Kori's Game Two Venting Thread

I Love It!!!

[Brutalis]

I love it when the is talking and there's nothing to back it up yet. Turns into a big pool of everyone's swimming in when it blows up in their face.

Are we finding out we CANT MATCHUP with other teams? WTF?

Why don't we make them matchup with us if we're the defending champs we must have done something right last year.

I don't think you can changed your damn lineup in the playoffs and expect to have the same cohesion and team play as you had in the regular season. If we lose, we lose but go with what we know won us 63 damn games.

That is what I am thinking too.

In the playoffs against the Suns, most dissed the Spurs because they thought they cannot match with their brand of basketball. Let us see what CIA Pop do in game 3.

Officiating (mind you, not the refs) and injuries, though, play crucial roles in any team's series.

[smeagol]

One more time I have to give props to whottt who has been saying what many of you are saying now, years ago: AJ!

[smeagol]

If Ginobili doesn't do something in this series to help Duncan out, it, and put him on the block.

Last year you jumped off the Spurs wagon, now you jump off the Manu wagon and ask that he be traded.

You are truly and idiot.

[smeagol]

when is the last time manu had a great road game in playoffs
saying is number 8 he better so up all game not just in the second half like in game 6 against kings

he is injured and can not play back to back games
limited to 30 minutes a night


is he still not over that stupid turnover?
if not trade him

ducks, when you talk about Manu, you are as stupid as Tpark when he talks about almost anything.

[SequSpur]

Just answer me one thing Mavs fan, why does Cuban insist on showering with "the guys" when he's not sweaty?

Avery.

those clickers.

[Bloodline666]

Your own coach said the refs had nothing to do with this game. I believe him a little. I'm sure he thinks some calls were off also tho.

Pop only said that to avoid the very fine your own team's owner got slapped with. Surely, you've seen Pop get a technical for ing at the refs, did you not?

And while I'm still venting, I'd just like to know...

WHY DIDN'T POP HIRE BOBBY KNIGHT OUT OF INDIANA UNIVERSITY RIGHT AFTER HE FIRED BOB HILL?!

[RonMexico]

Couldn't have said it better myself... good thing you have a lot more "street cred" (i.e. 3,500+ more posts) than I do, so at least I wouldn't be flying solo if I said the same thing.

[pache100]

Better take those blood pressure pills now boys and gals!

And better order those refills before another blow-out loss in Big D!!!

Complete ownage!

Catching anything?

[Slomo]

Hey Wolves009

Look what I found on Amazon.com:

Catching anything?

Just a bunch of for his stupid posts.

[strangeweather]

Okay, so go back to Rasho or Nazr .. who's guarding Dirk and who's guarding Howard?

Do you move Bowen off Dirk and let him guard Howard and then risk Tim getting in foul trouble trying to guard Dirk?

I think you leave Horry starting, put him on Dirk and Bowen on Howard for 3 quarters, then switch Bowen to Dirk in the 4th to shut him down for the stretch. Odds are, Howard doesn't find his groove late if he's been shut down the whole game.

Of course, I that still leaves open the question of what to do with Harris. But I think if Tony is feeling better after a few days off, you can put him on Harris and Manu on Terry.

Some of you evidentaly missed the calls...

A few go go back and look for...

Manu getting elbowed in the face and called for the foul.
Finley getting elbowed in the face and called for the foul.
Brent Barry having defensive position outside the circle for about 30 minutes and still getting the blocking foul.
Tim Duncan getting held by Dampier, shoved into the circle by him, and then getting called for the blocking foul.

Those are just a few...there were more...but there were about 5 fouls in that game that were Mav fouls that were called on th Spurs.


It's one thing to get no calls...it's entirely another to actually recieve a foul when it is the other team commiting it, multiple times in the same game. Blatantly.

It's funny you say this...I actually started having a Great Time watching the game! It was hilariously funny how awful these calls were. Even my dad kept saying, "Why is the other team getting to shoot?" He would be a better ref then those re s.

I felt sorry for Manu...he got bamboosled! He couldn't do anything right...if he touched someone he got a foul, if someone smacked him upside his head he got a foul, if he didn't even touch the ball for crying out loud there was a jump ball!

David Stern needs to get his head out of the sand and start nailing fines on the Refs, not Cuban...he is the least of our worries! Ohh wait, he is the one who said the spurs should share the champ rings...so he definetly isn't on our side.


A Blog...he got fined for a blog...where is the freedom of speech here?? Was this blog on an NBA forum or something?? I don't understand how Stern can do that?? I could see if he did it during a press conference...but this is just odd. I would sue him...hahaha

Same with Manu...he committed a blocking foul on Harris and Harris' elbow caught him while going up for the shot. It's not like Harris' threw an elbow. Unlucky for Manu really. Had Harris' elbow just missed Manu, would it have been a foul on Manu? An incidental elbow doesn't change anything...

Finley committed a foul and just happened to get hit in the face while doing so. Just because a guy takes on in the chops doesn't mean HE was the one that got fouled...

If getting hit in the face means that YOU got fouled, then everybody should just start sticking their head into people and drawing fouls for taking a shot to the face....


Barry...that one was weird...I guess the ref saw something.

ginobili was outside of the circle, and stationary. harris drove right into him. that's a charge.

[LEONARD]

Oh...

Well, since you said so, then I guess that's the case. Maybe you'll get to ref the game Saturday...

[FromWayDowntown]

Indeed. I think this is precisely the principle that had David Robinson drawing a foul when Karl Malone nearly killed him with a wayward elbow.

Incidental contact.

[leemajors]

i was just pointing out the obvious, since you seem to have missed it.

[LEONARD]

It was a blocking foul.

[Hook Dem]

Thats fine just as long as you see it the same way when it happens to you!

[leemajors]

It was a blocking foul.

Just pointing out the obvious, since you seem to have missed it.

it was called a blocking foul, but was not a blocking foul by definition. agree to disagree.

[LEONARD]

it was called a blocking foul, but was not a blocking foul in my opinion. agree to disagree.

Absolutely. The lineup that won 63 games gave the Spurs a strong interior defense, a defense that certainly didn't give up layup after layup. Is it perfect? No, but at least you can better control your own defensive paint and limit your opponent's offensive opportunities. Having Horry or a guard playing alongside TD blows that defense up. I'd much rather have a Nazr/TD/Bowen frontline guarding Dampier/Nowitzki/Howard. The Spurs' entire defensive scheme has always been predicated on the perimeter players funneling players into those shotblockers. It has been one of the most successful defenses in the history of the NBA and in no small part is responsible for those 3 championship banners which currently hang in the at&t Center. If you keep the Mavs out of the paint, this is an entirely different series. I expect that Pop will kill his experiment and move back to playing Spurs Basketball.
