What a pussy. Avery said he's been working on getting Dirk to man up and play in the paint all season . Good work Avery.
One thing I've always found the Spurs weakness to be was mental toughness at critical times.
I just don't see the fire and fight in this Spurs team that I saw last year, simple as that.
Just as Derek Fisher hit that 0.4 shot and the next game being blown out, I think tonights game will be very close up until around the end of the 3rd or 4th quarter and if the Mavs get a lead, Mavs will hang on to win, and probably will blow out the Spurs.
Popovich doesn't really ignite his players to take challenges personal, and that bothers me. It's as if he's controlled the entire team as robots without any emotions. Well, emotions, contrary to what Popovich may believe, sometimes carries a team and players to unexpected levels.
We are seeing that with the Mavs...they just look like they've taken alot more pride to the court. The Spurs are playing "content" with their accomplishments. The Spurs don't look angry, mad, and look like nothing's phased them while the Mavs have come on court taking personal challenges and looking like a team that wants to prove something. Spurs do not look like they want to prove a damn thing. If they did, they would've wiped the floor with the Mavs in Game 4 instead of letting the Mavs creep back into the game and control it.
It's just not our year. Maybe next year when the Spurs watch the finals at home, someone will finally get "angry" and take it personal because that's what shows character, heart and determination.
Spurs are my team, but I'll be completely honest: Mavs have shown much more heart, pride, and fight.
Mavs definitely deserve what they've gotten.
You can call me whatever you like, but I'm not naive and ignorant to the point where I'm going to purposely close my eyes to reality. Reality is Mavs want this more than the Spurs.

No, in all honesty, it doesn't make me feel better. All that would make me feel better is for everyone to get the out of the way and let both these teams play, as well as they can play, and may the best team win.
That would make me feel a whole lot better.
Mavs have been the best team for 3 games.
Championship teams rarely cry about the refs. I hope the spurs take this "victims" complex into the 5th game. If so, it'll be over by the 3rd quarter.
Good post.
But it's not over yet. Don't write off the heart of a champion until it's finished. Passion and anger (neither of which, hopefully, will take the place of focus) just might appear when you least expect it...like in time for the next 3 games!
Championship teams rarely get hosed by the refs two games in a row in the playoffs.Championship teams rarely cry about the refs.
Because championship teams overcome that and don't resort to yelling at the commissioner when their play fails.
You mean the refs made Parker turn the ball over and miss freethrows in overtime? The refs made Duncan miss freethrows in the last minute? The refs made Duncan miss the game winning shot? I guess the refs were the ones who threw away all those inbounds passes.
Sack up. If the spurs take it to the Mavs these next three games you won't see me whining.
Talking about Cuban?
No, Mr. Bowen, who should have been concentrating on winning the game in the last 8 seconds. Instead he chose to whine. Bad choice.
Yeah, you are right...if the Spurs take the next three games we won't see you whining because you and the rest of the Mavs trolls won't be here.
Rather than doing it for an 8minute span, like Cuban
Mavs sacked up to the tune of .400 FG% and several turnovers in the fourth and they sacked up to be the recipients of bad calls and gift FTs and personal foul disqualifications. Way to sack up cowbooys.
How about Pop who does it throughout the game.
The forced turnovers and big shots in overtime are all I needed to see.
Duncan and Ginobili fouling out at the end of games 3 and 4, nahhh had ZERO effect AT ALL!!!!Whether or not the spurs are receiving bad calls, it hasn't been a determinative factor in this series.
Hey numbnuts, the whole TD missing the shot thing and TP missing the FTs thing shoulf NOT have even been a factor....there should not have been OT....PERIOD.
I am not even going to mention game 3...where I think the calls were even worse.
He was. He played flawless defense on Nowitzki which should have resulted in Nowitzki taking a tough shot near the end of regulation. Any player would be pissed in that situation. There was no foul.
Don't foul.
Yeah, it's just that simple.
"flawless"
As in constant hand checking, bumps, and reaches.
I didn't get much sleep last night so I watched game four again. The Spurs did play great.
If they can bring that level of play into tonight's game, the Spurs will blow out the Mavs unless of course, we get a crappy called game again. If that happens, god help the refs.
I think they are beginning to figure the Mavs out. Small ball is almost unstoppable offensively with TD and Manu as the facilitators. Defensively, the Spurs were scrambling but they were beginning to force tough shots and turnovers. I hope Pop uses the same rotation as the last game. It will work.
Hey genius.....the Mavs won because the foul was called...it should have been a non-call.
How many times should Dirk get to push off a defender when he posts up?
Someone should save this post for when we do win.
