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

[L.I.T]

Fuck.

[E20]

:pctoss

Manu and Tony have to bring it tonight.

[hater]

Bowen is a terrible post defender

[TampaDude]

3 on Duncan...gawd what a ticky tack foul...refs in the Jazz's pockets tonight...

[Amarelooms]

And then blow it.

Mavs would be up by 30 now with TD on the bench :elephant

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If we win tonight, it will be all the 2nd team.

Duncan is getting nothing tonight, just like game 2 against the Suns.

[Admidave50]

Still 6 min to play and Utah is beating us in this qtr 13-9

[01Snake]

Should be 2 on TD. That first foul was a joke.

[boutons_]

FUCK ABC

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

TD with the dumb foul.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Brain Cramp by Tim Duncan.

Can't imagine what he was thinking.

a block by Okur?
Two turnovers?
Then commits his third foul?

[CubanMustGo]

Tim pressing, frustrated by getting absolutely no calls on the offensive end. Will be better in the second half!

[01Snake]

TD with 3 and the Jazz get a standing ovation. :lol

[Warlord23]

Its up to Parker and Ginobili today ... they are letting them hack Duncan

[Quiet Strength]

Duncan should of known better

[ducks]

parkers jumping is on so maybe they can pull it
lets do it

[TampaDude]

Spurs are gonna lose this game...but they'll win the next two and the series.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

3 on Duncan...gawd what a ticky tack foul...refs in the Jazz's pockets tonight...

Nothing ticky tack about that one.

[E20]

The Spurs guards need to get rolling.

Manu and Tony seem to be having a good early game. Bruce, Finley, and Brent have to step it up. Duncan's going to be on the bench a whole lot, my guy says so.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Mavs would be up by 30 now with TD on the bench :elephant

[Admidave50]

Spurs must stay aggressive and force the 3rd foul on Okur or Deron!

Done for Okur :)

[Amarelooms]

Utah is such a dumb team. Don't leave open CORNER 3's.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It sucks at the defensive end that TD got his third, but now maybe we'll run something other than 4down on offense.

[Amarelooms]

http://www.raisport.rai.it/RaiSport/pub/static/86400/20051111NBAGoldenStateWarriorsBaronDavis.jpg

Hahah the SPurs better be glad...only reason they are going to the Finals :elephant

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TD with the dumb foul.

You can't say that. If he doesn't try to block that shot, he may as well not be there. He gets it clean over half the time.

[TampaDude]

Nothing ticky tack about that one.

Are you fucking kidding me???

[Spurs Brazil]

3rd on Okur

[spursrocksocks]

make up call

[Spurologist]

:lol

Elson got bailed out by a call.

CATCH THAT SHIT

[L.I.T]

Pace has slowed down.

[CubanMustGo]

makeup just as Elson was losing it out of bounds

[Solid D]

Bob Delaney is hip to all the grabbing on rolling off screens.

[easjer]

Oh, please, the game's been called pretty evenly.

TD fucked that up, now Okur has 3.

They won't get any benefit tonight in Utah. They should stop expecting it.

[Spurologist]

LMAO

Mark Jackson ready to crown Okur defensive player of the year

[Spurs Brazil]

Dumb Elson

[Manu Pacquiao]

Somebody check Giricek please?!

[duncan228]

I like JVG.

[CubanMustGo]

what a dive

[Admidave50]

bs call!! Hate when BOozer screams

[easjer]

Which is not to say that I agree with many of the ticky-tack things they are calling, but it's hardly one sided (more than any home team gets).

[TampaDude]

Fuck that shit...he was PUSHED!!!

[L.I.T]

JVG is gonna bitch-slap Jackson before the night ends.

[Mavs<Spurs]

You can't say that. If he doesn't try to block that shot, he may as well not be there. He gets it clean over half the time.


Wrong. If he gives up those points, he can be more aggressive later. Now, he's out the rest of this half and can't be aggressive defensively in the third quarter either. If he had only had two fouls, he could have been more aggressive in the third.

Is two points worth an entire quarter of defensive aggression?

His presence alone will affect some shots. Play zone, especially against Utah and close out on Okur.

[L.I.T]

Officials aren't the issue tonight. Elson's body language made the ref call that.

[TampaDude]

Oberto AGAIN!!!

[Cherry]

Go Fabri Go! :elephant

[ShoogarBear]

Carlos Boozer is the Steve Nash of power forwards.

[duncan228]

Gonna say a lot for us if we win this one with Duncan playing minimum minutes.

[Spurs Brazil]

Another BS call

[CubanMustGo]

Could that foul be ANY later?

[01Snake]

Whats up with these late calls on SA?? BS

[TampaDude]

Gawd...no mercy from the refs tonight...NBA doesn't want a sweep.

[hater]

fucking refs suck

[Spurologist]

TP and pick and roll are a deadly combination

[Mavs<Spurs]

I have agreed with the calls on Tim Duncan.

However, I think that some of the noncalls were fouls committed by the Jazz.

That's my complaint.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oberto's picks, cuts and hands around the bucket are SO GOOD. It's a basketball purist's pleasure to watch. :)

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[duncan228]

NBA doesn't want a sweep.

Gotta sell more beer.

[L.I.T]

Get the hell outta the way Elson!

[Admidave50]

Nice TP

[slayermin]

I expect this out of Rush but Delaney too? Fuck.

[Warlord23]

The whistles are outta control now

[Admidave50]

Come on, stop fouling them! They can't hit shit

[CubanMustGo]

Jizz get foul calls on nearly every drive, SA almost never. Nice

[Spurologist]

Refs got it stuck on AUTOMATIC WHISTLE for a Jazz drive

[Admidave50]

I guess they can't hit their FTs neither! haha

[slayermin]

Come on, stop fouling them! They can't hit shit

Who's fouling who?

[Amarelooms]

Utah is horrible...you would think these white guys could at least make free throws lol

[Mavs<Spurs]

However, since the calls on Tim were legitimate, those things were completely within his control.

That's where he's got to realize that he may not get as many calls in Utah as he deserves (ie some Jazz fouling Tim may be noncalls in Utah).


Even Tim knew that he had committed a foul.

Wise teammate Michael Finley trying to rescue Tim from his foul.



We'll see what happens.


Tim needs to play more carefully and thoughtfully in the second half.

[TampaDude]

Okay...either the Jazz or the Spurs are gonna go on a big run here to close out the half...hopefully it will be the Spurs, and we'll go in at halftime with a double-digit lead.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Jizz get foul calls on nearly every drive, SA almost never. Nice

Home court.

[JAZZinSIX]

If the Jazz don't take advantage of TD's absence, we deserve to lose. Credit to your D--we can't go on a run. We also cant get our ORebounds going. I still think we beat you guys, but we're not doing what we need to do...to be continued

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wrong. If he gives up those points, he can be more aggressive later. Now, he's out the rest of this half and can't be aggressive defensively in the third quarter either. If he had only had two fouls, he could have been more aggressive in the third.

Is two points worth an entire quarter of defensive aggression?

His presence alone will affect some shots. Play zone, especially against Utah and close out on Okur.

What I meant was that he has a shotblocker's mentality, he would block that shot 6/10 times (he did it over and over and over again in the Suns series, for eg), and you can't just turn off that instinct. He stops going after shots, he may as well stop playing.

I am a shotblocker myself, I know the mentality. ;)

[Mavs<Spurs]

Okay...either the Jazz or the Spurs are gonna go on a big run here to close out the half...hopefully it will be the Spurs, and we'll go in at halftime with a double-digit lead.


Hate to say it, but in Utah if those are the only two choices and Tim is on the bench, the far more likely of those two scenarios is that the Jazz go on a large run.

[Solid D]

However, since the calls on Tim were legitimate, those things were completely within his control.

Your team is horrible. How you beat the Warriors is beyond me. Lucky for you they were not hitting half court 3's :elephant

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i love jvg's commentary!! :lol

[spursrocksocks]

hahahaah great flop

[resistanze]

LMFAO! Horry.

Not every legitimate foul is "within your control".

However, I agree that he has to adjust to the fact he will get nothing tonight.

I say we attack through the guards and make Timmy a role player tonight, have him rolling to the bucket and hitting the O boards.

[TampaDude]

Nice flop by Horry... :lol

[Cherry]

that´s a flop :lol

[CubanMustGo]

Horry with the HUGE flop

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I can't believe the Jazz are doing so poorly (for them) on the boards.


and whats up with their ft's?? i mean i know utah might not be a superb ft shooting team but if they drop this game ft's will haunt them

[ShoogarBear]

I like JVG. :lol

[Solid D]

Spurs in 3-2 zone.

[Mavs<Spurs]

I am a shotblocker myself, I know the mentality. ;)


I am not a shotblocker, I am a point guard.

I know what you are saying, but I think you can see my point too.


Tim just has not had a good first half. He's one of the best players to ever play, but he isn't showing it right now. Tim usually comes back and has a strong second half after this kind of first half. It is tough to shut down Tim Duncan for an entire game and the Jazz don't have the team to do it. Maybe the Pistons because of Sheed, but probably not the Jazz.

[Spurs Brazil]

Now Deron flop

[Admidave50]

Bullshit

[themvp]

:lol

[sanman53]

That JVG is cracking me up tonight.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What utter BS.

The block-charge call is crap in today's NBA. They've runined the damn game.

[TampaDude]

Jazz making their run now...

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Admidave50]

Bad D by Horry! 2 consecutive bad plays on both end of the floor

[L.I.T]

Really Mark jackson? You think not having Duncan on the floor means someone else needs to score?

[Spurs Brazil]

2nd on TP

[TampaDude]

Jeebus...could we have any MORE fucking gimme whistles for the Jazz??? :bang

[Solid D]

Spurs give up 5 points in 3 trips running that zone. So much for that. Now back to the man D.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

JVG is AWESOME - the one guy not afraid to tell it how it is.

Man, this is UGLYBALL. Freakin refs are ruining it. Game 1 and 2 were pretty, tonight is bluuuuurgh.

[Admidave50]

How can't they call a foul for Manu's penetration?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Parker was playing great but the last 3 minutes Deron is owning his ass.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Jazz are not playing very well so far.

They played better in San Antonio, I think.

However, I do expect that to change.

I know that the Spurs are the better team, but Utah is a good team in general and a very tough team to beat at home. I would have expected more from them under these circumstances.


Second half will be interesting.

Go Spurs!!!

[CubanMustGo]

Millsap murders Gino on the drive - NO CALL

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu got HAMMERED! No call.

Tony gets hacked, no call.

Why don't you just hand them the game??? :rolleyes

[ShoogarBear]

Great play by Horry.

[Spurologist]

HORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY



































with the strip on FISH

[spursrocksocks]

im calling a finley 3 at the buzzer

[L.I.T]

Manu!!!!!

[Spurologist]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Ginoooooooooooo!!!

[Admidave50]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It's okay, our guys know they won't get a thing tonight. They will fight through it.

[TampaDude]

Wow...despite the refs desperate attempts to stop the Spurs, they still lead by 4 at the half...should be up by 10+, though...

[Admidave50]

4pt lead! Tim must stay out of foul trouble and we get this shit!

[slayermin]

Millsap murders Gino on the drive - NO CALL


Bad calls for both teams. Utah has probably received a couple more but it may even out in the second half.

I will take the four point lead.

[JAZZinSIX]

Spurs fans complaining about fouls? Don't be pussies. The refs are calling it fine.

[Quiet Strength]

Parker is playing stupid out there

[Mavs<Spurs]

Spurs up 47-43 at the half.


Tim will still start the third?

If you are the Utah Jazz, do you try to put Tim in pick and roll situations and try to generate a fourth foul on him?

Problem for them is if they do that, they are going at a great defensive player and that could take them out of their game. Of course, if it worked, then ...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jazz "only" down by 4, when two of our starters have hardly played. and every call has gone their way! :lmao

Ha, I'll take it.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

despite duncan not playing well we're still winning on the road in a crucial game 3


I'll take it

[TampaDude]

Spurs fans complaining about fouls? Don't be pussies. The refs are calling it fine.

You will still lose.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim has to play a different role tonight.

No more 4-down, just play picnroll or motion and have him cutting to the hole and going to the O boards. TP and Manu have to carry the offense tonight, because Tim will get no calls tonight.

[ShoogarBear]

Spurs fans complaining about fouls? Don't be pussies. The refs are calling it fine.Really. I thought I had wandered into a Suns forum.

[SpursDynasty]

Spurs allowing too many bullshit fake jump shots by the Jazz. Don't let them shoot anymore.

[leemajors]

not a bad duncan-less quarter.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Spurs fans complaining about fouls? Don't be pussies. The refs are calling it fine.


Normal home court stuff mostly.


We're on the road. We don't have to win pretty or by big numbers. Any win, by any amount, is a good win in the Western Conference Finals, aka the 2007 NBA Finals.


Stay close, execute in the fourth.

Play good defense, take better care of the ball and rebound well on the defensive side.

Do that and keep Tim out of foul trouble, we'll walk out of this gym with a 3-0 lead in the series.

[ShoogarBear]

Spurs allowing too many bullshit fake jump shots by the Jazz. Don't let them shoot anymore.Can anyone translate this? ducks?

[JAZZinSIX]

The refs are staying OUT of this fucking game which is how it should be. There's always a few flops, a few questionables, but this is good, hard playoff basketball.

Blaming the refs is PUSSY

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

JAZZinSIX, you must be blind, the calls are all going your way. :lmao

However, that's fine, our guys expected that and we will fight through it. They're not pussies like the Suns, they knew what they were in for tonight before the game started.

[dbreiden83080]

I wonder what the Jazz are thinking right now. Down 2-0 in the series and Duncan hardly played the first half and they still don't have a halftime lead.

[ShoogarBear]

Spurs are in good shape. If they keep the same mentality, and Duncan stays away from stupid fouls, they have a good shot at effectively ending the series tonight.

[PB&J]

Spurs are in good shape. If they keep the same mentality, and Duncan stays away from stupid fouls, they have a good shot at effectively ending the series tonight.

Amen. A rested Timmy for the second half and a 4 point lead!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Stupid question, but do you start Tim at the half despite the three fouls?


Probably, but I have him guard Okur and make sure that he is conscious of avoiding his fourth.


Just contest Okur's 3s don't jump to try to shot block yet.

[spurastic]

One word. Rush....we knew the the calls would be rough. But we shall 0vercome.

[Mavs<Spurs]

I wonder what the Jazz are thinking right now. Down 2-0 in the series and Duncan hardly played the first half and they still don't have a halftime lead.
:lol :lol :lol :lmao :lmao :lmao

[dimsah]

I can't believe the Spurs have the lead at the half!!

[L.I.T]

I wonder what the Jazz are thinking right now. Down 2-0 in the series and Duncan hardly played the first half and they still don't have a halftime lead.

They didn't have Okur either (not equating Duncan to Okur, but Okur is a major part of their offense).

Spurs have a lot more to be hopeful about going into the 2nd half. Jazz were helped a lot by Giricek and Harpring, I'm concerned if those two continue knocking down shots and winning the scrums.

[JAZZinSIX]

RUFF--you're blind. TD's fouls were legit, the game is being called the way a playoff game should be. Don't turn into a Suns Fan on your own board

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The refs are staying OUT of this fucking game which is how it should be. There's always a few flops, a few questionables, but this is good, hard playoff basketball.

Blaming the refs is PUSSY

WTF??? No they're not! Did you drink the coolaid??? They're calling a foul virtually every trip down the floor! You really ARE blind. Games 1 and 2 they stayed out of it, tonight they've made it "UGLY AS FUCK"ball. :rolleyes

The second team has been solid as hell tonight. Props, men. :toast

[Mavs<Spurs]

Can anyone translate this? ducks?


Not me.

:wtf

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Duncan is going to bring down the hammer once he stops making bad decisions on the floor. It's rare he lets that happen two halfs in a row.

[ShoogarBear]

Stupid question, but do you start Tim at the half despite the three fouls?Absolutely. They did a good job at holding the Jazz off, but you have to have a low post presence against Utah or you don't exploit Boozer and Okur. Duncan is the key to TP's penetration and the 3-point shooters being left open. Plus, the Spurs can't count on maintaining this rebounding advantage the whole game.

[TampaDude]

RUFF--you're blind. TD's fouls were legit, the game is being called the way a playoff game should be. Don't turn into a Suns Fan on your own board

No offense, dude, but you're on crack...there's some SERIOUS home cookin' going on tonight...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

RUFF--you're blind. TD's fouls were legit, the game is being called the way a playoff game should be. Don't turn into a Suns Fan on your own board

STFU.

I'm not even complaining about it. I'm explaining it.

I didn't say Tim's fouls weren't legit, but he was also fouled a number of times for no call, as were Manu and Tony. With 2 minutes to go Millsap butchered Manu, no call, next play same happened to Tony, no call, but AS I ALREADY SAID, that's fine, we knew this game would be like this, and our boys will fight through it as they usually do.

Wanker.

[ducks]

Not me.

:wtf
not me either

[ShoogarBear]

I wonder what the Jazz are thinking right now.
"I wish there was a decent bar in town."

[ducks]

spurs are fine
duncan has played 12 minutes and is rested

[JAZZinSIX]

Ruff's a total fag. There's always one idiot on every board. The suns are still taking applications for fans you loser

[ducks]

"I wish there was a decent bar in town."
I thought it was which wife should I sleep with tonight

[ShoogarBear]

not me either:lol

The second team has been solid as hell tonight. Props, men. :toast

The only thing that is pissing me off about the refs is that they are falling for every flop.

Both teams are guilty of it, it's a staple of Jerry Sloan basketball and it's fucking lame for the commentators to single out Horry.

Both teams need to stop flopping, but seeings Jerry Sloan has mastered the art of having his guys deliver cheap shots (Collins on Duncan for example) and flopping, Spurs have to resort in kind (haven't seen any cheap shots, but definite flopping).

It's not surprising that Sloan has dipped into his bag of tricks, but it sucks we're having to watch it in the conference finals.

[duncan228]

There's always one idiot on every board.

There's more than one.

[Jelly]

Spurs fans complaining about fouls? Don't be pussies. The refs are calling it fine.

people here are complaining about too many whistles all around. It makes for a boring game when the refs don't let the players play. And this has been a boring game.

[Johnny RIngo]

Refs have made this first half brutal to watch. There were some ugly calls for both teams. Should have just let the players play. This is a freaking nationally televised game . These ticky tacky fouls are only helping the "boring" stigma that's been attached to this series.

[CubanMustGo]

Ruff's a total fag. There's always one idiot on every board. The suns are still taking applications for fans you loser

Dude, you're a guest. You want to post crap about a Spurs fan, do it on your own board.

[Amarelooms]

people here are complaining about too many whistles all around. It makes for a boring game when the refs don't let the players play. And this has been a boring game.

Hello it's Spurs/Jazz...going to be boring :elephant

[Manu Pacquiao]

They shouldnt forget Giricek and Harpring this 2nd half. We shouldnt let those guys have confidence and start making big plays. It will stretch the defense too much and will give Boozer, Williams and Okur more space.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

NBA has totally RUINED the block-charge call. The way they call it now is a travesty. You used to have to earn a charge, these days they call it more often than they call a block. :wtf

As a player, I am appalled by the way they call it these days. It encourages flopping.

Oh, and just for JIZZinSIX, I'm not saying one team or the other has benefitted from it tonight, just saying I hate the way they call it in general.

[TampaDude]

The refs are quick with the whistles tonight...Horry took advantage of that to get two easy points...but, then again, Horry is a genius! :toast

[easjer]

Please. Refs aren't the problem here. The problem is the Spurs not really playing very well. Too many to's, too many bad shots. I know they are getting hit down there, but that's not unusual either.

Bottom line is that if they play at all like they did in SA, this will be a much shorter series than I anticipated.

Hopefully they come out a lot more aggressive in the 3rd with rested players and a small lead.

[Mavs<Spurs]

If we can call this an ugly game, I feel good about winning it.

Spurs win 9 out of 10 ugly games.

:lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Agreed. See my post above. ;)

[ballhog]

Spurs need to ride out run that the Jazz are going to come with. How long before Tim gets his 4th?

You can thank all the flopping for that. I hope the NBA puts in a rule where if you flop the tape will be reviewed and each player fined $50k each time with a player getting a suspension after 3 flops :elephant

[slayermin]

Big Dave seemed to always be in foul trouble in Utah.

Hopefully, TD can stay away from the ticky tack.

[TampaDude]

Spurs need to ride out run that the Jazz are going to come with. How long before Tim gets his 4th?

Probably the very first possession of the 3rd quarter...just watch.

[JAZZinSIX]

Cuban said: "Dude, you're a guest. You want to post crap about a Spurs fan, do it on your own board."

Fuck you. The dude's being a pussy, I'm calling him out. I like this board because you can say what you want and I'm saying it. By the way, I think he can defend himself.

Calling out the refs is just plain pussy and I'm sick of hearing it from Houston and GS fans alike. Almost all the fans here don't get blinded by that shit

[CubanMustGo]

Fuck you too rookie. You're as big a homer as anyone here.

[easjer]

You can thank all the flopping for that. I hope the NBA puts in a rule where if you flop the tape will be reviewed and each player fined $50k each time with a player getting a suspension after 3 flops :elephant


Won't happen and nearly impossible to enforce. And since Dirk flops as well as anyone, that would hurt your team (unless he's traded this offseason).

[Nashfan]

Jazz "only" down by 4, when two of our starters have hardly played. and every call has gone their way! :lmao

Ha, I'll take it.


Why are you whining about the officiating?? Duncan went over the back on that one call and Horry flopped on that call against Boozer.

[fuckespn]

Tim with only 4 pts and his head up his ass, but Spurs still in the lead, and winning RB 19 - 12.

Remember, the spurs automatically boring so don't worry about the refs making it ugly as fuck

Duncan needs to explode.

Ruff's a total fag. There's always one idiot on every board. The suns are still taking applications for fans you loser

Yeah, go personal, don't actually answer what I said. :rolleyes

You actually believe this game has been called well, and that the refs have stayed out of it? :lmao

Tim and bruce hardly play, and you're still down by four... :lol

[JAZZinSIX]

Cuban,

Read my posts. I've got nothing but respect for the Spurs. You guys are awesome. But you'll never hear me crying about calls. That's Pussy Shit.

[Amarelooms]

Won't happen and nearly impossible to enforce. And since Dirk flops as well as anyone, that would hurt your team (unless he's traded this offseason).

Not it's not...you don;t enforce it DURING the game...after the game when officials watch tape. It is clear when you look at it in slow motion. Dirk does not really flop he is just not athletic and looks clumsy :elephant

[duncan228]

Duncan needs to explode.

Yes he does.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck you. The dude's being a pussy, I'm calling him out. I like this board because you can say what you want and I'm saying it. By the way, I think he can defend himself.

Calling out the refs is just plain pussy and I'm sick of hearing it from Houston and GS fans alike. Almost all the fans here don't get blinded by that shit


Tim's calls were legitimate fouls. The game is being called the way most games are. Fewer fouls committed by the home team. So, I don't see any reason to complain about the calls. In that limited sense, I agree with you.

However, Ruff seems to admit that the calls are not completely unreasonable. And he is a Spursfan and this is a Spurs fan board. So, calling him out here probably isn't going to win you a lot of points.

Just my opinion.

Boozer is a complete pussy against TD.

[Spurs Brazil]

3rd on Boozer

[TampaDude]

#3 on Boozer...good!

[JAZZinSIX]

Ruff, you're up 2 games, I give your team respect, and you still act like a bitch and complain about fouls. We suck for not taking advantage of you and your team is awesome, but don't make yourself look like a girl scout worrying about fouls.

[Spurs Brazil]

3rd on TP

[L.I.T]

3rd on Parker...not so sweet.

[TampaDude]

Jazz are plain OUTPLAYING the Spurs tonight...this one goes to Utah...but it will be their only one!

You keep missing the point. I'm calling out the refs for calling a horrible game, not making excuses for the Spurs. Get your head checked, and actually READ my posts.

This game has been horrible to watch because there's a whistle every 10 seconds.

Anyway, did I tell you you couldn't say what you want? No. i just said you're full of shit, andf it seems like most people agree with me.

Screw this I'm gonna watch the game.

AND ONE.

[TampaDude]

TD and 1!

[L.I.T]

Nice adjustment getting duncan on the move.

[Spurologist]

TD with a big STFU to the crowd

[manuchick]

WOw good play by timmy!!! :spin

[Jelly]

Hello it's Spurs/Jazz...going to be boring :elephant
F*** off. Just about every commentator and sports writer were raving about the excitement of the last series the Spurs played. All of them saying it was one of the most exciting series they'd seen. And it was. Even without the whole Nash/Horry controversy. It was thrilling, exhilirating basketball.
And if you expect it to be so boring because the Spurs and Jazz are in it (oh, sorry about your Mavs. I missed the funeral) then why they hell are you here on a Saturday night watching this game?

[Nashfan]

No offense, dude, but you're on crack...there's some SERIOUS home cookin' going on tonight...
:lmao

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

C'mon Pop, ADJUST.

No more 4-down.

[manuchick]

I AM not liking Willams right now he is killing us :madrun

[Spurologist]

Fuckin TP. RUN the offense

[resistanze]

FINALLY someone swatted his ass.

[manuchick]

Good block by Robert :elephant

[TampaDude]

:lmao

Who are the Suns? Are they still in the NBA??? :lmao

[L.I.T]

Move Duncan back to the high post. Sloan is bringing guards down at different angles.

And Williams if a fucking beast.

[duncan228]

Horry=Mr. Intangible

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!

[JAZZinSIX]

Maybe I missed your earlier posts Ruff...I'm fired up...I thought you were whining but maybe you weren't

[dg7md]

Deron Williams is an all-star.

[manuchick]

Yeah Bruce is on willams now maybe he can stop him :ihit :ihit

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

AMARELOOMS didn't watch games 1 and 2, obviously. Totally different style of game, refs stayed out of it and it was free and easy to watch.

This is like 2003 rd 1 vs the Suns when all the scores were in the 70s and low 80s.

[CubanMustGo]

First lead for Utah since 1st quarter of game 1.

[Admidave50]

Deron is a flopping bitch!

[TampaDude]

Smart timeout by Duncan.

[ShoogarBear]

That was an AWFUL flop by Williams.

That right there was enough to mandate a rule change. Next year crap like that should be a technical.

[duncan228]

Duncan saves the possession.

[01Snake]

Can this announcer get anymore excited?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

FUCK.

WAKE UP POP AND TIM!!!!

4-down IS NOT GOING TO WORK ToNIGHT! Adjust for fucksake.

[Quiet Strength]

Parker is shooting too many outside shots.. take that shit in parker

[L.I.T]

TP needs to make sure this doesn't become a shooting match between him and DW.

[TampaDude]

I predict the Jazz win this in a close one. The Spurs win Games 4 and 5.

[manuchick]

That is ok we are still going to beat them tonight. We are the better team :toast :clap

[CubanMustGo]

Utah with six offensive rebounds, SA with only two.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Enough is enough.

They are treating Tim Duncan like some late round second pick.

Give the man some respect.

It's now starting to cross the line.

[dbreiden83080]

Better get a leash on Williams he is fixing to go off here. Spurs look too stagnant on offense and Tony is starting to settle for too many jumpers.

[Admidave50]

Parker is shooting too many outside shots.. take that shit in parker

He's shooting 7/13 so far, fine by me

[L.I.T]

11 TOs ain't gonna cut it.

You played the SUNS of course it's going to be exciting. This game is half decent only cause the Jazz are keeping it close. Spurs need for the other team to bring the "exciting" factor :elephant

[CubanMustGo]

Need Oberto back to clog up the lane and get the occasional freebie

[01Snake]

Manu time

[dbreiden83080]

I predict the Jazz win this in a close one. The Spurs win Games 4 and 5.

You'd like to get this one that way game 4 is pressure free. Will be pressure on SA to avoid going back with a must win game 5.

[TampaDude]

I heard that the Spurs have NEVER won in SLC...is that true???

[manuchick]

We need to get the ball to Timmy and he can take the Jazz to school. :elephant

[Texas_Ranger]

Go Spurs Go!!

Unfortunately, I missed games 1 and 2 because my cable was out...(damn you Comcast!!)

[Spurologist]

Exactly.

TP will get his in the SPURS offense. He can't be jacking up threes early in the shot clock.

Run the offense and play smart

The Mavs are only exciting when they choke.

nice td!

[manuchick]

Yes but that will change tonight!! Wow timmy :flag:

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn camera

[Trifecta]

Spurs are 0-6 in playoffs at SLC

[Spurologist]

LMAO

ABC with great camera work. When TP makes a shot, show us Horry's face
