Spurs vs. Mavericks Jan. 5 -- Game Blog

[Chip Dog]

You sure about that, new guy?

Wow, you insult to me is that I'm a "new guy"? I already know you're a for two reasons:

1. You like the Mavs
2. You like Dane Cook, who steals his jokes from Louis CK, Joe Rogan, and various other comics.

I doubt we could get Magette for Beno and Barry.

Maybe a month ago when they were hot....after tonight's performance no way in

[anonymous coward]

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

and oberto was 7-7fg 14pts 5rb 20mins

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.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Apples and oranges. Kidd, Mash, Nash, and Finley never won 3 les for us much less one. No MVPs between them either. Give me a break, Duncan is a different case.

Nash is a different case? Keep telling yourself that.

Well, Popovich got outcoached one more time by Avery Johnson. Small ball exposes the Spurs' lack of athleticism when you compare their smalls to the Spurs' smalls.

[hitmanyr2k]

and oberto was 7-7fg 14pts 5rb 20mins

Kind of makes you wonder why Oberto didn't get more playing time in the 2nd half. His energy and hustle could have been used when the Mavs killed the SPurs on the boards in the 3rd qtr. I've said for the longest time Popovich has no concept of riding hot players.

You Mavs fans are on such a high about Dirk and killing Timmy, Dirk played great tonight as he always does against the Spurs. Timmy always plays great against you guys too, he just had a bad 2nd half tonight.

Here's what the Nazis did:



Pretty fun little le to throw around on other people, isn't it?

Grow the up.

[SkunkinDuncan]

Good night, sweet prince.

[carina_gino20]

mavs deserved this one. they found a way to come back and all we could do is stare at them while they're at it. i still believe in this team but a trade really is a must (anyone outside of the big 4), no matter how much i love the guys.

[davemaniscool]

C'mon guys. The spurs have the same issue this year they had last year - someone who can matchup with Dirk at the small forward spot. The man shoots 10ft freethrows over guys who are 5-6 inches shorter than him. Tim gets double/tripled and still kills guys who are his height and weight.

Spurs will be fine. They need Elson back to defend Irk and some better coaching at the end of the game.

Dirk happens to be a good shooter who's 7ft. He's still overrated. Move him to the paint where guys his height play and he's not even a top ten player.

Dallas lost to a team in last years finals the spurs would've killed. Get rid of one bad play by Gino against Nirk and Spurs would have another trophy.

[Marcus Bryant]

Nah, Dirk's family had nothing to do with it. Honest.

Check your History, Mashburn and Kidd were traded away before Cuban bought the team. Nash was not traded to Phoenix, he was a free agent and left for the money. Finley, he was cut and he is a SPUR doing a of a job.

Been amused by this thread all night long. Great game, Mavs squeeked it out at the end like they've been able to since Nellie left. But this comment has to be the stupidest thing I've read in a long time. WTF should he have to play in the paint? You guys have noone to guard him in or out of the paint.

I'm done with you. Trying to compare a stand-up comic to bent genocidal fiends isn't even in the same universe. Enjoy the loss, stick. Come back when the peach fuzz on your balls grows out.

Spurs scored 34 pts in the 2nd half.

They around and play like , loaf, disinterested, detached, in so many games.

Then when need a full 48 minutes, they simply haven't practiced/experienced the focus, energy, and concentration for that long, so they can't keep it going.

24 minutes of great basketball and stats,
then 24 of crappy basketball and stats. 34 pts in 24 minutes.

I'm beginning to see how Tony does fade physically late in the game. He really wants to play, but just doesn't have the endurance. He loses that spring and bounce. I suppose that can be upgraded by endurance training, if the trainers address it in the off-season.

I wonder if Tim has the smarts and maturity to figure out how to keep his franchise's head above water as he decines? I'm not sure he sees big picture, the meta-game, and I wonder if Pop has the courage to confront Tim with the adjustments Tim has to make.

Another fantastic game from Manu wasted.

Dirk is a great player but he is overated for the reason that he is not versatile in other areas. You are wowed by his offense but he is still a mediocre defender and rebounder. At times his inability to draw double teams can hurt the Mavs as well.

That was a very entertaining 4th quarter, the 1st 3 quarters were a bore.

Thats not even what I am talking about. My post was in response to Chip Dog saying our of an owner knows nothing about loyalty and thats why Timmy will forever be a Spur. He was comparing Tim to Nash, Mashburn, Fin, and Kidd. Give me a break. If you guys don't think more highly of a guy who helped you win 3 ships that you compare him to guys who never brought home any hardware, then you're not too smart. Nash would never have won us a ship...as you can see, he still hasn't with that style of play.

If your depending on Elson to stop DIRK your a idiot!
The coach drew up a good play, and the Spurs didn't execute.

DIRK OVERRATED! Why don't ask Timmy D how many times Dirk blew by his ass.

Peach fuzz on my balls? Nice. Enjoy cheering for Nazi's and Diop, he also rules. Sorry for ripping into Dane Cook. Seeing him as your screen pic gave me a complete idea of what type of person you are...enjoy the ass sex!

Thanks. At least you seem to have some knowledge unlike these other guys.

You're right. I'm clueless. Getting Jamison and Walker a few seasons ago was a genius move by Cuban. I concede to your NBA knowledge of team loyalty.
