I couldn't see well what happened, but I did hear Rob discuss it on the impact show. I can't quote him directly but you'll get this is the gist of it: " I want to apologize to the fans for that. I almost went Mike Tyson for a minute there but stopped myself. It is all cool now."
I thought it was very classy of Rob to offer the apology all on his own like that.
Rob was also great about showing love to the fans. He said that we make a huge impact the way we come out and cheer, that we were a big help to the team, and that the team couldn't do what they do without us.
It was an excellent win by the guys.
Sometimes when games are close like that, I am nervous, but not tonight. I just knew they would come through.
It was so great to see Fin let Dallas have it. How do you like him now, Mark Cuban?
I couldn't believe how many times Avery had his guys foul ours in the last minute. Give it up man, we beat ya.
Just stopped by to say congrats to the Spurs and fans. By the looks of tonights game, it's going to be one of a seven game series come playoff time.
That makes more sense. From my perspective, despite one game being at home and the other on the road, imagine seeing that Pistons game in the first two weeks of the season, and this one tonight. They don't seem like the same team. And if the Mavs had gone from featuring Dirk more to featuring him exclusively as a shooter, they aren't going to win against San Antonio's set defense.
Yeah the mavs played too much 1 on 1. Harris definitely has puts a lot more pressure on the defense and is the mavs best passer. Daniels was a no show along with many other players. Stackhouse though usually sucks so nothing new there but the other players played tentatively and the offense was easily stopped since Dirk tried to do everything but Bowen was all over him.
The best part:It was so great to see Fin let Dallas have it. How do you like him now, Mark Cuban?
Cuban just paid Finley $194,000 to help beat the Mavs tonight.

Where are all the Finley haters???
Purty quiet....
You play like , you lose, that's it nothing else to it.
Congrats to a regular season win that does nothing but tie us, see you in April. I think we're awake now, you can expect a blow out soon.
I'm not sure it's a regular season win that does nothing but tie the teams -- it's a win that gives the Spurs the tiebreaker (for the moment at least). It also is a win that says to the Mavericks that 19 of 21 is good enough only to get you a tie in the standings. Not many teams can go 19-2 and only make up one game while also falling behind for tiebreaker purposes. Nice effort to keep that chin up, but I'm not buying it.
Familiar refrain.
That's funny. The Mavs seemed rather awake at the start of the game. Stop with the lame excuses already.Congrats to a regular season win that does nothing but tie us, see you in April. I think we're awake now, you can expect a blow out soon.
I expected a loss, this game meant far more to the Spurs than it did to the Mavs. They need this win, they couldn't fall farther behind the Mavs. Honestly what did the Mavs lose with this game? We beat you on April 7 and even if we are tied at the end of season we're in 1st. Anyway like I said enjoy your regular season victory.......... At least we can beat Detroit
What excuse? The Mavs played like crap and deserved to lose. I said as much 2 minutes into the 2nd quarter..........
Well, I was taking my cue from the Mavs fans who sat near me at the game tonight. They were convinced that tonight was a big game for the Mavs.I expected a loss, this game meaned far more to the Spurs than it did to the Mavs. They need this win, they couldn't fall farther behind the Mavs. Honestly what did the Mavs lose with this game?

If the Mavs came in with nothing to lose, it can't be terribly good for that team's confidence to blow a double-digit lead on the road against a supposed rival, to allow that rival to essentially double its first half output in the 3rd quarter, and to allow that rival to shoot north of 60% in the second half. The Mavs had a chance to send a message tonight; in typical Mavs fashion, though, they rolled over and got smoked in the 2nd half.

Yeah, in January or whenever when it doesn't count.
Right, and of course the opponent had nothing to do with it.
I'm pretty sure that's not how it works...

The Mavs are like incarcerated felons -- their failings aren't their fault; somebody screwed them over.
Weren't the Mavs the ones coming into this game with something to prove? I'm not sure where the dire part of the story begins for the Spurs. After all, they're about a decade past getting excited over a March win or loss.
All we need is for a Mav Fan to tell us that they've won the "real championship". Maybe I need to check one of the Bowen threads for that.
um. where do i start?.....................
I know mav fans wanted bragging rights on leading the matchup series but this is still only a regular season game. It just hurts to lose to the spurs but I am not ready to give up on this team.
Had you won, you would've used the phrase "statement game" over and over and over.
Seems like everybody is over losing to the Peons twice...
Denial, aint just a river in egypt apparently.
