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

[Spurs Brazil]

Jazz with 22FTA

[spursreport]

Williams has Jason Kidd skills and to not know that is to display your ignorance to the game.

Why dont you go find something to do in that industrial piece of shit city that is called Detroit. :rolleyes

[Warlord23]

Utah with 15 O-boards to the Spurs' 5; +6 FTA after these 2 by Millsap. Utah 20 to 6 on second-chance points. They're overmatched on both offense and defense, but are hanging in there with pure effort.

We need to nut up and play hard the rest of the way

[ATXSPUR]

The Spurs are inviting the jazz back into this game.......

[TampaDude]

Offensive board and 2nd chance pts are clearly killing us!

Too bad because Jazz can't hit shit

Yeah, really...if we got a few more boards, we'd probably be up 20+ right now!

[boutons_]

Spurs losing 3rd qtr 18 - 23.

Are Spurs going to ease up and let the Jazz pull off one of their numerous comebacks?

[Admidave50]

14-5 Utah

15-5 now, with 8 different players getting at least one offensive rebobunds (vs 3 for SA), that's impressive

[easjer]

Spurs need to keep this lead, answer point for point.

Our D isn't looking quite so on point this quarter, but I expect it's a mix of them pulling more boards and also hitting their shots.

[CubanMustGo]

Wow nice move from Manu.

[Tha Carter]

Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[jmard5]

Wow. Manu!

[TampaDude]

Spurs losing 3rd qtr 18 - 23.

Are Spurs going to ease up and let the Jazz pull off one of their numerous comebacks?

I hope not....MANUUUUU!!!

[GrandeDavid]

MANU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to split that zone!!!

[spursrocksocks]

f'n sweet manu

[CubanMustGo]

Nice travel by Williams not called

[howbouthemspurs]

Ginooooooobili!!

[Warlord23]

Without Duncan, the defense goes to the doghouse

[jmard5]

Manu just schooled 5 utah defenders!

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[Tha Carter]

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

[GrandeDavid]

Floater By Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Manuuuuuuu AGAIN!!!

[CubanMustGo]

Another floater by Manu.

Time to get TD back.

[spursrocksocks]

reeeepppeeeeaaaat

[howbouthemspurs]

Ginoooooooobili!

[Warlord23]

Manu has 20!

[Zarko]

manu = amazing

[TampaDude]

Gino to the hole!!!

[Tha Carter]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[conversekid]

[jmard5]

:lol @ TP

[GrandeDavid]

Tony, what a fuggin steal and layup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Tp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[howbouthemspurs]

Paaaaarkeeerr!

[spursrocksocks]

TP biatch

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Yes tp!! NICE STEAL!!!

[TampaDude]

TP with the steal and the bucket!!!

[CubanMustGo]

TP with the steal after the non-call on the drive. 78-62 1 minute left

[conversekid]

that's the hustle we need to see!

[CubanMustGo]

Gino dribbles it off his foot ... sigh

[conversekid]

that's alright manu... stay aggressive

[Zarko]

lets close this out right!

[GrandeDavid]

I love how Utah has balls and don't cry. They're so much like the Spurs. What a contrast to last series.

[CubanMustGo]

Thank goodness Okur is sucking this quarter. Spurs last shot doesn't go in.

SA weathers the expected storm pretty well, takes that 78-62 lead to the fourth. Tim should be well-rested now.

[Zarko]

melt the clock and go back up 18 baby

[Zarko]

almost

[Wreck281Shop]

Why dont you go find something to do in that industrial piece of shit city that is called Detroit. :rolleyes

I don't live there anymore. Due to my 'industial skills' I was recuited to work in Texas! Eyes rolled twice!

[Amarelooms]

Did i mention the Jazz are horrible?

[ATXSPUR]

nice way to close the quarter Spurs. Now lets fiinish.

[Tek_XX]

-2 in the third quarter, i'll take it.

[GrandeDavid]

Hey, where the hell are the trolls now? Nashfan, Amareloom? Mavs fan? How about that kid from Philly?

You sorry pvssies, get back in here and have some fun! :lol

[Zarko]

good recovery... all with Timmy on the bench. hopefully we can rest him about 3 more minutes and let him close out the last 9.

[TampaDude]

Okay, Spurs...you held the lead in the 3rd...12 minutes to go...lock it down...drive the ball...you can do it!

[GrandeDavid]

Amarelooms is still here, my bad. Props to you, big fella!

[Admidave50]

Great hustle by Tony!

+16 heading to the final quarter, still looking good!

[boutons_]

OK, good finish to 3rd qtr, +16.

Be ready for the jazz to make one strong run in the 4th.

[Amarelooms]

I love how Utah has balls and don't cry. They're so much like the Spurs. What a contrast to last series.

HAHAHA SPurs don't cry? :elephant

HAHAHAHAH....Spurs are the Kings of CRYING AND WHINNING :elephant

[dbreiden83080]

This is such a grind it out type of a game. A much needed break from the non-stop offense of the Suns.

[jmard5]

It was actually funny that after Manu's 2 spectacular drives to the basket, the camera pans into Spus bench and all we see are Spurs stoic faces while the crowd goes wild. :lol

[easjer]

Well, not bad all things considered.

They need to tighten up the D and pull down the easy boards they are currently content to let Utah have.

Keep the offense rolling and answer point for point.

[efrem1]

Good way to weather the storm with the Jazz' OB attack. Must not let up against this team.

[Nashfan]

Hey, where the hell are the trolls now? Nashfan, Amareloom? Mavs fan? How about that kid from Philly?

You sorry pvssies, get back in here and have some fun! :lol


I'm still here. Here is a hint, look at the bottom of the page and you can see our poster names. :rolleyes

[samikeyp]

HAHAHAHAH....Spurs are the Kings of CRYING AND WHINNING

Says the person who roots for teams with Mark Cuban and Mike D'Antoni.

[spursreport]

I don't live there anymore. Due to my 'industial skills' I was recuited to work in Texas! Eyes rolled twice!

Good to know your skills helped you to get out of that shithole.

[Tek_XX]

D'antoni made sloan and pop look like reserved coaches....amazing.

[CubanMustGo]

Check out this comment from a !!CBS EMPLOYEE!! on the sportsline live game blog:


Robert Horry gets another standing ovation, showing the classless San Antonio fans true colors. The man tries to injure a star opponent and sits out two big games. That's a great reason to cheer. The point guards trade trips to the line and both connect twice. 70-57

Pussy.

[Amarelooms]

Says the person who roots for teams with Mark Cuban and Mike D'Antoni.

I'm not a Suns fan genius....has Timmy Duncan or Flopnobili ever fouled someone? lol :elephant

[Admidave50]

HAHAHA SPurs don't cry? :elephant

HAHAHAHAH....Spurs are the Kings of CRYING AND WHINNING :elephant

You obviously didn't watch the last series against the Suns...

[peskypesky]

where's Bonner? seems like Pop should put him in for a few minutes...

[CubanMustGo]

Tim is in, Manu takes a rest.

[easjer]

That's professional.

[jmard5]

Transformers, baby! Can't wait to see that movie! I love 80's cartoons.

calling in bomb threats is real classy!! Loser

Oh, I know you're logged in, but you've been relatively inactive since the Spurs lead has expanded coupled with the beatdowns I handed you in the first half. :p:

[Warlord23]

Vaughn and Barry backcourt to start the 4th (gulp)

[Admidave50]

Seeing the replay I must admit, Manu is BACK!!

[CubanMustGo]

Vaughn also in.

Bowen's three rims out.

[easjer]

Damn Harpring looks like a thug.

[efrem1]

I guess we don't have any love in New York. :dramaquee

[Wreck281Shop]

Good to know your skills helped you to get out of that shithole.

No, what is sad is they have to leave the state to get the skills!

[CubanMustGo]

Tim 1-2 but Bruce gets an offensive board.

Foul on Harpring gives the ball back to SA after Bones duffs a layup.

[jmard5]

Barry with a missed alley-oop...

[GrandeDavid]

Good to know your skills helped you to get out of that shithole.

Ouch! You're crackin on my boy's (and Kid Rock's) industriality.

[CubanMustGo]

Boozer is guarding TD and picks up #4 (should be #5 as they have the earlier foul to Harpring). Bad Tim shows up at the FT line, 1-2, 80-62 SA.

[jmard5]

Nice play by Utah!

[Admidave50]

3 quick fouls that's good, then you put back manu & tony to make them attack the rim at will!

[Spurs Brazil]

Terrible shot Brent

[TampaDude]

Here comes the Jazz run...

[GrandeDavid]

Brent Liabarrility. Sucks ass.

[jmard5]

Barry is on a slump.

[GrandeDavid]

Get a rebound, damnit!

[01Snake]

Fuck

[duncan228]

Horry=Mr. Intangible.

[Tek_XX]

I don't like the lineup

[resistanze]

Horrible lineup.

[jn77]

Bring on the Red Rocket

[ATXSPUR]

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[CubanMustGo]

Get Barrly out of there. And Bowen, remember to shoot threes or nothing.

Timeout Spurs 80-68.

[Warlord23]

Pop is bringing this upon himself ... you can't have Barry/Vaughn/Bowen/Horry on the floor at the same time

[duncan228]

Stay calm. They'll pull through it.

[easjer]

Dude. Multiple chances are killing them.

Just gave up 6 unanswered points.

They need to get back to the basics again and make an inside shot.

[Wreck281Shop]

Ouch! You're crackin on my boy's (and Kid Rock's) industriality.

Yo, I have been in Texas long enough to know I pay cats like him to trim and cut my yard!

[dbreiden83080]

Taking too many bad shots right now this is closer than it should be.

[Admidave50]

Put back Manu & Tony NOW

[Quiet Strength]

vaughn and bowen should not be trying to create shots for themselves

[jmard5]

Pop is bringing this upon himself ... you can't have Barry/Vaughn/Bowen/Horry on the floor at the same time

:lol What's the average age of these guys?

[ATXSPUR]

get parker back in and DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tek_XX]

Bowen is 0-20 on that baseline jumper.

[MannyIsGod]

Taking too many bad shots right now this is closer than it should be.You think they should beat the Utah Jazz by 20?

The Jazz aren't going down without a fight

[easjer]

Also, I really hate when BBowen passes up the 3 pointer for hopping inside and throwing up a bad jump shot.

[CubanMustGo]

Just because Utah is ten men deep doesn't mean we are. Put the starters back in, Pop.

[Trifecta]

Agree -- need someone who can create off of the dribble for others!

Also -- Barry needs to sit!

[TampaDude]

C'mon Spurs...DO NOT let the Jazz get inside 10! LOCK IT DOWN NOW!!!

[efrem1]

2 quarters in a row where we start off cold. Finish this game!!!

[Warlord23]

Much better lineup

[easjer]

Spurs need to score here and end the drought.

[CubanMustGo]

Duncan with only 11 shots!

[easjer]

That'll do.

[jmard5]

Wow. Is that the way players like TD breaks down/watches the game of the first half?

[jn77]

OBerto playing great game

[Admidave50]

Should we get back with some zone defense?

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto From Manuuuuu

[CubanMustGo]

FIVE on boozer. Good D by bowen to draw the charge.

[jn77]

five on Boozer

[easjer]

Nice draw, Bruce.

[TampaDude]

#5 on Boozer...YES!!!

[Tek_XX]

Good to be a spurs fan


OMG Were only up by 12

[GrandeDavid]

Yo, I have been in Texas long enough to know I pay cats like him to trim and cut my yard!

:lmao

[CubanMustGo]

C'mon Spurs, hit your dang free throws. 83-68 7:14 after TP 1-2

[duncan228]

Wow. Is that the way players like TD breaks down/watches the game of the first half?

That was before the game.

[Tha Carter]

bruce!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CubanMustGo]

Threee Ball Bowen!!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Bo Bo Bo WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!

[spursrocksocks]

bowened

[conversekid]

[jn77]

[Warlord23]

[jmard5]

[TampaDude]

Bowen with the huge 3!!!

[jn77]

Fab!

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto from TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tha Carter]

[CubanMustGo]

Oberto From Td - Sweet!!

[conversekid]

great execution

[GrandeDavid]

Fab Oberto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[jmard5]

great baseline cuts by Oberto. he moves wel without the ball!

[Trifecta]

I love to see that movement to the open spot -- Oberto!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!!

[duncan228]

Our 2 headed center is (are?) doing OK today.

[CubanMustGo]

Nice recovery and ball movement from Utah on that series - then Parker knocks one down.

90-74 5:24

[GrandeDavid]

Parker! Thanks, Chip Engelland!

[TampaDude]

Tony!!!

[jmard5]

parker with his jump shot again!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Tp YESSS

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Shit! please be alright!!

[01Snake]

Nice call ref

[CubanMustGo]

Parker gets mugged by Williams hand to the face - no call. BS.

90-76 with Jazz to get ball after the TV timeout, 5 minutes remaining.

[efrem1]

The proverbial trading baskets routine.

[Spurs Brazil]

that was a foul

[TampaDude]

WTF??? Horseshit non-call on that play!

[duncan228]

That's got to hurt.

[jmard5]

Good to see Deron checking out Parker. No call. But it was a class-act by Deron. He knew it was a foul.

[jn77]

I love this commercial!! I threw a rock...Classic

[manuchick]

Hi all you crazy spurs fans,
I am new to the board I love the spurs and I have been looking at this fourm for a while. I am soo happy with the way the spurs are playing this afternoon. Go Spurs Go !!!!!!!!!! :clap :clap

[TampaDude]

Parker gets mugged by Williams hand to the face - no call. BS.

Well, remember what happened when the Suns did that to Manu??? :lol

[easjer]

Damn.

Defense is letting too much go, not rotating quite quickly enough. They are getting a pass because they've been scoring to make up for it.

[GrandeDavid]

Williams showed class and sportsmanship trying to help Tony up.

[Clutch20]

why the eyes?
swipe the ball damit!

[ATXSPUR]

gah.....utah is getting too many easy looks inside. we look like we are scared to foul.

[romain.star]

Hi all you crazy spurs fans,
I am new to the board I love the spurs and I have been looking at this fourm for a while. I am soo happy with the way the spurs are playing this afternoon. Go Spurs Go !!!!!!!!!! :clap :clap


welcome dude, enjoy :smokin

[Clutch20]

ok, my one rant.......

[TampaDude]

All the Spurs gotta do is not turn the ball over a lot, and they win...just keep getting those buckets!

[easjer]

Williams showed class and sportsmanship trying to help Tony up.


I like it when other players do that. It's classy.

That also happened at the beginning of the last series too, if you'll remember. THEN it went to hell.

[Trifecta]

Manuchick - welcome to the board!

Be careful -- this board is contagious!

[spursreport]

:lmao

That was an indirect racial insult in case you missed it. Hope you arent hispanic because that is who he was referring to.

[CubanMustGo]

14 points by Oberto, amazing

[Sweetey]

Williams showed class and sportsmanship trying to help Tony up.
STOP jinxing the Spurs dammit !!! :lol :lol

[jmard5]

I like it when other players do that. It's classy.

That also happened at the beginning of the last series too, if you'll remember. THEN it went to hell.

:lol Nice point. But I think there is no one in the Suns bench with amare's IQ to stir things up.

[easjer]

They have GOT to SCORE now.

[Tha Carter]

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

[jmard5]

TD DUNKan!

[Wreck281Shop]

:lmao

As a Chem major for UM and a Masters from UH I had a many choices of places to live. You can best belive while I luv doing my wife in SA, you don't pay enough for me to move there!

[Spurs Brazil]

deron is very good

[efrem1]

Stop them please!!! they scored on the last seven possessions!!! :bang

[easjer]

Damn it. Someone needs to corral D. Williams.

Shit.

[CubanMustGo]

Jazz w/i 9.

[jmard5]

9pt lead for the Spurs.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD from Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Trifecta]

Oberto -- quit being a personal escort and get in front of him!!!!!

[GrandeDavid]

That was an indirect racial insult in case you missed it. Hope you arent hispanic because that is who he was referring to.

Sorry, bro. I'm just getting a kick out of you guys talking smack back and forth.

[TampaDude]

Yup...I figured the Jazz would get it down inside 10 before the end...Spurs gotta score here...YES!!!

[davemaniscool]

put parker on deron...he can guard him

[Tek_XX]

What is oberto trying to do there, he doesn't go for the block, he doesn't go for the charge, he just comes to foul?

[duncan228]

Duncan will get this.

[CubanMustGo]

So here we go with the fouls every time down the court again. Two ways, ref, two ways.

[manuchick]

yes I know,this is turning out to be a close game. wow what a shoot by my man !! :toast :drunk

[naico]

williams is gonna be a huge clutch performer in the future..mark my words!

[ATXSPUR]

piss poor defense by the Spurs this quarter.

[TampaDude]

That was a make-up call for the non-call on the guy who poked TP in the eye.

[Wreck281Shop]

That was an indirect racial insult in case you missed it. Hope you arent hispanic because that is who he was referring to.

Believe it or not in Houston white, black and yellow cut yards. Don't be so sensitive about your state of life.

[resistanze]

Pretty weak call considering how the game has went.

[01Snake]

Why do we always have to do this shit every game?

[easjer]

As a Chem major for UM and a Masters from UH I had a many choices of places to live. You can best belive while I luv doing my wife in SA, you don't pay enough for me to move there!


My husband and I went to/work at UH. Cheers.

[CubanMustGo]

OK, Tim, we need these.

[Nashfan]

Same old bullshit calls for the Spurs :rolleyes

[Amarelooms]

lol at the refs

[CubanMustGo]

Pretty weak call considering how the game has went.

Agreed - makeup.

[01Snake]

Same old bullshit calls for the Spurs :rolleyes

Catch any fish yet?

[Tek_XX]

Desperate team vs. team trying to run down the clock. The Desperate team usually win that battle.

[CubanMustGo]

Same old bullshit calls for the Spurs :rolleyes

Same old bullshit from the whining champs of the NBA - Sun fan. At least you can win a championship in something.

[easjer]

Hey, they've blown several shots on their way from an 18 point lead to a 9 point lead.

The D needs to step up, and they have to score. D should clamp it down for the last 3 minutes here.

[Admidave50]

Deron is now scoring at will ala Steve Nash

[jn77]

Same old bullshit calls for the Spurs :rolleyes


Why are you still here?

[spursreport]

Believe it or not in Houston white, black and yellow cut yards. Don't be so sensitive about your state of life.

Was that an insult or just a general statement. Forgive me for asking but im a tad confused with that.

[Tek_XX]

Same old bullshit calls for the Spurs :rolleyes

Are you saying it wasn't a foul?

[GrandeDavid]

Same old bullshit calls for the Spurs :rolleyes

Oh, how quaint. The little tweaker is back. :lol

[Johnny RIngo]

Offensive boards are killing us. We should have closed this game out.

[jmard5]

Wow. Deron with a dunk!

[CubanMustGo]

Second TD FT rattles out - shit.

Another williams dunk - 8 pt game.

[resistanze]

WTF Duncan...

[efrem1]

finally a miss

[atxrocker]

jazz making a late run

[easjer]

Shit Gotta make these shots now

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Parkerrrrrrr

[efrem1]

tP!!!!

[jmard5]

TP with another 18 footer!

[Tha Carter]

tp's jumper is money

[CubanMustGo]

Big J from TP pushes it back to 10 - 1:45

[TampaDude]

Desperate team vs. team trying to run down the clock. The Desperate team usually win that battle.

Yup...like I said earlier...it's hard to play with a lead...damn, shots not falling now for the Spurs...c'mon, guys...close this one out!!!

[Quiet Strength]

Why hasn't bowen been on williams??

[jmard5]

I never realized Oberto was posterized on that Deron dunk.

[efrem1]

I think... I THINK... it's over.

[TampaDude]

Gino to the line...1 of 2...

[CubanMustGo]

Williams is absolutely abusing TP.

[romain.star]

tp kills the game !!

[TampaDude]

I think... I THINK... it's over.

Not yet...Spurs need two more buckets...

[Amarelooms]

Utah at least made it respectable

[CubanMustGo]

The zone worked so well in the first half ... what happened to it?

[efrem1]

make you throws!!! :bang

[jmard5]

Missed FTs again.

[manuchick]

good job by manu with the ft. he is having a great game :king

[duncan228]

Oberto!

[efrem1]

Fabio!!!!

[Kobulingam]

Spurs ran out of some gas in second half. Good think they had a big lead.

When is the next game? Hopefully 2 days off.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs are tired

[CubanMustGo]

Spurs have missed 12 FTs. :madrun

[efrem1]

good job by manu with the ft. he is having a great game :king


Man, my TV is behind by 30 seconds. I just saw Manu make the ft. :spin

[TampaDude]

Gino to the line...1 of 2...could be critical...

[Quiet Strength]

Damn enough misses at the free throw line

[duncan228]

Spurs ran out of some gas in second half. Good think they had a big lead.

When is the next game? Hopefully 2 days off.

Tuesday.
