Spurs vs. Cavs Jan. 17 - Game Blog

[djohn14]

Yeah we cant blame the refs. We had chances to win and couldnt do it, plus the calls sucked on both sides. At least me fought.

[Ice009]

SPURS ARE BAD. THIS TEAM PISSSES me off (in January). What a loss. Great work Spurs. Manu should have went for a three. I didn't like that two.

[ChumpDumper]

Tim choked.

Tony choked.

Manu choked.

Pop choked.

Not the end of the world.

And what the would Mav's fans know about champions??

The closest Mav fan has ever been to a champion is when sitting down at breakfast and pouring the wheeties in their bowl and realizing on of the Spurs was on their box.

You know, that's great and all, but I think at this point a standard form answer might be beneficial to all Spurs fans wishing to engage horrendously unclever smack talk.

Next time just go ahead and post "<Insert contrived championship-count reference here>", and I"ll go ahead and fill in the blanks myself.

Pretty sure *I* have exactly as many rings as *you* do. Which would be zero. Guess you'll just have to come up with something else as the price of admission to SpursTalk.com.

No i've got 4, you've got 0

I haven't been this frustrated with the officiating in a long time. Yes, the Spurs played poorly, but they were fighting their way back and those two bad calls really killed the momentum.

I'm talking about the no call when Tony was mugged and then Z scored at the other end, and then the "could go either way" charge on Manu, and oh yeah, let's not forget the obvious charge by Lebron that the officials just plain ignored!

The one ref looked about 25 years old and he was just horrible. I'm really surprised neither Pop nor Timmy got a technical tonight - they were so pissed.

I hate how everyone thinks Lebron is just the bomb - I get so tired of everyone kissing his feet.

James is Stern's baby!

i don't remember seeing a single dunk in this game.

not such a bad loss for spurs as some of you claim.

spurs missed alot of 3 pointers and the cavs made alot of outside shots. things that are uncharacteristic for both teams. 1 more 3 pointer made by the spurs or 1 less by the cavs and the spurs could have won it. great game by manu and timmy. tony still feeling it with his ankles and he did get hammered alot on the drive. ime, brent and bonner missed quite a few 3 pointers. i don't think finley attempted a single 3.

to me, the difference for the cavs tonight was andy. his energy and hussle got the cavs alot of second chances and a flop to go their way.

Exactly!

And I called it on page 1 of this thread, Bob would give us fits, and that's EXACTLY what he did. He was the difference.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That open 3 was soooo bad..HOW THE DOES THAT HAPPEN..the guy is known for making 3's....Bowen is a liability..Oberto and Elson both suck..and VAUGHN>.OMG..I SAID THIS LAST YEAR..POP..BENCH HIM FOREVER!!!!! Changes are in order..dont blame Manu..but if he was gonna shoot last..take a 3 to win it.

Overreact much?

[ShoogarBear]

But what's TP's excuse for missing 2 free throws that would've tied the game with 29 seconds left? Motherf...

Maybe he was still seeing double.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Changes are in order..dont blame Manu..but if he was gonna shoot last..take a 3 to win it.

yeah, he wouldn't have had to worry about getting to the court in time.

Oh well, regular season game. This is disappointing so far, but I'm not really worried. Maybe this loss will finally wake them up, because they actually played pretty well in the 4th, defense and everything.

[Don Quixote]

Spurs ... Way to pull a "Mavs" tonight. Didn't get a stop when it mattered, missed critical free throws.

Oh well, we'll try again tomorrow night. At least we have the glow from our 4 trophies to make us feel better.

[DubMcDub]

No i've got 4, you've got 0

Dude, that's awesome! Which one are you--Duncan? You got back from the arena awfully fast! Did you even shower afterwards?

Or perhaps you are on the managerial staff? Administration?

Fill me in. Also, if you wouldn't mind, take a picture of your 4 rings with an index card that says "Tek_XX" in the shot, so that I know they're really yours.

[m33p0]

Exactly!

i was watching andy all game long to see who was covering him. brent on andy is not a good idea at all.

[Cherry]

Funny, Mavfans come here now

[Shank]

No i've got 4, you've got 0

You're delusional. The only things you have more of than anyone here are food stamps and genital warts.

Nice work by DubMcDub getting everyone riled up and somehow into the ever-present "Spurs v. Mavs" bickering after a game not even involving the Mavs. Good times.

spurs never relied on free throws to win games. don't expect them to do so now.

This is almost as bad as losing to the 8th seed in the first round......thou not quite

They heart Spurs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We need to start looking into some trades.

The officiating sucked, but that wasn't our downfall.

This team just has no spark whatsoever this year.

They had enough to get back from 11 down against a team that's playing very well.

I predict this is the low point of the season. They will start to improve from here.

The Spurs did not play nearly as poorly as they have been, the D was good in the 4th, and they missed about 8 open 3s. We're on the way up.

There was one - Dub. I'm just stopping by for a quick read. Try not to think the entire community is coming around for this one.

[Ice009]

Leave the Mavs fans alone guys. No need for smack talk.
We lost this game, Spurs choked it up. You wanna be angry at someone be mad at the Spurs. Spurs need to WAKE the f UP. If Pop doesn't think this team can cut it start looking into some trade cause right now they need to be told if you don't f.ucking give a I will TRADE YOUR ASS.
