GT: Mavericks vs Spurs 

Post#1 » by Nolan » Sat Oct 25, 2014 3:28 pm

When: 8:00 PM ET, October 28, 2014
Where: AT&T Center, San Antonio, TX

Well it's finally time for the title defense to begin and it's going to begin against our in state rivals the Mavericks. This should be a tough one for us, it looks like we'll be without Splitter and Kawhi and with the way we performed in the preseason I won't be surprised if we come out flat in this one.

The key to this one is going to be containing the Mavericks great offense and exploiting their poor perimeter defense.

We will also be getting our rings on Tuesday so win or lose this is going to be a great night for the team.

Go Spurs!!

GO SPURS GO !
Shaq on Duncan:SA won because of TD, a guy I could never break.I could talk trash to Ewing, get in D-Rob's face, get a rise out of Mourning,but when I went at Tim he’d look at me like he was bored and say:“Hey,Shaq, watch this shot right off the glass.”

2014-15 season is finally here! No Kawhi and Splitter is doubtful. Who gets the start over these guys?

You guys think Kyle Anderson will get a lot of minutes with Kawhi and Splitter out? (I mention Splitter as Diaw would be spelling most of his minutes I'd imagine unless Pop plans to give Baynes 25-30 leaving Anderson some room to be the 2nd unit small ball PF)

Not having Kawhi, Tiago, and Patty is going to be tough.

Pretty even half except most of Dallas's rebounds were on offense. Could've been worse.

OK, I've decided I'm really not into the season starting yet. I need something to pump me up:

Only saw the highlight reel on NBA.com
But Big 3 looked awesome.
Loved the Hakeem shake Duncan pulled on Chandler.
Great to get the win esp without Splitter and Leonard.

Nailbiter. It seems no matter who plays, us and the Mavs usually have a competitive game.

Like the Larry O'Brien patch on the jerseys.

Green switched to #14 ?

Adam Silver is taller than I expected. Looks to be around same height as Manu.

Pop with the beard and awkward spot with Aldridge before the 4th quarter.

Parker on fire from downtown! 4 from deep!

Great win considering Leonard and Splitter's absence.

We are not about the shine but parker could had given a a better speech. But if he just says:
-Ga gugu tagudu

He would still get a standing ovation.
