2010 Playoffs: Round 1, Game 1 - Spurs vs Mavs Game Blog

[Spursmania]

The refs need to calm the heck down and let them play. Somebody tell them it's the playoffs.
And, Don't they watch film? Dirk splaying himself on the court every chance he gets is so predictable.

[jestersmash]

Mavs are supposed to win this game. If spurs stole a single game from them, home court advantage is ours again. We just need to win one of these two to do that.

I promise he's not the savior

better than mason though.

RJ has to get it together for the Spurs to have a chance in this game and series. If continues to play like his vagina is bothering him the Spurs will not have enough firepower to get past the Mavs.

Spurs have a healthy Manu. Things will be OK. Manu will not let the Mavs win this series.

The Spurs lost in 2006 with a healthy Manu.

Hill being gimpy is a huge blow. RJ being worse than expected also doesn't help.

RJ only has 2 shot attempts. You guys are focusing on the wrong things.

[nadroj117]

One of the biggest losers the last 15 years

TALKING ABOUT WEBBER


Yeah he's had about the same career as Dirk, so I'd have to agree

[Killakobe81]

I meant IF rj grows a pair ...upset probable.

RJ should at least = Caron or come close Caron is better overall player but they are similar ...

RJ's contributions similar to Luke's today ...

[Bob Lanier]

McDyess has played surprisingly well. The Spurs should be happy with the production they've gotten out of all their bigs but Duncan.

Blair has come to play. He will play as hard as he can in the playoffs.

Maybe he needs more minutes.

Blair is looking tougher than Hill, Bonner, Mason Jr. and RJ combined. This will take a HUGE team effort to beat this very, very good Dallas team.

Needs to play tougher on defense then...

I promise he's not the savior

I really wouldn't mind seeing Temple for a few minutes just to see what he's got and if he can carry his good play into the postseason

ah! now it all make sense thx!

[jag]

better than mason though.

True...but Hill is the one that really needs to get involved.

[Fpoonsie]

TOs are the key to the current deficit, unforced ones at that. The Parker attempt to RJ for the breakaway dunk was a PRIME example.

If both TP and Manu can stop trying to force the issue, the Spurs should be in decent shape. Not predicting a W, but they'd atleast have a chance to keep it close.

Dice has looked as good as can be expected.

The Spurs lost in 2006 with a healthy Manu.

I think Manu was a little banged up in that series. I am sure Kori mentioned both TP and Manu were banged up.

[sefant77]

Exactly. He knows losers. Can see them from a mile away because he was so proficient at it. He saw him some losers tonight. And it's not the team in black.

So you wanna compare a class-act like Dirk that is never shy of a compliment for his opponent (even if its about bags in Denver) with a sore loser like Webber that takes any chance to trash certain players or teams in front of the camera?

Really? Thats the big point...

Let's do this

[TampaDude]

The Spurs lost in 2006 BECAUSE OF a healthy Manu.

TD hasn't been THAT bad.

[jdev82]

nobody has talked about jason terrys ty game. he has been a non factor. 0-5 1 assist, 1 steal 1 foul.

Paging the Spurs role players...the second half is starting and your presence is requested. Thank you.

[007nites]

how do we leave dirk open??

[DPG21920]

Dirk with no remorse.

[TDomination]

Too easy, can't leave him wide open
