Game Blog: Spurs @ Jazz - Feb. 20

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo more Blair :( Leave Bonner and TIM

[ace3g]

big FTs from Kawhi!!!

[timtonymanu]

Who would want to meet and greet with RJ, tbh?

[rasho8]

I want to win that RJ meet and greet and tell him he sucks

[MI21]

Utah going with there foul as much as possible strategy, standard fare for the Jazz in Utah.

[BanditHiro]

god how do they keep making those shots

[loveforthegame]

I want to win that RJ meet and greet and tell him he sucks

:lol

[roycrikside]

That piece of shit by Miles went in?

[MI21]

lol at that non foul on Kanter

[HarlemHeat37]

I like a Duncan/Manu/TP/Splitter/Neal//Leonard playoff rotation..

I'm not confident in the playoff production from Bonner, Blair, Jefferson and Green..Spurs will require 3 of those 4 players to produce, though, unfortunately..

[roycrikside]

Spurs in penalty with 9:48 to go, so at least there's that.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

JA in

[rasho8]

5 down?

[roycrikside]

What the fuck is Green doing?

[BanditHiro]

danny green never got it together on offense tonight.

[jestersmash]

Pop calls "5 down," Danny Green recklessly runs into the lane and turns the ball over. All according to plan.

[ace3g]

get Green out of there, clearly not his night...

[rasho8]

LJ what is 5 down?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs just can't get over the hump.

[Texas_Ranger]

get green out. he sucks

[roycrikside]

well, they bought Tony three minutes of rest and are only down two.

[ace3g]

nice drive by JA!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck yeah Anderson, great move

[MannyIsGod]

Pretty shot by JA

[Bill_Brasky]

Anderson!!

[timtonymanu]

Let Anderson play!

[MI21]

Personally, I can't recall ever feeling like complaining about the refereeing as much as I have this year.

[Fireball]

TP with the chance to win it in the 4th again

[loveforthegame]

JA providing a nice spark off the bench.

[MI21]

lol JA doing a Ginobili

[Mugen]

TP/JA/Neal/Bon Bon/Timmy to finish this thing please, Pop.

[DPG21920]

Anderson playing well.

[MI21]

Great D JA

[Ditty]

I love you James Anderson!!

[BanditHiro]

why is everybody trying to knock us out of our streak

[timtonymanu]

Damn if only Anderson was playing better early on. I think he's a better player than Danny Green but he just hasn't had it this season.

[timvp]

If RJ retired, is there anyone out there that still thinks that the Spurs would be worse off?

[007nites]

Timmy needs to take that jumper

[Fireball]

Anderson with energy ... RJ in the doghouse

[BanditHiro]

TP/JA/Neal/Bon Bon/Timmy to finish this thing please, Pop.

have to add kawahi somewhere in there

[ace3g]

TP with his 3rd straight 10+ assist game

[roycrikside]

TP/JA/Neal/Bon Bon/Timmy to finish this thing please, Pop.

wouldn't mind Leonard being in that mix either.

[timtonymanu]

Anderson with energy ... RJ in the doghouse

RJ putting in his Game 6 of the Memphis series performance.

[roycrikside]

If RJ retired, is there anyone out there that still thinks that the Spurs would be worse off?

Once Manu is healthy for good, RJ has to be out of the rotation. Our young guys simply provide more effort.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Anderson liked quick on that drive. Where's that been all season

[GSH]

Millsap was in the paint that whole possession, without anyone to even pretend to cover.
Makes it a lot easier to get a block that way.

[roycrikside]

Not a good shot by Leonard there.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Too early Leonard...., wth

[Brazil]

TP nice ! double double

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Blair is just an idiot sometimes, wow

[roycrikside]

Get Blair out already. Jesus.

[timvp]

OMG Blair.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck you Blair

[DPG21920]

Blair c'mon man.

[timtonymanu]

Come on Blair. No mental lapses right now.

[rasho8]

Jesus Christ Blair... Get out

[loveforthegame]

Blair just deflating anything this team is doing.

[MI21]

Blair has played ok tonight but I want to punch him when he does that fucking smile after a turnover/foul.

[Mugen]

well i hope thats the last we see of Blair for the night.

[WeNeedLength]

Blair always has the stupidest fucking grin on his face after his makes a retarded turnover. :bang

[timvp]

Does Bonner have one more shot left in the chamber?

Please?

[timtonymanu]

Blair always has the stupidest fucking grin on his face after his makes a retarded turnover. :bang

Seriously. This isn't a pick-up game. Shake your head, but don't smile.

[GSH]

Blair and Green are the only two Spurs with negative +/- tonight. I know that's a shock to everyone.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Pop knew Blair was due for another bonehead play that's why Matt was waiting to check on prior to that play

[timvp]

Oh and a rebound by Bonner would be icing on the cake.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This has to be the first game all year where I'm getting anxious as to when Pop will put Bonner back in because we need him :lol

[SequSpur]

matt bonner disappeared with the game on the line..imagine that..

[rasho8]

Does Bonner have one more shot left in the chamber?

Please?

I hope he has 2

[MB3//]

Bonner having the game of his life, and Pop going with Blair?

[GSH]

Blair and Green are the only two Spurs with negative +/- tonight. I know that's a shock to everyone.

Oops... RJ too. Now it makes more sense.

[Brazil]

dumb blair

[roycrikside]

Jefferson back in dammit.

[ace3g]

Duncan with the bank

[Mugen]

Timmy needs to go to the bank much more often.

[ace3g]

Neal with it!!!

[MI21]

Don't worry guys, RJ is back in, he'll make everything right.

[rasho8]

Great ball movement there

[timtonymanu]

It's crazy how Richard Jefferson is making equal amount of money that our productive bench is making combined.

[ace3g]

Timmy needs to go to the bank much more often.

I agree , he goes for a normal jumper on those angled shots too much now

[rasho8]

I hate you RJ

[loveforthegame]

Popping pepcid like m+ms here. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

So glad RJ is in for crunch time.

[ace3g]

why is RJ back in...

[Spurminator]

I'm starting to get a very Stephen Jackson vibe from Gary Neal. The pre-crazy Jackson.

[GSH]

No space for Jefferson to go through. He tries to anyway, and they give him the whistle.

[loveforthegame]

I don't get why Pop would bring RJ back in.

[rasho8]

I'm really surprised at the refs this quarter.

[Juggity]

3 players with 20 points on the spurs.

[MannyIsGod]

So glad RJ is in for crunch time.

:lol

[ffadicted]

This niggaaaaaaaaa

[ace3g]

well I guess RJ doesn't get an F tonight either...

[roycrikside]

wow.

[rasho8]

I hate you still RJ

[GSH]

RJ.... Mister Clutch!!!!

[Mugen]

lol RJ

[Tp9gospursgo]

Jefferson! CLUTCH

[loveforthegame]

RJ taking a big dump on spurstalk. Myself included.

[MI21]

Told you guys, we can count on RJ.

[angelbelow]

lmao RJ with another big time shot.

[MannyIsGod]

LOL Bonner with the block!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Jefferson finally, fuck

[Spurminator]

Good D by Bonner!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Fuck, Neal could've made it a 7 point lead and now we're only up 2.

Hang in there guys

[roycrikside]

Either of those shots would've been big. Can't get any kind of cushion.

[BanditHiro]

fuck i hate harris.

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao Even when RJ hits a fucking 3 late I hate that he's in.

[DPG21920]

Damn, Spurs missed some chances to extend to 3 possessions.

[timvp]

:lol I was joking about Pop putting RJ back in.

:lol I was joking even more about RJ possibly doing something.

[rasho8]

God Neal imagine There was 1 second left then shoot.

[WeNeedLength]

Damn that Neal 3 would have been HUGE...

[Mugen]

5 point mf'n swing, damnit.

[timtonymanu]

:lmao Even when RJ hits a fucking 3 late I hate that he's in.

It was a 2 so that would make you hate him more that he didn't move his feet out a bit :lol

[rasho8]

Also fuck this ipad

[GSH]

LOL at that shot by RJ... he stepped on the 3P line, and the ball had side-spin on it. But hey, it went in.

[ace3g]

ref reviewing to see if RJ shot was a 3 or 2

[loveforthegame]

Let's hope the Lakers work the Blazers over tonight.

[timvp]

Man, Neal just doesn't like to hit in-rhythm threes, does he?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

It makes zero sense to put Jefferson in this game. Anderson or Kawhi please

[Fireball]

Let's hope the Lakers work the Blazers over tonight.

Lakers did shit in Phx last night ... so maybe

[Spurminator]

Let's hope the Lakers work the Blazers over tonight.

If this keeps up, the Blazers starters are going to get a lot of rest tonight.

[Brazil]

a lot of missed opportunities to close this game

[Mugen]

love the play call, Pop

[DPG21920]

What ails Richard Jefferson?

[Fireball]

TP plays so good right now ...

[jjktkk]

I'm starting to get a very Stephen Jackson vibe from Gary Neal. The pre-crazy Jackson.

Stephen Jackson without the headaches.

[MI21]

RJ steal :lol

[DPG21920]

RJ has to shoot that. Fudge

[roycrikside]

Neal refuses to pass the basketball.

[Brazil]

wtf the lakers 35 portland 7 ??

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Shoot Dick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

Good Steal then RJ goes back to being retarded.

[GSH]

What a crap play by Neal.

[HarlemHeat37]

Jefferson has passed up 2 wide open 3s in clutch time, even after making his last attempt..

[Texas_Ranger]

fucky you neal for not passing

[MI21]

Shoot the fucking ball Jefferson/Neal

[Mugen]

RJ and Bon Bon both passing up shots.

[timvp]

How did RJ and Neal both pass up those shots?????????

[WeNeedLength]

Just make ONE fucking basket FFS

[angelbelow]

Neal should have swung it to Bonner for an open 3 or 2.

[roycrikside]

Bring in Lenoard for D

[Libri]

RJ has to shoot that. Fudge

RJ afraid that he'll miss. smh

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Come on Neal. You tease.

[rasho8]

All we need is one fucking basket

[Fireball]

i have faith ... winning becomes a habit

[Texas_Ranger]

so who makes a 3? Harris or Howard?

[timtonymanu]

No one on our team wants to take the last shot.

[Spursnlego]

Why on earth didn't Bonner shoot that 3?

[MannyIsGod]

I'm surprised Bonner was able to pass that ball while shaking so hard. Man, even when the man has a damn good game he just can't muster any confidence down the stretch.

[The ADMIRAL 50]

Rj was such a pussy not taking that wide open three

[GSH]

Neal should have swung it to Bonner for an open 3 or 2.

Exactly. Bonner was lonely out there on the 3P line.

[DPG21920]

Bonner has been battling all night. Win it with defense.

[dbestpro]

RJ will decide this game.

[ffadicted]

Didn't realize 3s were illegal

[Juggity]

wtf the lakers 35 portland 7 ??

I saw that score...unbelievable. The Blazers only scored seven points in the whole first quarter. And only just scored after four minutes in the second.

[ace3g]

really RJ...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Bwaahahahaha Jefferson!! Yes!!!!

[roycrikside]

Motherfucking ballgame

[rasho8]

Guess RJ gets an A today.

[MannyIsGod]

Fuck. RJ finally grows a pair and it seals it.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Dick dagger!!!!!!!!!

[timvp]

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

Basketball makes no sense.

[dylankerouac]

They are making Tim work with the post offense tonight.

[TIMMYD!]

RJ, this man actually has a penis!

[timtonymanu]

Wow. RJ with balls for once.

[Mugen]

Crofl

[Tp9gospursgo]

Rj!

[DPG21920]

What ails Richard Jefferson?

:wow

[Fermixalot]

Dick getting HARD

[jestersmash]

RJ with the hero shot.

[GSH]

Okay... RJ with the big Screw You to Spurstalk.

[Brazil]

fucking Bonner !!! YOU NEED TO SHOOT ALSO IN THE FOURTH !!!!

[dylankerouac]

And defense, they've gone at him a few times.

[Spurminator]

Lolololololololololol

[loveforthegame]

Holy crap RJ.

[MI21]

Lol rj

[benefactor]

Ball game. Big Dick for once.

[FromWayDowntown]

That dude never does anything.

[The ADMIRAL 50]

RJ redeems himself big time

That's what i wanna see from the vet

[Bonner4MVPzz]

RJ telling us to fuck off

[Libri]

Props to RJ for that manly shot.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Big dickkkkk

[WeNeedLength]

Complete steaming pile of shit just dumped on Spurstalk with that Jefferson 3.....

:rollin

[Fireball]

RJs look: FU Spurstalk !!!

[Brazil]

lol my feed is ssooooo lateeee

[Mugen]

i have never cracked up so hard at a big shot while watching basketball.

[Crookshanks]

Woo Hoo RJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

LJ, show that you have a pair of balls and give RJ an F. 2 shots shouldn't erase the insane amount of bullshit he brings each game.

[Kori Ellis]

timvp called RJ every name in the book before that shot went in :lmao

[roycrikside]

Wow what a finish. 11 in a row. Somehow, someway getting it done.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Dick nutting all over SpursTalk..

[Arcadian]

Jefferson with the dagger! Game over.

[timvp]

What if he does something when Pop puts him back in? :pctoss

:hat

[Bill_Brasky]

Dick finally grows a pair :lmao

[Barfunk]

I'm surprised Bonner was able to pass that ball while shaking so hard. Man, even when the man has a damn good game he just can't muster any confidence down the stretch.

lol... he did hit a balsy shot at LA yesterday to be fair though....

[Crookshanks]

So why didn't the Jazz foul? Why did they wait for so much time to run off the clock? And then RJ killed them. Great game!

[rasho8]

Wow what a finish. 11 in a row. Somehow, someway getting it done.

4 seconds left... Clippersvthought they won too

[ffadicted]

R mothafuggin J hahahahhahhaa

[MannyIsGod]

I still fucking hate RJ. Its like the asshole fucking fumbles his way to something worthwhile.

[roycrikside]

One FT and this game is over.

[TIMMYD!]

Gary's got to hit at least one of these...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

timvp called RJ every name in the book before that shot went in :lmao

:lol:lol

[Mugen]

just make one Gary.

[ffadicted]

:hat

a+

[DPG21920]

What ails works.

[timtonymanu]

Shit Neal better make these. This is the only time he chokes.

[GSH]

LJ, show that you have a pair of balls and give RJ an F. 2 shots shouldn't erase the insane amount of bullshit he brings each game.

Yep. We wouldn't have needed a hero shot if he hadn't played so badly the whole game.

[MI21]

Come on Neal...

[angelbelow]

So why didn't the Jazz foul? Why did they wait for so much time to run off the clock? And then RJ killed them. Great game!

Banking on good defense. If they get a stop they get the last shot of the game to either go for a tie or a 3 for the win.

[suitedkings]

FU RJ! You are still suck!

[roycrikside]

:hat

it was a reverse jinx. As if Pop would ever do the logical thing and not play the worst guy in crunch time.

[loveforthegame]

I still fucking hate RJ. Its like the asshole fucking fumbles his way to something worthwhile.

Oh me too. He still needs to go this summer but I'm happy if he helps seal the win tonight.

[WeNeedLength]

Matt Harpring sucking Dick's dick just now. Giving him mad props. OMFG. :lmao

[DPG21920]

Big props for how JA has stayed ready after being dalt a tough blow with his option.

[Mugen]

Blazers down by 30 in the 2nd against the Fakers. Wouldn't be opposed to sitting TD/TP tomorrow.....

[ffadicted]

Let's make it a juicy eleven boooooooooooisssssssss

[Juggity]

Don't foul.

[GSH]

FU RJ! You are still suck!

You are still suck. I like it. That may be my new sig.

[timtonymanu]

I still fucking hate RJ. Its like the asshole fucking fumbles his way to something worthwhile.

I still hate him too. He'll go back to being invisible, but he got us the win tonight. I won't hate on him tonight.

[Libri]

11 in a row

[Mugen]

You know it's February when Bonner and RJ hit clutch shots in b2b games.

[MannyIsGod]

11 in a row? Crazy

[rasho8]

2 more bitches... 2 more for 9-0

[Cant_Be_Faded]

LJ, show that you have a pair of balls and give RJ an F. 2 shots shouldn't erase the insane amount of bullshit he brings each game.

Lolololol shades of young Manny right there

[timtonymanu]

Great game from everyone tonight not named Danny Green.

[WeNeedLength]

Great win.

[Juggity]

That was a real quality win. Great clutch shooting.

[024]

jefferson finally showing up after going invisible for the past 20 games

[timvp]

Neal contested that too much. Can't even risk a four point play when it's pretty hard to make a three-pointer in two seconds including the flight of the ball. Never easy, damn.




Great damn win though. Parker's persistence possession to possession the whole game was amazing. He didn't deviate from the game plan no matter the score.

[roycrikside]

Unsung heroes of this game are Leonard and Anderson, if you ask me.

[timtonymanu]

Love how this team continues to fight the whole game even though the other team goes on a run. It's so much better to see than the "throwing in the towel" stuff we've seen them do before.

[Barfunk]

:wow Holy Crap, 7-0 on the Rodeo Road Trip....

[Crookshanks]

11 in a row - way to go Spurs! And as usual, Spurs are flying under the radar - just how they like it! I like it that the Spurs are grinding out games and finding ways to win - that helps build stamina and confidence going forward.

[Brazil]

no TJ, no Manu, no Tiago... no problem

[roycrikside]

For what it's worth, Spurs will probably get to Portland a little ahead of the Blazers. Not sure how much that'll help them, but it can't hurt.

[jestersmash]

I was pretty impressed with Anderson's poise. 5 points in 5 minutes on 2-3 shooting.

[Aiko9245]

Love how these aren't blowouts but just tough nose ball that is teaching the young guys what it takes. Wins are great, experience is invaluable.

[timtonymanu]

For what it's worth, Spurs will probably get to Portland a little ahead of the Blazers. Not sure how much that'll help them, but it can't hurt.

If only Portland wasn't getting their asses kicked right now cause that means more rest for their starters.

[GSH]

Great game from everyone tonight not named Danny Green.

He had a crap game, especially on the offensive end. I will say that the other guys didn't do anything to help that. They took several really crappy shots when he was WIDE open on the 3P line, and he had been hitting his 3's again.

Then he got his pocket picked by Watson and Harris a couple of times. He wasn't the only one to let that happen to them. But after that he started forcing things, and it really went to hell.

[Crookshanks]

For what it's worth, Spurs will probably get to Portland a little ahead of the Blazers. Not sure how much that'll help them, but it can't hurt.

Speaking of the Blazers - how bad do you have to play to only have 9 points 4 minutes into the 2nd quarter! :lol :wow

[Mugen]

Two impressive wins in a row. Kinda flukey but the team showed great fight in both games.

[Arcadian]

Look at the box score - Leonard had 8 big rebounds, a team high.

[Mugen]

that Neal three at the end of the 3rd ended up being huuuuuuuuuuuuuge.

[Ditty]

Anderson should start in front of Green until Manu comes back I think Green is better off the bench.

[roycrikside]

LJ make sure to give Ferry a thumbs up. He didn't get anyone hurt today.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Look at the box score - Leonard had 8 big rebounds, a team high.

Kid Kawhi played great tonight

[GSH]

We shot a higher percentage on 3-pointers than 2-pointers. There's something you don't see every day.

[MB3//]

Saturday's game you can call a fluke win. Tonight's game IMO was no fluke. Most of the team showed a lot of toughness in that final quarter. I've seen these Spurs go soft in Utah the last couple of years, not tonight.

[TampaDude]

No Manu,

No Splitter,

No problem.

11 in a row, baby!!! :hat

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[roycrikside]

Very happy to get past this game. The Jazz can't shoot or play much defense, but man are Jefferson and Millsap a load. Jefferson especially was working Timmy over pretty good.

[timtonymanu]

Anderson should start in front of Green until Manu comes back I think Green is better off the bench.

I actually think Green is okay as a starter. He's just too inconsistent much like RJ and Blair.
