Postgame Game 1 Spurs@Mavs: 3 to go

[ribosoma]

I loved the look on Pop's face when Carlisle subbed in Marion for Damp with a little over 2 minutes left in the 3rd. It looked like he saw his coffee cake face in a mirror.

A few writers talked about how Hill was the X factor in this series. If that's the case, they may need to go to Y and Z very quickly.

Butler was making Jefferson miserable tonight. He had a few mistakes, but he was definitely the Robin he was asked to be tonight. His defense was very good, he had some timely steals, and he took the ball to the rim when the Mavs were struggling offensively. He was exactly what has been needed on this team for quite some time.

I wouldn't write Hill off yet. Nobody on the bench really did anything for the Spurs this game (I know he started but he's really a bench player, Parker got 34). Out of all those non-producers, Hill still worries me a little.

Speaking of bench, though, every time Roger Mason takes a shot, I breathe a sigh of relief. Has he made a shot against us this year? Besides this one?
