Good Game Spurs

[mavsfan1000]

Harris averages 23 minutes a game as the backup point guard.

Their defense was obsolete in the second half.

Quoted For Mother ing Truth

Thirty points or more in the third and fourth is NOT good defense...

Yeah, but Devin Harris would have defended the post and the perimiter at the same time. He would have stopped Horry and Finley with one hand and shut down Nazr with the other while Baby Bowen crushed Manu and Diop pwn3d Duncan.

He would stop the penetration from Parker that lead to kick outs to open players like Finley and Horry. Also penetration can get bigs out of position for the rebound. I guess what I'm saying is point guard defense is huge and Terry is not dependable in that area.

Was Devin the guy who held Parker to 11-17 or 13-23?

I swear -- Devin Harris has the game of his life in the first Spurs/Mavericks matchup (how often will he go 8-8 from the floor against this San Antonio team) and Mavericks fan pimps him like he's the freakin' Messiah. At that, he didn't shut down Parker in the first game; he basically matched Parker's offensive output. I don't get the argument that Devin Harris is somehow the guy in the NBA who can deny Tony Parker any penetration and take Tony out of a game. He's yet to do that.

It's starting to look like the mavs have lost their edge on the road. Dirk couldn't score on anyone except Manu and Parker. If you think the mavs played even close to the level they can play than you haven't watched many mavs games. The mavs are not afraid of the spurs and this bull .

Look here, m'fr. You came on here to talk and you are getting trashed like your pretender Mavs did. THE MAVS DIDN'T PLAY TO THEIR LEVEL BECAUSE THE SPURS DIDN'T LET THEM PLAY TO THEIR LEVEL...whatever their level is. You said the Mavs are not playing well because Harris did not play, so what happens when he plays and Duncan AND Manu bring their A-game (Insert Crickets here)? The Mavs CANNOT beat the Spurs in a 7-game series right now, no matter how much that little ass- Cuban complains to the NBA. F*** Cuban, Stackhouse, and the Mavs!

Jerry Roundhouse serves up the forearm that should keep this Texas rivalry alive for many more games.

I agree with your statement about how PG defense is huge and about the fact that Terry is not a good defensive player. However, I disagree strongly with the notion that Devin Harris would "stop the penetration from Parker".

, TP went off for 30+ points during the first meeting of the season between Spurs and Mavs - with Devin coming off the bench. Of course, Devin had a career game that night and is a nice, developing young player. But to insinuate that he's a grandiose defensive stopper on TP is going overboard.

We'll see what happens in April.

Devin Harris is the only player on the mavs that can matchup with Parker speed wise. Yes the history shows Parker has had his way but I feel Harris can slow it down when he is in. For example Terry was able to slow down Parker in the first quarter but it is a lot to ask for Terry to continue doing this for the whole game. Harris would take the pressure off of Terry in that second quarter and possibly get the mavs lead to more than 12. I know that's asking a lot but Harris has done a lot of good things with the mavs. Anyways I'm sick of talking about an old game. Time to move on.
