Cuz Crawford is a ing moron
Except for the games Crawford calls.
Boils down to this: SA didn't execute down the stretch, 4 mins without a basket, too much freelancing by everyone (no, not blaming this on anyone in particular). Spurs do best when there is a lot of ball movement and they didn't have that at the end.
Good for SA staying in it with their best player in the locker room for over a quarter. CU in the playoffs.

I thought Ginobili turned it over, and Barry shot a patheticly stupid shot.Boy, Parker really ed up those last two possessions.
Good news. We won on the boards because we only played small about 3 minutes total. Sucked not having Tim though.
By the way, what's 36 - 26?
Glad you are convinced....don;t think the Spurs are. Trust me if the Mavs get to the WCF they want to face the Spurs
He had the nerve to laugh at a call made by Crawford and i guess his ego made it so he had to toss Timmy.
oh ok, heh Barry's shot was ANTI CLUTCH , it was terriblethat was Kobe on a bad day shot.
This is probably the only regular season loss I'm immune to being pissed off about
This
thenon the bench..
the some more
The Spurs won the rebounding battle.
Come on, thats a huge brightspot!!!
Bullcrap AP story:
DALLAS (AP) -- There's no such thing as a meaningless game when the Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs play.
Although their meeting Sunday had little bearing on the playoff picture, the Western Conference powers played a tense, emotional game that saw bodies flying, emotions overheating, Tim Duncan getting ejected and the Mavericks beating the Spurs 91-86 Sunday to end San Antonio's six-game winning streak.
The loss -- only the second in the Spurs' past 14 games -- locks them into the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. They have only themselves to blame, going without a field goal the last 6:32, missing nine straight shots, and not scoring any points over the last 4:17.
Dirk Nowitzki and Devin Harris each scored 21 points in a game the Mavericks may have used as their dress rehearsal for the playoffs. They won for the 66th time this season, tying the 1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks for ninth-best in league history, and finished 36-5 at home.
Gee it would have been nice if whatever idiot wrote that story had observed that Tim was on the bench laughing when he got the second T.
If you think about it. They (Spurs) seemed to have had an anxiety attack in the last 4:00 minutes of the game. Their shooting was horrifiic. Nobody had that confident stroke. Then you have the infamous Gino turnover, terrible time management on Barry followed with the shot from .
To summarize: When you have an all-star point guard,,,,HE is supposed to take control of the ball, penetrate, and dish out to the open man. However, Pop decided to give that detail to Manu...whom we all know will do his behind that back dribble and try to get away from a double team. This is not rocket science when you know Manu. The Mavs caught his game and literially ran away with it for their lead, to only leave the Spurs inferior. Once again...the Spurs were in perfect position to seal the win, only to fall flat on their faces with the rare anxiety attack.
Spurs got this thing. If there's one thing Duncan didn't need it was even more motivation. He'll drop 40 a game on these fools.
I also think that the Spurs showed some grit and toughness in hanging in there with their defense when things weren't going well offensively. The Spurs offense stagnated in the 4th, largely because the Mavs could pack the lane. The Spurs did manage to get some good looks, but didn't knock them down. They have to knock those shots down, obviously, to have a chance to win a playoff series, but it should be a bit less problematic with Duncan on the floor. And while I would have liked to have seen the Spurs find some ways to create offense without Duncan, I thought they did a great job of getting back and making things happen defensively by challenging shots, rebounding, and forcing some turnovers.
There are some real positives here, I think.
MANU HAD THE TURNOVER AND BARRY SHOT THE ING AIRBALL
this is classic

Wow - Parker was our high scorer! Just think how good a game he would've had if his head had been in the game - instead of his "other head" thinking about Eva!
YEAH i WAS IMPRESSED SPURS ARE NOT USED TO PLAYING A TOUGH TEAM WITHOUT DUNCAN IN 4
All I demand as a fan in any game in any sport are two things:
1) The players and coaches work as hard as they can to win
2) The game is fairly officiated and played on a level playing field
For some reason the NBA has completely dropped the ball in #2. As fans we should collectively demand better before spending a dollar on this entertainment.
Both Parker and Ginobili got it handed to them on the defensive end. I think it's good. We kind of showed a little bit of our cards with elson, and they did in using Buckner and whoever on Ginobili and Parker in stuff. Ginobili and Parker are gonna be more focused if we're lucky enough to meet these guys next month...so their turnovers didn't bother me.I thought Ginobili turned it over, and Barry shot a patheticly stupid shot.
Good news is now we can rest the big 3 the next 2 games and have them ready for denver, bad news for mavs GS just took the 8 seed.
christWow - Parker was our high scorer! Just think how good a game he would've had if his head had been in the game - instead of his "other head" thinking about Eva!
who let the middle schoolers in.
Wonder if Avery is going to limit his starters to 26 min. against the Warriors on Tuesday.
This was by no means a confidence booster for the MAvs to barely beat the Spurs with Tim gone for the whole 4th qtr.
Barry should be shot.I thought Ginobili turned it over, and Barry shot a patheticly stupid shot.
Laughing Technical? WHAT THE !
To be fair, I don't think Pop was about to open up the playbook down the stretch of THAT game in an effort to create offense. I think, from a strategic standpoint, the willingness to allow freelancing was mostly a matter of context.
