Game Blog: Spurs vs. Jazz - Jan. 27

[ClingingMars]

This one's in Utah, so it'll be a tough game, but I'm confident without Boozer we can win anyway! GO SPURS GO!

thanks.

[xtremesteven33]

I think Manu goes for 20+ points tonight.

[Dark Gable]

I see Finley hitting the 20 mark tonight.

[sonic21]

i see oberto taking 2 rebounds :tu

[it's me]

I see Ducks sucking Tony’s nuts

[mardigan]

Spurs 97
Jazz 92

[JoeChalupa]

Spurs 88
Jazz 82

[Brazil]

I see a lot of "The old Manu is back" threads

[spursncowboys]

Red Rocket will make it rain with 6 of 8 3's!!!!

[galvatron3000]

oberto will be good for 5 boards, signed me.

[DPG21920]

AK47 is also out. Milsap is still a beast, D-Will is playing very well and Ronnie Brewer is a great athlete and a ball-hawk. There is still some interesting match ups against Utah. Okur has been playing well.

I actually think the Jazz are much better without Boozer. The real injury set back comes in the form of Kirilenko. The Jazz still have a tough team.

[duncan228]

The Spurs have to have a bad taste in their mouths. I think we'll see them come out ready, a win always feels good.

[balli]

Good luck tonight. I doubt you'll need it. :depressed

[crc21209]

Spurs gotta bounce back tonight. The Big 3 will redeem themselves.

[duncan228]

Spurs call on LP! :elephant

[DPG21920]

I just take for granted I now live in SA

[Spurs1234]

great, i can't stand playing other west teams without the spurs call..the east teams, the broadcast teams tend to give the spurs props, the west broadcast teams i think are just jealous and tired of the spurs beating them...the nets broadcast was top notch last week, would say it was the best broadcast of the year. YES has probably the biggest budget and you could tell, well done.

[Yorae]

Damn no audio pass.....

[tp2021]

Tim ain't pullin no punches tonight.

[cnyc3]

timmayy

[Yorae]

TD dunk...working the boards early...

[loveforthegame]

I really like Millsap.

[Bartleby]

TD is playing like he's still pissed.

[Bartleby]

I really like Millsap.

Millsap is a stud. I really doubt they keep Boozer.

[Yorae]

Why is parker taken out?

[loveforthegame]

Why is Parker coming out?

[tp2021]

Tough finish by Hill!

[Yorae]

Bonnerrr!!!!

[jdev82]

is that two on tim?

[I Love Me Some Me]

Pop's already sick of Tony's crappy defense.

[Yorae]

Parker forgot to put on his deodorant? His back now.

[loveforthegame]

is that two on tim?

Just one.

[Bartleby]

Mason should stick to catch-and-shoot 3's. He really struggles off the dribble.

[Yorae]

Bonner again!!!

[cnyc3]

that dunk has been replayed like 5 times already

[loveforthegame]

Nice to see Bonner off to a good shooting start. Sure could have used that against the Lakers though.

[Banzai]

nice and-1 by Parker.

[loveforthegame]

Damn. Now that's two on Duncan.

[Yorae]

Damn, 2 fouls timmy....

[Yorae]

2 offensive fouls in a row?

[Banzai]

refs out in full force tonight?

[tp2021]

Brewer turned his shoulder into Manu. Not an offensive foul.

[cnyc3]

wow refs are calling this tight

[tp2021]

Damn mormons. :lol

[Yorae]

Why do I feel that bonner needs to return...

[DPG21920]

That pass by Manu to Tony was so dirty.

[loveforthegame]

Why is Oberto taking a jumper when we have Parker, Ginobli, and Finley out there?

[cnyc3]

lol at manu.. he's really getting his stretch on

[birdy219]

I told my laker fan friend that Danny Crawford has completely changed on the Spurs. He USED to be one of the fairest refs that let the players decide, but no longer. Have you seen the way he refs a Boston game? He practically allows perkins and garrett to maul you with no call. Ever since the episode with Joey, Danny has changed.

[duncan228]

It's so cool to get the Spurs commercials. I only get to see them with Spurs call.

[loveforthegame]

2 on Oberto now.

[Yorae]

Utah have a pretty good rotation on their front court, with fesenko and koufus there....

[I Love Me Some Me]

too many fouls....too many turnovers.

[Yorae]

We really like turning the ball over lately.

[loveforthegame]

How many 22-23 foot jumpers is Parker going to take tonight?

[alchemist]

is Parker allergic to driving to the basket?

[loveforthegame]

2 on Thomas now as well.

[tp2021]

Oberto has a badass beard. Rugged.

[I Love Me Some Me]

it doesn't help that tony can't keep Deron Williams in front of him.

[birdy219]

refs out in full force tonight?

Watch for Crawford. He hates us and he does not try to hide it.

[Banzai]

mason made a nice 3.

[Yorae]

Play potato head pop. Please.

[Libri]

It's so cool to get the Spurs commercials. I only get to see them with Spurs call.

Did you see the yoga one?

[loveforthegame]

Needed that 3 pointer by Mason there.

I wouldn't mind seeing Hill get a few more minutes tonight.

[024]

bonner must be reading spurstalk. trying to stick it to us.

[CubanMustGo]

All three Spurs bigs have two fouls, and Utah has two fouls total. What a joke.

[Yorae]

manu......

[thekingrobert]

Mason needs to improve his dribbling

[Yorae]

At least we're on attack mode but three missed layups in a row with no foul?

[Shang Tsung]

Just terrible offence from spurs last 3 posessions... :/

[024]

shit that was ugly. spurs haven't attacked the rim for so long that they have forgotten how to.

[duncan228]

Did you see the yoga one?

Yes I did. :)

[benefactor]

Early Udoka sighting...

[benefactor]

Timmy getting things back on track for us.

[I Love Me Some Me]

The Spurs are a step slow on defense. The bigs are all in foul trouble because the guards can stay in front of their man.


What a shot by Timmy.

[Banzai]

lol duncan...crazy shot!

[Shang Tsung]

wow, nice and-1 from Timmy

[Yorae]

Udoka instead of bowen.....

[024]

oh duncan... you don't leave okur open for a jump shot.

[Yorae]

Travelling? fuck these refs....

[Death In June]

Does anyone have an explanation as to why Manu is so inconsistent now? Is his ankle really 100%?

[thekingrobert]

so, so far we cant make layups?

[loveforthegame]

Udoka still can't hit a shot when it matters.

[alchemist]

why is Udoka in the game, the guy can't score to save his life.

[Yorae]

Where's bowen.....

[thekingrobert]

spurs hands are active

[Yorae]

We can't get a damn rebound.

[Ice009]

Horrible Shot From Michael.

[thekingrobert]

the refs really hate the spurs dont they

[Ice009]

WTF why isn't Bruce playing?

This is beyond weird now.

[vanishing_dude]

i hope finley would stop pretending he could still make those shots...pls..stop taking shots like that..

[boutons_]

Spurs can't shoot. 8 pts in 6 min of 2nd qtr.

Jazz cooled off but still shooting better than Spurs.

Spurs looking mediocre, just another team playing basketball

[loveforthegame]

No one outside of Duncan and Bonner can make a shot.

[alchemist]

-Pop playing musical chairs
-Ginobili throwing away the ball

[Yorae]

Now the refs are calling it...man crush on parker?

[Yorae]

The jazz might be wondering why the game is tied when they're playing good and we're playing awful.

[boutons_]

will either team get 15 pts in 2nd qtr?

[thekingrobert]

wow we're shooting 41% OUCH

[thekingrobert]

will either team get 15 pts in 2nd qtr?
well we have 13 so yeah

[alchemist]

The jazz might be wondering why the game is tied when they're playing good and we're playing awful.
actually the Jazz have been on the Udoka diet (can't make a shot) so were unbelievably lucky to still be in this game.

[45 bank shot]

still the same ole problem all season long- REBOUNDING. We gave away too many of offensive rebounds n thaz gonna come back n hurt us when playin teams like UTAH

[Bartleby]

Nice to see Bonner found his shot.

[loveforthegame]

It doesn't help that Finley and Ginobli are both 0-2, Parker is 2-7, and Mason 1-3.

Bonner is on thankfully.

[loveforthegame]

2 fouls on Ginobli and Bonner.

[Death In June]

It's nice to see that the spurs continue to leave the three line open, as it's only lost them six or seven games.

[loveforthegame]

Thank goodness for Duncan tonight.

[peskypesky]

Duncan having a monster game tonight.

[Bartleby]

Bonner with the clutch 3!!!

[peskypesky]

Bonner For 3!!!!!!!!

[Yorae]

Wohoooo Bonnerrr!!!!!

[peskypesky]

yeah, beeyatch!!

[loveforthegame]

Nice assist by Finley for a Bonner 3.

[tp2021]

What a beautiful play.
:lmao at Sean: "And you hear the Jazz fans, they're just warming up"

[Ice009]

I don't think any Spurs fan can bag Matt Bonner right now.

Great game so far from Bonner.

[peskypesky]

we got this

[boutons_]

Matt going for 50

[Bartleby]

That booing at the end of the half was music to my ears.

[xtremesteven33]

Boner 4 Bonner in full effect tonight!

[Pauleta14]

See Tony, what a good D can do ...

[peskypesky]

OK, so both big men got it going on. WTF is up with the guards and sf's?

[I Love Me Some Me]

The Spurs are so lucky to even be in this game. They've played horrible.

[peskypesky]

well, i guess tp's having a good game too

[duncan228]

Duncan means it tonight.

Nice to see a few things clicking for them.

[thekingrobert]

we scored 12 points in the last 2 and a half minutes

[Pauleta14]

Can't beleve we're +1 at the half !
"Spurs Magic" I suppose...

[benefactor]

Boner 4 Bonner in full effect tonight!

no team plays well in utah

[ManuTP9]

utah fans....lmao

[peskypesky]

bonner 4-4 from the 3pt line?

[pawe]

Just got in. How's the team doing?

[benefactor]

Honestly...this kinda makes me pissed at Bonner. Who gives a crap if you can do this against a struggling Jazz team? We needed it Sunday afternoon....

[South Side Spurs Fan]

Just occured to me (as Okur was abusing Bonner under the basket): Bonner could benefit from watching tapes of Malik. If he could get his center of gravity down, he wouldn't be giving ground so easy. I swear, Malik used to guard the hell out of Shaq by dropping his center of gravity.

Just an observation.
:wakeup

[Yorae]

Uhm but manu is not back yet.......

[peskypesky]

Malik had much bigger balls.

[benefactor]

a win is a win.
If I remember correctly...we got our ass kicked Sunday.

[South Side Spurs Fan]

Malik had much bigger balls.

And a much bigger butt.

[Yorae]

Malik had much bigger balls.

he could add weights to his balls....

[peskypesky]

Manu, Mason and Finley combine for a big 3 pts in the first half.

[Yorae]

And a much bigger butt.

That I don't know if he can do something about...

[South Side Spurs Fan]

I guess you could say he was "bottom heavy."

[peskypesky]

If I remember correctly...we got our ass kicked Sunday.

a loss is a loss


a win against the lakers isn't worth any more than a win against utah in the standings

[peskypesky]

he could add weights to his balls....

lol

[jdev82]

ik hes not a rookie, but do you think roger is hitting a bit of a wall in the new system?
or do you think hes just in a big slump. i mean like 3 months straight of being in the zone had to end right? or is it not too optomistic to ask him for 11 points and some defense every night

[benefactor]

a loss is a loss


a win against the lakers isn't worth any more than a win against utah in the standings
So you are saying that a win against the Lakers in LA is equal to tonight's game?

Go find a new team.

[Manu-of-steel]

how can someone be pissed with the way bonner is playing?

[South Side Spurs Fan]

lol

Think he could handle sixes?

Yes it is.

Go study some Spurs history. You're obviously a newbie.

[South Side Spurs Fan]

Bowen getting the night off, I see.

Guess Pop figured we could do without him...

[byrdman31]

sup guys, just getting home and saw the last 2 plays before the half... looked awesome, how was the rest of the game

[Yorae]

Don't fucking tell me bowen is a trade bait. Fuck, I want him to retire as a spurs.

[benefactor]

Go study some Spurs history. You're obviously a newbie.
Maybe you need to take your own advice. Not only have the Lakers been our #1 rival over the past decade they are our #1 roadblock this year. Your insinuation that a win in LA is just another win is pure fail.

You're all alone on this one.

[Shang Tsung]

bonner boners another one

[byrdman31]

dammit where were those 3's against LA

[benefactor]

Good start to the second half.

[South Side Spurs Fan]

Bonner needs to do this shit against quality teams. With D to go with it.

[loveforthegame]

Don't fucking tell me bowen is a trade bait. Fuck, I want him to retire as a spurs.

They're not trading Bowen. Don't worry.

[loveforthegame]

Damn, 3 fouls on Duncan. We can't afford to lose him.

[benefactor]

Mason again...

[byrdman31]

They're not trading Bowen. Don't worry.


we definitely need him for his D in the playoffs

[peskypesky]

Maybe you need to take your own advice. Not only have the Lakers been our #1 rival over the past decade they are our #1 roadblock this year. Your insinuation that a win in LA is just another win is pure fail.

You're all alone on this one.

like i said, you're a noob.

[loveforthegame]

Mason getting in on the action too.

[Yorae]

Ohh we're shooting the lights out now.

[benefactor]

20 for Bonner...wtf?

[byrdman31]

Red Rocket!

[Shang Tsung]

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
bonner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peskypesky]

Bonner!!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Bonner is on fire. 6-6 from 3 point land.

[benefactor]

like i said, you're a noob.
Nice counter argument.

[I Love Me Some Me]

I love Bonner's shot tonight, but he has to guard Okur a little better.

[benefactor]

Pop must have ripped some ass during halftime.

[Libri]

Duncan Dunk!!!

[loveforthegame]

What' the 3 point record for the Spurs? I know Finley had 8 in the playoffs but what about regular season?

[Yorae]

TD Dunk!!! Red Rocket Red Hot!!!

[peskypesky]

Duncan posterizes Millsap!!!

[ezau]

It's official, I want a BONNER Jersey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peskypesky]

Tim again.

[fiona_yin]

bonner 6/6

[Yorae]

See, if TD wants to dunk, he will dunk.

[Yorae]

What's the record for perfect 3 pt shooting, i mean how many, uhm you get me don't you?

[peskypesky]

See, if TD wants to dunk, he will dunk.

who knew?

[tomtom]

just joined in. wtf bonner with 20

[peskypesky]

just joined in. wtf bonner with 20

drilling them

[South Side Spurs Fan]

Malik had Cannon balls.

Bonner has raisins.

[peskypesky]

Tony with the crab dribble!!

[loveforthegame]

Not a good possession for Parker.

[South Side Spurs Fan]

This is what I hate!!!!

We shoot the lights out then give it right back. All season same crap. Have we turned into the '06 Suns?

[Yorae]

Jazz making a run now.

[South Side Spurs Fan]

Trading baskets has never been the Spurs game...

[tomtom]

hmm offense looks good but defense is pretty bad, they;re shooting just as well

[Pauleta14]

Tony can't make any jump shot anymore...

[JohnnySixString]

This is what I hate!!!!

We shoot the lights out then give it right back. All season same crap. Have we turned into the '06 Suns?


This is what the Spurs always do. Always.

[loveforthegame]

I'd rather see Bowen or Finley instead of Udoka.

[South Side Spurs Fan]

hmm offense looks good but defense is pretty bad, they;re shooting just as well

Same story all season.
:bang

[peskypesky]

Tony for 3!!

[Yorae]

Damn where's timmy...

[TMTTRIO]

Manu sucks. I really hope he gets things together. I still believe that he will but it's getting harder.

[peskypesky]

Damn where's timmy...

foul trouble

[tomtom]

sigh, 21 to 31 in rebounds

[Pauleta14]

Nice answer Tony!!
wtf refs!!! no fault on tony?

[I Love Me Some Me]

Spurs bench is getting owned tonight.

Manu included. For as much shit he talked about "effort" after Sunday's game, he's an absolute no-show so far tonight.

[Pauleta14]

Spurs bench is getting owned tonight.

Manu included. For as much shit he talked about "effort" after Sunday's game, he's an absolute no-show so far tonight.

I'm hure he'll wake up in the fourth!
The question is will it be enough...

[South Side Spurs Fan]

Manu sucks. I really hope he gets things together. I still believe that he will but it's getting harder.

5 assists and 2 steals is better than suck

[Spurminator]

Christ, Fin, what was that?

[peskypesky]

Parker And 1!!!

[Yorae]

Tp!!!!

[peskypesky]

bullshit call on manu

[peskypesky]

spurs need tim

[Manu-of-steel]

not a good defensive sequence for the spurs

[loveforthegame]

Ginobli having a horrible game. Again.

[tp2021]

Terrible Halfcourt Defense! The Worst I Have Ever Seen!

[tomtom]

what the hell was that

[peskypesky]

Spurs - Duncan = ?

[loveforthegame]

Crappy end to the 3rd quarter.

Duncan might have to play the entire 4th for us to win this one.

[tony09manu]

Defense.

[Duncan2177]

Shitty defense:bang

[Yorae]

Fuck where's the fucking defense?

[I Love Me Some Me]

Every minute Micheal Finley is on the floor is 60 seconds of wasted basketball.

[Manu-of-steel]

damn, jazz still able to score on the last play. where's the defense?

[Trainwreck2100]

that progressive chick needs to die

[45 bank shot]

I was takin a shower and when I came back I found Spurs were up by like 4 n heard the commentators sayin, "spurs were up by as many as 11..."
then all I saw was offensive rebounds after offensive rebounds for Utah...

[Ditty]

we should be blowing these guys out wheres bonner,mason and duncan

get ginobili and finley and udoku out of there

[boutons_]

Spurs sucking seriously. Jazz wanting it worse.

Spurs getting killed on the boards, on defense. Jazz get 31 pts in 3rd qtr.

[JohnnySixString]

Fuck where's the fucking defense?

If the Spurs only knew the answer to that....................:rolleyes

[Ice009]

Spurs STINK. What a pathetic finish to the quarter.

That last score the Spurs gave Utah was INEXCUSABLE!

[cnyc3]

good job bruce

[peskypesky]

I'm glad Bonner's on the bench since he didn't bring anything tonight. :(

[tony09manu]

Free throws. :'(

[Yorae]

Wow bruce....

[loveforthegame]

Bowen to the rescue.

[Manu-of-steel]

the big 3 tonight so far-tony,tim, and bonner. manu, wake up! we need you in the fourth quarter. and please, spurs as a team, defend! go spurs go!

[Yorae]

Manu block!!!

[peskypesky]

Bowen = secret weapon

[loveforthegame]

Bowen again.

[Yorae]

Potatohead!!!

[benefactor]

Start Bruce!

GHill and 1!

[024]

nice one by hill.

[Bartleby]

:lol Bruce coming off the bench to bring some punch to the offense!

[tomtom]

Hill And 1!

[peskypesky]

George Hill and1!!

[loveforthegame]

Sweet move by Hill and the assist from Bowen.

[Yorae]

Bowen = secret weapon

With a secret killer crossover....

[I Love Me Some Me]

Hill deserves Finley's minutes.

[peskypesky]

:lol Bruce coming off the bench to bring some punch to the offense!

:lmao

[loveforthegame]

Missed ft's hurting the Spurs tonight too.

[peskypesky]

Spurs are better when Duncan's on the floor. Who knew?

[loveforthegame]

Hill deserves Finley's minutes.

Different positions. As bad as Finley's defense is no way Hill can guard the 2/3's in the league.
