[Spurologist]

Neal with it!

[Crookshanks]

Gary Neal is on fiyah!!!!!

[GinobiliForTres]

neal has 7 of our 9 in this 9-0 run. I love when he plays under control. Good defense too, forced a turnover and his man hasn't beat him off the dribble this quarter.

neal with another floater and 1!

[Pauleta14]

Ok it's getting funny now..

[urunobili]

[NASpurs]

guys don't get mad it brings good vibes....







Choooo Chooo!!!!

:cry How dare you! Leave Gary Neal alone! :cry

[Spurs Brazil]

terrible transition

[Killakobe81]

AK is hustling but man he used to be soo much better offensively he is a good player but at $18 mill he is STEALING money ...

Nice pass by Dwill

[TampaDude]

Smart timeout by Pop...kill the Jazz momentum.

[urunobili]

TP's decision making feels SO crisp today :tu

[jestersmash]

Let it be known the Spurs are by no means a 3 point shooting team. The Jazz are giving us wide open or reasonably open 3 pointers. It would be foolish for any team not to take those shots.

[WeNeedLength]

I wonder if we are going to let up now that we have a lead like in the 1st quarter...

[Pauleta14]

good timeout...

[Spurologist]

The microwave ver.2 is cooking..FEED him the ball

[007nites]

Timmy getting some valuable rest.

[Killakobe81]

Parker is torching Dwill and anyone else on him ... Spurs run some nice sets, combined with his speed tough to keep him out the paint and that floater is sweet ...

[NASpurs]

I wonder if we are going to let up now that we have a lead like in the 1st quarter...

Hey it's the Spurs, so of course they will!

[CFH]

Can't piss away this lead

[TampaDude]

Either the Spurs will be up by 20+ at the half, or they will blow the lead completely.

[CFH]

Come on Blair

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

more neal please. i wanna see him go off

[awktalk]

Neal:
7:45 min
13 pts
3/3 fg
6/7 FT

fuggin 7 throws in 7 min? dude is a stud.

[NASpurs]

Teams are sniffing that RJ lob a mile away nowadays.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

DB hobbled

[tdunk21]

bad D

[ace3g]

jeez now Blair goes tumbling

[Tp9gospursgo]

Jefferson with the strong move....

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes RJ

[tdunk21]

timmy D bank

[CFH]

RJ tip-in

[Libri]

RJ tip in

[DesignatedT]

there you go rj

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ again!

[tdunk21]

good RJ

[Killakobe81]

AL jeff with the facial he also had a nice block earlier on Tim ...

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

nice pass dejuanito

[CFH]

RJ again!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice!

[Libri]

good job RJ

[Spurologist]

Rj!!

[TIMMYD!]

Blair has some great hands.

[NASpurs]

What's the point of letting the ball roll like that? I find that so annoying nowadays. It's not like they need extra time.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

F yeah nice pass tim

[tdunk21]

timmy to TP

[CFH]

Parker!

[TIMMYD!]

But not as good as Tim's.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Beautiful backdoor cut and pass.

[duncan228]

Duncan looking good. Knee seems fine.

[Killakobe81]

Al Jeff doing work down low ...

[TampaDude]

BS foul...

[Killakobe81]

Beautiful backdoor cut and pass.

That was a great pass ...

[NASpurs]

Blair is sucking the big one right now.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony!!!!!!!!

[tdunk21]

damn TP floater

[Tp9gospursgo]

Tony is on fire tonight!!!

[dbestpro]

Seem to be picking on Blair.

[CFH]

Parker is killing em

[TampaDude]

Wow...TP's floater is just ridonkulous!

[DesignatedT]

stop going under the screens against dwill.

[DPG21920]

Spurs have decided to stop playing defense. They are not getting any stops now.

[Spurologist]

Neal misses his easiest shot of the night. DAMN

[DesignatedT]

yeah this isn't blairs best game. playing poor defensively tonight.

[TampaDude]

Hope Blair is okay...we're gonna need him healthy down the stretch.

[Killakobe81]

Wow...TP's floater is just ridonkulous!

I'm trying to think who had a better floater than Parker ...GP? I say Parker has the best but Im drawing a blank ...

[Banzai]

Hope Blair is okay...we're gonna need him healthy down the stretch.

What happened?

[Danny.Zhu]

What happened?

[NASpurs]

The Jazz need to have a cutman tonight.

[DPG21920]

Al Jeff is playing really, really well.

[DesignatedT]

that wasn't even close to a foul but okay.

[DPG21920]

17 point lead down to 9

[Crookshanks]

Spurs need to step up the defense. Utah is starting to get easy looks.

[Pauleta14]

WTF was Tony hoping against Jefferson??!!!!

[dbestpro]

The defense was much better with Tiago and Dice than it is with Timmy and Blair.

[Ice009]

Spurs playing silly here.

[tdunk21]

TP to dice

[CFH]

Parker to Dice

[tdunk21]

timmyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice

[TampaDude]

Sweet ball movement by the Spurs there!!!

[dbestpro]

Dice is nice.

[CFH]

Great ball movement on that Duncan layup

[Ice009]

Did the commentator just say that Utah is shooting 54%?????

Are teams having that many hot nights against us or is our defense just not that good? I can't believe the amount of times teams shoot insane percentages against us.

[DPG21920]

Man, Dice really has some spring in his legs right now. I mean he looks explosive at times.

[tdunk21]

lol...utah fouling on almost every play

[Spurologist]

tp shoulda gone for the floater there

[DesignatedT]

damnit dice.

[CFH]

Dice misses both free throws, uggggggggggggggggh...

[WeNeedLength]

WTF is wrong with Dice and his freethrows??

[TIMMYD!]

It's a wonder that for how good McDyess' jumper is, he sucks at FTs.

[Killakobe81]

Al Jeff scoring at will but cant protect the paint

[TampaDude]

Damn, Dice...

[NASpurs]

Tony usually loses the ball when the time winds down so that wasn't odd.

[Banzai]

Spurs doing fine.

[timtonymanu]

horrible. let that lead trim to single digits.

[DPG21920]

Wow, what a pass from DWill. Spurs had a big let down after the run, but to be expected. Very good half.

[CFH]

Should be a double digit lead, defense needs to pick up in the 2nd half

[DesignatedT]

good half. you knew utah would make a run seeing how hard they are playing. They are giving serious effort out there but something seems wrong with that team.

[ShoogarBear]

Spurs giving up too many dunks.

[yavozerb]

What the hell is up with jefferson? bad defense or just good offensive execution

[Pauleta14]

Tony is alterning great plays and dumb decisions...

so frustrating, we should have a bigger lead

[Crookshanks]

Glad the half is over. Spurs need to calm down and regroup - their defense started slipping in the last 5 minutes.

[Ice009]

How many times are we going to fuck up end of quarter plays.

I don't care if you miss, just get a decent shot up for once.

[TampaDude]

9-point lead...should be 13-14 points. Oh, well...gotta play better D.

[Spurologist]

great first half by tp. As he would've said in his first few years in the league, "I was in attack mode"

[slayermin]

Jefferson seems like he always kills us. Him, Mark Blount, and until the last game, Amare always seems to light it up whenever they see the Spurs.

[jestersmash]

DWill 19 min.
AK47 20 min.
Big Al 17 min.

TP 15 min.
Gino 13 min.
Duncan 14 min.

[ducks]

when is the last time manu made a shot at the end of the quarter or for the sake the the spurs

[Banzai]

Jefferson seems like he always kills us. Him, Mark Blount, and until the last game, Amare always seems to light it up whenever they see the Spurs.

He still plays?

[TampaDude]

Jazz gave up almost 60 points in the first half. Spurs should win this game.

[yavozerb]

when is the last time manu made a shot at the end of the quarter or for the sake the the spurs

whens the last time you said anything worthwhile...:rolleyes

[NASpurs]

when is the last time manu made a shot at the end of the quarter or for the sake the the spurs

He just won a couple of games at the buzzer this year. Nothing special. When's the last time Tony didn't lose the ball finishing the quarter?

[jestersmash]

when is the last time manu made a shot at the end of the quarter or for the sake the the spurs

...All the fucking time?

[ducks]

He just won a couple of games at the buzzer this year. Nothing special. When's the last time Tony didn't lose the ball finishing the quarter?

manu has not hit a end of the quarter shot since then

[TampaDude]

Damn...Love has 31 straight dub-dubs...

[ducks]

durant owned him

[TampaDude]

durant owned him

Yeah...KD is the fucking man.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

when is the last time manu made a shot at the end of the quarter or for the sake the the spurs

When was the last time you posted something that wasn't utter crap?

[Pauleta14]

great first half by tp. As he would've said in his first few years in the league, "I was in attack mode"


He needs to "capitalize" more on his good plays...

3 TO and some lazy plays..

He still had a good half though

[Killakobe81]

Jefferson seems like he always kills us. Him, Mark Blount, and until the last game, Amare always seems to light it up whenever they see the Spurs.

Really? Maybe that is why Spur fans overrate him. He is good some nice post moves, but Im not impressed.

[Pauleta14]

when is the last time manu made a shot at the end of the quarter or for the sake the the spurs


Why do you always have to oppose them???!!!! :bang

Neal should have had the last shot

[ducks]

He needs to "capitalize" more on his good plays...

3 TO and some lazy plays..

He still had a good half though

one turnover was blairs fault

should not have stepted out of bounce
the other one was manu fault
he did not move toward the ball and the other guy got the ball

[jestersmash]

:lol TP's turnvoers are now Ginobili's fault. Ok, got it.

[Pauleta14]

one turnover was blairs fault

should not have stepted out of bounce
the other one was manu fault
he did not move toward the ball and the other guy got the ball


He was very good, no question about that...
But don't you have notice that he tend to get loose sometimes instead of using the momentum?

+ I noticed since a few games, he tend to come back from the bench cold, it happened again tonight..

[ducks]

one of them was

[Pauleta14]

:lol TP's turnvoers are now Ginobili's fault. Ok, got it.


and Blair's and the line's... :lol

[TampaDude]

I'd like to see the Spurs pull away here in the 3rd...I don't want another heart attack game.

[DMC]

one turnover was blairs fault

should not have stepted out of bounce
the other one was manu fault
he did not move toward the ball and the other guy got the ball
You must be Tony's mom.

It was Tony's fault. He passed too late. He should have hit Blair two steps earlier.

[jestersmash]

Pauleta14 and ducks are like the yin and yang of Parker fans. Pauleta14 is level-headed and reasonable. ducks is well...you get the picture.

[CFH]

Blair tough shot

[tdunk21]

Db

[TampaDude]

Nice Blair...

[SenorSpur]

Regardless of score, the Spurs interior defense is simply atrocious.

[ohmwrecker]

Really? Maybe that is why Spur fans overrate him. He is good some nice post moves, but Im not impressed.

These game threads are full of overreactions and random hyperbole. Everything is always and never. Every player who has ever laced sneakers is a Spurkiller.

[dbestpro]

Williams too big and strong for Parker.

[tdunk21]

nice DB

[CFH]

Blair putback!

[dbestpro]

These game threads are full of overreactions and random hyperbole. Everything is always and never. Every player who has ever laced sneakers is a Spurkiller.

That never happens except always.

[TIMMYD!]

Tim And-1!

[TampaDude]

Timmy and 1!!!

[tdunk21]

timmy and 1

[Tp9gospursgo]

and 1 timmy!

[CFH]

Timmy bank AND 1!

[Libri]

vintage Tim with that banker

[CFH]

Can't convert the AND 1 though

[TIMMYD!]

Williams with an and-1 right back at us.

[CFH]

Williams with another AND 1, ugh...

[DesignatedT]

you gotta send the help quicker then that........

[TampaDude]

The Jazz would be a basement team without D Will.

[dbestpro]

Blair was waiting for TP to say dial 911.

[CFH]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[tdunk21]

amazing manu

[TIMMYD!]

Williams killing us with 8 in the quarter and we've only played 3 minutes.

[timtonymanu]

The D is so atrocious

[CFH]

Williams getting everything this quarter

[DesignatedT]

these are all obvious fouls. this team is not making smart plays and the crowd is retarded.

[Spurologist]

that was a carry by manu before the block

[dbestpro]

Utah has a real strange notion of defense.

[TIMMYD!]

The Jazz are already in the penalty. We have to attack and get more fouls.

[CFH]

Whistles being blown every possession

[jestersmash]

Raja going vintage Ginobili on that flop.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Whats with all the whistles?

[DesignatedT]

manu tressssssssssssss

[TIMMYD!]

Manu 3333333333333333333333333333333

[TampaDude]

Manu with the FUCK YOU 3!!!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu!

[CFH]

Manu tressssssssssssss!

[tdunk21]

manu 3

[Spurologist]

mmmmmmmaaaaannnnnuuuuu 33333333333333333333

[timtonymanu]

Manu 33333333333

[Libri]

Manu 3, yes!

[TIMMYD!]

Al Jefferson is amazing on the low block. If only he could play defense.

[CFH]

Timmy J

[tdunk21]

damn good shot timmy

[ohmwrecker]

I didn't expect Manu to make that.

[TampaDude]

Timmy swish!!!

[CFH]

Just trading baskets

[Werdsniper2]

Man the Spurs are shooting good tonight. Nice bench production too.

[TampaDude]

How was that not a fucking foul???

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't remember the last time Timmy faced-up from that angle, pivoted, and took a regular jump shot:lol..he must be feeling nice..

Williams and TP going at it in this game, Spurs need to stop letting D-Will take open jump shots, adjust to the screens..

[Tp9gospursgo]

That looked like a foul to me

[Spurologist]

:lmao @ Manu's reaction

[Pauleta14]

It's a disgrace...

[jestersmash]

Friendly no-whistle for the Jazz on that one. Ginobili blatantly fouled on that drive.

[ohmwrecker]

Sloan must have got into the refs at halftime.

[DesignatedT]

missed call right there.

[GinobiliForTres]

How was that not a fucking foul???

Spurs @ Utah

[tdunk21]

:lmao @ Manu's reaction

:lol

[Hemotivo]

dude slaps manu's left hand
no call
:wtf

[Capt Bringdown]

Lotsa Utah home cooking on that no-call.

[TampaDude]

D Will is keeping the Jazz in this game. I'd love to have him on the Spurs.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Sloan must have got into the refs at halftime.

gets who now?

[jestersmash]

They call everything for our rookie Gary Neal early on, but they're not giving Ginobili his usual "star calls" even when it's blatant :lol

[Cessation]

That ref if fucking blind. These jazz can't play d they foul almost every posetion, I think refs just dont call them at times, to keep the game moving.

[dbestpro]

Dice needs to be ready for extra minutes come the playoffs. Blair will get about 10 minutes a game and Splitter won't be allowed to see the floor.

[jestersmash]

D Will is keeping the Jazz in this game. I'd love to have him on the Spurs.

Yeah you and literally every other fan of every other team in the league. Seriously now :lol. He's Deron fucking Williams of course we'd love to have him :lol

[TampaDude]

That ref if fucking blind. These jazz can't play d they foul almost every posetion, I think refs just dont call them at times, to keep the game moving.

We need to make sure we have a good lead going into the last few minutes of the game, to avoid any hosejob by the refs.

[ohmwrecker]

gets who now?

Pardon?

[tdunk21]

come on timmy

[Spurologist]

mmmanuuu and1!

[CFH]

Manu AND 1! Got the foul call that time

[TampaDude]

Yeah you and literally every other fan of every other team in the league. Seriously now :lol. He's Deron fucking Williams of course we'd love to have him :lol

I just can't hate on D Will. I like the guy.

[duncan228]

I am so glad Duncan is okay.

[TampaDude]

Manu converts the and 1...yes!

[jestersmash]

Ball don't lie. Making up for that awful no call earlier.

[tdunk21]

i am so glad duncan is okay.

+1

[Capt Bringdown]

Kirolenko & Tom Chambers: Separated at birth?

[Pauleta14]

The big3 is on the bench...

edit/ tony came bck

[TampaDude]

RJ sucks.

[dbreiden83080]

fuckin killing me Jefferson..

[dbestpro]

Need to attack the basket with the Spurs in the bonus. Outside shots are letting Utah off.

[DPG21920]

Bad call. That was not a foul.

[TampaDude]

D Will taking over.

[WeNeedLength]

RJ sucks.

Indeed. Guy's shooting percentages are dropping like a rock.

[ohmwrecker]

Kirilenko is a ghoul.

[dbreiden83080]

keep attacking Tony..

[Capt Bringdown]

Dice needs to be ready for extra minutes come the playoffs. Blair will get about 10 minutes a game and Splitter won't be allowed to see the floor.

Yep, exactly.

[DPG21920]

RJ has been a non factor overall the last 12 games or so.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Good call.

[tdunk21]

lol AK foul

[TampaDude]

Wow...this game may set a record for total foul calls. :lol

[GinobiliForTres]

Kirilenko is a ghoul.

Dude has the highest arching free throw i've ever seen.

shut the fuck up utah crowd.

[CFH]

Dice AND 1!

[tdunk21]

cool dice

[TIMMYD!]

Man this game has so many fucking And-1's.

[DesignatedT]

lol williams is trying so hard out there. i feel for the guy.

[dbestpro]

Dice is nice Part Deux

[TampaDude]

Dice and 1!!!
