Game Blog: Spurs @ Jazz - April 9 - 8:00 PM CT

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Devin Harris's decline is pretty sad, tbh..

He didn't lose his quickness or physical tools, it's all mental..

He's a shell of his former self, one of the lowest IQ players in the NBA..
Except the fact that he's not nearly as quick as he used to be.

[Manu-20]

fcking bonner why would you cut when splitter is the one passing you the ball

[spursince#99]

Bonner? sigh

[EVAY]

No Manu, no Tony, no pass completions.

[stxspurs]

turrrible

[bklynspursfan]

Shoulda been an and 1

[DPG21920]

If Matt ever looks at Tiago like that again, he should be cut.

[Manu-20]

There you go danny take it strong to the basket

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Neal is forcing wayyyy too many shots ever since Mills began getting solid minutes.
Forcing shots even at a bad rate for Neal.

[roycrikside]

Spurs need to get a cushion before Jefferson and Millsap get back into the game.

[007nites]

Nasty ankle turn.

[100%duncan]

Our bench has actually been cruisin. :lol

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

kind of refreshing to watch a game where the D is good but the O fugly

taking me back to the early-mid 2000s tbqh

yea no doubt
Spurs used to be synonymous with turnover city

[Ditty]

Finally Green does something

[spursince#99]

Danny Green rolled his scrub ass and he got hurt :lmao

[timtonymanu]

Why would anybody be pissed about this game given the circumstances?

It's not like we're getting killed like that atrocious Portland game. What do you people expect?

[Manu-20]

Good D bonner on favors

[100%duncan]

:lol utah fans don't even know that's a travel

[DPG21920]

Spurs hanging tough, great job. Stay focused and execute.

[bklynspursfan]

Splitter needs to be involved a lot

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Thaaaaa Reedddddddd Rooooocckeettttttt

[DPG21920]

Danny getting picked off all night long

[bklynspursfan]

There you go Green

[100%duncan]

Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

[Robz4000]

Splitter and Green turning it on. Bonner with good D too.

[timtonymanu]

Green coming alive now

[007nites]

Green!

[Sa_Spursfan20]

That was a great pass by Tiago. Green 333333!

[Libri]

Go Green! :)

[Borosai]

Bonner wit the D.

[loveforthegame]

The guys are competing.

[Quiet Strength]

lol bonner

[DPG21920]

:lmao matt

[bklynspursfan]

Wow Bonner you lucky Bastard

[100%duncan]

:lol bonner

[Paranoid Pop]

Matty ice.

[Libri]

Bonner! :wow :lol

[007nites]

lol bonner

[MannyIsGod]

Way to close out that quarter.

Danny Green and Matt Bonner coming on very well.

[Manu-20]

Great way to the end the quater spurs

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Bonner..

Utah's season is probably over if the Spurs win this, completely demoralizing..

[Robz4000]

This game is showing how deep the Spurs are.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Red
Fucking
Rocket

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Bonner beats the buzzer. :lol Ugly quarter, but I'll take it. Let's get that win! :flag:

[Richie]

Bonner clutch again

[100%duncan]

This has been an ugly game but very fun to watch.

[DMC]

Matty "the clutch" Bonner

[timtonymanu]

:lol saying these guys are giving no effort

Even if they don't pull out a win, this is a damn good game.

[ace3g]

Bonner with the oddest buzzer beater

[DAF86]

Ice Matty finishing the quarter.

[DesignatedT]

:lol bonner.

way to close it out guys.

Blair gets put on the bench = Spurs close out quarter on a run.

Blair sucks.

[spursince#99]

It's our bench against their starters. What do you expect?

These minutes are huge for the bench, just being close is more than we could hope for, but a win would be epic.

man FUCK that I'm expecting a win

[Spurs Brazil]

Great finish. One more quarter

[DPG21920]

Green is not mentally weak. This entire team just stays calm and does their job. Not always pretty but no big 3 and leading in Utah after 3? Dayum

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Clutch Bonner, crofl

[loveforthegame]

Some frustrating plays but they're fighting.

Need a solid 4th quarter and we might just steal one in Utah.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

ROFLROFLROFL at Bonner making sure to get the Devin Harris missed shot rebound


He must hate Mormons with a passion, because he LOVES playing good in Salt Lake City


WOAI announcers said before this game that Matt Bonner has 10 career 20 point games. Three of those have come against Utah in SLC.
Tonight he's a rebounding machine

[roycrikside]

Fucking great third quarter. Held them to 17 pts despite being at 4 team fouls in like the first three minutes. Defense playing really well inside. They don't shoot threes well, as long as the Spurs don't turn it over and rebound, the Jazz will struggle to score.

[spursince#99]

gif? lol

[DMC]

LG will be abuzz about how the Spurs' bench hung with the Jazz in Utah, and if the Spurs win, the Lakers' bench will be rode out of town on a rail over there.

[jestersmash]

That Gary Neal to Tiago Splitter pick and roll was the cleanest set they've run all game.

[MannyIsGod]

If Matt ever looks at Tiago like that again, he should be cut.

:lol

I kinda liked it actually. Bonner showing some real fire tonight. I am enjoying it.

[100%duncan]

If we win this, we will not get Utah in the first round... doesn't matter, we can beat anyone as most of you guys say. :flag:

[HeroSquad]

Alternative nickname for Bonner: "Pale Fire." I think it works on a lot of levels

[EVAY]

Buzzer beating Bonner!!

[pgardn]

Pop probably loves this. Its really a nice way to see how each of these guys react when there is no Tony to dribble you out of trouble. No Manu to pass you out of trouble. And no Tim to dump it into.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

I love this Northside Ford commercial. Gary Neal...:lol

[Borosai]

You just know it infuriates defenders when Matt "Fucking" Bonner scores on them.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[DMC]

man FUCK that I'm expecting a win
Baby steps.

[baseline bum]

Tiago is a pervert, taking all those HS girls home like that.

[shyne]

Nobody beats northside ford lol

[DAF86]

Seriously, what the fuck is Gary doing there? specially with his history.

[spursince#99]

way to close that quarter. Damn good way to close it.

[timtonymanu]

Now.. if they could just find me a guard.

[Keepin' it real]

On a day his offense was really needed, Danny green has been awful offensively. He's done nothing.

Playoff preview TBH.

[bbarry]

Boner is getting HOT

[bklynspursfan]

Matt thank you!

[MannyIsGod]

Bonner owns SLC.

[Libri]

that commercial with Taigo

He sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

:lmao

[100%duncan]

Bonner :lmao

[Tp9gospursgo]

Bonner 333333333

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Matty with the three. RED ROCKET!

[DesignatedT]

Bonner!

[loveforthegame]

Bonner bringing it home. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Neal. The Momentum Killer

[100%duncan]

:lol neal

[Quiet Strength]

What the fuck? Does neal ever want to pass the ball? Stupid ass

[MannyIsGod]

I'll give it to Gary Neal: He never loses confidence. :lol

[Manu-20]

dam it gary pass the ball

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Manaco: Pop wants Neal to have the ball in his hands, really?

[spursince#99]

Neal "gimme the damn ball" :lmao:lmao:lmao

[100%duncan]

Neal shot 3 time in that possession. :lmao

[Richie]

Neal wtf

[loveforthegame]

2 steps forward and 4 back.

[bklynspursfan]

This is Jackson's time to shine

[DesignatedT]

lol neal getting owned.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Jazz shooting 5% from the FT line

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal can play really stupid sometimes, DAMN

[bklynspursfan]

Can't even hit a layup

[Tp9gospursgo]

Neal is not a passer lol

[100%duncan]

Neal killed the momentum :lol. Doesn't matter enjoyed the Bonner act

[MannyIsGod]

Cantor was in the lane for 8 years there. Shocked not to see a 3 second.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Matt "more than a 3 point shooter" Bonner

[DesignatedT]

lmao bonner. thata way kid.

[bklynspursfan]

Thank you Kawhi

[DPG21920]

eh did that look like a goaltend on creal's shot to anyone else?

Ya, maybe the angle

[roycrikside]

And-1 for Leonard!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Leonard and 1!!

[100%duncan]

Kawhiiiiiiiiiibuuuuuuuuuungaaaaaa

[Robz4000]

Bonner is manning the fuck up right now

[shyne]

Neal don't give a shit if he's in he's shooting lol

[Manu-20]

Kawhi and 1

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Bonner must have a FINE ASS mistress in Salt Lake City....it's too uncanny how well he's playing, there has to be a reason

[Libri]

Leonard with an anti-RJ move.

[pgardn]

Neal wtf

Taken like the last 5 shots.


Tottenham...

I like Scott Parker.

[spursince#99]

Kawhi Leonard? The best player on this team

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. :tu

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Kawhi doing work.

[Keepin' it real]

Keep firing Neal!!

[Death In June]

I'm not liking this new arrangement, having Monaco substitute for Bill on away games. He's pretty unbearable.

[DesignatedT]

KL and 1

[Spurs Brazil]

Kawhi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

Tinsley is terrible. I remember when people said he was better than Parker. :lmao

[DPG21920]

Great pass by mills :tu

[100%duncan]

Nice pass to Splits! No way we can lose this now,tbh.

[Manu-20]

Hell yes tiago free throws spurs starting to close out this game

[MannyIsGod]

:lol Neal really should have the nickname Honey Badger

[007nites]

On that Neal play did anyone else see the goaltend???

[DesignatedT]

great pass patty.

[loveforthegame]

I can be critical but I'm proud of these guys fighting.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Holy crap Tiago is so amazing at drawing fouls down low....he did like two up and unders and got fouled by two Jazz'es

[DPG21920]

splitter's either tired as shit or a mouth breather

Or he's the best conditioned baseball player on Earth.

[roycrikside]

Spurs need to keep playing the way they're playing on defense and get to 87 pts and this is a W.

[MannyIsGod]

nice pass to splits! No way we can lose this now,tbh.

.......

Smh

[spursince#99]

Lol OMG WE BOUT TO WIN!!!.

[Uriel]

My God, the Spurs are really good at basketball. :lol

[keywester]

Time to bring Mills in.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

As the game has gone on, they have really started playing together. A lot more fluid/consistent now.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Tinsley is terrible. I remember when people said he was better than Parker. :lmao

Dude I was surprised he was still in the league when we played yesterday.

[bklynspursfan]

This game is in their control. Interested to see how they respond to the run Utah will make

[100%duncan]

Tinsley is terrible. I remember when people said he was better than Parker. :lmao

Did he even have a Prime? Dude looks so washed up.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job Tiago

[DMC]

On that Neal play did anyone else see the goaltend???
I did

[spursince#99]

My God, the Spurs are really good at basketball. :lol

:lol

[Keepin' it real]

On that Neal play did anyone else see the goaltend???

No.

[foodie2]

:lol:lol
:lol Neal really should have the nickname Honey Badger

[DMC]

Utah primed to hit a few 3s in a row, get some calls.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

I think Mills has made Neal's bootyhole tighten up a bit. Neal is playing outta rhythm ever since Mill's arrival.

[100%duncan]

Jackson Dagger 3, leggo

[bklynspursfan]

Nice Jackson!

[loveforthegame]

Still a long ways to go.

[Borosai]

Jax!

[bklynspursfan]

That 3 woulda been huge

[loveforthegame]

Beautiful. :tu

[007nites]

SJAX with the pickpocket

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

:lmao Jazz will never want to play us again after tonight if we win

that's like 4 injuries for the Jazz in 2 nights

[bklynspursfan]

Shit Blair in for Splitter. This is not going to end well, and may cost us

[Quiet Strength]

Now jackson wants to play like neal

[bbarry]

Wow Stephen Jackson has been off.

[bklynspursfan]

Dam Jack I thought you'd get going by now

[Tp9gospursgo]

C'mon Jack.

[100%duncan]

Sjax had an awful shooting night. Can't complain about other aspects though

[spursince#99]

:lol Neal runs this team

[loveforthegame]

Ugh. :depressed

[Spur|n|Austin]

Neal's ball sharing ability went out the window along with Jax's shooting tonight.

[roycrikside]

Why bring Blair in ?

[bklynspursfan]

If they come back Splitter needs to get back in there

[007nites]

Wow Jackson getting away from murder lol

[100%duncan]

Jazz is such a bad shooting team. :lol

[Keepin' it real]

This is the Stephen Jackson I feared we were getting in the trade.

[bklynspursfan]

Splitter leaves and we give up 2 offensive rebounds. Coincidence?

[DPG21920]

Jax is bad tonight. Let's see how Blair does. Need him to board

[Tp9gospursgo]

At least Jack hustles unlike RJ lol

[100%duncan]

Announcers sound so fucking desperate. :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Jackson just isn't hitting his shots. Some of them have been good looks. Off nights happen, he was off his rhythm isn't there. I'd like to see him post and drive a little more

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Is anyone else worried by the play of Stephen Jackson?

[007nites]

Good thing Blair has some nice hands. He can even catch the shitty passes.

[Mel_13]

Splitter leaves and we give up 2 offensive rebounds. Coincidence?

Is that a trick question?

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Is anyone else worried by the play of Stephen Jackson?

NahBrah. He will have nights like tonight.

[bklynspursfan]

WOw a late whistle?????? WTF??

[loveforthegame]

Rebound!!

[100%duncan]

This is the Stephen Jackson I feared we were getting in the trade.

Really? Really? Really?

[Obstructed_View]

Is anyone else worried by the play of Stephen Jackson?

You mean his lazy lack of boxing out?

[MannyIsGod]

Wow Jack was really lucky not to get a T there.

[Manu-20]

WTF bail out call for milsap

[roycrikside]

This is a terrible lineup Pop has on the floor. They can't score without Tiago, Splitter or NEal. They can't creat a shot with Mills.

[Josepatches_]

Splitter leaves and we give up 2 offensive rebounds. Coincidence?

more coming

[spursince#99]

S-Jax mad as shit

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Rebound!!

where? I don't see it.

[bklynspursfan]

Is that a trick question?

Turned out to be 3. But no. Just annoyed he was playing so well, we built a big lead with him and then we go back to a small lineup. Makes no dam sense

[EVAY]

Ken Mowrer strikes again!

[Brazil]

:lmao if the jazz loose this game with all the O rebounds, spurs TOs they are going to cry

[Spurs Brazil]

Bring Tiago and Neal back ASAP

Neal has been bad but Mills is much worst

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

The Jazz size is starting to wear us down.

Pop should use Splitter-Blair frontcourt to finish this game, it's been a slugfest low scoring game anyways. Why not? Reward Blair's great play with some closer minutes.

[timtonymanu]

Put Splitter back in. We need some size in there.

[Spurs9]

f these clown refs nucka

[Manu-20]

Tiago should finsh this game we need rebouding and his scoring he was providing

[roycrikside]

If Diaw isn't the point center, who is gonna create a shot?

[Borosai]

Lack of size on display. This is why Pop has to rotate Duncan and Splitter. They'll just have to find a way to make it work.

And Esjax looks really bad tonight.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Splitter
Blair
Bonner
Kawhi
Mills

tbh

Would be awesome to see what that lineup could do



WOW. These anti-smoking commercials are getting redunkulous

[DPG21920]

Tee ahh go

[Spursnlego]

:madrun:madrun:bang

[Brazil]

and pop pisses me off with his constant bs with splitter honestly

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

mass sub :lol Pop

[EVAY]

Splitter's back!

[bklynspursfan]

Wow he went back to Splitter!!

[007nites]

Forgot about Diaw

[Obstructed_View]

WTF bail out call for milsap

You can't be serious. Leonard put his forearm into Milsap's body while he was in the air. Just not any question that's a foul, folks.

[Josepatches_]

Splitter was running the court like nobody,sets all the screens...played 12 min in a row..he looked tired so Pop gives him a few seconds to rest before coming back to the game

[urunobili]

No Tiago... :pctoss

[Obstructed_View]

How are the Spurs in first in the west and a half game back of OKC?

[bklynspursfan]

Harris with a flop. What a bitch

[100%duncan]

Is Harris Kevin Durant?

[Robz4000]

Refs will not let the Spurs win this game...

[spursince#99]

we're about to lose

[TheSkeptic]

and pop pisses me off with his constant bs with splitter honestly

:nope You need to take a number and get in the back of the line.

[bklynspursfan]

How are the Spurs in first in the west and a half game back of OKC?

lol i know that's weird. % points cause we have 1 less loss than they do

[TIMMYD!]

Can't win if we can't score.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Come on guys...keep your head in the game. Don't throw this one away.

[loveforthegame]

We're going to lose a heart breaker. :(

[roycrikside]

25-10 now in FTA

[bklynspursfan]

Need a basket here.

[Brazil]

we have a run to come

[bklynspursfan]

Fuck man

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Announcers sound so fucking desperate. :lmao

Yeah, well their team is fighting for a playoff spot and they are losing to a team without 3 of their best players. They should sound desperate, what the fuck do you think?

[TheSkeptic]

Man, they need to go on a run here.

[Obstructed_View]

Wow Neal just got away with a walk there.

[100%duncan]

:lmao. C'mon Spurs! :flag:

[MannyIsGod]

I blame that dumshit that said it was over a few minutes ago.

SMH

[bklynspursfan]

8-0 run for them? We haven't scored in forever

[TIMMYD!]

Neal with some huevos

[spursince#99]

Devin Harris look like Tim Hardaway out there

[DesignatedT]

Neals D is just atrocious.

[Robz4000]

Neal. With. It.

[bklynspursfan]

Thank you Neal. Big shot

[DPG21920]

Screal

[Keepin' it real]

Refs will not let the Spurs win this game...

Maybe they figure Spurs don't want to win since they left their three best (healthy) players at home.

[Libri]

Neaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

[100%duncan]

Neaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal wit it

[MannyIsGod]

FANTASTIC screen. Honey badger don't give a shit and honey badger don't care.

[wildbill2u]

Jax may bring attitude. He may play defense better than RJ. But he's never been a good shot.

Career FG avg of 41% and 3 pt career avg. is .337%. Both are at the minimum acceptable level for a NBA player.

[PingPong]

Is that Danny Green blind?

[007nites]

Neal wit it

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Gary Neal. Thank you.

[timtonymanu]

Clutch Neal

[DPG21920]

Tiago beast mode d

[bklynspursfan]

Rebounding like a man!

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck! Harris come back with his own 3

[Obstructed_View]

Harris looks like Tony Parker when he's going against Gary Neal. I think that's more on Neal than Harris. Then Harris goes under the pick lol.

[bklynspursfan]

Our guys get no respect when we drive
