[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Only 4 O boards - huge difference there.

Better D.

Tony on fire.

Nice win.

4th QTR already?? And they're keeping a good lead?? Jesus.Mary & Joseph!

[Crookshanks]

Mavs only have 4 offensive rebounds - good work guys!

Alright well im done watchin, spurs fans enjoy the rest of the game and

[phxspurfan]

I don't get the fascination you all have w/ Hill. He was awesome to start the year when TP was hurt, but I've really never been all that impressed with him.

And I'm not saying he shouldn't be playing any minutes ... but all the clamoring for him, you all make it out like he's a great player.

Maybe I need to watch him some more to feel the same love so many of you have for him.

It's not that he's that good. It's that he needs to play to get better. Pop doesn't seem to ever want to put him in and that won't be good for his development, if he even cares about developing him any longer.

i tend to agree here, i dont think hes a great player at all. but i think hes got great potential and could develop into a nice player. for that reason, i want him to get some minutes.

Parker is tired. Play Hill.
The Big Drizzle NEEDS the ball down low. He was owning them until Pop decided to stop posting him up.

[TampaDude]

Spurs gotta stay focused...the Mavs are capable of cutting the lead to single digits in the blink of an eye if they're not careful.

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

I'm convinced Mavs will get every call under the basket on both sides of the court all series long...

Nothing new there.

[polandprzem]

Take parker out of the game Pop!

Duncan with the elbow hug for Parker.

[Supergirl]

HIll will get a lot of minutes next year...and when he hits his sop re slump, all his fan club members here will suddenly abandon ship on him. But he's gonna be good. Just not this year.

[Crookshanks]

Parker needs someone to come in for him so he can get some rest. He can't play at this level and intensity for a 7-game series. He'll burn out.

[Borosai]

Hill would allow Parker to rest more. Hill is a good defender. Hill is the best option at backup PG right now.

Still, the best adjustment of the night: Bowen on Barea.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Parker:29 minutes 35pts (16-22 FG%) 7asts 4rbs 2stls 3to's

Not too shabby!

[smrattler]

I think it was Gooden, his energy, hustle and urgency he played with to start the game actually set the tone, like Manu usually does for us off the bench. Takes our game to another level with the reserve unit, an area the Mavskilled us on last game. He was baaaaaallin'.

He's a very good defender, and shows flashes of athletic offense that surprise. Kid can play and should be playing on JJ in this series, but Pop is BENOPHOBIC so he sits.

I think it's a great opportunity to blood the kid and get him used to the playoffs, but Pop obviously disagrees.

[Chomag]

TP needs to come out we need him at full energy again next game. Pull him out but if the lead drops below 15 you can bring him back in, but give tha man a break.

[Biggems]

Dallas has shot 9 more FTs than us......I just dont see how that happens...

we are the home team, the favorite, the more aggressive team, and living in the paint with Parker....yet, we are so far behind in FT attempts.

most of those are the refs kissing dirks pasty ass.

[Solid D]

Parker can't come out. He's shooting FTs.

+1

Pop must have lost faith in Gooden cause he was only 4 for 5. Shouldn't have missed that shot.

[polandprzem]

Parker can't come out. He's shooting FTs.

yup ;]

[Supergirl]

you know Parker's on fire when he's even making his FTs

[Biggems]

that should be a technical....Bass threw an elbow at Gooden after the play
