Game Blog: Spurs vs Jazz - April 8 - 6:00 PM CT

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I love the squad so much. Feels like we're going to the Finals to me. ;)

No one here thought Matt was going to hit that 3. Wouldn't have mattered, but it was late in the shot clock and late in the game, and any pressure at all for Matty is too much pressure.

[Kuestmaster]

Two 11 game winning streak. That's awesome in a lockout season

[Spurs Brazil]

I think Manu won't even make the trip.

Manu with 15FTA

[hooperflash]

Who else watches every game twice each night like I do?? :toast

[Warlord23]

Too many minutes for the big 3 ... good chance Pop will rest Manu and maybe TD tomorrow

[spursince#99]

we've been giving up way too many points lately and its starting to worry me.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Didn't get to watch the second half. 36 points in an quarter is a bit glaring, but a win is still a win! Onto the next one!

[bklynspursfan]

I see Pop resting Manu tomorrow. Jackson should get a good dose of minutes. Timmy will probably play in limited minutes.

Boris Diaw had 1 rebound tonight btw.As good as he was defensively, he's gotta give us more than that.

[Spurs Brazil]

Their guys played more minutes then ours. Jefferson 38 and Harris 33. TD and TP played 31

[spursince#99]

Why's Duncan waving Parker off? What the hell is wrong with him?

he's acting like a child :lol

[DesignatedT]

We need some GIFs of tonights game. A lot of good plays from TP.

[maddnezz]

Tim going for 30 tommorow and to all you so called experts on this board shut up, you act just like Tim when you play Pick up games if you think it's a foul. Internet tough guys talkin bout Tim being a baby let me see you play.

[siraulo23]

are the spurs peaking too early??

11 game winning streak, wow

[GSH]

Jazz did everything they could to make the game ugly and physical - sending the Spurs to the line 43 times. Tonight the Spurs step up at the line and shoot 88%. If they shoot their normal 70% or so, this game probably turns out differently.

I agree. It pisses me off, but I start to think. We held them to 40 points in the first half. Our defense is just not equipped to do it for 4 quarters any more. So there might be some first halfs teams score 55-60 and then 30-40 the 2nd half. Which still kind of sucks, but it shows they adjust pretty well and play defense enough that they can afford to go basket for basket

Duncan has never commited a foul nor has not deserved free throws on contact plays in his entire career. Just ask him.

Lol some video of that Duncan tantrum including the "what you looking at" or I call bs.:corn: Seems like the RJ for SJax is paying some dividends.

[maddnezz]

Observation and real time contact do not mix. I call bs on that Tim raises his hands when he fouls your to smart to try to be cynical.:lol

Didnt get to catch the game but good observation. SJax was just talking about the coaching staff having the whole team shoot 25 extra free throws(not sure how often). Hope they can keep it up.

I do...One to watch and one to record straight to DVD.

[Ice009]

They had a stat up showing the Spurs are 13-10 when giving up over 100 points.

The defense MUST improve. That is a stat Pop needs to think about if he wants to keep starting Blair, or get real serious about playing better defense.

[Ice009]

factually, i thought matty was going to make it due to the nonexistent pressure...

Doesn't matter. 4th quarter means pressure to Bonner, even if we're up 20 he finds the pressure. He really needs to start hitting shots because he's been horrid shooting the ball lately in any quarter.

[ElNono]

We win!

[Stalin]

Doesn't matter. 4th quarter means pressure to Bonner, even if we're up 20 he finds the pressure. He really needs to start hitting shots because he's been horrid shooting the ball lately in any quarter.

the playoffs are coming, you should know by now spurfan

[bklynspursfan]

Does there need to be a 2nd game thread? lol

[Sean Cagney]

April here and playoffs nearing, he does this routinely every year before the playoffs start. It's like dude is just scared of this month lol.

[TampaDude]

11 in a row...think Pop will rest some folks in SLC? It is on national TV after all. :lol
