Pop is a freakin genius!

Esta Muy Feo El Vato!!!

Crawford and Rush were going to make sure the Spurs didn't win this one anyway, so at least this way...

The starters got some rest and then bench got some minutes.
It was a good night for the shooting to be stone-cold.
Dallas got their butt-hurt adrenaline used up.
We got a good (albeit painful) look at their adjustments.
Pop got a jab in at the NBA by giving them another slow boring game full of scrubs.

If the fix is in anyway, and it was (it just wasn't needed), that's the way to do it.

This reminds me of the scene in Monty Python where King Arthur has cut the black knights arms and legs off and he's bleeding on stumps on the ground. He calls out to King Arthur. Black Knight, "come back you and fight you bloody sissy". Arthur, "You've got no arms and no legs" Black Knight, "It's just a flesh wound". Arthur "exasperated and walking away". Black Knight, "I'll bite your legs off".

[DubMcDub]

takes our starters our for good with 6 minutes to go in the 3rd.

game 4 coming up in less than 48 hours. Mavs starters still playing at least until 4th quarter.

Spurs come in fresh in game 4 and take the game.




will make sure to bump this after game 4

Kidd - 27 minutes
Dampier - 22 minutes
Dirk - 26 minutes
Howard - 26 minutes
Terry - 23 Minutes

You're right, the Mavs are going to be EXHAUSTED on Saturday.

Agree. Very disappointed and unhappy with the loss but I can't doubt my team. I love and respect them too much. Hope we will win game 4, 5, and 6 for the series.

Wonder why the league still keeps assigning Crawford and Rush (can anyone tell me what the history we had with Rush?) for Spurs games? I know they need a job but why don't they ref other games, not Spurs'.

[spurtech09]

yeah maybe this was a tanked game...knowing that one of the dallas mavs players was going to try hurting tony parker at some point....I had a funny feeling about this game....players that smoke pot....the refs...that crazy mark cuban ...lol...spurs will win saturday....believe

[Shank]

You're all ed in the head. Enjoy your asswhippin' tonight AND on Saturday afternoon for that team of pussified old farts.

[peskypesky]

Pop is a genius !!

With Crawford and Rush he knew Spurs have no chances to win it, so he decided to tank this game. Mavs now thinking about 2nd round series, and Spurs will use it to win g4 and retake HCA

that's exactly what i think.

nah, this is more like Ali against Foreman in Zaire in 1974.

You're a ing re if you think the officials had anything to do with the blowout tonight.

you're not getting it. i'm not saying the officials were the reason for the blowout. i'm saying that pop told his guys not to kill themselves trying to win tonight because the odds were too stacked against them. better to save energy and fire for Game 4 when the odds won't be quite as stacked.

What odds? Playing a game on the road after just humiliating the same opponent 2 nights before? What are you - the Utah Jazz now?

Yes, you are not getting it! No more explanation. It's a waste of time.

Explain, please, oh high and mighty intelligent one. Tell us all how Pop and the Spurs intentionally threw a game over a team they'd just waxed 2 nights before. That same team that was looking like dumbasses in the media since their loss and was reverting back to their "choker" and "soft" labels. The same team that would be completely demoralized and finished if the Spurs had beaten them tonight.

Please, do tell me how and why the Spurs would intentionally lose this game. They got their ing asses curbstomped tonight. You understand that happens, right? It's ok to give credit to the other team, .

we've told you like 20 times but you're so ing dense you don't get it. you don't even get that you don't get it.

[fusionjazzman72]

I know what I'm ing doing

Yes apparently you do since Bowen was on Barea tonight like game 2

[Shank]

we've told you like 20 times but you're so ing dense you don't get it. you don't even get that you don't get it.

Yeah, I'm the one looking like the idiot in all this. How about this? How about you start a entirely new thread with your bull "tank" theory and see how your fellow Spurs fans mock and ridicule your dumb ass? Got the balls to do that, princess?

[urunobili]

nothing new to see... Pop doing his thing

[it's me]

Yes apparently you do since Bowen was on Barea tonight like game 2

Spurs aren’t done yet…. but how sad … two years ago Bowen was guarding Lebron James, one year ago he was guarding Bryant…. Now we have to use our best defensive player on a scrub like Barea??????? WTF? What’s wrong with Tony? Now even people claiming it’s his team but can’t guard freaking Barea???? I’m disappointed.

If we can manage to keep Pop away from the local wine cellars, we might have a chance.

[silverblackfan]

I do think that Pop was aware that this first round game was on NBATV with a short time between 3 & 4 and probably wanted to send another "F*ck You, Stern" message. Surprising during a playoff game, but so is putting the game on NBATV and assigning Crawford and Rush to the game in Dallas.
