Bella's quirky musings... allas version

 

 

3723194c1b195b3dfb5bdd91b88ee30f-getty-_medium 

Mr. Ginobili has asked Bella to accept all apologies from the nitwits that failed to worship at his altar prior to the Toronto game.  Please schedule your acts of contrition with Ms. Bella's people and she'll absolve you when and if she has time.  

 

 

 

 

* I walk into the AT&T Center and the first thing I notice WTF?!... the trophies are missing?  What?  Why? Doesn't the Spurs organization realize the enormous psychological damage those shiny, round domes impart on the souls of Mavs fans?  (Shiny, round dome... hmmm... reminds me of something... it'll come to me... give me a minute).  ;-)  Anyway, those suckers better be back before the next game or heads (oooh... a hint) will roll.

 

* A couple of lovely moments of recognition for our veterans.  Including the half time military jazz band, an injured soldier recovering at BAMC and a group of really adorable soldiers walking onto the court and being serenaded by the huge standing ovation of the appreciative crowd. 

 

*  Our own retired favorite player and former naval officer being show on the big screen.  Thunderous applause and Mr. Robinson looks up to see why the crowd is cheering.  It takes a second and then the recognition... it's for me.  Big huge, beautiful smile and a friendly wave of acknowledgement to the crowd.  I still love this man.

 

* There are way too many allas and Laker fans that attend games in San Antonio.  Thank goodness the Mavs never really gave their followers anything substantial to cheer for, because there was a considerable contingency from pretentious land.  (Yes, I'm looking at you, Mr. Cuban).

 

* Holy cow... did we really rediscover our Defense?  Little ol' us?  Momentary lapse or the beginning of a beautiful relationship?  Who knows, but I can't wait to view the next chapter. 

 

* Manu was wearing some sort of black strap under his jersey... apparently it was irritating him and he threw it to the bench.  Any clue what that might be?  Do you think it had a rose in the front of it? 

 

* Crappy-Doo step aside, we have a new best flopper acting nominee.... may I present Mr. Jason "I've fallen and I can't get up" Terry.  Truly, I have not seen a more over the top performance since the poopy-doo 360 in the 2006 playoffs.  I laughed, I cried (from laughing),  Mr. Fallen... that was pure genius. 

 

* When playing the mavericks, there is nothing better than watching Dirk Nowitzki get discombobulated.  His frustration was palpable and with each possesion he grew more and more agitated.  The whole allas team started heading to the locker rooms as soon as Manu held the ball for the last possession.  Love to see that.

 

* Holy cow, the old get off my lawn Pop is back!  Dayum, he was chewing on everybody and calling plays and coaching and stuff.  Who thought the wino still had it in him?  Me... that's who!  I love this man.

"You don't need those forearms, do you Dirk?" 

 

 

*  How much do we love McDyess' enforcerer attitude in the game?  I can't remember the last time I saw a veteran player who's physically intimidating as well as being a smart, savvy player.  (savvy in a good way).  Love him.

 

*  Tony honey, just a little advice... when the camera is on you and you're appearing on the big screen in front of the home crowd, a little tiny bit of an acknowledgement to the loyal followers would be appropriate.  Okay?  Good... did the wife not teach you anything?  Cheese Whiz.   Oooops, sorry.  That was supposed to say Bless your heart.

 

*  The coyote was dressed as a huge brown bat.  People with large nets were awaiting him on the sidelines.  He started to back off when he came into Manu's view.  Manu had to turn away, but you could see he was laughing.  It was a pretty funny bit. However, not funny was the timing of the stunt... it was immediately before a critical point in the game.  Seriously.... could you ummm work on your time... ummm... timi.... Timing.  kthxs.

Very noice, bell. I dunno if I should set a schedule for my act of contrition.. I seem to have a short memory ;)

Crappy-Doo step aside, we have a new best flopper acting nominee…. may I present Mr. Jason “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” Terry.

So did The Jet really pull a cheap shot on our Cubits?

I honestly didn’t see that when it occurred, but there was a lot of physical play on the court. More so than usual, so I don’t doubt it. And Jason Terry is such a jerk it wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Could you see the look of sheer despair on Cuban’s face? And I’d also like to know what you thought of Eugene’s flying kick that was called a foul on George.

The Spurs - not playing defense anymore, since 2008.

I believe it looked something like this…

By the way, thanks to you and or Davis for centering the photos. I totally don’t remember how we do that.

great post bella. I love Dice. He’s a rock, disturbs players with his physicality, and is so smart, oh.. AND he’s old!

Dirk: Are you going to be this physically annoying the whole game?
Dice: No question.

While listening to the radio feed, I remember several times when Pop called a play. I was like what the…is this what coaches do? It’s almost like he cared.

one question: is Big Kev now the PA announcer???? it sounds like him on TV, but…….and what happened to the guy from last year – and did Big Kev has some kind of injury or something that kept him away? i know what’s with all the announcer questions? I miss Stan “stick with ’em” Kelly. I can still hear his ""a little help!!"

and your comments – yes – where are all those non Manu worshippers? I mean, Brandon Roy is good – but he has no defense, handles or knack for making that big steal like Manu has. Manu can dominate a game without scoring a point.

watching Dirk get all discombobulated is VERY funny. he gets softer and softer as the years pass. just switch up defenders on him and knock him around until he gets all pissy and starts missing his jumpers by the 4th. works like a charm. i wouldnt waste anymore of our top defenders on him thru qtrs 1-3 again. i also noticed that he let out one of those RAWWWWWRs when he got a lay-up +1. it was very funny to hear his squealy, whiny voice trying to be hard man.

on old nut-punch – are you referring to the double flop he and Manu put on each other in the second half. that was one of the funniest things i have seen all year. I thought I was watching France and Italy in the World Cup.

The night is off to a rough start. Spurs PA announcer Kevin “Big Kev” Brock injured both knees while shooting the ball on the AT&T Center court before the game and won’t be announcing tonight.

It was last December before the Toronto game. I think he didn’t return until the playoffs or maybe just this season.

there was a guy who filled in for a big chunk of last year i think. he had the most annoying “rojah maaassssooonnn joooooooooooooooooooooooooonier”

by bones on Nov 13, 2009 7:01 AM CST up reply actions  

Blase’s right. Kevin Brock came back for the playoffs and he is announcing this season.

I liked Stan Kelly, but the Spurs needed a change.

I really like Big Kev’s “Dos Minutos! Dos Minutos!” when there is two minutes left.

nothing personal bella, but damn i hate the “allas cos they play no D” thing (no matter who its applied to).

So “San Antni Spurs 08-09” won’t work either?

Love the bit about Pop. Thanks for the inside view Bella. Like LD said, funny and quirky.

I can’t believe we don’t a pic of Cuban’s expression after the game or towards the end when we game them hope and then the Rocket squashed it. (Looking at you Janie :P) Somebody’s gotta have it!

I saw that bloack thing that Manu threw off, too – I have no idea what it was, but it never re-appeared, just like the mouth guard is gone now.
