The San Antonio Spurs have never won a playoff game in Salt Lake City

[ShoogarBear]

Job's not done.

:makemyday

[easjer]

Word.

[easjer]

We need one of the next two. That would be HUGE for us.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

This is a gay thread to say the least. Can't compare apples with oranges.

[nkdlunch]

Spurs in 7?

[RogerIsEatingASandwich]

I think Spurs will get the split. Spurs in 5.

[Tek_XX]

So Malone and Stockton will be playing??

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We aren't done until those fuckers (Utah) are golfing in a week. :makemyday

[Borosai]

Tough games coming up. I hope playing on the road will equate to more focus down the stretch.

Pink sock, baby, pink sock.

[CubanMustGo]

SA 0-2 in SLC this season, too.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Watch as we play a 90pt style of game in Utah. Grind em out.

Long road still ahead, but I feel good about this team. They've only played two inexplicably bad games this playoffs - Nugs game 1 (they always do that shit - next playoffs I'm betting on them to lose game 1! :lol ), and Suns game 4 - so they look pretty good to me.

That being said, they will need to show up in SLC with their A-grade D and a will to play tough, or they will get handed their heads.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I thnk last time Utah led in this series was during the beginning of 1st Q in game 1.

[exstatic]

Two brilliant coaching moves so far:
1) Run. This pried Utah off the offensive glass to get back. HUGE.
2) Attack Boozer on defense. He's not very fucking good, as evidenced by Fabs 28 points in 2 games.

I'm not sure either of those can be cured by home court.

[efrem1]

Send them fishing by Memorial Day. Don't let up!!!

[T Park]

If the Spurs win game 3, this things over monday.

[dbreiden83080]

Little different when Stockton and Malone were running the show.

[ca®lo]

just dont let up spurs.. go get game 3 and this series is over.

jazz is still a very dangerous team.

[duncan228]

Jazz is a dangerous team. But so are the Spurs. And they want it.
Spurs in 5.

[boutons_]

Jazz were 31-10 @SLC, same home record as Spurs.

Jazz are 6-0 @SLC in these playoffs.

Jazz will be much tougher in the next 2 games.

[T Park]

agreed, the Spurs gotta just withstand the onslaught they will get in the beginning of game 3.

If they can get a lead at halftime of game 3, the series looks good.

Utah though will come out firing saturday night, and will be a bitch.

[SpursDynasty]

Spurs pretty much won one of the games in SLC this season before Mehmet Okur started hitting some fake lucky fluke shots to steal the game.

[leemajors]

Spurs pretty much won one of the games in SLC this season before Mehmet Okur started hitting some fake lucky fluke shots to steal the game.

took you long enough.

[Kevin Blackistone]

Keep exposing Boozer and Williams on defense, keep hitting the glass like tonight, and cut down on turnovers. Get game 3 and this one's over in 5 more than likely.

[efrem1]

Spurs pretty much won one of the games in SLC this season before Mehmet Okur started hitting some fake lucky fluke shots to steal the game.

Once again, we must remember that in the first Spurs defeat, GInobili was out with a bad back.

[misterx91578]

we dont have to win in slc but i think they will at least get one

[AnkleBreaker21]

So Malone and Stockton will be playing??
exactly i dont see them out there, they were fuckin unstopable

[T-Pain]

Job's not done.

:makemyday
well we do have homecourt should it go to 7

[mikejones99]

Spurs might not lose again this year. Mormons gonna see a great team Saturday.

[WalterBenitez]

All those records are made to be broken, don't see Utah holding his house ... they'll lost 1 or two of them.

Believe me they'll star next game as wolves pursuing a rabbit, but in 3q and 4q ... Spurs will handle all those kiddos.

[GrandeDavid]

Its a tall task winning in Salt Lake City, but its not impossible. Sure, the Spurs lost both road games there this year, but I think up until last year the Spurs had won around 18 straight against Utah...including IN Utah. And before mentioning about the playoffs being an entirely different animal, remember how good the Spurs are on the road in the playoffs. They are already confident and their Big 3 playing very well, now I expect them to head to Utah with supreme focus.

[Walton Buys Off Me]

Not sure why there's such a love fest going on here for the Jazz. Fisher's a great guy, I love Boozer, Williams is the real deal etc....

Spurs fans need to recognize that this series is far from over and that historically, this team, coached by the same man has kicked salt into our eyes while pissing on our backs.

If we bring the same mindset and the 24 turnovers to Utah, we lose by 35 points. Then what will people be saying about the Jazz?

[twincam]

Totally different team, totally different era, totally overrated.

Quit living in the past, guys.

[Walton Buys Off Me]

Ask the Houston Rockets what a 2-0 lead against the Jazz got them.

ok man, i'll work on the bank shot after practice today.

[SAGambler]

Although we may never have won a playoff game in Utah, I think you must admit things are vastly different since the last time Utah even made the playoffs.

Looks to me like the Spurs just do whatever they want to this team. Spurs have owned the second quarter so far. I don't know why you think Utah being at home is going to change this.

I was skeptical of the ones that started crying "sweep", but after the last 2, I'm beginning to think it is entirely possible.

We win game 3, the Spurs sweep if they want to, unless they prefer to eliminate them at home.

The crisp ball movement, the brilliant passes, the stellar defense..........Jazz doesn't have an answer for any of it.

Only way I see Spurs losing a game is if they just come out lethargic, and like Tony keeps saying, they learned their lesson from last year.

The Spurs are a team on a mission. To garner what most probably should be their 5th championship. To show everyone last years WCF was a fluke, and that they still have what it takes, despite the cries of many fans to trade off half the team.

No doubt in my mind you are watching a basketball machine in motion.

[ATRAIN]

Ask the Houston Rockets what a 2-0 lead against the Jazz got them.


hahah are you serious??



DAMN I hate it that the game is SAT......what the hell is that.

[longrod]

Another meaningless stat. BFD.

[BUMP]

Ask the Houston Rockets what a 2-0 lead against the Jazz got them.

Spurs in the playoffs>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rockets in playoffs

especially on the road. i remember going to game 3 last year in the Mavs series and there were so many times that the Mavs couldve pulled away but SA never lost focus, and kept executing and making it close. even though they lost i believe they will win one out of the next two

[FromWayDowntown]

Spurs pretty much won one of the games in SLC this season before Mehmet Okur started hitting some fake lucky fluke shots to steal the game.

Adding Okur to the list of NBA flukes: Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony, Allen Iverson, the Dallas Mavericks, the Houston Rockets, the Phoenix Suns, Mehmet Okur.

[J.T.]

I remember a simpler time when SpursDynasty was banned, and people weren't driven to slaughter kittens by his stupid post calling everyone in the playoffs but SA flukes.

[ATXSPUR]

we dont have to win in slc but i think they will at least get one

BS we dont have to win. We need atleast one. WE CANNOT GO BACK TO SA TIED 2-2!!!!!!!!!!!

The next time we play in S.A. either needs to be a closeout game or even better in the finals!

[boutons_]

One stat is that only 2 teams in 70+ conference finals have come back from 0-2, if I heard correctly last night.

Sweep is fine, but let's at least split in SLC. We don't want to start over at 2-2, even with HCA.

[MadDog73]

Arguments for Utah Win: It's a hostile environment.

Rebuttal: More hostile than Game 5 in PHX?

Utah: We play better a home.

Rebuttal: In playoffs, Spurs play better on road.

Utah: ....



Look, I think it will be Spurs in 5. We'll lose one in Utah, because the Spurs are due for a loss after winning 4 straight playoff games.

But I don't buy the argument that Utah will win in SLC just because.

[Girasuck]

Guys...I know all of you are feeling confident (rightfully so) BUT I really believe this series will be tied up 2-2 after game 4. Why do I feel this way? Several reasons but the most important is that we're 9-0 this year when I attend Jazz games and I'll be at games 3 and 4 :)

If that stat doesn't impress you guys then no stat I can throw at you will.

There's a first time for everything. Certainly, this Spurs team never played a playoff game in Utah City.

I thnk last time Utah led in this series was during the beginning of 1st Q in game 1.
And it may be the last time this year. Everybody was worrying to death about game 2 and the Spurs just toyed with them. It would take a total collapse for the Spurs to drop down to the level of the competition this time.

[BreezeHillBill]

Ask the Houston Rockets what a 2-0 lead against the Jazz got them.
Rockets ain't Spurs, not even close. You think the first two games were a FLUKE?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

This thread is pathetic.

[timvp]

Jazz fans can win a game by themselves. It's as if these new age Spurs fans have never seen the Jazz and Spurs play in the playoffs in Utah. The Jazz fans are the best in the league by far at whining about calls and getting under the referees' skin. I don't care if Stockton and Malone are there or not. In fact, this is about the time of year Malone started choking, so it doesn't really matter.

The Jazz are damn dangerous at home. And no fan, especially a Spurs fan, should take them lightly.

Oh hell yes. Whiny Suns fans sucked. They were pretty loud but there was no method to their madness.

Jazz fans have it down to a science. Their fans alone win them a good five or six games a year. The only fan base than can even begin to touch Jazz fan is King fan, but Jazz fan are still easily are the best at what they do.

You are saying that this Spurs team will be un-nerved by fans???

Do I need to remeind you that this Spurs team actually had a better road record at one point this season than a home record? Do I need to remind you that the Spurs have lost 2 home games in these playoffs and only 1 road game???

Some people are so naive....I swear.

Ok Chicken Little, I will bet you that the Spurs win at least one game on the road in SLC.

Name the stakes, and I will take the bet.

I predict we split in SLC, and close it out in Game 5 back in SA. Spurs in 5. :toast

Spurs will lose one in SLC, but not both...

If Spurs come back 2-2, then it's time to get worried. I don't understand why people are judging the Spurs on playoff matchups from years ago...

That's like saying the Jazz have no chance to win in San Antonio because they've lost 18 straight. If that was the case, why would anyone worry about winning in Utah?

Because we all know, streaks are meant to be broken. SA will be 1-9 in SLC playoffs... book it.

It's not the Spurs I'm worried about, it's the refs. You ask refs where the hardest place to call a game is and 95% will tell you in Utah.

I agree, I have been to a game in SLC, a reg season game and I was scared for my life. Those Mormans take any call personally, they boo every call against their team and curse at the opposing players.

But, the Spurs are not worried, I assure you. They will get a split at worst.

[Jimcs50]

[Jimcs50]

I am not saying that SA has this locked up, but if any team can win at SLC, this Spurs team, who remind me of the Showtime Lakers in the 80's who loved to win on the road moreso than at home, is the team to transcend refs and foul mouthed fans and win at their house.

I truely believe we're the only crowd in the league that can actually have an impact on how the game is played. Attending a Jazz game is an amazing experience.

Let me put it this way...

We've been out of the playoffs for 3 years, we have a team in the WCF, and tickets for both game 3 and 4 sold out in less than 15 minutes. Game 5 against the Warriors was the loudest I've heard the arena since the Finals days. Just think how much better we'll be for these 2 games.

[timvp]

[nobodi_home]

This is the year the "No Win in Utah" jinx will be snapped. It doesn't seem to me, from analysis of the game tapes, box scores, etc, that Utah has a clue what to do with SAS. I think that is sad, as honest, dedicated basketball fans look forward to GOOD GAMES, meaning, lots of lead changes, lots of tied-up scores, high field goal percentages, good at the free throw line,minimun of turnovers, etc. And I mean on the part of both teams. What the hell good is a ball game where one team just runs over the other guys? That's no fun for anyone. I was looking forward to Utah showing themselves to be a respectable group, and based on the NBA average, maybe they are. But let's face it. Utah is no NBA champion. I wish Jerry Sloan could bring down at least one title before he retires, but it sure won't be this year. I'd love to see the series run the full 7 games, but it looks like this one is gonna end real soon. A few nights ago, I got out the Game 1 tape of the 1997 Finals to remind myself that at one time, Utah really had something special. What a game!!! Even tho the Jazz lost it at the buzzer, it was "a game", close, nip-n-tuck, all the way, not like the sleazy bunch we see now. SAS will demolish these cats, no matter where they play. They could move the remainder of this series to Tokyo and it wouldn't help Utah. Not now.

[Cry Havoc]

This coming from the guy who would have been satisfied with a Tim Duncan MVP and a round 1 exit against Denver after the first game of the series. :rolleyes

[slayermin]

The next two games will give us a measuring stick on how well this team is playing. Game three will be the Jazz's game seven, in a sense.

Keep it close and try to win it at the end. Should be a great game.

[Bruno]

I don't believe in all these "team X has never...".

Winning at Utah won't be easy at all : Jazz can play better than what they ahve done in the first two games and the crowd in Utah is great.
