we're short a guard put in Temple not Mason... I know Pop says the playoffs are for players "confident in what they are doing" but really Mason has very little confidence left...
Soo many BS fouls, and of course Dirk flops like a fish all night. His FT percentage and FG percentage were great though. We started playing really lousy toward the end of the fourth quarter, but I know we're going to win this series. And Ginobli and Duncan played well.
Damn, 34-14 in FTs is a ridiculous disparity, even if the Spurs intentionally fouled a few times. WTF.
But mostly, Spurs need to make Dirk work more and shut down Caron Butler. They can live with Dirk scoring 30+ pts every night if no one else is scoring 20. We can shut down Butler and make Dirk work harder. And we will. I expect us to come back strong in Game 2, and I expect the FTs to be much more even. Perhaps even some make up calls, that would be nice.

Cant blame Refs. Tim was great on offense he and Manu ...
But HOF Tim gives you 30 and 20
Meh just game 1, Spurs still gonna win this .
Tim played harder than Dirk, just didn't get the "MVP" treatment by the refs.
Not only is Dirk really good but the refs give him free throws when the Mavs lose a lead.
if you fart near Dirka Dirka its a technical
Line was Dallas -4. So, no.
Well, you can't feel too bad about this loss. The FT disparity is ing infuriating, but some of this can be corrected. Pop needs to get his head out from under his vagina and make some smart decisions next game. Most of the TOs were mental mistakes and not the result of Mavs defense. A loss by 6 when you consider the officiating, mental mistakes, and piss poor rotation, isn't as bad as it seems. No more bonner, play blair. He had 26/20 the other night. Pop should know better by now than to let his fear of rookies this team over.
Reading these boards is almost better than watching the game.
Almost.
it's called sarcasm
Not surprised we lost......6 points??
Hmmm...I had a feeling Spurs would lose but I was thinking double digits.....not going to get too upset......there's Game 2....now if we lose that one, then I may start to get a tad antsy but........
BTW, Mavs owned the season series against the Spurs correct?
In terms of effort, I find nothing laughable about that....he just didn't do as good of an acting job.
I'm not trying to downplay Dirk's offensive skillset, he hit some tough shots, but guys weren't allowed to defend him like the Mavs were TD.
Damp shot 12 fts. Most of those were intentional fouls. Take those out and it doesn't look as bad.
Mavs did a good job attacking the rim. Especially Butler and Dirk.
Good win.
