Dallas shooting 55% from the field...not good.

[Manu20]

1:51 DAL - Full timeout (Timeout #4)
1:51 DAL - Shooting foul on E. Dampier
2:08 DAL - D. Nowitzki makes shot
2:26 SA - N. Van Exel makes a 25-foot three-pointer from the right wing. Assist: M. Ginobili
2:50 DAL - D. Nowitzki makes a 16-foot jumper from the top of the key
3:01 SA - M. Ginobili enters game for F. Oberto
3:01 SA - Defensive rebound
3:04 SA - N. Mohammed misses a layup
3:19 DAL - Discontinued dribble on J. Stackhouse
3:31 SA - N. Mohammed hits the second free throw

Spurs are down 69-65. Nazr will shoot 2 from the line after the timeout.

Other than Oberto the Spurs bigs are playing like little girls tonight.

Someone needs to cool Dirk's ass off.

[Vingianx]

Ummm. Question.

Why is Dallas going big while Pop puts in a small lineup?

good question, no idea here, still scratching my head on that i guess he's saving his bigs for the 4th

Lesson: that was GREAT defense by Bowen. It doesn't matter that Dirk made the shot.

Let's see which yahoo is the first to say Bowen wasn't playing good defense because Dirk score X points.

We should pe ion for that person to be banned.

At this stage of their careers, Nowitzki is light years ahead of Duncan, with or without the alleged 'foot injury' (wink-wink, nudge-nudge).

Only an imbecile would disagree with that.

Because they'll create more offense from that slump I guess?

True that. There's nothing you can do about that basket, he played defense perfectly on that one.

Because Pop is treating this as a pre-playoff game. Mixing and matching; taking notes.

W/L doesn't matter as much as learning, IMO - Spurs will still have HCA in their own hands.

I'm not implying that in the least. I just want Bowen to SHUT HIM DOWN .

Looks like somebody needs to give the 'boys more mojo.

[boutons_]

Spurs offense is still-born, they can't get anything going.

[Vingianx]

mohammed better make his FT's

Only on offense. Dirk will never be the leader that TD is.

[milkyway21]

whoa, Duncan only had 1 pt, no rbd after halftime..

come on Timmy!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Let's GO SPURS! I need a 6 point victory from you!

[Trifecta]

Based on the way our guys are playing now, we will need MANU to be our 4th qtr driver and kick out to NVE and FINS

[Neuromancer]

He's doing the best any single person in the world can do right now. Dirk's not playing stupid like he did last game. He's using feints to clear space and fading away, not trying to take bowen off the dribble and shoot off the dribble.

Tim will make 7 in a row in the fourth again. You'll see.

[Vingianx]

man, mavs making everything they shoot

[Trifecta]

Throwing to Mohammed on the run is NEVER a good thing!!!!!

Oh no.. He can learn!
