    Start Parker game 2, play Temple and leave RMJ as the water boy please

    The spurs shot 14fts because they played soft. They didn't drive they weren't agressive. Period. The refs were bad but the spurs lack of agression helped nothing.

    One thing that didnt hit me until the end of them game was that Temple didnt see any action.. sure hes a rookie and has no experience what so ever but he may have been more effective over a injured hill.

    He played him perfectly. Bodied him up kept the hands straight up. Rip bonner for choking again that I agree with. Defensvely you can't fault him that much...
    i agree... its just the bonner effect. he plays solid D but his face gives the offensive players confidence.

    Good analysis timvp! I've been seeing post & post about the refs...enough about the refs....regardless of calls, Spurs didn't play well enough to win....silver lining is that they weren't blown out....if they played better in spots, etc., they may have won.

    Well, this game is over....time to move on to Game 2....now if they go back to SA down 0-2, there is cause for concern that this will be a short series....with Spurs on the losing end.

    I don't care how many millions we are paying Roger Mason Jr. If his only value-add to the team is to foul Dampier, then he should be told to go sit in the corner on offense and if by some rare chance they have to pass him the ball and the shot clock has more than 2 seconds on it, he has to give it up. He has a better chance of drop-kicking the ball through the hoop than trying to line one up. He's an unmitigated disaster and the last guy off the bench has a better chance of producing. You don't determine your rotations by the amount of money a guy makes. RMJ needs to have a permanent bench spot and not see a sniff of action unless it is to foul Dampier.

    I was really surprised at the number of possessions where Bonner was expected to check Dirk 1-on-1. How is that ever going to work? He tries his heart out, but will never be able to check him.

    Keith Bogans is no Bruce Bowen. You cannot expect him to guard Dirk. He's giving up massively on height and weight. And Bogans is an offensive re . If you're going to play him, he should be Butler's shadow and that is all.

    We had a shot to win tonight, and the sloppy play and poor rebounding effort was the downfall. But if Mason, Bogans, and Bonner continue to see the minutes they saw tonight, we'll lose in 5 again.

    We're a 2 vs. a 7. You've gotta role the dice on the road. Give Temple and Blair more PT in the 2nd half and lets see what happens. Because we know what happens when Mason, Bogans, and Bonner are on the floor: NO OFFENSE WHATSOEVER.

    Damp was hacked on two shots in the post to prevent point blank dunks or layups. That is simply a fact.

    Anyway, I honestly dont give a crap what you think, turd. It's time to flush the toilet

    People keep saying the Mavs "only" won by 6. They only were favored by 4.

    And, just to play devil's advocate, they were up 12 with 1:50 left before clearly giving up some easy baskets to avoid fouling (e.g., letting Parker drive to the hoop to make sure that he wouldn't make the shot and get the and-1 anyway). This wasn't one of those 6 point games where the winning team is up 2-3 with :30 seconds left and the losing team misses a shot or two and has to foul in desperation. The Mavs had it completely in the bag with ~3 minutes to go.
    It wasn't a blowout, but the Mavs were in control of this game the entire fourth quarter. The Spurs never really seriously threatened after the 3-ball that put Dallas up 81-68 because they couldn't get stops. Dallas pretty much had a 3-possession lead the entire fourth quarter and at that point the outcome wasn't much in doubt.

    I don't know how anyone couldn't be discouraged about this game. Honestly, it might as well have been a repeat of '09, only Ginobili played the role of Parker and Duncan was healthy. Other than that, the team was poorly coach, looked overwhelmed, lacked cohesion and once again, I get the sense from listening to post game comments that they plain don't believe. And if that's the case, forget about it. If they don't have that, nothing else will matter. Though with Hill out and Nowitzki receiving treatment from the officials that exceeds that of Jordan himself, you can probably forget about it anyway.

    Everyone is focused on the turnovers, but look how efficiently the big three scored. That's not going to happen every game and when it doesn't, this team is in major trouble. The lack of depth is glaring. Bonner, Bogans, Mason, these guys aren't depth, they're a waste of space.

    Deplorable coaching, yet again. Eight minutes for Blair? How does Pop know he can't guard Nowitzki? He's never given him a ing chance. He can't be any worse than Bonner and at minimum, he'll make Nowitzki defend and provide the Spurs with rebounding. With Hill out, Blair is at minimum a top six player on this team. When you need all the help you can get, you can't afford to not have one of your most productive players on the floor. Pop needs to bench Bonner and go with a three big rotation.

    I'm not really discouraged about this game because when things got rolling for San Antonio the whistles blew. They had some really nice runs in the first 3 quarters that got cut short by TO's (which can be corrected) and atrocious officiating which led up to what we witnessed in the 4th. I think things will balance out for Game 2.

    Agreed. Dirk was really getting the calls tonight. I remember one foul on Matt when he eas guarding Dirk in the corner. Matt was standing upright with his hands straight up and Dirk was slightly bent over trying to initiate a drive. He couldn't and seemed to lose his balance. Whistle blows and Matt gets the foul. Bonner didn't do a damn thing but Dirk gets the call. It was his night and the refs didn't seem to mind, either.

    Blair cannot guard Dirk.

    i don't agree that Bonner played well defensively. he played him as best he could, but that isn't could enough. you need to have someone that is either long and athletic or wide and physical to guard him. Bonner doesn't fit the either bill. Dirk basically just toys with him.

    Considering how this team looked during most of the regular season, their poor showing in Game 1 really wasn't surprising.

    The defensive effort was poor, the turnovers were high, the offensive execution and ball movement were terrible. Last but not least, the performance of the role players was woefully substandard.

    With the lack of productivity from the role players, Pop should've never banished Blair to the bench.

    It's only one game, but there is a reason the Mavs are the #2 seed, just like there's a reason the Spurs fell to the #7 seed. Unless the Spurs can find a way to somehow slow down Nowitzki, this series will be over quickly.

    -Try Ian vs. Dirk? ..
    I believe Salvatore whistled Ian for a foul when he stood up to remove his warmups.

    Neither can Bonner, yet he's on him all the time as if he can, why? Like I said, at least Blair would make Nowitzki guard and would give the Spurs rebounding.

    Blair would ruin the spacing. Playing a guy useless outside of 10 feet next to Tim Duncan isn't going improve the Spurs offense. It's still worth trying out, but I can see why Pop was reluctant to do it.
