Spurs @ Jazz Game Thread - 4th April

[itzsoweezee]

Pop always does this shit... I don't blame him, especially tonight, they were beyond horrible all game long.

with 9 minutes in the game left? no.

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF with Sloan still playing the starters

We'll remember that shit

[circ]

spurs looking at the scoreboard and wondering the same thing wtf the score is 20+

[BIG z]

not that good? he's horrible. 1 or 2 passable games do not make up the absolute shit play he provides the other 90% of the time.


So what are you trying to say??

[Allanon]

This second Spurs unit is a turnover fest.

Hornets won tonight, Knicks choked late in the game...losers.

[spyder]

Is that also why they suck on the road???

I wasn't talking just about the Spurs...i said opponents

[milkyway21]

good thing about this loss if ever, is Utah will be 4th seed ahead of Phoenix and get home court advantage(which will be scary since Utah is dangerous at home but that's Phoenix's concern:D) and,

Spurs might be targeting the Rockets in the 1st round not the Mavs(?)

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

ugh sorry guys...... no more game threads started by me now :lol

Stupid Jazz........i hope they get taught a lesson. Even GK would have pulled his starters earlier

[ballhog]

Pop looks like a vessel is about to burst in his forehead. Jazz suck for playing starters and gunning 3's with 2 min left.

[Harry Callahan]

Utah gets to come to SA very soon. They are going to get hurt for putting starters in with 2 minutes left in the game. Total BS.

No wonder Utah has never won anything.

[T Park]

Don't look now, but Stoudamire has found his shooting stroke..

If the game is meaningless, you'll see the Same players play the 4th.

Ian Mahinmi probobly plays, along with Horry and Barry.

Other than that. doubt it.

[BIG z]

Don't look now, but Stoudamire has found his shooting stroke..

He makes one and you have a boner for him, what kind of a person are you...

The winning streak is ending.it stop at 8 in a row.

it's the nba, get over.

[ATXSPUR]

Damn...i can't believe my local CW station made me wait two and a half hours to see smackdown for THIS!!

And it's not like the game wasn't available on ESPN...

[T Park]

He makes one and you have a boner for him, what kind of a person are you...

He made about 3.

Im a fan of my team that likes to be positive, and look at the good things.

Go swing from the fucking shower rod if you don't like it junk breath.

Yeah that was totally adlibbed.

I was impressed.

[BIG z]

junk breath :lol


:clap

[loveforthegame]

Finley, Ginobli, and Oberto laid eggs. Bowen wasn't much better.

Parker and Duncan had nice lines but the Jazz played them really tough and it was hard for them to work through a lot of that physical play.

Kurt Thomas was the only positive I can think of.

The Spurs will get there chance in SA on the last day of the season.

They were due for a bad game, and it was one of those nights, alot of things wouldn't work.

No worries.

[TampaDude]

Oh fucking well...even if we had won, we'd still be the #2 seed because the Hornets won, too...

[SpurAddict561]

Why is 80% of this forum flip flop ass Spurs fans

one minute we're the greatest DYNASTY going for our 5th trophy

then the next, just because we lose to ONE OF THE BEST HOME RECORD TEAMS we're "shitty", "not going anywhere", and "weak"

get fuckin real...fuck all of you flip flop ass fans. Go root for another team, you whining bitches. You know who you are

Yup...nothing was going in for the Spurs...NOTHING...it was just one of those games...it's just one game...Spurs are still #2 seed in the West...no worries...

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

you guys think the 1 seed is getting out of reach?

i was hoping the spurs could get #1 coz im also hoping the nuggets steal 7th

[TampaDude]

ONE OF THE BEST HOME RECORD TEAMS

Actually, the Jazz have THE best home record in the NBA at 35-4.

[T Park]

Yup...nothing was going in for the Spurs...NOTHING...it was just one of those games...it's just one game...Spurs are still #2 seed in the West...no worries...


Yeah they have these games once about every 3 or 4 weeks.

It was coming and due after the last two games.

Plus it was a regular season game in Utah, so all of their no pressure studs would show up.

[SpurAddict561]

Fab looked nervous as hell, playing soft as shit...and we just couldn't get a call, period.

It's all good, I'm not worried.

[T Park]

you guys think the 1 seed is getting out of reach?

Out of reach? No.

Realistic? Not really.

Let the Hornets burn themselves out. Slide to 3rd, beat the Rockets in 4, wait for the winner of Lakers Mavericks.

I agree man, they bitch when we lose and dont even bother showing up on the game thread when we are winning.. continuous support.

[SpurAddict561]

no shit..I live for this

I watch when we're down 20 and I watch when we're up 20.

The only difference is my blood pressure.

[TampaDude]

Spurs are 32-6 at home, behind only Utah at 35-4 and Boston at 33-6...as long as SA has one of the top 4 seeds, they are good to go in the playoffs. Sure, it sucks to get blown out like that, but it's not that important in the grand scheme of things...remember, it was Utah in Utah...almost nobody fucking beats them in SLC during the regular season. Playoffs are a different story...Okur will choke as usual in the playoffs and Utah will go down in 5.

Spurs = 2008 NBA CHAMPIONS!!! :toast

[duncan228]

Well said.
I live for this too.
Good, bad, ugly... I'm here.

[SpurAddict561]

You know how Pop thinks, we killed the last two teams we played...completely KILLED them by a combined total of 45 points.

This is a good game for us, coming off that 8 game streak..it's a reality check that we still gotta keep the gas pressed.

Not that I'm excited we lost, but I can't be too mad knowing this.

[Budkin]

Jazz are happy with a regular season championship. We will fucking own them in the playoffs.

[TampaDude]

Yup...just like last year...if they make it that far...relax, folks...Spurs will be just fine...

[Cherry]

Playoff Picture (http://www.nba.com/statistics/playoff_picture.html)
scary :wow

[peskypesky]

tough loss after being so close at the half...i really thought the Spurs would come out with energy and determination in the second half. they didn't. why? i really wish i knew. but it is what it is, a regular season game. nothing to get too upset about.

but it does make me wish we had a Horry and Barry in uniform to help out.

[milkyway21]

Suns still have a better record so they'll have the home court advantage.


but they're seeded #5,right?


1 New Orleans Hornets 53 22
8 Denver Nuggets 46 29

2 San Antonio Spurs 52 24
7 Dallas Mavericks 47 28

3 Los Angeles Lakers 51 24
6 Houston Rockets 50 25

4 Utah Jazz 51 26
5 Phoenix Suns 50 25

[Cherry]

2 San Antonio Spurs 52 24
7 Dallas Mavericks 47 28

Oh Mama :devil

[T Park]

back to 2 out behind the Hornets.

[boutons_]

"Utah gets to come to SA very soon."

last game of the season, Pop may not play to win.

[Budkin]

Spurs will use the game film from this game as motivation, especially with that fuckface Sloan leaving all the starters in up 20.

[ducks]

Williams left the game in the first quarter to have his ankle re-taped. … Duncan and Parker were the only Spurs who scored in double figures. … The Jazz close the regular season April 16 at San Antonio, where they haven’t won since 1999. … The Spurs did not score for the final 2:04 of the second quarter.

[T Park]

Or maybe they will toss the gamefilm and come out and make a few shots on sunday....

[T Park]

Win the game sunday, then come out ready to freaking bust ass on wednesday night.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

i hope the jazz-suns stay where they are. I think the Suns could hand it to the Jazz.

[td4mvp21]

I don't think we should panic or anything. The Spurs were playing some damn good basketball last year in the WCF's and we lost by about this much to the Jazz in Utah. This loss doesn't mean shit, except standing wise. I'm disappointed we didn't win; the Spurs, however, relied too much on the officials and I really think that distracted them. The refs sucked total ass, I now know why Utah has their home record-it's because the refs don't call jack shit and they HACK and HACK and HACK. Jesus Christ, it was so frustrating watching the Spurs get hacked and there be no call. Despite that, we didn't make our open shots too much and we got outrebounded and blah blah blah. But yeah, the Spurs are fine. You can lose bad even when you've been playing fucking great. See: WCF's Game 3 Spurs vs. Jazz.

Baloney.

Hopefully they come out sunday with a bit of a chip on their shoulders.

yeah, I would hope so knucklehead.

[T Park]

Manu = manure

[td4mvp21]

Baloney.

That 4-1 series victory over the Jazz wasn't, bitch. Good luck beating us in San Antonio, I know the Jazz suck ass on the road.

[crc21209]

This loss sucks fucking ass but we did get blown out last year in the freakin' WCF's the one game we lost to the Jazz so we'll be fine, no worries. And the Spurs wouldnt get a fucking call even if they got run over by a bus tonight, and when you shoot 24-66 for 36.4% overall and 2-12 from 3 for 16.7% that shits not gonna cut it, we'll be fine.

[crc21209]

How the fuck do the Lakers clinch a playoff spot with their win and we still havent and we have the same record?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

How the fuck do the Lakers clinch a playoff spot with their win and we still havent and we have the same record?

The NBA television rights allow for big market teams to clinch a playoff berth 1 game earlier than small market teams. It's just how the rules are.

[crc21209]

lol. Well sucks that they lose like this but gotta suck it up. 6 games left:

@ Portland
Phoenix
Seattle
@ LA Lakers
@ Sacramento
Utah

I think they can go 5-1. Thoughts anyone?

[T Park]

I'd say they will be lucky to go 4-2.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I was jk crc, you did pose a good question though.

[ludda]

lol. Well sucks that they lose like this but gotta suck it up. 6 games left:

Maybe 4-2. I want revenge on the Sons though.

[BlackSwordsMan]

I love how pop gives up in the 4th.

[Girasuck]

I won't go into too much regarding the game because I know that wasn't the Spurs team that will be in the playoffs. I just want to comment on this because a few of you brought it up.

We have a history of blowing big 4th quarter leads at home. Just a couple weeks ago we let a 22 point 4th quarter lead get down to 3 against Charlotte's second team before we pulled away. The next game we had a big lead against the Clippers at home and we let them back into the game until we picked it up and pulled away. Last year we blew a 21 point 4th quarter lead at home against Seattle and ended up losing that game.

The last thing Sloan would do is show up the Spurs. I mean come on people...how stupid do you think he is? Lets see, I'm going to piss off the team that's owned us for the past 10 years by leaving the starters in the game for an extra 2 minutes. Sloan usually will keep the starters in the game until the under 3 minute timeout just like he did last night. There wasn't a starter on the floor after that timeout. Knowing our past history of blowing leads, it was the right thing for him to do.

Shouldn't you guys be a little more pissed at how your team played then at our coach who was supposedly rubbing it in by leaving the starters in the game for 2-3 minutes too long?

[balli]

Utah gets to come to SA very soon. They are going to get hurt for putting starters in with 2 minutes left in the game. Total BS.

No wonder Utah has never won anything.


You fucking faggot. Have you watched a Jazz game in the past 20 years? Sloan has a set rotation that ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, stays in. If you don't want your team to get blown out then they should play better, you fucking fagbot. This isn't some girls CYO league and the Spurs aren't entitled to never get blown out. Fuck the whole organization. Fans, Players. Pretty much everybody involved with the spurs besides popovich can suck my testicles. I'm so sick of your pompous and obtuse complaining. Get over it Spurs.

[BuzzerBeater]

Full hangover in effect, for our boys. With about 9 min. to go everyone here kept wanting Pop to reinsert the starters but it seemed like he wanted them to sit and watch Jazz starters play team ball, perform assists and lobs, fast breaks, stop and pop treys. If Pop wanted the starters to squirm real bad watching the opponent execute on a higher level, Sloan aided in that department, Pop, could you ask for anything more?
Anyways, the Jazz smelled blood when Euro-crowd hardened Fabs jittered away what was it, three gimme's in a row it seemed like. After the perimeter game was jilch as Finley, Bowen and Udoka took their extended coffee break, that's when the dam burst and tall timber clogged the lane, slowing down and minimizing Timmy's, Tony's and Manu's forays into the paint.
When one of your worst shines the best in the waning moments of the game well, that's when I gave up, as Stoudamire did what others couldn't do consistantly, not that his performance was great, just in comparison it stood out!

[TampaDude]

You talk way too much...that's probably why you keep choking on my semen as I shoot it down your throat...you have to relax if you want to swallow and not gag...

[adsl914889]

Go Spurs Go!!!!!

[balli]

you have to relax if you want to swallow and not gag...

I'm not a homo like you, so I don't need the advice, but I must say, it sounds like you're pretty knowledgable when it comes to sucking dick.

[seacall]

Wow...man...what a sorry ass spurs thread this one...

insults aside...as a spurs fan i totally agree with Jazz fans on this one...if you got a problem with another team leaving their starters in, hey, here's a radical suggestion:

!!!!!!!!!!!! play some fucking D !!!!!!!!!!!!

These are Professional Basketball Ball Players - not the pee-wees at your local YMCA...

If i were a coach...and i wuz up by twenty and getting close to the playoffs i'd do exactly what this mother fucker did...

leave my starters in so that i can practice some of the things i wanna practice and get good at in the best possible pracitice scenario i can envision: in a real game situation...against the world champions... a first rate squad i may see again...and while im doing it also gain a little more confidence for my guys...

naturally, Pop knows all this and pulls his aces out...but who gives a shit...its the same fucking team jersey and a good opportunity to get better in a real game situation where the team is kicking some ass...

spurs fans stop bitching, moaning, and crying...the focus should be anywhere but in this sorry ass thread...
