Spurs @ Mavs - Nov. 15 Game Blog

[SpursFanFirst]

All right. I still say Spurs win this.

However, as I am still trying to fight off a nasty cold and have worked doubles all week, so I will probably not see much more of this game.

So Go Spurs Go. I am going to sleep sweet and wake up to an amazing comeback win!

Feel better, Angel

Tony's invisible, 5 AST, 2 RB, 2 pts.

Mavs want it a lot more than the Spurs.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Whine, whine, whine

The irony.

[Spawn]

And that's a good thing; really. Mavs are unleashing all their strategies and tactics, while we're flying under the radar.

Don't worry, guys.

What strategy are they unleashing?

[san antonio spurs]

it's strange but for once I don't care if we lose tonight, it seems like meaningless game, unfortunetely our players feel the same way too

I got a question for Mav fans.

Is it like this with Phoenix? Like, you believe you're the better team and you're gonna kick some ass but they always seem to jump on you and you're fighting out of a hole the entire game?

[lefty]

Whine, whine, whine

At least we don't whine during the playoffs; you know, when real men step up...

[lefty]

The Mavs just need to imagine they're playing San Antonio every game and they'll be fine.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Line-up should be:
Manu
Bowen
Bonner
Duncan
Elson

Agreed. Manu should just try playing every single possession and go all for all, if we lose, it will be ok but this is one of the games he needs to play 48 minutes and try taking over.

Just heard Jason Loseward they wanted to make an statemetn tonight... that's a pretty losing coment to me

[Deimosfobos]

Manu will need some help on the second half, or we lost already

[BUMP]

Dallas clearly wants this game more. but if San Antonio doesnt start beating us, then the Mavs will have all the confidence on Earth if they meet up in the playoffs.

if we can even get there

Dear Spurs Homers,

You are not that much better than the Mavs if better at all. Yes i know you have rings....the Mavs are chokers yada yada. Head to head the Mavs just matchup well against the Spurs. If I'm the Mavs I want to play the Spurs in the first round....rather than an athletic team like G State.

[objective]

nothing wrong with the refs this game; just the usual minor things in any game. The Mavs are getting to the line on legit calls, it's not the refs' fault that Matt Bonner is out there giving up cheap fouls to get into the penalty.

Spurs are sleepwalking zombies. Oberto hasn't shown up almost at all this season. Finley isn't just shooting poorly but has questionable hustle. Duncan couldn't take advantage of Dirk on the block (and hasn't for awhile). The Spurs were very sloppy with their ballhandling and slow with their rotations, very lackluster.

BUT THE WORST THING IS . . .

This was a bad game to bring Vaughn back.

1. A young sparkplug like DW would be nice to see

and

2. A blowout is good for Mahinmi to get some playing time.

oh yeah, them and Golden State. especially on the road, except with Phoenix i have the feeling we will always come back.

Whine, whine, whine

Amare? ...oups! ...sorry

[Nashfan]

The irony.

I'm not one of the whining Suns fans on this board. Just thought it was funny that a few Spurs fans were ing and complaining (the very thing they accuse Suns fans of) about the refs and the dispairity in this game.

[ducks]

lets go tp lets go
forget the bad shooting in first half and lets go

[Borosai]

Painfully Obvious Statement of the Night: Daliss is playing well. Spurs aren't.

Bonner is gonna kick someone's ass tonight!

[boutons_]

Any know when was the last half-time with the Spurs -19 ?

[RonMexico]

It still amazes me that Mav Fan complains about Dwyane Wade going to the line when all the Mavs do against the Spurs is live at the line.

That is blasphamy

-Parker needs to keep shooting. He missed some jumpers and then got blocked ... since then he's been passive shooting the ball. He has five assists but I would have rather he shot 15 times in the first half. The Mavs are giving him looks, he has to take them.

-Manu doing pretty good. A little wild but without him, the Spurs would be down 30.

-Duncan started pretty horrible but got better near the end. He needs to bring it in the second half if the Spurs have a chance.

-Nobody else did really well. Bonner had a couple good positions. Elson had a couple moments. But the Spurs need a couple role players to step up.

-Mavs remind Spurs Nation why the Mavs are a difficult matchup.

[peskypesky]

Why no Washington? Is he injured?
Is Barry injured?

[coachmac87]

dallas already have confidence against the spurs...this game is to show that regardless what time of year it is..if the spurs play the mavs..spurs better be ready..

[Budkin]

This is just plain embarassing. The Mavs have ing owned our asses for the last few games.
