That fact should scare the out of Maverick's fan.
What a terrific game! If the next 5 or 6 can be this way also, we are in for a treat. I couldn't sit down the final 2 minutes of that game.
Spurs did what they're suppose to do: win at home. Mavs need (well, technically don't need to, but they need to) to win Game 2.
Duncan was out of his mind. How many freakin "and 1's" did he have?? Parker and Ginobili were relatively quiet along with the Spurs bench. SA's difference makers were TD and BB.
Dallas defense was very good. A few too many mental mistakes (stupid fouls) really hurt the outcome. Dampier was tremendous except for foul trouble. I never thought I'd see Dampier straight up block Duncan, but he did. But, doesn't matter, we lost. Dirk needs to (and will, I bet my right testicle on it) play better. Needs to establish himself like Duncan did in Game 1. Josh was our best player. Terry needs to find his rhythm.
Lookin forward to the rest of this series!
That fact should scare the out of Maverick's fan.
So is the fact the Spurs tradionally suck on ABC PM games and were probably jet lagged.
Duncan plays like this and the Spurs could sweep the Mavs!
that was the one time duncan didn't get him up in the air first. if duncan stays that aggressive he will continue to get diop and damp in foul trouble.
I love when teams without home court advantage say "you did what you were supposed to do" after a home win. Will those people look up after game 7 and say "wait, what happened?"
Yes. The fans (some, not all) will have that "Don't they know who we are?" look on their faces, too.
I hope so baby ... I love Cuban's face after a lost
Hey... you forgot two in Spurs' formula
lol, no love for your top scorer yesterday? poooor stack
I remember a couple years ago when I heard the Tim especially dislikes day games.
Then he went on to a near quadruple double on Sunday to close the Nets in the 03 Finals.

Mav fans should be scared since Manu & Tony didn't have great games??? This is an ignorant statement! Should the Spur fans be scared cuz Jason Terry sucked and they still only won by 2 pts at home? Should the Spur fans be scared cuz Dirk didn't shoot that well, etc. etc. etc.
"No" is the answer to these questions! There will be adjustments made after each game and some players are going to have bad games each game. Every game is it's own en y.
I need a match real bad. Lots of wood in my pants.
that wasnt a day game...?I remember a couple years ago when I heard the Tim especially dislikes day games.

But I guess the fact that our PG shot under 35% shouldn't scare any Spurs fans. Or the fact that Dirk has already gone for 30 this year against SA, even with Bowen defending him, and it's bound to happen again more than once.
Some Spurs fans are so ridiculous (just like some Mavs fans). That you can claim we should be "scared" that Tony and Manu had quiet games while all the while ignoring that many of our best players did as well is quite laughable.
damn i was just thinking earlier how good the mavs would be if they kept antawn jamison. they would have won like 70 games. i know that was a random but whatever.
Well I think the difference in Spurs' fans minds is that Tony and Manu were banged up and very tired. Why did your PG shot 35% and your MVP shoot 40% after six days rest? Rust? Too much defense? Bad day? Why did Dirk only manage one basket in the 4th quarter (and it was a fastbreak dunk)?
We'll see what happens on Tuesday. But it seems much more logical for Spurs' fans to be more optimistic about Tony/Manu being subpar than Mavs' fans about Dirk/JT.
Now there's a stretch of logicCome on Kori, In my short time on this forum, I've come to expect more from you. You've always seemed to be reasonable in your basketball assessments. Why would being tired be a better excuse than being rusty (assuming one or both are even true which I doubt)? Also, Parker had a decent game in my opinion. He didn't score as much as he had been scoring vs. Dallas because Duncan picked up the slack. The Mavs made the decision to have Duncan beat them (bad idea apparently) so they could slow Manu and Parker down a bit. That's all that was and I'm sure things will change in game #2. Bottom line is that I don't think any of this matters. Game #2 will be an entirely different game and some players might play better while some might play worse than game #1.
Now there's a stretch of logic
I'm not comparing "just tired" to "rusty".
I said "banged up and tired" not just tired. Tony could barely walk on Saturday. So, I was impressed with whatever he did on the court Sunday.
What should scare Mavs and Mavs fans is that the SPurs shot the ball really poorly - and it had nothing to do with defense, since they missed a lot of wide open 3's and easy dunks and layups - and still won. If the Spurs had made even half those games, it would have been a rout.
Good post.
buddy call me when jason terry is an all-star like ginobili and parker
Duncan gets blocked quite a lot.
Duncan's blocks/blocked ratio is somewhat greater than 1.
Jason Terry is far superior to Ginobili because of his pure scoring ability but he hasn't gotten an All-Star recognition because of the scheme the Mavericks run except when Devin Harris is on the floor he is the Mavericks second-best player and he is the key to the series because he owns Tony Parker except that the Spurs have no answer for Josh Howard who is the most underrated player in the game and besides none of the Mavericks are really that good except for Dirk Nowitzki which is why he should of won MVP.
I think that covers it.
^ the absence of puncuation makes me cry.
Yes it was ... and it was raining, too.
