exactly...that's the way it has been in this series. this is the way dallas should have played with that lead. a few more trips to the line would have put that game away.Personal fouls:

Welcome to Dallas....
awesome....where is manufan at? I'm not shocked that dallas is struggling with portland. But it is shocking to see that memphis is not just beating the spurs, but really taking it to them. the spurs are just worn down it seems.San Antonio 50

Lol at those that actually thought Spurs can win the west. The Duncan era is done

the common perception around the league is that when cuban whines it ultimately backfires. I guess you can look for evidence in the amount of money he has paid to the NBA. Nate Mcmillian got fined 35K for his remark earlier....if it were cuban it would have been 100k.FTA

I guess now if Cuban whines, Stern listens.
In the game I watched(game 1), SA was getting killed in the paint. Memphis was scoring a lot in the paint and getting wide open shots. Very much unlike what you've seen in the past from the spurs defensively. I think the spurs' lack of success is directly related to TD not being as good as he once was at either end of the court in the paint. The spurs are not the defensive team they once were. They need another big man to help TD in the paint. And they also need to rely less on the jump shot, but the main problem is TD's age. They've always had key jumpshooters, but what has always been their difference was TD scoring and defending the paint in tough situations. They always typically had that other big man as well to help him out. They don't appear to have that now. Blair is not that guy.I never thought the Spurs were as good as their record showed.
They are the same team we swept last year just older with some new role players.
I thought the spurs would lose, but not until the 2nd or 3rd round. Memphis is a nightmare matchup for them. But memphis might be a nightmare matchup for anyone that plays them. they beat dallas 3 times this year too.Lol at those that actually thought Spurs can win the west. The Duncan era is done
How do the next rounds play out? If the spurs lose it might make for some very interesting matchups in round 2. From the standpoint that the matchups we all thought we would see...might not happen.
I see a good 7 gamer there, and it depends on how well Kobe holds up and which Gasol shows up. Bynam hasn't been injured for about a week now, I wonder how long that lasts.Dallas gets smoked by the Lakers
OKC beats Memphis in 6
OKC v. LA is one for the ages... and homecourt probably wins it for LA.
