Game Blog: Spurs @ Jazz - Jan. 26

[DPG21920]

Dice with a nice finish off the Tony Nash pass.

[Cessation]

have you ever seen this many three point plays?

[Banzai]

good win Spurs.

[ShoogarBear]

Jerry Sloan's entire defensive strategy has always been to foul on every play because they won't call them all.

[Blake]

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

no kidding. the game might go to midnight cst

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

amazing passing tonite

[DPG21920]

Good defense and boarding there.

[tdunk21]

bad pass TP

[TampaDude]

Wow...ugliness by both teams there.

[timtonymanu]

TP and DWill with ugly TOs

[dbestpro]

That was nice trip.

[DPG21920]

TP is beasting inside.

[erikuff]

we're getting almost too many calls haha

[TIMMYD!]

Rj 33333333333333333333333333333333333

[tdunk21]

[CFH]

Rj 3!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Finally Rj with the 3!

[Spurologist]

RRRRRRJjjjjjjjjjjj 3333333333333333333333

[DesignatedT]

Rj 33333333333333333333333333333333333

[timtonymanu]

There we go RJ

[TampaDude]

BOOOOOM!!!!! RJ with the DAGGER!!!!!

[DPG21920]

RJ finally hits. Good ball movement and spacing and RJ knocked it down.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

yessss RJ

[Cessation]

rj with the dagger

[dbreiden83080]

Dice AND 1!

He's played so well this year..

[Capt Bringdown]

'bout time RJ.

[Banzai]

Lakers/Spurs both putting a thrashing on the Jazz.

[timtonymanu]

I knew RJ was gonna hit that.

[DesignatedT]

Tony making his best case for the all star game. total beast tonight.

[Spurologist]

RJ sucks.

come again?

[san antonio spurs]

TP with the assists:toast

[jestersmash]

If you think this game has an exorbitant amount of foul calls, you obviously haven't watched a Denver game.

[dbestpro]

I knew RJ was gonna hit that.

Me too, right after it went through the net.

[slayermin]

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

shut the fuck up utah crowd.

Reminds me of Jamal Keith Wilkes.

[Crookshanks]

Jazz are losing it - let's hope things don't get really physical.

[Cessation]

you haters need to get of dick j's wang, its obvious he's playing hard out there, defence, rebounding, despite shooting poorly

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Very comprehensive display so far. :tu

The Jazz need to decide who they want to play. Millsap is way out of sorts - give him the 38mins he deserves and they're a better team.

[jestersmash]

DWill and Al Jefferson effectively neutralized by Parker and Ginobili in scoring/efficiency. Ball game decided by everyone else. This is where the depth of the Spurs come into play.

[DesignatedT]

Jazz are losing it - let's hope things don't get really physical.

It sure seems like it's heading that way. They have been overly physical all game and you can tell they are frustrated.

[Pauleta14]

we're getting almost too many calls haha

stupid compensations... :bang

good for us tonight though :lol

[dbestpro]

Jazz are losing it - let's hope things don't get really physical.

They tried, but the officials are calling the game too close.

[TampaDude]

come again?

Heh, yeah, really...he partially redeemed himself with that 3.

[Killakobe81]

Good win Spurs, game over. You guys are playing great ball right now. Look like a blowout ...Spurs should move up in Hollinger rankings!!! yipee ...

[ducks]

like the announcers said tp should have 12-13 assist

how he is hitting open people

[DesignatedT]

nice play. c'mon rj you know better then that

[ohmwrecker]

9pts 4rbs 50%fg . . . complete non-factor

[Killakobe81]

This Evans kid has springs ...

[Pauleta14]

No no no no noooooo rj!!!

[ShoogarBear]

GSpurs should move up in Hollinger rankings!!! yipee ...

lol

[Tp9gospursgo]

Damnit RJ!

[Crookshanks]

They tried, but the officials are calling the game too close.

Yeah - but the Jazz have been known to deliver some really hard fouls when they get frustrated. I just don't want anyone to get hurt.

[TIMMYD!]

Another and-1! What the fuck!

[timtonymanu]

Jesus Christ. Two and-1s for them

[CFH]

B2B AND 1's, agggggggggggggggggh

[Tp9gospursgo]

Fml

[DesignatedT]

they are playing too hard to just go away, especially at home. keep the foot on the gas pedal guys

[TampaDude]

Single digit lead at the end of the 3rd. Book it.

[DPG21920]

I have never seen so many and 1's in my life.

[Spurologist]

Heh, yeah, really...he partially redeemed himself with that 3.

RJ sucks. :lol

[Crookshanks]

Another and-1! What the fuck!

Refs are pretty whistle happy tonight.

[Ice009]

RJ needs to start playing better. I AM GOING To start getting on him now.

TIME to fucking pick it up RJ.

[dbestpro]

Spurs should be attacking the basket while in the bonus.

[TampaDude]

Single digit lead at the end of the 3rd. Book it.

[TIMMYD!]

From 19 to 10 in 2 minutes. Fuck.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

9-0 holy shit

[CFH]

10 point lead, FUCK

[timtonymanu]

Fuck. Can you guys quit playing dumb for two minutes?

[DPG21920]

Jazz right back in it. Game of runs like usual. RJ can't answer.

[Ice009]

Why the fuck did RJ get out of the way. FUCKING gave him an AND1.

STEP UP RICHARD.

[Crookshanks]

Crap - Spurs had blown this open and then they let up and now it's down to 10.

[tdunk21]

damn it RJ

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Lol, they call on Neal the exact same foul the Jazz did on Manu on the other end (of course, that one wasn't called)

Fuck Mormons, fuck Salt Lake City

Always the fucking same
Refs sucking Sloan's balls

[ohmwrecker]

Miles is too big and strong for Neal.

[TIMMYD!]

8 points. Fuck me.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:lol the crowd

[Capt Bringdown]

End of quarter woes continue...

[timtonymanu]

Every time I see shit like this, it's so fuckin discouraging.

[DesignatedT]

thanks watson. we needed that

[duncan228]

That got ugly quick.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Wow Utah no giving in yet.

[TampaDude]

HA HA told all you fuckers...Manu will not hit both of these FTs.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

*sigh*

[007nites]

They are feeding on the fans

[DPG21920]

There are always runs in basketball, but when you can't play defense for 48 minutes, you are really susceptible to them. Spurs need to really tighten it up. They need to start making bigger strides on defense.

[timtonymanu]

RJ put the game away. Then he gave it back. Fuckin focus Richard.

[tdunk21]

this utah crowd is so annoying

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

HA HA told all you fuckers...Manu will not hit both of these FTs.
?

[TampaDude]

Wow...we pissed away half our lead...we will NOT win the Championship with this crappy D.

[jestersmash]

:lmao stupid Utah rookie thinking he's going to get a charge against fucking Manu Ginobili in that situation.

[CFH]

Crappy end to that quarter, gotta come out strong in the 4th and put em away

[Ice009]

What is RJ doing the last 3 weeks. This guy is in SPACE CADET MODE.

Playing awful basketball offensively and making dumb decisions.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spoke too soon! :oops

[DesignatedT]

Every time I see shit like this, it's so fuckin discouraging.

this team has lost 5 in a row and are finally back at home. they desperately need a win and have been trying very hard all game. they aren't just going to drift away at home. the way we have continued to keep it above a 10 pt game so far is actually very ENCOURAGING given the circumstances.

[TampaDude]

?

Murphy's Law

[Ice009]

What is RJ doing the last 3 weeks. This guy is in SPACE CADET MODE.

Playing awful basketball offensively and making dumb decisions.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Wow...we pissed away half our lead...we will NOT win the Championship with this crappy D.

.....

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

that lead got cut in half in like 2 mins..

[urunobili]

good win Spurs.

stop jinxing it plz

[Crookshanks]

this utah crowd is so annoying

I think they have the worst fans in the league. Isn't that where the fans were throwing stuff on the floor and at the Spurs during the playoffs one year? Or was that Denver? They both have sucky fans! :lol

[timtonymanu]

this utah crowd is so annoying

Horrible fans. I have no respect for them after the shit they pulled when the Spurs beat the Jazz in Game 4 of the 07 WCF.

[Cessation]

the fans butthurt is rubbing of on the refs it appears

[slayermin]

C'Mon, Dick!

[TampaDude]

this team has lost 5 in a row and are finally back at home. they desperately need a win and have been trying very hard all game. they aren't just going to drift away at home. the way we have continued to keep it above a 10 pt game so far is actually very ENCOURAGING given the circumstances.

True...typical big-lead sloppiness by the Spurs...nothing new here...

[Capt Bringdown]

Wow...we pissed away half our lead...we will NOT win the Championship with this crappy D.

We have a hard time exploiting big leads, which means our starters have to play more minutes. That might sneak up and bite us in the ass later down the road.

[HarlemHeat37]

Horrible end to the quarter, luckily, Earl Watson is an idiot..

Spurs are overplaying the penetration too much, showing too much respect to mediocre players..none of those Jazz players can make plays for their teammates, barely for themselves, no sense in giving them easy options for passes..

Offense is fine, getting any shots they want, just have to make them, obviously..keep the penetration going, Utah has nothing inside..

[Ice009]

HA HA told all you fuckers...Manu will not hit both of these FTs.

So you want our guys to miss free throws? Are you happy about that?

[dbestpro]

:lmao stupid Utah rookie thinking he's going to get a charge against fucking Manu Ginobili in that situation.

31 year old Earl Watson is still a rookie? Who knew?

[ducks]

jazz had their run knew they would do one

now lets go

[awktalk]

Who pissed in the Mormon bowl of cheerios? Jeezus these fans are such complainers. Booing their own team and then bandwagoning when they go on a run. Bitches.

[TampaDude]

If we end up losing this game, it will be devastating.

That said, I think we win by 13-14 points.

[spurastic]

Expected run, that's all. Didn't expect Jazz to roll up the rug did cha?

[DesignatedT]

these guys are going to come out super fired up to start the 4th. we really need to get this back up to 16 quick.

[jestersmash]

RJ has become so complacent after he realized that we have a deep team and we don't actually need him to consistently score. Stop...that...

Couldn't hit a wide wide fucking open 3 set up from Gino. Just irritating. Neal would've nailed it.

[tdunk21]

horrible D

[TampaDude]

So you want our guys to miss free throws? Are you happy about that?

No...I was worried he would miss them.

[dbestpro]

Spectator defense.

[TampaDude]

Spurs gonna lose.

[CFH]

And a turnover, uggggggggggggh...

[jestersmash]

31 year old Earl Watson is still a rookie? Who knew?

:lol my bad. I meant "Utah nobody"

[CFH]

Dice J

[tdunk21]

good shot dice

[DesignatedT]

good shot dice

[TampaDude]

Dice is absolute $$$ with that J.

[DPG21920]

Spurs have SO much work to do defensively. Even though they are winning and have been leading, it is with their offense.

Lets see if they can turn it on in the 4th defensively.

[Danny.Zhu]

Let Splitter play...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fuck that dude

[DesignatedT]

stupid shot manu. get him out and put tony in.

[timtonymanu]

All started with Evans and1.

[HarlemHeat37]

Manu with a really stupid pass to Blair, then takes a stupid 3-pointer..let's get Timmy and TP in..

[Spurologist]

who the fuck is Evans...his one move is a dunk

[DPG21920]

No answer for Williams. It's on Pop. He has to adjust.

[TampaDude]

Deron Willliams will win this game for the Jazz if we don't do something.

[WeNeedLength]

Jazz have all the momentum. Spurs need to start playing defense or this one could slip away...

[CFH]

Stop fouling

[Ice009]

Wow Spurs defense is playing BAD.

Let's GO SPURS.

[TIMMYD!]

Foul after foul after foul. We need to stay on the floor and not fall for their fakes.

[timtonymanu]

Come on Tim. That was wide open.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This game has turned into a total disaster.

[TampaDude]

Spurs have hit the wall. This one's over.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

settle down damn it..

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs melting down.

[dbreiden83080]

Spurs have hit the wall. This one's over.

They'll be fine..

[dbestpro]

Spurs starting to play tight. Time for some Neal 4th quarter threes.

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs need to attack the fucking rim, stop settling for jump shots..I know this team is a jump-shooting team, but they attacked the paint in the 1st half, they have to keep doing it..

[Spurologist]

unfuckingbelievable....the wheels are off

we can't even make open buckets....pick and roll with manu/tp must be run

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Why the fuck are the Spurs overplaying every single penetration?

The Jazz aren't a great shooting team. Let them shoot jumpers, deny the penetration, specially with these home-cooking whistle-happy refs...

[DPG21920]

Spurs have hit the wall. This one's over.

:lol You sound like DesT.

[Crookshanks]

Well this is a fine mess! Spurs really got sloppy and now the Jazz are right back in this game and so are the annoying fans.

[DesignatedT]

lol utah is playing so physical. clearly fouling

[DesignatedT]

wow tony. wow

[Amuseddaysleeper]

HUGE 3 by Parker!

[CFH]

Parker 3!

[timtonymanu]

TP clutch

[tdunk21]

daaaaaamnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Capt Bringdown]

Get Manu out of there.

[Spurologist]

tttttppppppppp 3333333333333333333333

[nadroj117]

Parker pull up 3... wow

[ShoogarBear]

Hokey smokes, Tony.

[TampaDude]

TP HUGE!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

TP!!! damnnnnn

[DesignatedT]

fucking manu. give the FUCKING BALL TO TONY.

[Crookshanks]

Damn - this is getting ugly

[WeNeedLength]

WTF happened??!?? Is ginobili injured???!

[CFH]

Really Manu? Ugggggggggggggggh...

[Death In June]

Fuck, hope Manu is alright.

[tdunk21]

omg....manu hurt?

[TampaDude]

Manu slipped...crap...Spurs will lose by 1 or 2. Book it.

[ducks]

manu learn to walk

[024]

wtf was ginobili doing

[timtonymanu]

Manu, let Tony take over.

[dbestpro]

George Hill dogging it on getting back. He should have been able to contest that layup.

[Spurologist]

perfect time for ducks to chime in about manu

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

looks like manu hurt his ankle

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

are hubie and that other guy gonna nut their pants if the jizz cut this lead down any more or what

[siraulo23]

whatever happens in this game

no injuriesssssssssssss basketball godssss

[Ice009]

Great shot TP. Bad luck Manu.

[Whisky Dog]

This is a needed timeout. Regroup and string a few makes and stops and get it back to 11+. Make them keep having to expend energy on runs and they'll run out of them.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

manu learn to walk

I sincerely hope you get run over by a car

[DesignatedT]

let tony win us this game. stop manu. just stop. sit at the 3 pt line and shoot 3s since that's all you can pretty much do right now anyway

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu is putting on quite a display of stupidity tonight.

[dbestpro]

lol utah is playing so physical. clearly fouling

You get away with that in the NBA when your team is playing harder.

[TampaDude]

Our defense is atrocious. The Lakers will destroy us if we play like this.

[ducks]

I sincerely hope you get run over by a car

you have internet there on your 386 windows 98 computer

[Hemotivo]

Manu, let Tony take over.

:lol

[FvckMavs]

manu learn to walk

STFU, Bitch

[Spurologist]

hopefully manu's ok to continue....seemed innocuous but he could've hurt his ankle there

[DesignatedT]

Our defense is atrocious. The Lakers will destroy us if we play like this.

just like they did last time?

[Trainwreck2100]

i hate those dumbass" future" nba commercials

[TampaDude]

The Jazz are playing desperate...no lead is safe.

[jestersmash]

:lmao

Ginobili slips on the floor

"GUAHHH GAHH FUCKING MANU GAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAH SIT HIM FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON"

Never change, spurstalk :lol

Granted his 4th quarter overall has been uncharacteristically bad, but he slipped you ungrateful ingrates :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

The Spurs have not taken a FG attempt in the paint in this quarter..

[DesignatedT]

there you go timmy

[TampaDude]

Got lucky on that one.

[Spurologist]

thanks you Miles

[Hemotivo]

you have internet there on your 386 windows 98 computer

98 cant run on a 386

[urunobili]

that's another assist for Manu u fucking idiots

[tdunk21]

why is RJ checkin in?

[Hemotivo]

let tony win us this game. stop manu. just stop. sit at the 3 pt line and shoot 3s since that's all you can pretty much do right now anyway

:rollin

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

you have internet there on your 386 windows 98 computer

Do you have a special computer for the mentally retarded?

[Crookshanks]

Our defense is atrocious. The Lakers will destroy us if we play like this.

You are such a pessimist - I bet you're a hoot at parties.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol evans, should have dunked that one

[Spurologist]

Excellent dunk defense by the spurs on Evans there

[dbestpro]

Duncan needs to stop shooting the bank tonight. He just ain't got it.

[DesignatedT]

ahh george. hit that 3 ball

[dbreiden83080]

i hate those dumbass" future" nba commercials

The Durant one is fuckin horrible..

[DesignatedT]

george or RJ.... you HAVE to hit those open 3s

[timtonymanu]

Come on Hill

[CFH]

Stop with the jumpers and 3's and attack dammit!

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck. Back to back 3 misses by GH.

[Capt Bringdown]

Get Neal in there.

[024]

oh man.. never thought i miss bonner so badly. he would have nailed those 3s.

[TampaDude]

You are such a pessimist - I bet you're a hoot at parties.

:lol

[HarlemHeat37]

jump shot, jump shot, jump shot..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What is RJ doing the last 3 weeks. This guy is in SPACE CADET MODE.

Playing awful basketball offensively and making dumb decisions.

Agreed. He's under the mistaken impression he's a good jumpshooter. Go to the freakin rack, RJ!

[urunobili]

jeez last three tries missed 3's come on guys drive!

[Tp9gospursgo]

RJ sucks.

[DPG21920]

RJ has to hit. Come on.

[DesignatedT]

damnit. getting good looks but now RJ and Hill have turned into Mason and Bogans

[ohmwrecker]

why is RJ checkin in?

Because the Spurs are playing shit D and RJ has played pretty good D tonight.

[dbreiden83080]

Every fuckin shot is a 3

[ShoogarBear]

Time to stop jacking up threes.

[timtonymanu]

Too many jump shots.

[Whisky Dog]

How many 3s in a row are we going to take?

Hill is playing so weak

[Pauleta14]

Please Pop, pt Neal in the game..

[dbestpro]

These guards need to stop moving and take the charge when Williams barges into the paint.

[Werdsniper2]

George Hill/Spurs have gone cold.

[Tp9gospursgo]

oh man.. never thought i miss bonner so badly. he would have nailed those 3s.

[urunobili]

RJ haters!

[TIMMYD!]

Finally someone hits a fucking jumper.

[Tp9gospursgo]

There we go RJ

[tdunk21]

yeah RJ...dont suck

[DesignatedT]

there you go RJ. keep shooting, don't think about it

[CFH]

RJ hits the J finally

[Spurologist]

RJ has to hit. Come on.

bingo

[ace3g]

RJ big shot

[HarlemHeat37]

Finally, a mid-range jump shot..at least they're moving closer to the paint:lol..

[Werdsniper2]

Hill two misses and a foul...unraveling.

[Ice009]

RJ can't hit a shot anymore. He is awful. He needs to attack otherwise how can we have him out there shooting 1-5, 1-6 from 3 point range every game.

[tdunk21]

what the fuck

[TampaDude]

Damn, TP... :lol

[TIMMYD!]

Another missed 3. STOP SHOOTING THEM!

[DesignatedT]

Ugh

[ShoogarBear]

Time to stop jacking up threes.

[urunobili]

no more 3's guys come on

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

uhhh oh

[Tp9gospursgo]

Bad shot by tony.

[DPG21920]

"TP just stop. Stop. Let Manu shoot because clearly you can't even hit the rim."

- DesignatedT

[01Snake]

Stop shooting fucking 3's!!!

[timtonymanu]

Live and die by the 3 as usual

[Cessation]

wow foul every play
