We're coming off a great win against the Warriors to take on the struggling defending champs. The Mav's have had a rough start to the season and we need to jump on them while they're down.

The key with the Mav's as always is containing Dirk. If we can stop him and excute on the offensive end we should win this game.

Go Spurs!!

Bonner will eventually shut down Dirk...

haha, no... though he does play him physical

Think Dallas might be too much, they're getting into flow kinda

[Donald Kaufman]

Dallas win.

Unleash Diogu.

I want to see Anderson playing aggressively. He was so passive in the game against the Warriors.

Danny Green showed signs of awesomeness against GSW - would love to see him in the picture a little more. His hussle in D was great in the 4th although he needs more confidence with his offense, there were so many opportunities where he could've jacked a 3 ball or made the 15-18ft FG..

Here's one hoping Mavs struggle and we get the W, but it will always be a tough game. Even more so now that we haven't got Manu in the line up.

GO SPURS GO!

Absolutely torching Dallas.... a lot of threes, but, that's how it is now

Like 12 threes made in 1st half

55-29

Neal started it

[co_laper]

I'm starting to really like Danny Green.

Here's my thing with Neal and James Anderson. They both basically bring the same thing. Scoring and outside shooting with little defense. Because of that, I just don't think there's enough minutes for 2 guys who brings the same stuff.

Right now, I like Neal more than Anderson because I think Neal is more confident and is better when it comes to getting his own shot. Plus, Anderson's struggles shooting the ball doesn't help. And then, with Neal as a starter, we need Green's defense off the bench. So Anderson is the odd man out.
