It's dead! Vaughn starts shooting in the 4th

[Trifecta]

JV needs to go to the locker room right now and change his shorts!!!!!!

[TampaDude]

This game is O-V-E-R...

[dbreiden83080]

How many times Tony go to the hole tonight and get hit and get no call about 15 times.

[sanman53]

Well, Spurs gave up on this game. So do I.

[Spurs Brazil]

Pathetic

He is officially the NBA's laughingstock.

[Texas_Ranger]

Free Beno!!!

[duncan2k5]

game over guys...this isn't wonderland...dreams wont come true. pack it up and prepare for gm 4. hopefully they wont screw duncan

[dbreiden83080]

We got a series now guys because they blew us out and now game 4 will be an all out fight, this is now going to be a tough WCF.

[Admidave50]

sad, Jazz are building their confidence for the next game!

I believe Tim is really pissed by the refs now and will come really aggressive on the next game!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Spurs season record: 58-0 (24 games stolen by the refs).
Spurs playoff record: 10-0 (3 games [going on 4] stolen by the refs).

Dallas Mavericks: 2007 NBA Champions*

* screwed by league having to play Nellie's eight seed, otherwise they would have won it all, but instead have distinction of team with best regular season record ever to get smoked in the first round of the playoffs

[L.I.T]

Mavsfan lives up to their reps.

[TampaDude]

I called it earlier...I picked the Spurs to lose this one and win Game 4...and close it out in Game 5.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ruff, my reading comp is compromised by the fact that I'm watching the game, posting, drinking beers, and flying by the seat of my pants. I said 'mea culpa'. I'm not picking a fight except when I am. I read your posts from before and I was wrong.

Thank you.

Apology accepted.

Nice game from your guys. I was one of the people saying after both games 1 and 2 that we hadn't seen the REAL Utah yet, now we have.

See you for a HUGE game 4.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Why does vaughn shoot a jumper early in the shotclock when duncan and parker on the floor, there is no reason for that EVER TO HAPPEN, spurs just plain lost focus and discipline in the fourth.

props to the jazz for rattling us.

i cannot believe vaughn just shot that.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We got a series now guys because they blew us out and now game 4 will be an all out fight, this is now going to be a tough WCF.

Seriously, were you dumbasses expecting otherwise? Oh yeah, you were.

[BUMP]

you guys having fun? lol

We can't win this game...even if we start scoring, there's no d-fence

[duncan2k5]

LMAO@ vaughn

I'm not watching this anymore. This robbery is disgusting.

:lol

[Admidave50]

TP was only one to show up tonight among the Big 3!

Tim had 8 tos and Manu has only 10 pts in 3/11 and got only 1 rebound.

[spurastic]

Mavs fans---Fuuuuuuck off!

[Trifecta]

Game O-V-A!

Read film -- Spurs will kick butt on Monday!

Something has to give on Monday -- Spurs winless in SLC in playoffs, BUT the Spurs have not lost two playoff games in a row in this year!

[JAZZinSIX]

Jazz were better than the first two games, but I doubt they're this good. Game 4 is WWI and WWII wrapped up together. A bloody, painful, war. I love it.

[Jelly]

This loss is all on Pop. His sitting our most important player for THAT long through EVERYONE off kilter. The Spurs were playing well in the first half. Pop needs a good whipping.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

no reason for vaughn to even touch the ball when parker and duncan are in the game

just plain SILLLLYYY

[ShoogarBear]

LMAO at how pathetic Mav Fan who didn't have the balls to show up anytime over the past three weeks decided to start posting in the second half tonight.

[DuncanInYourFace]

Why does vaughn shoot a jumper early in the shotclock when duncan and parker on the floor, there is no reason for that EVER TO HAPPEN, spurs just plain lost focus and discipline in the fourth.

vaughn sucks

[duncan2k5]

How am i a dumbass jerkoff, what is your problem??

[Texas_Ranger]

you guys having fun? lol


Fuck you you asshole. Go fuck yourself Dallas fucker.

[TampaDude]

How many times Tony go to the hole tonight and get hit and get no call about 15 times.

Yeah...the refs just are not calling that shit tonight.

[bigfundamental21]

I called it earlier...I picked the Spurs to lose this one and win Game 4...and close it out in Game 5.



I agree with you. I felt that the Jazz would come out pumped and take Game 3, but we will play pissed off Game 4, win and close it out at home in Game 5.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Pathetic

No, can't agree. We got beaten by a better, more desperate team tonight, and i also think they got the bounce of the ball. It happens.

We'll make some adjustments (use Timmy better, for one) and come back strong in game 4, mark my words.

The Jazz are tough at home, have been all season.

[Dre_7]

you guys having fun? lol

Hell yeah. Bein in the WCF is great. :D

[boutons_]

why did Pop leave JV in with TP? how fucking weird.

[ShoogarBear]

LMAO at how pathetic Mav Fan who didn't have the balls to show up anytime over the past three weeks decided to start posting in the second half tonight.Actually, I don't know why that is suprising. It fits in with the personality of that whole organization.

[dbreiden83080]

:lmao

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZZZERRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

:lol :lol

8 SEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Spurs 7 - 17 in 4th qtr.

[BUMP]

LMAO at how pathetic Mav Fan who didn't have the balls to show up anytime over the past three weeks decided to start posting in the second half tonight.

:lol oh really? three weeks? :lol wont even bother to correct you, you're just really frustrated.

sleep well tonight

[Admidave50]

On the replay of Deron, you clearly see he's fouling Duncan!

Anyway, they've been fouling him all night. Fuck the refs

[Quiet Strength]

haha they were showing replays of duncan getting fouled but they were talking about how great utahs defense was on him

[BUMP]

Fuck you you asshole. Go fuck yourself Dallas fucker.
:lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Two of those three highlights had Williams hitting Tim's arm. When a steal is attempted, and the ball goes UP, you know they hit the arm.

Oh well, it'll just make him madder for game 4. :devil

[Jelly]

Brilliant female commentator just now "I don't think Pop likes the way his team is playing". Insightful.

[Nashfan]

Deron is a flopping bitch!
This says the fan that has Manu and Horry on their team, plus Oberto is getting pretty good at it too. :lol Guess you might have experience in recognizing floppers though :spin

[Mt.Spur]

pop fucks this one up with shitty ass lineup
why didnt pop call timeout when utah made the initial run to go up by 4 then 6 then 8 no fucking timeout by pop wtf?

[Texas_Ranger]

:lol oh really? three weeks? :lol wont even bother to correct you, you're just really frustrated.

sleep well tonight


Spurs 3
Mavs 0

[thewatcher]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaa
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaa

[kevm2]

They even showed the missed calls for the Spurs on the replays, where they showed the Jazz hitting Duncan's arm. Let's just cut this game off. We won't be allowed to win this one.

[ShoogarBear]

I don't remember what day the Mavs got eliminated.

It was probably the day they didn't have the guts to raise the "Western Conference Championship" banner in front of the Spurs.

[Texas_Ranger]

Bowen = dirty.

[DuncanInYourFace]

nice cheap shot

[CubanMustGo]

Where's the Flagrant?

[ShoogarBear]

Jazz are back in full Jerry Sloan playoff mode.

[Admidave50]

Fuck the refs, they've been favoring the Jazz all night! Don't start to whistle for us when the game is dead!

[TampaDude]

we werent robbed. we just sucked. you dont get robbed when you lose by 20

WERD...the Spurs mailed it in tonight...

[CubanMustGo]

If the Spurs don't come out pissed in Game 4 they don't deserve to win this series.

[Spurs Brazil]

OMG Beno

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sit our starters, seriously. What are they still doing there?

[CubanMustGo]

Beno in . Over.

[BUMP]

are they booing Beno? :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lol Jon Barry saying Fisher didn't mean the forearm to Parker, and Van Gundy calling him out for it.

Props to Bob Delaney. Way to finish off the Spurs with the bullshit foul on Bowen followed up by the quick technical.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

BENO siting! :lol

[L.I.T]

The human man-purse is in.

[bigfundamental21]

If the Spurs don't come out pissed in Game 4 they don't deserve to win this series.


Don't worry.... they will be pissed and the Jazz will pay.

[Admidave50]

This says the fan that has Manu and Horry on their team, plus Oberto is getting pretty good at it too. :lol Guess you might have experience in recognizing floppers though :spin

Don't worry I watched the Suns play carefully!

[ShoogarBear]

Sit our starters, seriously. What are they still doing there?Really. The Jazz are going to hurt somebody.

[SpursDynastyLooms]

This was just an example of the Jazz beating a team they're supposed to beat.

[Mt.Spur]

omg bEno in get ready for a 20 -0 spurs run go spurs go!

[MadDog73]

I'll be laughing my ass off at BUMP when we still win the series.

[Texas_Ranger]

BENO, BENO, BENO!!!! Utah is finished.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lmao

One of the commentators just said Beno could START for some teams!

:lmao :lmao :lmao

[Johnny RIngo]

The commentators are terrible. Udrih an NBA starter? LOL

[Warlord23]

Here come the compensating calls to keep the fouls somewhat comparable..

[Borosai]

There have been plenty of bad calls all around, but the Spurs are killing themselves with TO's and bad shots. They just gave up.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

You know what I'd like to see before Duncan retires? The team having the balls to show up for a game 3 after going up 2-0.

[Texas_Ranger]

JVG says that Beno could start for some teams in the league. :lol

[BUMP]

offensive foul on Ginobli

[CubanMustGo]

Refs with the "make it look even" calls at the end. :lol

If you call this weak shit now, where was it on all of Tony's drives?

[Spurs Brazil]

Now the game is over and the refs are calling fouls

PATHETIC

[JAZZinSIX]

Does anyone doubt that DWill might be the best PG in the league?

[dbreiden83080]

Well on to game 4. My confidence factor is not that high given how awful we were in this second half. Very good chance this will be 2-2 heading home.

[Admidave50]

Here come the compensating calls to keep the fouls somewhat comparable..

I agree that's bullshit. Should have come ages before

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'm glad Pop is keeping our starters in so the Jizz can tee of on them with hard fouls. WTF Pop?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Shit, get Manu and TP OFF THE FLOOR!

Jazz sending a goon out to hurt TP or Manu is just what we need on top of this... :rolleyes

[ShoogarBear]

Pop needs to get Manu on the bench.

[Admidave50]

JVG says that Beno could start for some teams in the league. :lol

he must have talked about the other league, the WNBA :lol

[BUMP]

Does anyone doubt that DWill might be the best PG in the league?

are you kidding?

[Texas_Ranger]

Beno was all alone on the 3 pointer. Pass Manu pass.

[A.H 21-50]

Does anyone doubt that DWill might be the best PG in the league?

one of the best pg's

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Now the game is over and the refs are calling fouls

PATHETIC

What do you expect? It's been like this in the NBA for about 8 years now when a team's down 2-0. Call the game completely one-sided until it's no longer in doubt, then even things up for the box score in the morning.

[sanman53]

I don't want to see anyone in foul trouble for any team. This is the WCF, let them play some good playoff basketball!

[Borosai]

Duncan earned most of his fouls. The TOs are all on him. Just sloppy, uninspired play. Hopefully they rectify it for game 4.

[Texas_Ranger]

he must have talked about the other league, the WNBA :lol

:lol :lol

[ducks]

Hell ducks why do you ALWAYS do this crap? TEAM game.
when duncan gets in foul trouble the other 2 need to step up

[Texas_Ranger]

Van Gundy never said he could start for some teams he said the Spurs are so deep that Beno would be the back up point guard for most teams.

He said thet and that he could be a starter in some.

[Spurologist]

Sloan should just let all his starters finish the game.

That's what you get. Force his ass out

[Jelly]

Don't these guys were cups anymore?

[resistanze]

NiCE HIT!!! I'd do that too. :lol

Get your fucking starters off.

[mavsfan1000]

Haha. Spurs getting owned tonight. I'm loving it. :D

[Quiet Strength]

hahaha that foul on bonner was so weak

[Amarelooms2]

Whatever mod banned my original account please undo it....as I did nothing wrong. I even clearly stated that I am pulling for the SPurs. You mods need to chill out. The Mavs fans constantly catch shit here....grow up. BTW I have already e-mail Kori

[MannyIsGod]

Jesus Christ, that wasn't even a foul.

[sanman53]

Breen going crazy after every Jazz made basketball.

[dbreiden83080]

Van Gundy never said he could start for some teams he said the Spurs are so deep that Beno would be the back up point guard for most teams.

Beno should start applying for MASCOT jobs in the league, he will never play good minutes for any team in the NBA again.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fuck yeah, nice foul Bonner.

[Johnny RIngo]

He said thet and that he could be a starter in some.

Yeah. I usually like Van Gundy but that comment was freaking stupid.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

DWill is up there. I know he'd be great at the end of last year when he stepped up in those last 20 games. He's a top 5 PG already, not the best in the NBA though. May be one day.

[Admidave50]

Get Horry in for a body check and let's take Deron & Boozer out of the next games with suspensions

[BUMP]

Oh! What A Cheap Shot! Trying To Injure Their Best Player! Wow! Gotta Cheat To Win

[THE ONE AND ONLY]

this is pathetic
can anyone honestly say they saw this coming?

[MannyIsGod]

Haha. Spurs getting owned tonight. I'm loving it. :DLosing in the first round lowers the standards of what you expect out of the playoffs.

[CubanMustGo]

Williams earns the Emmy for best acting job. Geez.

[sanman53]

Jazz by 30?

[Quiet Strength]

Why are their starters stil out there?

To fire up the spurs for next game.. sounds good to me

[BUMP]

suspend some of the Spurs players for this garbage

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Bonner with a feathery touch causes Williams to need to go to the hospital

[L.I.T]

Spurs will rebound next game. This reminds me a lot of Game 2 last series. Some adjustments on the offensive end. The Jazz just played lights out this game.

On another note, Mark Jackson needs to quite with the on-air fellatio of DW. We get it, he's a superstar. But STFU and let JVG be insightful.

[VaSpursFan]

man...fucking utah is on fire tonight...they can't miss

[ballhog]

Spurs telling Deron to get the fuck off the floor.

[resistanze]

Haha. Spurs getting owned tonight. I'm loving it. :D
SMH @ you putting the Phoenix Suns as your team and now switching back.

[dbreiden83080]

Haha. Spurs getting owned tonight. I'm loving it. :D

How drunk do you think Dirk is right now, admiring his MVP trophy while drowning his sorrows in how much he sucked ass in the playoffs.

[BUMP]

kick Bonner out of the NBA for life!

wow! what a cheap shot!

[Texas_Ranger]

Williams earns the Emmy for best acting job. Geez.

Fuck the Emmy, he deserves an OSCAR.

[ducks]

duncan sucked donkeys tonight

[Extra Stout]

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

For those of you who didn't follow the Spurs in the 1990's, we would like to welcome you to playoff basketball in Salt Lake City, Utah.

[Spurs Brazil]

Elson + JV + Barry = Terrible

[Admidave50]

lame to get beaten by +20 pts

[dbreiden83080]

this is pathetic
can anyone honestly say they saw this coming?

No i thought the Jazz would win a close one but not this. Game 4 will be a bitch because they now feel they can beat us after this 2nd half debacle.

[boutons_]

The Spurs are special,aren't they? Some games they aren't even be competitive, look like a lottery team.

Spurs didn't really dominate in SA, and then they get embarrassed in SLC. Very similar to the 05 Finals. Will the Spurs get embarrassed again in Game4?

[VaSpursFan]

i'm glad this happend...we'll make adjustments for game 4 and it'll be a war with the spurs prevailing

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Oh! What A Cheap Shot! Trying To Injure Their Best Player! Wow! Gotta Cheat To Win

mouse, didn't see you crying about the Collins elbow of TD in the first half, or Fisher's clothesline of Bowen.

[BUMP]

Jazz should get Malone on the court so he can throw elbows and injure some Spurs :lol

[Admidave50]

Shit, can you believe that Jazz outscored us 62 - 35 in the 2nd half?

[CubanMustGo]

Congrats on the win Utah. Not hard to see why you haven't lost at home in the playoffs.

[Spurologist]

Fuck the Emmy, he deserves an OSCAR.

FUCK THAT, he deserves a lifetime achievement award

[Warlord23]

Look, the Spurs (and us fans) have seen this before ... home cooking and a dispirited showing from the Spurs to give up on a game.

What I want to see from the Spurs is to come out smoking in game 4 and take it to the Jazz. The defense clearly wasn't there tonight, partly because Duncan and Bowen were in foul trouble tonight. You know you're in trouble when Vaughn, Elson and Barry combine for 42 minutes.

The guys better show up to play next game.

[Borosai]

The Spurs, before this game, had won 4 straight games. They can't win them all. If they take game 4, this game will be forgotten.

The refs have been whistle-happy tonight, but they just need to play smarter, take better shots, and wtf is up with the TOs?

[Texas_Ranger]

Jazz should get Malone on the court so he can throw elbows and injure some Spurs :lol

You're gay.

[lemming]

DWill is up there. I know he'd be great at the end of last year when he stepped up in those last 20 games. He's a top 5 PG already, not the best in the NBA though. May be one day.
he's a sieve on d.

You still here? Don't you have anything better to do?

You really are a masochist. Shall we discuss what happened in the first round again? :flipoff :lol

I'm not worried after this game. They HAD to win or it was the seaosn for them... we will come out hard in game 4.

Gotta say the Utah crowd has been awesome. Put our lame crowds lately to shame. Yes, AT&T crowd, you have been called out. Make our home intimidating again, get loud and proud, or you don't deserve to be Spurs fans.

[ballhog]

Duncan earned most of his fouls. The TOs are all on him. Just sloppy, uninspired play. Hopefully they rectify it for game 4.

Looks like he took a hell of a beating all game long. All 20 min in the game.

[JAZZinSIX]

This win only proves we deserved to be here. But that's crap. We still have a mountain to climb just to beat you in game 4. Then, when we WIN that game, we have to show that we can beat you in SA.

[Borosai]

Congrats on the win Utah. Not hard to see why you haven't lost at home in the playoffs.

Spurs want to be Champions, but games like this make them look like they shouldn't even be in the playoffs. Come on, at least have some pride and be competitive.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Someone needs to help Breen get off his knees. If he sucks Utah's dick any harder he's going to go cross-eyed.

[HJNTX]

OMG!!! This has been the most horribly called game I have seen in a long time. True, the SPURS haven't played like they needed to play but the calls are SO weighted against the SPURS it's disgusting!!! Boy Williams wimped out...

[Spurs Brazil]

Vaughn is bad but Beno...

spurs had a letdown because spurs won so easily at home

Yup, I did. The hardly showed up in games 1 and 2, but if you watched them at all this season you knew they were a better team than they showed, and we saw the real Jazz tonight.

No worries. we will adjust and come back tough on Monday.

[ducks]

pop has their attention now

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Spurs want to be Champions, but games like this make them look like they shouldn't even be in the playoffs. Come on, at least have some pride and be competitive.

We've been mailing in game 3s after going up 2-0 since '99. Quit being such a drama queen.

spurs settled for to many jumpers early

Haha. Spurs getting owned tonight. I'm loving it. :D

Too bad for you it's all you have to love...the Mavs are choking cunts...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Deron has a stinger. Great pick, Bonner :tu

[Admidave50]

This win only proves we deserved to be here. But that's crap. We still have a mountain to climb just to beat you in game 4. Then, when we WIN that game, we have to show that we can beat you in SA.

this win shows the refs are whistle happy, nothing else, oh and it does show vaughn shouldnt be playing anymore.

[Texas_Ranger]

OK. Beno it's time fore some 3 pointers. We can win this one, just pass to Beno.

[ducks]

with those elbows flying tonight
you can see why spur fans hated jazz

[makedamnsure]

could these commentators suck Williams' dick anymore? honestly. I hate ABC/ESPN

[BUMP]

is it just me or his Mark Jackson giving Okur way too much credit?

dude hasnt even scored :lol

[spurastic]

I'm a homer and proud of it!!! The refs got it going for the Jazz and Spurs rolled over.

[ballhog]

Too bad Jazz only have possible 3 home games.

duncan 8 tonight wtf

He's hardly had any floor time Ducks.

[Warlord23]

Congrats. The Jazz really showed effort and hustle, especially on D. Let's see if they can keep it up, if/when Duncan gets to play more than 24 minutes.

[dbreiden83080]

Spurs do have a bit of a nasty history of getting blown out after playing well in the playoffs. Got whipped by the Pistons in 2 straight games in 05 after going up 2-0. Got blownout by the Sonics in game 4 to tie that series at 2. We should come back but i am annoyed at how bad they showed up in the second half.

[TampaDude]

man...fucking utah is on fire tonight...they can't miss

Yeah...there was no fucking way the Spurs were going to come back in this game with the Jazz hitting EVERY FUCKING LONG JUMPER they shot.

[Spurologist]

BENNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

[ducks]

He's hardly had any floor time Ducks.
no shit but he still had 8 turnovers

[ShoogarBear]

Good to see Playoff Beno is still in form.

[L.I.T]

Jazz flipped the script on the Spurs. Won by attacking the rim, solid defense and timely three-point shooting.

Update: Udrih still can't dribble in the playoffs.

[Texas_Ranger]

Beno rules.

[CubanMustGo]

Talk with you guys Monday night, l8rs!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

is it just me or his Mark Jackson giving Okur way too much credit?

dude hasnt even scored :lol

:lol Exactly. He played defense on two possessions in the second quarter. But Jackson has been a Spurs hata since he retired, so this isn't that surprising.

[ballhog]

Man, refs still calling fouls on Spurs. Isn't the game over already?

[Warlord23]

no shit but he still had 8 turnovers

The refs were calling it loose today. Did you see Duncan get hammered across the wrist twice by the doubler ... no call though

[PB&J]

Man, refs still calling fouls on Spurs. Isn't the game over already?

:lol :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Beno sucks

[duncan228]

Duncan doesn't look too upset on the bench. That's a good sign.
Remember him slump shouldered on the bench after game 3 in the '05 Finals?
His body language tonight is much better.
We'll be fine on Monday.

I believe. In Tim Duncan.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Marc Jackson should just get on his knees and start sucking D Williams cock!

It's MarK Jackson, not MarC Jackson. The latter plays for Philly. ;)

[ducks]

duncan knows the refs blew this game and it is not on the spurs

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The refs were calling it loose today. Did you see Duncan get hammered across the wrist twice by the doubler ... no call though

The refs called it loose at one end, when Utah was playing D. It's not why we lost, but it helped.

[themvp]

Beno is awsome :lol

[BUMP]

nice win Jazz. just take care of business in game 4, and the momentum will shift

:clap :clap :clap

36 points for SA in the second half. Weak.

[TampaDude]

Congrats to the Jazz...you kicked our asses tonight...enjoy the win...it's the last one you're gonna get in this series.

[HJNTX]

Jazz played out of their minds tonight. Can they repeat it? Maybe if they have the same refs. :lol

I honestly expected the Jazz to win tonight.. NO WAY they can beat the SPURS 4 in a row though, so don't sweat it friends .....Tonight, thanks to their refs they took one ... Won't happen again ...

[Texas_Ranger]

Props to Jazz.

[Borosai]

The Jazz played a great game, something they sorely needed. Now they have more confidence, which is never good.

The Spurs have been outplayed in the 2nd half all three games. This time, they didn't have a double-digit lead to play with.

Game 4 is going to be interesting. Hopefully the Spurs aren't intimidated again by all the damn free t-shirts.

[ducks]

props to the jazz for the collins elbow to duncan

[dbreiden83080]

Duncan doesn't look too upset on the bench. That's a good sign.
Remember him slump shouldered on the bench after game 3 in the '05 Finals?
His body language tonight is much better.
We'll be fine on Monday.

I believe. In Tim Duncan.

Duncan could have played awesome tonight and it would not have mattered. Nobody showed up on Defense in the 2nd half, NOBODY!!

[iflyabeech]

listened to the game on the radio due to work so I didn't get to watch...again...sounded like a spurs foul on every play...pretty gay if you ask me....can't the zebras at least be consistent?

[TampaDude]

duncan knows the refs blew this game and it is not on the spurs

Uh...no...if the Spurs lost a close one, I could see making that argument, but a 26-point BLOWOUT??? That's all on the Spurs.

[BUMP]

Duncan doesn't look too upset on the bench. That's a good sign.
maybe he doesnt care

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

No worries at all.

Game 4 will be HUGE, I just hope the calls are even, because Tim and Tony may as well have been playing under hockey rules tonight.

No excuse though, the Jazz took their opportunities and handed out a good ol fashioned whooping.

We'll be back.

[iflyabeech]

duncan knows the refs blew this game and it is not on the spurs
spurs were choking it at the end, but the refs started the slide with all those foul calls!! i wonder what the stats say on the lopsided foul calls?

[Amarelooms2]

nice win Jazz. just take care of business in game 4, and the momentum will shift

:clap :clap :clap

Hey how come my account got banned and yours didn't? You are trolling way more than me :elephant

[iflyabeech]

I guess since I have tickets for game 5 i shouldn't have wished for game 5! It will be awesome to see the spurs close out the mormons at home!!

[Vinnie_Johnson]

No big deal you guys will win the next and be up 3-1 heading home.

[Borosai]

Too many people are blaming the refs... you sound like Suns fans. That's sad.

The Spurs got outplayed. Move on.

[td4mvp21]

Why we lost (in order):
No second half defense
Poor second half offense
Pop's dumbass lineups
Finley barely played, Barry played a lot
Last, the refs fucking sucked. It was so biased it's not even funny. That didn't really help the above 4 reasons.

[ducks]

IS FINELY's back ok barry played alot

[Trifecta]

Lack of interior D sealed the loss for the Spurs!

Duncan did not find a good rhythm with the foul trouble and some of his post moves were shaky!

Pops lineups were Quirky at times! JV seemed to get much run tonight, and got ran over! Barry was playing with cement shoes!

[TampaDude]

nice win Jazz. just take care of business in game 4, and the momentum will shift

:clap :clap :clap

Spurs = 3 titles (soon to be 4)

Mavs = ZERO titles (unless you count "greatest choke of all time" as an award)

:lmao Mavs are worthless, pathetic losers...and they always will be...Dirk NOWINski and Losin' Cuban can suck my cock.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Too many people are blaming the refs... you sound like Suns fans. That's sad.

Agreed. No excuses. Whatever the reffing, Jazz out-competed us.

However, it was called horribly. Just a terrible game to watch with whistles every 10 seconds.

[efrem1]

Man what a turkey of a game tonight. The Spurs just keep getting comfortable and do the Phoenix Game 2 special. Nut it up next game guys!!!

[thewatcher]

Dominated

tony has played great eva longoria was at the game?

Yes, she was

Yep, I expect her to attend the rest of the games

If you don't think that was not a weighted game, you didn't watch the same game i just watched .. The SPURS did not seem to play w/ any enthusiasm and that could be attributed to two things: 1) One-sided calls against the SPURS, 2) No umph! in their step ..

For the SPURS to win this series, an ultimately the NBA Champsionship Tony Parker MUST step up and be a monster---like that Transformer commercial .. He can not play a mediocre game and the SPURS win ...

[Solid D]

Typical road stinker by the Spurs in the 2nd half. Very similar to the 1st loss in Phoenix.

great O but nasheske D

[manuchick]

My Husband works with a guy who is a big Jazz fan . He told us his team was going to win tonight and we told him to enjoy his one game win. Because the spurs will kick but in game 4 and 5. No worries we are the better team. It was a tough loss but hey that is the way it goes some nights. :depressed
:flag:

[Nashfan]

Refs keep bailing the Jazz out.


Hey, now you know how the Suns felt. :lmao

[Warlord23]

Spurs mailing it in after a 2-0 lead is nothing new. I just hope they man up for game 4. The number of uncontested layups they gave up today, plus the bonehead fouls was frustrating beyond words

In the pre-game special on 12, they said Finley's back had tightened back up and they weren't even sure he would be able to play at all... I could tell he wasn't getting the push he usually does so I think it probably was still bothering him ... He was quiet and seemed stiff ...

No the suns would have lost even if you had not lost your 2 best players. We still would have bet you in game 7!!!!!! :clap :clap

Hey, now you know how the Suns felt. :lmao
When are you Sun fans going to man up and admit where the fault lies. Amare is so stupid that he can't control his emotions. Is he a AFS?

I did watch the game, and I agree the refs were whistle-happy. The Jazz had a few people in foul trouble as well, but obviously they weren't Williams or Boozer. The refs didn't force Duncan into so many turnovers, or the other guys into quick, bad shots. It was a stinker by the Spurs, while the Jazz played great.

[td4mvp21]

Tony was the only Spurs that performed well tonight (Duncan couldn't really do much because of foul trouble).


Is anyone else concerned about the shitty lineups Pop pulled? He went to small ball and other weird combinations. Not a good sign.

[ducks]

did you see his d?
he got in some foul trouble and had to be carefully
