At this point, 'jokes' like these have become synonymous with mom jokes.
4 rings BIATCH!
With both teams having injuries and not being contenders anymore, this Mavs/Spurs game is far less exciting than usual.
Spurs wins over Dallas!!
Dallas Mavericks (33-22) at San Antonio Spurs (37-17)
(Sports Network) - With their annual "Rodeo Road Trip" in the rear-view mirror, the San Antonio Spurs will welcome their Southwest Division rivals, the Dallas Mavericks, to the Alamo City for the opener of a three-game homestand.
The Spurs finished their annual trek in winning fashion on Saturday when Roger Mason burned his former team by scoring 25 points to lead San Antonio to a 98-67 rout of the lowly Washington Wizards.
Mason, who played for the Wizards from 2006-08 before signing as a free agent with the Spurs before this season, went 5-of-9 from three-point range.
Michael Finley had 19 points for San Antonio, which has won back-to-back contests after a two-game skid. They went 5-3 on the road trip.
Tim Duncan contributed 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, who beat the Wizards for the sixth straight time.
San Antonio, which is 18-7 at the AT&T Center, will finish its three-game residency with bouts against Portland and Cleveland.
The Mavs, who are 4 1/2 games behind San Antonio in the standings, also found themselves on the winning end of their most recent contest when James Singleton had a season-high 19 points and 12 rebounds off the bench, as Dallas used a 70-point first half to cruise past the Sacramento Kings, 116-95.
Josh Howard and Brandon Bass each scored a team-high 20 points for Dallas, which recorded its highest-scoring half of the season. The Mavs rebounded from a 93-86 loss at Houston last Friday, as Jason Kidd added 11 points and 11 assists in the win.
On the injury front, San Antonio star sixth man Manu Ginobili, who has been out since the All-Star break, is expected to miss two more weeks with a right ankle injury. Ginobili also missed San Antonio's first 12 games of the season after offseason surgery on his left ankle. Meanwhile, Dallas super-sub Jason Terry remains on the sidelines after left hand surgery.
The two teams have split a pair of meetings this season with each club winning on the other's home court. Most recently, the Spurs outlasted the Mavs, 133-126, in a double-overtime thriller in Dallas.
Go Spurs!! Mavericks better watch out.
Your mom has 4 rings, GOT!!!
Finley is still second? Not bad... Btw, the one in the lead is Dirk... a PF who has made already 1,063 3's in his career.
They're rested and ready to play-this is the kick off to the playoffs. This will be a great test for the Spurs. Since both teams are without Jet and Manu, tonight will be all about purpose and execution. Spurs are going to have to win and keep on winning even without Manu, so we can remain 2nd seeds.
If it's close, Spurs by 6, if not, it will be a blowout. But usually these teams play it hard and close until the end. I'm really interested in seeing how Hill and Mason produce tonight. I'll be at the game tonight. You all better have some good commentaries for me to read when I get home! GO SPURS!

This will be a blowout. Spurs on home court.
It was exactly like I predicted. Not even a contest. And with BOTH Manu and Tim out.
However the hapless mavs are such a of a team that the Spurs should not get a false sense of security and think that they are suddenly invincible. Next game against a decent team worthy of a NBA spot will be much better indicator of the Spurs current status.
At any rate it was fun to laugh our asses off to the Dallas Academy mavs and their inep ude and total lack of heart and character.
