15 minutes till we find out if Damp's gonna come through and abduct Tony Parker

 

[elcheato]

The Bulls are getting worked right now.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Spurs- 36
Mavs- 62

NOT IN OUR HOUSE

 

[MapleLeaf]

Spurs- 42
Mavs- 75

End of 3

 

[The Guid]

Scal for 3.....GOT IT lol

 

[MapleLeaf]

Mavs win 88-67 in one of the weirdest games I've EVER seen.

Mavs led by 16 at half, and got off to a good start to build the lead to 21 with 9 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter, Popovich calls a timeout, benches his starters, and never comes back with them.

So it was literally 16-17 minutes of Jacque Vaugh - Oberto - Kurt Thomas vs. Matt Carroll, Ryan Hollins, James Singleton

OMG

A WIN ON SATURDAY AND ITS A 3-1 MAVS SERIES LEAD <3

 

[MapleLeaf]

Tim Duncan- 4 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assists, 2-9 FG, 16 minutes
Tony Parker- 12 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 5-14 FG, 21 minutes

They weren't in foul trouble

<3

That's also a Spurs franchise record for fewest points ever in a playoff game

Here's more of the quirky minutes the Spurs played

25 points from there starters

It seems like Pistons haven`t played in forever. Not that i`m in a hurry to watch them lose another game.

 

[MapleLeaf]

carlos boozer with 16 rebounds at HALF

 

[Lake Louise]

There`s a Boozer I haven`t seen in awhile.

freaking fluke ass win
straight up luck

its ok. it'd be cool locking them up at home in 5.
i think i'm the only one who called a sweep so its ok lol

but i dont want cheato coming in here saying we suck at D if we only gave up 88.
lucky win by utah. refs were awful. i know i hate blaming the refs for a loss, but this was really bad.

Kobe shot awful and we only lost by 2.
like i said, we'll get em in 5. oh well

I don't think I have ever liked Damp as much as I have this series. He has been an absolute monster. Tonight was my favorite Maverick game all season. Holding the Spurs to 42 through 3 was just amazing.

 

[MapleLeaf]

that's what it was for the final 20 minutes of the game, not kidding

Shouldn't ever blame refs when the Lakers are normally on the receiving end of the calls.
Both defense's were bad at the end of the game, neither could muster up enough to make a stop.
Gooooooooooooo Jazz.

Great game by my mavs. And Dirk hasnt even busted out on the Spurs. This next game is big time, lets get this win and get a 3-1 lead. I have finally determined that Barea can take over at PG.

kobe went 5/24 and we still had a chance to win. whereas they played nearly perfect. Boozer wont do that again, Korver made some shots he doesnt normally make, harpring got lucky of course.
we're fine

 

[Mexi]

Prince, who has six points total in the series’ first two games, won’t force the action with his achy back in Game 3: “I will give whatever I can give,” he said. “It felt better today (Thursday), but at the same time, I didn’t go at game speed. I am not the type of person to give excuses about injuries because I know both Rasheed and Rip (Hamilton) played hurt for us this season. “But this is the pivotal game, so if I am not getting anything going early, I will let Arron (Afflalo) and those guys take the load.”

Yea, because Korver shoots like Rondo, how does he make anything.

You're a little late to the Party. JJ <3

i thought the mavs-spurs game was bad.....

cavs won 79-68 over the pistons, and it wasn't 20 minutes of benchwarmers like it was in the mavs game
