except he got it before last year, not this year?
no problem broken record.This might be the worst take in the history of this forum. Stupid for even you, Tpark.
Seriously,
how many postseasons are we gonna go through with the "well, Ginobili is hurt so he can't give his all"
his constant injuries, and inconsistent play, are just too much to overcome.
I stand by it.
If Ginobili doesn't do something in this series to help Duncan out,
it, and put him on the block.
Um...this is on Pop...Don Harris and every other ing tool that thinks AJ is our little buddy and this series is all in the family...
What kind of freaking morons do fluff pieces on the opposing coach when a NBA championship is at stake...
AJ trashes Bruce and everyone acts like he's just being cute...
This kind of crap kills our teams killer instinct...and it starts with Pop. And secondly it's on the SA Media...
Anyone see the Dallas media doing fluff pieces on Pop? no...they are ripping us to shreds...while we got Ludden, Harris and every other one of these tools kissing AJ's ass.
The players need to not watch that crap. It screws with their killer instinct.
I take that back..there is one player I know doesn't watch it...and that's Duncan...
Go back to the games earlier this year. Who guarded who then? At this point I say let Dirk get his and shut down the rest. The Amare defense. I'll trade a few buckets for Dirk for the sake of shutting down the lane, which right now looks like the Red Sea parted.Okay, so go back to Rasho or Nazr .. who's guarding Dirk and who's guarding Howard?
Do you move Bowen off Dirk and let him guard Howard and then risk Tim getting in foul trouble trying to guard Dirk?
No disagreements here whott.
Getting Avery was the smartest thing Dallas could ever do to try and get over the SA hump.
He knows Pop's coaching schemes forwards and backwards, and psychologically he has the edge because everyone thinks he's such a nice guy from his time here.
That er would stab you, me, Tim, Manu, Pop, anyone on that team or in this city in the back to get his team by the Spurs, and he's already got the knife in right now.
Hopefully everyone wakes up and realizes this isn't a ing girl scout retreat, it's war.
What a garbage game.
We are lucky to be tied in this ing series 1-1.
We mailed it in today. The shooting has been absolutely pathetic the first two games, not sure if its the fatigue or just sucking, probably a combination of the two.
Manu looks tired, but I really dont get it, he should have been more tired last year at this time.
Give Tony props for giving all he had tonight, at least Tony has 1 of his running mates back as Duncan is looking like the MVP Duncan. He needs more touches.
the refs, they were absolutely horrible all game long, the best part of course being the ed up 'traveling' call that they just assumed would be occuring. Idiot bald ref.
you Avery Johnson. We had this ing coronary a few years back for this mother er? I'm tired of his little game, I hope we find some testicles to win the next 3 straight games and shut up his pathethic mouth. I hope he goes down whining also and Pop figures out a way to show him who the real teacher is.
Reggie Miller is a piece of . Why is he the announcer in this game along with ? Nice job on being unbiased Reggie.
The Spurs should just activate Marks and sit Oberto or someone. At least Marks might be able to make a ing jump shot.
and Nick Van Exel is a ing idiot. Good job being a team player tonight. Asshole.
I'd like to see some more size out there for the Spurs, but the matchups are brutal. There was one point in the 3rd where we were playing small with Duncan as our only big and there was no one for him to guard cause Diop and Damp were both out with fouls. I think he ended up on Marquis Daniels...
The trouble with playing Rasho or Nazr is that they'll get torched by which ever mismatch they're guarding, but they don't have good enough post games to punish their own mismatches.
what can I say Kori? you already pointed it all out.In this thread, you can vent about whatever you want about Game Two, instead of starting multiple threads that I have to merge. I know Manny already has a thread about his Game 2 Thoughts, but oh well.
1. Obviously Robert Horry can't guard Josh Howard. So sadly enough, the Spurs will have to either a) Pull Bowen off Dirk and let Horry or Duncan guard Dirk while Bowen guard Howard (which sucks because Bowen does a good job at denying Dirk the ball) or b) Go small from the get-go and perhaps start Finley to guard Terry and let Manu guard Howard. I don't really want to go small from the start because the Spurs will get destroyed on the glass.
2. Where's Playoff Manu? During this time when Tony is hurt, Manu needs to be going off. He didn't do much of anything tonight when it mattered (and he didn't do much in Game One either). Time to become Playoff Manu -- I know he's still in there.
3. Spurs Fans Suck. From the 3rd quarter on Dallas fans were chanting, "Let's Go Mavericks!" so loud it was ridiculous. Spurs fans greatly outnumber Mavs fans at the AT&T, so do something about it. I'm not suggesting anyone throw down or anything. But WTF? At least chant something to drown them out.
4. NVE is a frickin' idiot. Tony is obviously hurting and NVE decides it's a good idea to get tossed
5. AJ - I'm sick of you already. I hated that Tim Duncan was talking nicely to AJ on the sidelines right after AJ got a T. And I hated it that AJ was allowed to run up and down the sidelines all the way over the midcourt line for the whole game. Back the up.
6. The bench - Where's the bench? Barry came on strong late in the game when nothing matteredbut other than that the bench sucked!
7. Tim Duncan - I hope Tim went off on his teammates for not helping him out in the last two games. Tim's finally in great form and now the rest of the team is leaving him high and dry.
8. The refs - I never about the refs and I don't think that the refs cost the Spurs this game. But I'm still mystified by some calls. The inadvertent whistle that turned into a jump ball was classic.
9. Tony Parker - Yeah, I don't like it that he didn't have any assists until very late either -- but I'm giving him 1/2 a pass on this one, considering that I was told that he could barely walk last night and he really thought he wasn't going to be able to play. Props to Will Sevening for getting him to the point he could at least run. Tony missed about 80 percent of his shots in warmups, so I knew he wasn't going to be awesome.
10. Game Three - The Spurs need to win Game Three. It's a "must-win" even though I hate that term. I think whoever wins Game Three wins the series.
and yeah I hated AJ even more. not after tonight's game but right after he said that "bear-hugging" thing.when Tim was practically crawling during game 1 too bec of Dampier's dirty tactics.
okay i forgive the heavily padded Tony. But not Manu...the Admiral might consider wearing Tim's jersey for now. Manu disappeared when he started wearing #20. just kiddin'
3 games in 5 days is just ridiculous...i forgive the Spurs. they need a break!
TAKE GAME 3!
Ok, Kellen Winslow Jr. We'll see you Spurs on the battlefield!!!!

...you've got to be joking. He "does nothing with his hair"?!?!?.
How venemous. You're really pulling out all the stops.
Also another thing. Why was Manu guarding DHarris and Tony guarding JTerry?!
Dude looks like Frankenstein. Him and Pop could make a freak darn good Monster movie together....you've got to be joking. He "does nothing with his hair"?!?!?

Good points Kris.
i am venting...
I also don't think that the refs cost the Spurs this game. But, I was going nuts with some of the calls.
I also think Spurs fans should of been screaming at the Mavs, I think it would of worked better than screaming at the refs.
Aj - man I used to like this guy but right now.... I just want to throw something at him
That bothered me sooooo much!And on a side note to Miller's quote on Ginobili getting elbowed ("What's good for the goose is good for the gander.") - Looks like Manu OWNED you in your championshipless years with the almighty PacersI can't explain why.
Angel, I feel the same way.
Also another thing. Why was Manu guarding DHarris and Tony guarding JTerry?!
I dunnooo I was thinking the same thing, maybe because Tony's hurt and Jet's not as fast... who knows? but parker/harris would be the ideal match-up.
Yeah I imagine it's because Tony was hurt. But hurt Tony was still pretty quick .. he just didn't have any lift.
Well I'm just a fan Kori living far away from Texas, and quite happily so. You're the reporter. Please do me a favor and use your access, once the Spurs playoff run is over this year to get ahold of Manu, and find out once and for all what's been wrong with him this year. CIA Pop won't tell you anything, but there has to be a reason he couldn't jump all year. He's been hurt before, but never like this. , Brent coined the "El Contusion" last year, and he was just fine in the playoffs.
One last vent for me....
Be nice to have Malik Rose right about now...actually it'd have been nice to have him in the Sac series as well.
It wouldn't have been nice last year vs Phoenix or Detroit though.
You're seriously an idiot. You take the "What have you done for me lately" fan stereotype to an entirely new level. First of all, he was pretty much the reason for Championship # 3, just last year. Do you not understand that? The Pistons would be two time defending champions right now if not for Manu.
2nd of all, he's already been the best player on the court in two of our eight playoff games so far. Not a great ratio, but not terrible either. Four of the other six games were blowouts, either way, so whatever he did didn't matter.
Of the other two, he had one bad game (game 3 at Sac), and one decent game (game 1 vs Dal).
I'm not any happier that he's hurt than you are, but I'm not nearly as insolent about it or spoiled or ungrateful. His playoff run last year spoiled everybody and now people act like he's a superstar and he's not allowed to play average games. He's never even averaged 17 points a game in a reg season.
Answer me this...if he was sooooooooo terrible against the Kings, why did he have the best +/- of any Spur in the series? Better than Duncan, better than Parker, better than anyone? I guess it's just a coincedence.
Your own coach said the refs had nothing to do with this game. I believe him a little. I'm sure he thinks some calls were off also tho.
Let see, there was a make up call on Dampier after the foul was called on Duncan, Duncan got away with a loose ball foul on Dirk (a blatant shove/fall on the back), a foul on Terry under the basket with his arms straight up in the air when Parker shoots... fouls go both ways. Spurs had our big men in foul trouble again the whole game!
Pop said it best... it was the way the Mavs played tonight. Spurs had almost nothing outside of Duncan because of the Mavs defense and the Spurs lack of aggressivness/energy/stamina... whatever you wanna call it.
Game 3 should be a classic. Can't wait!
that's because our own coach was classy enough not to say that biatch. unlike avery
its not that there weren't questionable calls for both sides what hurts us the most was the TIMING of these calls...
It's a good thing you're here to interpret what's going on in Greg Poppovich's head so that you can let us all know what his real intentions are in everything he says. Where would we be without you?
