Game 23: Spurs @ Utah - Saturday, Dec 14, 8:00PM (CST)

[exstatic]

Give Favors any jump shot he wants.

Ugh, can one of the mods change the game number from 23 to 24?

[HI-FI]

look forward to this game, be the first in awhile I'll have time to catch. Utah will play us hard per the par.

[TXstbobcat]

I'm guessing the pop is resting Duncan this game.

[Mel_13]

I'm guessing the pop is resting Duncan this game.

4th game in 5 nights(the only one of the season) and the 4th of 7 games in 10 nights. When you also consider the travel to play in Utah, it certainly fits the profile of the sort of game that Pop has used to rest Tim in recent seasons. Hopefully Tiago and Baynes are ready to go. If all three of them sit, the Spurs will be very small.

This is why we called up Thomas. Considering the Jazz are pretty much a D-league team he should dominate while guiding us to victory :hat

[BillMc]

I'm guessing the pop is resting Duncan this game.

Yeah, I'd guess that too. That said, we're a little short on bigs with Tiago and Baynes out. (If Baynes is still out). Without TD too, we're left with Boris, Ayers, and Bonner for the 4/5, unless Pop plans to play small most of the game with Leonard at the 4.

[RD2191]

Any word on Tim? Is he playing tonight?

[emanueldavidginobili]

Tim Manu and Tony are TBD as of right now

[hooperflash]

Where's Melissa, tbh :depressed

[Joyrider]

Injury report: Tiago Splitter will not play in tonight's Spurs-Jazz game. Aron Baynes has been activated and will be in uniform tonight.

[Robz4000]

At least Baynes is gonna play. Win or lose if Kawhi, Baynes, Thomas, CoJo, and even Nando get some run this game will be fun.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Ginobili is shooting 54.1 percent over his last nine games, including 47.7 percent from 3-point range.

[heyheymymy]

:flag:

[Spurs Brazil]

damn, League Pass is down

[RD2191]

is this on fssw?

[TE]

is this on fssw?
Yeah

[RD2191]

Yeah
awesome, thanks

[TE]

It is going to be interesting to see how the team does if Tim Tony and Manu sit out. Like HIFI, this is one game I'll be able to fully catch in its entirety. Hope it's aight tbh

[RD2191]

I would like to see have another breakout game, tbh

[TE]

That Thunder game looks like one worth going to...

[crc21209]

According to Bill and Sean, everyone but Splitter is available tonight.

[crc21209]

That Thunder game looks like one worth going to...

I saw them last season when TP was out and the Spurs won. Pretty good game...:tu

[TE]

All that's missing is a STdalamon sighting imo

[barakz21]

Does it look like TD will play? For some reason he looks tired.. Or sick.

[RD2191]

Does it look like TD will play? For some reason he looks tired.. Or sick.
dat new gf, tbh

[TXstbobcat]

damn, League Pass is down


Im getting the the same thing on my iPad for league pass. What the hell???

[RD2191]

[RD2191]

[TE]

Lol the time that league pass is free it's down, sucks for you all tbh. I'm glad the coverage here in the valley has been fixed. Bout fucking time

sup with utrgv? tbh?

[TE]

Is that Crawford ?

[jeebus]

get rid of airs

[TE]

sup with utrgv? tbh?
It's being made into a big deal. The only badass thing about it all is the medical school. Both universities will remain as is imo with panam (UT-RGV north campus) benefitting a lil more from the merge

sweet, was wondering what all the jazz was about

[TE]

Shots aren't going down

[RD2191]

damn ayres

[TE]

Lol airs

[RD2191]

slow start, LOL jefferson

[jeebus]

jesus christ airs.

[TE]

HWSNBN going ham

[r0drig0lac]

jefferson goes full nets 2003

[RD2191]

take that white boy to the rim kawhi, fuck

[emanueldavidginobili]

Tony looks gassed already

[TE]

Dragging ass, player movement not quick enough to initiate offensive sets = this shit

[TE]

God Ayres sucks

[RD2191]

geezus tim

[emanueldavidginobili]

We need a Manu and Marco spark

[SpursFan86]

I know it's only December...but god damn I hope Ayres isn't in the rotation come playoff time.

[r0drig0lac]

giannis will be a beast as soon

[Spurs Brazil]

Ayres finds a way to get worst game after game

[kjhip1]

Dang Ayers is out...freakin Diaw..C'mon pop

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

At Utah again what the fuck?

[TE]

I don't think Ayres is cerebral enough to get the offense down with one year. Granted he's had a full training camp but he looks like he doesn't know wtf he's doing out there. Couple that with not knowing how to use your abilities within the offense you get somebody who looks lost IMO

[ElNono]

sloppy

[TE]

Dragging ass

[emanueldavidginobili]

Their literally giving Tim that shot

[kjhip1]

this game is so exciting..cant say enough about the defense being played today

[TE]

Yup Tim's going to have to knock that down. Either that or Pop's gonna have to change up that offensive scheme.

[RD2191]

this game is so exciting..cant say enough about the defense being played today
:lol

[Arcadian]

This is late, but just wanted to say it:

:lol Jefferson scoring on Ayres

[RD2191]

Baynes in!

[kjhip1]

Baynes skying for the rebound

[RD2191]

come on baynes

[ElNono]

patty

[Darkwaters]

Mills is a little ball of energy

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!!

[kjhip1]

seriously though Marco is downright scorching from 3 this season

[Darkwaters]

Nice 3 for Marco

[RD2191]

marco is gangsta, tbh

[TXstbobcat]

Marco333

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

The Jazz have an announcer named Boner?

[kjhip1]

gino with the layup goods

[Darkwaters]

seriously though Marco is downright scorching from 3 this season

Hes not trying to do those step back, fade away shots all the time. Hes finally getting the chance to set his feet, catch and shoot with space. It makes a difference...and I believe it's why he came to SA.

[TXstbobcat]

[kjhip1]

yeah I agree, plus him and manu have chemistry as if theyve been playing together for years..

[kjhip1]

even the court for the Jazz is so boring and unappealing..amazing!! full timeout after what 10-20 seconds into the 2nd quarter

[GB20]

i am glad pop is giving baynes minutes

[kjhip1]

[Libri]

[RD2191]

[Texas_Ranger]

Baynes is a God compared to Ayres

[spurraider21]

[GB20]

baynes is getting better and better

[Robz4000]

Baynes :tu

[kjhip1]

Baynes looks more comfortable in the offense since coming back from Dleague...

[jeebus]

soon to be subbed out for errors :lol

I saw Boner with no warmups on. I'd rather have him in for Bane than Faggot.

[kjhip1]

Timmy with the ft Dhoward goods

[kjhip1]

three bombs being thrown out in this place

[ElNono]

lol jazz

[loveforthegame]

Paging Danny Green. Paging Danny Green.

Bonner feeling threatened by Thomas? :lol

[Libri]

I think it's the Utah commentators but they said that Bonner is a Jazz killer.

[kjhip1]

lol mormons

[kjhip1]

lol annoucers talking about 2 game winning streak in their pre-game

[SpursFan86]

Everyone on the Spurs with +/- +6 or better...besides Ayres with a -2 :lol

[LoneStarState'sPride]

lol annoucers talking about 2 game winning streak in their pre-game

:lol

[kjhip1]

stacey augman appearance

[Darkwaters]

I think it's the Utah commentators but they said that Bonner is a Jazz killer.

If your describing Bonner as the guy that has consistently killed your team then I doubt you have had much of a playoff pedigree recently.

[kjhip1]

Timmmaayyy

[Darkwaters]

Haha, Bonner trying for the Manu-esque flop.

[kjhip1]

4-0 run Jazz...

[Libri]

If your describing Bonner as the guy that has consistently killed your team then I doubt you have had much of a playoff pedigree recently.

true

[RD2191]

wtf spurs

[kjhip1]

annoucers happy they have a play of the game

[kjhip1]

that is so pretty from timmy

[RD2191]

terrible close to the half

[kjhip1]

did Jefferson throw his shoulder into Manu?

[TE]

That final defensive lineup was the one that let Miami tie the game :(

[Budkin]

RJ tough guy.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

That better be RJ's last highlight

[timmy2003]

good first half

[Budkin]

Jazz will come most of the way back but Spurs will hang on.

[kjhip1]

dang Portland with 131 points and 5 minutes left

[HI-FI]

Bonner was drilling some good shit out there. Kawhi getting lots of burn. Fun game.

[313]

dang Portland with 131 points and 5 minutes left
21-37 from three

[RD2191]

21-37 from three
damn

[Budkin]

dang Portland with 131 points and 5 minutes left

Man remember when everyone though the Blazers would be lottery bound this year? Yeah that was funny.

[kjhip1]

21-37 from three

somehow I dont think theyre a fluke team.. I think they ave an excellent chance of getting far in the playoffs..they look dang good

[RD2191]

fawwwkkkk

[jeebus]

someone shoot airs

[Trainwreck2100]

Oh look Ayres is in the game. Pop obviously wants to give the fans their moneys worth

[kjhip1]

of course Ayers wasnt ready

[RD2191]

gtfo ayres

[Darkwaters]

Ayres is just terrible

[313]

errors is terrible

[TE]

Like I said, Ayres is just errors

[kjhip1]

hey guys he's trying!!

[TE]

And even with time, I wouldn't give him the benefit of doubt

[kjhip1]

monterous rebound by ayres!!

[TE]

Airs sloppiness contagious

[jeebus]

crofl Airs had a chance for a put back and fucked it up. fucking useless

[Texas_Ranger]

watching Ayers play basketball is very funny.

[313]

somehow I dont think theyre a fluke team.. I think they ave an excellent chance of getting far in the playoffs..they look dang goodtheyre the #2 team in the west second to the spurs tbh. It's gonna take a sound defensive team to beat them, because I don't see a team outscoring them. Seeing as the west isn't loaded with defensive minded teams, they should be set for a run, barring injury

[Budkin]

Ayres has to fucking go. Has to.

[Trainwreck2100]

Time for Kangaraynes

[Darkwaters]

Time for Kangaraynes

2/10

[TE]

Danny Green falling behind the screen is rearing its ugly head

[Texas_Ranger]

Danny Green is a great defensive player my ass.

[Reck]

:lmao Leonard getting his ankles broken by Hayward.

And ROFL at Jefferson having the game of his life against the Spurs. Go figure. :lol

[kjhip1]

agree..the cogs on that team are lillard and Aldridge...but they are fun to watch and Portland is definitely not a fun place to play at

[Budkin]

RJ shitting on the Spurs :lol

[kjhip1]

:lmao Leonard getting his ankles broken by Hayward.

And ROFL at Jefferson having the game of his life against the Spurs. Go figure. :lol

I believe he slipped, tbh

[GB20]

every time ayers is on the court, the other teams make big runs

[Rito3d30]

god damn Ayres suck:bang

[kjhip1]

every time ayers is on the court, the other teams make big runs

its because theyre playing 4 on 5 on off/def

[RD2191]

duncan

[kjhip1]

que the bench!!! please pop

[Reck]

No idea why the Spurs cant have an all around game without having one massive shitty quarter per game.

I'd be cool to see a wire to wire all around good game by the Spurs every so often. Specially against shitty ass teams.

[kjhip1]

spurs go up by 20 watch

[RD2191]

[jeebus]

Errors is incredible at one thing though. I've never seen a player to be able to come in a game for the team with the lead and instantly cause said team to lose the lead. It's unfuckingbelievable.

[313]
