Who guards Bennette Salvitore if we get him in Game 3?
I don't know. To me, Manu looks like something is wrong with him. Because they aren't calling plays for him and the stretches of minutes he's in the game gets shorter and shorter. I don't know if he's hurt or in a funk or what. But he's only had one really good playoff game so far .. that's not good enough.
Officiating was horrible but want to see the spurs improve what they can control before blaming the refs for anything.
I think it's hilarious how AJ and Cube about refs after Game 1 and then we get raped by the ing stripes in Game 2. And right after Stern tried to wrestle HCA away from us with his bull scheduling. This is some total execute order 66 if I ever seen it.
It was also nice of the entire team minus Duncan to take the goddamn night off. Maybe the extra day of rest will help us out when we rout Mavs by 38 on Saturday.
I don't know if fatigue was a factor - 4 games in one week (2 in a 36 hour span) but from what I saw, fatigue did play a role. the next 3.5 days should come in handy.
But give the Mavs credit, they did win 60 games this season. What will chop my ass is that all the pundits will begin to cross out the Spurs and go with the shee-shee pick of the Mavericks in the Finals.
But you'll hear that this didn't effect the game whatsoever.
Look, either Rasho or Nazr need to start. It's as simple as that. This small ball is the #1 problem with this team right now. It's not their system, not how this team was built, not the system the players were recruited for, and not the defense any of them is familiar with.
Tim Duncan is trying like to hold down the fort in the paint, but Pop won't give him any help over 6'6".
If Pop doesn't shuck small ball, this series and our season is over.
either ALS or extortion, there's no other possible explaination.
BTW, I agree on Avery. Between his crying about the bear hugs and running up the score tonight, him. Hopefully every Spurs fan got the message tonight, the love affair should be over.
It's killed or be killed, and it's time to roast the cajun.
There's a bunch of other stuff ..
Duncan's 3rd foul (the offensive one).
Jason Terry traveling more than a salesman, etc.
But very early in the game, I thought fouls were going the Spurs way that weren't right. I'm not blaming this game on the refs at all .. but the officiating wasn't good at all.
We could talk about all the foul calls both in this game and in game 1 that went the Spurs way, but I wouldn't want to rain on your parade.
Acting like ref inconsistencies don't even out in the long-run is stupid. They do.
I'm glad some of the more reasonable and intelligent people (Kori, 2cents, etc.) here don't resort to incessant ing about how the refs lost you the game.
What the ? He's hurt. Can't you see that? Are you blind? He can't even jump. If he can't jump and he can't run as fast, he's not the same guy. Give him an offseason to heal up and he'll be fine.
Trading him would be the most re ed move in the history of the franchise. Win or lose (mostly win) he's represented us with class and dignity. He never makes excuses for his play and never calls out anybody.
Were you asking to trade Tim too when he was playing poorly most of the year because of his injury?
i had to watch the game with a mavs fan. when Manu got elbowed and the Reggie was talking . my uncle was just laughing i threw my dogs toy at his mouth.i felt better
This might be the worst take in the history of this forum. Stupid for even you, Tpark.If Ginobili doesn't step it up.
Im honestly open to trade talks involving him this offseason.
Okay, so go back to Rasho or Nazr .. who's guarding Dirk and who's guarding Howard?
Do you move Bowen off Dirk and let him guard Howard and then risk Tim getting in foul trouble trying to guard Dirk?
maybe its the curse of the huge contract ......seems to happen sometimes
Avery sucks
his impression on me is he thinks the game is about him though he doesn't say it. i mean off that tirade he did last year during the playoffs was completely uncalled for
I never liked Avery. He's overrated.
You know what though? As much as I hated this game, I am still optimistic about the next one.
When we play our game, we can take Dallas. The Spurs are going to get some rest, tweak some things, and come back with a vengenace on Saturday. Dallas is dead if they get at all comfortable.
There were ALOT of questionable calls, but the refs didnt beat us, the mavs did.
Spurs took alot of shots from the outside and just didnt attack the basket enough, like the mavricks did.
There was hardly any ball movement in the game, and calls made by the officals got the best of them. Whinning is not gonna have the officals have calls going your way.
Spurs have 4 days to regroup, recover and retake command.
I hate seening this forum complaining about the officals, but I guess those are the ones who thought the series would be a sweep... Give me a break.
What's Manu's injury? (I'm not saying you are incorrect) I just want to know what's specifically wrong with him. To me, most of the time he looks "tired". Do you think he sick more than injured? Honestly I don't know what the story is.
I don't understand when Mavs fans make these type of topics they are whining and complaining like little girls, but when Spur fans make these topics it's called venting? WTF?
Face it you got your ass waxed! move on , just like you told Mav fans after game one.
I guess you aren't reading the posts. Everyone is saying the same thing as you are -- the officiating sucked but didn't cost the Spurs the game. Open your eyes when you read.
Add this guy to the list of people with a brain.There were ALOT of questionable calls, but the refs didnt beat us, the mavs did.

It's called a Spurs forum.
