Game 3! Mavericks at Spurs Open Thread

Dallas Mavericks at San Antonio Spurs, Apr 23, 2010 8:30 PM CDT


Is it me, or does this city smell funny?

The party has moved south to San Antonio, where our beloved Mavericks will attempt to regain their lead in the series. Game 2 proved what we all suspected- this isn't going to be easy for either team. After a disappointing effort on both ends of the floor, let's see if Dallas can't find their rhythm again amidst the hostile crowd of Spurs fans. And with less time for rest between games, we shall see if team depth becomes a factor.

Bad news from the DMN!

Dan Crawford and co. will ref tonight’s game.

The Mavs have lost 16 of the last 17 games under his refereeing. Ugh :(

Before you ask why I'm a fan of both the Cowboys and Jets, I'll just say the answer is complicated and that it just turned out that way.

lmao, i was kidding about the linebacker thing. i'm sure he'll be fine, but it's hard to like jerry picking a linebacker when we have o-line needs.

but whatever. he’s mad with power and botox, so nothing should surprise cowboys fans.

This one is on the refs

They let the Spurs do whatever they wanted. Push, shove, fucking arm-wrestling, flop, bullshit offensive calls that killed any momentum. Dirk got screwed over and over again. JJ was fouled like 4 times in one sequence and the fuckers called a travel. Most of their and-ones were ticky-tac fouls.

Mavs are 1-17 with Dan Crawford as the refs since 2000. Nuff said. It’s like theu were making up for the first game (In which the Mavs had a ridiculous FT advantage but they played very aggresive going to the basket) with two straight screwjobs.

Oh god I’m feeling sick. We MUST win on Sunday. We’ll fight back. We won’t have that scumbag Crawford doing the game. See you guys later. GO MAVS!

i didn't came in here today ... but watched the game

and don’t want to say anything about the refs because, they suck for one side, then they suck for the other … that happens

but what the fuck is going on with marion and butler? i hope, i really fucking hope that playing just 15 min will wake up the guys … because, they didn’t choose a good time to start sucking.

We came back with a few jumpers and got ahead with it … but kept firing and doing shit. And barea playing almost the whole game? Rick will someday learn that you put him in, see if he is not sucking that night, if that’s the case … let him do some damage, score a few points, turn the head of the other coach, then you take him out because at some point he will become useless again, but he will still think he got it … and what we see? pound, pound, pound, pound … turnover, nowhere to go …

we have a chance but if we are going to win against the spurs on the road with just 3 god damn guys scoring in double digits … that’s gonna take a 50+ game from dirk and a 30+ from terry … because for all the firepower we supposedly have, we need more than 16 points from our starting unit (dirk excluded)

Watched the game on TV so I wasn't able to log in here.

I just don’t understand why RC kept JJ on the floor even when he isn’t producing anymore. He and Jet were liabilities on guarding Paker, Hill, and Manu. He should have put in Butler or Marion for defensive purposes during the about 7:00 minute mark of the 4th.

Yeah, I was wondering what was up with that

but they shouldve also boxed out more, and find someone other than Terry to shoot if he’s just gonna keep missing, go to hole more too, Dirk excluded cause he was doing that along with Barea. but yeah, live by the jump shot also means you die by the jump shot

PIss this series!

Mavs have to win game 4 now. Blurrrrrg!

I think they will. San Antonio won’t go 3-straight on our boys!

Before you ask why I'm a fan of both the Cowboys and Jets, I'll just say the answer is complicated and that it just turned out that way.

2 points from Butler, 4 from Haywood. Does Stevenson play at all these days?

The way the Mavs are built

It is gonna be hard to win this series – 3 of the 5 starters do not require a defensive cover – Damp, Kidd, and Marion. In order to be anb effective PG, Kidd must be a threat to score. Damp is a mistake – Haywood should be starting. Marion is no longer a consistent offensive threat, and he no longer caries the rebounding load. So in order to win, Dirk must score 30, and Butler HAS to be involved. Marion has to be a dervish like he was in Phoenix, and Kidd must keep defenses honest.

That said, I do notice one thing about this series – Dirk should be able to get 40 a game on Bonner, and if Kidd/Butler could keep the triple teams off of him, I don’t see why you don’t have Dirk look to score every time down.

The Mavs need a beast down low. Why can’t Mr Moneybags pry Bosh or Stoudemire?

Agree with all the thigs you have said.

I wish Butler and Marion take the benching on this game seriously and come out focused on game 4 and the succeeding games. That’s the only way we would win without relying too much on Dirk and Jet.

DONT BLAME THE REFS...

Blame your team! You guys are so quick to point the finger at the refs or Stern for losing or the spurs being gritty…. everybody else but the TEAM!! Everybody, but Dirk, deserves some blame wearing a dallas uniform last night. Nobody else. Its still not over till its over, but I hope the Spurs continue to keep fighting. GO SPURS GO!!!

PS. you guys will never win a championship with the fans the team has. talking shit about SA as a city and throwing so many lowblows= BAD KARMA. respect the game and maybe one day your guys will be champs like the SPURS! GO SPURS!

Refs handed SA the win

Without all those bullshit fouls, the Mavs win it easily.

Be sure to stop by when we turn this series around, bitch.

Very hypocritical.

There are many spurs fans in san an that respect the game and whatnot like you said but you guys are the worst fucking crybabies in the league. If we say anything about the refs we are crying, but if you guys criticize it, it’s ok. You can’t have it both ways amigo. Fans have nothing to do with winning a championship karma wise, because if that were true, you guys would have none. Sure you guys are dedicated but insanely delusional. In conclusion, Fuck off sir.

NO BITCH,

the refs handed the mavs game 1 with all those “breathe on me” dirk fouls. It should be 3-0 lol

by stevie3 on Apr 24, 2010 10:42 AM CDT reply actions  

You can't guard Dirk

That’s why you get called for a lot of fouls. You were lucky you had a notorious Dirk-hater doing the game last night. GTFO.

by mg4tx on Apr 24, 2010 10:54 AM CDT up reply actions  

all part of the rivalry lol

but your right, i dont wanna anger the gods of karma!
GO SPURS GO!!!!

Not only dumbass trolls like Stevie3 and Artis Gilmore.
