Game Blog - Spurs vs Jazz

[spurschick]

If we don't kill you with threes, we'll simply beat you with germs. :vomit:

[1Parker1]

:lol Not a bad idea, cough and sneeze all over the opposing players.

[SequSpur]

Jazz by 12.

[bdictjames]

Especially Boozer, he's having a hell of a season lately.. oh yeah and Andrei too..

[dbreiden83080]

Alright lets go D GO SPurs GO!!

[MannyIsGod]

THe last time these 2 teams played Boozer owned Tim on both ends of the court. Lets see how Tim does against him tonight.

[MannyIsGod]

Pick and roll defense already looks shitty, again.

[MannyIsGod]

Duncan active on both ends of the court so far. Maybe his early season slumber was broken by the Bucks.

[ALVAREZ6]

Is Gino still out?

[Sam]

Energy that Manu is bringing is unbelievable.

[MannyIsGod]

Duncan rejects Williams

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Who started?

[MannyIsGod]

Manu looks like Manu.

Boozer gets away with an offensive foul and instead DRAWS a foul. Would have been his 3rd.


Duncan just broke Okur down.

The ball was loose on the floor with 3 Spurs around it and FINALLY Horry dropped down and forced a jump ball.

[Tippecanoe]

Bowen, Timmy, Parker, Horry, Manu

[MannyIsGod]

Parker/Manu/Bruce/HorryTD

[VaSpursFan]

the energy is great tonight...they're playing like they care!!!

[Sam]

Timmy with the freshly shaved head has came to play tonight.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Who's on the IR?

[MannyIsGod]

Horry sizes up a 3 and misses. Probabkly the least imppressive offensive possesion of the night.

[MannyIsGod]

Who's on the IR?I'm not sure, but I'm guesing Elson is on there and probably White.

[VaSpursFan]

how did they change a foul on boozer to okur??? boozer only has 1 now...wtf???

[MannyIsGod]

Jazz still controlling the boards. Spurs look marginaly better on defense, but they dont' really have me impressed. The energy is better, mainly because Duncan seems to be playing harder.

[dbreiden83080]

Timmy stop shaving the head it is a terrible look for you.

[Tippecanoe]

btw, i know its early, but spurs being outrebounded 7-1

[VaSpursFan]

btw, i know its early, but spurs being outrebounded 7-1

it won't change...we'll be outrebounded by a large margin tonight

[VaSpursFan]

bonner with the hook!!!

[MannyIsGod]

Bonner scores in the low post. I'm glad he's getting big minutes tonight.

[VaSpursFan]

timmy came to play, no whining just solid b-ball. good strong aggressive moves

[MannyIsGod]

Tim with a good/bad save to Bowen. I hate saves under the opponents basket. TD scores on Boozer. He needs to attack the hell out of Boozer.

[VaSpursFan]

too school he took him...go timmay

[MannyIsGod]

Finley gives the ball to TD 4 feet from the bucket and TD spins and DUNKS. You can't stop a big man when he gets the ball that low. Nice play.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

On foxsports it says Butler got the flu too. Is this right?

[MannyIsGod]

Deron Williams hits a 3 from about 27 feet. Fuck.

[VaSpursFan]

lucky shot by deron...but still a helluva shot

[MannyIsGod]

Vaughn shows his lack of offense by missing from 3 feet after a nice TD pass.

TD picks up his second foul which is going to be a real blow to the Spurs. He's played very well early on but no one really else has. It'll be interesting to see who steps up when he's on the bench.

[MannyIsGod]

lucky shot by deron...but still a helluva shotHe has that range. I dont' think its luck.

[Leetonidas]

On foxsports it says Butler got the flu too. Is this right?
Damn, all our big men are getting owned.

If Oberto has the flu too, he shouldn't even be in the ATT Center.

[Leetonidas]

Vaughn shows his lack of offense by missing from 3 feet after a nice TD pass.

TD picks up his second foul which is going to be a real blow to the Spurs. He's played very well early on but no one really else has. It'll be interesting to see who steps up when he's on the bench.
Eh, I don't think it'll be a real blow. He usually sits at this time in the first anyway.

[VaSpursFan]

He has that range. I dont' think its luck.

may not be but a 3 from 27 late in the shot clock off the dribble...i'll live with that.

[MannyIsGod]

Yes but now when he comes back he needs to watch his fouls which hurts his aggressiveness.

The Spurs need to find some way to rebound while TD is out.

[VaSpursFan]

2nd unit needs to be aggressive and step up big time. everyone needs to play with passion tonight.

[MannyIsGod]

Another foul on the Spurs. Utah misses both FTs though.

[MannyIsGod]

The Boozer/Oberto matchup is going to be tough. Oberto isn't strong enough to keep Boozer out of the lane. On the flip side, I believe he's crafty enough to take advantage of Boozer on the other end, especially given the foul situation.

[VaSpursFan]

bonner looking good tonight.

[MannyIsGod]

A Bonner 3 from Manu, but then Manu with a bad foul with 5 seconds left. Fisher goes to the line.

[VaSpursFan]

bonner is balling...go red rocket

[MannyIsGod]

Bonner is scrapping but he's getting pushed around a big down low. I think he's gotten the short end of the stick on a few foul calls, but hopefully he can get some more boards. I know he's trying though.

Bonner with a couple of dribbles and a pull up jumper thats good to end the quater.

Go Bonner, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[MannyIsGod]

how about a:

up your ass Utah?

[SequSpur]

Pop is showcasing Bonner for the big Maggette trade... Way to go Pop!

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

:lol

[VaSpursFan]

is matt the regular season horry??? he's on fire from deep

[MannyIsGod]

Pop is showcasing Bonner for the big Maggette trade... Way to go Pop!Don't hate on the big slow white man.

Bonner for THREE! Good.

I guess we know who is going to step up when Tim goes down.

[SequSpur]

spurschick is right, with out manu who would want to buy tickets to see oberto bonner and beno?

[boutons_]

The guys in black/white, tonight, are apparently the Spurs.

Tim decides to wake up and gets 2 fouls. He looks pretty intense and alert and interested, for a change.

[VaSpursFan]

JV doing a great job of running the offense. beno...take notes

[SequSpur]

very intense, about got damn time.

[MannyIsGod]

Bonner gets a nice ovation when he heads to the bench.

I know there will never be a game when I have to question Bonner's desire.

[SequSpur]

JV doing a great job of running the offense. beno...take notes

i would be surprised if beno isn't on the ir soon with a sore labia.

[SequSpur]

manu out of control...

[VaSpursFan]

good TO Pop...remind them to play d.

[MannyIsGod]

The interior D flat out sucks without Duncan. I might be able to shoot in the lane against the Spurs.

Oberto is great about hitting spots, but he really can't do much about it other than stick his hands up.

[VaSpursFan]

i would be surprised if beno isn't on the ir soon with a sore labia.

:lol :lol :lol :lol

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

How come no E-Will?

[MannyIsGod]

Because Bonner is kicking ass.

[MannyIsGod]

Good D on back to bakc possesions.

[MannyIsGod]

Barry with a drive and a chance for a 3 point play.

[VaSpursFan]

aggressive move by barry...love the novel concept of attacking the basket

[MannyIsGod]

Bad D there, Okur gets into the lane WAY too easily.

[VaSpursFan]

bowen with the big stuff on kirilenko

[MannyIsGod]

Bowen with a block of AK. Tony penetrating at will right now and doing it well.

[MannyIsGod]

Missed both FTs. Tim back in.

[MannyIsGod]

I would like the Spurs to advance this lead to double digits before the end of the Q. Its easily do able and with Tim in there they SHOULD do it.

[VaSpursFan]

i agree and would like to add that they maintain the double digit lead and blow the jazz out

[ducks]

Utah 24 15 39 2:50

San Antonio 29 22 51 2nd

[VaSpursFan]

up 12 can we keep it rolling???

[MannyIsGod]

The only way this team regains its defensive prowess from years past is if Elson learns the system. Otherwise this kind of defense is all we can expect.

[MannyIsGod]

Tim needs to keep getting the ball right outside that no charge zone. Thats easy buckets all day long.

[1Parker1]

How come Horry started? Oberto sick, but he's still playing...?

[ducks]

:02.8 SA - T. Parker made a 19-foot jumper from the left wing

[VaSpursFan]

spurs came to play tonight...we need to maintain this intensity for the 2nd half. GO SPURS!!!

[ducks]

who sAID TP WAS NOT CLUTCH!

[MannyIsGod]

I think so.

God damn its good to be a Spurs fan when Duncan comes to play.

If anyone wasn't convinced he's been sleep walking, look at tonights game and compare it to the last and compare it to the rest of his season. Night and day.

[Fabbs]

Good 1st half, Pop included :spin :clap
:hungry:

[ducks]

TP IS 8-11 and the three misses are layups

[VaSpursFan]

rebounds, spurs 22, utah 19...who woulda thunk it??

[Amuseddaysleeper]

How is Butler doing?

[ducks]

spurs are outrebounding them 22-19

they were down 9-1 at the 5 minute mark in the first

[dimsah]

I like the aggressiveness they have tonight.

[Tippecanoe]

spurs are outrebounding them 22-19

they were down 9-1 at the 5 minute mark in the first

not sure if you'd count this, but jazz do have 8 team rebounds as opposed to spurs' 3

[dimsah]

How is Butler doing?
Hasn't played yet.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

damn i wish i can see this game.:depressedhttp://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/dramaqueen.gifhttp://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smibang.gif

league pass :downspin: :downspin:

[VaSpursFan]

timmy for 3...and the miss. horry on the offensive boards...wow

[Dre_7]

Wow! Did I read that right? Three straight O Rebs for Horry on ONE pos? Damn!

[boutons_]

At the half, Spurs winining the game +15 and the boxscore all across the box, including, +3 RBs!

Come on, Spurs, isn't it so much more fun to play ball like this? What's not to love?

[VaSpursFan]

Wow! Did I read that right? Three straight O Rebs for Horry on ONE pos? Damn!

that's right and he just capped his evening off with a flush...horry found the fountain of youth

[VaSpursFan]

horry for 3...damn...did he eat his wheaties???

[VaSpursFan]

good to Pop...remind them that game has 4 quarters and they have to keep playing d.

[VaSpursFan]

horry with the o board, the layup and missed the free throw.

[missmyzte]

Someone must have told RoHo that's it's April, he's playing like he's awake!

[VaSpursFan]

Someone must have told RoHo that's it's April, he's playing like he's awake!

tell me about it...he's playing out of his mind today

[TwoHandJam]

I think so.

God damn its good to be a Spurs fan when Duncan comes to play.

If anyone wasn't convinced he's been sleep walking, look at tonights game and compare it to the last and compare it to the rest of his season. Night and day.
I hear you. I've been saying the same things to friends of mine but damn it sucks when they phone it in like they have been the past few games.

It's really nice to see the effort tonight but it makes you wish they could go the distance all the time. Damn they're kicking Utah's ass tonight!

[VaSpursFan]

up by 22 and no beno...he's under pop's dog house

[TwoHandJam]

Someone must have told RoHo that's it's April, he's playing like he's awake!
The rebounding alone from Horry is a godsend. That is really nice to see, especially against a great rebounding team like Utah.

[VaSpursFan]

his offensive boards are what have me salivating...those are precious

[VaSpursFan]

up 27 after 3...good statement game

[Tippecanoe]

random pointless observation: the spurs have scored exactly 29 points in each of the first three quarters

[1Parker1]

random pointless observation: the spurs have scored exactly 29 points in each of the first three quarters

:lol Maybe they're score 29 in the 4th too?

[MannyIsGod]

This game means nothing until I see the ones that follow. If they're back to their old tricks in the next few games, or even 5 down the line, then I'm not sold on shit. I expect a big win streak now. If they play like they did tonight there is no reason that it shouldn't happen.

[slayermin]

Beno sighting

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

damn it.

[jman3000]

time to check out phx and dallas... :wakeup

[VaSpursFan]

who was the guy on the sidelines they were talking to?

r. c. buford

[unnosy]

hi, did our starters even play in the 4th

[milkyway21]

score, please?

[lefty]

:flag:
I expected Spurs to win this one ; they have more motivation when they play a good team

[AlamoSpursFan]

ok thanks, i missed the first part of the talk. and didn't really know what buford looked like.

He shops (or at least shopped once) at the Super Walmart on Austin Highway. I bumped into him (almost literally) there earlier this year.

[dimsah]

I'm assuming Butler is inactive? Or is Pop that much of a dickhole that he won't play him when they're up 30?



Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said forward Eric Williams and center Jackie Butler could see more time depending on matchups.
Matchups must not be good. You don't want him playing against rookies of all things.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

told you the Jazz suck :smokin

they are a .500 ball club that had a great start, nothing more :lol

[Leetonidas]

hi, did our starters even play in the 4th
Not really, no.

[Leetonidas]

He was in street clothes.

[J.T.]

Spurs blow it open in the second half, keep the lead, play good D, and outrebound a hot rebounding club like the Jazz?

All I can say is "Damn!" Where are the Spurs and what has Pop done with them?!?!

[ducks]

horry had 7 rebounds and 3 steals
wow

[dimsah]

He was in street clothes.
That makes no fucking sense to me. We knew Elson was out, and that Oberto is fighting off the flu. Why would he not have an extra big in case Oberto couldn't have kept going? Did he plan on Horry playing 35 minutes, or Bonner playing center?

I got my hopes up thinking Butler was going to be able to play most of the 4th.

Bonner and Horry both played very well.

[dimsah]

Bonner and Horry both played very well.
They did play well. I wasn't suggesting otherwise.
As I said, I had my hopes up that Butler was going to get some significant minutes due to the score. I wasn't aware he was inactive. This would have been the perfect game to get him in there for 10 - 12 minutes.

[u2sarajevo]

What a domination by the Spurs tonight. Congratulations on the win.

[T Park]

Get over yourself.


Matchups must not be good. You don't want him playing against rookies of all things.

Butler against Okur, or Boozer?

No not good matchups.


The guy isn't going to play consistent minutes until next year, accept it, and move on.

[Kori Ellis]

Butler was inactive. Elson/Butler/JWhite.

[dav4463]

Now please avoid a letdown and play Spurs basketball.........GO SPURS GO !!!!!!

[angel_luv]

I was in attendance at the game tonight.

It was my first time being off of work during a Spurs game since I started working at the Terrace Club.
I felt a little in the wrong place at first, but I got over that pretty quickly. :)

My seat was awesome- section 101, row 7. Thanks TMTTRIO. :)
I went to the railing. I didn't get to see Gino and Timmy- ushers wouldn't let me down until six :( - but Matt Bonner gave me his autograph.

Over the course of the evening, I saw Yardley Bowen with Ojani whom smiled at me, Many Ginobili, and Amy Duncan with cute little Sydney.

Even better, I saw Kori, Spurs Chick, and T-Park at half time. :)



I really enjoyed watching the pkayers interact with each other both on and off the court. That is something I am usually too far away to see.

I was pleased to see the Spurs play more like themselves. I hope and expect the improvement trend to continue.

[Solid D]

I went to the game tonight, also and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Spurs blow their pipes out. All that repressed defensive energy was released, once again.

:)

[spurschick]

Who clearly should've been home in bed. :vomit: And, as noted, Yardley is pregnant again.

[polandprzem]

Ohh just a night off for Utah, so everybody would have won with them that night

[dimsah]

Get over yourself.



Butler against Okur, or Boozer?

No not good matchups.


The guy isn't going to play consistent minutes until next year, accept it, and move on.
You're pretty self-righteous, aren't ya?

[Cherry]

Many Ginobili who clearly should've been home in bed. :vomit:



...mmm...a little bird told me...
