I just knew that the feks would step it up and put on there mavs jerseys in the fourth quater wow i couldnt believe how obvious they have been some change needs to be made. And about the comment that fouls dont make the game they do! when its this close every position and bad cal can change the game. Wow i bet jordan is upset he didnt get bailed out more in the end of the game he actualy had to make the game winning shot!
He's right, refs were a joke, but the Spurs just couldn't hit shots in OT. Finley stole the ball...then immediately goes for a 3 and misses. Next trip down, Parker steals the ball, Duncan misses an easy layup. Mavs controlled the tempo and their poise in OT. Granted, it maybe shouldn't have gone to OT in the first place, and granted that the Spurs were obviously missing Ginobili--who perhaps shouldn't have been fouled out to begin with, but it is what it is.
To me, this series mostly rests on Pop. You can't keep changing your lineup and adjusting to the other team.
Spurs have NEVER played without two 7 footers in the middle all season to help Duncan. Now all of a sudden, when Pop goes on record to say that Spurs defense is what's hurting us, not our offense, he goes and puts Duncan and 4 Guards out there???? Where's the logic in that? I know Rasho and Nazr have been sucking big time, but perhaps if Pop had given them a chance, instead of letting them get rusty on the bench for the playoffs, this wouldn't have happened.
Then, you give Finley limited minutes the ENTIRE freakin season, and then all of a sudden you expect him to produce as a starter? I have not liked Pop's adjustment's this entire series and it's showing.
The spurs defense has been solid, look dallas is good there going to score and that it but the spurs have been making them work for it with j's but these last few games have been decided by refs in the fourth its clear, when a game is this close you dont call liitle girly stuff let these teams play its the freaking playoffs man, make dirk make that shot dont give it to him. Thats all im saying if the refs let them play the spurs are up 3 1 but mavs only hjave a chance because the refs constantly keep them in the game.
you don't bail a player out with less than ten seconds left, and he is not driving to the hoop. if he had tossed a shot up and missed, i could see maybe bailing him out. but that was ridiculous.
no, the spurs have not been able to stop the mavs. they aren't scoring 100 points on free throws. the spurs could not stop terry late. i hate the call on dirk, but don't call the spurs d solid when they are getting lit up for 100+ points.
last year ths spurs were playing solid d and won against the suns do you remember the scores? yeah in the hundreds when you play fast pace teams its going to happen especialy in the playoffs man. San antono was controlling the tempo all game until the fourth when ofcourse the refs changed the game calling girly fouls and making really bad calls, the same in game 3. The spurs can play against the mavs and the refs. Any person not a spurs fan our mavs fan would tell you honestly it was a bad day for the refs
Not one Mavericks player has fouled out? Are you stupid? Diop and Damp both fouled out last night.
How about the possession for the Spurs when 2 bad calls were made in their favor? First, Duncan loses the ball on his way up and its called off the Mavs when NONE of them touched it. Then the Spurs shoot a brick 3 that doesnt hit the rim and a shot clock violation should have been called but the refs get together and claim it hit the rim. The Spurs had 2 extra scoring opportunities.
So stop your god damn whining
that was a completely different series. the spurs were able to make key stops against the suns in that series - they aren't making those stops this year against the mavs, and are executing poorly down the stretch. last year, ginobili does not make that late turnover like in game 3 vs dallas, and barry wouldn't have had the chance to make his turnovers because ginobili wasn't fouling out. i am ing about one or two key calls, but that does not take away from the mavs getting key offensive boards and putbacks. last year's team could actually get those key rebounds, this year's team isn't. the spurs need to start playing like they deserve to win the game down the strecth and they will win.
