That was a foul. I never bitch about refs, but Favors hip made contact with Tiago's body before the block. Still...Tiago needs to go up stronger, or pump. He just asked to have that blocked.

It seems like the fans boo louder when Parker has the ball. Is that because he has torn their team up throughout this series, or because they don't like him because of something he did in his personal life? I think we can all see the irony in that...

This game has no rhythm because of the referees...

We've just gotta keep scoring. Almost every Jazz miss is followed by whistles till the Jazz score or get free throws.

Every Jazz play or drive is a fucking foul for them. we're lucky they've been shooting it poorly from the FT line...

Take care of the dam ball and rebound that ball in the 2nd half. That's gotta be the message at half time

Would be nice to get solid contributions from manu and Tony in the same game

Spurs still up 1...

We need more pick and roll. Too much one on one so far

spurs1990

Just wait. 3-pointers will get us some separation.

Where is that Pick and Roll I love so much!! Come on Spurs!

timvp
05-05-2012, 10:07 PM
:rolleyes @ Pop benching Bonner for foul trouble, as if the least foul prone bigman in the NBA is actually going to foul out.

Can't say I agree with the Blair insertion, especially since it's not against Millsap. But Blair is sometimes good for a burst of beastly play ... so let's hope it works out.

ginobili fan

Spurs Brazil

Put Manu now to finish the quarter

And please Timmy remember to go with quick moves offensively!

benstanfield
05-05-2012, 10:08 PM
Blair is the worst screen setter I have ever seen, at any level. He looks like Amar'e playing defense.

Mal
05-05-2012, 10:08 PM
One fat scoring run will seal the deal

MI21
05-05-2012, 10:08 PM
The Spurs just need to go 3 minutes without fouling, that should generate some early offense for them.

I also like the idea of Neal in this game, I want to see more of him without the ball carrying duties. It disappoints me that he isn't one of the guys spotting up when Parker is penetrating.

$pursDynasty
05-05-2012, 10:10 PM
then again if you are the Jazz and you are hitting everything you put up, and the refs are helping you out and yet you are only up by 1 it might be discouraging, because you know you won't stay this hot on the perimeter all game.

z0sa
05-05-2012, 10:10 PM
:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao @ all these calls for this scrub team just because they're at home.

Mike fratello: There's just no flow to the Spurs offense right now.

No shit, Mike. The reason is the Spurs are the least fouling team in the NBA and are always near the top in that category. When the refs bail out scrubs over and over while not calling moving screens on the other end, you get this result.

MI21
05-05-2012, 10:10 PM
Manu's defense is just gross so far.

When he left Hayward just then...SMH

05-05-2012, 10:11 PM
How on earth did that referee think that was off Parker?

05-05-2012, 10:13 PM
Terrible calls in Utah's favor:
1. Missed goaltend
2. Bonner "foul" on Favors
3. Splitter "foul" on Jefferson

Terrible calls in San Antonio's favor
1. Spurs ball on "ping pong" out of bounds (ball was last off Duncan's leg)

Utah: Net 2 call advantage

Not bad so far, tbh. The refs aren't going to be perfect.

Splitter didn't look to be doing any better on defense this game, in fact I'd say he looked a litter worse, but Diaw maybe. The Jazz are just on fire right now.

A half like this almost certainly kills us against any halfway decent team. Refs aren't helping, and Blair is just being his cheeseburger self, I don't see why people are surprised.

He had awful (by his standards) games in the first 2, but tonight? 4 points (2-4 shooting), 6 assists (to 1 T.O.), 4 rebounds, just 1 foul in 15 minutes.

:lol @ someone begging timvp for an "anti-jinx" thread - as though Manu is playing so badly tonight that he needs supernatural help.

What the hell do you guys want from him? Unbelievable. Some of you guys are just awful at assessing player performance :lol

Manu with the world's quietest triple-double ever? That'd be pretty funny.

Parker playing hot and cold. Although, tbh, he's been right on Devin Harris' arse. Harris has hit some tough shots this game.

Duncan has been great. He wants it.

Never thought I'd say this but Jackson needs to shoot more.

Bonner nothing until that three. But props to hitting that shot.

Splitter tough to figure. Pretty good but defense was holey, tbh.

Green and Leonard back in jitter mode.

Diaw looked exhausted. I wonder why . . .

Neal giveth, Neal taketh away.

Overall, decent half. Could have been better. Could have been a lot worse if the Jazz hit their free throws.

The Spurs will have to play a better half in the second half to win this game. That was about a C half. They'll need at least a B half, tbh.

Timmy has been protecting the rim well too though, affecting shots, and blocks too

Im not trying to picky here but they are out reb us by 8 and had 8 offensive boards when you get so many O boards there is no issue to keep on jump shooting

reb will be the key of the game

That was one of the worst halves of basketball the team has played all year and it's the best half of basketball the Jazz have played this series and we're still up by two on the road and with their fans treating their brief leads like it was a Game 7 NBA Finals lead. I'm not worried about this series at all....the team just has to have a killer instinct coming out the gates in the 2nd half, clean up the unforced turnovers and we got this.

the fts disparity is not what is killing us even though they are shooting like shit at the line

the refs are stopping us from making any runs, with bullshit touch fouls out of nowhere....

05-05-2012, 10:33 PM
Manu hasn't shown us that slashing prowess consistently in a while

He hasn't had the opportunity.

Take one example on a recent Manu-Duncan P&R attempt. Hayward and the other big hedged Manu pretty hard, Duncan slipped the screen and Manu made the right pass (ultimately led to a "hockey assist" And 1 by Duncan).

I don't remember a single instance in this game where Manu shied away from attacking the rim when it was open for him.

He had a great opportunity on a Diaw screen, but Diaw was called for the offensive foul so that's a moot point.

That Bonner three could be huge in the second half because if Bonner has confidence, he'll wreak havoc on Utah's strategy to pack the paint whenever Parker drives. A couple Bonner threes in the second half would be huge. Not only for the six points but the Jazz will have to rethink their defense.

Spurs not down 10 at half - though they generally played a pedestrian half after the first couple of minutes. Doubt has to be heavy in the Jazz locker room, rolled in the last game and despite being home, etc...they lost the half.

I still think he's being way too passive out there. Pop's gotta tell him to be more aggressive. That's why I continue to believe he has to start again at some point in these playoffs. I think starting could get his confidence going again. I'm not liking Neal and Manu on the floor together now. Neal isn't looking to him and that's not helping either.

Ginobili's mobility on defense has me worried, as well. He is spacing guys too far and basically conceding long jumpshots. I'm not sure if that's Pop's plan or Ginobili just not having the lateral quickness he needs but it will not get it done versus a great backcourt.

sexinthatsx

You guys are simply used to the Spurs leading by double digits by halftime. I say everybody just take a chill pill and relax. We all know the spurs aren't playing that well but in all honesty I kind of want the spurs to win a close game by only 1 or 2 points to prepare themselves for the second round. We need this close game win

Tim with a good first half but 3 reb is not enough especially tonite.. reb is the reason why the game is still close

you can't reb when the team is not missing shots they are shooting 47% from the field and the only reason duncan's reb # where the first two games was because the Jazz struggled to score the ball

If the Spurs get the make up foul calls they're now due, they should be up 3-0 no problem. If the refs decide to keep calling tickytack fouls, we're in for a long game.
