Game Thread: Spurs @ Jazz -- Thurs. (2/25) - 9:30PM CST (5:30AM Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

Quick turnaround as we're in Utah tonight to take on a 28-28 Jazz team that are winners of 9 of their last 12, and coming off an OT victory against Houston. Matty and Manu out again tonight, but Kawhi is expected to play again. Utah usually plays us tough so I'm expecting a dogfight tonight. No excuses. Let's get it.

are those stats right? the Lakers are 3rd? and those aren't the years that Kobe was there.

are those stats right? the Lakers are 3rd? and those aren't the years that Kobe was there.

Lakers only won 34 games in 2005 and didn't make the playoffs. And then of course only won 27 games last year.

He looks the same to me but if he actually is bigger, I would not be surprised if he did a LeBron HGH-mid-season-treatment. A week+ off to bring on the Juice and clean after.

[BatManu20]

And to think that those are the good old days to this year's team.

Cheers to that :toast

Hey do me a favour and do a throwback to one of those 90s Jazz vs Spurs playoff series :lol

how many times did Timmy beat Malone in the playoffs? Exactly. Pussy ass bitch.

Why such hostility dude?

BTW It's not like TD had a lot of time to compete against Malone, so not seeing the point in asking that.

He posted that as its Spurs vs Jazz and likely showing just how long TD has been around....

The most remarkable part of his performance tonight is that only 1 of those 51 points came off of a free throw... That's incredible.

sorry brother. You've probably been the first non-douchey Spursfan I've seen here in ~3 years of posting here.

No prob man. I know there's a lot of garbage posters here, it makes it frustrating to come here to want to talk basketball.

There are some good ones here. like a handful lol.. but the poster you quoted is one of the good ones, I guess that's why I asked.

Kawhi!

To be fair, Danny would had missed that floater even if Gobert wasnt there

Don't worry, Green will stop him.

I am Big Picture a little worried as we don't seem to be improving, and the RRT is usually when we see it. Recent injuries to Kawhi, Timmy and Man (3 of our 6 most important players) obviously has cut into our gel time.

No Manu. Obviously he's still a vital piece for this team since Green can't make shots other than 3's and Anderson/Simmons are too raw.

Don't know if we'll win this game though. It has that feeling of a loss because too many players are struggling.
