Jackson's postgame comments

[lefty]

Jax was pissed

He said that we havent played hard, that Pop should scream at us, that a lot of teams would kill to be in the WCF

Does anyone have a video of this?

[Russo21]

Good on him. We need someone to call the pussies on this team out. Let's hope we rain a shitstorm on the Thunder in games 5 and 6. We're playing soft.

[SA210]

He's the only one the past two games that played with aggression. I wish he went around practice and gave a good slap in the mouth to every single player and an added backhand to both Bonner and Pop.

“I don’t think Gregg Popovich should have to come in this locker room and scream and kick to get guys to go in and play hard,” Jackson said after the Thunder evened the best-of-7 series at two games apiece. “This is the Western Conference finals. I know a million people who want to be in our shoes. For him to have to come in here and scream at guys to play hard .?.?. I am shocked. Everybody should be ready to play. .?.?. We’ve got to show more emotion and more passion to want to win this thing.”

he has been on the other end of the spectrum...sucking it up on weak teams.

now is the time to make this a tool on our way!

That's what I call keeping it real! When Durrant was hitting all those shots in the 4th, all I could tell my wife is "You can't play betta defense then that". They was all in his clothes with him. Hats off to Durrant!

[weebo]

I'm sure he was directing those comments to guys like Splitter, Green, Bonner, Diaw, and to some degree Manu. Manu had that one good first game but has shit the bed ever since.

+1 Man i love Captain Jack

Spurs are a bunch of pussies. They need to adopt Jackson mentality

[Sausage]

I wonder what RJ would've said in his postgame presser after a game like that.

[Russo21]

I'm sure RJ would have gone home crying having a teammate talk about him like that

[Russo21]

Time for another one of Pop's speechess? The tried and true 'soft' speech or the newer 'nasty' speech? Something needs to be done. Where's the fire and passion and desperation and killer instinct. We are lacking it all

[SenorSpur]

Somehow I couldn't help but think he was talking about Bonner? And I wonder if Bonner was listening?

[ploto]

I really don't think he is talking about Bonner. Truth is-- Bonner tries. He just isn't good enough. When everyone steps their game up another level in the play-offs, he simply does not have one. When defenders play harder and games start going "faster," he just can't keep up. He could run as fast as possible, and not be close to keeping up with Ibaka running the court.

I think Parker looked like he was not playing hard last night.

[Shastafarian]

Obviously it's not easy to determine which guys are trying harder than others. But it seems like Tony, Manu, Neal (notice the defensive change in the 4th lol), Diaw, and Splitter have all at times been lackadaisical out there. Tim too but I blame that on him being geriatric.

[TampaDude]

Jack needs to hipcheck Bonner into the scorer's table. :lol

I agree. Bonner plays hard. Hes talking to players that have the skills and are being pussies. Green, Splitter, etc

[GrandeDavid]

I can see the Spurs coming home and winning Game 5 and eventually the series in Game 7. But I am also concerned that it may be more about OKC than the Spurs. At this point, every OKC player, even on their supposedly thin bench, has shone. If one honestly assesses things, they easily could be up 3-1, perhaps even swept this series. The only prayer the Spurs have is if they bring ultra-physical play and play like its their last game ever.

If Gregg Popovich continues to proudly insist on giving minutes to Matt Bonner and Tony Parker doesn't have a Game 2 like showing on Monday, HCA won't even matter. I guess we hope Dejuan Blair gets minutes and that he's so fired up and sick of Pop that he has a mad game to prove a point.

I won't paint a rosy picture. I still think the Spurs will win in seven, but unless this team gets Jacksonlike quickly, they'll get run over.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I saw this last night
Was about to change the channel but his comments were just to bad as to change it

[Cant_Be_Faded]

"if you're scared, go to church, tomorrows Sunday"

[loveforthegame]

Love his attitude. It's about time someone stepped up and called the team out.

Jax and Leonard are the only two guys who have brought it consistently this series.

Guys like Splitter, Green, Neal, and whatever other role player you want to name have to step up but this team goes no where if the big 3 are playing at 50-60% at best.

[Dingle Barry]

to bad as

[Spurs9]

Man I really love SJAX, no homo. I hope he can light a fire under the rest of his team.

[DMC]

:pop: "They hit some shots, we didn't"

[stxspurs]

Man I really love SJAX, no homo. I hope he can light a fire under the rest of his team.

It's ok to say u love a guy on the team...we know what u mean. Saying no Homo is infact Homo....anyway. I love jax too.

[KaiRMD1]

Bonner tries on offense. Defense, he steps aside. Seen it MANY times, the guy doesn't know what defense is.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I feel that this mainly directed towards Green, though it applies to way more. The way Green has played this series is embarrassing. If he was just missing shots, that's one thing. But what pisses me off is how he reacts after missing shots. He shows obvious frustration and will ocassionally pout. Last game he missed a wide open three, and then on defense, he was too busy pouting to pay attention on defense and Sefolosha walked right past him for an easy layup. If I was Pop I would've pulled him immediately and publicly called him out. That shows signs of mental weakness. He needs to grow a pair and only focus on the next play.

I hate to say this, but it also applies to Duncan at times. Is it just me or has there been times where he has an easy bucket but he's too busy looking back to make sure Ibaka won't block the shot? He almost seems scared of the Thunder bigs, depressing to see from Timmy of all players.

I just re-watched the entire game.

If Jax was not referring to TD then I don't know who he was referring to because Ibaka seemed to be wide open on every shot and MOST of those wide open shots ---he was "guarded" by Timmy.

Re-watch the tape and you will see Timmy taking a half-hearted swipe at the air after Ibaka has set his feet, lined up the shot, gathered his body, jumped and shot a "relaxed" jumper. Then Timmy runs by him with his swipe and continues running to the other end of the court as the ball swishes.

Pathetic.

[ducks]

I think it was directed at manu
he seemed passive out there trying to make those stupid passes

tp attacked but was not getting calls or goaltending

[sa_butta]

I'm hoping Parker finds the solution to the no-calls problem:

Get the basketball through the hoop
He has to continue to be aggressive and just keep playing, eventually he will get the calls.

[Libri]

Jackson keeping it real. :ihit

I do think that the comments were directed to multiple players, but it may have been mainly addressed to Duncan. Depressing for me to see Duncan play like this. I hate hearing about how Ibaka won't go 11 for 11 again, well yeah, if he actually has a shot that is contested. All of his shots in game 4 were uncontested. That can't happen. Hopefully instead of telling himself that Ibaka won't go 11 for 11 again, Duncan is saying "I won't let him go 11 for 11 again" to himself.

:lmao 5-15.....

[ginobili fan]

Please Jax be our saviour...like you did in 2003
He was one of the few who had killer mentality at that time too...
I expect him to come big tonight.
