seriously ducks, everybody has bad games, even Parker, you don't have to ing defend his honor
No Parker was not sick, he was just awful !I think it was probably a combination of things... He likes tearing Kidd apart and he didn't do that. The Spurs (and him particularly) played like crap. Pop probably ripped him during and after the game. And he is a little sick (Manu is spreading his illness around).

I didn't say that Parker being sick was why he played bad. He just played bad. I was explaining the many reasons why he sounded so out of it in the postgame interview.
Encouraging, but most of that is major suckage from The Nutpuncher.
ducks just can't stand the thought that Parker didn't have a MUEY BEUNO game without some outside influence
Rescued by Dice and the young guys. Dallas is a challenge for us even without Dirk, but we made it harder than it needed to be. Defense held 'em to 18 in the 3rd but we didn't put enough pressure on their D, settled for Js too often.
Pop too scared I guess to give any of Bonner's 25 and Blair's 12 ineffective minutes to Splitter. I don't see the rationale of not giving Splitter a look-see tonight.
Personally I hope Pop doesn't go away from feeding Richard jefferson the ball.
You read tweets during games where scouts are saying "the Spurs don't run hardly 1 play for him all game" IMO, this is a mistake. During times during the second and 4th quarter when the offense seems to stall, I think Iso for Jefferson would be helpful.
Have no clue why there are no plays run for Jefferson.
Because Bonner is quicker on the perimeter than Splitter is.
Also with the Mavericks running zone, Bonner when they ran pick and rolls with Manu and Dyess was keeping a defender high at the 3.
Same could be said of Ginobili fans.
It goes both ways.
Even though Jefferson had a horrible 3 quarters, I like that he didn't just give up on shooting the ball and allow it to effect the rest of his game. He played much better in the fourth, and he actually seems like he could be pretty clutch. He always has strong fourth quarters.
And the team played kinda crummy, but it was good to see us out rebound them so thoroughly on the boards. Rebounds probably saved the game for us.
Kidd came out with a bit of a chip on his shoulder. He owned TP in the 1st.
Like the other games, this is a game of 4 teams. The starters were about even, probably a tilt to the Mavs. The bench leaned heavily to the Spurs. Other than Terry who didn't get going until (too) late, they don't have a good bench. In the soup mix that is those two bench teams mixed with some starters, I think the bench players of Hill and Neal kept us in it, not just with offense but with hustle and just outright aggression on both ends.
I was glad to see Blair get yanked, but wish the Spurs would have upped the lead to 25 or more so Blair could get back in it. I think he would have done great against that second squad.
I think the zone had some to do with it. Man to man we can run some back screens and get RJ some jumpers, alley-oop and threes. Attacking the zone though, it was mostly high pick and roll and little ball movement. I'm sure we'll execute better next game when we play against a man to
man defense.
i don't know whether Manu has lost a step and so now doesn't drive as much or if he's is trying to save his legs for the playoffs. obviously, i hope it's the latter. the sample size of him driving is too small to say if it's the former.
Go away from it? I don't recall Pop ever really feeding RJ the ball. RJ gets a couple plays a game, the rest is hustle and put back or blown play stuff.
he owned many of our small guards tonight in the low block and fluking his shots
and fck parker with that weak ass tim duncan layup attempt gettin blocked from kidd, making him turn back time...
The Mavs only got to the line 15 times, yay!
Can we get a suicide watch set up for ducks please?
That's easily doubled with Dirk in the mix.
The beginning of the third he seemed to be calling RJ's number to get him going.
As deep as we are, it's nice to survive sub-par games by our most consistent players or stars. We just keep winning.
Against the Lakers, Tim was trash. Tonight it was Tony who didn't play well. This is absolutely awesome and great experience for our role players. The most consistent player this year, game in and game out (Whatever that means) has been George Hill.
Tim is cruising this ride to the playoffs. It's just weird seeing him post below- average to bad numbers or ride the pine for such long periods.
Double double tonight too, in his cruising
Patience grasshopper. Let Neal continue to evolve. Hes doing great right now.
Quit stuttering.
Ok, I thought you were referring to the season, not just this one game.
I don't think Pop is going to start running plays for RJ suddenly. Why change the system unless it doesn't work?
