I have a huge feeling that NVE is gonna come up huge tonight. I just feel it.

The game is not being broadcasted live in here.

What this I read consecutive shots by Barry and Duncan from midcourt?

shot clock winding down

[themvp]

I was very surprised.

He jumps like a pure white boy.

Exactly. I was so pissed off of Oberto´s play, but then he dunked and I was...WAWAWIWA!

That 8-0 run may have been a lifesaver.

Now it would be nice to see the defensive intensity pick up.

Keys for the second half:
3. Keep the Mavs off the offensive boards.
2. Stop Harris' penetration.
1. Don't let Nazr out of the locker room.

[aaronstampler]

And this means Tim running too. I want him to take advantage of his foot speed vs Diop/Dampier.

[ducks]

the third quarter is where spurs usually make their move

things looking up

[bonesinaz]

Spurs shooting 41%, mavs 50%. This will even up even more in the 2nd half.

[greyforest]

mavericks are turning it over a load, and have had 7 more FT attempts than us

if we can learn to IN SHOOT then we have it in the bag if they play the same

[mookie2001]

I was...WAWAWIWA!

you used an "I" sound?

[ALVAREZ6]

Dallas isnt far more talented. They arent any more talented. They are just playing better. The Spurs problem is not that they are out gunned, it's that they just are not playing hard and are making bad decisions. They stepped it up at the end of the half and went on a run. They just have to bring 24 more to finish this game with a win.

Exactly.


They aren't performing to their potential at all. They are underachieving, and it all starts with effort. They just started giving it. Hopefully it carries over to the 2nd half, if it doesn't, then that's just how it is. They don't want it.

Sorry, but Oberto hasn't impressed me today. He's made quite a few mistakes/stupid fouls. And he let Dallas get a lot of offensive rebounds when he was in. I'd almost wish Pop would try Rasho.

Oberto >>>>>>> Nazr tonight

[exstatic]

Zero Nazr minutes: that's the key to the second half. That stupid git cost us the lead in about 9 seconds with that horrible sequence.

NVE feed to TD got the run started and the team fired up. Need MORE smart passes from NVE, less shots.

[A-Train]

Spurs started to focus on protecting the paint and they reeled off a run to close the half.

[Deb]

I sure feel better after seeing the Spurs play Spurs basketball the last three minutes or so. They had just not looked like themselves.

I think they are all gonna gut up and come back big in the half.

[nkdlunch]

Duncan-Rasho-Manu-Bowen-Parker

lets go.

I miss that lineup..... Goodtimes

[ashbeeigh]

Doesn't Fabrcicio have like 8 fouls already?

[Tobias]

CIA Pop! Devaluing Nazr!!1!

[SpursGo25]

I think we should go big and pack in the paint with the bigs. Work inside on offense and release back on defense to stop the break. Make the mavs win by shooting contested jump shots.

What has rasho done to not get any pt?? I know he hasnt been any worse than nazr, so what happened? Did he tell Pop to kiss his ass or something?

[A-Train]

Also, Spurs started to attack in transition instead of pulling up.

[1Parker1]

Mavs backcourt outscored Spurs backcourt 24-16. That needs to improve in the second half, along with our defense and rebounding.
