oh when nve plays more then 10 minutes the spurs are 4-0
-Spurs fans, look at your tickets. They have a time on there. Show up before that damn time and be ready to go. Empty seats make me puke and I don't like puking.
-Spurs fans, Arco arena, the AT&T is the loudest place in the leauge.
-Bruce Bowen is flat out incredible. Dirk will have to ask Bruce permission next time he wants to even think about scoring because thats how much Bowen has him on lockdown with absolutely no chance of parole.
-Dallas had one chance to steal one and it clanged off the rim like a Jerry Stackhouse jumper. The Spurs looked lethargic at times and the Mavs were coming off of 4 days of rest and they still coudln't get it done. How do they expect to win the next game?
-Duncan is the MVP. I don't care what Kobe, Lebron, or Nash do because Duncan will just post them up and score on them like little es.
-Don't even mention Dirk for MVP. He has to ask permission from Bowen before he's allowed to win any awards.
-How in the did Jerry Stackhouse manage to finish 10/21 from the field? The man was on fire early but still managed to take enough bard shots to shoot under 50% for the game. Thats just horrible.
-The rest of the leauge should be afraid if they saw the 2nd half today. That was shutdown basketball at its finest. That was Spurs championship basketball. When the Spurs play that kind of D, not even Detroit will beat them. Its ing ON.

When the AT&T actually sounds loud on TV, you know it must be rocking.
On the last play, Stack had the baseline and Dampier had Duncan sealed. I say, for the 78th time, what a dumb .
If Dirk even dreams about scoring, he better wake up and apologize to Bruce.
Ah, I'll give all the credit in the world to Bruce Bowen for doing a great job on Dirk but you guys are acting like the guy scored 6 points on 3 of 25 shooting.
The crowd must be getting up for a great Dallas team.
I wish I could be there!

Exactly right.The rest of the leauge should be afraid if they saw the 2nd half today. That was shutdown basketball at its finest. That was Spurs championship basketball. When the Spurs play that kind of D, not even Detroit will beat them. Its ing ON.

That guy is your franchise.
ANd when hes taken out of the game in the 4th quarter, like he was?
Thats pathetic.
Bring a skirt to game 2 Dirk, you didn't hit it past the red tees today .
You're right. He didn't score only six points. Bruce mearly held him to 7 in the 2nd half and 2 in the fourth.
. Dirk was on FIRE.
Bruce mearly held him to 7 in the 2nd half and 2 in the fourth
Folks,
thats what we call
BOWNED
The Spurs' D choked those es for the last 4 minutes of the game.
The fans were awesome throughout- except the slackers who were late.(I noticed that too Manny.)
The crowd really was fantastic. I hope all the same people come back Tuesday.![]()
You're absolutely right. Dirk will never be successful against Bowen.
It's crazy of the Mavs fans to even think that Dirk could ever had a great game if Bowen's guarding him. He may as well not even try.
Furthermore, how foolish of us to think that the Mavs might ever win a game in SA, and that such a win would come on the heels of a great performance by Dirk. We all know, as you so profoundly assert, that such a thing will never happen--and in fact, has never happened in the past. At least, not as long as Bruce Bowen is alive.

And yet the Spurs only won by 2. You talk like it was a blowout.
Mavs win the next 3.

Not if they can't capitalize on a situation like today. But, I know, San Antonio has a large Hispanic population.
Win the next 3?And yet the Spurs only won by 2. You talk like it was a blowout.
Mavs win the next 3.
If you think Stackhouse will shoot like that again, your dreamin.
If you think Ginobili will stink like that and Horry and others will miss open shots like thata again, your in for a rude awakening.
Probably so. In fact, it will probably be so bad that the Mavs will win that 3rd game and the league will call the series off.

I don't think anyone is acting as though the Spurs accomplished anything significant today. They held serve; but they did it under some pretty adverse cir stances. I think most honest Spurs fans were quite worried about this game, given the quick turn-around from Round 1. I was pleased that the Spurs showed a great deal of heart and a ton of mental toughness. I didn't think the Mavs played very well (though they also didn't appear rusty to me), but I also didn't think the Spurs played very well on the offensive end. It's a long series with a lot of ball to be played, but it's a solid start for the Spurs, which is all we could have asked for.
And yet you seem to think Terry and Dirk will shoot as poorly as they did today for the rest of the series?
When the Spurs scorers shoot poorly, it's an anomaly. When the Mavs shooters do, it's somehow a "trend that must continue."
Well, when Bowen's on a shooter, that's the case.![]()
If Parker and Bowen play that kind of defense, yes I expect it to continue.nd yet you seem to think Terry and Dirk will shoot as poorly as they did today for the rest of the series?
When Ginobili misses open 10 footers in the lane, yeah, thats an anamoly...
I was almost resigned to the idea that the Spurs were going to lose game 1. The mental edge and championship defense really showed up in the 4th. And Tim reminded us he's the key to our success.
Everyone, be it Mavs fans, ABC commentators and Spurs fans expected a Mavs' win today. It's not really surprising. Last series, the Spurs' playoff epitaph was already being written.
Bowen hardly "shuts down" Dirk. Check out the box scores for the other 4 times they faced each other. Yall seem to overlook those stats. One game, he only scores 20, and he is owned.![]()
Typical loser Mavs fan mentality. MOST playoff games after the first round are close. It's what separates the winners (us) from the losers (you). Deep playoff series are often decided on the basis of 1-3 shots over the course of a series.
I guess he had a cold today.
It's when, not how much, and stop looking back on the regular season. That's OVER.
