Gregg Popovich on Tim Duncan:


“I think he’s going to be all right. He just kind of hyperextended it, but he said it felt good, worked it out and said it was good. He’s his own best judge.”

[greyforest]

jazz home court is always a big bitch cause the jazz always foul the shit outa everybody and get away with it

[Fireball]

At the beginning of the year I expected this one to be a loss, but the Jazz are 3-7 in the last 10 and we already defeated them once on their home floor ...

:flag::flag::flag:

[silverblackfan]

First of all just let Duncan be alright.
The Jazz should be pretty motivated, so hopefully the team matches their energy. If they do that, this should be a good win.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

the jazz are two completely different teams at home and on the road, they shoot all out at home and the spurs should really start playing defense as soon as the ball is tipped...

:flag::flag::flag:

[Giuseppe]

I fervently hope & pray that the Jazz spill your plums all over SLC.

Please, God.

Game on ESPN here in Brazil

[Cry Havoc]

I'm definitely writing either game grades or detailed thoughts on tonight, unless something unforeseen happens.

[Mugen]

i see this game being a lot like the Mavs/Lakers game a week ago.

Jazz are coming off 5 losses in a row and will be desperate to get a win at home.

very tough game for the spurs IMO.

Cara, vai ser tarde, ne? Eu lembro ficando acordado tarde de vez em quando para asistir uns jogos. No ano passado eu assinei League Pass International e valeu a pena...so que os Spurs foram meio fracos!

Agora estamos morando em San Antonio. Morei 10 anos no Brasil, cara!

Um forte abraco para voce.

It's okay to be scared, Giuseppe.

[gameFACE]

Crazy! I'm in SLC. I'm gonna see if I can work it out to go. Any spurs fans here that are going?

0h30 no Brasil

Espero ver o Tiago jogando pelo menos uns 20 minutos hoje. :flag:

[HarlemHeat37]

Millsap is questionable, but apparently the lean is towards him sitting out..game-time decision..

Spurs should win this game either way..Utah is finally at home, but the first game back @ home after a long road trip often means a shaky start for that team..Utah is slumping, their players are unhappy and there are chemistry issues..there's no reason for the Spurs to lose this game..

[Tp9gospursgo]

Go Spurs Go! TP vs. DWill

[duncan228]

Quick update on Bonner injury. Not exactly "bone bruise." Something called "marrow adema." Doesn't change timetable or recovery options.

[duncan228]

For fourth time in four games, Jerry Sloan changing starting lineup. Kirilenko back in the starting 5, replacing CJ Miles.

[Dex]

For those of us who are not doctors:


Edema, or the inflammation causing excess fluid in the bone marrow, is only a symptom. In other words, in order for this condition to be present, there must be an underlying cause. Bone marrow changes due to bone marrow edema can occur with incidences like fractures, a break in the continuity of the bone, ligament injuries where a trauma is sustained to the connective tissue which connects the bone to the muscle, bone bruises, and synovitis. Synovitis is the inflammation of the synovial membrane, or the lining of joints. This excessive fluid buildup can also occur with conditions such as osteoarthritis, a joint disorder caused by wear and tear, osteoporosis or softening of the bone, ischemia, a decrease of blood flow, and tumors.

Is Millsap playing?

[NASpurs]

Is Millsap playing?

Yeah he is.

[NRHector]

damn tough crow, already booing:wow

[NASpurs]

Maybe Tony should look around instead of straight ahead. He just missed an open Manu.

[tdunk21]

good shot TP

[duncan228]

Sounds like there are some Spurs fans there.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Not a bad start.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu tres!

[tdunk21]

manu 3333

[GinobiliForTres]

Not a bad start.

Very nice to see Manu knock that down.

[Bukefal]

:flag::flag::flag:

[WeNeedLength]

Hopefully Timmy doesn't get in foul trouble. If Splitter plays a lot, he will be fouled out in no time in this arena.

[Banzai]

Odd..usually the chat room is full by now. Where is everyone?

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

AK47 gets a hallpass once a yr

[TampaDude]

Spurs started out great then got sloppy. The Spurs won't win this game if they play sloppy...this is a Jazz team that just lost their last 5 games and are back home and super hungry for a win. The Spurs better bring their A game for 48 minutes tonight.

[Pauleta14]

Bad offense AND bad defense... RJ brings NOTHING!!!!!

[TampaDude]

[Pauleta14]

I hate this substitution! I want to see how Blair plays right now. He looks seriously pissed.


Wise move by Pop, don't give them what they're looking for...

[jestersmash]

Good opportunity to grow a bit more for Splitter.

[Pauleta14]

Just thought the same thing


As much as I would love too, we have to admit CIA Pop is right, don't give them any adrenaline...

[DesignatedT]

[GinobiliForTres]

And then he bitches on the other end.

Is there anything that the Spurs do besides lose that this crowd won't boo about?

[erikuff]

we need williams on this team somehow

[TampaDude]

Despite some sloppiness, we're up by 4 at the end of the 1st. I'll take it.

[WeNeedLength]

nice foul lol

I love how AFTER the jazz fans see the replay, they boo even louder like it wasn't even close to a foul. LOL homers....

[007nites]

It was a foul but it wasn't on Williams. I think thats why they were booing.

[awktalk]

Nice start, great intensity on defense despite a few mistakes. Pretty good execution on offense, shot 50% thx to TP

[TampaDude]

LOL @ the Garnier Fructis commercial...

[007nites]

I want to see Duncan take Okur or Milsap in the post next quarter. I think Timmy has the advantage in the paint.

[tdunk21]

LOL @ the Garnier Fructis commercial...

[timtonymanu]

Neal is abusing the Jazz defenders. I like it!

[CFH]

[awktalk]

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.
