Spurs vs. Jazz-Round 1 Predict

[SequSpur]

Sweep bitches....

:toast

[ElNono]

Pop will rest the big 3 on game 4.... Spurs in 5

[FvckMavs]

Excellent first post!

[SequSpur]

My 2nd round prediction is not so positive...will wait for that one.

[Blake]

Depends on how healthy Tony's shoulder is, imo

[DeadlyDynasty]

Spurs in 5.

[Blake]

If everyone is healthy, I'm betting sweep

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs in 5

[honestfool84]

Pop will rest the big 3 on game 4.... Spurs in 5

:lol

Spurs in 5.

W W W L W

[jestersmash]

Our 2nd and 3rd units almost beat a Utah Jazz team that was desperate to win just to make the playoffs a couple of weeks ago.

It took a barrage of 3 pointers and CP3-like flops by Devin Harris for Utah to pull out the win.

That being said, I think it's far too easy to get complacent when you're up 2-0 in a series, so I'll say Spurs in 5.

[Sec24Row7]

L w w w w

[Seventyniner]

Put me down for Spurs in 5 also.

[shyne]

Spurs sweep

[xellos88330]

Broom. I just don't see how Utah's big lineup will really affect the Spurs that much.

[Arcadian]

Anything less than a sweep would be a disappointment.

[DatBoyGood]

w w l w w

[Purch]

We'll take the Spurs to 6 at least. Anything beyond that will be determined by how well we defend the p&r and how productive our bench guys are. If pop tries that Blair crap against our 3 big lineup it'll be a long night for the spurs..

:toast

Though I could be wrong if guys like Cj and Raja end up getting significant minutes coming off injuries. That could result in a sweep

[timtonymanu]

Spurs in 5. They lose Game 4.

[Budkin]

Spurs in 5.

[ohmwrecker]

Yep. Spurs. 5 games.

[Purch]

Guys seem to have a very confident fanbase... But I can't help but think you guys made similar predictions over the Memphis series last year.

[TDMVPDPOY]

why spurs in 5? to finish them at home to milk more money? then next round set of 2 home games is next...lol sperms

finish these clowns in 4

[ohmwrecker]

The Jazz are not last year's Grizzlies.

[Spursmania]

Sweep

[100%duncan]

Spurs in 4, Jazz can't score.

[Purch]

The Jazz are not last year's Grizzlies.

We're not.

Millsap and Jefferson are different players than Z-Bo and Gasol.

Different skillsets - different advantages.

[Pocket Hippo]

Sweep. They won't be blowouts, the Jazz are going to give it everything but the Spurs are playing in another stratosphere right now.

[urunobili]

good boys in 6...

[boutons_deux]

Spurs in 5, max

Spurs would be season 4-0 vs Jazz, except for the W Pop gave away.

[100%duncan]

good boys in 6...

.....

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Spurs in 5. You know we'll find a way to fuck up one game in the 4th quarter.

[dbreiden83080]

Can Sweep but i'll say Spurs in 5..

[Keepin' it real]

Los Spurs en cinco.

[Legacy]

Ehh, Spurs in 5 at the most.

[jestersmash]

Jazzfan forums are having a blast peeking into our forums and lambasting us for being arrogant and cocky.

There's already a thread about how the Spurs are the "worst flopping team in the league," and another one complaining about how spurs fans aren't as intimidated by the Jazz front line as they think we should be.

The asshurt over there is palpable.

[Dunc n Dave]

Spurs in 5, we lose Game 3... due to a rare off night from the field

Who cares what The Jizz think? I know I sure as Hell don't.

[JazzFanz69]

4-2 Jazz.

[jestersmash]

I kid you not, I saw one "jazzfanz" poster worry about Utah's ability to score when the Spurs go into their zone defense.

I honestly don't remember the last time the Spurs actually employed a zone. It just goes to show that these people haven't watched a single Spurs game beyond the utah/spurs matchups during the regular season.

Don't generalize. I've watched plenty of Spurs games this season. In fact they were probably my 4th most watch team behind Utah, Minny and Memphis.

[CitizenDwayne]

CP3 and Blake alone don't make the Clips the worst flopping team?

And Spurs sweep.

Sweep if Pop plays Big 3. In 6 if POP sits the Big 3.

[SnakeBoy]

You may want to think that but that doesn't make it so. Most on here thought the Spurs were going to struggle in the playoffs last year and they did.

My guess is the Jazz will win one of the first 2 games, most likely game 1, and be done in 5. Spurs have a history of starting the playoffs by blowing a game.

[Kool Bob Love]

Pop will rest the big 3 on game 4.... Spurs in 5

:lol

I think the bench takes care of them tho. So SWEEP lake city.

Many teams who don't normally use zone have used zone against Utah at points. Sorry Jazz fans don't watch every single Spurs game just to see if they have ever played a zone.

[DontStopBelieving]

We're not.

Millsap and Jefferson are different players than Z-Bo and Gasol.

[Obstructed_View]

Barring injury, I'll be disappointed in anything less than a sweep.

[Imp23]

Spurs about to put in work. Then we gonna bust the Griz ass.

I guess I missed the intimidation when they barely beat the Spurs at home while the Spurs rested their three best players.

Shouldn't we be wondering why Jazz fans aren't as grateful as they should be that they even made the playoffs?

[slick'81]

the way spurs r playing if it goes more than 5 jazz should be elated

[ffadicted]

4-0

[gospursgojas]

My sentiments exactly.

[Spurtacus]

Shaq says its a sweep.

I say Spurs in 5.

[Manu-20]

spurs are going to destroy the jazz in this series this spurs team is the most focused spurs team heading into the playoffs I have seen in a long time.

[Sean Cagney]

Jazz in 6

NICE attempt at a curse here, if not you are fukkin buggin....... You are not a Spurs fan at all if you are serious. Spurs in 5...... Jazz will steal one early, but they will lose in 5.

[BoricuaCJA]

I believe it will be a 5 game series. 3 of the games being really close.

[JustinJDW]

5

[slayermin]

Spurs in five.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Just being objective.. The Spurs beat the young Jazz 4-0.. They have too much jizz in them to prevent them from sweeping.

[ohmwrecker]

:lol advantages

[sehui]

Sweep. Sorry Utah Jazz fan 'Punch', be honest with yourself. Do you really see you guys beating us? You might win a game, or even 2. But honestly...If you guys truly are as good as you say you are, why did you lose 3 times to us in the regular season? With most of the time w.o our intact big 3 playing small minutes?

[BlairForceDejuan]

I applaud David Stern for going NFL and giving top seed a bye week for playoffs.

[Splits]

Spurs in 4 by a combined 75pt advantage. This team is on fire. We may play scrubs in game 4 and hav Patrick go off for 30+

[z0sa]

Spurs in 5.

WWLWW

[lmbebo]

Sweep

[spursince#99]

We're not.

Millsap and Jefferson are different players than Z-Bo and Gasol.

Different skillsets - different advantages.


Millsap is not nearly as talented as Gasol or Randolph so you should just stop. You're right they do have very different skillsets, but the only difference is the results will be different from last year. It'll be a sweep.

[lmbebo]

ZBo was just a monster last year.

Gasol's size, passing and outside shot hurt us. Tony Allen's determination hurt us. Conley played out of his mind. TP played like he lost his mind. Then some of there reserves played crazy good. They out played us, they out hustled us. They man-handled us as well (very physical).

That team was playing like a top 4 team in the league. Once they won that 1st game, there confidence sky rocketed.

Al Jeff and Milsap are great players, but they bring something different than Gasol and ZBo.

[silverblackfan]

Sweep, in spite of the home court calls in the last game

[beachwood]

Sweep.

Z-Bo's performance last year was the stuff of legends. I don't see anyone on the Jazz being able to repeat that.

[Jimcs50]

Sweep!!!

[anonoftheinternets]

Sweep.

Z-Bo's performance last year was the stuff of legends. I don't see anyone on the Jazz being able to repeat that.

I dont think Z-bo can repeat that. And considering his injury, that's certain this year.

[Jumi]

Spurs in 5!
Last year Z-Bo was an All NBA player, Tony Allen was an All NBA Defensive player, add Shane Battier and Conley's defense plus Manu's injury equals "bye-bye" Spurs! Not so with Jefferson and Milsaps, not even close!! There good players but they aren't on that level just yet. They're a true eight seed, just an appetizer! Memphis wasn't a true eight seed last year. They took OKC to 7 games!!!

Spurs sweep.

Spurs in 4

[JazzFanz69]

Is it possible the Jazz threw those first 3 games just to make Spurs have false confidence?

Ty Corbin is somewhat of a prodigal genius, though few know it. He knew the Jazz could face the Spurs in the 1st round and expose them, but he wanted to do so under the radar. He knew throwing the 1st 3 games would give the Spurs a false superiority. The trap is set. You have been warned.

[DesignatedT]

Ty Corbin doesn't know what he's getting himself into. Gregg Pop is about to expose that fool.

Spurs in 5. L-W-W-W-W or W-W-W-L-W. Too much rest = lethargic Spurs. They have to get back into a rhythm. But they're too much for the Jazz.

[DaBig3]

Pop will rest the big 3 on game 4.... Spurs in 5

Im hoping he does that every game if the Spurs have a big lead.. sit em!

[BurningMoNk]

Guys seem to have a very confident fanbase... But I can't help but think you guys made similar predictions over the Memphis series last year.

no, im pretty sure every Spurs fan sensed something wasn't quite right about last year, and trust me spurs fans weren't very confident for the playoffs last year, but now we're better

You're welcome.

Pathetic Jazz fan troll still doesn't get it. :sleep :td

Jazz swept away in four.

[GrandeDavid]

Guys seem to have a very confident fanbase... But I can't help but think you guys made similar predictions over the Memphis series last year.

Not at all. Manu was injured. He's not this year, plus the Spurs are deeper and the Grizzlies are simply better than the Jazz. No comparison to our pre-series sentiments. I respect the Jazz but just think the Spurs will outmatch them rather convincingly.

[GrandeDavid]

www.blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2012/04/27/nba-playoff-preview-a-closer-look-at-first-round/

That's a cheezy prediction. Monroe is just trying to be different and noticed.

[GrandeDavid]

Kind of like he did against Lionel Hollins?

Manu was injured and the Spurs weren't as good last season as this season. Besides, the Spurs had a hobbled Tim Duncan all by himself against the Grizzlies front line. I think that anyone could've stood in as a coach for the Grizzlies last playoffs and beaten the Spurs that series. No special props warranted, although I think Hollins is a good coach. The Spurs were just injured, flat and weak in the front court.
