Spurs vs. Jazz - Dec. 7 Game Blog

[timvp]

Tim Duncan likely is going to sit out this game. And really, the Spurs without Duncan match up worse against the Jazz than they do the Mavs. The Jazz are much more physical and they are capable of hurting the Spurs on the inside with Duncan out.

Without Duncan, I'd be really impressed with a win. The most likely scenario is the Spurs have an emotional and physical let down after the grueling game against the Mavs. Then again, this Spurs team seems to have a lot of heart so you never know.

Believe.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

All I will say is we can't always expect Manu to post 37 points, so Finley, Barry, Oberto all better chip in considerably for us to pull another win without Tim. Without a decent replacement for Duncan, Pop is going small ball again, and Utah has enough muscle to cram that ball down our throats.

Without Tim to anchor the D, we better shoot lights out on this one, and we better do it right from the start. Not like we did against the Mavs, where it took us a whole quarter to get things going.

[BonnerDynasty]

It'll take a lot of heart to win this game tonight.

Still very excited about this game.

[ArgSpursFan.]

We need Manu on this game more tham what we needed him vs the Mavs. coze we know coach Sloan will try to break our D by playing alot of low post plays,so we need to score,score and score again to win this one.
Please Manu!!! just one more awsome game until Tim comes back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[themvp]

Spurs are confident now, this should be a great game. With approach as they played Dallas they have great chances! I hope we'll see Super Manu again tonight :hat

[T Park]

I think Barry bounces back.

I think Elson suprises and gets more than 2 rebounds.

I think Parker has a good game.

I think Bowen scores more than 0.

Spurs lose by 4 though in the 4th when they totally run out of gas.


Heres to hoping POp actually lets udoka and Horry play tonight.

[thispego]

so uhhh, how is Manu's finger and Tony's ankle?

[ArgSpursFan.]

so uhhh, how is Manu's finger and Tony's ankle?

both good to go.

[SouthernFried]

Let the bench (and Horry) see what they can do. Manu and Parker don't need to kill themeselves trying to win this one, imho.

[BeerIsGood!]

Horry's just rounding into game shape but still should get 15 min or so.

[Budkin]

Not sure what to think of this game but I have my company xmas party tonight so I won't get to see it. Good luck Spurs!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The game starts in about 2 hours 10 mins, correct?

Thanks.

The other day I was an hour late - forgot that ESPN post game time in ET, not central. :rolleyes

The game starts in about 2 hours 10 mins, correct?

[loveforthegame]

We need contributions from everyone to beat this Jazz team. Everyone must rebound and match the physical play of Utah. Ginobli and Parker will bring it, hopefully Finley can have a good shooting night b2b, with Barry and Bowen bouncing back as well.

Go Spurs!!

Spurs Notebook: Parker rests his ankle

Web Posted: 12/06/2007 10:53 PM CST

Mike Monroe
Express-News staff writer

Add Tony Parker to the Spurs' list of key players teetering on the brink of the inactive list.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Parker suffered a mild ankle sprain last week. While the All-Star point guard is not expected to miss any game action, he won't be participating in full practice sessions anytime soon.

Popovich said All-Star forward Tim Duncan is doubtful for tonight's game at the AT&T Center against the Utah Jazz because of his sprained right ankle. He probably will return to action Tuesday against Golden State.

Like Parker, Manu Ginobili was held out of Thursday's practice because of lingering soreness in his left hand, the result of a fall in the Spurs' game against Portland on Sunday.

"Both (Ginobili and Parker) did a lot of recovery stuff," Popovich said. "Tony went right to rehab. His ankle has been bothering him. He tweaked an ankle a while back and he's been real sore. He'll be fine for the game (tonight), but we kept him off it (Thursday).

"Manu just stretched and got in the pool and did some recovery kind of stuff. He's played a lot of games and been banged around pretty good. That's his style of play, and he'll play (tonight)."

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Elson > Boozer :lol :smokin

Elson - 15/12
Boozer - 10/9

Come on Spurs, smash those Jazz

[milkyway21]

it's nice to see the blog up in the 1st page again. (not that Scola thing) :lmao

[Bruno]

Spurs starting lineup : Parker/Finley/Bowen/Bonner/Elson

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

:hungry: GO SPURS :clap

[Bruno]

And Bonner needs to play better. He can't continue to be a defensive liability while he has one year with Spurs. Horry is coming back and he needs to show something better before Horry takes his playtime.
If he doesn't improve his defense, I wouldn't be surprised to see him traded before the deadline. Spurs usually don't keep dead weight. He can't be traded before December 15th but after that, he could be on the trading block.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Spurs starting lineup : Parker/Finley/Bowen/Bonner/Elson
:wtf Awkward.

[Bruno]

:wtf Awkward.

Pop does his starting lineup using the random rule now :

December 07, 2007
Jeff McDonald: The Random Lineup Generator

Gregg Popovich just revealed the starting lineup for the Spurs' Tim Duncan-less game tonight against Utah. He swears he didn't select it randomly out of a hat.

G -- Tony Parker
G -- Michael Finley
F -- Bruce Bowen
F -- Matt Bonner
C -- Francisco Elson

No, none of the above is a misprint. Yes, Matt Bonner is starting. No, it's not just because his dad is visiting from New Hampshire.

A few items of note: Finley returns to his starting role after ceding it to Manu Ginobili last game. Ginobili returns to the role of Superman off the bench. Maybe if he had scored 40 against the Mavericks, instead of his paltry 37, he could have remained a starter.

Bonner earns the first start of his Spurs career. It only comes in place of Duncan, the Spurs' nine-time All-Star, who will miss his second straight game with a sprained ankle.

"He's going to make everybody forget about Timmy," Popovich said with a hearty laugh.

We must say, we never saw this lineup coming. At least Popovich's random lineup generator allows Bowen to continue his league-best string of 455 consecutive starts.

[Sweetey]

And Bonner needs to play better. He can't continue to be a defensive liability while he has one year with Spurs. Horry is coming back and he needs to show something better before Horry takes his playtime.
If he doesn't improve his defense, I wouldn't be surprised to see him traded before the deadline. Spurs usually don't keep dead weight. He can't be traded before December 15th but after that, he could be on the trading block.
Bonner will step up tonight.

[mystargtr34]

Bonner will take Boozer apart


I couldnt even keep a straight face typing that

[Sweetey]

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h258/jlo49/GOSpurs.gif Let's go Red Rocket ! http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h258/jlo49/GOSpurs.gif

Show us whatcha got baby !!

[Spurologist]

Matt Bonner is indeed starting. I had to see him on the court to be absolutely sure.

[themvp]

Go Spurs Go!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 3333333333333333

[some_user86]

Bonner with a 3!

[Spurologist]

Bonnnnnnerrrrrrrrrrrrr 33333333333333333333333

[some_user86]

Bonner drew an offensive foul?

[themvp]

Bonner!!

[Spurologist]

Finnnnnnnnnnnnnn 3333333333333333333333333

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 3333333333333333333

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TP!!

[Nashfan]

Parker doesn't look good on defense without Duncan.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp J!

[Spurologist]

TP with a nice open deuce from outside

[some_user86]

Interesting... Elson on Boozer and Bonner on Okur

[Nashfan]

Though Parker looks good on offense no matter what. :lol

[some_user86]

Damn. Boozer is raping Elson

[Spurs Brazil]

Terrible D so far

[Tek_XX]

Damn. Boozer is raping Elson

errrr bonner

[Spurologist]

Did Bonner even move on that last defensive play.

Horrible D

[some_user86]

errrr bonner

No, I see Elson guarding Boozer and Bonner guarding Okur on most of the possessions so far.

[BeerIsGood!]

Bonner and Elson suck so bad on D - we better hope the Spurs light the shit out of these guys because both Bonner and Elson brought their pussies to tonights game. Fuck it, get Oberto in there - at least he'll bang around and won't let Okur's weak ass rape him for a dunk.

[Spurs Brazil]

Awful D Bonner

[Tek_XX]

No, I see Elson guarding Boozer and Bonner guarding Okur on most of the possessions so far.

Either way both can't guard him.

[themvp]

Horry >>> Bonner come on!

[mystargtr34]

Wow Elson... is perhaps the worst Defensive big man i can remember seeing... i havent seen him make one correct defensive rotation in the last 2 games.

And someone take out the concrete from Bonner's shoes.

[Tek_XX]

Looks like the Dallas game.

[themvp]

Manu is in to do wonders again.

[objective]

the offense is nothing but jumpshots because no one has a post game with Duncan out.

The defense is worse than usual.

The Jazz are a better, maybe much better, team than last year.

Monster blow out.

[Tek_XX]

Bonner

3 million dollars.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Man, this is going to be a long, LONG night

[Spurologist]

:pctoss

[CubanMustGo]

Utah the fricking layup drill - start fouling someone HARD!

[some_user86]

Oberto playing better D on Boozer.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

man, williams has TP's number

[m33p0]

at least it ain't the suns, otherwise i'd be really pissed

[MaNuMaNiAc]

COME ON!!! Oberto needs to make those!!

[koopa]

williams is raping parker

[hitmanyr2k]

Williams is abusing the hell out of Parker.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

TP is getting murdered by their PG

[Tek_XX]

Williams making Parker look stupid

[boutons_]

Jizz gonna shoot 76% all night in Spurs gym?

[Tek_XX]

I guess Duncan is important.

[Nashfan]

Parker isn't any better of a defender than Nash without Duncan in your lineup.

[CubanMustGo]

Jizz gonna shoot 76% all night in Spurs gym?

Until we start rotating on D so three of every four shots isn't a layup, yes

[mystargtr34]

Wow this is brutal.... i guess we miss Timmy just a little on Defense.

Manu hasnt gotten into the game yet... and Bowen needs to be moved on Deron and hide TP on Kirilenko.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Hand the baton to Manu.. he just needs to figure out the defense, and then tear them up.

[slayermin]

Deron Williams is a baller.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Our whole D is SHIT without Tim. It just doesn't work.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

The guy is 5-5 and trust me TP is really trying to defend him, he's hot tonight and looks powerful. Tough job for TP. I assume at this point Pop will send Bowen on Williams to pester him a little bit. Expect changes on assignments.

[some_user86]

Jizz gonna shoot 76% all night in Spurs gym?

Better than them shooting 10 of 11 (what they did to start off the game).

[Spurologist]

It might be time for pop to put that Bowen on Williams - permanently

[slayermin]

Bullshit!

[Tek_XX]

hahahahaha pop said Bullshit

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Pop showing why mic'n the coaches is a bad idea

[MaNuMaNiAc]

:lol Pop doesn't seem to mind the mic

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Horry is in

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Was pop mic' up on that one

"That's Bullshit!!"

[some_user86]

Ha! You didn't need the new mikes to hear Pop yell "Bullshit!" ever so clearly.

[Manu20]

Did anyone else heard pop yell thats bullshit. :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol Popovich yelling BULLSHIT

[pawe]

there you go with your mic thing! Nice one pop!

[SpurOutofTownFan]

:lol Pop doesn't seem to mind the mic

It's Pops way to tell the NBA it wasn't a good idea.

[Tek_XX]

I think it was the Camera that picked up Pop and his Bullshit comment.

[Manu20]

Spurs are lucky to be down by only 8.

[slayermin]

Pop looks ornery tonight. I feel bad for the sideline reporter that has to interview him.

:lol I take it back. I want to see that shit.

[carina_gino20]

:lol

[themvp]

Spurs are lucky to be down by only 8.


True. There is an opportunity.

[mystargtr34]

Bullshit!

You could see Sean laughing in the background

[m33p0]

so long as we keep it within range, we can count on the guys to make a big push towards the end of the game for a chance to win it. most likely, in the third quarter again.
:cheer

[Spurologist]

I think it was the Camera that picked up Pop and his Bullshit comment.

The sound should be much better when they play it in the half time mic segment

[batboy]

Popp's mic is going to be fun tonight.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Our whole D is SHIT without Tim. It just doesn't work.
Horry will shoulder the load. He'll make up for Bonner

[mystargtr34]

TP will come out in the secong and make Deron his bitch... Deron has as little chance at guarding TP as the other way around... atack attack and attack... no shotblockers there... if Kirilenko comes over Bowen is open for the three

[Spurologist]

These end of first quarter interviews seem very odd to me

[MaNuMaNiAc]

TP better score like his life depended on it to offset William's production. Otherwise we're losing this one. TP isn't stoping Williams tonight

[Spurologist]

Barrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyy 333333333333333333333

[Spurs Brazil]

Barry 3333333333333333

Pop is gonna make Stacie cry if she doesn't ask him a relevant question.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Pop is gonna make Stacie cry if she doesn't ask him a relevant question.
:lol

[m33p0]

could someone keep a tab on the number of profanities heard through the mic? i'm stuck with schoening.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Pop is gonna make Stacie cry if she doesn't ask him a relevant question.

Lol that's a good one

[mystargtr34]

LOL at the Coyote

[MaNuMaNiAc]

:lol @ Manu drawing the foul. It never fails

[Avitus1]

Coyote is great.

[koopa]

damn i've been watching the game on fsnsw to hear sean elliot call the game, i forgot on espn pop has a mic.........what to?? listen to pop cuss, or listen to the best commentator in the league??........wait fuck that, i'd rather stab my ears than hear hubie brown

this game is pretty much over, we beat the mavs cause they have no legit low post scorers, boozer is gonna go off on us soon..........and williams is raping parker, and bowen wouldn't help that, cause williams owns him too, just watch the western conference finals..... plus this shows how important tim is to us, without him our defense is garbage, bowen is a good defender cause he has tim right behind him to back him up.......

[Tek_XX]

Is Horry retired? Dude is invisable out there.

[CubanMustGo]

Utah double and triple teaming Manu and TP every time they start to drive .. someone else needs to start hitting shots!

[~Sweetmelody~]

Could someone give me the score? I am at work and I can't access any boxscore from here. Thanks in advance.

[koopa]

horry is a bum in the regular season, no point in him even being activated cause he doesn't take it serious

[some_user86]

Is Horry retired? Dude is invisable out there.

I don't know. It seems to me he and Oberto are the prime reasons why are defense has settled somewhat.

[duncan228]

I guess Duncan is important.

Understatement. To say the least.

No kidding. We don't learn anything more than what we can get from simple lip-reading and watching emotion and body language.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I can't believe we are still hanging there on this game. Manu is coming back after this timeout to go craz-o on them. With the skyhook we got now the low post player we need at 6-6

[MaNuMaNiAc]

the censoring going on sort of defeats the purpose of micing up the players

Yeah

I'm sure the dumber players might be amusing...but I agree I'd hate it if I were the players/coaches. Intrusive.

Good.

Now, maybe the one that is hurting is Tony.

Yay For Manu 3!

[Tek_XX]

Parker is one of the worst guys I've ever seen at running a fast break. He reminds me so much of Damon Stoudamire in not letting something develop.

Yeah well your sorry ass wishes you had him on the cows.

just logged in.

hey I thought TP is not playing tonight?

:flag:


I posted an article on page one, if you want to read it...but they said he didn't practice much prior to the game, mostly rehab...but that he'd be playing.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

These Jazz guys really show a lot of respect for the Spurs.

[Slippy]

Not much of an inside presese for the Spurs on both ends.. Missing Tim big-time.

I wouldn't go that far.
He's usually good at finishing, but he tries to win the race to basket a little too much rather than reading the best way to convert.

Manu's usually the most effective on fastbreaks.

Anyway, IMO Vaughn is the worst guy I've seen running a fast break. Not Tony.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I like watching Cisco's face when he does something wrong, looks over to the bench and Pop is staring at him with his laser glance. "Damn Pop is staring at me now!"

We're keeping it close. But yeah

[hitmanyr2k]

Yeah well your sorry ass wishes you had him on the cows.

I don't favor shoot-first PGs. Never have.

[J.T.]

Manu with two FTs, 45-43 Jazz.

[Spurs Brazil]

Man, Manu can't be stopped. They have no way.

[CubanMustGo]

Manu heard you. And one.

[koopa]

i love watching manu

51-49 with manu at the line for an and 1 attempt

[some_user86]

Wow, good job swarming Boozer

[Leetonidas]

The Spurs look like they wanna prove they can win without Timmy.

[J.T.]

Manu's going to bust his career high (41) tonight.

[Spurologist]

Bowen has officially domesticated Williams

Williams admitting to being OWNED by Bowen. :lol

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I'm telling you - if we are to win this game tonight, they can't score 51 points in the second half again. We need to put the clamps defensively. We know they have no way to stop Manu but we need Parker to wake up.

[SpursFanFirst]

going into the half, 51-50, Utah

[some_user86]

Oh, man. My heart stopped for a second. I wish Manu would've made that three.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Wow manu was open there.

[Dre_7]

Manu's going to bust his career high (41) tonight.

His career high is 48 actually.
