Nicely done completely deck. The info you put in is appreciated. :tu

[SamoanTD]

now this is what you call a game blog:toast

[Spurs Brazil]

2 things.

1 - Stay healthy
2 - No foul trouble for Hill, play him as much he can, maybe around 42 minutes

[spurs10]

I'm going to the game tonight. This info makes me feel better about our chances, as some of their guys are out too. Thanks.

[bigdog]

Jefferson needs to have a big game, as well as Hill. I also expect to see some production out of Finley. If Mason doesn't show anything, sit him and play Hairston.

Good thing is Okur is out so he won't punish our frontline down low like last time LOL

[bdictjames]

Win this one san antonio! Go spurs go!

[spurtilldeath]

Deck...you are doing a great job. Cheers my friend. Lets Go Spurs. Here is to a game well played under pressure. Win or Lose, I'm proud of my Spurs.

[5in10]

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

[skervy]

We need to see some of the young guys...Harriston, Haslip, and Mahinmi. Let see if they can prove they belong!

[HarlemHeat37]

Utah hasn't won in SA since '99, we usually kill them here, no Okur tonight..

It'll be tough without Parker and Ginobili, but this should definitely be a win..

[Chomag]

I hope we get to see Hairston with more chances tonight. IT would be great to see something fresh.

[crc21209]

Just get a W damn it...:flag:

[Sigz]

Hope Wes Matthews dominates tonight. Went to HS with the guy, and he owes me $5.

ANyways, go spurs go.

[ashbeeigh]

Seriously thinking of not watching this one. There's too much good stuff on tv tonight and I cannot stomach another loss.

[Interrohater]

Ash, will you be able to stomach not having watched a game that the Spurs absolutely dominate?



not saying they will........but it's possible.....



Go Spurs!!

[balli]

Seriously thinking of not watching this one. There's too much good stuff on tv tonight and I cannot stomach another loss.

Never count out the Spurs when Utah's in town.

[duncan228]

McDonald.

Pop: Manu could miss a week

[bbarry]

fuck. this is the 3rd straight game that FSNSW has blacked out on me. First two times were for both Mavericks games. Is it happening to anyone else?

edit: well actually the first time they showed the stupid replay of the Texas football game.....
what can I do about it? I want to watch the damn spurs tonight.

[duncan228]

Starters: Bogans, Hill, Ratliff, Duncan, Jefferson

[Chieflion]

Suddenly, Ratliff gets some burn after a few DNP-CDs. Will Blair get the DNP-CD this game?

[duncan228]

Oh, and Parker is out.

[Quiet Strength]

Starters: Bogans, Hill, Ratliff, Duncan, Jefferson

Oooh it should be very interesting with ratliff starting. Defense should be strong but I'm a little worried about the spurs on offense..

[slick'81]

back2back after a tough loss im looking for a short handed spurs team to bounce back GOspursGO

fck utah

[phyzik]

I think the Jazz are in for a world of hurt. they will be taken to the shed and beat with a stick. The losing streak here in SA will be safe.

[bigdog]

I just want a win, and hope no one else gets injured.

[xellos88330]

Go Spurs Go!!!

:flag: :flag: :flag:

[duncan228]

It's so nice to be able to get Spurs call on LP.

No, tip in just a couple of minutes.

[spurtilldeath]

[bbarry]

[Spurs Brazil]

It's so nice to be able to get Spurs call on LP.

DAMN, Jazz call on ILP :depressed

[DesignatedT]

my LP is not showing anything either...

[hoopdreams11]

Ratliff starting

[HarlemHeat37]

I've been getting the Spurs call at a good rate so far on LP..there wasn't much of it last year, it was usually the other team's..

Joey Crawford..ugh..

Let's go, I'm expecting a big win here..

[ace3g]

wooo, Spurs are finally aired on Foxsports SW again

[DPG21920]

I've been getting the Spurs call at a good rate so far on LP..there wasn't much of it last year, it was usually the other team's..

Joey Crawford..ugh..

Let's go, I'm expecting a big win here..

When you are looking at the channel guide, do you not have 2 channels showing the same game?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

my LP is showing the big ass LP sign and not the game when i clicked on the game ....anyone having the same problemo?

[Spurs Brazil]

Put the ball on TD hands all night, he'll kill Fesenko

[ace3g]

wow a Spurs alley oop play!!!!

[duncan228]

Broadband not working for me, TV is fine.

[Chieflion]

Keith Bogans getting his flopping on early.

[HarlemHeat37]

When you are looking at the channel guide, do you not have 2 channels showing the same game?

No, I only get 1 feed..who's your provider?..

Bogans is great so far..should have played more last night, he's always energy..

[ace3g]

ratliff with the block!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

RATLIFF!!..already making an impact..

[Spurs Brazil]

Theo block!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[completely deck]

got dang theo

[DesignatedT]

my LP is showing the big ass LP sign and not the game when i clicked on the game ....anyone having the same problemo?

exact same for me....

[hoopdreams11]

Ratliff get that bullSh#$% out of here

[EmptyMan]

wtf was that?

Did the Spurs just alley-oop!? My god, I did not think they were capable.

[Libri]

Two good plays already! :downspin:

[Death In June]

I'm a fan of this lineup.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I like this lineup :)

[Chieflion]

Theo still one of the best shotblockers in the league.

[DesignatedT]

whats the lineup?

who was the alley oop to?

[HarlemHeat37]

Fesenko moving all over that screen, Bogans called for the foul..Joey with the call..

[DBMethos]

WTF League Pass broadband???

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Booooooggans

[Chieflion]

Bogans with the long 2.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

FUCCCCK my LPB is not fcuking working

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Hill
Bogans
RJ
Duncan
Ratliff

[hoopdreams11]

better movement on offense tonight

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Hill with 2 airballs :(

[HarlemHeat37]

Hill airballing his money shot..

[Death In June]

GH3 has been wayyyy off on his early shots.

[Chieflion]

Keith Bogans, again getting his flopping on.

[DesignatedT]

those with the broadband problem: try www.channelsurfing.net untill they get it fixed. thats what im watching it on for now

[HarlemHeat37]

I hate those charge calls, but it was a good call..

[ace3g]

Theo is moving well for his age, he caught up to that fast break to get the block, I wouldn't mind him in the starting lineup, and have two 7 footers

Parker/Hill, Bogans, Jefferson, Duncan, Ratliff

I was worried about Ratliff's age and speed, but he moves pretty well

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I believe this is the first time that the Spurs haven't got the call on LP :(

[Death In June]

Duncan looks a little slow right now

[HarlemHeat37]

bad foul by Hill..might have been avoided had RJ gotten the rebound first, I don't know why he waited for it..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

GH3 with 2 fouls already.... Not good

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN

2PF on Hill

[Chieflion]

Holy shit. Hill with foul trouble which also means Mason will play PG again.

[HarlemHeat37]

Mason at PG time?..

[Fpoonsie]

Perfect. More RMJ at PG. Fucking kill me.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i am so pisssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeed stupid LPBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB FCUKKK

[DPG21920]

No, I only get 1 feed..who's your provider?..

Bogans is great so far..should have played more last night, he's always energy..

Time Warner. It shows two channels and you get to choose the announcers.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

LBP fml .....mason at point FFFFFFFMMMMMLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck, we're in trouble with Mason now

I like Bogans D on Williams

TD must keep attacking Boozer to put him in foul trouble

[Thompson]

WTF League Pass broadband???

Yeah, I'm having problems also. And when you try to use the 'live chat help' feature, it either doesn't work or tells you to try back during their normal hours... which don't end until 9 or 10 p.m. anyway, so I don't know what the deal is. Is anyone's LP Broadband working? Freaking NBA.

[Chieflion]

Sloan playing some small ball. Kirilenko is the center.

[DesignatedT]

Broadband isnt working for me im watching it on www.channelsurfing.net just scroll down till u see utah @ san antonio

[Death In June]

Do we have anyone else to play pg? Anyone other than mason?

[HarlemHeat37]

RJ has to attack here, nobody else can do anything on their own..

[duncan228]

Time Warner. It shows two channels and you get to choose the announcers.

I have that too, in Southern California. I love having the choice.


Is anyone's LP Broadband working? Freaking NBA.

My Broadband isn't either. TV is fine.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

NOOOOOOOOO Finley for RJ. There goes our offense

[TIMMYD!]

RJ needs to attack without any big scoring threat on the floor right now.

[HarlemHeat37]

Mason
Bogans
Finley
Bonner
McDyess

FTW!

[DPG21920]

I have that too, in Southern California. I love having the choice.






Yeah, that was a really cool and smart upgrade.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bogans is doing a GREAT job on Williams

[oligarchy]

The All-Star lineup.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Time Warner. It shows two channels and you get to choose the announcers.


SWEET, Did they just start doing that this year? Last year I don't remember that feature.

[Chomag]

LOL, seriously why does Pop hate Hairston so much?

[Thompson]

Broadband isnt working for me im watching it on www.channelsurfing.net just scroll down till u see utah @ san antonio

Thanks DT.

[jlpittsley]

My NBA Broadband is stuck on Chanel 4? Anybody having this problem?

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL McDyess gets called for a moving screen..Utah's been doing it all game..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Church of Bogans has a new believer :)

[HarlemHeat37]

AGAIN?!..

are you fucking serious?!..

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck the refs!

[DPG21920]

SWEET, Did they just start doing that this year? Last year I don't remember that feature.

Brand new feature for this year. Doesn't happen every game, especially when there are a lot of games on one night, but a fair amount of time, they have the option.

[murpjf88]

my nba broadband is stuck on chanel 4? Anybody having this problem?

my screen keeps jumping from the game to league pass screen

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Thats good to see... RMJ hitting a 3

[oligarchy]

Do you believe in miracles?

[Fpoonsie]

Please. GOD. Let that open the hoop up for Roj.

[DPG21920]

Finally. A good looking, confident shot from Ma$e

[Chieflion]

Finally Mason decides to hit a shot.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finally

Mason Jr 33333333333333

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Hairston!!!

[DPG21920]

Malik! Lets see what you can do boi.

[Chieflion]

Now Bogans has 2 fouls. Fucking stupid. The saving grace is that Pop decides to play Malik Hairston. He has no other person to play anyway.

[Spurs Brazil]

Malik in!

[hoopdreams11]

Hairston sighting

[Thompson]

Hairston coming in!

[HarlemHeat37]

Let's go Hairston..earn your minutes..

sucks that he has to play with this lineup though, nobody can create..

[DPG21920]

I want to see if Malik can draw some fouls. He should be able to if he is aggressive.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Missing FT's isn't a good way to start :(

[oligarchy]

blair and hairston on the floor.

[Chieflion]

Malik missed his first free throw.

[HarlemHeat37]

Hairston misses both LOL..what a Spur..

[Chieflion]

Argh, Malik!!!!

[DPG21920]

Another solid defensive quarter at least.

[45 bank shot]

terrible first half

[Thompson]

Hairston missed both free throws! Get him the *$%# out of there! :lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Another solid defensive quarter at least.

hum....10 points for millsap off the benc

[Spurs Brazil]

Bogans with a great 1st quarter

I hope refs let them play in the 2nd

[DPG21920]

20 PTS, 35% FG for the Jazz.

[HarlemHeat37]

I really wanna see Hill-Hairston-Blair together, they built some nice chemistry in SL and preseason..

[bbarry]

this is one of the boringer games i've seen. I don't even feel like watching it.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

RJ Blocked :(

[bigdog]

OMG Bonner

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner :lol :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

Bonner needs to just shoot that 3, he had room..

[Death In June]

Bonner shouldn't drive, ever.

[Chieflion]

Um, Bonner, what the fuck was that?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lawl what a shot by boner

[duncan228]

My LP Broadband is working now.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Painful :(

[TIMMYD!]

Another crappy pass from Mason...
FML

[DesignatedT]

Wowwwwwwwwwwwww bonnner

[HarlemHeat37]

Finley gets blown by for an easy 2..no help..

Mason throws it away for an easy 2..

ohhh what a great duo they are..

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fcuk RMJ he just doens't seems to wanna play wtf

[Chieflion]

Fuck you Mason, seriously fuck you!

[Libri]

:(

[oligarchy]

at least you can be impressed with the spurs' commercial

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

So Hairston is benched for missing FT's but Finley gets more minutes for his awesome defense?

[45 bank shot]

i guess we are gonna lose again if mason keeps playing pg

[HarlemHeat37]

I love the "Utah hasn't won in San Antonio in 10 years" streak..don't let it die..

[murpjf88]

this team is junk

[alchemist]

:lmao RMJ is so terrible handling the rock

[TIMMYD!]

6 TOs already

[Death In June]

Well, these things tend to happen when you have mason, finely, and bonner on the floor at the same time.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs mediocre, they really got nothing. No 3Gs, no game.

[DesignatedT]

WOW . once again put TIM DUNCAN in the fucking game... once AGAIN hes the only fucking one that can do anything. nobody is doing anything. not RJ not HILL not BOGANS not MASON ... nobody but DUNCAN. and then he gets trashed on after every game. fuckin ridiculous

[Chieflion]

Well, these things tend to happen when you have mason, finely, and bonner on the floor at the same time.
This only happens when there are no creators on the court. Bonner tried to take it upon himself. All hell broke loose.

[DesignatedT]

You idiots, it's not the players fault they are out there. It's the coachs job. He yanks a rook out if they don't dribble the ball right but leaves these asshats in the game.

Hill is in foul trouble you moron. or else he would be out there. get off masons jock. the dude sucks

[Chieflion]

Wow, Bonner reverse layup.

[oligarchy]

matt showing why he leads in +/-

[td4mvp21]

Mother fucker, we are playing some awful basketball these days :depressed

[Libri]

Spurs are working extra hard for buckets.

[The Red Hood]

Nice confident shot by RJ.

[hoopdreams11]

why is Fin covering brewer? That's a mismatch all day

[HarlemHeat37]

Bonner is playing with great energy right now..he just needs to be more decisive on offense..

[TIMMYD!]

FML... again.

[Libri]

much needed points from Jefferson

[Chieflion]

This is why Bonner leads the team in +/-. Grabs offensive board, assist to Jefferson for 3.

[Chomag]

So Hairston is benched for missing FT's but Finley gets more minutes for his awesome defense?

If Pop treated everyone equal with this there would be alot of people not playing including the big 3 :lol

[Death In June]

Our 3 pt shooters suck a lot of balls.

[HarlemHeat37]

why is Fin covering any NBA player? That's a mismatch all day

fixed..

[austN Spur]

nice shot Jefferson

[HarlemHeat37]

great energy from Grizzly..

[oligarchy]

blair wants to eat.

[Libri]

Blair bullying his way.

[oligarchy]

"oh shit."

[HarlemHeat37]

Hairston misses 2 FTs, now Blair airballs a FT LOL..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

"oh shit" :lol: Anyone hear that?

[Chieflion]

Airball free throw by Blair!

[Death In June]

That was a fucking funny FT.

[austN Spur]

blaair just made the espn not top 10 tomorrow with that free throw airball

[Chomag]

lol at ak47 dunking on us.

[HarlemHeat37]

Blair with bad defense on 2 consecutive possessions..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow..... :(

[austN Spur]

damm these dudes cant miss

[oligarchy]

I love this defense.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bogans continues to impress me

[Samr]

Blair again.

I predict he's the player of this game if the Spurs win.

[HarlemHeat37]

Our team really sucks right now..a lot..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol Bogans and Hill :(

[Thompson]

Does anyone know how to change the team announcers on LP broadband?

[Spurs Brazil]

We're in trouble

Jazz can't miss and we're missing open shots

[oligarchy]

Blair again.

I predict he's the player of this game if the Spurs win.

Then he won't be player of the game. ;)

[Admidave50]

Where is the D? We are shooting too many 3s!

[HarlemHeat37]

Blair's defense is unbelievably bad..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ouch... this is pathetic

[Libri]

crappy defense

[Chieflion]

Fuck this team. Where is Dice?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

At least Blair hustles

[Samr]

"Dejuan blair: MY ball!!!"

[austN Spur]

theres the hustle hell yeah blair...good finish by jefferson spurs down 10

[45 bank shot]

why are we playing so badly

[hoopdreams11]

Where is Theo come on Pop he looked good at the start of the game

[alchemist]

energy play = call a timeout :bang Jesus fucking Christ :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Jazz are killing us in the paint. we need to play better D

[Samr]

Jesus, I just saw the replay. Blair did a summersault on that ball. When guys start complaining about a dip around mid-court, we now know why.

[alchemist]

Jazz are killing us in the paint. we need to play better D
they need to shoot less 3's

[HarlemHeat37]

Ratliff should be playing..he'll have to go out on the perimeter a little, but it can't be worse than Blair right now..

[oligarchy]

maybe they can talk david into playing

[HarlemHeat37]

Utah 1-2 from 3s..
SA 2-12 from 3s..

[td4mvp21]

Oh man I liked that move a lot :tu

[austN Spur]

all right defense now thats what im talking about
more DEFENSE

[Samr]

Blair again with the rebound/knocking it off the jazz.

This dude just has raw hustle.

[Chieflion]

I will live with Hill's negative results due to aggressiveness.

[HarlemHeat37]

Makeup call against Deron for Hill not getting the call on the other hand..

Williams' crossover is disgusting..

[Libri]

aw man!

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK

Refs are terrible

[oligarchy]

actually, a good call

[45 bank shot]

w.e. forget the reffs letz just play

[murpjf88]

get that piss face rj out of the game. I'm sick of him

[hoopdreams11]

we should let Krilenko shoot every shot he wants to take. double everyone else

[The Red Hood]

That's alright, I like the aggressiveness from RJ.

[austN Spur]

get that piss face rj out of the game. I'm sick of him
i think he is just getting some tough breaks. like the guy said just right now about hill taking it to the hoop. i can live with that

[Admidave50]

I'm noticing that in this game and the previous one, Spurs are generating lots of turnovers because of offensive fouls...

[murpjf88]

That's alright, I like the aggressiveness from RJ.

thats his game. all aggressiveness, NO fuckin brains. Thats his career in a nutshell.

[Admidave50]

Go Timmy, he's leading the charge as always!

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs with our 4th airball..

Ratliff has blocked a shot, and heavily altered 2 more..

[Spurs Brazil]

Theo doing a great job there

[Death In June]

Yes, having two bigs makes sense...remember when there were TWO bigs in any given game.

[Chomag]

Can we not shoot 1 more 3 for the rest of the game?

[hoopdreams11]

Ratiliff is altered two shots in a row play him Pop

[oligarchy]

hairston should get 30 more seconds..

[austN Spur]

hairston getting some early minutes. come on spurs finish this quarter strong

[Libri]

Timmy bank

[murpjf88]

put a hand in their face and they shoot airballs.

[Chieflion]

Damn these idiots airballing. I bet I could hit rim if I was in the game.

[TIMMYD!]

Tim the only one with rhythm out there.

[oligarchy]

someone makes a 3???

[The Red Hood]

Hill 3!

[austN Spur]

33333333333

[Chieflion]

Hill buries a 3 point shot.

[Libri]

This is more like it.

[hoopdreams11]

Ratliff better play more next half

[Spurs Brazil]

Terrible D on the last one


Jazz up 4 at the half

[Russ]

Maybe it's just me, but I think the Spurs need to win this game.

[Chieflion]

Damn. Williams counters and 44-40 Jazz up by 4 to end the half.

[alchemist]

:lol

[45 bank shot]

terrible finish, how could u let him shoot open 3?

[HarlemHeat37]

Decent end to the half the last few minutes..play the same way we did in the last few minutes, and we'll get the W..

it's funny how much better the perimeter D is when you have competent defenders out there..

[murpjf88]

uhggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
