Round 3, Game 4: Spurs vs Jazz Official Game Blog Thread

[HJNTX]

That loudmouth idiot needs to shut his damn mouth!!! Who is he? He was hurt when their shot didn't go a few minutes ago ..Thought he was about to cry ...

[yeahone]

that outside shot not fallling

[milkyway21]

Finley 3pt shot =11 pts :clap

[Mr. Body]

What Jackson fails to understand is that, although he's a great mid-range scorer, he's also getting brutal picks opening up everything for him. He's not doing it all alone.

But Mark Jackson has never played basketball before. At least I don't think so, way he sounds.

[FromWayDowntown]

Is Manu playing like Manu good or bad?

It can be both. That time, it was good.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

2 fouls at the 10minute mark and we never got them in the penalty...:wtf

[Spurologist]

TP now getting calls.

Makes these tp

[VaSpursFan]

elson almost fucked the play up by running over horry...elson is fucking clueless out there

[yeahone]

tp really palying brave tonight thats good

[jmard5]

Hack-a-Collins...

[FromWayDowntown]

Tough half for Parker, but he's at least continuing to attack the basket.

[easjer]

If we can't hit our FTs, it's going to hurt a lot.

[SuperManu!!!]

Can someone tell parker that he isn't the only player on court and that i don't pay tv just to see him score???

[milkyway21]

no one attacking him on the offensive end which is why boewne needs to sit because williams is resting on the defensiveokay i get it now. thanks!

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice job Manuuuuuu

[FromWayDowntown]

Great positioning and sell by Manu.

[GrandeDavid]

Bad ass fuggin charge!!

[Spurologist]

Manu is omni present

Therefore he is GOD

[FromWayDowntown]

+8, can get to double digits before the half.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu is not doing too much... but look for him to explode in the 3rd or fourth.

Mark Jackson played in the Finals for Indiana, but he was a passer not a scorer, so I think he has "passer's envy" of Williams' scoring skill. :lol

[GrandeDavid]

50-42. I'll take that any night.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

And Tony fucks up the 183,293,293rd end of quarter play of his career. :pctoss

[GrandeDavid]

The Utah crowd has no class booing Parker during his interview. :lol

I hope Spurs fans learn from them. :lol

[easjer]

OK. Up by 8.

Will they play well enough to make it last? Spurs playing ugly tonight. They really need to start moving the ball and setting things up, making the switches. I hope more of the outside shots start falling in the second.

[TampaDude]

Spurs have an 8-point lead at the half...let's not let the Jazz back in this time...we can win this!!!

[gilmor]

Can someone tell parker that he isn't the only player on court and that i don't pay tv just to see him score???

You can't stop paying and stop watching.. :)

[FromWayDowntown]

Again, Williams and Boozer are 12-20 for the half, and have 28 points.

The rest of the Jazz have made 4 field goals (4-15) and have 14 points -- 3 bench points.

[slayermin]

And Tony fucks up the 183,293,293rd end of quarter play of his career. :pctoss

He did get that three against the Lakers in '04.

[HJNTX]

The Utah crowd has no class booing Parker during his interview. :lol

I hope Spurs fans learn from them. :lol


Just shows they have no class whatsoever....San Antonio fans are of a different class than those idiots...

[jmard5]

The Utah crowd has no class booing Parker during his interview. :lol

I hope Spurs fans learn from them. :lol

Well, TP is an enemy on their homecourt. :lol

[dbreiden83080]

Key to the 2nd half, Tim must start dominating, Tony keep driving, let Williams and Boozer get there's and keep everyone else in check.

[VaSpursFan]

decent first half...weathered the hot shooting jazz. if they cool off in the second half and we keep executing AND attacking the basket...it will be a spurs victory

[Kori Ellis]

And Tony fucks up the 183,293,293rd end of quarter play of his career. :pctoss

:lol Yeah driving and dishing to someone who misses a 3 is a fuck up.


You really need to simmer down your hate. It's immature and ridiculous at this point.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It's all about the 3rd. that's where we fell over last game.

Just got to play it smart, drive the ball, move the ball, occasionally attack through Tim, and keep the D solid. In other words, GRIND IT OUT.

[boutons_]

OK, +8 at the half, but Spur have lost all 3 second halves.

Jazz are tough 2nd half team.

Tonight Spurs have to prevail in the 2nd 24 minutes to put this series out of reach.

[SuperManu!!!]

I'm tired of watching parker driving to the lane when there are 4 utah players on the paint.....be smart!

[Mr. Body]

Again, Williams and Boozer are 12-20 for the half, and have 28 points.

I didn't realize they had missed any shots. Their pick and roll is devastating.

[FromWayDowntown]

Timmy is within 10 minutes, 2 FGA and 4 turnovers of matching his Game 3 output.

[Kori Ellis]

The Utah crowd has no class booing Parker during his interview. :lol

I hope Spurs fans learn from them. :lol

Jazz fans are awesome. They boo everything. They heckle the hell out of the Spurs players. And they live and die with every play.

[smeagol]

Refs are making horrible calls against the Jazz...any non homer can see that. Someone tell the refs Utah is at home
Please kindly fuck off.

You teams have lost. Gone fishing. Hasta mañana. Fuck off.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Again, Williams and Boozer are 12-20 for the half, and have 28 points.

The rest of the Jazz have made 4 field goals (4-15) and have 14 points -- 3 bench points.

[GrandeDavid]

Damn, Miss USA just slipped and f-ing fell on stage. OUCH! Poor thing!

[TampaDude]

Again, Williams and Boozer are 12-20 for the half, and have 28 points.

The rest of the Jazz have made 4 field goals (4-15) and have 14 points -- 3 bench points.

Yup...Williams and Boozer are keeping the Jazz in this game...they are locked in with those midrange jumpers...nothing much we can do about that except hope they start to miss.

[boutons_]

Aggie's boyfriends haven't screwed him recently.

[Kori Ellis]

I'm tired of watching parker driving to the lane when there are 4 utah players on the paint.....be smart!

Umm.. that's what he is supposed to do. Keep driving the lane.

[mattyc]

Going okay at the half. Need some more fluidity in our shooting game, but we are going okay.

[ALVAREZ6]

Man, Tim Duncan has to wake up. I acknowledge the fact that he had some good shots in that first half, but he's getting stripped a whole fucking lot. It's like he has no awareness of the fact that Utah is actually trying to steal it from him, because that's what defenses do. Don't be suprised at the outcome when you're holding the ball too long when you're being triple-teamed.


At least the Spurs are up 8. I hope they maintain a comfortable lead and then apply some pressure in the 4th quarter to win the game.

[HJNTX]

Hopefully, the SPURS will come out hard in the third as, this generally is where they win or lose the game....

[FromWayDowntown]

I didn't realize they had missed any shots. Their pick and roll is devastating.

Agreed. They were 10-15 at one point, so the Spurs held them to 2-5 from that point. Mostly, they started bringing a double on Boozer at the catch (with Bowen) and they seem to be disrupting some of Boozer's rhythm with that choice.

[spurastic]

Tony has started playing smart and damn good, you haters.

[Budkin]

We're in pretty good position considering TP's shot is off and Timmy got a foul 24 seconds into the game.

[Kori Ellis]

The refs aren't going to really call anything in this game and the Spurs are going to end up very beat up - but they have to just keep penetrating.

[smeagol]

:lol Yeah driving and dishing to someone who misses a 3 is a fuck up.


You really need to simmer down your hate. It's immature and ridiculous at this point.
AHF's hate cancells with ducks love :lol

[boutons_]

Jazz fans are ignorant western/mountain/in-bred/retrograde hicks.

[GrandeDavid]

Poor Miss USA. I think Miss Brazil will win it now. Anyway, the Spurs are in it to win it tonight. I can live with Tim only holding 2 fouls after 2. Just be careful in the 3rd, obviously.

[FromWayDowntown]

Much better rebounding effort to this point for the Spurs. 6 offensive boards and +7 overall on the glass.

[gilmor]

:lol Yeah driving and dishing to someone who misses a 3 is a fuck up.


You really need to simmer down your hate. It's immature and ridiculous at this point.

Kori.. U will still less of him and like kinds in the years going on.. Cos Tony will only get better..

[smeagol]

Boozer and Williams can't miss from 18 ft

[HJNTX]

Jazz fans are ignorant western/mountain/in-bred/retrograde hicks.


Can you think of any other adjectives that describe Jazz fans? :rolleyes

[boutons_]

Spurs cold from the 3, 30%. they need to keep driving and drawing fouls.

[Spurologist]

It's almost surprising to be at 50 pts for the half. The three point shot hasn't fallen and the big three is shooting 41% fg. The diference is the +7 edge on rebouding and better defense. The 7 turnovers still worry me. As long as the scrubs for Utah don't get theirs, we can withstand mini runs by Utah. Someone for the spurs will need to catch fire to open the game more to open shots from 3333333333.

+8 pts at the half is solid.

[smeagol]

Jazz fans are ignorant western/mountain/in-bred/retrograde hicks.
Isn't that how you describe Republicans? :lol

[SuperManu!!!]

Umm.. that's what he is supposed to do. Keep driving the lane.

What? and wait for refs to call for a foul??? They aren't giving any fouls today, so be smart and pass the ball to the big mans or to the perimeter players

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lol Yeah driving and dishing to someone who misses a 3 is a fuck up.


You really need to simmer down your hate. It's immature and ridiculous at this point.

Come on Kori, Horry didn't even get the ball until the clock read 0.0

[td4mvp21]

Jazz fans are awesome. They boo everything. They heckle the hell out of the Spurs players. And they live and die with every play.

That's called being ignorant and classless. You don't boo a player that has nothing to do with how the refs are calling the game or how the Jazz are performing. The Spurs have given the Jazz nothing but respect this series and the fans respond with this shit? Please, they aren't awesome they are classless.


Anyway, I'm glad that we are up but we must have a just as good or even better second half. Doing well in the first half has been the story of every game this series; the second half has oddly given us trouble. I want to see just as good of effort in the second half. Tighten up the D. If we stop Boozer or Williams, we will win. We have shut down everyone else. Continue to rebound, drive the lane and be just as physical/agressive. HIT THE OUTSIDE SHOTS, dammit.

[GrandeDavid]

Deron Williams really is sick tonight. :rolleyes

[boutons_]

Spurs went from 36% in 1st qtr to 46% shooting at the half.

[smeagol]

Much better rebounding effort to this point for the Spurs. 6 offensive boards and +7 overall on the glass.
Oberto is doing a nice job with his tip-outs. Pitty he missed that easy basket after the offensive rebound!

[Kori Ellis]

Come on Kori, Horry didn't even get the ball until the clock read 0.0

Around .8 - 1.2 but you are still acting like a moron every game and it's getting tiring.

[GrandeDavid]

Jazz fans are awesome. They boo everything. They heckle the hell out of the Spurs players. And they live and die with every play.

I was just joking. I think they are great, too, which is why I hope Spurs fans planning to attend Game 5 are taking notes tonight!

[Borosai]

No halftime lead is secure in this series. I hope the Spurs show their experience and play just as hard as the Jazz in the second half.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Kori.. U will still less of him and like kinds in the years going on.. Cos Tony will only get better..

Tony's on his way to greatness and will be the face of the franchise after Tim leaves.

What's wrong with calling him out? I've lost track the # of times he's taken a bad shot or not gotten the pass to a teammate in time at the end of a quarter.

Horry was screaming (you could hear him yelling for crying out loud :lol) for the ball, and Tony didn't get it to him until the buzzer went off.

[Kori Ellis]

Oberto is doing a nice job with his tip-outs. Pitty he missed that easy basket after the offensive rebound!

Yeah he's doing an awesome job doing the dirty work. I hope he can avoid getting his 4th foul for awhile.

[td4mvp21]

Parker has kept us in the game. He's gotten to the line 7 times and he's the only Spurs the refs are calling shooting fouls for. He needs to keep going at it. We aren't hitting outside shots right now so you want him to pass it? Yeah, nice logic.

[boutons_]

Spurs gotta do it all over again in the 2nd half, and more, to counteract the Jazz stepping it up.

[Spurologist]

Spurs went from 36% in 1st qtr to 46% shooting at the half.

:wow

YOu are giving out a positive statistic

[slayermin]

Man, I hope Manu comes up big tonight.

[CubanMustGo]

Deron Williams really is sick tonight. :rolleyes

Yeah, and that "stinger" he got in game 3 is really bothering him, too.
:rolleyes

[Kori Ellis]

Horry was screaming (you could hear him yelling for crying out loud :lol) for the ball, and Tony didn't get it to him until the buzzer went off.

What's wrong with calling him out is that consists of about 75% of your posts these days. And I'm fucking sick of it.

[manubili]

We need to extend the lead now, with 3 pointers. Otherwise it would be a very hard fourth quarter when Utah always improves its game.

[ALVAREZ6]

I agree with Kori, the Jazz fans kick ass.


Our fans at my HS are fucking rediculous, we're just as loud with 18,000 less people. It's rediculous.

When it comes to cheering at a game, fuck class. Your job as a fan is to give your team the best chances of winning, and that is by being loud, obnoxious, and constantly pissing off the other team. Not by sitting back in your chair, clapping occasionally, exposing your vagina to the other team.

[FromWayDowntown]

Third quarter is huge here, I think.

If the Spurs let the Jazz back into it in the 3rd, it could be a tough 4th quarter.

[CubanMustGo]

What's wrong with calling him out is that consists of about 75% of your posts these days. And I'm fucking sick of it.

:tu and 24% of the rest are "Pop fucking sucks"

[TMTTRIO]

Manu MIA again. Wake up Manu

[td4mvp21]

Third quarter is huge here, I think.

If the Spurs let the Jazz back into it in the 3rd, it could be a tough 4th quarter.

It will be a tough quarter if they let them back, no question about it.

[timvp]

Thoughts:

-Duncan still getting beat up but he's made some good moves. He's playing tough and is still trying to figure out the defense. Duncan playing this hard is something I'll take every game.

-Parker shot a couple shots he shouldn't but with the way the Jazz are hacking, he's doing the smart and courageous thing of taking the ball to the basket. He's going to get knocked to the ground almost every time. If the Jazz aren't going to send help from the corners, no reason he should pass on the pick and rolls. Just keep attacking and make them keep hammering Parker and live at the line.

-Manu doing the little things well. He needs to start driving more though. The Jazz have been instructed to foul and foul hard. He'll too could live at the line if he starts relentlessly driving.

-Williams is just on fire. He's hitting shots he's never hit in his life. But as long as the Spurs don't let him create for others too much, they can live with him going for 35.

-Boozer is on fire, too. He's hitting fall back jumpers over an extended Duncan. How many players have you ever seen who've hit that shot against Duncan consistently?

-Overall can't fault the defense too much. Williams and Boozer are on fire.

-Offensively if the Spurs guards keep driving the lane and Duncan keeps posting deep, eventually they'll have to start sending help. At that point, the three-point shooters will have to step up.




The bottomline is the second half is going to be huge. The Spurs haven't outplayed the Jazz at all so far in a game in the second half. Each of the first three games this has been where the Jazz played well.

Time to change that by keeping up the aggression and energy. Stay out of foul trouble. Stay healthy.

And get this game.

:smokin

[easjer]

I really hope they come out a lot stronger than they have at any other point this series. I want them to win this game.

Come out strong, keep the D going, move the fucking ball and get creative.

[GrandeDavid]

I like a physical game. The Jazz will be feeling it just like the Spurs. That's what they get paid the big bucks for, to aspire and hopefully make it to the championship round, playing physical as hell, willing to win.

[smeagol]

Yeah he's doing an awesome job doing the dirty work. I hope he can avoid getting his 4th foul for awhile.
Now you are asking for too much. :spin

[Walton Buys Off Me]

Keys to the second half;

1. Stay out of foul trouble (Oberto, Duncan, Bowen, Parker)
2. Stop giving Williams so much room, crowd the prick
3. Make free throws
4. Rebound
5. Anticipate intensity and handle it like experienced professionals

Let's do this!!

Oh yeah and step on their fucking throats! I'm looking at you Manu...

[duncan228]

Third quarter is huge here, I think.

If the Spurs let the Jazz back into it in the 3rd, it could be a tough 4th quarter.

Agreed.
They've got to keep grinding.
Mistakes will be costly against this team.

[Budkin]

Deron Williams really is sick tonight. :rolleyes

We all knew that was bullshit.

[Kori Ellis]

Third quarter is huge here, I think.

If the Spurs let the Jazz back into it in the 3rd, it could be a tough 4th quarter.

The Spurs need to push it hard in the first five minutes of the 3rd quarter. The Jazz have been dominating the 2nd halves and the Spurs cannot let it happen again.

[td4mvp21]

Come on Spurs, WIN WIN WIN.

[ALVAREZ6]

Third quarter is huge here, I think.

If the Spurs let the Jazz back into it in the 3rd, it could be a tough 4th quarter.WILL

[ATXSPUR]

I was just joking. I think they are great, too, which is why I hope Spurs fans planning to attend Game 5 are taking notes tonight!

Fans like jazz fans are for lower tier teams. When you are at the elite level the Spurs are at the fans should act like they have been there before. Now that does not mean do not get loud. But the juvenille chants should not be employed. Unless someone makes it personal like Stoudewhiner did. The "Dirty" thats were great.

[easjer]

I don't know - DWill is playing well regardless, but he looks pale and sweaty. I bet that whatever he took is going to catch up with him and he's going to be bad for a couple more days. Too bad it won't be enough to stop him.

[Kori Ellis]

I think I heard the bull-horned heckler say Oberto's mom is a whore. Obviously I'm not condoning that. But the Jazz fans' overall rowdiness is great.

The "Dirty" thats were great.hmm lower tier teams huh? they sure don't seem that way right now, do they?

[easjer]

You want to stick it to the Jazz fans? Spurs win this game. Then make sure this loss is the last game they see for a few months.

[ALVAREZ6]

I don't know - DWill is playing well regardless, but he looks pale and sweaty.He always looks pale, and he's playing NBA basketball therefore as a human, sweats.

[dbreiden83080]

Come on guys come out strong, we need it GO SPURS GO!!!

[SuperManu!!!]

I belive.....do you???? :tu

[Kori Ellis]

I belive.....do you???? :tu

Yes. I think Manu will have 25 in this half.

[FromWayDowntown]

The Spurs need to push it hard in the first five minutes of the 3rd quarter. The Jazz have been dominating the 2nd halves and the Spurs cannot let it happen again.

I take staying aggressive and playing hard for the next 24 minutes. You're right, though -- a good start to the 3rd should go a long way towards making that happen.

[ALVAREZ6]

No fear.

[easjer]

Go Spurs Go!!!

[Tha Carter]

The way some of u were talking, i thought spurs were down at halftime lol but they are leading and i hope they keep piling it on..go spurs!!

[FromWayDowntown]

Calling the Jazz a lower-tier team is rich. Watch much NBA?

cue obligatory "no rings" blast.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yes. I think Manu will have 25 in this half.

Not sure about 25, but 15-20 wouldn't surprise me at all.

[FromWayDowntown]

2 offensive boards right out of the box, not good.

[CubanMustGo]

Calling the Jazz a lower-tier team is rich. Watch much NBA?

LOL ... and Sloan just went over 1,000 wins and is the longest-serving head coach in professional sports, too.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD block but Jazz ball

[GrandeDavid]

Silly ass touch foul on Bowen. Good call, btw.

[VaSpursFan]

great hustle by timmy

[GrandeDavid]

Spurs Brazil, coo vai, amigao?

[FromWayDowntown]

Timmy's just out of sorts right now.

[GrandeDavid]

Soft ass move to the rack by Duncan. :rolleyes

[VaSpursFan]

timmy is just pussying it up in the post....

[easjer]

Not a good start.

Figure it out, Spurs.

[FromWayDowntown]

Duncan's defensive presence is there right now.

[VaSpursFan]

good adjustment by the spurs with the double on williams...weak move by finley

[Spurologist]

Bowennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

333333333333333333333333333333333333

[FromWayDowntown]

Bowen.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 333333333333333333

[Darkwaters]

Bowen!!

[spursrocksocks]

bowened

[easjer]

All right, keep it going. Like the aggression on D. Too bad about the foul by FIn.

[Budkin]

5 blocks for Duncan

[CubanMustGo]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!

[FromWayDowntown]

Finley seems passive right now.

[easjer]

Let's just try to answer point for point, mkay?

[Budkin]

Good start to the quarter for us.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tudo bem grande, vamos ganhar

[Budkin]

WTF was that shit?

[jmard5]

Bowen's spot. Bowen's shot!

[FromWayDowntown]

Bowen doesn't need to create off the bounce.

[hitmanyr2k]

There's only so many times Bowen is going to get away with dribbling and shooting.

[VaSpursFan]

fucking bowen

[FromWayDowntown]

Another offensive board. Damn.

[Budkin]

FT fpr Boozer...

[easjer]

Ok, Bruce, that's only gonna work once.

Pull those boards down, stop tipping to the Jazz!

[Budkin]

Yeah Timmy

[CubanMustGo]

Get back on the boards and this game is ours.

[FromWayDowntown]

Better by Timmy -- move him out of the post and let him create from a spot where it'sw harder to double him.

[Budkin]

Fuck... last thing we need is a Memo 3

[easjer]

Shit. It looked so good for a second there.

[jmard5]

Jazz's offensive rebounds are killing us again.

[FromWayDowntown]

Nice catch by Fab.

[FromWayDowntown]

Timmy's a bit more aggressive -- still not enough.

[Darkwaters]

I absolutely love Oberto.

[Budkin]

Nice TP!!!

[SuperManu!!!]

Finally ball movement!

[spursrocksocks]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!

[Budkin]

Lucky miss by Memo

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I like that play with Duncan at the high post, driving the ball.

Parker's form looks horrible - talk to Chip, TP!

[FromWayDowntown]

Can't just leave Okur on the arc.

[Darkwaters]

Please do NOT let Okur heat up.

[jmard5]

Oberto with the off rbd. Good.

[Budkin]

Bullshit call... off AK

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bowen was nowhere near that - all AK.

[FromWayDowntown]

Great job by Javie to admit that he didn't see it.

[Cry Havoc]

LOL @ Duncan just standing there.

[Budkin]

Good reversal.

[jmard5]

Good two offensive rebounds fromthe last play ending with a Parker 20 footer.

[Spurologist]

Javie with the first correct call of his life

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Good conference. Didn't go within 2 ft of Bowen.

[Darkwaters]

Way to go refs. Good call.

[easjer]

Timmy! Fuck, dude.

[Budkin]

Brainfart by Timmy.

[GSH]

Okur holding Duncan's jersey while he comes out to challenge Parker. Two plays in a row. Gimme a break.

[SuperManu!!!]

At least the reffs made that up

[TampaDude]

WTF are they thinking??? SHOT CLOCK!!! TD had an easy 2 and he just sat there. :bang

[Spurs Brazil]

Look At The Damn Clock

[VaSpursFan]

fucking timmy with the brain fart

[ATXSPUR]

Poor awareness by duncan that time.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WTF Timmy???

[Cry Havoc]

Up 9. Let's make a push and put it away.

[easjer]

I hate late whistles. A lot.

[FromWayDowntown]

Boy -- tough call on Manu.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

How the fuck was that a foul!!!???

[easjer]

That was NOT a shooting foul.

[SuperManu!!!]

1 PF of the rim>?

[Budkin]

Keep it up boys...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

AK lost that off his own knee! :lol

Manu was well gone by the time he dropped it.

[angel_luv]

Hi guys! :)

[FromWayDowntown]

Spurs -1 in the quarter at the half way point.

[easjer]

They have GOT to score here sometimes. For grins, maybe.

[TampaDude]

Here comes the Jazz surge...gotta weather the storm...HOLD THAT LEAD!!!

[Budkin]

Travel by Fish.

[Spurologist]

great fucking defense by TP

[Budkin]

We need to hold these pricks off... Manu needs to start taking it to the basket.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great D. Need to trap their small ballhandlers, good idea.

Now if only we could get our O going...

[easjer]

Lots looking good, but they have got to hit their shots. Or get the rebounds. It's sort of an either or. Missing shots and shrugging isn't an option.

[dbreiden83080]

D is great if we could just get the damn ball in the hoop more for god's sake.

[jaespur21]

O what a job this is

[Budkin]

Agreed. we need to hit some baskets now.

[FromWayDowntown]

Manu is on pace to match his Game 3 output -- 2-6 from the floor, 1-3 from 3.

[hitmanyr2k]

great fucking defense by TP

That was more Oberto giving great help defense and forcing Fisher to pick up the dribble in the first place.

[jaespur21]

Oberto is doin an awesome job hedging on the screens and pushing the ballhandler out

[Duncanoypi]

spurs will make a run at the end of the 3rd...book it!

[easjer]

Come on, guys. Make it happen.

[fred33]

Ginobili Must Step Up

[FromWayDowntown]

Oberto is doin an awesome job hedging on the screens and pushing the ballhandler out

Oberto is doing a lot of things really well right now. If he can stay out of foul trouble, he can make a difference down the stretch of this game.

Manu is on pace to match his Game 3 output -- 2-6 from the floor, 1-3 from 3.

The SpursTalk correspondent on the spurs bench will relay this message to manu. Look for him to go off from the floor immediately

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It's MANU time.

C'mon Manu, work it out and take over the game - it's yours for the plucking, and we need your magic RIGHT NOW.

[Budkin]

Timmy got owned.

Observations so far:

1. The Jazz are a VERY GOOD basketball team.

2. Their arena is stunningly loud. I can see why they are undefeated at home in the playoffs.

3. The Spurs are not in foul trouble like they were in Game 3. That may just be the difference tonight.

4. If the Jazz take the lead, they will win.

5. Props to the refs for double-checking that out-of-bounds call.

[easjer]

Ok, that wasn't quite what I was thinking of.

[SuperManu!!!]

Duncan can't be such a pussy

[Budkin]

Ouch. Fuck here we go...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Uh-oh, that could be a momentum changer....

[hitmanyr2k]

It's MANU time.

C'mon Manu, work it out and take over the game - it's yours for the plucking, and we need your magic RIGHT NOW.

Some of you people seem to think Ginobili has the ball in his hands or something :lol

[CubanMustGo]

We need Fin

[easjer]

Shit.

They need to score. This isnot working.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We're cold as fuck.

Trouble time.

[FromWayDowntown]

Timmy's weak again.

[Budkin]

Way to man up Timmy.

[Admidave50]

Stupid from Duncan

[FromWayDowntown]

Got the score, still a weak move.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu has FISHER on him - get it there!

[easjer]

Ok. Got some space, now make it happen.

[FromWayDowntown]

AK misfiring.

[Budkin]

Whew... Jazz TO

[TampaDude]

Tim got owned...

Betcha he won't let that happen again!

[naico]

damn fuck you parker!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah just hurry the play when jazz are in a momentum

[Budkin]

Go Tim Go!!!

[FromWayDowntown]

Stronger move. He's going to make them bring that double again.

[Budkin]

Fucking FTs....

[easjer]

FTs come back to bite the ass again.

[Budkin]

Come on Timmy

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dammit, get it to Manu. Forget this 4-down bullshit. Side picknroll for Tim and Manu with Tim diving to the hole. Fark!!!

[FromWayDowntown]

Timmy seems to be lacking confidence right now.

[easjer]

Goddamn.

They've got to make that shit.

[Budkin]

Crowd is going bonkers... Jesus

[Budkin]

Jesus TP

[FromWayDowntown]

16-27 for Williams + Boozer

[easjer]

Stop fucking around, guys.

Shit.

Instead of looking at it, try rebounding it.

[SuperManu!!!]

Can we make a play for manu?

[Mr. Body]

Jazz hitting every fucking thing.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Can we run something for Manu? I'm tired of watching Parker and Duncan duel for whose nuts can shrink the fastest.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Man, Manu can't buy a cut to the rim to save his fucking life!! COME ON MANU!!!

[dbreiden83080]

Duncan is rattled and dare i say it he is not leading them to the win tonight it is going to have to be Tony.

[Admidave50]

What a lucky shot by Deron

GO SPURS GO

[milkyway21]

7 offensive rbds for the Jazz after halftime?

we made 4 3pters and we're only ahead by 3 pts.

watch out when Giricek starts to make 3s in the 4th

this is NOT good guys.

I THINK WE NEED MANU, now.

[Budkin]

Spurs are folding

[slayermin]

Fuck. Duncan got his shit blocked rowdy. Props to Boozer on that one.

[easjer]

This is pissing me off. They look confused by the Jazz playing well, as if that hasn't happened in the second half yet this series.


Just get it done and stop fucking around.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Self fucking destruct, jeeeeezus.

Why are we ignoring the matchups? Why are we forcing? We have the lead, keep your heads and stop choking like little bitches... :devil
