Game Thread: Spurs vs. Jazz - Mar. 22 @ 7:30 PM CST

[ElNono]

Don't fuck this up. Otherwise I'll make ya's sorry your daddy's ever squirted your asses out.

Chop/chop.

You will do absolutely nothing, per par

[LittleCriminal]

Green!!

[ElNono]

Danny giveth, Danny taketh away

[EVAY]

Danny giveth, Danny taketh away
yeth, he doth

[Splits]

:lol -17 in 10 minutes. WTF is going on?

[Supreme_Being]

C'mon team, let's tank this.

[Richie]

Splitters post defence has been excellent this game

[Cry Havoc]

Vintage Duncan. Wow.

[SpurPadre]

Pop thought it was a good idea to Match Utah's size by putting in Blair and taking his bigs out for a good Jazz run.

So it's not a typo, we're losing to the fucking Jazz? With TP back no less? Damn, that must have been a craptacular first half then. Oh well, we will obviously win this game anyways but it's embarassing to be losing to a team that doesn't want to win another game.

[loveforthegame]

Where would we be without Duncan?

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao Jazz announcers bitching about officiating.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Tied game!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

That didn't last long.

[Thread]

I'm happy you're back 'Sep and not just parroting.

How's katiegirl?

- "Bout to drive me into the poor house, but, I can't complain."

- "Bill Cox" - "Slingblade"

[EVAY]

Where would we be without Duncan?

He is shooting about 20% tonight, so probably just about where we are.

[timtonymanu]

Quit being an asshole, Al Jefferson. :lol

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Duncan!

[SpurPadre]

Against everybody else, the Jazz are easier to beat these days than the '12 Bobcats but for us, they're the Heat. Fucking ridiculous.

[bklynspursfan]

Nice DeColo is in. Joseph has been pretty meh

[hater]

Decolo IN!!!

[EVAY]

That's twice that Milsap has taken the ball away from Tim while he was holding it out.

[hater]

NANDO BOOOM

[ElNono]

Manu has been horrible this half, tbh.... can't spin that one

[jestersmash]

Just started watching. I saw Manu swish about 40 three pointers in a row in Leonard's shootaround video (and Nando's). I was hoping that would translate to a good shooting night. 0-5 is not a good start.

[timtonymanu]

C'mon backup PG's. Deliver a good game so Neal doesn't get reinserted.

[jestersmash]

Honestly this has to be in Manu's head. His shooting mechanic is obviously very sound if he's able to swish so many 3 pointers in a row in practice.

[freetiago]

Popovich doesnt read spurstalks
he doesnt think manu is a TOSB and he wont put him in a supporting role
every media outlet sucks off every Spur player so they wont notice anything either
they still Jackson can actually play basketball

[Southwest Texas Fan]

De Colo.

[RD2191]

fukin garbage defense

[Cry Havoc]

Damn the Jazz are a bunch of pansies. If they played this hard every night they'd be a 7 seed at worst.

[ElNono]

Popovich doesnt read spurstalks
he doesnt think manu is a TOSB and he wont put him in a supporting role
every media outlet sucks off every Spur player so they wont notice anything either
they still Jackson can actually play basketball

you think your posts are good... everything is very relative, tbh

[timtonymanu]

Foye and Williams are the most annoying backcourt when it comes to playing us.

[ElNono]

danny!

[Cry Havoc]

DANNY GREEN. YESSSSSSSSSSS

[hater]

Honestly this has to be in Manu's head. His shooting mechanic is obviously very sound if he's able to swish so many 3 pointers in a row in practice.

Manu has lost ALL confidence. Explains why Pop uses kiddie gloves with him.

[Trainwreck2100]

now take the fucking lead

[EVAY]

Great D by DeColo, great pass by Diaw, great three by Green.

[ElNono]

Diaw MAD!

[loveforthegame]

Green with timely 3s.

[SpurPadre]

Damn the Jazz are a bunch of pansies. If they played this hard every night they'd be a 7 seed at worst.

It has to be more what we're not doing than what they're doing. We're not ready for the playoffs yet. March 31st is the day this team better get its ass in gear.

[ElNono]

let's see what happens when the actual bench comes in... hopefully we've seen the last of blair

[bklynspursfan]

Agree with Elliott, they have to find a way to keep Kawhi involved in the offense. He was getting some post opportunities lately and isn't getting a chance to do much thus far

[mrjap2x]

Diaw being aggressive.

[bklynspursfan]

Yea we just can't put together a consistent string of stops. Jazz have us doubled up in 3's........

[timtonymanu]

Again with open 3's.

[SpurPadre]

Manu has lost ALL confidence. Explains why Pop uses kiddie gloves with him.

A Manu with no confidence is no Manu at all. If only Neal can spare some of his overconfidence to him...

[bklynspursfan]

Watch Manu come in and be a spark

[RD2191]

where would this team be without danny verde

[ElNono]

well... still a 3 pt game just like at halftime... would be nice to make a little run

[ElNono]

Manu about to come in... Pop clearly tanking this game

[Libri]

The Jazz currently have one white player on the team. Nobody shocked by this?

[boutons_deux]

another team with a garbage road record coming into ATT and (maybe) beating the Spurs

[HI-FI]

i'm getting the Jizz announcers. man, they sound like me in a OKC thread bitching about refs.

[Cry Havoc]

well... still a 3 pt game just like at halftime... would be nice to make a little run

Nono, how you doing man?

[TheGoldStandard]

Jazz about to go on a 10 point run, Manu with 4 turnovers.

[Cry Havoc]

i'm getting the Jizz announcers. man, they sound like me in a OKC thread bitching about refs.

Seriously.

[ElNono]

Nono, how you doing man?

good, with a ton of work... just finished watching ARG beat VEN in soccer and now watching my Spurs per par

[RD2191]

FUCK YOU JAZZ, CHOKE AWAY THE 8TH SEED AND YET PLAY LIKE THE 96 BULLS AGAINST US, FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUUUU

[Splits]

If Manu reproduces his stellar 1st half we'll be down 20 with 5 to play.

[HI-FI]

i have to say, I love seeing my nig Nando get some burn. I think he'll be a lot better next year.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

We need a run.

[Cry Havoc]

good, with a ton of work... just finished watching ARG beat VEN in soccer and now watching my Spurs per par

Same here. I feel like I'm always working. But I can do most of it from home so that's a plus, been watching the tourney all day.

[bklynspursfan]

Run has to come now

[timtonymanu]

I've been liking Boris's play the last few games, all things considered.

Please don't go back to your invisible play, Boris.

[ElNono]

come on Diaw... that's Manu's fault?

[EVAY]

Manu got fouled at the last offensive play.

[ElNono]

Diaw brick = Manu's fault

[ElNono]

Green misses wide open 3 = Manu's fault

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Diaw playing with fire!

[Cry Havoc]

What happened to Favors? I thought he was supposed to be the Jazz's young blood.

[ElNono]

Tiago illegal screen = Manu's fault

[Southwest Texas Fan]

We can't catch a freaking break.

[Richie]

Defence has actually been quite good, 65 points through 3 quarters. Offence has been way off

[jestersmash]

Tiago illegal screen = Manu's fault

This but unsarcastically.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

What, a break for the Spurs.

[ElNono]

and this is with 3 starters out there

[Cry Havoc]

The Jazz announcers think it's impressive that Tiago started playing at 15... do they know about Tim Duncan?

[ElNono]

nice contest Manu

[ElNono]

time to get some coffee and enjoy TD's domination in the 4th

[EVAY]

Well, we make up one point from the half. At this rate, we will be tied after the fifth quarter.

[Richie]

The Jazz announcers think it's impressive that Tiago started playing at 15... do they know about Tim Duncan?

Pretty sure he was playing pro ball at 15, so must have started as a kid

[emanueldavidginobili]

Ive noticed that Manu picks up his dribble WAY to often during the pick and roll, its a very bad habit. If he just keeps his dribble it would prevent him from getting trapped so often with no dribble.

[Pauleta14]

good, with a ton of work... just finished watching ARG beat VEN in soccer and now watching my Spurs per par


Did Lavezzi play?

Any chance Messi injured himself? (not too bad but I need him out for 15 days!)

[jestersmash]

Ive noticed that Manu picks up his dribble WAY to often during the pick and roll, its a very bad habit. If he just keeps his dribble it would prevent him from getting trapped so often with no dribble.

I agree completely. He rarely looks to split double teams with his dribble anymore as well. It's a lot of lateral dribbling action off the pick and roll (hugging the 3 point line, basically, instead of penetrating toward the paint).

[EVAY]

Ginobili misses again...Tony's fault?

[bklynspursfan]

Bonner can make a difference now if he can hit a few 3's

[RD2191]

LMFAO MANU IS GARBAGE, AND BONNER IN??? AHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[EVAY]

Bonner sold the offensive foul

[Splits]

Matty B gonna spark the run?

[HI-FI]

nice Matty :lol

[SpurPadre]

Ive noticed that Manu picks up his dribble WAY to often during the pick and roll, its a very bad habit. If he just keeps his dribble it would prevent him from getting trapped so often with no dribble.

Yeah, I've noticed that to...it's because he keeps hesitating out there.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. Nice. :tu

[Libri]

Did Lavezzi play?

Any chance Messi injured himself? (not too bad but I need him out for 15 days!)

God doesn't get injured.

[Cry Havoc]

Pretty sure he was playing pro ball at 15, so must have started as a kid

No. Duncan was swimming for the Olympics and a hurricane took out his island. He started playing basketball at 14.

[EVAY]

Leonard giveth and Leonard taketh away

[loveforthegame]

Leonard taking over. :tu

[TheGoldStandard]

Just got it back

[ElNono]

Did Lavezzi play?

Any chance Messi injured himself? (not too bad but I need him out for 15 days!)

Lavezzi played... Messi is fine :lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Ginobili is just padding his Kobe assists

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Kawhi.

[ElNono]

Manu with the flop goods

[bklynspursfan]

Matty B gonna spark the run?

Yea made 2 nice plays. I said earlier he should play after Blair's horrid play. I thought it'd be his 3 point shooting, but he did it with his play making and defense LOL

[ElNono]

Golden god

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Tiago!!!!!

[Cry Havoc]

Jazz going into full bitchmade mode. Fucking pussies. You guys just mad cause we swept you.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

bonner lol

[RD2191]

RIP MATT BONNER

[ElNono]

:lmao :lmao:lmao:lmao Bonner

[DatBoyGood]

OH nooo.

[hater]

:lmao Bonner got teabagged

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

at least he didnt drop

[KaiRMD1]

Jazz going into full bitchmade mode. Fucking pussies. You guys just mad cause we swept you.

Nah, we embarrassed them, swept is putting it nicely.

[DapDaGenius]

Bonnor got Favor's period blood all on him.

[Libri]

Bonner will make a highlight.

[jestersmash]

:lmao Manu fail leads to a dunk on the other end.

[ElNono]

wtf was that Manu? Get TD back in there

[RD2191]

LMFAO, POP IS GARBAGE, STILL PLAYING THE TURD TOWERS

[bklynspursfan]

Jack not seeing any time this half... Interesting

[HI-FI]

crofl Manu.

this shit is getting sad with him.

[Quiet Strength]

Fuck manu has to get the fuck out of the game

[DapDaGenius]

Keep the ball out of Manu's hands. I'm not even fucking joking.

[hater]

Manu just needs to sit this one out. It's looking scary out there :(

[DatBoyGood]

Manu....sigh.

[timtonymanu]

Turnover after turnover. SMFH

[ElNono]

oh he slipped...

[Cry Havoc]

I have no respect for teams that show up for 20% of their games and play well and have no inspiration the other 80% of the time. Jazz = bitchmade.

[bklynspursfan]

LMFAO, POP IS GARBAGE, STILL PLAYING THE TURD TOWERS

Splitter and Bonner are in there....

[jestersmash]

wtf was that Manu? Get TD back in there

Another turnover.

[urunobili]

Trashobili on full display tonight... a duck literally...

[KaiRMD1]

At least he slipped and didn't injure himself........the f'n jackass

[Richie]

No. Duncan was swimming for the Olympics and a hurricane took out his island. He started playing basketball at 14.

I was talking about Tiago

[Brunodf]

Stupid turnovers:bang

[LkrFan]

:flag::flag::flag:

[crc21209]

:lol At these niggas showboating on our court. Burks staring down TP, get the fuck outta here chump

[Richie]

Our offence has been awful all game, Parker and Manu both culpable.

[The Whopper]

No longer NBA material.

[DapDaGenius]

I have no respect for teams that show up for 20% of their games and play well and have no inspiration the other 80% of the time. Jazz = bitchmade.

Doesn't that make us bitchmade???

[bklynspursfan]

:lol At these niggas showboating on our court. Burks staring down TP, get the fuck outta here chump

I hope that sparks them... I hate when these guys try that nonsense.

[weeks]

we are getting punked

[TheGoldStandard]

Good thing we won't see Utah in the playoffs, we struggle against 9 - 12

[jestersmash]

Our offence has been awful all game, Parker and Manu both culpable.

:lol Parker just comes back from injury and is shooting 50% from the field his first game back. Give me a break.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

ginobili was like 2 seconds late on that pass

[Libri]

The far away from the baseline bums.

[Blizzardwizard]

TURNOBILI IS BACK BABY!

[RD2191]

:downspin:

[SpurPadre]

I'll call it right now, if we lose to this Jazz team in late March at fucking home and with our fucking Big 3 intact, we are NOT Championship material.

[TheGoldStandard]

why are the starters not in the game yet?

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Bonners still in which means Pops tanking.

[loveforthegame]

Thanks Manu.

[Splits]

WTF is Manu doing?

[Cry Havoc]

Doesn't that make us bitchmade???

What the fuck are you talking about? We have the best record in the fucking Western Conference. Do you watch basketball?

[Texas_Ranger]

this sucks

[urunobili]

Live by the Manu die by the Manu :depressed

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Jump ball.

[timtonymanu]

These guys need to work on passing drills apparently. :lol

[ElNono]

Every starter has 2 turnovers except green...

[siraulo23]

holy turnovers

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Timmy looked pissed.

[DapDaGenius]

Get Bonnor out of the fuckin' game...damn he's taken enough of a beating this game.

EDIT: Well, he shut me up. lol

[ElNono]

finally red

[Cry Havoc]

RED ROCKET

[ElNono]

Bonner giveth, Bonner taketh away

[RD2191]

MANU NEEDS TO RETIRE AFTER THIS SEASON, 3 YEAR CONTRACT MY ASS

[SpurPadre]

What the fuck are you talking about? We have the best record in the fucking Western Conference. Do you watch basketball?

Yeah but we don't have a prayer to beat the Heat if we keep playing like this.

[Quiet Strength]

Pathetic effort

[siraulo23]

bonner just made a huge 3 in the 4th

[EVAY]

Bonner played excellent D that time.

[ElNono]

I think if we lose this one I'm gonna debut my "Spurs peaked too early" schtick for this season

[SpurPadre]

bonner just made a huge 3 in the 4th

...in the regular season. Remember that. BIG fucking difference.

[bklynspursfan]

Wonder if Parker comes in and takes over... Though it starts on the defensive end

[Brunodf]

Put Tony/Kawhi/Splitter in

[DapDaGenius]

What the fuck are you talking about? We have the best record in the fucking Western Conference. Do you watch basketball?

Couldn't care less about our record. If we are having trouble with a bitchmade team, we are playing like a bitch ass team.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Bring in Patty Mills and get the threes going.

[Splits]

Why is Burks left alone when Timmy was on the help?

[Richie]

:lol Parker just comes back from injury and is shooting 50% from the field his first game back. Give me a break.

I'm not saying it isn't understandable that Parker is struggling, but he is struggling nonetheless and it has hurt us in this game.

[RD2191]

THIS TEAM IS GOING NOWHERE THIS POST SEASON, WAY TOO INCONSISTENT, SHUT IT DOWN. LETS GO HOME

[ElNono]

bonner just made a huge 3 in the 4th

and then gave up a layup to Utah in the play right after...

[EVAY]

I'm not saying it isn't understandable that Parker is struggling, but he is struggling nonetheless and it has hurt us in this game.

no.

[TheGoldStandard]

Spurs look like garbage against 9 - 12 but play well against 1- 8

[Splits]

and then gave up a layup to Utah in the play right after...

No, he helped on the drive and someone on the weak side didn't block out.

[Richie]

no.

So you don't think Parker has struggled this game? Are you serious?

[EVAY]

No, he helped on the drive and someone on the weak side didn't block out.

This. This is what happened.

[siraulo23]

and then gave up a layup to Utah in the play right after...

still, he made a 3 in the 4th quarter

[ElNono]

No, he helped on the drive and someone on the weak side didn't block out.

No, he didn't box out, and Millsap ate his lunch right under the basket... he's a big, he needs to play like one

[Cry Havoc]

Yeah but we don't have a prayer to beat the Heat if we keep playing like this.

What does that have to do with what I was talking about?

My god. You guys ever watched the Spurs before or did you just start last year? Regular season losses HAPPEN.

[EVAY]

So you don't think Parker has struggled this game? Are you serious?

I don't think that Parker has hurt the team in this game.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Brazil]

MANU NEEDS TO RETIRE AFTER THIS SEASON, 3 YEAR CONTRACT MY ASS

:lol meltdown

[Quiet Strength]

[EVAY]

Are yall trying to lose yall's game? I mean its Utah for crying out loud.

Apparently.

[emanueldavidginobili]

We need KL to step it up. Wheres that aggresiveness!

[Splits]

Are yall trying to lose yall's game? I mean its Utah for crying out loud.

[SpurPadre]

What does that have to do with what I was talking about?

My god. You guys ever watched the Spurs before or did you just start last year? Regular season losses HAPPEN.

LOL, I've probably been a Spurs fan before you were born. Point is, elite teams should not lose to a team trying to get the lottery in late March at home.

[DapDaGenius]

THAT WAS HARD FOUL, LET DUNCAN SHOOT 10 FREE THROWS FROM THE LINE. C'MON.

[boutons_deux]

tim 10/10 then misses FTs in crunch time

[DapDaGenius]

"I'd imagine he is a little winded"

He played like 8 minutes? lol

[ElNono]

Manu with the clutch steal.... Tony with the clutch floater... everything back to normal, tbh

[bklynspursfan]

Small ball for the win. Kawhi guarding Big Al...

[anakha]

Tony fucking Parker.

Sorry, what was that? I can't hear you over the sound of how wrong you are.

But do continue your cliff jumping. It's cute.

[RD2191]

celebrating a 2 point lead against the garbage jazz :lmao

[Brazil]

Wtf tp ?? We are supposed to loose this game

[jestersmash]

Manu finally finds a wait to contribute to the game. Nice steal.

[EVAY]

Thank you Tony Parker, after thank you Manu Ginobili.

[thunderup]

You were one flop call and KD free throws away from losing to Orlando, tbh

We sucked tonight. It's been a recurring theme for the last couple of games. We're in a funk right now partner. Tonight felt like a loss.

[thunderup]

double post

[Cry Havoc]

celebrating a 2 point lead against the garbage jazz :lmao

We'd definitely celebrate if you left this thread and didn't come back.

[bklynspursfan]

Maybe premature but if we got a stop now then another basket i think we can take this one home.

[RD2191]

We'd definitely celebrate if you left this thread and didn't come back.
2 bad homie cuz i aint leaving

[TheGoldStandard]

Spurs trying to make an argument that they can come back from a deficit too.

[mrjap2x]

Well Matt Bonner saved for that favors dunks, defended quite well.

You don't have to tell me, the idiocy you bring with you leaves a very apparent stench.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Brazil]

2 bad homie cuz i aint leaving

Fortunately your little meltdowns are comedy gold

[jestersmash]

Tony Parker with a KD-esque free throws. That was hardly a foul. And the ball didn't lie. Parker misses both.
