Game Blog: Spurs @ Mavs - March 17 8:00 PM CT

Tony looks kinda worn down... you could see it last night after he gave up 36 to Westbrook... I wonder if that wrist is bothering him

You're right, he looks totally worn down to me. It looks more like fatigue than a wrist problem, although the fact that he is not taking many shots and not making most of those he is taking may indicate an issue with his wrist.

I gotta admit, I have been surprised that he has lasted as long as he has at the level he has been playing.

[ElNono]

I love Tony, btw

You know what, I wonder if Manu is shooting 25% because he is upset they had to trade for another player because he's missed so much time? I know he's pretty mentally fragile, so I hope he understands he's still crucial off the bench.

I'll have to sort through a list of teams to find the other 6'6" C's that Blair does match up against.

He can matchup with other guys who aren't the focal point of an offense like someone like Perkins or Dalembert.

Tbh, I'm starting to think the RJ era was just a bad dream.

It was like a black cloud hanging over every damn game. You can really feel that now.

Do you even start Blair on Dirk in the second half? I'd be tempted to just insert Jax into the starting unit.

[Ice009]

Short answer: Yes

He seemed pretty comfortable with the sequence to get Timmy the ball in the post, at least, but we've gone away from that quite a bit since '03

Spurs don't have Robinson in the paint so the defense has to have changed at least a little.

On offense I'd say we have changed a lot more compared to running 4 down all the time.

An Emphatic NO. He should not even start this half.

TOSB Manu needs to be killed by the real Manu

Maybe it's the fact that Tony has never been a leader and that's starting to wear down on him... I'm glad Capt Jax is on the team to lift that burden a bit

[DPG21920]

Calling it now: Manu has a huge 2nd half. Go Manu!

[loveforthegame]

Someone needs to jump start this team. Let's go!!

[ElNono]

Tony will play better though... book it

I would just so Blair doesn't disappear for the rest of the year.

[ElNono]

Props to DPG for an entertaining halftime

[bklynspursfan]

.. Blair in still

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs just can't get over that hump

[bklynspursfan]

Would've been nice if Kawhi hit that 3

[TDfan2007]

Mavs are really missing Marion and Haywood out there tbh.

[bklynspursfan]

Green still got it!

[ElNono]

Danny time!

[ace3g]

Green for 3!!

[bklynspursfan]

If Green can finish the season the way he started??? I'd be thrilled

[DPG21920]

**takes a bow**

[TDfan2007]

Timmy's shot looked good there. Nice execution by our guys.
