i've said it before ill say it again I hate AJ.
he'd better win a game or two before this series is over or else he'll be the next Adelman().
Though i like Adelman and I enjoyed watching game 6 in Sac. And the Kings fans like Duncan.
You were doing so well. Don't ruin it by trying to talk down to people.

It's pretty simple--I talk down to people who make foolish comments and deserved to be talked down to, and I show due respect and good manners to people who exhibit intelligence and reason and are willing/able to carry on a mature conversation (even in such an impersonal medium).
That's not going to change. It's irrelevant for you anyway, though, because you (from what i've seen) are certainly in the latter category.
How in the world would you assert that he is going to be the next Adelman? That comment really baffles me. If the Spurs win the next 3 games by 50 points each, AJ's not going anywhere. He's a of a basketball coach and I know for a fact Mark Cuban and the entire organization feels very, very fortunate to have him.i've said it before ill say it again I hate AJ.

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.
11. This is all because of those frickin' birds.
1) josh howard merits attention from bowen no doubt, i would rather have dirk go off than howard. but i think the best idea is have bowen rotate on the two
2) no kidding. where the heck is manu? i can only think he must be hurting b/c he plays too hard to disappear like this
3) you got that right. the spurs fans tonight were horrible! i was there and it was pathetic at least i was yelling at some mavs fans...that was fun. i think the spurs fans are too spoiled or they think they are en led to something
4) NVE has been horrible this entire playoffs (except very first game), and i mean horrible. the lack of a quality backup pg will need to be addressed in the offseason b/c it is killing us! maybe run brent at point some
5) notice how AJ's team is always scoring on us late in games when the outcome has already been determined. even when there is less than 24 seconds left in the game
6) the bench is old and three days off should do wonders for them
7) TD is playing great, otherwise we would be down 0-2
8) yeah, the refs cost us nothing. the spurs did not play well. the only reason the mavs got a ton of calls is b/c the spurs never rotated on defense and when your in a bad spot and someone is driving the lane your screwed
9) TP was bad tonight, but i'll give him a break b/c he was hurting
10) this is the spurs we are talking about, they will be just fine. they are smart and will make the necessary adjustments for game three. i expect the spurs to still win this series in 6
11) no reason and i mean no reason to panic. why everybody does baffles me
This is so lame. I'm not the biggest Cuban fan but your post is pathetic. I guess this is what happens when someone can't talk about basketball. What are you, a Kings fan who jumped on the Spurs bandwagon when your team went down?
BTW, I don't mean this in a sarcastic way but, all this Avery hating has made me idolize him so much more. I really appreciate that he's our coach because it just wasn't happening with Nelly.
I don't expect you to know, but Kris is joking on the Kings thing. He's a huge Spurs fan.
Anyway, the love for Avery here is massive, although it's just not going to be during this series and I bet it will diminsh some once it's over.
There are some people here who will continue to love Avery after it's all said and done (such as myself who likes the Mavs except when they're playing the Spurs). There are some people who would rather retire the number of The Coyote instead of Avery's and there are some who have blind hatred for him because he's part of the Mavs.
The majority of Spurs fans will have some love for Avery regardless of the outcome of this series, but I can bet the love just won't be shown until one of our teams has four victories.
Quit sucking Manu's D**K. He's not hurt, it's obviously mental. If he was hurt the Spurs would've mentioned it, like they have with Tony's. He's not right, the way he's jacking up three's, he not only misses....they're way off. He's driving and turning the ball over, he's undecisive. I don't know what's up, maybe the early injuries never allowed him to get in a rythum.
Popp, Timmy and Bowen work the refs ALL GAME LONG. , Timmy works the refs for his own teammates. The Mavericks will argue some calls but they pick their battles, they don't whine about every single call on them. Of course it's alright to you if Popp can say something in the press conference about how TP must have a target on his thigh because he's always getting hit by opposing team players. Why do you think he mentioned that? Fishing for something? Popp doesn't have to use the press conference when he's working the refs all game long and has duncan doing the same.
I feel the same way about Finley and Nash, especially Finley. I hate it when they do well against us but I still like them a lot.
really okay. for the time being...in a yr or 2.
take it easy
I remember he had at least 2 good games against SAC.
He scored 23 and 30 at home games.
No.1-1 now, and Spurs have 72 hours to rest now.
To start Moha...very risky move.
Maybe if the Spurs would lose game 3.
ahaha
man you are so full of it...
foolish comments?
if you have compared how pop handles certain situations (reffing) and compare it to other coaches you should know what i meant. but you were arrogant enough to actually insult me?
sure he wasn't blaming the refs for how we played but he wasn't stupid enough to see the bad calls that were going our way during key situations... the point is even if it was a close game and those calls were still made Pop will still not call that out. UNLIKE some coaches I know...
you're talking about analysing whats going on in another guys mind and doing that yourself LMAO.
can't stand people who makes themselves look good by insulting others but aren't sensitive enough to notice their faults
they are playing it inside the game... during the game not afterwards...
i don't know about that TP comment but if i was there i figure he was joking since it was really incidental geez... the guy jokes about this thing about manu...
let me do my share of venting...
first, whistle or no whistle, the Mavs beat the Spurs. Dirk wasn't so spectacular but he was solid for them. Howard and Harris were phenomenal. The Mavs were more aggressive, thus the calls. The Spurs couldn't get a shot to go in; sometimes they couldn't hanng on to the ball long enough to take a shot. it was just horrible. this is my take on the game:
1. Tim did a good job getting Diop and Dampier early fouls. Unfortunately, it didn't make much of a difference because he got his 3rd f***ing foul early in the 2nd.
2. I was happy when Tony was able to play but it was obvious early on that he didn't have energy or explosiveness. It's easy to forgive him then, since he was definitely sick.
3. Which makes what NVE did astoundingly stupid. It irritated me when he forced the triple just a few minutes after entering the game. That was a horrible, horrible shot. Then picked up two technicals in succession. You don't do that with your starting point guard hobbling and your third-string point guard not having played a single minute the previous game.
4. I am very very very disappointed of Manu. With Tim out with 3 fouls and Tony not having the speed tonight, you'd think he'd pick up the slack and rally his team back. What I saw was a hesitant and inconsistent player. Oh there were some flashes of Playoff Manu, but only flashes. I don't want to make excuses for him and just like most of you, I'm totally in the dark about why he's playing like this. It's an atrocity, an anomaly. Please find Manu,the guy I saw tonight was a stranger.
5. Tim was excellent again, but as concluded from the above statements, no one else shared the load with him. And he very well couldn't shoot from the bench, could he? The bench has won us a lot of games in the regular season and some key games in the Kings series and we're good as dead without their production.
6. I don't quite understand some of the lineups Pop put out there today. There was a long stretch when Tim was out (after the 3rd foul I think) that Manu wasn't on the floor. So Manu didn't do tonight. But I think Pop was slow to react to that one and when Manu came in, Dallas had already built a comfortable lead over us.
7. REFS SUCK. I hate the mind-games AJ is playing with the refs, and I hate the way the refs are dangling like a bunch of puppets, movnig in sync to AJ's tune. Ok, that's a bit too much. I know you should never look to the refs for help but tonight, those refs just sucked. There was that inandvertent whistle hulabaloo, the Dallas fouls turned to Spurs fouls...Everytime we made a resemblance of a run, there was always a whistle somewhere and then we lose what little momentum we've gained. When Tim picked up his 3rd foul early in the 2nd, I knew we were doomed. And it didn't help that it came through a questionable call.
So, the Spurs played like today. Hopefully, they can use the 4-day rest to regroup and dissect this game. I'm sure Pop has a truckload of notes by now. And please! Whatever you do Spurs, do it with passion. please.
I Still Believe
the spurs ing suck
I would try these matchups at the beginning:
Parker- Harris
Manu- Terry
Bowen- Howard
Horry- Dirk
Duncan- Diop
I think the Mavs are sth. like 20-0 when Howard scores more than 20. They should make Dirk drive all the time and avoid 3s! They should put Bowen on the guy who is hot at the end of the game.
I hope Tony gets well an our shooters find their strokes really soon... Its a long time till saturday... damn...
The Mavs are not nearly as good as the Spurs made them look last night.
i hate the biased refs..! i hate the redundancy of the commentators.. they repeated the effect of timmy's 3rd foul over and over again that i wanted to destroy the TV..! but still, i don't worry about this loss so much, i am more concerned about tony's injuries and manu's face.. gosh, the blood terrified me.. anyway, we've been in a more tight spot before, i know they will find a way to win.. There's no way we're gonna lose this series. i still believe. We have Timmy and they don't.
eh, shut the up you pompous .
9. I can't stand Avery now because he is trying so hard to win. I hope the Spurs hang on and beat the Mavericks and Avery cries his heart out.
At least this comment made me laugh.I don't know what the solution is but I will keep believing and pulling for my Spurs with all my might. Last night I wanted Massenburg in the game to lay some wood on Harris and Howard. We need someone who can come in and take hard LEGAL fouls on those penetrating guards. But I will give Dallas credit for playing hard and with a purpose. I hope that our Spurs will respond with a champion's heart in the next game. Go Spurs Go!!
Spurs played badly and there are a couple of things to bear in mind:
1)-Spurs are not playing like a champion, they are allowing mavs to get a lot of offensive rebounds and their USUAL defense is totally vanished.
2)-Howard is playing GREAT basketball and it would seem there is no way to stop him, at least nobody can guard him. Nowitzki is not being amazingly the KEY of this series, beyond his numbers are good he is not playing at his highest level.
3)-Tim Duncan is the only spurs who is playing aggressively. Tony Parker is hurt, you can notice that so he is struggling with that. As some people said, i believed manu was going to come up, but he just continued doing the same thing, passing the ball and playing passively. Sometimes i think manu is still in Argentina. In fact, it seems as manu gets round the ball or something like that, i cant understand why.
Where were you last year when he helped lead us to a ring, Tfart?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.
