Where: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX

After that embarasing performance in game 3 hopefully we can turn it around and show some pride, otherwise I think our season is over.

Heres some of the reactions the players and coaches after the game 3 loss:

Bruce Bowen
"It was disappointing, surprising, especially with the standard we set here," San Antonio defensive ace Bruce Bowen said. "This team has no choice (but to bounce back). We're disappointed we came out with the effort that we did. ... That's incentive enough."

Bowen says the Spurs disrespected a franchise that has won four NBA titles since 1999. The defensive stalwart is tied for third with Parker on the franchise list for career playoff games with 120. He said Thursday night's loss was "the worst because of all the things that you built here."


Coach Popovich:
"A tough loss to me is both teams play their (tails) off and somebody makes a shot with 1 second left that's contested or something. That's a tough loss," Popovich said. "(Thursday) was more of an embarrassing kind of loss where the other team dominated from the get-go and threw a punch and you never responded to."


Tony Parker:
"We have no choice," Parker said. "I'll be very aggressive. I'll be right back at it. ... They're going to come harder because they know how important it is to go up 3-1 and we know how important it is to try to even the series."


Dirk Nowitzki:
"You know they're going to be better. Pop's probably chewing them out," Dirk Nowitzki said. "It was a little too easier than we hoped."

Parker with 31 at the HALF wow just wow. Parker and Duncan have played great if they keep it going this series is going to be tied.

They're killing us on the boards, this could be the difference in the game.

Game over and series over, we're done as far as i'm concerned we have no playing worth while outside and Parker and Duncan.

Glad to see Pop continue to go with Bonner, a guy who's never made a clutch shot to save his life, and leave our best clutch shooter on the bench when this game was close late.

Parker said it right. Dallas have a lot more weapons. Dallas have guys who can play. We got a team full of role players and specialists. This year is done. I'm more interested now on what our team will be like next year. We can't come back with the same squad.

Dallas is jsut deeper right now. Duncan and Parker have too much on their shoulders.

I think it shows just how bad our off seasons have been the past couple of years. We have added 0 talent. The only guy we had that could have contributed was Luis Scola and we gave him away. I am really regretting that decision. Tony is the future obviously, but we have nobody of any real substance that can create for themselves outside of the 3, in this series 2. 6 field goals for the entire rest of the team 6! That has to be a record. :banghead:

It sucks that no one else stepped up besides Parker and Duncan....

We have to take it game by game now...

Dallas blew a 3-1 lead to us before and they aren't exactly the best team when it comes to closing teams out.
