Game BLog: Spurs @ Mavs - March 4, 2009

[Capt Bringdown]

You can talk all you want about defense, but it was the long offensive drought in the 3rd that really killed us.
As it is every year that we come up short.

[boutons_]

Spurs just got outplayed and out shot

[BeeGee]

Spurs rotation out of the low post has been turrible-turrible-turrible tonight.

[TampaDude]

Last timeout...game over...

[lefty]

Hey, we even burn time outs !

Can we burn Crawford?

[JohnnySixString]

Spurs and Defense.


Two things we never see together anymore.

[Manu-of-steel]

timmy's 2nd game from injury isn't bad at all

[sprrs]

Never heard of "rotations" have you.

You leave the worst shooter on the floor open to get the ball out of their best shooter's hands.


Don't quite understand that do ya eh genius.

Kidd's been hitting the three today.

[Spursmania]

Spurs are really not that much better than the Mavs...esp head to head

Yeah-keep dreaming. You know you won't always have Crawford to help you guys.

That rotation happened because of a bad double team

[EricB]

Who are you?

Just a casual observer laughing at you ninnys.

[Spursfan092120]

Damn..now we have to foul even if we score.

[BeeGee]

Great defense on Mason...that play was for him to bomb it.

[EricB]

That rotation happened because of a bad double team

So you don't want to double Dirk Nowitzki?

interesting.

[Spursfan092120]

oh well...congrats Mavs fans...good game.

[EricB]

In this game he does........Past performance doesnt excuse lack of effort! You have to run a set shooter off the line........again no heart!!

Kill yourself.

[lefty]

So you don't want to double Dirk Nowitzki?

interesting.

No

[BeeGee]

Mavs defensive rotation > Spurs defensive rotation = difference in this game.

[024]

WTF duncan should have fouled dampier instead of ing about the ball being out of bounds.

[lefty]

Parker 3?

Sure

[mFFL03]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooo

viva barea

[Yorae]

Just a casual observer laughing at you ninnys.

You're EricBading. You're worse than a ninny. You're Josh Howard.

[EricB]

Kidd's been hitting the three today.

You keep seeing if he can.

You don't leave open terry or Nowitzki. That simple.

[01Snake]

The Mavs just won the Championship!! OMG!!! No wait, its a regular season game.

Do u believe Duncan is in the best shape of his life? I have done the tire routine and the running in sand.......that is all well and good for stamina but isnt gonna make you stronger. Duncans lack of hops has to do with his lack of effort or training at improving it. He is not a toned guy either, Im sorry, with the diet and training these guys have, no excuse not to be in top shape. Again I love the guy but hes 32.........Look at shaq who we all know is 40lbs over wt, yet his moves well due to training.

I believe Duncan came into camp in the best shape he's been in for the last few seasons. Pop said it, I have no reason to doubt him.

Duncan is stronger than he looks, he's powerful on that court. His game is a finesse game, it always has been. I don't know why anyone would think he needs to start jumping now, when it's never been a big part of his game.

He had surgery on his left knee in 2000, the right knee is acting up. He's not going to start jumping now.

Duncan will rise like he always does. Pop has kept him outside more this season, hopefully it's helped protect his body a little more for the Playoffs. He'll be there when it matters.
