Round 3, Game 2: Spurs vs Jazz Official Game Blog Thread

[timvp]

Get this game. No excuses.

Believe.

1.

[SequSpur]

Spank.

[ducks]

bend over!

[JustSpurs]

Beer, Wings and Spurs...What a great Tuesday night!

[Clutch20]

Break the speed limit, then mail it in last period by playing killer defense.

[Deb]

Go Spurs Go :flag: :hungry: :flag: :hungry: :flag:

[Hook Dem]

There's no reason just because of past senarios that the Spurs can't win this game! They rested with a day off monday and they will be ready. Utah will make adjustments but so will the Spurs. Spurs win!!!!!!!!

[NASpurs]

LOL @ Stephen A. Smith's microphone not working. Too bad it can't be like that all the time.

[Borosai]

No mercy. I have a bunch of fucking bugs in my room right now. I don't need a loss to top of my night.

[JAZZinSIX]

I hope it's a great game, but I'd rather beat you by 40.

Jazz in 6

[td4mvp21]

:flag: :flag:

[romsho]

Bennett Salvatore and Jack Nies. Why not just throw Javie in there and get them all out of the way now. Nies= Tim with 4+ fouls.

[duncan228]

I believe in Tim Duncan.

[td4mvp21]

Bennett Salvatore and Jack Nies. Why not just throw Javie in there and get them all out of the way now. Nies= Tim with 4+ fouls.

Nies is a piece of shit. In Game 4, he called Duncan for everything and didn't call anything for him. Duncan went to the line 4 times that game and the other refs were the ones who sent him there.

[SA210]

Salvitore :pctoss

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I'm going to wear my lucky shorts, my duncan jersey, lucky spurs shirt and lucky spurs cap, then smoke a lucky joint :smokin

[Deb]

Been listening to radio and TV, and all these crapbags are predicting a Jazz win, including the dirtbags Walt and Bex.

GO SPURS GO

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

How long till game time, a few minutes?

[BreezeHillBill]

I hope it's a great game, but I'd rather beat you by 40.

Jazz in 6
You are very weird. A great game means what, exactly? Game 3, Spurs up by 2.

[dbreiden83080]

[GrandeDavid]

Nice 3 by Fin. Bowen on Williams. I like.

[Spurs Brazil]

Td From Oberto!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Td Blocks

[easjer]

I disagree that Duncan should shoot jump shots. Maybe it's just me.

[RashoFan]

Loved that opening 3 pointer by FINLEY!!!

:flag: 2-0, SPURS!

[Spurologist]

Great start by the spurs.

[easjer]

Good lord the ball movement is fucking amazing!

Boring my fat white ass!

[Spurs Brazil]

PFon Boozer

[easjer]

The rebounding is looking better too.

At least so far.

[noles1983]

go spurs go!! :flag: :flag:

[RashoFan]

Oberto is starting off the FT% shooting at 100%....keep it up SPURS!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[Hank the Tank]

that was a great pass.

[easjer]

Sheeyit. That's the shot I want Dunacn to take now.

[Spurs Brazil]

Deeeeeeeeeeeeefense!!!!!!!!!

[Hank the Tank]

fuck charles barkley's opinion. pistons spurs rematch. it is just destiny.

[RashoFan]

TD with the FTs....both are good!!! 4/4 on FT for the Spurs so far...

[Darkwaters]

Nice D by Oberto

[Spurs Brazil]

BS call on TD

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuu in

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oberto looks great, as does Tim.

Their interior is soft as shite, and their transition D not the greatest... we are playing a fast pace. Interesting.

[RashoFan]

fuck charles barkley's opinion. pistons spurs rematch. it is just destiny.
:worthy: :smokin

[Spurs Brazil]

The defense sucks so far

[Hank the Tank]

both teams playing really well!

[easjer]

Good timeout. Those last two Jazz possessions were not good D by the Spurs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

MANU time!

Will the real Manu
please stand up
please stand up
please stand up!

:D

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Deron Williams has still got everything he has tried to get in this game, Bowen not keeping him from entering the lane, this is going to create mad problems soon....if we can shut their point guard down their offense will crumble.

[Spurologist]

Damn.

TP didn't take note that Bowen was out and he needed to guard D Will. Easy Deuce for Boozer inside. Timeout Pop.

[TampaDude]

fuck charles barkley's opinion. pistons spurs rematch. it is just destiny.

:toast

[Quiet Strength]

Parker shouldn't be guarding williams

[dbreiden83080]

Okur with one of the luckiest shots i have ever seen in my life on that 3.

[GrandeDavid]

The Spurs D is very soft so far. Vc. falou certissimo, SpursBrazil.

[ATXSPUR]

Too may easy baskets for utah. We need to start beating the fuck out of that punk williams.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

YES!!! WAY TO KEEP ANSWERING UTAH! Spurs are in deep shit.

[Amarelooms]

Okur with one of the luckiest shots i have ever seen in my life on that 3.

Obviously you didn't watch the Warriors play the Mavs :elephant

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yeah, our D is crap right now - the AK layup off the inbounds was unforgivable... that's what we do to other teams, not let them do to us!!!

[GrandeDavid]

YES!!! WAY TO KEEP ANSWERING UTAH! Spurs are in deep shit.

^ Herr Bandwagontwat.

[milkyway21]

whoa 4 minutes into the game Duncan has 2 blocks already?

[Spurs Brazil]

Grande, esse puto de Zé Boquinha tá me irritando com essa história do Bruce ser sujo

[slayermin]

Deron Williams starting where he left off in game one.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Okur with one of the luckiest shots i have ever seen in my life on that 3.

If you've seen this guy, the difficult 3 is his most reliable shot! :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Another BS call

[Spurologist]

All fucking ball BLOCK by HORRY

ball don't lie

[Hank the Tank]

the block was clean.

[TampaDude]

BS foul on Horry...that was all ball!

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[GrandeDavid]

Grande, esse puto de Zé Boquinha tá me irritando com essa história do Bruce ser sujo

Estou escutando os americanos. Prefiro muito mais Jeff Van Gundy do que Ze Boquinho, quem sabe poucissimo sobre basquete.

[easjer]

BS to call it on Horry, but since both Tony and Timmy fouled Williams, meh.

[Hank the Tank]

damn i think deron williams will be a way better player than chris paul.

[Spurologist]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

33333333333333333333333333333333

[easjer]

I'd kind of like Fin to stop shooting. I'm guessing Barry will be out soon though and Fin can rest.

Manu!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu Tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spursrocksocks]

3333333333333333333333

[TampaDude]

Manuuuuuuuuuuu!!!

[RashoFan]

Okay...who put the OJO on Finley??? I may have to go get an egg...
Manu For 333333333333333333333

[L.I.T]

Finley's taking advantage of his greenlight tonight.

[TampaDude]

Gino is fired up!!!

[easjer]

Great series of plays, but damn it, you got to finish that shit to make it worth anything, Manu/Tony.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Notice how Jazz get back on Defense just as quickly as the spurs do

[Spurologist]

Did the NBA eliminate the trip foul

[RashoFan]

Damn already the 2 min mark...fast paced game tonight.

[Darkwaters]

Was that a foul on Gino or Fisher?

[Jimcs50]

was that foul on Manu or Fish?

[TampaDude]

This is shaping up to be a barnburner...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu has found his stroke again, and what a beautiful sight it is!

But we look very lazy on D :(

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Spurs need to eliminate Deron's penetration dammit

[Spurs Brazil]

Fisher

[ATXSPUR]

Poor defense by the Spurs this quarter.

[easjer]

Yeah, they are calling this very loosely.

I can't work out whether that's good or not.

Since I don't trust this set of refs, I'll say not.

[dbreiden83080]

Offense is great they can't stop us with the big 3 cooking but the D is awful we need to start altering more shots and getting more physical.

[spursreport]

:rolleyes :rolleyes What a shocker AK47 gets beat and blocks from behind again. I really hate that punk ass piece of shit. He is an overrated cowardly defender!

[darkzero1]

I don't like the pace of this game.

[Spurologist]

Was that a foul on Gino or Fisher?

F
I
S
H

I believe that was a block

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Notice how Jazz get back on Defense just as quickly as the spurs do

They weren't in the first 3 mins, but they are now.

[Darkwaters]

Fisher

Thanks. I looked down for a sec and missed the play.

[TampaDude]

Manu has found his stroke again, and what a beautiful sight it is!

But we look very lazy on D :(

Yeah...the Spurs are looking pretty slack on defense...they gotta tighten it up...the Jazz is getting far too many open looks.

[easjer]

Yap, D needs to get it together. There are times they've looked good, but it's not consistent at all.

Must stop Williams.

[slayermin]

Deron Williams is playing great. The Jazz came to play.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The pace is loose and friendly, not what we really want.

And the D is awful... looks like they don't care.

Williams is awesome, top 5 PG in the league methinks, or bloody close to it...

[Spurs Brazil]

TP and TD on the bench now

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu Dunk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spursrocksocks]

manu

[Spurologist]

TP is shooting well but so far in the series he has had a turnover for every assist (1:1). He needs to make smarter decisions out there.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manuuuuuuu!!!

[milkyway21]

Tlong must be in heaven right now for the TrailBlazer's winning the #1 pick in the draft.
:D

[easjer]

I don't like many of the shots (jumpshots) the Spurs are taking. 2 bad threes in a row. Not good!

[SuperManu!!!]

Pass the ball manu! Don't pull a parker

[Darkwaters]

That dunk was awesome.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Refs letting both teams play.

Ironic that this is far less physical than the Suns series!?

[Jimcs50]

Manu needs to settle down

[Spurologist]

Damn. Millsap is a pest on the boards. His toughness inside reminds me of Oakley.

[TampaDude]

Manu could have done that final 1Q possession juuuuust a wee bit better...

[CubanMustGo]

Frickin' hold on to the ball, guys

[Darkwaters]

We need to tighten up the D and slow down the game. Force Utah to play our tempo.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bad desense so far

[TampaDude]

Manu needs to settle down

Exactly...he needs to settle the fuck down and stop forcing shit...it's gonna hurt us.

[milkyway21]

former teammates:
Derek Fisher missed 3-pt. Running Jump Shot, Blocked by Robert Horry (1 BLK) :lol

[easjer]

Boys got some work to do now.

Shooting was ok for the most part, but they are doing better inside than outside, like to see them stick with it.

They've looked a lot better (more concious) of rebounding this game, keep that up.

Otherwise, the D looks lazy and uninterested. They need to step that up and clamp it down, cause they are going to need to build a much larger lead than what they've got to make it worthwhile.

Stop the lazy turnovers too. Watch your passes, y'all.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Strange Q from Manu - looked great at times, then threw the ball away twice!? Ah, well, that's Manu I guess...

[Darkwaters]

Manu could have done that final 1Q possession juuuuust a wee bit better...

Manu has been hot...but his decision making could be better. If Pop can grab him here and get his head on his shoulders then we'll be cookin'.

[CubanMustGo]

Jazz had six more shots than SA in the quarter despite Spurs' 12-10 rebound advantage

[Budkin]

Man needs to drive that ball more... only take the wide open threes.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Strange Q from Manu - looked great at times, then threw the ball away twice!? Ah, well, that's Manu I guess...
Both Tony and Manu handled theball schizophrenically. I think it has more to do with the aggressive D of the jazz that wasn't present in game 1. they'll adjust.

[dbreiden83080]

Manu is too wild right now, the D is lousy the offense overall is very good, boards are not bad but the pace is not good, needs to slow down a bit.

[easjer]

I'd like them to slow it down simply because I want them ready to play the fourth, not be tired out.

Jazz can play in a slow setting. Let's try it and see what happens.

[boutons_]

Spurs shooting 53% vs 40%, up only 2.

Spurs RB 13 vs 10.

[CubanMustGo]

TD with two of the Spurs FOUR assists, need to do a better job distributing the ball!

[Spurologist]

We need to tighten up the D and slow down the game. Force Utah to play our tempo.

Exactly. All this run and gun has been costly especially Tp to manu pass for an 18 foot floater. It's always good to run but run for layups or open shots. Manu's choas is definately not controlled right now. Pass the rock when FISH is breathing down your neck.

TD should also get more touches in the paint

[Spurs Brazil]

Another TO

[Budkin]

Manu is a TO machine tonight.

[easjer]

And we open with another TO.

Fuck guys

[Budkin]

Woot foul.

[aaronstampler]

Not the most offensive lineup for us out there...

[easjer]

Dude. NO MORE JUMPSHOTS

[Budkin]

Offense looking like shit WTF

[Darkwaters]

Two quick ones on Milsap.

[Spurs Brazil]

We need TD back

[easjer]

I like that HOrry is trying to entertain the refs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu Tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TampaDude]

Gino!!!!!

[spursrocksocks]

manu 3

[RashoFan]

Gino For 333333333333333333333

[CubanMustGo]

Tres por Manu!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Far too many TOs!

Gotta love Millsap, wish we could grab him...

[Spurologist]

Sloan needs to take a TIMEOUT so Giricek can get his ANKLES TAPED

Beautiful step back move by Manu leaving Giricek's ankles broken.

Manu nails the 333333333333333333333333333

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CubanMustGo]

Tres por Milsap, too - PFs that is :tu

[Darkwaters]

Good...Millsap is really scrappy and always seems to give them energy. I like him on the pine better than the hardwood.

[Admidave50]

GOtta love when Manu plays with such confidence!!

[Cherry]

Oberto! :clap

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu's 3 is definitely back!

Gotta love JVG's commentary - doesn't pull any punches or use any euphemisms, TELLS IT STRAIGHT!

[Admidave50]

Nice assist by Vaughn!

[CubanMustGo]

Van Gundy won't be doing commentary very long ...

[Darkwaters]

Jazz are missing plenty of free throws tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

Rebs looks a lot better tonight

[easjer]

I heart JVG.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Is it just me or is the Jazz's D horrible?

[01Snake]

Bs

[Darkwaters]

Jazz FT% = 50%

[easjer]

Well, hell. If that would have counted it would +8.

Hope the D can get a stop down there. I prefer to keep going up.

[TampaDude]

Damn...shot clock ran out...could have made it up 8.

[Quiet Strength]

Vaughn played pretty good defense on williams

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Okay, shouldn't have said G-man's 3 is back... :oops :lol

[dbreiden83080]

They have nobody to guard Manu he needs to mix in his 3's and driving if he does that he will have a monster night. He keeps up this 3pt happy stuff and it could be a long night.

[easjer]

Some of the time Jazz look great, other times, it's really easy for the Spurs (maybe becuase of controlled speed?).

Whatever - I like it if it helps us!

[Capt Bringdown]

Damn, we'd have a bigger lead if we weren't settling for 3s.

[Admidave50]

Oberto & Manu providing the fire punch from the bench!

[GrandeDavid]

Oz, what's up!

[slayermin]

All this w/o TP and TD.

[GrandeDavid]

I love how Tim is getting plenty of rest and the Spurs have slightly expanded the lead.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wanna see Manu drive some more...

Time for Tim and Tony to come back.

[easjer]

Yeah, I wish they'd drive more.

BTW - fuck TimeWarner. Here, they are dropping us and we are being switched to Comcast. Don't fucking want Comcast.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

:sleep :sleep Jazz keep getting fucking stupid. Sloan will wake his boys up and they will take control in no time.

[Spurologist]

I love how Tim is getting plenty of rest and the Spurs have slightly expanded the lead.

Interesting enough is the fact that the spurs' major runs have happened with TD on the bench

[Budkin]

Love that TP jumper

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony!!

Jazz zone now

[Budkin]

Haha go Okur...

[CubanMustGo]

Yeah, I wish they'd drive more.

BTW - fuck TimeWarner. Here, they are dropping us and we are being switched to Comcast. Don't fucking want Comcast.

Comcast dropped us in D/FW and we got TW. No difference, just as expensive and same shitty service.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I love how Tim is getting plenty of rest and the Spurs have slightly expanded the lead.

And TP... was thinking the same thing.

Once again, I think our bench is better than theirs, although theirs is better than Nugs, and maybe even Suns overall...

Our bench has been outstanding for most of the playoffs, really gritty.

[spursrocksocks]

okur sucks monkey balls

[Budkin]

:sleep :sleep Jazz keep getting fucking stupid. Sloan will wake his boys up and they will take control in no time.

Come on Dirk... enough is enough now.

[easjer]

Damn it. Want them to score.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fin missing open shots tonight

[Spurologist]

C'mon FIN. You've been spoon feed twice. Gotta make open 33333333333

[Budkin]

Woot!

[Spurs Brazil]

Cisco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[easjer]

I'm still not loving the D. It seems more like Jazz are missing than Spurs are causing it.

Finally, a basket!

[davemaniscool]

elson's a gazelle...now if he only had a brain

[Budkin]

Shit 2 on Tim

[CubanMustGo]

2 on TD :td

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Parker's got the inside-outside going tonight.

Okur's post game looked good against GS! :lol

[spursrocksocks]

barry 33333333333

[Spurs Brazil]

Barry 3333333333333333333333333333333333333333

[RashoFan]

OMG Barry For 333333333333333333333

[Darkwaters]

Thats what I want to see. If Brent Barry gets some confidence...whoa!

[CubanMustGo]

Spurs with the second quarter surge ...

[Spurs Brazil]

TP tear drop

[davemaniscool]

damn ...keep it up

[Capt Bringdown]

It'd be great if we could blow these 'uckers off the court again...for a full 4 quarters.

[Budkin]

Way to keep it up guys!!!

[easjer]

Excellent. THIS is what we need from them. Jazz missing, and Spurs taking advantage.

Keep doing it.

Build, build, build the lead.

[Spurologist]

TP is playing at an all world level right now.

Defense on D Will have been excellent

[NBA Junkie]

Parker still a perfect 6-6.

[Budkin]

I'm glad the guys decided to come play tonight!

[CubanMustGo]

Spurs shootin' 53%, Jazz 37%, Rebounds 19-14 SA ... keep it up guys

[Kobulingam]

Elson has filled up too much of his brain with languages, not enough space left to learn bball.

[dbreiden83080]

D has really picked up and we are controlling the boards big time.

[Spurologist]

TP is to TEAR DROP as TD is to BANKER

[easjer]

Best thing about that TP teardrop? Timmy was right there to tip in if necessary and someone else was ready to rebound as well. Def. want more of that!

[noles1983]

man all this talk about how boring our team is(which i disagree) but its the crowd thats boring..unreal to pay money to sit on your hands.

[Amarelooms]

Utah is horrible

[ATXSPUR]

Nice quarter so far. Now close out Spurs.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Tim is looking like he is going to pick up his third.
He needs to sit to avoid problems in the second half.

Otherwise, I am thrilled with how they are playing.

Lot of basketball left to be played and Tim needs to avoid picking up his third foul, but otherwise things look okay.

So far.

:fro

[Budkin]

Elson has filled up too much of his brain with languages, not enough space left to learn bball.

:lmao

[RashoFan]

Thats what I want to see. If Brent Barry gets some confidence...whoa!
On sunday's game, everytime Brent had a chance to shoot a 3 he would pass it to someone else. I kept yelling for him to shoot the DAMN 3 pointer....

[Spurs Brazil]

TP playing good

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Parker is 100 percent so far I think :clap

[Kobulingam]

Who is raping DWill? Is it Bruce? Did Bruce bring the handcuffs?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Stupid foul by Tim.

Looks like we;ll let Boozer get whatever he wants and shut down the rest.

As I said, Fin's off, so BARRY is on! :D :smokin

[easjer]

D has improved on Williams, hasn't it. I've not been paying close attention - what is the reason?

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Not worried. Utah just needs to wake the fuck up and play their game!

[boutons_]

Spurs RB 22 -14

fg% 52 vs38

just keep doing it all 48 minutes

[CubanMustGo]

Tim's only taken 4 shots so far ... and has 3 assists. Take it to the bank Timmay!!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Best thing about that TP teardrop? Timmy was right there to tip in if necessary and someone else was ready to rebound as well. Def. want more of that!

Great point.

That's the advantage of having a guard who can break down an opponent's defense and get into the paint. It forces help defense which allows for easy second chance points from offensive boards. Scoring on the initial drive is not essential.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bad foul Cisco

[Spurologist]

FUCK FUCK

Let FISHER take that fadeaway jumper. NOT get Boozer easy layups.

:pctoss

[Budkin]

Come on Timmy...

[Mavs<Spurs]

So, they stop having Tim play Boozer to make it safer from Tim. Good idea.

Still dangerous to have Tim in there, especially when he is reaching like that.

[easjer]

Fuck, another TO.

We need to get this lead back up over double digits.

[Amarelooms]

Not worried. Utah just needs to wake the fuck up and play their game!


Dude shut the FUCK UP. Spurs are the better team stop with your annoying ass posts. Utah sucks ass....I'm amazed they beat the Warriors :elephant

[Spurs Brazil]

Barry 33333333333333333333333333333

[RashoFan]

Barry For 333333333333333333333

[spursrocksocks]

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy

[Budkin]

When Barry doesn't hesitate he is on fire.

[TampaDude]

Barry with another 3!!!

[Budkin]

Woooooooooo
