Spurs vs. Mavericks Game 4 -- Game Blog

[Mavs<Spurs]

Just heard some bad news. Dirk's ankle is really swollen.

If you're not joshing us, I'm sorry to hear that. Basketball is basketball. I was sorry that Sheed hurt his ankle and I don't really care for him. Dirk doesn't seem like a bad guy, so I'm even more sorry to hear that about him.

People > Basketball.

Even if he can't play, at home mavsfan1000 you can expect your role players to really step up and the crowd could be a huge boost for you. The advantage of Dirk having a hurt ankle is that any possible complacency that could have slipped in is probably gone.

No matter what, I don't think Dallas will just give us a game. We're going to have to go win it.

Go Spurs!

Smallball doing good so far.

I can feel the championship D coming back. Most of if not all of the mavs points have been contested jumpers

[Deb]

Hey, finally we're looking better in the first

[exstatic]

I can't believe how much they are booing him!

If I had a "friend" who suggested that the fans boo me, he'd be getting a porkchop to the jaw next time down. Dirk is an asshole.

[Leetonidas]

The Spurs are playing very good defense right now. And they started small! Amazing.
