Never forget the dreaded 90's. :ihit Screw the Jazz. :flag:

Welp, up in Utah we're never gonna forget the dreaded 2000's. So I'm really looking forward to the 2010-2020 era as I anticipate the loss of Timmy putting us back on top for awhile. Then again, we might could both suck. Which I guess would be better than us getting curb stomped every time we play you.

As far as tonight goes, we're a really, really, really talented team that for whatever reason, just doesn't give a flying fuck. So if we show up tonight, I think we win easily. Big damn if right there though and I'm not confident.

[HarlemHeat37]

Utah hasn't won in San Antonio since '99 IIRC..pretty ridiculous..

since Duncan's health is game-to-game, I'm guessing the real Tim shows up tonight..

[duncan228]

Utah hasn't won in San Antonio since '99 IIRC..pretty ridiculous..

22 games...


They are 0-15 all-time at AT&T Center and last won in San Antonio on Feb. 28, 1999, a Midwest Division game at the Alamodome.


The Jazz have dropped 19 consecutive regular-season games in San Antonio, plus three games in the 2007 Western Conference finals.

[boutons_deux]

Same was true of Celts@SA in Duncan era, but Paul Pierce broke that losing record.

[spurtilldeath]

When exactly did this kicking in the face happen?

[duncan228]

More on Duncan and his knees (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/courtside/2009/04/more-on-duncan.html)
By Jeff McDonald

Sometimes news travels slowly here at Spurs Central. Talked to a Spurs staffer before tonight's game against Utah.

He said Tim Duncan banged knees with another player during the win at Oklahoma City on Tuesday night, which is part of the reason Duncan played so gingerly the next night against Portland.

Duncan, apparently, is feeling pretty good, and might ditch the knee pads tonight. We shall see.

[Jobbs]

wooo Spurs feed

[spursfan1000]

GO SPURS GO! Its important that we win tonight and Blazers lose to Lakers tonight.

[Thomas82]

Remember the Elbow.

http://www.makingpages.org/hoops/maloneelbowsrobinson.jpg

Who can forget the elbow? I still remember how angry David Robinson's father was that none of his teammates stood up for him after that happened.

[Thomas82]

go spurs go! Its important that we win tonight and blazers lose to lakers tonight.

I like what im seeing so far. Parker is doin great, Mason and Bonner hitting their jumpshots and we are rebounding the ball. :flag:

[justinandimcool]

Is Tim getting up and down the floor okay?

[Death In June]

Bonner, so useless.

[mrsmaalox]

Okur scares me

[spursfan1000]

They are stealing the ball too much...regular spurs game i guess.

[duncan228]

Is Tim getting up and down the floor okay?

So far he looks good. Moving well, seems to have energy.

[celldweller]

Please God! Talk to Pop about benching Bonner! Please. :worthy:

[justinandimcool]

So far he looks good. Moving well, seems to have energy.

:toast that's what I wanna hear, and what needs to consistently happen.

[ElNono]

TP made his free throws... we have a chance...

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck 2nd on TP

[Yuixafun]

I get excited after Timmy makes a powerful move through Boozer to score...

only to have the next two possessions tipped and turned over for 4 points.


The second one, Bonner's pass is deflected, and he throws his hands up meanwhile; Finley hustles to slow the 2 on 1 fast break and actually gets a hand on the ball.. except Bonner had stopped running. :bang

[Libri]

Finley dunk

[cnyc3]

Tim looks very mobile!! :)

Gooden in now for bonner

[sonic21]

You know the Jazz keep track of deflected balls as part of their defensive stats... they have a contest to see who can get the most.

[Spurs Brazil]

Uatah will win. Crawford....

[Death In June]

So, pop still hasn't seen the light, with three games left in the reg season...

[Thomas82]

Let's go Drew!!!

[Libri]

Bonner in for KT

[Spurs Brazil]

Crawford with a terrible job again

[balli]

Quit bitching Sean, Thomas was sliding all the way.

[spursfan1000]

Turnover Jazz

[ElNono]

How do we manage to end up with Bonner taking a contested two at the end of the quarter? I guess it's not his fault. Mason as a PG sucks.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 24-21 after one

[Thomas82]

Crawford with a terrible job again

As always!! There is no reason why he shouldn't be banned from reffing Spurs games.

[Yuixafun]

Mason with the ball in his hands to end a quarter is always good for a laugh, unless it's in the 4th, then its good for a win.

[ElNono]

Good thing Bruce has been hitting most of his treys, and we played decent defense for stretches there...

[Chieflion]

At the expense of Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen gets significant playing time.

[Libri]

Tony j

[Death In June]

A Gooden, Duncan, Ian, Sheed front court will be good next year.

[Spurs Brazil]

Gooden!

[cnyc3]

nice move drew!

[spursfan1000]

Charge on Milsap, solid play Gooden, first makes a easy shot then gets a offensive foul.

[Chieflion]

A Gooden, Duncan, Ian, Sheed front court will be good next year.
Keep dreaming.

[Spurs Brazil]

Gooden again!

[spursfan1000]

Wow Gooden makes a shot again.

[Libri]

Ime 2

[balli]

As always!! There is no reason why he shouldn't be banned from reffing Spurs games.

Except for the fact that he just called a charge on Millsap. And it was a charge. That Thomas foul was a foul too. You can't say it wasn't just because Joey Crawford and the Spurs have history.

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime!!!!!!!

[spursfan1000]

:lolak47 misses a layup without hittin rim

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 32-23

Jazz time out

[024]

is it just me or does gooden set poor screens? i don't think he even plants his feet before rolling to the basket.

[Yuixafun]

Ime with some razzle dazzle. Just barely.

[spursfan1000]

Spurs are on all cylinders today. :flag:

[anonoftheinternets]

:wow why does gooden not even set one pick properly? he comes half way runs off,and then calls for the ball like a retard everytime. He never even sets one pick properly

[anonoftheinternets]

lol 24 said the same thing ...... it is annoying me so muhc, same thing over and over again, not one pick is proper .....

[Yuixafun]

KT needs to impart some screen setting knowledge to Gooden.

[sonic21]

:lolak47 misses a layup without hittin rim

and he cried "and1" :lol

[Death In June]

Best fans in the NBA? Mmm, no.

[spursfan1000]

:wow why does gooden not even set one pick properly? he comes half way runs off,and then calls for the ball like a retard everytime. He never even sets one pick properly


Maybe because if he gets the ball he will score.

[balli]

:wow why does gooden not even set one pick properly?
Because he knows Carlos Boozer is guarding the p & r and he can get away with it?

[Pentagruel]

:wow why does gooden not even set one pick properly? he comes half way runs off,and then calls for the ball like a retard everytime. He never even sets one pick properly


Seriously hah. Ime actually bailed out that play there cause Gooden couldn't set a proper pick.

[Libri]

Spurs were on a 10-0 run

[RobSM64]

[spursfan1000]

Joe Crawford...I guess he dosent hate the spurs anymore.

[Horse]

Tony is outstanding!

[anonoftheinternets]

Because he knows Carlos Boozer is guarding the p & r and he can get away with it?

lol boozer looks like he jus wants out ...and is jus playing for the year to end, i get the same feelin with gooden, like hes playin for a contract. Same hting with both those guys. :lol dont blame them, but its like Team SA and gooden, Team Utah and Boozer. Also what happnd to AK47? He used to be good.

[024]

oh shit parker arguing with finley. parker is going to get benched.

[Death In June]

Tony being a dick. But it's his team right now, so that's cool to see.

Having a large lead makes me kind of nervous... but I'll take it.

oh shit parker arguing with finley. parker is going to get benched.

:lmao

[anonoftheinternets]

Having a large lead makes me kind of nervous... but I'll take it.

we jus need a lead so big, that even when the other team goes on their run, we will win :p:

[spursfan1000]

I wish I was at Spurs game, 65,000 prizes!

[timtonymanu]

oh shit parker arguing with finley. parker is going to get benched.

Pop: Oh Tony ... you did NOT just do that.

[sonic21]

oh shit parker arguing with finley. parker is going to get benched.

good call

[kace]

oh shit parker arguing with finley. parker is going to get benched.

winner !

[spursfan1000]

Nice matchup with Bruce on Dwill.

[ElNono]

Joey doing what he does... :rolleyes

[Ice009]

Come on Pop don't be a fucking retard. GET TP BACK IN NOW before we lose the lead like the Portland game.

DO NOT BE A RETARD HERE POP.

[spursfan1000]

Nice wacky bounce for Bowen...as sean Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_ says.

[spursfan1000]

^ wtf is that

[timtonymanu]

Hill needs to get some fucking playing time already.

I sometimes wish we could trade him. He doesnt deserve the scrub minutes he's getting.

[Death In June]

Those are some ticky tack calls.

[sonic21]

^ wtf is that
:lmao

[spursfan1000]

The lead is back to 9...after it was 15

[Ice009]

Gooden is so cheap sometimes. Silly fouls and doesn't set screens. It's so frustrating watching him. He can be very good.

[Spurs Brazil]

Jazz cut to 9

[Death In June]

Well, it wouldn't be a spurs game without gaining and losing large leads.

[spursfan1000]

:lmao

Really I don't know why it said that shit...

[spursfan1000]

Lead to 7..

[duncan228]

^ wtf is that

Elliott has 2 t's.

[spursfan1000]

Nice pull back jumper by Parker.

[sonic21]

Really I don't know why it said that shit...

it's happening when you don't write Elliott correctly

[Spurs Brazil]

TP layup, 16pts

[Spursmania]

Damn, we almost had that shot.

[Ice009]

Tony getting pissed of with everyone. Tim is the recipient this time.

[Spursmania]

^ wtf is that

Duncan228 told me about that too. Must spell Elliott wit 2 t's.:lol

[spursfan1000]

it's happening when you don't write Elliott correctly

For every word, or just Elliott


Testing Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_

[ElNono]

Defensive intensity down a bit, and too many turnovers, but it looks better than the Portland game so far...

[kace]

Tony: STFU and play like you're doing.

[Ice009]

This is the problem with the Spurs offense. They keep passing up good shots and end up with worse shots.

I think TP is getting pissed off setting people up and they are not taking the shot and instead ending up with a worse shot.

[anonoftheinternets]

Gooden is so cheap sometimes. Silly fouls and doesn't set screens. It's so frustrating watching him. He can be very good.

:depressedare u jus noticing it? he jus ruined a play, and went iso from the high post jus now. I think he is jus playing for his contract coz he knows pop keeps him on a short lease.

i dont blame him tho, im sure in his mind, he doesnt like being on the bench, he has been a starter his whole life, jus a bad fit for spurs.

[spursfan1000]

[Pentagruel]

Decent game so far. Just didn't like the turnovers in the first quarter much.

[anonoftheinternets]

i should start an ime udoka appreciation thread. hes been awesome

[timvp]

Well done so far. Just have to hope they don't run out of gas like they did against Portland.

No I am not just noticing it. I was just commenting on it.

Mason is an awful awful PG !!! :bang

[justinandimcool]

Is the defense really as good as the box score indicates?

[anonoftheinternets]

No I am not just noticing it. I was just commenting on it.


yea was wondeirng, coz so many ppl are high on gooden, but if you watch its pretty obv thers no cohesion. But I will take it, this late in teh season, without manu. We need everything.

Utah are missin layups, but hey im fine with that.

[Libri]

Gooden in for Bonner

[HarlemHeat37]

I think every one of Bonner's fouls tonight has been ridiculously stupid..

[Spurs Brazil]

4th on Bonner

[HarlemHeat37]

this is starting to look like the Portland game..

[Death In June]

Goddamn blackout.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan gets sandwiched with no call, and we allow a horrible fast break dunk..

[spursfan1000]

Seriously? no foul against Jazz?

[Spursmania]

Pop needed a to. That was pathetic.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck

[HarlemHeat37]

can we keep a lead? just for one game..just one..

[lefty]

Duncan not moving well

[024]

here comes a patented spurs third quarter lull.

[Spursmania]

This looks like deja vu. Hope they don't run out of steam.

[Mavs<Spurs]

this is starting to look like the Portland game..

yep.

Another lead shrinks!!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Jazz cut Spurs lead to 2, 57 to 55.

The difference about Portland and Jazz are that Jazz have only beat 1 .500 team on road... :flag:

[Thomas82]

That's all I'm asking!

[Spursmania]

Okur?? WTF?

[lefty]

Googoo !

[spursfan1000]

Drew Gooden gives us the lead again.

[Spurs Brazil]

We can't keep a fucking lead

PATHETIC

[balli]

Hell yes Utah!!! I got pissed and bailed a few minutes into the 2nd. This is an unexpectedly good development. For me.

[lefty]

I'm watching the game in a language I don't understand

[Spursmania]

TP can't knock FT's down.

[kace]

don't like what tim is doing. he seems slow.

[Death In June]

Since when does Tony suck at FTs? I remember when it was an automatic 2.

[spursfan1000]

Parker is 1/2 from FT...CMON MAKE BOTH!

[Mavs<Spurs]

The difference about Portland and Jazz are that Jazz have only beat 1 .500 team on road... :flag:

Thunder hadn't won a game on the road against +.500 team until they beat us twice.

Once again an easy shot for the Utah Jazz.

[Spursmania]

Did Gooden miss that rotation?

[Libri]

Ime in for Mason

[HarlemHeat37]

the shots we're taking are horrible..

Duncan taking a contested bank shot against a horrible defensive player..

running semi-contested screens for Mason the past few possessions..

[will_spurs]

Parker is 1/2 from FT...CMON MAKE BOTH!

He's at 6-8 so far for the game, pretty much in line with his season average (75% today vs 80% this season)

[lefty]

Fuck!

The Jazz are awful on the road this season !

We HAVE to beat them tonight

[SpursFan0728]

Td sucking until that foul

[spursfan1000]

Nice steal by Ime, Ime is doing good today, alot of people are dogging on him.

[TDfan2007]

Tim's decision making has been atrocious today.

[lefty]

Manu looks so frustrated ........

[HarlemHeat37]

nice move from Duncan to draw the foul..they can't stop him inside, stay aggressive..

same with Gooden, try to be smart and aggressive..

[Libri]

Imeee 3!

[Spursmania]

Nice assist from Gooden!

[spursfan1000]

IME for 3!!! thats his 3rd 3 I believe.

[HarlemHeat37]

beautiful pass from Gooden to some guy pretending to be Ime Udoka tonight for the 3..

[024]

good pass by gooden. could have taken the shot but passed it to udoka.

[Cherry]

Ime :)

[duncan228]

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.

[Spursmania]

Did you hear Timmy? He said, "Why don't you give me that call"? He looked pissed.
