11/19 - Spurs vs Jazz Game blog

[the crimson blur]

Hey what do you know, George Hill enters the game and we go on a run.

I am so happy we drafted him :lol

[45 bank shot]

please less finley and mason, more blair and hairston in 2nd half

[Libri]

Spurs showing some life at the end of the half.

[Admidave50]

Against a physical team such as the Jazz, we managed to get more rebounds in the 1st half (25 vs 18) and we got 4 blocks (2 from Theo).

[TimDunkem]

Hairston gives us instant energy. I hope to see more of him.

[Brazil]

please less finley and mason, more blair and hairston in 2nd half

:lol deja vu

last year it was less finley and bonner

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ratliff or Mcdyess+ Duncan= :)

Bonner+Finley+Mason= :(

[HarlemHeat37]

Hopefully the perimeter will be mostly Hill/RJ/Bogans/Hairston in the 2nd half(although Mason will have to get a few mins in at PG to give Hill rest), and hopefully some more Ratliff inside..

the defense has been significantly better with Ratliff inside..

[skervy]

Besides Manu and Tony, who is the 3rd inactive? Do we have a chance of seeing Ian or Marcus?

[Chieflion]

Besides Manu and Tony, who is the 3rd inactive? Do we have a chance of seeing Ian or Marcus?
Ian is with Parker and Ginobili. He does suck that bad. Knowing Pop, he might as well give Haislip the DNP-CDs already.

[TimDunkem]

Besides Manu and Tony, who is the 3rd inactive? Do we have a chance of seeing Ian or Marcus?

Marcus is the third inactive.

[Chomag]

Only time I want to see mason in is to get hill some rest. But for the 2, and 3 I hope we see hairston more as the replacment there to give RJ and Bogans a rest. More Theo would be nice as well.

[45 bank shot]

and hopefully dice can pick it up

[the crimson blur]

When Mason is running PG, I hope we just spam 4 down. That way, we won't have to rely on him handling the ball. If Mason is out there, I'd like to see Duncan with him to compensate.

[Spursox]

Agree more Haiston....Hey Pop! Fu*k it put in Ian....

[timvp]

This third quarter is big. Can't give up another 12-0 run or anything like that.

[HarlemHeat37]

that was horrible defense there..Jefferson gets blown by, Bogans isn't paying attention, Utah draws the foul by running into him..

now Finley comes in for Bogans, which will completely destroy the defense..

ugh, grab that fucking rebound Duncan..

[oligarchy]

yay! I was sitting here hoping for more Finley.

[hoopdreams11]

ahh hell Fin in this early

[Chieflion]

Bogans has 4 fouls, Pop took him out for a good reason.

[outmap]

Reasonable sub, Bogans with 4 personal foul.

It's Bogans for Finley, Jefferson for Hairston, and Hill for Mason.

[Spursox]

Why don't they show Eva in the stands anymore?

[HarlemHeat37]

Utah has no interior D, stop shooting fucking Js..

[TIMMYD!]

The great block by Ratliff oh my fucking god

[Chieflion]

We all love some Theo Ratliff!!!!!

[oligarchy]

Thank you. Please drive through.

[hoopdreams11]

That's what I'm talking about Theo

[Chieflion]

Thanks for the defensive 3 seconds, Boozer.

[Spurs Brazil]

Somebody have to step up on O

[oligarchy]

I hate free shit anyway

[TIMMYD!]

All finley has to do is hit FTs and he can't even do that.

[HarlemHeat37]

RJ needs to keep the offense going here, get inside..

[Spursox]

Finally...RJ with a nice jumper..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

If only Ratligg was 6 years younger :(

Anyway nice block

[Chieflion]

Fesenko is an idiot. Why does Sloan even play him anyway?

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill not playing well today, very poor decisions

[HarlemHeat37]

Fesenko is an idiot. Why does Sloan even play him anyway?

no OKur..

[Spursox]

Thats what im talking about! Drive that ball in ..RJ knows whats up!

[45 bank shot]

just can't get any closer

[Chieflion]

no OKur..
Millsap is beasting it out there. Kirilenko is better than Fesenko.

[loveforthegame]

What happened to Finley's ft shooting this season. He's usually money there.

[Chomag]

Why is finely out there all he is doing is adding a body. At least Hairston is bringing energy

[45 bank shot]

hairston please

[Spursox]

Man, we got some ugly people at the game....Show some honeys

[Danny.Zhu]

3 ball sucks so far!

[ZB 512]

what, the free throw attempts are even thus far? WTF, refs screwing the Spurs?

[Rorschach]

someone please pm me a link please

[HarlemHeat37]

Brewer is just out-hustling everybody on our team..

[td4mvp21]

Our interior defense is going to be shit if Tim never goes for blocks...

[Chieflion]

Shitty defense for two straight possessions.

[Spursox]

Sloppy D

[Ice009]

Down 8 Spurs looking bad, bad.

Where is Hairston?

[oligarchy]

what, the free throw attempts are even thus far? WTF, refs screwing the Spurs?

No kidding. How can they blame the refs later. Blasphemy.

[murpjf88]

this is fuckin nightmere

[HarlemHeat37]

perimeter D is awful with no Bogans there..

[Rorschach]

someone please pm me a link. :)

[Spurs Brazil]

Pathetic D

[loveforthegame]

Ugly, ugly.

[HarlemHeat37]

no energy, Duncan isn't dominating, none of our perimeter players are getting inside, perimeter D is beyond horrible right now..

[Spursox]

Hairston waiting to come in ...Finally

[TIMMYD!]

Pathetic D

I have a deep feeling that our offense will come through but that our defense will stay like this the rest of the season. :(

[hoopdreams11]

mathews making Fin look like he's standing still

[HarlemHeat37]

refs kicking in..

[Brazil]

is it an airball contest?

[TIMMYD!]

who would you rather have deron or tony?

[Chieflion]

Damn Williams is on fire.

[HarlemHeat37]

Williams is way too good..

[Spursox]

D Will is just Bad!

[oligarchy]

Tim looks like he is in slow motion

[loveforthegame]

We really should leave Williams open for some more 3s.

[Spurs Brazil]

Put Bogans back, D-Will is killing Hill

[Ice009]

Fuck it mason jr.

Fuck it hill.

[HarlemHeat37]

Utah has been using moving screens all game, and we've been getting called for fouls on them..

[loveforthegame]

Sweet. Mason is back in.

[loveforthegame]

Bogans and Hill both have 4 fouls.

[duncan228]

Free Throws:

Spurs: 7-13

Jazz: 8-12

[redzero]

Don't worry, Timmeh will score 30 in the fourth.

[Spursox]

Dice is the only one playing some decent D

[Fpoonsie]

These long rebounds are KILLING us.

[Death In June]

Man, our team is garbage. I haven't seen it this bad in a long, long time.

[Fpoonsie]

When is Parker expected to be back?

[timvp]

Man, this is turning into an instant replay from last night.

[45 bank shot]

look at finley, wandering around the court not even knowing what to do.......

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm really worried about this stretch with Mason/Finley playing D on the perimeter..

[timvp]

Parker usually destroys the Jazz in San Antonio. He's really missed in this matchup.

[45 bank shot]

can my day get any worse??

[Spurs Brazil]

We need to finish this quarter strong

Williams is on the bench now

[DesignatedT]

saw where tony averaged over 30 a game against dallas as well.... and hes missed them both times already this year

[oligarchy]

..they just need like 30 games to gel, no need to worry. I wouldn't be thinking lottery or maybe, just maybe, first round exit.

[HarlemHeat37]

wow, what a shot by Mason..hopefully that sparks him..

[Fpoonsie]

:wow

RMJ w/ another bucket.

[timvp]

Hairston providing a spark.

[Spursox]

Timmy...........

[Libri]

Alright, Spurs on a run.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great D

[Spursox]

Hairston making things happen!

[HarlemHeat37]

Hairston with the save, Duncan with the block..beautiful..

[oligarchy]

"Wasn't that Harris?"

[Fpoonsie]

Heads up play by Hairston!

[The Red Hood]

Malik is so fucking active. :lol

[DPG21920]

What a smart ass play by Malik.

[Admidave50]

Get the fucking lead, Go Spurs Go! We can really need this win

[Fpoonsie]

Rmj!

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes!

[Spursox]

Mason Jr...on fire!

[DPG21920]

Mason, find the stroke. Use the force.

[oligarchy]

ruh roh. did he find his shot?

[Chieflion]

They better fix the stream soon, I am missing out on the run.

[Libri]

Hairston providing a spark.

:tu

[timvp]

Props to RMJ. Hopefully he can snap out of this suckage.

[Capt Bringdown]

If the league ever kept stats on ill-timed, momentum/run destroying FG attempts, Finley would have to be one of the all time greats.

[Ice009]

Malik Hairston.

Great energy and play from Malik!

Roger will a couple of big shots.

[Brazil]

nice way to finish the quarter... let malik in pleeeeaaassseee

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice finish

Now we have to play with a lot of energy to start the 4th with TD on the bench

Keep Malik there

[45 bank shot]

good shit mason. damn i hate it when the spurs get my hopes up

[Spursox]

Great 3rd qtr ending....now leave Malik in there..POP!...but we all know he'll be riding the bench to start the 4th and will be forgotten

[HarlemHeat37]

Mason better have found his shot back, we desperately need it..

Hairston provided a nice spark there..active players are contagious..

[DesignatedT]

finally we have the first mason sighting of the season. shoot that ball with confidence... we all know you can make it mase.

[Admidave50]

RMJ is ALIVE...!

[45 bank shot]

They better fix the stream soon, I am missing out on the run.
i think it's back on

[TIMMYD!]

The things killing us right now are the 3s.

[peskypesky]

Tim Muthafucking Duncan!!!!

after 13 years, he's still by far the best player on the Spurs. major props.

[the crimson blur]

Please tell me Money Mase is back.

We need shooters. This team isn't going anywhere if we don't have guys who can punish off Duncan doubles and penetration. We need Mason to start warming up.

[45 bank shot]

Great 3rd qtr ending....now leave Malik in there..POP!...but we all know he'll be riding the bench to start the 4th and will be forgotten

will pop ever listen??:wow

[Brazil]

i think it's back on
not for me

[Chieflion]

i think it's back on
You don't know where I am watching this shit.

[Spursox]

C'mon Coyote get the fans involved!

[TIMMYD!]

Wow everyone loving RMJ but if it's a fluke everyone will say fuck him.

[murpjf88]

piss poor offensive possession

[timvp]

Horrible swing of momentum there :td

[Spursox]

Why is Bonner in there?

[Chomag]

Bonner just got destroyed

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner can't guard AK

[HarlemHeat37]

fuck..phantom foul..

[loveforthegame]

Let's see Masons shoot like this for a few games before declaring him back.

[Ice009]

FUCKING MATT PIECE OF SHIT BONNER

Just keep holding you fucking hands up Bonner. You fucking suck at defense.

[Brazil]

lol SA 11:38
24-second shotclock violaton turnover on Michael Finley

[DesignatedT]

nobody is "loving" RMJ. last time i checked were all spurs fans.. so if there scoring were happy.. no matter who it is.. im just not a fan of roger being point

[hoopdreams11]

Back off Kirlenko and let him shoot

[oligarchy]

dagger.

[timvp]

Hairston hurting the team offensively now.

[TIMMYD!]

RMJ hit a 3 let the praise come alive.

[HarlemHeat37]

Hairston is too passive right now..attack..

Mason's looking good..

[Chieflion]

lol SA 11:38
24-second shotclock violaton turnover on Michael Finley
How is there supposed to be a 24 second violation when only 22 seconds passed on the quarter.

[loveforthegame]

Glad to see Mason hitting some shots though. Hopefully this is the turnaround for him.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Spursox]

RMJ trying to get us back on track!

[Bartleby]

You can see the relief in Mason's expression after that shot went in.

[Admidave50]

RMB is really stepping up his game tonight, props

[oligarchy]

reject rejected

[Brazil]

How is there supposed to be a 24 second violation when only 22 seconds passed on the quarter.

exactly ! :downspin:

[Libri]

What was Finley doing?!

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Finley

[Ice009]

OMG FINLEY. FUCK THAT.

what a pathetic play from Finley.

[hoopdreams11]

Fin with the bad shot

[TIMMYD!]

Is anyone else mesmerized by my Lindsay Lohan sig? :jack

[HarlemHeat37]

why is Finley shooting off the dribble?..

[Spursox]

Where has this dude been?

[DesignatedT]

get bonner outttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt tttt that soft fuck

[Chieflion]

Finley is 0-6 from the field, played horrible D. Pop, take him out now. No excuses for that.

[timvp]

Spurs are lucky to be within 5 at this point.

[Spursox]

RJ was surrounded by all Jazz players for that put back...Everyone else running back

[oligarchy]

Spurs are lucky to be within 5 at this point.

You can say that again.

[Spursox]

Hairston needs the watch some "how to guard" tapes

[Spurs Brazil]

Rebs killing us again

[dude1394]

You guys sure do cuss your team a lot.

[Ice009]

This team is a mess. A fucking mess. Worse than any Spurs team I have seen in 10 years. One of the most talented Spurs teams though.

[Spursox]

If Blair was in there...Millsap would not have put that back...C'mon Pop!

[45 bank shot]

ugly ugly basketball....

[timvp]

Duncan will need a strong finish for the Spurs to have a chance.

Man, this team is struggling in just about every aspect right now.

[45 bank shot]

If Blair was in there...Millsap would not have put that back...C'mon Pop!

pop has a general mistrust with rookies

[Chieflion]

If Blair was in there...Millsap would not have put that back...C'mon Pop!
That is BS. Blair's defense is so horrible they don't need a putback. They can just go into the paint.

[loveforthegame]

This team is a mess. A fucking mess. Worse than any Spurs team I have seen in 10 years. One of the most talented Spurs teams though.

It's hard to watch. This team is talented but it's not meshing right now. Injuries are not helping the process either.

[45 bank shot]

Duncan will need a strong finish for the Spurs to have a chance.

Man, this team is struggling in just about every aspect right now.

do u think they can eventually pick it up?

[Spursox]

Going small

[Chieflion]

Tank the season. LOLS!
Trade Parker lol
Trade Ginobili lol
Trade Jefferson lol
Trade Duncan lol
Rebuild lol

[DPG21920]

I think the team is playing pretty good defense.

[murpjf88]

this is bush league

[hoopdreams11]

small ball??? put theo in the game

[balli]

What a garbage carry call.

[Fpoonsie]

If we end up losing this game, but RMJ finds his shot, I'm okay w/ it.

[Admidave50]

Hit your FTs!

[oligarchy]

I think the team is playing pretty good defense.

What game are you watching?

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill sucks big time today

[loveforthegame]

Ugly.

[HarlemHeat37]

here comes the dry offense..

[Spursox]

G Hill getting schooled tonight!

[loveforthegame]

Let this game be over with already.

[DPG21920]

What game are you watching?

The game that has seen Utah have a 20 point 1st quarter, a 24 point 2nd quarter and a 16 point 3rd quarter.

[Spursox]

We need some Bonner right about now

[Spurs Brazil]

I'd like to see Bogans guarding Williams to end the game

[45 bank shot]

can we just play more pick and rolls

[HarlemHeat37]

let's see if we have one more run..this is time for it..don't let the streak die..

[timvp]

Hill still has a looong way to go. He's made some horrible decisions this game.

[tomtom]

This is the game where you think they'll come back and win the entire game any moment now just to be stabbed in the heart. I wouldn't get my hopes up lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

can we get two stops in a row or two buckets in a row or both for god sake???

[HarlemHeat37]

ugh..next 2 games against a good Wizards team and then our daddy..

[oligarchy]

The game that has seen Utah have a 20 point 1st quarter, a 24 point 2nd quarter and a 16 point 3rd quarter.

Yes, because they aren't getting easy baskets, and simply missing open looks. It's the great defense. Good call. The Jazz are also playing suffocating defense.

[Fpoonsie]

Timmy playin a LOT of minutes.

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL Duncan got pushed off right in front of the ref with no call on that rebound..ridiculous..

[Admidave50]

Come on, We get this!

[Spursox]

RJ take over this game..PLEASE

[DPG21920]

Yes, because they aren't getting easy baskets, and simply missing open looks. It's the great defense. Good call. The Jazz are also playing suffocating defense.

Don't let a 7 minute stretch fool you. They have played a solid defensive game.

[Chieflion]

Alright, Jefferson, that is what I want to see. Nice attack to the rim.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fcukkkkkk RJ come on!!

[Fpoonsie]

DAMmit! I woulda LOVED to see him throw that down. Give me SOMEthing to get excited about.

[Admidave50]

Hit your F**** FTs!

[Spurs Brazil]

Rebs, rebs, rebs, killing us game after game after game

[loveforthegame]

It's one step forward, five back.

[Admidave50]

Those off. rebounds by the Jazz are killing us!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wtf that was a foul !!! and now they give a foul to fcuking boo

[Fpoonsie]

Goddammit!

[Chieflion]

Boozer is killing us.

[Spursox]

Jazz looking to end that streak

[Spurs Brazil]

:(

[HarlemHeat37]

Boozer's such an ineffective player when he isn't allowed pushing off..

[hoopdreams11]

come on POP put Theo in all this stuff around the basket goes away

[oligarchy]

Look at those rotations! Now, that is defense. Don't let some 7 minute stretch fool you guys!

[Fpoonsie]

Mase was hot. Why is he out right now?

[Spursox]

Bonner in GREAT!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

imagine if GH is a shooting guard

[td4mvp21]

So, we are giving up rebounds and pts in the paint, and Pop takes McDyess out in exchange for Bonner, rather than Ratliff?

[timvp]

Joey Crawford. Gotta love it.

[HarlemHeat37]

Utah is getting every call this game..absolutely ridiculous to be fucked by refs in 2 straight games..

[murpjf88]

they can't beat utah, they can't beat anybody

[Fpoonsie]

Un...fucking...believable.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

This sucks

[DPG21920]

Look at those rotations! Now, that is defense. Don't let some 7 minute stretch fool you guys!

You are sounding like a douche right now. They will hold another team to 90 points. That is terrible defense! OMG, Suns partII!!!!!!!!!!

[Ice009]

RJ take over this game..PLEASE

RJ ain't going to take over shit.

If the Spurs wanted a SF with balls should have fucking traded for Jackson.

RJ is just not a crunch time player.

[Chomag]

Refs teaming up with the jazz to help them put the spurs away. I wish I could say I am surprised.

[TDMVPDPOY]

imagine if GH is a shooting guard

imagine if he was 6'8 :D

[hoopdreams11]

Bonner ???

[timvp]

I don't want to see the decade ownage of the Jazz come to an end :depressed

[exstatic]

I don't like Deron Williams. I used to, but he's turned into just another Sloan thug.

[HarlemHeat37]

Utah finally ending their streak would be a pretty good indicative of our season so far, and maybe overall..

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

so the hornets are gonna win at home as the sun sets

[hoopdreams11]

now Fin is coming in???

[Fpoonsie]

I don't want to see the decade ownage of the Jazz come to an end :depressed

Same here. Each time they mention it, I die a bit inside.

[timvp]

Big shot, RJ.

[oligarchy]

You are sounding like a douche right now. They will hold another team to 90 points. That is terrible defense! OMG, Suns partII!!!!!!!!!!

A douche because I think the defense isn't stellar, excellent take. ha.

[Libri]

Come on, get a stop!

[Fpoonsie]

De-fense!

[Spursox]

Nice to see movie stars in the stands

[HarlemHeat37]

George needs to make these..HUGE free throws..

[DPG21920]

A douche because you are being sarcastic when the numbers are right in front of your face. They had a bad stretch in the 4th on defense, not the entire game.

[timvp]

Damn it Hill.

[Fpoonsie]

Fts...please.

Ugh.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fuck you don't have to miss FT to be a spur WTF

[Admidave50]

"81-78 Michael Finley enters the game for Keith Bogans" uhoh..

[Chieflion]

Who is Gerald Hill? Never heard of him. You retard announcers.
