11/19 - Spurs vs Jazz Game blog

[tomtom]

Fuck

[loveforthegame]

Gotta love missed fts.

[Fpoonsie]

These fucking long-ass boards.

[loveforthegame]

Boozer killing us again.

[Ice009]

I don't care what the stats say Timvp the Spurs suck DICK at rebounding with the game on the line.

they always fucking blow the rebound.

[Spurs Brazil]

FTs and boards....

[Fpoonsie]

FTs! SOMEbody make the pair.

[HarlemHeat37]

bad defense by McDyess there, overplaying Brewer..

now Duncan has to make them..

[oligarchy]

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.

Yes, because teams don't just shoot bad and have low scoring games because of their pace. It has to be defense. Go troll someone else and up your post count.

[timvp]

Stop please.

[TDomination]

its a miracle, we got both ft's

[Fpoonsie]

Thank Christ.

Please, Spurs...please.

[loveforthegame]

Duncan with clutch fts.

[Admidave50]

Fuck these Off Rebounds and missed FTs!

[TDMVPDPOY]

td clutch

[HarlemHeat37]

Carlos Boozer..seriously?..

[Chieflion]

Fucking Boozer.

[timvp]

Boozer making some of the luckiest shots I've ever seen.

[balli]

Deron's the shit.

[Fpoonsie]

Fuck.

[Spurs Brazil]

Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

[TDMVPDPOY]

hill foul out? fuck this

[loveforthegame]

You've got to be kidding me.

[Ice009]

Wow Spurs give up huge rebounds and also give up 3 point plays with the game on the line.

That is the story of the Spurs this season.

[TDomination]

This is frustrating! ugh!

[redzero]

Work it, Booze!

[TIMMYD!]

George has fouled out. Hell no.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

mason better make something happen

[Admidave50]

If Booz hits his FT, it's done

[Fpoonsie]

Time for some o' that last season magic, Mase.

[loveforthegame]

Mason, this would be a good time for one of your miracle shots.

[murpjf88]

they can't get one fuckin stop

[tomtom]

Will Mase turn on clutch mode is the question

[TIMMYD!]

This game is over.

[Death In June]

Wow.

[HarlemHeat37]

Utah ends their streak..this team just REALLY sucks right now..a lot..

[hoopdreams11]

Why not THeo they couldn't score around the rimm when he was in Is Pop purposely throwing the game? makes no sense

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

its over

[Fpoonsie]

[sigh]

Nvm. Ballgame.

[TIMMYD!]

Definitely.

[timvp]

R.I.P.
Jazz Ownage
1999-2009

[td4mvp21]

We suck so bad right now

[loveforthegame]

Fuck this.

[DPG21920]

Yes, because teams don't just shoot bad and have low scoring games because of their pace. It has to be defense. Go troll someone else and up your post count.

You are probably the same guy who thinks the Spurs lose because "their shots don't fall".

lol at random throw away lines. Shhh, girl.

[Spursox]

Jazz losing streak is coming to an end....Ain't that a shame..

[TIMMYD!]

And the streak is over.

[Spurs Brazil]

That's very very disappointing

[Ice009]

Deron's the shit.

I gave Deron props the game we played before and I will agree with you. Deron IS THE SHIT.

Great player. I would take him over Chris Paul as I like him better attitude wise.

[loveforthegame]

The play will probably be drawn up for Finley.

[TDomination]

finally defense is getting better and now our offense has become pitiful

[Libri]

It was an uphill battle through out the game.

:depressed

[Rorschach]

At this point, Im just hoping to make an 8 seed.

[murpjf88]

trash the season and get the number one pick

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol bonner is great i will say it

[balli]

R.I.P.
Jazz Ownage
1999-2009
Well knock on wood, but honestly, it's about as satisfying a win as you'd think.

Finally.

lol Bonner.

[Death In June]

Good one, you red haired tampon.

[itzsoweezee]

didn't expect to be feeling the way i am right now this season; especially not this early in the season

[td4mvp21]

Fuck Bonner

[Chomag]

God dammit bonner!!!!! WTF is he on the floor during clutch!!!!

[yomama21]

Don't blame it all on the injuries either. We're still an old team even with the additions. Still need more athleticism. If it keeps going like this, we're gonna need to just blow this team up for the most part and start from scratch. God this is depressing.

[td4mvp21]

didn't expect to be feeling the way i am right now this season; especially not this early in the season

It's understandable, we all had very high expectations and the Spurs are not meeting them at all.

[Chieflion]

These guys fucking stink. I want in on the LeBron, Wade, Bosh sweepstakes. Screw this season.

[TIMMYD!]

It's official, we blow big hard ones.

[timvp]

fml

[Fpoonsie]

Okla-tonio?

[dirk4mvp]

Are the refs the reason the spurs lost this game too?

[DPG21920]

The only thing worse than losing to a struggling Utah team in SA, is listening to the douche fans afterward.

[Spurs Brazil]

We sucks

There are some many things wrong that I don't know even where to start...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Pathetic

[exstatic]

Don't blame it all on the injuries either. We're still an old team even with the additions. Still need more athleticism. If it keeps going like this, we're gonna need to just blow this team up for the most part and start from scratch. God this is depressing.

Drink bleach.

[TIMMYD!]

Tim again leading us in all the 3 key stats: 21,9,5

[murpjf88]

And to think of all the stupid fucks in this forum that thought RJ was going to put this team over the top.

REALITY CHECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Johnny RIngo]

These guys fucking stink. I want in on the LeBron, Wade, Bosh sweepstakes. Screw this season.

Too late for that now that we have Jefferson and his overpaid contract.

[Leetonidas]

Spurs just don't look good out there. Their defense is getting better but they can't get a stop when they need to. And their offense has completely disappeared. I like seeing these low scoring games but c'mon, this is pitiful.

[mazerrackham]

I don't think I'm gonna be able to take it if I have to listen to those Jazz anouncers for another game this season....Could they be any worse?

[Bartleby]

The Spurs are only ten games into the season and they lost the last two games (barely) without two of their best players. It is what it is, but it's not the end of the season. Not by a long shot. What a bunch of drama queens

[Death In June]

This team is a mess. From the coach, to every single player. There are huge concerns.

[benefactor]

[Capt Bringdown]

Wow, that Theo Ratliff sure knows how to make a stat sheet sing, doesn't he?
Live by the Methuselah, die by the Methuselah.

[boutons_deux]

4/20 3Gs, no win.

[Thompson]

Are the refs the reason the spurs lost this game too?

Nope, this was a legit loss.

[Admidave50]

fuck fuck fuck, the game vs Washington won't be easy with Jamison coming back!

[oligarchy]

You are probably the same guy who thinks the Spurs lose because "their shots don't fall".

lol at random throw away lines. Shhh, girl.

Shhhh, girl? LOL. Don't cry because the Spurs and their stellar defense lost. I don't cry when the Spurs lose, nor do I make stupid ass excuses. So, go fuck yourself.

[balli]

Hill is gross. I know he's not used to those minutes, but man, he was awful for you guys tonight.

[Chieflion]

Too late for that now that we have Jefferson and his overpaid contract.
Trade his ass to Portland. With all the injuries and no progress on anything, I say the Spurs may be done.

[redzero]

Fail.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD played 38 minutes, +6, we lost this game when he was on the bench

[Ditty]

we need parker

nuff said

[Ice009]

And to think of all the stupid fucks in this forum that thought RJ was going to put this team over the top.

REALITY CHECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still don't understand why the Spurs didn't try to trade for Stephen Jackson.


Anyone know why??? I mean surely they didn't think Finley, Mason Jr and Bonner were going to get better as the season goes along did they???????????

Stephen is simply a better player than RJ.

Now that Iv'e seen RJ up close he is not worth half his salary.

How can Manu and Parker be getting paid less money than RJ? The guy is bad in crunch time, He can't shoot that well and is an average defender.

RJ needs to be in the gym every fucking minute working on his flaws to earn his paycheck.

[leemajors]

Are the refs the reason the spurs lost this game too?

they lost because they suck.

[spursfan1000]

whats going on with them , i thought they would be better this year than last year,,,I know its early and we have new players but damn we cant even win a game if our life depened on it

[Spursox]

Why are these guys always getting injured? Do they not lift weights and train properly?

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill is gross. I know he's not used to those minutes, but man, he was awful for you guys tonight.

Agree, he hit some shots but his decision making was terrible; he did a poor job running the O

[td4mvp21]

they lost because they suck.

:lol :tu

[CP48107]

This is just depressing. We definitely don't want to lose hope this early in the season, but I just can't help it. I am ok with Tony's injury, but Manu really let us down. These guys play hard, but I don't see how we can compete with the LA or Denver.

[dirk4mvp]

they lost because they suck.

:lol just checkin

[DPG21920]

Shhhh, girl? LOL. Don't cry because the Spurs and their stellar defense lost. I don't cry when the Spurs lose, nor do I make stupid ass excuses. So, go fuck yourself.

Hold a team to 90 points, then bitch about their defense, and I need to go f*ck myself?

What is it with your random ass throw away lines:

1) "Quit trolling and get your post count up"
2) "Don't cry"

Definite signs of douche.

Where was I crying? Where was I making excuses? I said I thought the Spurs played a good defensive game overall. Keep saying random things that make no sense, and keep clinging to the fact a team that held another team to 90 PTS played a bad defensive game.

[Kori Ellis]

Did you seriously ask "what's going on with them?" Are you a Spurs fan? You realize that Tony/Manu aren't playing, right?

[Creation88]

we were destined to lose this game. between joey crawford, all the And 1s they got, and every fucking announcer and their mom claiming "jazz haven't won here since 1994" we had no chance.

fucking jinxed.

[justinandimcool]

One random loss to Utah in the second night of a B2B without our two best offensive players, while playing great defense til the last 5 minutes, and suddenly our season is done. :lol

[benefactor]

Maybe if I make a post with lots of question marks and exclamation points it will change everything.

[DesignatedT]

NO 4 DOWN ran tonight.... really payed off.

[Chieflion]

Agree, he hit some shots but his decision making was terrible; he did a poor job running the O
Who wouldn't? This team has some shitty players who are so inconsistent. Bonner finally sucked today. I was waiting for his 1st game of suckiness since he played from the bench. Even when they are consistent, no offense, they consistently suck.

[spursfan1000]

sure im a spurs fan

[Kori Ellis]

sure im a spurs fan

Sure.

Then you should know the Spurs without Manu/Tony aren't going to win many games.

[tp2021]

I have no doubt that this team will be great by the end of the season, when it matters.
Where my doubts lie are in the ability of this team to win enough games while they gel/recover from injuries to be able to make the playoffs in the West at all.

[benefactor]

I love these threads. Do people even watch the games or do they just post after the score flashes across the bottom of the screen?

[murpjf88]

Agree, he hit some shots but his decision making was terrible; he did a poor job running the O

Oh, but before the season, you couldn't get enough of hill. you just needed the season to start to open your fuckin eyes.

[Duncan2177]

Why are these guys always getting injured? Do they not lift weights and train properly?

I think Parker was eating to much french food while he was in france this past summer.

[benefactor]

sure im a spurs fan
Obviously not one that watches the games.

[ffadicted]

Why is it that Boozer always fucks the spurs when we play. He sucks every other night, and it's like he's just waiting for us lol

[Death In June]

One random loss to Utah in the second night of a B2B without our two best offensive players, while playing great defense til the last 5 minutes, and suddenly our season is done. :lolSo, when's a reasonable time to start worrying? 6-12? 5-15? I'm just wondering when people can be openly chastised for claiming chemistry or injuries as reasons for shitty basketball.

[johnnyblues]

I wonder how many "fire pop" threads will pop up...

[oligarchy]

Hold a team to 90 points, then bitch about their defense, and I need to go f*ck myself?

You really like to argue. That's good, but you should learn to read, even read what you wrote. You said I make excuses, I didn't say you did. My retort was that I don't make excuses. Hi! Welcome to reading comprehension. You make fun of what I say, but you say "Douche" and "Shhhh, girl." Nice. You're not a hypocrite.

You're crying about what I said. Guess what? Who gives a fuck if you don't agree with me? IF you believe they were great defensively tonight, good for you.

[HarlemHeat37]

Why is it that Boozer always fucks the spurs when we play. He sucks every other night, and it's like he's just waiting for us lol

Boozer actually had a bad game, he just made a couple of big shots down the stretch..

[Russ]

fuck fuck fuck, the game vs Washington won't be easy with Jamison coming back!

Let's hope it's the Washington Generals. :king

[justinandimcool]

So, when's a reasonable time to start worrying? 6-12? 5-15? I'm just wondering when people can be openly chastised for claiming chemistry or injuries as the reason for shitty basketball.

:lol We aren't going to go 5-15. The basketball wasn't that shitty. Each shot was contested, the midrange shots were available, and effort was respectable both tonight and last night. In both games they played well until the last 5 minutes, which coincides with Pop not having figured out clutch rotations yet, especially with 2 of the most clutch players out.

[Johnny RIngo]

Trade his ass to Portland. With all the injuries and no progress on anything, I say the Spurs may be done.

It's a bad contract. No team is going to take him unless they can dump a cancer or a few bad contracts of their own. Spurs are stuck with Jefferson whether they like it or not.

[Johnny RIngo]

Why is it that Boozer always fucks the spurs when we play. He sucks every other night, and it's like he's just waiting for us lol

It's not just Boozer. Just the other night we made Gooden look like an all-star player.

[DPG21920]

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


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 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.


I think the team is playing pretty good defense.


You are probably the same guy who thinks the Spurs lose because "their shots don't fall".

Where in any of those quotes did I say you make excuses?

Answer that or STFU.

Wow, all this hate for jefferson now. This forum couldn't wait to put jefferson in a spurs uniform. I guess it took the regular season to start to open your fuckin eyes.

[murpjf88]

What's wrong with Jefferson?
NOTHING. THIS IS HIS GAME. ITS ALWAYS BEEN HIS GAME AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE HIS GAME. tHIS IS SOMETHING SPURS FANS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GET USE TO.

Yes, not everything you said was directed at me. Okay! lulz. You just said that after they lose I say to myself "the shots aren't falling." That's not an excuse though. lulz. Sorry if I confuse "Solid Defense" with "Great Defense." I'd hate for anyone to confuse those terms. :lol

That is all. Have fun.

[Johnny RIngo]

What's wrong with Jefferson?

There's nothing wrong with him. He's just overpaid - hence the fact that it's a bad contract.

[DPG21920]

Thats what happens when reality sets in that you were being a douche. You stop.

[Ice009]

Wow, all this hate for jefferson now. This forum couldn't wait to put jefferson in a spurs uniform. I guess it took the regular season to start to open your fuckin eyes.

I haven't really watched Jefferson before, but after watching his play so far for the Spurs how can anyone give him a pass.

He is not worth even half his contract.

[redzero]

There's nothing wrong with him. He's just overpaid - hence the fact that it's a bad contract.

Peja had 25 points and 13 rebounds tonight. Wanna trade?

We're staying neck and neck against good teams with 2 of our best players missing... I'll take that for now... no reason to panic people.

Seriously. Unless we get absolutely blown out by the Wizards and Bucks, there's no need to think this is anything other than injuries and lineup influidity. The effort is there, the talent is there.

[murpjf88]

I haven't really watched Jefferson before, but after watching his play so far for the Spurs how can anyone give him a pass.

He is not worth even half his contract.

I kind of figured that was the case, I have seen him in the passed, and new this was a bad signing from day one.

Vince carter is 32. At 35, he will be better than RJ at 29. Terrible signing.

[Johnny RIngo]

I guess it took the regular season to start to open your fuckin eyes.

Huh? I was never an advocate of the Jefferson trade. I wanted a player like Carter or SJax.

[Zero_Twilight]

Wow, all this hate for jefferson now. This forum couldn't wait to put jefferson in a spurs uniform. I guess it took the regular season to start to open your fuckin eyes.

Spurstalk, scan this losers posts. Get his IP and ban the sad pos. Nobody can have a discussion on these forums anymore without these idiots derailing the threads.

[NRHector]

At this pace Jefferson and the rest of the new players should be ready next year

Jazz get first win in San Antonio since 1999 (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap?gid=2009111924&prov=ap)
By Paul J. Weber

A decade of misery for the Utah Jazz in San Antonio is over.

But the Spurs’ early struggles show no sign of ending.

Deron Williams scored 21 points and Carlos Boozer scored 10 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Jazz to their first regular-season victory in San Antonio since 1999—a 90-83 win on Thursday night.

That’s 10 years and 20 games since 30 points from Karl Malone on Feb. 28, 1999, carried the Jazz to their previous win in San Antonio. No player in Utah’s loose locker room Thursday night was even in the NBA back then.

“We’ve been to this building a lot of times, had some close games and had some blowouts,” said Boozer, who also had 11 rebounds. “To get the win, the first one in this building, is big-time for our organization. We’re proud of ourselves.”

Tim Duncan scored 21 points, and he has seldom seen San Antonio struggle at the start of a season like this. The Spurs revamped their roster this summer with sights set on a fifth NBA title run, but they are 4-6 and have their first losing record after 10 games since 1996.

The Spurs have dropped three straight.

“(We have to) worry more about improvement and understanding more than our record—and we know what our record is,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.

Paul Millsap added 20 points for the Jazz, who won back-to-back games for the first time this season. They did so with only nine players for the second consecutive night, after beating Toronto at home on Wednesday.

Taking over Malone’s role, Boozer played the foil to the Spurs this time. He was 4-of-6 from the field in the fourth. His second of two and-ones in the period with 1:08 left put Utah up 87-83 and provided a big two-possession cushion.

Ronnie Brewer added 13 points for the Jazz, who shot 60 percent in the fourth quarter. Williams had six of his 10 assists while playing the entire fourth quarter along with Millsap and Andrei Kirilenko, who finished with 13 points.

“We did all the right things down the stretch, which we’ve struggled with in this building,” Williams said. “I still want to beat them when they’re not short-handed.”

The Spurs certainly were.

Like the Jazz, they were also playing their second game in two nights after falling in overtime at Dallas. The Spurs hobbled home Thursday perhaps not weary, but certainly more banged up.

Manu Ginobili, who sprained his left groin against the Mavericks, is expected to miss at least a week. He sat out along with Tony Parker, who has missed four of five games because of a nagging ankle sprain.

Parker, San Antonio’s third-leading scorer, remains day-to-day. The All-Star point guard originally hurt the ankle Nov. 6, then re-aggravated the sprain Saturday in a loss to Oklahoma City.

George Hill, starting in place of Parker, had 18 points but on 7-of-17 shooting. Richard Jefferson added 16 points, and Roger Mason had 12.

After spending big dollars to bring in Jefferson and Antonio McDyess this summer while dumping half their roster, the Spurs’ sputtering start isn’t what the team had in mind. But it’s also not the first time San Antonio has started slow: the Spurs began 5-5 last season, and still won the Southwest Division.

“If the playoffs started tomorrow, I think we’d be in trouble,” Duncan said. “But we’ve got a long way to go.”

NOTES: Jazz G Ronnie Price will not need surgery on his injured left toe, the team announced before the game. Price has undergone two MRIs since spraining his big toe Nov. 9 in a win against the Knicks. … Utah C Mehmet Okur didn’t make the trip, staying home because of flulike symptoms.

[VivaPopovich]

good defense tonight, but argg we need to hit those free throws! our guys have great bodies, super-athletes, millions of dollars a year to play basketball, they should be hitting those free throws every time

what upset me the most was carlos boozer pounding his chest like a stupid gorrilla that never made an nba basket before. loser. utah ain't going anywhere any time soon.

but at least old man sloan got a win tonight.. he deserves it

[Zero_Twilight]

what upset me the most was carlos boozer pounding his chest like a stupid gorrilla that never made an nba basket before. loser. utah ain't going anywhere any time soon.



LMFAO, yeah. I feel you on that Boozer thing. What a loser, I wonder if he knows he was "gifted" those and 1's or does he think he actually earned them?

Utah had a tough time scoring tonight, they had to move the ball around and stir the pot continuously so to speak in order to score. They got lucky with Deron Williams chucking up those 3's and making em. He stopped trying once Bogans locked him down.

Utah is still the same team as last year and their core nucleus is healthy. It wasn't a cake walk for them, I'm sure.This game is a revelation to the defence starting to gel. Angry for not getting a W? Yes. Worried? Not in the least.

I'm still as excited for this season as I was in the summer.

[Bukefal]

Damn, thats a shame, losing to the jazz. I couldnt see the game. We just need Parker back!!!! How did Ratliff do? I have a feeling he sucked.

[VivaPopovich]

Damn, thats a shame, losing to the jazz. I couldnt see the game. We just need Parker back!!!! How did Ratliff do? I have a feeling he sucked.

he actually got some PT tonight and had 3 blocks that really fired everyone up

hopefully we'll see more of him and get more out of him next game

[Cherry]

keep making the game blog threads please. When other people do it we just seem to lose.

:wakeup

[jazzypimp]

Just to point out we were missing 2 starters, our 6th man and backup pg.. we had to play most of the game with 2 rookies and 2 bigs that never, ever get time usually...

just had to say for all you people patting yourselves on the back for hangin around with your 2 big time players gone!

Are those players better than parker and manu? Come on get serious. The spurs are obviously missing parker and manu, ratliff started who is new to the team if you dont know that, blair is a rookie, dice and jefferson are new to the team... and to top it off the spurs have finley and bonner playing on the team :downspin:

when did i ever say they were better? I am saying that we had no shooters period. nobody to spread the floor. Tell me one jazz player known for his shooting? Dwill was the only one to even come close. Okur always had monster games against you guys. korver, cj, and okur were are three shooters. They were all out so we had to beat you with layups and midrange jump shots. thats been the whole problem this year. we have no shooters. we are starting an undrafted rookie. we are plpaying a rookie pg with williams at the 2. Like manu was playing well this first part of the season anyways.

Like manu was playing well this first part of the season anyways.

Parker just like manu wasn't playing well to start the season either but that doesn't mean they are not huge for the spurs. The spurs have been contenders with the big three and to be missing two of them is alot worse than the jazz missing their 3 point shooters in my opinon but that doesn't matter. It was a good game and both teams played hard and the jazz earned the win.

You guys sure do cuss your team a lot.

It'll all change in a few months when they get it together and go on a long win streak.

I think I have more faith that they'll still be there come playoff time than the actual spurs fans do. I've seen this happen too many times to count them out, especially being so early in the season.
