Mavericks vs. Spurs Gameday Thread

[cheesestar]

5 to's with 3 minutes to go in the quarter...

we seriously need a drill where there is a ladder with moving arms placed in front of a player and he shoots all day long behind that ladder

[cheesestar]

dirk's missed his last two as well

[cheesestar]

this teams inablity to generate any kind of offense or points is unbelievable at times

[Murphy3]

Get Stack's sorry @ss out of the f'ing game. He is an idiot out there right now.

I was thinking the same thing.

[Murphy3]

Why isolate for Stack? He probably had more touches in a scoring position in the first quarter than Dirk.
Why?

That is freaking idiotic. Different coach....same idiocy.

[Bayliss]

Mavs don't have a lot of perimeter shooting outside of Dirk. Finley's ability to knock down a humper after a double team is huge against a team like the Spurs.

[Bookit]

Stackhouse is lousy. Plain and simple. He is a one on one player that is ice cold most of the time. He also make idiotic decisions.

[Charlie Brown]

do we have ANY other offensive plays besides the clear-out one-on-ones??!!

and stackhouse is worse than walker in my opinion . . . at least, walked liked to pass the ball . . .

[Murphy3]

I have no tolerance for Jerry f'ing Stackhouse forcing up shots....none whatsoever.

[cheesestar]

..and we clank off a few more in the remaining time

[MavsFanFinley]

SA leads 26-14 after 1st quarter:

Howard (12) 0-4, 1rb, 2tos

Dirk (12) 3-6, 2-2, 8pts, 4rbs, 1to

Dampier (8) 1-2, 2pts, 1rb

Daniels (7) 1as

Harris (4) 1to

Terry (8) 1-3, 0-1, 2pts, 1rb, 1as, 2tos, 1stl

Stackhouse (5) 0-4, 1rb

Henderson (4) 1-1, 2pts, 2rbs

[Murphy3]

....and still, Dirk versus the team.

but guess what, give the ball to Dirk and he can get others involved. No one else on the team will draw a double team.

[cheesestar]

my key to winning this game or at least staying close:

-try to stop the guards..please
-less to's
-more offense

aand although dirks on pace for 24 shots we need to get it to him more cause he seems to be the only one that has the ability to make shots

[Bayliss]

That was two ferocious throwdowns.

[Charlie Brown]

amazing . . . give someone other than stack the ball, and we actually get to see ball movement . . .

[Bookit]

I hate to say this. Bring in Harris. (did I just say that?)

It's not all about the shots. It's about making things easier for the rest of the team. Dirk has that ability. Stackhouse doesn't....Stop running the f'ing offense through him.

[cheesestar]

decent start to the quarter..back2back dunks! although they were around a barry three.....

[Murphy3]

Charge? How damn late is the player allowed to get over?

He's probably going to be gone by Deadline. Please let him be gone.

[cheesestar]

ehh not a three by barry

dirk's assisted or scored on all the maverick baskets this quarter even though its only three

and poppavich being the genius that he is smells energy from the mavs and calls a timeout

[Murphy3]

Pathetic passes by Dirk and Damp.

[cheesestar]

this is exactly like the last SA game except its happening in the 2nd opposed to the 4th

sick

[Bookit]

Daniels looks like he is in slow motion.

[Murphy3]

SAS finally starting to miss some jumpers.

Nevemind

[cheesestar]

i think lng scoring runs are nearly impossible against SA because of they're excruciating defense and pop calling timeouts at the right timees so i think the best way to get closer is to get on the line more.

[rabbitproof]

Mavs have their all-defense team in..

Damp, Howard, Daniels, Stack, Harris...

[cheesestar]

the monster beno udrih comes to kill again

Yeah, Popovich isn't bashful about calling timeouts is he.

[kg_veteran]

For Don Nelson (or more importantly, Avery Johnson):

If you're taking notes, Greg Popovich understands how to use timeouts to control momentum swings. Perhaps that would be worth trying some time.

[PepperTheMavsFan41]

Imagine if the Mavs had a point like this Udrick kid!!!!

We might actually get some open shots!!

[cheesestar]

nice run to get within 9 but then nother SA timeout

[PepperTheMavsFan41]

Definitly a better 2nd quarter.


Get this beach down to 7 or so and get to half.

Yeah, I usually hate it when Popovich calls a timeout because it kills our run.

woah i didnt catch what the tech was on yahoo

Unlike when the Mavs were up a dozen versus the Wolves with around 4 minutes left and then watched the entire thing whither away while never calling a TO?
