Is it too early for Utah to consider tanking?

[manu_maniac]

Is it too early for Utah to consider tanking?

It seems like that's what they're already doing (1-3). I say a loss today confirms it.

[SamoanTD]

It seems like that's what they're already doing (1-3). I say a loss today confirms it.
so what your saying is they are going to tank lol :lol

[lefty]

It seems like that's what they're already doing (1-3). I say a loss today confirms it.
Yeah we're not good enough to beat the Jazz :lol

[LOL@MavsFan]

It seems like that's what they're already doing (1-3). I say a loss today confirms it.

Yeah b/c no team in NBA has ever come back from a 1-3 hole to make the playoffs, right?:rolleyes

[JR3]

I'll be there tonight! upper level center court on the side where the jazz logo looks upside down! =)

[angelbelow]

should be a great game, i don't have cable and LP will be blacked out. I hope TNT online lets us watch it for free or else i might be forced to watch the shitty streams.

[Morg1411]

:flag::flag::flag::flag:

[NRHector]

Alright Spurs let's do this :flag:

[HarlemHeat37]

Williams easily has the best crossover in the NBA IMO..it's just disgusting..

[benefactor]

I'm actually going to be at home for this one for a change.

Big back to back here. This will be a nice early season test for our team. I don't care if we lose both games...I just want to see a good effort and good defense.

[quentin_compson]

Man, still 3 hours till tipoff. I hope I manage to stay awake. :wakeup

[SamoanTD]

damn been itching to watch some spurs ball that break felt like the preseason lol

[ManuTP9]

Go spurs!! i hope i dont fall asleep in the 4th Q.

[ivanfromwestwood]

is it on local tv?

[SamoanTD]

is it on local tv?
its on TNT the late game.

[balli]

Man, still 3 hours till tipoff. I hope I manage to stay awake. :wakeup

No kidding. I might just nap through the Cavs game.

[SamoanTD]

No kidding. I might just nap through the Cavs game.
I want chicago to beat the shit out of the cavs lol

[spurtilldeath]

Lets go spurs...make it 3-1 tonight

[DPG21920]

Millsap is a they type of guy that usually gives the Spurs trouble. They have to focus on him. AK-47 is playing pretty well right now, so he can cause some problems.

[bigdog]

Why is this not stickied?

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

SMASH THE JAZZ! :smokin

its on tv here in Australia

[SpursFanATL]

Yeah, these west coast game times suck on the east coast. And, let's hope the first game doesn't run too long, cutting off the beginning of the game.

[JustinJDW]

This game is going to have some great matchups!

Tony Parker vs. Deron Williams
Richard Jefferson vs. Andrei Kirilenko
Tim Duncan vs. Carlos Boozer
Matt Bonner vs. Mehmet Okur (Both outside shooting big man)

Go Spurs Go! :downspin:

[quentin_compson]

Yeah, these west coast game times suck on the east coast.

Believe me, they suck much worse over here in Europe, where it is 2.30 am right now.

[NRHector]

Yeah, these west coast game times suck on the east coast. And, let's hope the first game doesn't run too long, cutting off the beginning of the game.no shit, I have to wake up at 5 a.m.

[NRHector]

Believe me, they suck much worse over here in Europe, where it is 2.30 am right now.:wow

[lefty]

East coast guy here

But I lived in Europe, and it was worse

[Riverwalkman]

Go Spurs!

DeJuan Blair will outperform Millsap.

[mVp]

Gameday, finally!

Let's get some :flag:

[ivanfromwestwood]

ok ill be the first to ask. can someone pm me a link please. dont have cable tonight.

[SpursFanATL]

Believe me, they suck much worse over here in Europe, where it is 2.30 am right now.

Yeah, that sucks. That's dedication right there!

[Bender]

Yeah, these west coast game times suck on the east coast. And, let's hope the first game doesn't run too long, cutting off the beginning of the game.when the Spurs are the late game on TNT, we always miss a chunk of the first quarter.

this should be stickied, and the Kings blog unstickied. And there's other people starting more Jazz blogs...

who's in charge here :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

Hopefully Okur doesn't get off tonight..he torched Bonner last year for 3 quarters until Bowen completely shit on him in the 4th..

[Riverwalkman]

I saw KBP...

[Blackjack]

Somebody grab a rebound! -- It's a Jazz game. Consider it a pre-emptive strike. :hat --

[Danny.Zhu]

Go Spurs Go!

[symple19]

Hope the Spurs get it done tonight

[Spursmania]

Believe me, they suck much worse over here in Europe, where it is 2.30 am right now.
:wow:wow:wow

[Spursmania]

It's been such a long 4 days. Finally, get to see our Spurs play! I'm going to grab a couple beers and get real comfortable.:smokin

:flag:

[Blackjack]

This should be interesting..

Always Sunny and Bill Schoenings pregame simultaneously.

[bigdog]

[ManuTP9]

[Interrohater]

Pin This!

:lol dude your avatar is hilarious

[Bender]

if the cavs go to OT I'll be pissed

[Riverwalkman]

if the cavs go to OT I'll be pissed
If Cavs and Bulls play OT, will Spurs game be put off? I didn't think it will in regular season.

[Bender]

yes, it always happens

[mookie2001]

Yeah, these west coast game times suck on the east coast. And, let's hope the first game doesn't run too long, cutting off the beginning of the game.
rofl yeah the sun sure does rise in the east

[SpursFanATL]

They will not wait for the first game to end if it goes to OT.

[Bender]

huh? I don't think they will cut away from the King just to go to the spurs

[timtonymanu]

with the way the bulls/cavs game is going, i think we'll see a little of the spurs game cut.

[SpursFanATL]

huh? I don't think they will cut away from the King just to go to the spurs

No, I mean the Spurs game will start but we will all still be watching the Cavs game.

[Bender]

maybe they will drag out the last one minute of game time, with a foul / FT battle and make the last minute last 10 minutes.

[spursfan1000]

Will this game be on any spurs channels like kens 5, southwest sports or anything because I dont think cavs game will be over when spurs game starts

[Bender]

No, I mean the Spurs game will start but we will all still be watching the Cavs game.
ok then we agree. I've seen it happen many times.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

If cavs go overtime they will broadcast the overtime until its over.
so they better fcuking not go overtime...i am cheering on whoever having the lead now

[Bender]

bulls need to pull ahead and put it away

[quentin_compson]

Brad Miller is a great passing big man.

[lennyalderette]

god it felt like a mini offseason!!! come on spurs!!!! i wonder what they worked on?

[mookie2001]

ok then we agree. I've seen it happen many times.
yes many many many times since the first ever ncaa tournament and nba doubleheaders were televised


one of these chodes will start a "aww the games running long thread" in the next few minutes

[lennyalderette]

If cavs go overtime they will broadcast the overtime until its over.
so they better fcuking not go overtime...i am cheering on whoever having the lead now
iwas thinking the samething:sleep

[Whisky Dog]

Must. Win. Game.

[mookie2001]

If cavs go overtime they will broadcast the overtime until its over.
so they better fcuking not go overtime...i am cheering on whoever having the lead now:sleep

[Whisky Dog]

I took a nap and overslept then just woke up thinking I missed the game only to realize I woke up on cue for gametime.

Goddd bless mountain time zone

[bigdog]

I hate when Spurs play late games. They always end up cutting into the beginning of the Spurs game. Oh well. Go Bulls!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

OMFG the spurs game is about to start

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

yes!! fcuking bulls...kill the cavs now

[Spursmania]

Damn foul! I want this game to end.

[lennyalderette]

[duncan228]

[Spursmania]

[timtonymanu]

[bigdog]

I swear if this goes to overtime, I'm going to throw my beer at the tv.

[lennyalderette]

[mookie2001]

I swear if this goes to overtime, I'm going to throw my beer at the tv.

[completely deck]

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Had a hard drive die on me.

[lennyalderette]

god someone win and kill miller at the same time reggie that is

[bigdog]

Hmm, weird. The ticker at the bottom said that the spurs game tips off at 10:50 PM/ET.

[SpursFanATL]

10:50 tipoff, according to the bottom of the screen.

[Libri]

Spurs game hasn't started yet.

[spursfan1000]

This refs are clearly on Cavs side

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

YES !! its just a 1 point game meaning a basket for cavs or not its gonna be over!

[lennyalderette]

Fuck you lebron!!!!

[ManuTP9]

Lebrons time needs to hurry up! i dont want this in OT

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i thought the refs can reviewed the play??? the ball hit the rim,its bulls ball??!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bulls win

[Spursmania]

Game Over! Now, if Miller would just shut the fuck up.

[bigdog]

LOL LeBron

[TIMMYD!]

Miller is a Laker cock sucker.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol lebron lost the ball going up just like arenas last night...choked

[quentin_compson]

I can't believe LeBron didn't get this call. He usually gets those. Well, all the better for us.

[Libri]

uh oh

Spurs game is about to start.

[Bender]

woooo! bulls

[Ice009]

LOL Reggie Miller is fucking idiot. I knew he would say that it's off of Noah. What a fucking loser. Man the NBA is so biased. I really start to wonder if ESPN tells their commentators to never give anyone other than Kobe, Lebron, Wade the benefit of the doubt.

[lennyalderette]

yeah!!!!!!!now we have to play good

[Libri]

just in time

[TIMMYD!]

Tip-off! Lets get this shit started.

[TIMMYD!]

Rj! For 3

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

jeffersonn 333

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bonner rebounded??? lol...j/k ...nice 3 by RJ

[Libri]

RJ looked like Bruce.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Damn DW

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Wow, williams

[rayray2k8]

about fucking time.

[spursfan1000]

Nice to see RJ to make a 3 to start the game

[Spursmania]

Parker missing 2 lay-ups.

[Ice009]

What shit defense by TP as usual. He needs to work on his defense one off season.

[Riverwalkman]

In China the stream is a little bit later, so I decide not to watch this thread.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

ty...TP

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Nice floater there by TP

[TIMMYD!]

our defense sucks

[Spursmania]

Bad D there.

[quentin_compson]

Bonner just can't grab a board. :lol

[dbestpro]

Bonner and Finley on the floor makes it look like we are playing 3 on 5 on defense.

[EmptyMan]

Anyone have the TNT link where you get to watch the 4 cams during the entire game!?

[TIMMYD!]

Bonner hit a 3

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Bonner clutch shot 3

[Libri]

boos for Boozer

[balli]

:smokin Bonner usually kills it vs. Jazz.

And the fans booing Booze.

[TIMMYD!]

Timmy!

[symple19]

Timmy!

[Spursmania]

:smokin Bonner usually kills it vs. Jazz. Gotta love his first shot missing.

And the fans booing Booze.

What's up with that. All that hate for Boozer. I guess they know he's leaving in February.:lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[TIMMYD!]

Giiiiinnnnnooooooobbiiiilllllliiiiiiii!

[Spursmania]

Manu!

[Libri]

Batman coming in.

[dbestpro]

Is Finley even out there?

[TIMMYD!]

RJ with the left

[Spursmania]

RJ being aggressive.

[balli]

Good call.

[spursfan1000]

I'm liking the Spurs offence but I don't like the defense at all.

[duncan228]

Anyone have the TNT link where you get to watch the 4 cams during the entire game!?

I didn't see it with a quick look. I'm not sure how often they do it during the regular season. It might be just 'big' games until the Playoffs.

[symple19]

get bonner outta there

[lennyalderette]

damn did you guys notice finley passing up that open three?

[spursfan1000]

lol why do people say whats happening in the game...

[Spursmania]

Dice coming in for Bonner!

[TIMMYD!]

2 Blocks from Tim

[jag]

No matter how many 3's he hits....he will always be Matt effin' Bonner

[timtonymanu]

Cmon Tim!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

manu looked like a bat at that replay lol j/k

[symple19]

Boooooooooooooooooooooooo

zer

Timmy needs to do a better job getting that shot off

[spursfan1000]

Spurs need to pick up there defense if they have any hopes of winning this game.

[quentin_compson]

Boozer is actually playing some D. :downspin:

[Spursmania]

This is going to be a tough game. Jazz are desperate for a win.

[lennyalderette]

i hope boozer makes timmy aggresive, they all need to play more aggresive

[ducks]

duncan need to dunk the ball
pussy

[spursfan09]

Timmy... not jumping. :(

[dbestpro]

Looks like the big 5 has so many good players that no one knows who should take the shot.

[bigdog]

I want to see Tim punish the Jazz frontline down low. He's playing soft to start the game. GO SPURS!

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Hey whats the deal with Kirilenko's hair?

[HarlemHeat37]

I love how Timmy looks on D this year..he still looks like he isn't trying on offense though..even the Bulls game, he barely broke a sweat..

[TIMMYD!]

Tim with revenge on Boozer.

[Spursmania]

Hey whats the deal with Kirilenko's hair?

No shit. Looks weird as hell. Probably some new euro look.:lol

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan with another block..quickness is definitely paying off so far this year..

[Riverwalkman]

Timmy blocked by Boozer twice, is that the defect of loosing weight?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh shit look at pop

[Spursmania]

Who's Pop pissed at?

[dbestpro]

Pops pissed. Needs to yell at McDeyes and Parker.

[bigdog]

The Spurs defense is horrible right now. They're playing so far off of the offensive players. They're getting easy shots.

[Ice009]

Spurs look like shit.

Thanks for that great tone that the starters have set out there.

[TIMMYD!]

2 blocks for Tim already.

[symple19]

Hey whats the deal with Kirilenko's hair?

It's retarded. He may poke somebodies eye out

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

we are chasing people around instead of defending them thats why pop is furious

[lefty]

Parker WTF

Shoot the fucking ball !!!!!!!!

[quentin_compson]

We're too slow at coming back and too slow rotating defensively. Pop is mad.

[timtonymanu]

its the bulls game all over again.

[dbestpro]

Spurs look like shit.

Thanks for that great tone that the starters have set out there.

Bingo, need to change up McDeyes and Mason for Finley and Bonner. Will give us the defense we need at the start of the game.

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan has 5 boards already. Spurs need to get fired up.

[spurspokesman]

We're too slow at coming back and too slow rotating defensively. Pop is mad.
We look horrible. Tim is soft as a twinky right now. Wow. Let's go spurs

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol manu what a shot

[Riverwalkman]

resting too much = b2b

[Austin_Toros]

kerr seems to think that jefferson takes too many 3 pointers

[TIMMYD!]

Our Defense Sucks

[HarlemHeat37]

I really hate Manu's step-back 3s, especially since he doesn't have his rhythm yet..they're just horrible shots..

some scrub just threw up an off-balanced floater and it somehow went in..

now Timmy is launching a bad shot..horrible start..

[dbestpro]

Bad call.

[bigdog]

Ok that was a bullshit call on Dyess.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

RJ FCCCCCCUK thats a fcuking rookie for god sake

[Libri]

Tim shooting long jumpers. :bang

[Spursmania]

4 days of rust, rust and more rust...

[timtonymanu]

wake up guys!

[Ice009]

Spurs playing soft and taking 3 pointers. bad combo that one.

[quentin_compson]

Too many midrange jumpers and threes.

[dbestpro]

Need to attack basket and stop with the jump shots.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

sighhhhhhhhhh

[HarlemHeat37]

McDyess' D looks horrible so far this season..we have a lot of players that need some rhythm..

[Austin_Toros]

great pass RJ

[timtonymanu]

everyone's getting owned on D.

[Spursmania]

Super nice play by RJ and Hill.

[Ice009]

WOW Antonio got fucking schooled by Okur of all people.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

diceee!!!???!WTF?!

[symple19]

WTF - a piss poor effort from the Spurs so far

[Libri]

Okur is punishing the Spurs.

[hoopdreams11]

How is Okur killing us

[Spursmania]

Since when does Okur get in our lane for easy lay ins? And now a dunk!!! WTF?

[Ice009]

WOW get Antonio OFF. he is bad.

[SpursFanATL]

I thought the "focus of the preseason" was defense. This is total bullshit.

[Death In June]

It's painfully obvious this team is at a size disadvantage.

[Danny.Zhu]

No D...

[dbestpro]

McD looks bad. Need to play Blair.

[timtonymanu]

too much rest. jazz need redemption. bad situation for us.

[Quiet Strength]

Mcdyess looks very bad on defense

[Austin_Toros]

did blair yell 'and 1'
lol

[Ice009]

Spurs need some balls. I am still for bringing in SJAX. All these guys are nice guys. We need someone with balls.

[Spursmania]

Blair once again making a difference.

[lefty]

Okur posting Dice

?????????????


Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh

[Ice009]

NOW that boy is tough. Great play DeJaun.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

whoever that guy is killing the spurs

[hoopdreams11]

RJ is getting killed on D

[Austin_Toros]

this looks ugly with out TOs

[024]

lol manu. that was pretty bad.

[bigdog]

What the hell was Ginobili doing?

[timtonymanu]

our so called perimeter defender cant guard a fuckin rookie.

[slick'81]

who the fck is this matthew kid damn utah is taking it to our ass right now

[Quiet Strength]

haha great shot manu

[TIMMYD!]

Ginobili one hand

[lefty]

Manuuuuuuuuuuu

[Spursmania]

Batman using his wings!

[Austin_Toros]

blair - that's great hustle for the young gun

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

ty blair

[dbestpro]

Pop is going to rest Duncan and Parker the rest of the way and play for tomorrow's game.

[kbrury]

RJ is getting killed on D

whole team actually.

[Ice009]

DeJuan Blair is fucking awesome. TOUGH, TOUGH PLAY. THAT IS WHAT I AM AFTER.

[TIMMYD!]

For how bad we're doing were only down 10

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Batman using his wings!
:lol

[TimDunkem]

Gave up 32 in the first...

[HarlemHeat37]

It's amazing how a no-name young perimeter player can spark a team simply by using his athleticism going to the basket..if only we had a guy like that..

[Ice009]

SOFT BITCH PLAY FROM BONNER, FINLEY AND McDyess is not what we need. Those guys need to step it up.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

RJ need to stop taking those threes he is a slasher not a spot up shooter :/

[quentin_compson]

Ugly performance so far. Well, still a lot of ball to be played.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan's defense was very good in the 1st quarter..too bad nobody else wanted to help out..

[bigdog]

Okur is killing McDyess down low. Okur should NEVER be getting anything in the post. It's mind-boggling that Okur made it looks easy down low against our frontline.

[dbestpro]

McD has hops but for some reason is looking like another Kurt Thomas.

[spursfan09]

Too long of a rest?

[coyotes_geek]

Showing some energy and some movement this quarter would be nice.

[kbrury]

It's amazing how a no-name young perimeter player can spark a team simply by using his athleticism going to the basket..if only we had a guy like that..

We have Bogans.....:elephant
