i cant take this game anymore

Same line up for the Spurs…

Hopefully the subs have energy left

O rebounds ffs…

Thank You Anderson!

JA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JA for threeeeeeeee

fast shutter speed with low iso?

&derson

Holy crap what a game

Anderson 3! Cap must be freaking out.

Anderson for three!

I thought it looked kinda sorta good

He is making the Spurs regret not playing him

we really need a stop

And a defensive board

Thats tuff to guard!

Hopefully I’m good luck for this

Great D by Tiago better shot by Dirk

They need to learn how to box out

Dirk pushed Tiago on the back and no call

to be fair, Blair’s been showing Dirk around in the first 3 quarters.

I really want this win. And I want it with this lineup.

Gonna be a jumpball!

thats got to be a jumpball

C’mon refs! Spurs ball!

Looks like Ian touched it last but idk

Spurs ball!!!

Mavs ball

Oops thought they made the call already

I think it’s Mavs ball

Pop is one heck of a coach

He’s gonna stay with this very same unit. This is good experience for them.

Phil Jackson would never do that.

Actually Phil Jackson used to sometimes send up crazy lineups because he needed to get those players experience.

Always for the home team!!

that’s why they call it home court advantage.

God I hate Terry

I have never agreed with any statement more than this.

I don’t have any issues with him

but you already knew that

at least this gives them a small breather to come hard

our 2nd unit needs that!

Off Yawn, Spurs ball

our guys need his rest

i hate jason terry. although thats a gross understatement.

Thats got to be a jumpball at the very least

LAL game tied at 91

insane

again, LA was up by as many as 17.

Didn’t really look like Green touched it.

come on refs mavs got the last call give us this one

if only it worked like that…..

damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn it.

Lando that was a terrible call!

Defense!

Damn it! Mavs ball!

These refs fucking suck. It was off mahinmi!

Bench is tired!!

but the Mavs’ starters are probably tired too!

dammit bad look

C’mon we need a score here!!

Carter is killing us

Just give it to tiago

He at least can get some shots

Stop it with the hero bullshit and run a play.

We gonna lose, all the refs fault tho…

guys passing up open shots now

don’t have the legs to make those shots anymore..

blame the refs!

Solid D

Splitter draws the foul.

Splitter still can’t make FTs

Come on Tiago, we need these

lets go Tiago make those free throws

this game is Driving me CRAZY

Jus get one PLEASE!!

Make it, Tiago! YES!

And the second one! THANKS, CHIP!

Come on Sexzsplots

THat earned you a

second one earned you a

Splitter to the line!

now for the lead

mavs starters gotta be pissed with pop letting the bench run with them.

this is a game that i wish i didn’t have to see either team lose

SPLITTER CAN MAKE THEM NOW!

Clutch Tiago.

Wow Tiago made both

Clutch freethrows!

man, this line up has been in the game since the start of the 4th right?

they can take it

Actually, they’ve been playing since the last 3 mins of the 3rd.

if only he’d made the one in regulation haha

nice D by Matt

Hate to say it but ya he played Marion pretty good

Splots is used to the pressure. Spanish league MVP, beaches.

:-)

HURRAY REBOUNDS!

What a shot!

he is feeling good about that almost game winner

Green!!

man thats and annnnnnndddddd 1111111111

We deserve this win!

YES SPURS DESERVE IT!

up three.Good guys

Green taking dallas’ second rate frenchmen to school.

greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Verde!

1:18 left in OT, Spurs up, 98-95.

Spurs up 3! oh god!

this was a HUGE foul

Cleveland, I hate you for letting this guy go.

Same way we’re going to feel about Anderson, I’m afraid.

Come on more stop and one more score. Im begging you basketball gods!!

Green’s game winner may have not counted, but he IS winning this game for us!

the guy is a WINNER!

Sexsplots needs a massage. I give him one.

after they win, of course

you’ll give him a Brazilian?

WTF I don’t care about the X-Games

You don’t get that much contact going to a whore

DE.FENSE.

DE. FENSE.

this would be a huge win.

damn that is one confident second unit we’re fending off to the Mavs.

Control the ball.

No matter how this turns out, this is huge for us, and mortifying for them.

Not if they win.

damn bonner.. you rushed it

that was a bad call

FOUL, YOU AE GOING TO CALL THAT NOW

Need a stop

How is that a loose ball foul?

because he got too close to dirk?

oh man, foul on Splitter..

Eh Bonner move the ball around

oh you’re kidding me? he gets hacked regularly, and you call that? bullshit

c’mon, let’s win this.

Refs losing us the game

If we lose its cuz of the first halfs play.

And the first three quarters

that was just bad D there…

Dammit. That was bad.

Control the ball….what I just said.

Fuck

Some serious bullshit reffing

aw man………………….

Shawn Marion steals the ball from Gary Neal?

please miss

Noooooooooooooo!

One fucking free throw is all we needed. Fk this sucks.

Out of bounds three

Does neal know pick &rooll?

I don’t understand what happened there.

no matter how this game ends

you guys should be proud of how deep this team is and how they can play.

while true, it will still hurt.

True, but it won’t feel better afterwards

This is what i was thinking during the 4th quarter comeback.

Why didn’t they foul Marion?

we have enough three point shooters

Do the refs know the rules?

3 point game. Spurs ball… C’mon pop, we need a good play here.

Neal should pass the ball to Splitter when he’s rolling off the pick

yep. He’s had that twice in this period.

I don’t know what right now.

These guys are exhausted. Nobody wants the final shot.

and even if we do make that, we got to another OT.

I love how Neal has played, but he’s trying to do too much, a lot of TOs

We need to Nail a 3.

“Were a long way from over ", idiot ESPN..

this game is not over.
Pop will go for Anderson. Like last year with Neal.

And 1!!!!!!!!!!

On an unrelated note, Doris Burke is pretty good.

quick 2 or three for the last shot?

Oh my fucking god!

& 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NAIL with the quick 2.

and draws the foul.

Neal is just screwing with us now

WOW THEY FOULED!
YOU STUPID, STUPID SHAWN MARION
AHAHAHAHAHA

Do you remeber when Green did that?

NEAL WTF! Hah!

We got a 2. We need the FTs.

fouled on the layup?

Like reverse 2006 Game 7!

NEAL! Good play off the time out!

what were you thinking marion?

A starter in!!

KL for D!!

Kahwi going in! First substitution for the Spurs since the 3rd..

wow, just got my scores text update: Spurs 93-Dal 91

Damn, good foul though

Fouling Mahimi is not a bad deal

Neal missed the FT.

SHIT, we are cursed

Clutch Yawn??

Neal missed?! Nooooooo!

Mahinmi… this could be good…

at least its yawn at the line

Haha Mahinmi fouled!!

He can’t shoot! Why is he even in?

for the rebound. He did get that.

Is Yawn a good FT shooter?

No he’s not!

come on yawn, do your thing…miss.

Still 1 poss game!!

wooooooooooooooooooooooooo

a few hours ago, both Lebron and Rose frailed under prussure

and now its Mahimni’s turn!

Spurs with a timeout?

I mean, do we still have one?

Yes he missed the first

this is killing me no feed!

Bonner checks back in for Kawhi.

Misses! Get rebound!!!#

hey batta batta SCHWING!

game winner coming up!

Take the last shot

Ian is still playing for the Spurs

still takes orders from Pop,

Hand off to Splitter to the basket.

Clutch Yawn.

down 1, time out Spurs. Spurs ball!

i am speechless

“Highest paid cheerleaders” haha nice

It’s in our young guys hands now. WIN, LOSE or DRAW… I’m proud of these guys!!

10 secs left. Let’s win this!

the suspense is killing me

POP MASTER PLAN!!

Hah. Pop is good, but that’s too much.

And Yawn comes through for the Spurs in the clutch!

Everyone failed with his free-throws tonight! Lebron and Rose and Neal

Seriously, though, free throws have KILLED us this game.

Way to go Bonner!

yawn is a spur at heart

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Really Bonner!!? Really??

Wow that was terrible. WTF was the red rocket doing

Well done Bonner

Stupid ref.

*Bonner

Why the fuck you give to MATT FUCKIN BONNER!!

Bonner…….

We almost beat the mavs twice in one night

Why didn’t they take a time out?

They should have when Green ran into the ref to reset the play.

Exactly.

what the……………..?

aww man! Damn it Bonner!

Terrible execution

I thought Green’s shot looked good. Ugh Bonner. :|

He was hit in the face.

Yeah I thought it was going in. He deserved it

Well great game.

Bonner Jab steppin Carter like he was gonna do sumthng!!!

Thanks again, Matty.

Well damn

So Mavs starters beat the Spurs bench…

Minus TJ our best true point guard

Still counts the same in the win column. Sigh

Seeing a game like this makes me excited. Still working out some issues but the guys are developing.

And Fred is recapping. That’s going to be fun.

Not pretty. Great play from our bench tonight, though.

In the seconf half.

This is why Bonner sucks

Guys, been a pleasure. good night

Goddamnit. You had 3 secs Green,mshouldve taken a closer shot. Ugh man this game was just a big fucking tease. Thank you refs for screwing us over.

would have been nice to use that time out

They ran the same play they ran for Manu againts Denver last year for Gary Neal, the inbounder miss him

bonner with the ball dribbling? disastrous

………………………….for crying out loud. what a shitty way to lose.

oh well. That was a good game. I just hope the bench still has enough juice for tomorrow.

Whatever play Pop drew up, they sure as hell didn’t run.

That play was for NEal, the inbounder didnt pass it to him

But mom!! REF SUCK!!!

Every time Bonner holds the ball for more than 2 seconds, me and my daughter are yelling for someone to take the ball out of his hands.

Bonner should NEVER have the ball that long. Green and Neal should have come sooner.

damn. if only!

I’d pay to have a reporter ask pop post-game: So coach, what ere you thinking?

Why don’t buy a gun and shoot the reporter yourself?

Why didnt Pop put someone besides Bonner in, like Duncan if he just wanted someone to pass the ball.

ball game, laters!

My heart is in pieces

Late game execution killed us again. We miss Manu.

They just play with my emotions, and my health.

C’est la guerre, mes amis.

You misspelt “merde”.

WHY THE FUCK was the play called for Bonner!??

I would have used Nails.

Back to Back weeks of Sunday heartbreak. Going for the trifecta next week!
