[Juggity]

[Knoxxx]

Manu for tres again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LakerHater]

YEEES Manu!!!

[Libri]

Oh mama! :)

[024]

ginobili showing up

[Brazil]

ONE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS RUN ? Manu is alive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bulwark]

Ginobili OMG way to find your shot

[Spurologist]

beautiful fucking ball movement

[MannyIsGod]

Bonner is not going to get credit for it because he missed the 3, but he's played VERY well since coming in in the 3rd.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Gino!

[maverick1948]

Damn Bonner wanted that one !!!!

[loveforthegame]

Ginobli sucking the air of the Jazz balloon. :tu

[GB20]

did you see jack talking to millsa?

[100%duncan]

Maaaanuuuuuuuu 333333333333333333333333

[bklynspursfan]

Dam I love Jackson lol

[Bulwark]

Heat check by Gino

[007nites]

Manu would have ended Corbins career if he made that last 3.

[Knoxxx]

that was a flagrant...

Hit him low, no play on the ball, Tiago crashed to the floor.

At some point you just have to protect the players...

[LakerHater]

Yup, Was Yellin Travel, Travel, Travel!!!

[MannyIsGod]

Bonner was fucking awesome on D and on the boards in that run back there. Wow, I loved that.

[carina_gino20]

Nice timing manu

[capek]

There you go Manu! Nice time to go ordnance threes! :lol :lol

[Manu-20]

manu comes through when we need him most.

[Fireball]

Manu knows when he HAS to make a shot

[bklynspursfan]

did you see jack talking to millsa?

Yep.. That was awesome.

[100%duncan]

Maaaaaaaaaanuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Reck]

Just leave the Bench in for the entire 4th quarter.

[Spurs Brazil]

And the playoffs just started for Manu Ginobili

[timvp]

Classic Manu Ginobili. Tbh, I'm surprised that third one didn't find net.

:lol Jazz Fan waiting until second half of 0-3 elimination game to be heard.

[Mugen]

that might have been my favorite Bonner stretch of playing time, ever.

[Russo21]

utah 58 points at the end of the 3rd with 35% shooting. Is this the 2012 spurs playing or 2002

[ffadicted]

Where's tonyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy gone

[Knoxxx]

The big key here is Jazz have NO 3 PT shooting, 0-8 tonight.

Spurs 8-16 from beyond the arc, making up for a generally POOR night otherwise.

[davidbowie]

it's raining

[wildbill2u]

Out of the phone booth comes SUPERMANU to save the day from evil doers.

[timtonymanu]

Was it just me or was Jack ready to choke Millsap when he and Bonner for fighting for the ball?

[100%duncan]

Manu with the heat check. :lol

[Horse]

That is why we need Manu to go all the way, we may not need him to score 20 but when we need it he shows up. Which is why all the dumb fucks who said Manu not being healthy was not the difference last year are complete morons.

[timtonymanu]

Bonner was fucking awesome on D and on the boards in that run back there. Wow, I loved that.

Definitely. I know the Jazz are a weak opponent, but Bonner has looked his best in the playoffs so far.

[jestersmash]

Gordan Hayward Game 3: 1-10 from the field

Hayward Game 4 thus far: 0-7

Hayward, Burks, Carroll and Howard combined Game 4: 0-17 :lol

[timtonymanu]

Just one more quarter, guys. You can do this.

[EVAY]

You know, Manu plays better in clutch situations than any other Spur, period. Maybe this whole series was just too easy for him before now.

Nahhhh...he was just in a slump.

[sexinthatsx]

Hit him low, no play on the ball, Tiago crashed to the floor.

At some point you just have to protect the players...

Well, Carroll went for the ball with his hands, but he used his body to basically jump on tiago. That was pretty dangerous, and not only Splitter, but Desmond Carroll could've gotten hurt

[Knoxxx]

And the playoffs just started for Manu Ginobili

Yes at long last an actual Manu sighting! We knew he had it in him.

LOL @ Bonner the enforcer.

Bonner/Blair viable 4th and 5th bigs, especially when not out there together.

[TE]

You can tell Matt has been spending some time with captain jack. Great attitude out there.

[Libri]

Bonner was fucking awesome on D and on the boards in that run back there. Wow, I loved that.

I think this is the first time I've seen "awesome D" and "Bonner" in the same sentence. :D

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner is not going to get credit for it because he missed the 3, but he's played VERY well since coming in in the 3rd.

Agree. Playing hard

[blkroadrunners]

Really don't know why Corbin pulled Harris out of the game. Harris has been the X-Factor for the Jazz especially in the 3rd. Everytime he's been in, the Jazz would make a run and cut the Spurs lead. If I was Ty, I'd have Harris in all the 2nd half.

Oh well, better for the Spurs.

[007nites]

Corbins sweatin' it

[Brazil]

Welcome to the POs Manu ! :lol

[timtonymanu]

You can tell Matt has been spending some time with captain jack. Great attitude out there.

THIS

Instead of choking with RJ out there, he's contributing with Jack.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

On to face the Clippers!


(or Grizzlies.....)

[Nathan89]

Was it just me or was Jack ready to choke Millsap when he and Bonner for fighting for the ball?

Jack ain't having that shit. We got a tough guy.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol Tiago gets no respect

[GB20]

Was it just me or was Jack ready to choke Millsap when he and Bonner for fighting for the ball?

millsap was scared to look jack's face

[sexinthatsx]

I want splitter to bitch slap Paul Millsap right now...

[007nites]

Millsapp thinks this is football

[Russo21]

smallest lineup in history?

Neal
Anderson
Ginobili
Jackson
Bonner

lol

[bklynspursfan]

Was it just me or was Jack ready to choke Millsap when he and Bonner for fighting for the ball?

Sure was. Paul wanted no part of it. it was awesome :lol

[DatBoyGood]

Bonner has been playing agressive.

[007nites]

lol Sjax giving props to Bonner

[Knoxxx]

Jackson nice strip of Milsap on the rebound, sneaky vet play.

Splitter almost draws the over the back but refs knew he was just tripping over his own feet as usual.

[turkish spurs fan]

9 assists in 3 q not good

[naico]

so you can travel while trying to snatch the ball?

[GB20]

bonner playing defense

[Brazil]

Jax motivating Matt ! :tu

[MannyIsGod]

Holy shit - Bonner playing amazing.

I may have to bring back Bonner Christ. :lol

[Russo21]

man i love jacksons badass attitude on the spurs

[ace3g]

Hope Splitter is ok, he just fell hard on his wrist again...

[Brazil]

Splitter passing his time lying down on the floor ! wtf

[DatBoyGood]

Pop pissed at neal

[Supergirl]

Jazz getting desperate...Spurs can only lose if they lose their cool, which I don't they'll think they'll do...

[sexinthatsx]

Bonner has been playing agressive.

Bonner has been boxing out like a mofo lol

[ffadicted]

lol that's the end of Neal's night... pop mad

[$pursDynasty]

Tiago is soft, on his back, forever to get back into the play and holding his wrist

[Trainwreck2100]

with our 3 causcasian lineup the utah fans don't know who to root for

[Nathan89]

You can tell Matt has been spending some time with captain jack. Great attitude out there.

Jack brought mojo to this team. He has the outward confidence/toughness that rubs off onto other players.

[Knoxxx]

Utah is playing harder the announcer nailed it.

As a consequence, refs are reffing harder for Jazz.

Manu take it up strong how about a dunk!?!

[007nites]

Splitter should have went up with it

[Fireball]

If we sweep the Jazz, Tiago was definitely wiping the floor ...

[Supergirl]

Tech on Tinsley...Jazz are melting down...

[capek]

Bonner with the block! He's been playing some great d thus game!

[Spurologist]

Why did Tinsley get T'ed up. Intentional kick?

[ffadicted]

Maaaanuuuuuu

[007nites]

Manu please stop it

[ace3g]

Manu tres!!!

[Spurologist]

mmmmmmaaaaaannnnnnnuuuuuuu 3333333333333

[Otaku]

Manu dagger!

[Juggity]

Bam! Manu

Dat sharpshooter

[Knoxxx]

Jack brought mojo to this team. He has the outward confidence/toughness that rubs off onto other players.

I think you mean gangsta :toast

[100%duncan]

Splitter slow on getting back. Had a heart attack tbh.

[Supergirl]

Manu loves the big games...

[Russo21]

Hope these Utah fucks dont injure any of our boys this last q

[LakerHater]

Thats a Baaad Man!!

[$pursDynasty]

:lmao
with our 3 causcasian lineup the utah fans don't know who to root for

[Spurologist]

the Czar: Jackson's a pretty tough hombre

:rollin

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu 3333333333333333333333333

[Libri]

Manu made Carroll look silly.

[turkish spurs fan]

manu

yea we love you

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Fuck Malone, Fuck Stockton

FUCK THE JAZZ

[loveforthegame]

Manu saving the best for last in this series.

[Spurologist]

with our 3 causcasian lineup the utah fans don't know who to root for

:lmao

[ffadicted]

LOL did anyone else see ginobili say "hit him"

[Brazil]

next pop interview about Manu coming back to life: "He's Manu Ginobili"

[Russo21]

Jazz playing shithouse or spurs playing superb d?

[TheProfessor]

Someone please set a hard screen on Carroll coming up the floor.

[Knoxxx]

Splitter should have went up with it

No doubt he has that Diaw hesitation thing going under the basket, looking to pass too much.

Still think the Jazz are getting away with more, they can maul us while we can't even nudge them.

OK now we getting some calls...

[blkroadrunners]

Nice cut and make by Split.

[ace3g]

Jax to Splitter!!!

[007nites]

SJax taking a play out of Manu's book

[capek]

Manu is officially back baby!

[wildbill2u]

Beginning to be a foul fest as Utah gets frustrated. This could get ugly unless the refs take control

[100%duncan]

Manu schooling Carroll. :lol

[Fireball]

Manu was about to violate the 8second rule again ...

[carina_gino20]

Manu has joined the party. Poor jazz

[ace3g]

Splitter again!!!

[Juggity]

Hell yeah son, spurs opening it up

[Russo21]

go tiago

[DatBoyGood]

And thats the series!

[Brazil]

Tiaagggooooo

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Great feed from Green to Splitter. Wow.

[mVp]

LOL Jazz... it's over!

[Warlord23]

Need a shot of Stockton now please

[Knoxxx]

I stand corrected suddenly we are getting the calls and Splitter is showing his pretty inside finesse game while Jazz big men tired (which I did predict in Q 2).

And the route is on baby!!!!!!!!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

spurs defense bring tears to my face :cry

[Spursfan092120]

Refs being completely inconsistent with their calls, basically begging for Utah to come back, but they can't do it. WAY overmatched.

[Spurologist]

next pop interview about Manu coming back to life: "He's Manu Ginobili"

KFU-wXsRhic

[Russo21]

16 points in the second half for utah so far lmao

[davidbowie]

We did it !!!! Yay!!!!!!

[Mal]

that is some awesome basketball. So much talent and basketball IQ.

[EVAY]

with our 3 causcasian lineup the utah fans don't know who to root for

:lol:toast

[Nathan89]

with our 3 causcasian lineup the utah fans don't know who to root for

Post of the night.:lmao

[GB20]

If we sweep the Jazz, Tiago was definitely wiping the floor ...

:lol

[Manu-20]

it's over baby spurs pulling away now just need to keep the lead and hello second round.

[Supergirl]

Parker and Duncan may not come back if the Spurs second string keeps playing so well...

[pad300]

Need 24 points in 8 minutes to keep up our 100 pt game streak...

[007nites]

Splitters last layup just about came off the rim. I think he should be dunking in those pick and rolls.

[loveforthegame]

Splitter killing them now.

I still can't believe we turned a bag of shit (RJ) into a pot of gold (Jax). :tu

[lrrr]

but

"Depth doesn't translate to the playoffs"

lol

[DawgMilkX]

Bonner is playing tough! I think Stephen Jackson is rubbing off on him!

[Reck]

Parker and Duncan may not come back if the Spurs second string keeps playing so well...

I'm ok with Tony sitting this one out.

Duncan needs a few more minutes to scare the puppies away though.

[timtonymanu]

Beautiful set of plays.

[Russo21]

put in

blair
byars
mills
anderson
joseph

up 18 points, dont wanna anyone getting hurt from cheap shots but the fucktard jazz

[timvp]

Bench doing work.

Goodnight, Salt Lake City.

[Nathan89]

Who was the idiot that wanted to sit Manu for the rest of the game earlier?

[Spurs Brazil]

Bench is OWNING

Great job. Keep going. Make Jazz and their fans fell terrible.

[Quiet Strength]

The spurs defense has been great.

[capek]

Splitter.nice b2b buckets! Closing this one out baby!

[Solid D]

Tony Parker couldn't have stopped Ginobili tonight.
:smokin

[Spurologist]

I would think Mitt Romney would be Jazz fan. He should've attended this NBA game.

[Mal]

Tiago is great

[ace3g]

nice steal by splitter

[Knoxxx]

And that gay mexican on ESPN video said DEPTH doesn't translate in the playoffs, HA!

[100%duncan]

Continue the 100 point streak guys! :flag:

[Spurs Brazil]

I love Jax. He brings so much to the team

[Fireball]

And that gay mexican on ESPN video said DEPTH doesn't translate in the playoffs, HA!

if Steve Blake can win a playoff game for the Lakers :rolleyes

[capek]

The spurs defense has been great.

Hell ya. Love the sig btw, killer pic :toast

[wildbill2u]

Pass the ball, run the clock. No hurry but get a good shot.

[Russo21]

oh no the jazz actually scored this quarter :(

[007nites]

put in

blair
byars
mills
anderson
joseph

up 18 points, dont wanna anyone getting hurt from cheap shots but the fucktard jazz

Is joseph going to play in his blazer?

[ffadicted]

lol neal and his 3s

[ace3g]

Neal with it!!

[Mal]

lmao, "bla bla bla Neal hit 3 pointer bla bla bla"

[007nites]

Jazz calling it quits now

[Supergirl]

turning into a blowout...

[davemaniscool]

I can hear the air conditioner running in the Jazz arena

[Knoxxx]

Splitters last layup just about came off the rim. I think he should be dunking in those pick and rolls.

Amen. I think Splitter has far smaller hands than Duncan, thus no one handed dunks near the rim. Also I think he patterns after Duncan with regard to not playing above the rim. Gangly as he is, that is probably a good thing to avoid injuries. He almost falls down on free throws even.

[007nites]

Take splitter out and put in Blair.

[Reck]

Duncan needs to be back.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

tony: why no put me in pop?

[007nites]

Duncan needs to be back.

r u crazy?

[Supergirl]

I would think Mitt Romney would be Jazz fan. He should've attended this NBA game.

Mitt has no idea what state he actually lives in anymore, too bad the Cayman Islands or Switzerland doesn't have a team, since that's where his money lives.

Really, he lives wherever he thinks he can get elected.

[Mal]

The biggest problem. Who put on this garbage time lineup, since everybody is playing great, and Pop should give rest all 11 rotation players.

[jestersmash]

Might need 1.5-2 min. more of Tony Parker to put the game away, tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Did Chuck have laryngitis in that commercial or something?

[wildbill2u]

Turn up the defensive pressure a little bit. Time for the Jazz to start to panic before meltdown.

[Solid D]

I smell a Patty Mills entry.

[naico]

Neal is everything a pg shouldnt be..We can't afford to play with one pg in the second round.

[BanditHiro]

lol at that carroll scrub still fighting when his entire team already quit.

[Russo21]

Yeah he probly does have small hands i dunno. You watch pau gasol and he dunks hardly leaving the floor. Maybe that is the reason tiago lays it in

[GB20]

Is joseph going to play in his blazer?

:lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Jefferson J is money today

[timtonymanu]

Duncan needs to be back.

If the Jazz cut it to 10 in the next 2 mins, then I agree. Otherwise, we can afford him to sit out. This unit is doing work as is.

[Reck]

r u crazy?

For reenforcement.

Jazz will make a run here. Having a big in make intimidate these young and unexperienced bunch.

[100%duncan]

Damn Geen making bad turnovers

[timvp]

F John Stockon.

F Karl Malone.

F Jerry Sloan.

F Adam Keefe.

F David Benoit.

F Bryon Russell.

F Chris Morris.

F Greg Ostertag.

F Greg Foster.

F Jeff Hornacek.

F Shandon Anderson.

F Howard Eisley.

[Manu-20]

Neal is everything a pg shouldnt be..We can't afford to play with one pg in the second round.
Neals done his job good enough for the spurs it wont kill us to play him his mins that he is getting now.

[Knoxxx]

I can hear the air conditioner running in the Jazz arena

Nice one. That dagger 3 from Neal was routine bitch slapping method for us, what a pimp.

Parker Duncan thinking they are done, then maybe not Jazz two straight baskets.

Jefferson's jump shooting pretty much sums it up, pretty while falling, but not enough toughness inside from Jazz best big man.

[Libri]

http://gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs2/3416876_o.gif

[GB20]

fuck

[Knoxxx]

Pop goes with Neal at the point with 5 mins left, OMFG. Didn't he learn from the damage at the end of the first half?

[timvp]

F Tyrone Corbin.

F John Crotty.

F Thurl Bailey.

Who am I forgetting?

[turkish spurs fan]

what is green doing? why nobady helping to bring the ball

[Russo21]

this is kinda getting close

[007nites]

Pops bringing in the whole calvary

[Mal]

The last breath of dead chicken

[Knoxxx]

We can't take out Neal he's fouled!

[Marcus Bryant]

:tu


F John Stockon.

F Karl Malone.

F Jerry Sloan.

F Adam Keefe.

F David Benoit.

F Bryon Russell.

F Chris Morris.

F Greg Foster.

F Jeff Hornacek.

F Shandon Anderson.

F Howard Eisley.

[Russo21]

this series needs to end tonight! No let downs fuckers.

[Reck]

Told you guys these scrubs were gonna make a run.

[Paranoid Pop]

Gary just fell down tbh.

[wildbill2u]

Risky lineup for the Spurs right now with all new guys & young guys

[GB20]

come on pop, we do not need the big three out there

[007nites]

Timmy taking a bump

[Marcus Bryant]

F Tyrone Corbin.

F John Crotty.

F Thurl Bailey.

Who am I forgetting?

Antoine "Traitor Dawg" Carr?

[Mal]

Why so much hate for Utah jazz ?

[ffadicted]

Everybody relax, it's Utah's starters at the brink of elimination with nothing to lose against our bench... a run was inevitable

[Brazil]

good decision by Pop

[Russo21]

love your scarlett vid shadow flames, good stuff

[Supergirl]

How does Duncan wind up called for a foul when he's on teh floor? WTF?

[Mal]

Lol, Favors was everywhere and only having 14 pts

[007nites]

Timmy thinks he can always get away without boxing out.

[Juggity]

If the spurs were playing a better team, this would be a loss

[Spurologist]

the best move Jefferson's made all series

[loveforthegame]

Not our finest hour right now.

[LakerHater]

Tim gettin abused in this minute mark!

[naico]

Is there anyone getting away with pushing fouls like Millsap in this league?

[tlongII]

F Tyrone Corbin.

F John Crotty.

F Thurl Bailey.

Who am I forgetting?

Mark Eaton?

[EVAY]

I wish our big 3 didn't have to go back in because they are likely to get hurt. Jazz are just running over people out there and the refs are letting them.

[100%duncan]

Put the BIG 3 back in the bench. These dirt rats will commit a hard foul on 'em.

[Knoxxx]

UGLY UGLY UGLY UGLY game

(except for our defense and 3 pt shooting)

This is an old school Spurs playoff victory actually.

[Russo21]

how are we winning? we're shooting 38%, outrebounded by 11, that shit usually = a loss. Jazz must be dreadful

[DatBoyGood]

Hate it how these jazz fans cheer whenever our players go down

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Knew those bitches would do that

[Spurologist]

We just saw what the Jazz bounty on tp was all about

[Knoxxx]

how are we winning? we're shooting 38%, outrebounded by 11, that shit usually = a loss. Jazz must be dreadful

30 to zero advantage on 3s.

[Nathan89]

how are we winning? we're shooting 38%, outrebounded by 11, that shit usually = a loss. Jazz must be dreadful

Spurs 10-21 threes
Jazz 0-10 threes

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck the Jazz

[Supergirl]

I know we're only up 12 but Pop should take out Duncan, Parker, Manu, and Splitter NOW to prevent injury. Jazz are taking cheap shots now and have nothing to lose if they get suspended at this point.

[jestersmash]

how are we winning? we're shooting 38%, outrebounded by 11, that shit usually = a loss. Jazz must be dreadful

TS%/eFG% says "hi."

[007nites]

Favors got some choice words from SJax after he pushed Tony

[timvp]

End this ish.

[Spurologist]

F Tyrone Corbin.

F John Crotty.

F Thurl Bailey.

Who am I forgetting?

John Stockton again tbh

[Solid D]

We just saw what the Jazz bounty on tp was all about

Parker making sure they called the foul.

[Knoxxx]

TP + Manu = 3 assists, 11 overall MUST be a season low.

To say we were not crisp on offense would be an understatement.

[100%duncan]

Favors... what a scrub.

[Spurs Brazil]

F M.Eaton.

He's at the game

[Bartleby]

the Jazz don't deserve to go out against the Spurs starters. Hope Pop pulls them all.

[Mal]

One basket, one stop and this series is over. Avoid cheap shots.

[NASpurs]

I remember waiting all day long for this game to start today. Now I want it to end real fast. :lol

[jestersmash]

jazzfanz endlessly complaining about ref calls even though you could easily argue they had an advantage in games 1-3 :lmao

[TheSkeptic]

I almost want Timvp to give the bench a collective grade for this one.

[Knoxxx]

Now is Patty time, attack them off the dribble while they are tired.

[100%duncan]

Sjax should injure the fuck out of that scrub. End his career early on.

[Russo21]

I remember waiting all day long for this game to start today. Now I want it to end real fast. :lol

true that lol

[Brazil]

fuck yo FT TP
