NBA Playoffs Game 5: San Antonio Spurs vs Dallas Mavericks
History says they can’t. Of the 189 teams in a hole this deep, only eight have clawed all the way out.
The Mavs have a few thin vines of hope they can cling to, starting with their connections to the last two teams that did it: Marion’s Phoenix Suns in 2006, and the 2003 Detroit Pistons coached by Rick Carlisle, who is now Dallas’ coach.
Both those comebacks came in the first round, where this series is. Both teams were the higher seed, too, which means they had Games 5 and 7 at home; the Mavs have that advantage, too, starting Tuesday night.
Those rallies make for great touchstones, but the inspiration loses steam when factoring in another key element: the caliber of teams that blew those leads.
The 2003 Magic had Tracy McGrady and not much else. The 2006 Lakers had Kobe Bryant and not much else.
The 2010 Spurs have Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker.
Duncan has been bounced from the first round only once in a series he played — against Dallas, just last year, when Ginobili was out with an injury. Now San Antonio can get revenge against its rivals, and in five games, like the Mavs did to them last year.
The Spurs sorta-stole one Sunday night.
Duncan, Ginobili and Parker combined for just 31 points, but San Antonio won anyway, mainly by allowing just 11 points in the third quarter. George Hill picked up the scoring slack with 29 points and Antonio McDyess and DeJuan Blair limited Nowitzki to 10 shots. Blair also frustrated Nowitzki into a technical foul.
Actually, highlight shows are more likely to feature Eduardo Najera’s hard takedown of Ginobili, who already was playing with thick strips of tape covering his broken nose; Najera was called for a flagrant-two foul and automatically ejected just 43 seconds after he entered the game. That clip would be followed by replays of the flagrant-one fouls on San Antonio takedowns of Nowitzki and Jason Kidd.
It’s all proof that this series between Texas rivals has reached the point where the teams are sick of each other.
Carlisle said he doesn’t expect the league to further punish Najera. He also said guard Jason Terry was limited during Monday’s workout because of soreness in the left ankle he twisted Sunday night; he’s still likely to play.
Terry was Dallas’ second-leading scorer in the regular season, but he’s been inconsistent this series, like most of his teammates.
Nowitzki is the only player to score at least 10 points in every game. The 3-point shot Kidd discovered this season has gone missing (7 of 23), while Marion and Caron Butler have struggled at times on both ends of the court. The centers have been such a non-factor that Nowitzki said he wouldn’t be surprised if the Mavs try going without one for part of Game 5, noting that desperate teams have to do desperate things.
If not, they’ll have a long summer to come up with a new one.
