If Bonner and Finley can continue their hot shooting, this should be a W. Then again, Dallas usually plays like superstars against us, so who knows.

Then do what any good rivalry can do. Match them with intensity. The Mavs tend to live and die by the 3 ball. Make them die by the 3 ball in this matchup at their house.

Manu is starting this year?

I think the Mavs may run with a starting lineup fo Kidd - Barea - Howard (maybe) - Dirk - Dampier.

If Howard playes, he may also come off the bench.

Dallas is alwaysa tough one for us. It can go either way there's no real way to gauge this one. I'm hoping Spurs pull it out by 5.

If we play tough inside and continue our strong defensive play we'll be looking good.
Parker should torch Kidd so i'm expecting a big game from him.

We are shooting an earth shattering 30%.
This could get real ugly real fast.
Need TD to assert himself out there and Tony and Manu need to play themselves in rather than just shooting the lights out. They are a combined 2/13 for 4 points

Tony back to back shots, 34-36 back in it 5 to go in the 2nd.
Timmy making himself known, 2 baskets an assist, some boards and a steal in his second stint

47-45 Spurs
Parker with a huge 2nd quarter and shot at the buzzer to give us the lead.
12 points in the 2nd.
30 points as a team.
Bonner has hit some key 3's
TD struggling with his shot, but is hitting his FT
Manu still only the one shot.
Hoping for a strong 2nd half.

Typical Dallas/SA game...another couple years of my life gone.

Bonner continues to be money! I wish Pop would give him some burn near the end of games to really see what he's made of.

What a fantastic game. What I noticed that Pop wasn't afraid to match down with them and go small in crunch time. TD was the MAN in overtime. He might be the guy who has the quietest big night ever. 34/14? Impressive. I like the looks we got to end regulation and the first OT. Our D wasn't there tonight but we made it up with scoring in bunches. I love that we have good free throw shooters now.
