Game Blog :: April 10 :: Spurs vs. Jazz

[peskypesky]

Gooden's extra pass leads to Udoka 3. I like that.

[Cherry]

Toooonnny!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Wow, Ime can't miss out there.

:flag:

[peskypesky]

Crazy Eyes is in!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp 2222222222

[spursfan1000]

Boozer is doin horrible with 4 points, 3 rebounds.

[peskypesky]

7pt lead. :)

Keep it up!

[Libri]

nice move by Gooden

[TDfan2007]

Duncan seems to have a problem after halftime. His knees must go cold or something. I hope they do something at halftime to keep him loose. It's happened in a few games now, he seems slower in the second half.

He may seem a bit slower, but I'm more worried about his basketball IQ for this game. It's been atrocious and I'm not sure why.


btw Gooden is playing really well right now.

[Spursmania]

Come on Spurs- Get the score up!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Gooden!!!!!!!!

[Thomas82]

Duncan seems to have a problem after halftime. His knees must go cold or something. I hope they do something at halftime to keep him loose. It's happened in a few games now, he seems slower in the second half.

I noticed that too. They need to monitor that for the playoffs.

[Spursmania]

Thomas looked like he was set.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck the refs

[spursfan1000]

Thats why he missed it, should have been a NO call.

[Capt Bringdown]

KT continuing his slide into uselessness.

[peskypesky]

Gooden looks like a better post scorer than Duncan now.

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm not worried about Duncan tonight, this game isn't on his health..like TDfan said, he's making bad decisions..he has his games like this, even when healthy..

Kurt not having a good game tonight, looks out of rhythm..

[Death In June]

What the fuck was that.

[TDfan2007]

am I the only one who never expects Ime's shot to go in?

[Biggems]

these refs suck..they are gift wrapping fouls for the jazz....and not giving the Spurs any of the same treatment on the other end.

if they are going to call these weak touch fouls on the Spurs, call them on the Jazz as well. Just be fair.

[Spurs Brazil]

Jazz with 20FTA

[peskypesky]

am I the only one who never expects Ime's shot to go in?

i thought it was going in.

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL no call on Deron Williams for traveling..wow that was ridiculous..

I thought we were at home..

[spursfan1000]

Bowen looks a little fucked up.

[Biggems]

i hate when a player shoots, the ball gets rebounded by the opposite, and then the ref blows the whistle for a foul on the defense.

[Thomas82]

i hate when a player shoots, the ball gets rebounded by the opposite, and then the ref blows the whistle for a foul on the defense.

That's happened way too often tonight.

[peskypesky]

Refs fucking the Spurs over.

[duncan228]

I'm more concerned about Duncan's knees than his BBIQ lapse. We know how brilliant he is on the court, he'll beat himself up over the mental lapse and correct it. His knees aren't that easy to fix.

[Biggems]

Between the shitty refs calling ticky tack fouls on the Spurs, but not calling any fouls on the Jazz and the Spurs just giving the ball away like it's charity with stupid passes, this game is tight.

If the Spurs would make sharper passes.....they would have a double digit lead still.

[15 RINGS BITCH]

dont tell me you guys cant handle the jizz on your own floor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Solid D]

Spurs doing a lot of standing and not enough moving nor going all out for rebounds and loose balls. - Energy.

[Texas_Ranger]

:lol...this fouls are nice.

[Spursmania]

Lame-o call as usual by Crawford

[Spurs Brazil]

Foul after foul after foul

[kace]

tony 1-6 after beginning at 6-6

[Biggems]

that wasnt a foul on Bruce...he never even touched Korver....in fact, Korver initiated all the contact and even pushed off with his elbow.

[TDfan2007]

The guys aren't hustling anymore. Their energy level has dropped considerably since halftime.

[balli]

A bad call, but Sean Elliott is an unprofessional asshole. He doesn't have to mock Korver because Joey blew his whistle.

[spursfan1000]

Good effort by Drew.

[Spursmania]

Gooden with some energy! Let's go Spurs-we need this.

[spursfan1000]

Drew is doing good on everything.

[Biggems]

dont tell me you guys cant handle the jizz on your own floor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spurs are committing too many unforced turnovers

also, here in the 3rd, every trip down, they are calling a foul on the Spurs...whether there is contact or not.....meanwhile the Spurs cant buy a foul on the offensive end.

[Libri]

Gooden drives and converts with a layup

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Gooden!

[peskypesky]

Gooden should start over Duncan.

[TDfan2007]

Gooden and Udoka playing well. The rest...not so much.

[Spursmania]

All they need is a shot of B12-right now. Energy, energy...

[Biggems]

Boozer flops and the refs buy everything he is selling.

[Thomas82]

What's up with all these fouls??

[Biggems]

finally, we draw a foul.....good job Ime

[Spurs Brazil]

The NBA is pathetic

Every game Crawford is in he fuck us and the NBA keep him in our games

[spursfan1000]

Nice play by Udoka drawing the foul.

[Biggems]

Are we playing Chris Paul or the Jazz? I swear with all these whistles, it seems like CP3 is on the floor

[Spursmania]

The NBA is pathetic

Every game Crawford is in he fuck us and the NBA keep him in our games

For real.

[Libri]

Kuuurt!

[Spurs Brazil]

What's up with all these fouls??

[peskypesky]

The NBA is pathetic

Every game Crawford is in he fuck us and the NBA keep him in our games

:toast

[spursfan1000]

Nice jobe by Roger Mason drawing the defense and passing it to Kurt for 2.

[TDfan2007]

Tim with 4 TOs and a +/- of -5 :(

[Spursmania]

Wow-I can't believe we got that call!:wow

[Libri]

D. Williams with a carry

Spurs get the ball

[Biggems]

wow the refs actually called a carry? amazing.....every PG carries the ball, I cant believe they called that.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 76-71 after the 3rd

[spursfan1000]

Spurs 76 Jazz 71 at end of 3rd.

[peskypesky]

get the ball to Gooden

[TDfan2007]

wow...we gave up 30 points that quarter and pissed away a double digit lead. That's sounds like the 2009 Spurs to me...

[peskypesky]

wow the refs actually called a carry? amazing.....every PG carries the ball, I cant believe they called that.

they SHOULD be calling it.

[Mavs<Spurs]

btw, at end of 3, _allas beating the Hornets by 16, 77 to 61.

:flag:

[Solid D]

Without Udoka and Gooden in that 3rd quarter, the Spurs would be behind.

[kace]

wow the refs actually called a carry? amazing.....every PG carries the ball, I cant believe they called that.

not every PG does that as obviously as D-Will. he does that way more than most PG.

http://www.bbsr.de/images/nba/joe_crawford-byron_scott.jpg

Enough said!!

[Thomas82]

Without Udoka and Gooden in that 3rd quarter, the Spurs would be behind.

True that!!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Without Udoka and Gooden in that 3rd quarter, the Spurs would be behind.

we're in a bad place if we are depending upon Udoka.

:flag:

[anonoftheinternets]

they SHOULD be calling it.

im impressed some games back during the OKC game, they called tp for carrying 2wice and i was like wow. I think they are makin an effort to clean up the carrying and travelling.

[Mavs<Spurs]

5 Spurs in double figures.

:flag:

[TDfan2007]

we're getting pwned on the boards tonight.

[spursfan1000]

Turnover Jazz. :flag:

[Biggems]

good steal, but refs call a cheap foul on Bowen.

same type of play when the refs let Williams steal it from Parker to ignite a fast break


we are playing some good D.....we just cant get any love. these are grown men, there will always be minimal contact....let it go and let them play. SHeesh

[peskypesky]

Knicks beating Orlando

[Biggems]

we're getting pwned on the boards tonight.

well i have seen 3 defensive rebounds taken away cause as soon as we got the rebound they called a foul on us...giving the jazz FTs.

[Spursmania]

I don't like those shots so much. I like when he takes inside shots.

[Thomas82]

well i have seen 3 defensive rebounds taken away cause as soon as we got the rebound they called a foul on us...giving the jazz FTs.

I swear we are the most hated team in basketball.

[Solid D]

The Spurs aren't standing around any more. If they can just keep their fouls down, the rest of the way, don't settle for jumpers and out-hustle the Jazz, the game is theirs.

[spursfan1000]

Mason 33333333333333333333

[Libri]

Mason with a loooong 3

[Spursmania]

5 point lead-come on Spurs!

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 33333333333333333333

[HarlemHeat37]

I understand we need to limit minutes, but we need a win..so I'd like to see Tony or Tim come back earlier than they usually do, particularly Tony..

[baseline bum]

Money shot!

[Thomas82]

Rmj 33333333!!!

[Spursmania]

Damn, we needed that KT.

[Libri]

Mason 3 :ihit

[Thomas82]

Mason again!!!

[Crookshanks]

damn - how many and 1's does Williams get?

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Biggems]

just let Williams have his 2....why do we even try to contain him when he is within 5 ft of the basket........he gets the continuation every time.

[peskypesky]

Spurs D looking good. Gooden looking gooden. Mason on fire!

[Spursmania]

I understand we need to limit minutes, but we need a win..so I'd like to see Tony or Tim come back earlier than they usually do, particularly Tony..

:tu

[Thomas82]

We need to cut down on these fouls!!

[TDfan2007]

Roger heating up. I'm glad he has the confidence to shoot those pullup 3s now. He stopped for a while.

[Spurs Brazil]

Jazz with 26FTA

FUCK Crawford

[Thomas82]

i understand we need to limit minutes, but we need a win..so i'd like to see tony or tim come back earlier than they usually do, particularly tony..


+1

[Mavs<Spurs]

Bruce fouling a lot more than usual tonight.

:flag:

[Biggems]

we need to get to the basket and get a few FTs....that way they wont have a foul to give late in the game.

[peskypesky]

just let Williams have his 2....why do we even try to contain him when he is within 5 ft of the basket........he gets the continuation every time.

how about this? if you're going to foul him, make it hard enough to keep him from scoring! he ain't Shaq or Dwight or Lebron fer chrissakes.

[HarlemHeat37]

Deron Williams is getting calls that Parker isn't..

Utah is really only in this game because of officiating..

[peskypesky]

Deron Williams is getting calls that Parker isn't..

Utah is really only in this game because of officiating..

Fucking Joey Bitch-ass Crawford!!:ihit:ihit

[Thomas82]

Deron Williams is getting calls that Parker isn't..

Utah is really only in this game because of officiating..

Ain't that the truth!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Millsap has made some horrible decisions tonight..

[Spursmania]

Bonner was wide open! Damn.

[Thomas82]

Can we put Tim back in now to close this thing out??

[SpursFan0728]

how many FT does Utah have?

[Crookshanks]

Deron Williams is getting calls that Parker isn't..

Utah is really only in this game because of officiating..
I knew as soon as I saw Joey Crawford was officiating that we were in for a tough game.

They're giving Utah everything - you know Bruce doesn't usually foul like that.
Damn, stupid refs, we really need this game and Crawford is screwing us as usual! :bang

[Capt Bringdown]

Oh goody, here comes Finley!

[Solid D]

Refs are definitely on Twitter tonight. Every Jazz dribble-drive gets a tweet.

[Thomas82]

How are Spurs already over the foul limit??

[peskypesky]

this is when we REALLY need Manu :(

[Spursmania]

Let's go Spurs! Everbody sucking wind and TP missing FT's once again.

[TDfan2007]

Tim still can't hit a shot...

[Crookshanks]

How are Spurs already over the foul limit??

Because they changed the rules for tonight - every defensive rebound for the Spurs is now a foul.:ihit

[HarlemHeat37]

Okur pushes Duncan into Deron..

[Biggems]

Okur pushed Duncan into Williams......that is a horrible call.

[Spurs Brazil]

It was on Okur

FUCK THE REFS
FUCK THE REFS
FUCK THE REFS
FUCK THE REFSFUCK THE REFSFUCK THE REFS
FUCK THE REFSFUCK THE REFS
FUCK THE REFSvFUCK THE REFSFUCK THE REFS

[Spursmania]

Okur pushed Duncan into WIlliams.

[Thomas82]

Offensive foul on Tim??

[Trainwreck2100]

ok that was pretty bad

[spursfan1000]

Okue you should know not to go soft.

[TDfan2007]

Grab the damn rebound!

[Thomas82]

This is GARBAGE!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Milsapp pushes Parker when he's trying to get the rebound..

[Crookshanks]

25 - 16 fouls called. 25 AGAINST the Spurs

[Spursmania]

Spurs have to work through these stupid calls. Be tough!

[peskypesky]

Least the refs could do was bring some KY.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Jazz continuing to manhandle us on the boards (those fouls are part of the reason why, but not the whole or even the main reason).
:flag:

[anonoftheinternets]

LOL hilarious. pop tells tony mid play to drive hte ball ...and he does jus that so easily and gets a call

[Biggems]

this is why we dont win at home as much anymore.....we get called for cheap fouls that have no bearing on the play....and on the other end, we dont get those same calls.

ever since the Crawford incident, we get very little love from the refs.

[TDfan2007]

This game has had a disgusting amount of whistles on stupid off-ball shit. Btw the Spurs winning this game means nothing other than 51 on the W column instead of 50. They're still executing poorly at times and giving inconsistent effort. Oh and Tim still looks bad out there. This is depressing...

[Biggems]

TP has to make his FTs now....it is essential....we got the call, now we have to convert.

[Spursmania]

Jazz continuing to manhandle us on the boards (those fouls are part of the reason why, but not the whole or even the main reason).
:flag:
Right, the Spurs need to grind this out! TP must drive.

[anonoftheinternets]

anyone else notice, odom is always in the background of where amazing happens? in both the kobe and dwades videos. lol .

[TDfan2007]

this is why we dont win at home as much anymore.....we get called for cheap fouls that have no bearing on the play....and on the other end, we dont get those same calls.

ever since the Crawford incident, we get very little love from the refs.

We don't win home games because of piss-poor execution in second halves.

[Pauleta14]

LOL hilarious. pop tells tony mid play to drive hte ball ...and he does jus that so easily and gets a call

tony is a dream for any coach in that regard!

[peskypesky]

Have Spurs ever won a game that Crawford reffed?

[Thomas82]

Good job Tony!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Almost TD

[Crookshanks]

Have Spurs ever won a game that Crawford reffed?

If we did, it was not for lack of effort on Joey's part! :lol

[TDfan2007]

all of Tim's misses are short. That's not a good sign.

[peskypesky]

bumbling offense on both ends

[Thomas82]

About time Tim got a call!!

[Solid D]

The Spurs going to Tim inside is only good if Timmy goes quick with his moves. If not, stagnation city and the Spurs will drop this game.

[anonoftheinternets]

This game has had a disgusting amount of whistles on stupid off-ball shit. Btw the Spurs winning this game means nothing other than 51 on the W column instead of 50. They're still executing poorly at times and giving inconsistent effort. Oh and Tim still looks bad out there. This is depressing...

i think they look good enuf to have a chance of gettin out of the first round. Which is over achieving considering this season.

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

[Libri]

Tim, haha

[Thomas82]

Timmmayyyy!!!

[peskypesky]

SPurs up 7

[Crookshanks]

They need to run the clock on every possession - the clock is our friend right now.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck ref took a while to call that one

[peskypesky]

we got this

[Thomas82]

That 10th rebound is elusive for Tim tonight.

[anonoftheinternets]

lol this game has been comedy gold.

[spursfan1000]

Hmm I don't see pop.

[Thomas82]

Let's go D!!!

[Crookshanks]

Go Mavs - this is one of the ONLY times I'll cheer for them to win. They're up 10 right now.

[peskypesky]

refs obviously reluctant to call a foul on Jazz

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peskypesky]

no LAYUPS!!

[spursfan1000]

And 1 parker!

[Crookshanks]

Woo-Hoo Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now make your free throw!!!!

[peskypesky]

spurs up by 6

[Thomas82]

T.P.!!! And 1!!

[TDfan2007]

Tony is the most amazing finisher for his size that I've ever seen. Amazing.

[Solid D]

Wow, what a drive and finish by Parker!!! Great clearout.

[Spursmania]

Go Mavs - this is one of the ONLY times I'll cheer for them to win. They're up 10 right now.


So, we want Mavs to beat NO?

[peskypesky]

Tony!!!!!!!!!!

[peskypesky]

Tony is the most amazing finisher for his size that I've ever seen. Amazing.

definitely one of the best ever. but did you ever see AI in his prime? jesus....

[Biggems]

minimal contact, about time we get a tick tack call.

[Solid D]

I'm glad they aren't forcing hub and spoke offense right now. This may come down to TP v DW.

[kace]

tony is starting to have more fouls in his favor lately. really good thing to make him even harder to defend.

[Biggems]

So, we want Mavs to beat NO?

yes...

we want GS to beat Houston too.

we want Portland to lose.

If we win that puts us back in the 3 seed.

[Thomas82]

tony is starting to have more fouls in his favor lately. really good thing to make him even harder to defend.

Good, and if he ever gets his 3-pointer to 40% or so, he will be unguardable.

[peskypesky]

make this ft, Tony!

[Mavs<Spurs]

So, we want Mavs to beat NO?

yes. That way the Hornets don't catch us and we already know that the Mavs can't catch us.

But the Mavs lead has dwindled to 4 points with under a minute left in the game.

:flag:

[Crookshanks]

So, we want Mavs to beat NO?

Yeah - cuz they're right on our tail!

[Libri]

Tp!

[peskypesky]

Good, and if he ever gets his 3-pointer to 40% or so, he will be unguardable.

true that

[Spursmania]

TP just showed the Jazz how to end a game!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Crookshanks]

We got this, we got this...keep up the pressure

[peskypesky]

Spurs up 9

[Thomas82]

We got this!!!

[peskypesky]

Spurs with the trick shots tonight

[spursparker9]

go spurs

[Solid D]

The basket angels are working overtime for the Spurs tonight!

[justinandimcool]

The radio call makes it sound like the Spurs are playing GREAT defense. I wish I could see it.

[Crookshanks]

Oh yeah Gooden!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Gooden!!!!

Manu liked it

[peskypesky]

Basket angels>corrupt refs

[Libri]

its over

[Crookshanks]

Spurs Win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Boozer and Kirilenko shot terribly this game.

:flag:

[peskypesky]

Too Gooden!

[spursfan1000]

Damn I feel sorry for Hill, he dosent just deserve 24 seconds...

[Crookshanks]

Thank you Tony - you were the man tonight! And lots of help from Gooden and Mason also.

[peskypesky]

Damn I feel sorry for Hill, he dosent just deserve 24 seconds...

I agree.

[Trainwreck2100]

oh crap

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm sure Marcus Williams can move Boozer like that..

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck

[spursfan1000]

Fuck.

[Crookshanks]

This is crap! There's no way that was a loose ball foul. DAMN refs!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Spursmania]

That was a terrible call-I'm going to throw up!

[Spurs Brazil]

I'm sure Marcus Williams can move Boozer like that..

Worst refs of the year

[Libri]

Tony and Tim back in

[Solid D]

Fantastic quarter by Parker. Excellent offense by Gooden.

Oh wow. I can't believe the pushoff call on Marcus Williams. That rebound wasn't even reachable by Boozer.

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL @ some of these whiners tonight..this was a good win..considering the amount of horrible calls in Utah's favor, and the uncharacteristically bad and unforced turnovers we had, this was a solid win..

[peskypesky]

Joey Crawford strikes again!

[Spursmania]

It's shit like that that makes you think officiating is rigged.

[Crookshanks]

Timmy and Tony have to come back in because of the crooked refs. Man that sucks for Marcus Williams - and he didn't even commit a foul.

[Biggems]

Udoka should have either taken it at the basket to score or passed it to Mason when he dribbled it out.

[spursfan1000]

It isnt Marcus Williams fault...there was no foul.

[Thomas82]

damn i feel sorry for hill, he dosent just deserve 24 seconds...

+1

[Duncan2177]

The refs are retarded.

[Crookshanks]

Mavs win!

[Pentagruel]

My God. Fool pulled his stars way to fucking early.

[Budkin]

Fucking awesome win... despite Joey Got Damn Crawford!

Oops I mean... it would be awesome if we win... only following the game thread! I take it back! :lol

[Biggems]

Joey Crawford strikes again!

the black referee called that foul on Williams....not Crawford.

[peskypesky]

It's shit like that that makes you think officiating is rigged.

it definitely is when CERTAIN refs are on the floor

[peskypesky]

the black referee called that foul on Williams....not Crawford.

they work together

[Crookshanks]

Okay Finley - earn your pay

[Biggems]

In fact, the last 3 critical whistles in favor of the Spurs have been courtesy of Crawford.

[Crookshanks]

that clock on the TV says 59.6

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job Finley

[TampaDude]

Finley with the clutch FTs...Spurs got this.

[Horse]

At least Finley is dependable from the line.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Finely at the free throw line.

:flag:

[Spursmania]

It isnt Marcus Williams fault...there was no foul.

Poor Marcus, what a way to get your confidence shattered.

[Crookshanks]

Man - this is ridiculous! The Spurs should be in the showers already!

[Spurs Brazil]

TP with 31pts

[Spursmania]

TP with 31pts

:wow:wow

[TampaDude]

TP goes 2 for 2 from the stripe...wow! :lol

[024]

when i saw marcus williams, i thought george hill had a growth spurt and got uglier.

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop is mad

[Solid D]

Pop is reading the Spurs the riot act for letting D-Williams to go to the basket so easily.

[Spurs Brazil]

Wtf

[alchemist]

Pop going small is killing them big time.

[TampaDude]

Draggggggggggin it out...

[Crookshanks]

Play keep away with the ball...
well crap - they didn't even take one second off the clock

[peskypesky]

Spurs looking for a way to blow this?

[Biggems]

why didnt finley just turn and shoot the ball?
