Spurs vs. Mavericks Jan. 5 -- Game Blog

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I know where the Mavs will catch their flight out of here...anyone wanna go egg their bus and plane?

Screw that, we need Pop's address though.

[Shank]

It hurts worse to lose to a Nazi.

Josh Howard is a Nazi?

[boutons_]

Spurs miss 10 FTs, Tim misses 7 of Spurs' 10, lose by 5 pts.

FTs are a huge stain on Tim's career.

[ca®lo]

Will you Spurs fans support the Mavs once they eliminate ya'll again this year?

why shouldnt i? i supported this team even before they won a ring. cant see any reason why i should bail out on them now.

cant say the same for the bandwagons

Where the was Barry!! Our hottest three point shooter and horry and even Finley who hit a couple of tough shots tonight! ing Pop better change some up in the second half of the season!! Im out this Mother er!!!

barry was at the game...but his game wasn't. dood stunk up the joint tonight

[Chip Dog]

Barry stinks. Finley stinks. Horry stinks. It's starting to look like an old folks home on that bench. We don't need a bunch of once great players, we need NOW great players.

Rebounding comes and kicks the Spurs in the ass once again

This was the difference in the second half. It's not skill, its the motivation of the Spurs right now. They just can't keep it together for a full game.

[Chip Dog]

Actually, Dirk is the Nazi, Josh Howard is just a .

Rebounding and free throws actually. Hopefully one of those problems will be taken care of once Elson gets back.

You know how a team during their championship season has those special games that always stick out as one of the highlights en route to the championship?

Well Dallas had that game tonight


It's only January, but the gap between SA and Dallas has never been bigger

I don't think we watched the same game. I saw the Mavs get back in the game from offensive boards. Their offense wasn't pretty at all and there was really nothing special about their 4th qtr. The Spurs just played worse. The backbreaker was the Jason Terry put-back off the Dirk airball. It all comes down to making the right play at the right time with these 2 teams. That's a very NARROW gap. Duncan left his game in the lockerroom at the half and couldn't make free throws down the stretch and the Spurs were STILL there in the end. Not a big gap by any means.

I actually don't feel all that bad about the loss... we are not as good as the Mavs in our current state. We need Elson back and we need to trade for more athleticism.

You need to trade Duncan and a couple of your ty bench players for Garnett and a good bench player.

Rebounding and free throws actually. Hopefully one of those problems will be taken care of once Elson gets back.

what does maggette do...rebound and hit free throws and you don't pull the trigger because you want to keep barry and udrih? WTF???

[Texas_Ranger]

Trade Barry, Finley and Horry for some 20 years old players.

[Chip Dog]

Maggette also likes getting hurt alot. No thanks.

[judaspriestess]

now would be the time to trade duncan. the t-wolves are shopping garnett. maybe a duncan, finley, bowen for garnett, jaric and would work. im not sure but i really do think the spurs should move duncan and some of their carrpy bench players for garnett and a quality bench guy.

what a stupid idiotic thing to say. Until your team does better than a choke job by losing F-O-U-R in a row in the Finals for all the world to see, then you can speak your ignoramous dribble.

You sure about that, new guy?

[Deb]

You sure about that, new guy?

Has this site now been comandeered as the new Dallas Mavericks site, or what?

[anonymous coward]

just thank to oberto for have a chance of win the game

[RashoFan]

Screw that, we need Pop's address though.

That isn't hard to find...if you know where to look.
BTW...your sig is hot...damn! Salma has great boobs

[Chip Dog]

Hey, DallasKd, Duncan is what we call a franchise player, why would we trade him after all he's done for us? Remember Kidd? Finley? Mashburn? Nash? All great players your of an owner traded away like 25 cent baseball cards. Duncan will forever be a Spur. It's called loyalty, ass.

FTs are a huge stain on Tim's career.

Man has won 3 les and 3 finals MVP's so that stain can't be to visable.

thats exactly what i think.
besides that, i dont understand how barry and finley are still spurs,
well beno shouldnt be in the team either since a long time ago

[Extra Stout]

Spurs need to mix up the lineup somehow. There are too many holes and too much dead wood. It is time for a trade.

[sprrs]

what does maggette do...rebound and hit free throws and you don't pull the trigger because you want to keep barry and udrih? WTF???

I doubt we could get Magette for Beno and Barry.

I thought the Mavs played like tonight but the Spurs played a really bad 2nd half. The Mav D in 2nd half wasn't nearly as good as it's been in recent games. They looked tired to me. They were very fortunate to win.
