SPAM. STFu.
I was hoping someone would say this before me. Doesn't it concern anyone that these games- these ones right now where the Spurs are supposed to go on a big run against awful teams- that they keep ending up close down the stretch. Whatever happened to blowing a team out and resting the starters in the fourth quarter. Having to play Duncan, Parker, Manu, and Bruce down the stretch in a game like this one!!
No, it concerns no one.
In case you haven't noticed - this team from top to bottom is not good enough to be blowing teams out for 48. They're not that much better than the mediocre teams in the league, just enough better to win close games consistently.
Since Elie lobbied the Spurs hard for a job and was mostly ignored, he has been less than kind in his assesment of them. Go figure?
The only reaon Dallas is better than us is.......
...they play every game very seriously ; we don't ; we've has a lot of lazy starts ; there seems to be a lack of motivation...
Even Popovich admitted recently : "For some reason, we're not as hungry as those (Suns and Mavs) teams"
Some victories arent going to be impressive. That's the NBA. But a W is a W, no?
You are having a of a year right now but i still say you guys are going down at some point. It may not be the Spurs beating you but i don't see Dirk leading you guys to the promise land. When all is on the line he has never come through.
Personally, I don't pretend to know how hard he lobbied for a Spurs job and whether he carries a grudge. You must be getting this inside dope from Johnathan.
Chow.
Spurs were ahead by 23 and let an undermanned Boston team come back--but it was because Pop cleared his bench and the reserves couldn't hold the lead. By the time he got the starters back in, they were cold and couldn't do anything right either.
TD had two shots blocked and a couple of turnovers and a missed layup among other stretch woes. Ginobili and Parker bailed him out of being the goat of the game.
hmm hmm game 7 against spurs ring a bell?
I never really understood how people can use "so and so has never done X before" as a reason why they wont do X in the future.
I can but Dirk is not one of those type of players. He proved that last year but unfortunately the Wades got in the way of it all.
Can't comment about the Spur's starts as I don't see a lot of their games but the Mav/Heat game was the first game in a long time that the Mavs actually played a decent first half and had a lead. Their focus & motivation doesn't usually come until the 2nd half of games. Of course, you're able to comment on how Dallas plays every game even though you have no clue
Stick to what you know..how the Spur's play.
I watch Spurs AND Mavs games ; Mavs are not as lazy as SpursCan't comment about the Spur's starts as I don't see a lot of their games but the Mav/Heat game was the first game in a long time that the Mavs actually played a decent first half and had a lead.

A boneheaded play by Manu.....
A little known fact: The Spurs used a lineup in that series that they didn't use ALL SEASON.........
And it still came down to this one boneheaded play to get you guys over.....
More Manus bad than Dirks good play....
Damn it manu and bowen for letting dirt by.
They were up by three points, they were supposed to let him go.

And its been down hill sense. Rarely can a single event be pin pointed as the change of direction for a franchise. The Mavs had one too, only it wasn't their player making the play it was the other teams player. Thank Manu, you gave us the knowlegde that the Spurs could be beat and the Spur knowledge that they are not unbeatable.
Remove to Aura and things change.
Loud and clear and you didn't get what i said i tell ya what next time you are at a Mavs game take a look up to the rafters at the WC banner and you will know what i meant about Dirk not getting it done.
And thanks Dallas for taking that knowledge and doing absolutely nothing with it.
It didn't prove that Dallas can be clutch in every series but it proved that what Dallas is capable of and they are even better this year.
Based on what their regular season. The Pistons put up 64 wins last year the Spurs put up 63 and neither one was as good as the year before especially the Pistons. You won't know if the Mavs are any better until probably the WCF.
Ahhh yes, the good old change of direction.......
Like the direction your precious Mavs took after benig up 2-0 in the Finals right?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's STILL only one NBA team in Texas without a Larry O'Brien beer mug........
Since you're a Mavs fan, I'll give you three guesses
