PrintMike Fisher has his morning donuts, and reminds us that the Spurs already knew about JJB.
Remember earlier this year when JJB was such a force against the Spurs that Pop had to assign his best defender, Bruce Bowen, to him? It was probably the greatest compliment Barea got all year.
Playoff series are all about game-to-game adjustments, and I'm sure Pop will come up with ... something.
But I'm not sure why he wasn't able to "come up with something'' going into G1. Didn't he already know JJB was capable of this?
-----------------
Kelly Dwyer was so impressed by the Mavs offense that he's asking questions of the Spurs defense.
------------------
Galloway praises Barea, Bass, Dampier, and Howard in his article this morning.
JJT also writes about Barea, and ends his story with the word "seriously", so we know he's not joking.
----------------
Sefko has his game story, and Fisher recaps the game by going over his personal game plan.
-----------------
David Moore is not sure what the Spurs can change on defense, but says they'll have to do something differently.
-----------------
Sefko has an article on the Mavs bench which outscored the Spurs bench 39-14.
He also notes that Dallas has beaten San Antonio in five of their last 8 postseason meetings.

Kidd misses practice
from the DMN Mavs blog
Big Ed Sefko reports that Jason Kidd was absent from today’s practice due to stomach problems. Kidd was vomiting on the bench during Game 1, according to a team official.
Spurs fan alert
Congrats to the Mavs on a nice game 1 win. We’d really like to see Pop trust our rookie, George Hill, and give him some playoff run (and stick him on Barea as well). However, it looks like Pop is not going to give at all on this issue…
what's the deal with the Bonner love from Pop?
I realize that very few people do, but he just doesn’t match up well at all with Dirk. Bonner racking up 3 quick fouls in the first half probably wasn’t the worst thing that could’ve happened to you guys.

Yes, that’s another adjustment that should be made – Bonner shouldn’t be starting against the Mavs, and in fact shouldn’t be getting much pt at all. He’s good for the threes (if he’s hitting them), but we need other things from that position. I just hope that Pop doesn’t remain too stubborn with these things, like he was when he rode Nick Van Exel in his last year when he was long past his Maverick prime, or even sticking with Robert Horry last year.
George Hill is a badass
how did he fall out of Pop’s rotation? In that first game on election night, he nearly fueled a Spurs comeback.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
I think he used to be with SI
I remember he helped with TrueHoop when Henry was out (I can’t recall if this was before or after TrueHoop went to ESPN) and he quoted an e-mail that I sent him regarding League Pass.
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

"Daryl (Morey, the Rockets general manager) and I were talking this morning. We both discussed how great Tracy is in the playoffs. There's very few people who have the ability to step up their games in the playoffs and he does. So we're not looking to run away from Tracy." - Houston Rockets Owner, Leslie Alexander
muhahahaha WTF?!?!

some things will never be answered
from kelly dwyer’s article
(On the Dirk thing, how bogus were some of those offensive fouls on Nowitzki? I’m not telling you that he didn’t push off or slap Bruce Bowen away, he did, but why is it that Bowen is allowed to put two hands into Dirk as he drives? When Dirk’s back is to the basket, yeah, Bowen can do his thing. But when Dirk has turned and is driving toward the goal with a dribble, he has ceased to be a post player, and deserves all the hand check calls afforded to anyone who is driving to the rim.)
