Round 3, Game 1: Spurs vs Jazz Official Game Blog Thread

[TDMVPDPOY]

millsap padding his off reb stats by missin his own shots

[TampaDude]

Damn...that would've been a sweet jam by Horry...oh, well... :lol

[Ginofan]

Manu is on FIYAH!

[CubanMustGo]

Nice miss Fisger, you asshole. Manu for 2!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

mAN THAT WAS BEAUTIFULL!!

[Tippecanoe]

man, ginobili is really rebounding well

EDIT: and shooting!! 3-3 now

[TampaDude]

That was sweet!

[howbouthemspurs]

Ginobili!!

[Warlord23]

Manu is unstoppable today

[GrandeDavid]

No, I just happen to like watching basketball you asshole. Just seeing the Spurs get the same calls that they got against us.

No, you like being antagonized because you are a loser and have nothing better do with your miserable life than hang around the fan forum of your team's adversary...I mean, owner. :)

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

12-0 run for the spurs

[atxrocker]

nice shot for okur

[easjer]

Milsap is a beast.

Amazing.

Manu looking good so far.

Okur's 3 is pretty.

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto!!!!!!!

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

ouch, memo again

[Mavs<Spurs]

are they not going to defend Okur's 3s?

dumb

[spursrocksocks]

oh oh oberto

[atxrocker]

there ya go harpring

[atxrocker]

3 pt sa game

[boutons_]

Don't force it, Manu

[Horry For 3!]

Okur is always goin to shoot that 3 from the spot where he made his last 2

[TampaDude]

Can't leave those open 3s, guys!

[CubanMustGo]

Can't let Harpring shoot that 10-footer.

Gotta pretend to defend Okur at the three-point line.

[Tippecanoe]

damn ginobili. i'll live with that.

[easjer]

I realize they want to stay inside, but they shouldn't really leave Okur open from 3. He hits it a lot, and it looks like a fucking drill.

[Mavs<Spurs]

21-18, our lead, Utah's ball.

anyone else listening to Bill Schoening on woai 1200 am?

Beats the heck out of ABC!

:fro

[Amarelooms]

Louisiana Tech Bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TampaDude]

Oops on Manu...but no worries, we'll be fine...just keep playing...control the tempo...

[spursreport]

Okur is a turkish faggot who is gonna try to act like a fake tough sob. Oh and someone needs to punch Milsap in the face for trying to act like he is something. He hustles and all but he thinks he is all that when he really isnt.

[ATXSPUR]

I am pleased. It looks like Super Manu decided to stick around. Millsap is a f'ing monster with rebounds. But I am pleased with the game overall so far.

[Warlord23]

Key stats:
Turnovers - SA has 3, Utah has 2
Offensive boards: SA -1, Utah - 4

We're shooting 61.5% to their 31.2% and are up just 3

[Nashfan]

No, you like being antagonized because you are a loser and have nothing better do with your miserable life than hang around the fan forum of your team's adversary...I mean, owner. :)


You are a fucking idiot! You have no idea what you are talking about. I love basketball, no matter who is playing. Get a clue!

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

If Okur gets that open look all game, then the Spurs may pay for it in the 4th

[GrandeDavid]

No, I just happen to like watching basketball you asshole. Just seeing the Spurs get the same calls that they got against us.

Very few calls, that would be. Phoenix got all the calls against San Antonio. You guys even got a Horry suspended two games thanks to Steve Nash's punk bitch flop. That little fraud.

So you guys had every chance to prove yourselves against San Antonio. Your team did proved that they are vastly inferior. That's three eliminations since 2003. :fro

Window shut!

[CubanMustGo]

Louisiana Tech Bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So how sad is it when someone with a Phoenix Sun player for an ID and "Dallas Mavericks" for a team is still posting here after both teams are long gone from the playoffs, anyway?

[Amarelooms]

So how sad is it when someone with a Phoenix Sun player for an ID and "Dallas Mavericks" for a team is still posting here after both teams are long gone from the playoffs, anyway?

I went to LA TECH dumb FUCK.... :elephant

[TampaDude]

If Okur gets that open look all game, then the Spurs may pay for it in the 4th

Yeah, really...that wide open 3 could kill us...gotta take that away...

[Tippecanoe]

dang. utah killing us on the boards

[Warlord23]

More O-boards for Utah

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Manuuuuu

[TampaDude]

Gino coast to coast!!!

[Tippecanoe]

ginobili!!!

you really couldnt dunk that?? :rolleyes

[GrandeDavid]

You are a fucking idiot! You have no idea what you are talking about. I love basketball, no matter who is playing. Get a clue!


Awww, you getting a bit feisty? Hey, since your Steve Nash bottle is still heating up, I have a little pacifier for you:

I'll be enjoying the Spurs in the WCF and (hopefully) Finals down low live at the AT&T Center. I'll email you pics.

[ATXSPUR]

is it just me or is the commentary a little ahead of the game?

[Warlord23]

Manu is the difference so far!

[easjer]

Nice sequence.

However, you got to finish around the basket and you've got to pull those rebounds down, not tap them out.

[CubanMustGo]

Wow, nice pass from Tony to Gino between the legs of Okur results in a fast break bucket.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

That was a beautiful pass by Tony!!

[Spurs Brazil]

TP to Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

What a pass!!! :Lol

[howbouthemspurs]

hahaha through the legs!!

[CubanMustGo]

is it just me or is the commentary a little ahead of the game?

Same here

[Nashfan]

Very few calls, that would be. Phoenix got all the calls against San Antonio. You guys even got a Horry suspended two games thanks to Steve Nash's punk bitch flop. That little fraud.

So you guys had every chance to prove yourselves against San Antonio. Your team did proved that they are vastly inferior. That's three eliminations since 2003. :fro

Window shut!


Yeah, keep spewing shit you idiot. You have no idea what you are talking about. Nash did not flop.

[Ginofan]

ugh i hate this camera!!!

[Tippecanoe]

WTF parker??

EDIT: well, he has played every minute this quarter

[Jockularity!]

Whoever was doing the ESPN Radio show today around 10:30 Pacific said Tony Parker and Jason Kidd were the two top point guards in these Playoffs. I'd be hard-pressed to argue.

[CubanMustGo]

Bad pass by Parker, Utah can tie it here.

[TampaDude]

Damn, Parker...that's two bad passes...calm down, dude!

That pass between the defender's legs to Gino was $$$, though! :toast

[Warlord23]

2nd time Parker has thrown that into the crowd

[GrandeDavid]

Fuckin Barry.

[easjer]

Tony needs to stop throwing it away.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Parker with the touchdown pass hehe

[Ginofan]

I'll take the lead with how bad we started out the quarter.

[CubanMustGo]

23-20 SA after one. Outscored Utah 23-13 after trailing early.

[Mavs<Spurs]

23-20 Spurs.

Terrible beginning, but we recovered some.

Still don't look great. But we have the lead.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP must attack

Jazz transition D is very poor

[Nashfan]

Awww, you getting a bit feisty? Hey, since your Steve Nash bottle is still heating up, I have a little pacifier for you:

I'll be enjoying the Spurs in the WCF and (hopefully) Finals down low live at the AT&T Center. I'll email you pics.


Yeah, you better pray a lot about getting to the finals or even having a chance to win it. If your team makes it there the Pistons will beat your asses.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

nice qtr.

Dwill is a non-factor, as are Boozer and Duncan. That will change

[SpursFanFirst]

Since we have a break, I have a serious question...that goaltending by AK47...was that really goaltending?
I don't know that rule specifically..

[howbouthemspurs]

Good first Q

[Warlord23]

I'll take the lead with how bad we started out the quarter.

Yeah but we need a big lead heading into the 4th ... they'll likely have the advantage in energy late in the game. We shoulda been up at least 7 with the way we've defended and shot the ball. Too many turnovers and o-boards

[CubanMustGo]

Yeah, you better pray a lot about getting to the finals or even having a chance to win it. If your team makes it there the Pistons will beat your asses.

Well, at least our prayers can still be answered. How many decades have yours fallen unanswered, and every year you have another excuse to explain why.

Go home.

[Spurs Brazil]

Defense looks good but we need to finish it with a board

[easjer]

I say again, this is going to be a loooooooong series.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

why can't Suns fans just let the playoffs go? Your team got it handed to them, get over it. So the Spurs owned the Nuggets and Suns, whats new?

[duncan228]

Yeah, you better pray a lot about getting to the finals or even having a chance to win it. If your team makes it there the Pistons will beat your asses.

Did you miss the '05 Finals?
The Pistons are no better now than they were then.

[TampaDude]

Since we have a break, I have a serious question...that goaltending by AK47...was that really goaltending?
I don't know that rule specifically..

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing...I thought that once the ball hits the rim, it's fair game.

[Zarko]

The goal tend call was legit. Once the ball hits the rim or backboard (in this case it did) the call is automatic. Its really a timing issue on that call.

[judaspriestess]

Yeah, you better pray a lot about getting to the finals or even having a chance to win it. If your team makes it there the Pistons will beat your asses.

and even if, and thats a big IF the Spurs lost to the Pistons they are a worthy opponent. Not like your lil whiny immature gang.

[Amarelooms]

why can't Suns fans just let the playoffs go? Your team got it handed to them, get over it. So the Spurs owned the Nuggets and Suns, whats new?

The Suns hardly got it "handed" to them....they were not blown out genius :elephant

[Ginofan]

Yeah but we need a big lead heading into the 4th ... they'll likely have the advantage in energy late in the game. We shoulda been up at least 7 with the way we've defended and shot the ball. Too many turnovers and o-boards
True true. But I expect to be playing catchup with the rebounding situation. We'll settle down and let our experience take over. 10 point lead by halftime, I'm guessing.

[Nashfan]

Well, at least our prayers can still be answered. How many decades have yours fallen unanswered, and every year you have another excuse to explain why.

Go home.


I don't have any excuses :rolleyes

[JAZZinSIX]

They never showed an angle to be able to tell...

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Eh Jazz went away from their game after that 7-0 lead. They will be okay

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop hits a shot lol

[GrandeDavid]

Yeah, you better pray a lot about getting to the finals or even having a chance to win it. If your team makes it there the Pistons will beat your asses.

Eek.

[SpursFanFirst]

The goal tend call was legit. Once the ball hits the rim or backboard (in this case it did) the call is automatic. Its really a timing issue on that call.

Thank you. I know the announcers agreed, but that doesn't mean anything.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Barry

Wake Up

[Ginofan]

Oh Brent, wipe that butter off your hands man!

[Tippecanoe]

god damn barry :madrun

[conversekid]

barry for 3! ...err.. wait...

[howbouthemspurs]

common barry!

[CubanMustGo]

Utah now 5-22 on shots. Barry turns it over, still 23-20.

[TampaDude]

Damn, Barry...

[WalterBenitez]

oue #17 is Nazr?

[Nashfan]

Did you miss the '05 Finals?
The Pistons are no better now than they were then.


I happen to think they are better. :blah

[Warlord23]

another turnover damnit

[GrandeDavid]

Anyone have a sopcast link?

[Zarko]

I love that duncan is getting a big rest and we still have the lead. Keep them fresh pop!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD is back

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

The Suns hardly got it "handed" to them....they were not blown out genius :elephant

oh, i 4got that mavs fans know exactly what it means to get it handed to them.

[naico]

stop with the turnovers and get hose damn rebounds!!

[TampaDude]

I happen to think they are better. :blah

They are better. The Pistons are the one team from the East that can beat the Spurs.

[duncan228]

I happen to think they are better. :blah

You thought the Suns would be in the WCF.

[Spurs Brazil]

Horry is playing great D

[Spurs Brazil]

2nd on Kirilenko

[CubanMustGo]

AK picks up 2 in a hurry, takes a seat.

[TampaDude]

2 quick PFs on Kirilenko

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tippecanoe]

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Man these refs are so soft

[TampaDude]

[CubanMustGo]

TD! The bank is open!!

[GrandeDavid]

Nuggets Fan showing some love! Nice!

[Tippecanoe]

[CubanMustGo]

28-22, 9:35

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Frankie!

[Warlord23]

Elson?? :wtf

[Ginofan]

Come on Elson, start this series off good!

[naico]

dont be jumpin on every fake elson..

[GrandeDavid]

I happen to think they are better. :blah

You happen to be incapable of thinking very much.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD dominating

[easjer]

Nice open look for Barry, good on Timmy.

[Zarko]

we are getting all the calls

[Warlord23]

Barry has zero confidence and rhythm

[velik_m]

Go spurs!

[easjer]

Timmy hitting the Fts is going to be a good thing if it continues.

[Zarko]

not that I am complaining though... its actually refreshing

[boutons_]

Tim's getting under his FTs, making them.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Timmmayyy!y!!!

[Tippecanoe]

Timmay!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mvp!! Mvp!! Mvp!!

EDIT: i hate how ST lowercases everything :depressed

[Nashfan]

You thought the Suns would be in the WCF.


Never heard that from me

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

r all these foul calls legit on both sides?

Don't get me wrong, im happy to see the Jazz get screwed :lol

[CubanMustGo]

Okur back in.

Two more FTs for Timmay, 1-2. 31-22 after Timmay puts the rebound in!!

[TampaDude]

Great rebound, TD!!!

[Warlord23]

Duncan is beasting!

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Barry has zero confidence and rhythm

That's nothing new.
:rolleyes

[howbouthemspurs]

DUncan... unstoppable!

[boutons_]

hearing my comment, Tim bricks FT badly off the rim front.

[Amarelooms]

Utah's offense sucks...syndrome of too many WHITE guys

[CubanMustGo]

SA Timeout after Harpring hits a midrange jumper. 31-24 SA, 8:45 left in the half.

SA will be in the bonus the rest of the way as Utah has not yet figured a way to slow down Timmay.

[GrandeDavid]

Nashfan, I'm starting to feel bad for picking on you. I'll leave you alone, bro.

[Mavs<Spurs]

any revisions from our trolls?


Lot of game left, but it is pretty clear that their comments and overconfidence were unwarranted.

Our demise was greatly exaggerated.

:lol

[gaKNOW!blee]

Duncan better be careful, hes gonna play himself right into the discussion of the best player of all time.

[duncan228]

Duncan will lead this team.

[easjer]

The fouls I've seen have been legit on both sides, but I haven't seen them all. There have been some no-calls on both sides, but that is always the case when Danny Crawford refs - he's very hands off.

[Amarelooms]

Duncan better be careful, hes gonna play himself right into the discussion of the best player of all time.

HAHAHAHA :elephant

[Zarko]

r all these foul calls legit on both sides?

Don't get me wrong, im happy to see the Jazz get screwed :lol

It seems like we are getting the benefit of the doubt on most of the calls. I could easily see them whistle an over the back by duncan a couple plays ago. Instead its a no call followed by a blocking foul on Millsap.

I would be frustrated if I were a Jazz fan...

[Dirk Nowitzki]

:clap Nice shot to cut the lead down to 7 !! Now stop fucking around get back to business. We have to show why we can beat these fuckers!!! GO JAZZ GO!!!

[Nashfan]

You happen to be incapable of thinking very much.


I know what I think about you and that is you are a fucking idiot :lol

[Admidave50]

TD is dominating!

[themvp]

Did you see when Duncan said "damned" when he missed 2nd free throw, just before the offensive rebound? :)

[Clutch20]

some stress levels building up out there in Jazz land?

[easjer]

It is always too early to call a game done when you have 9:00 minutes to play and three quarters after to play.

[Nashfan]

we are getting all the calls


How true :lol

[CubanMustGo]

FG: UTA 7-26, SA 12-21.
FT: UTA 8-8, SA 6-9.
REB: tied at 14
TO: UTA 3, SA 4

[Spurs Brazil]

Another TO

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

:clap Nice shot to cut the lead down to 7 !! Now stop fucking around get back to business. We have to show why we can beat these fuckers!!! GO JAZZ GO!!!

You're just too funny.

[Spurs Brazil]

Elson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CubanMustGo]

Okur is keeping the Jazz in the game. And Elson answers!!

[peskypesky]

Elson!!!!!!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Nice Elson! great jumpshot

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Frankie!

[CubanMustGo]

Tony has been sitting for a long time

[howbouthemspurs]

aleyoooop

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Nice play by Vaughn and Elson!!

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Frankie Again

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

ELSON!!!!!!
:clap

[CubanMustGo]

Elson on the Alley Oop from Vaughn! Timeout UTAH! 35-26 6:16

[TampaDude]

Elson with the OOOOOP!!!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Can we get a Vaughn2Elson troll?

[ATXSPUR]

Holy Shit!!! Vaughn And Elson Combined For A Bad Ass Play!!!

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Woot Frankie Dunk

[Ginofan]

I was waiting for the nice SLAMMA JAMMA from Elson, but I'll take the layin :lol

[01Snake]

Wow! Butterfingers hit it!

[duncan228]

We alley-ooped! We never alley-oop!

[Warlord23]

We have our largest lead with Elson, Vaughn and Barry on the floor together? :wtf Hell must have frozen over

[Amarelooms]

Utah is just awful offensively......amazing that they scored enough to beat the Warriors

[velik_m]

elson looking good

[boutons_]

Typical Jazz road game, a horrible time scoring, shooting 28%.

[Zarko]

Holy Shit!!! Vaughn And Elson Combined For A Bad Ass Play!!!

I am waiting for the universe to implode. This can't be possible...

Go SPURS!

[conversekid]

I have no issues with someone saying they think the pistons are better - I don't believe it though. But they are the only team I respect.

[TampaDude]

We have our largest lead with Elson, Vaughn and Barry on the floor together? :wtf Hell must have frozen over

Yeah, really...WTF???

[Mavs<Spurs]

still sloppy.

lots of turnovers on our side.
Defense on our part is inconsistent.

Rebounding has been up and down.

But the big 3 are scoring. They will hit their numbers.
It's tough to beat us when that happens.

[Aud21946]

things look good.

[Admidave50]

LOL @ the alley-oop between Vaughn & Elson (our worst players)

[easjer]

I bet TP comes back in for Vaughn.

It was nice to see Vaughn not sucking. He still shouldn't shoot, imo.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

That is nothing new for Frankie. remember he played with Andre Miller :smokin

[Dirk Nowitzki]

God comon guys! Letting scrubs like Elson and Vaughn outplay you!! Get your head out of your asses and start playing Jazz Basketball!!!!!! :madrun

[duncan228]

We have our largest lead with Elson, Vaughn and Barry on the floor together? :wtf Hell must have frozen over

And pigs are flying!

[CubanMustGo]

things look good.

Way early. Looking better than the first two minutes, that much is for sure.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Can we get a Vaughn2Elson troll?

:lmao

[spursrocksocks]

I want a fat max extreme lol

[conversekid]

God comong guys! Letting scrubs like Elson and Vaughn outplay you!! Get your head out of your asses and start playing Jazz Basketball!!!!!! :madrun

The hate from the mavs is so thick - it's heart warming. :)

[violentkitten]

We have our largest lead with Elson, Vaughn and Barry on the floor together? :wtf Hell must have frozen over


...and the lead increased. :lol

[CubanMustGo]

2 for Okur. TD to the line.

[01Snake]

Nice shiner on that ref. :lol

[jaespur21]

4 Quarters!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ginofan]

Does anyone know how that ref got a black eye?

[CubanMustGo]

AK hits a tough turnaround on Fin.

[spursrocksocks]

Does anyone know how that ref got a black eye?
his wife

[Spurs Brazil]

Omg Td!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TampaDude]

TD...spin move...and the JAM!!!

[CubanMustGo]

Okur is looking for his jock after TD puts a spin move on him.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Duncan is just OWNING

[conversekid]

the jazz look way off... their double teams are coming slow... or not at all on that play.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Manu with the floater!!

[TampaDude]

Manuuu!!!

[CubanMustGo]

41-28 after Manu hits a floater! 4:30

[spursrocksocks]

gino

[Warlord23]

Woot! Manu

[CubanMustGo]

BS late call on Elson.

[Ginofan]

Can that call get any later?

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

this one is over b4 it even started :lol

[SpursFan0728]

spurs looks great!

[Mavs<Spurs]

You all still have this game cold? Trolls!


:spin :rolleyes

[conversekid]

i expect the jazz to settle down after halftime

[Spurs Brazil]

great D

[conversekid]

ginobolli!!!

[Tha Carter]

Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ginofan]

Go for THREEE

[CubanMustGo]

Manu por tres!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Manuuuu 333333s!!!! Manu on fucking fire!!

[TampaDude]

Gino on FIIIIIRE!!!

[conversekid]

we're turning the jazz into a jump shooting team.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Spurs by 16

After that 7-0 spurt, Spurs have won the rest of the game by 23

[TampaDude]

SA is shooting 63% from the field!!! HOLY SHIT!!!

[Warlord23]

TP turning it over like there's no tomorrow

[alamo50]

Bye, bye Utah.
Left wondering in the dust already.

[conversekid]

there have been more traveling calls this playoff than all of the years the nba has been around.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Boozer sucks

[conversekid]

don't count the jazz out yet... they're young... sloan will settle them down at the half...

[CubanMustGo]

Timmay short on the J.

Derron Williams to shoot two, Utah trails 44-30, 2:47.

[howbouthemspurs]

D Williams is one ugly MOFO

[GrandeDavid]

Spurs outrebounding them by 1. Nice!

[Tek_XX]

We'll see if this kind of lead can hold against the Jazz, it wouldn't against the Suns.

[Desperado]

The spurs are good.

[CubanMustGo]

Vaughn got three assists in his five minutes. :tu

[01Snake]

don't count the jazz out yet... they're young... sloan will settle them down at the half...

No kidding. After we almost blew a 20pt lead on Friday, I don't feel good til the game is over.

[TampaDude]

don't count the jazz out yet... they're young... sloan will settle them down at the half...

Yup...a quick 8-0 run, and the Jazz would be right back in it...Spurs need to go in at the half with a double-digit lead and keep the momentum.

[Tippecanoe]

:lmao at the coors light commercial

[Amarelooms]

Spurs outrebounding them by 1. Nice!

Is that surprising since they can't make a shot lol. What type of offensse do they run? Looks like no set plays :elephant

[easjer]

I'm hardly going to call a game when there is still an entire half left to play.

I do like how the Spurs are playing right now and hope they keep it up.

Unfortunately, it appears Utah has realized that Boozer could post up.
