Spurs vs. Mavs - Dec. 5 Game Blog

[THE SIXTH MAN]

start of the 3rd quarter. 49-42 mavs

[Russ]

Get physical? He's blowing his whistle at everything in sight! 6'6" Finley jostling for position with Dirk, and just because that 7-foot German vagina awkwardly flails his limbs like a pansy

You mean like a Panzer?

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Oh. Absolutely.

To be clear, I'm not pulling an officiating card and blaming our poor play on the refs - Spurs have to adjust. But we see this inconsistency in calls every ing time we see Salvatore, and it kills me.

agreed.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

despite the bad calls. Spurs need to play smarter basketball. They had a couple of bad turnovers in the first half. And any one not named manu and tony need to contribute.

those two missed wide open 3's by Barry killed me.


I was hoping finley would have some extra mojo for tonight's game b/c of the opponent, but no such luck there.

[slayermin]

Terry is way too comfortable playing in the AT&T Center. We need to close out him better and make him drive.

That Bass kid playing well.

[Russ]

Laura Green is a Mavs announcer now. Holy crap!

[THE SIXTH MAN]

I am liking Bass in that second quarter though.

bass was a good pick up for the mavs.

You really thought Finley would show?

[BeerIsGood!]

You guys have said shirt that I find to be pretty ridiculous but as a Mavs fan, I'll just get my ass chewed out if I try to defend it - BUT - I thought this one was a little crazy. If you lived in the Dallas community, you'd know he wasn't a POS off the court. Think what you want about him as a player, but he's a great community guy off the court.

Yea. /rant.


Anyway...as far as the game, Mavs look pretty bleek again. No shocker there. Spurs definitely have a shot at the game -- I'm surprised some of you would even question that.

He may do a lot of community work and that's great and all, but like I said I've seen him off the court and have seen him be a complete ass. May have just been a bad few days for him, but I'll definitely judge off of what my eyes have seen. I don't buy the media hype and "philanthropist" bs that the organization spouts for the any team, the Spurs or Mavs included.

Lol ... yeah like a sissy battle tank

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I think I'm going to have to revive mine and Mookie's plan to crowbar an archnemisis' shin bones till they break.

we had this plan in 2002 for Kobe Bryant now I think it will be geared against Devin Harris.

Terry

[Slippy]

terry should get kicked out .. Thats BS!!

[THE SIXTH MAN]

what the is terry's problem???????

[timvp]

Fvck Jason Terry.

[Sp Ginobili 20]

Wtf is up with the hardass fouls?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

$20 everyone on the Mavs boards are saying manu flopped somehow

[hitmanyr2k]

I love this game. It's like old school lol. Jason Terry again.

[Sp Ginobili 20]

Hopefully this is one of those hits that gets Manu to get going.

[~Sweetmelody~]

Jason Terry

[BeerIsGood!]

Right on cue Terry proves my point.

[Findog]

You don't know that. The fact that Terry likes holding balls should be what you're concerned about.

I just find this whole "If A hadn't happened, then B wouldn't have followed" rationalizations over the Manu foul amusing. Dallas still had to win the game in overtime. If you want to play the What If game, Terry's nutpunch in all likelihood prevented Dallas from sending you guys fishing in six. You won that game by five points and packed the lane against Harris. Terry wouldn't have allowed you to do that.

[hitmanyr2k]

Mavs homer announcers are acting like idiots.

[easjer]

Well, we have to turn off the game for a bit. I don't know how much longer I can go without meds and they knock me out.

I am now relying on you all to keep me updated on the game.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I'm not watching the game but by the box score I can assume this:

Ginobili was in the start up line which I find amusing. We count on Barry to bring something from the bench. Finley is on the bench. COuld this be the beginning of Fin being benched going forward? I've seen Pop taking advantage of opportunities like this before.

I can also assume we aren't stopping Terry on the 3 line which is as old as the world is. We can't let him fire that shot.

[SpursFanFirst]

tie game!
