Game Blog: 2010 Playoffs Round 1 - Spurs vs. Mavs, Game 4

[Ice009]

George Hill is one of the toughest players on the team.

[Spurs Brazil]

great block RJ

Dallas up 11 at the half

[DPG21920]

RJ with a great block to close it out. This was the worst I have seen the boys play in a while. Tim/Manu have a lot of making up to do. Dallas looks great.

[timtonymanu]

Everybody but Hill is playing horrible.

Manu + Tim really need to step up. Tim is playing like how he did during the Magic and Lakers games.

[itzsoweezee]

duncan's got to do something in the second half. have some pride man.

[Spurologist]

TD can't play any worse

[Crookshanks]

4 points from Manu and Timmy - they gotta get it going in the second half or we're doomed

[NewJerSpur]

McDyess' D on Kidd has been so bad in this series..he doesn't understand how to play him..

I don't understand why they don't make Kidd drive every time..the ONLY way he scores is by making open 3s, he can't do anything else to score..

And you called it, he'll do whatever he can to not take the shot even with the clock winding down.

Haywood travelled on that last attempt btw.

[quentin_compson]

Without Hill's threes, this would be very ugly right now. It's still been ugly enough, though.

[lefty]

I hate it when Hill lets Barea torch him.

[ffadicted]

Holy dudes, I forgot how fast Shawn Mario talks haha

[CFH]

Well down 11 at the half, Spurs are gonna have to play their asses off in the 2nd half, gotta get out of this damn hole...

[SpursTillTheEnd]

dice and timmy are worn out, it's time to play blair and ian

[Admidave50]

Hill is huge tonight, hope Tim and Manu can play better offensively!

[alchemist]

Bonner/Blair combo is the best thing the Mavs could see all series, it lets them back into any game.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Everything that could have gone wrong did in the first half

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Someone needs to hit Pop over teh head with a chair in the locker room.

Gay ass micro small ball for 7 minutes of the second quarter, then follows it up with an offensive bogfest trying to post up Tim on the right block multiple possessions in a row.

Tim doesn't have the legs tonight you dumb .

[Ice009]

How about we start TP with Hill in the second half and bench either RJ or Manu??????

[timtonymanu]

I am disgusted by this first half. This is "boo" level basketball.

+1. I wanna see that championship swagger we've been seeing. Now we're back to lazy apathetic regular season Spurs.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice to see a little run to end the quarter. Manu and Tim look complacent out there s ofar.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

So we scored a basket because JT was down?


We are that pathetic ?

WTF are you talking about? You play until they blow the whistle.

[Bartleby]

Not pretty but it could be a lot worse. I'm expecting a big second half from Manu.

[Ice009]

George Hill is one of the toughest players on the team.

I just want to add to that, that Bonner is a ing choker. PATHETIC from Matt Bonner to miss wide open shot after wide open shot.

[lefty]

Duncan is slow

Ginobili won't have a good 2nd half


Pop has just killed Manu's mojo with his re ed coaching

[Crookshanks]

Well - if there's any silver lining, it's that the Spurs played about as bad as they possibly could. Only 4 points from Manu and Timmy. Glad the half is over - now let's hope Pop can do something at halftime and get these guys fired up to start the second half.
