i never thought we'd lose with dirk, terry, and kidd having subpar games.

We got beat by barea, bass, and dampier.

I was at the game last night.

My thoughts:

First of all there were alot of Mav fans. I couldn't believe it. I assume its the same in Dallas though when it comes to Spur fans. The cities are close to one another so makes sense.

Tony Parker did not bring his A game at all. He was getting to the basket really easy in the first half, but in the second half he was so tired. I'll give credit to the Mav's defense, but I didn't see anything that TP can't overcome.
He basically played the whole 3rd quarter. He looked very tired in the 4th quarter. We need him to play like a superstar if we want a chance to go deep in the playoffs.

And I don't know why, but the Mavs bring it against us. I don't know what it is, but they play like they've been the 8 time champs and ain't nobody beating them. They always bring thier A game and the Mavs that we have seen against the Warriors and Heat completly disappear. All I can do is laugh because it's just so wierd. I wonder why they choke so bad against other teams. They should kick other team's ass. They were built to beat us, but noone else?

There's no denying the Spurs played well, offensively at least. The key was the 9-0 (or whatever it was) run by Dallas in the 4th quarter.

WHAT???

a semi-intelligent post?

Or being outscored by 7 points in the 2nd quarter, 4 in the 3rd, and 8 in the 4th, topped off by allowing the Mavs to shoot 53.8% for the game. Yikes indeed.

dallas is going to feast on the spurs again Monday and go up 2-0. the end is near. Duncan is getting old and eve was never that pretty. I am going to be in SA with my mavs gear on. I will be the guy on the third row with the Dirk Jersey on and the sign that says "Duncan is gay".

Good luck with that. He's got an honors degree in psychology but I'm sure you're going to be able to get in his head.

Good point...nothing to be concerned about...

Spurs killed it from the 3 pt line
Mavs sucked from the 3 pt line
Dirk and Terry were below avg
Spurs had a big lead early
Spurs only turned it over 9 times

Yet the Mavs won easily in the end...

Look to SPURS to make slight adjustments but keep the same game plan. And in the end spurs will come out on top.......

I would like to see pop make a slight lineup adjustment by putting this lineup in the game to start.
TD,DG,TP,MF,RMJ. I think that would be a unstoppable lineup for the SPURS and play them almost all game...
