Devin Harris loves penetration
Published by The Cavalier May 10th, 2006 in Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs, Tony Parker
Well, it’s been a downer morning, between Cavalier losses and content-stealing losers, so let’s hop on something everyone can behind - the Mavs slapping around the Spurs in their own building.
Tim Duncan had some foul trouble, Tony Parker has an ongoing le boo-boo, and the Mavericks made the necessary adjustments to tie everything up at a game apiece.
Leading the way in adustimacations was Devin Harris, who got a start for Dallas and did a nice Tony Parker imitation, minus the rapping and crepes in the oven.
“We played pretty much our style and our pace this time, as opposed to Game 1,” said [Mavericks Head Coach Averionius] Johnson afterward. “A lot of that had to do with Devin being out there. We were saving him for this round. We had our eyes on this round with Devin.”
“We feel like we can get penetration,” said Harris, who played 32 minutes, doubling his playoff average. “Tony’s one of the best penetrators in the league and a way to attack him is to make him play defense.”
Much like Joe Johnson last year, Devin Harris is one of those players we’ve never actually looked at. We have no idea how the dude’s face is put together, but we’re sure glad to see he’s the anti-Spur. Anything to prevent Pistons-Spurs II is good from over here.
As for the rest of the team, we recognize each and every one of them. Seriously - if you lined of the Dallas Mavericks and were like “Hey, I’m going to read a name and then you point to which Maverick I’m talking about,” we’d be able to correctly identify every player on the first try, often without hesitation.
When it was all over, you’d have no choice but to sit back, shrug your shoulders, and admit we know our Dallas Mavericks roster inside and out. You’d have mixed feelings initially, but later on you’d realize it was an amazing way to spend an afternoon.
Great game! DAMN that “tired leg” syndrome. Like always, the Spurs don’t want to admit that they got owned last night. The surprising thing is, Dirk hasn’t even gotten hot yet and they are winning! The minute he turns up the heat, the Spurs won’t have a chance and complain like the bitches they are. And Ginobili deserved that elbow to the face he got. I’m sure Ron was happy after seeing that hit on him. The question is will Stern hand out a suspension over that? He has to help nurse his little babies back to health you know.
Mavs in 5.
has duncan ever committed a foul before?
ginobli is a fag.
mavs in 6
Why do people dislike the Spurs do you think?
It can’t just be Ginobli, right? Is it just that they win?
I just don’t like watching them because I find all their personalities and games boring, plus Eva Longoria is annoying.
cavalier.. go to maverickmoneyball and check out the picture on todays post… its hilarrrrious
and tim duncan is a whiny bitch.. how does he get this rep of being the most stand up guy ever.. all he does is whine.. he whines more in a game than i do and thats impressive… i hate him
Anything to prevent Spurs v. Detroit II! ANYTHING! I just wish TP was on a cooler squad, because I actually like him. Same with Big Shot Rob, Nick Van Exel, and Brent Barry.
Jonesonthenba is by far the worst blogger on the face of the Earth.
Lucas hate’s me because I like Luke Walton. And we all know Lucas has a copyright on that name…
I hate the Spurs so much that it borders on unhealthy.
One day I was talking to a co-worker/friend about how much I hate them and listed off the following:
Tony Parker for being such a whiny shit.
Manu Ginobli for being such a flopper and for his bald spot.
Bruce Bowen for being the dirtiest fuck.
Tim Duncan for being a giant nerd.
Their fans for being so goddamned lame. (Seriously they play “If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands” and that damn Day-o thing over the PA constantly)
Their boring ass-grind style.
I’m sure the main reason I hate them so much is because the Suns can’t beat them, but those other reasons are huge too.
Anyway, as soon as I listed all those reasons I found out he is a huge Spurs fan…
I felt like a total dick.
dont feel bad about bashing the spurs in front of their fans… he probably didnt understand you anyway…
I agree with Nick on pretty much everything in that post. I am pissed also because the Suns can’t beat them. I wish Stoudamire was healthy though. Hope he’s back next season!
Go Dirk! Mavs in 5 or 6.
Yes I am going to put this in EVERY SINGLE post from now on!
The Suns are going to be pretty crazy next year with Stoudamire. I’m pretty sure they would have swept the Lakers if they had him this year.
something about manu really makes me want to throw things at the tv.
but w/out le tony, we would not have le crepes in le oven. c’est la vie.
RJ apparently will play tonight. stupid, stupid.
just bought my mamba shirt, 8-10 business days til total happiness.
A lot of people find it does that.
Thanks, Becky -
I can’t believe I forgot about Barry’s facial hair and how ugly Poppovich is. Seriously, he looks like white Spawn.
No wonder Brett Barry’s so ugly. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Eeeek. Add David Robinson to the list of all things annoying about the Spurs. Even in retirement. Still annoying. Go Suns.
Barry’s wife Erin is so hot, though.
They’re led by the lamest superstar in the history of the league. David Robinson, regardless of how much bigger his biceps are than my civic, was soft and lame. And then, bread spokesman, Duncan, came and got him a championship, and suddenly it wasn’t so bad to be soft and lame. Right now, there’s probably a poor kid somewhere making crepes, not shaving, endorsing unbuttered toast , practicing bankshots while flopping from the force of the bankshot and then not getting laid. Children need to get laid! I think
If you hate the Spurs and David Robinson, just check what Sir Charles did to him in the 1993 Playoffs and what The Dream did to him in the 1995 playoffs. I think he’s still trying to recover from that dream shake…
Hah, I loved those games, particularly when hakeem made Robinson look retarded in the playoffs after Robinson dropped 72 in the last regular season just to get the scoring title.
And Barkley, it bothers me that he doesn’t have a ring and that tim duncan and sean elliot do. Did you see barkley tried to hold his breath underwater a la david blaine. Can you imagine those two dorks trying that? (in urkel voices) No, guys, holding your breath could be harmful for your lungs. Let’s hold hands and sing.
Lousy bread lovin bass-turds.
Eva Longoria is Maxim’s #1 hottie for the second year in a row. Kudos to Tony Parker, who put the “long” in Longoria.
Wow, did any of you actually watch the game? The officiating WAS got damn awful. Anyone who knows anything about basketball could see that. All I hear is a buncha whiney people whining about “whiners”. The Spurs aren’t a flashy team, don’t like it, choose a different team but stfu about it, fools.
TONY PARKER IS SOOO HOTT AND I AM SOO GLAD THE MAVS LOST THA FINALS!!!!!
sigh…
So, da big big big big big and big reason you don’t like Spurs cause da Suns can’t beat them, rite? =.= It’s not fair, you guys…. Most of you can say how bad Spurs are but I can’t see any logical element in your words….. It just has fuc* or as* and shi*… Wonder why you can say s.t so bad ’bout s.o you don’t really know………..
They can’t win if they are not really well… In life it’s not just lucky =.=…
Spurs haters are like ho’s: Dime a dozen. I hope all of you are women cause its like PMS central in here. Lol @ us having 3 rings and Dallas and the Suns? 0

Hello, the Festiva,
The season David Robinson won the scoring title was 1993-4.
The season He and Hakeem met was 1994-5.
Also, David scored 71, not 72.
Ah, the classic 435 days late smackdown
