It's the first game of the Rodeo Road Trip. Basically, it's the first game of the real regular season for the Spurs.
The Jazz will be looking for some redemption after being eliminated last year. There should be a lot of emotion in Salt Lake City tonight. The Spurs will need to play a very good game to pull off a win.
Let's see what this team is made out of :hungry:
does anyone think Pop will have a surprise lineup?
Mahinmi starts over Oberto.Quote:

The Mahinmi era starts today. :smokin
... or not
utah for the win
Jazz are very good at home. But we will be pissed off still from the Hornets, so Spurs win.
Let's blow them out.
Well, I guess the chat will be down one.Quote:

I'm pretty nervous about this game, and the trip in general.
I agree with ludda, the Spurs will be pissed.
Duncan plays well when he's pissed.
I expect a physical, ugly game.
And a hard fought Spurs win to get this trip started the right way.

This is starting great.
Gotta love the turnovers. Woot.
Finleys on though.
Maybe get Finley some more shots? Just a thought.
where the hell were the rest of the spurs on that play. it was only Finley, parker and oberto. WTF?
relax, utah are like the only team that can consistently score over 50+ % and still lose.
No call. Bowen got all ball, and there was no body in it.
manu is gonna blow up if they keep booing
FFS START UDOKA. POP I am disappointed in you. wtf are you waiting for?
I didn't know they showed the scrimmages prior to the game...when does the real thing start? :lol
YET AGAIN TEH DEFENSE IS A JOKE. START UDOKA IF you're serious about defense and winning.
being down by double digits earl is not a surprise anymore
Yet ANOTHER early hole.
Spurs need to break this trend soon or they have no hope this year. Every bloody game they put themselves in a hole. :pctoss
Is anyone else with TW getting a jacked up screen right now.
Like I've been saying the defense of the starting 5 is a joke. We always let teams get out to big leads and they usually finish the first quarter shooting 50-60%. You gotta try something else in the starting 5. Give Udoka a shot. Finley will be good off the bench with Manu. No NEED for Michael to start.
Nice spin move by Ginobili. Nice to hear Salt Lake boo him :lol
Totally agree on the Udoka call. The guy needs to play 30 minutes a night, and I think he needs to start for the first few minutes, just to set the trend at both ends, then play with manu and the second unit.
does anyone have a link for this game please?
seriously, Timmy.... :huh
I guessed that we were going to lose this game considering that the Spurs just left and that the Jazz are playing really hot right now. And here we are in an early hole. Prove me wrong Spurs!
Spurs picking up right where they left off in the Hornets game.
Spurs always forget that every game starts with the first quarter... :(
It would sure help if Duncan quit turning it over.
and tony???? Damn tabloids! :lol
Geez...this is off to a sucky start.
Duncan = turnover machine lately
My U-verse is doing that. Black screen, only getting audio.Quote:

Parker sucking again
Udoka is a better rebounder and defender than Finley, and doesn't look for his own shot outside the system. Why isn't he starting? Maybe because Fin needs minutes to be effective at all? Maybe because the second unit needs a guy who can score besides Manu.
Look at that shite. IME.
53%Quote:

Ice009 - don't you have tabbed browsing? Just open the ESPN bax score in a tab.
Parker + Duncan = 5 turnovers!
utah's shooting 53.3%
Horry and Elson at the same time. wtf is Pop doing?
bout to find out what horry still has to offer
Horry, Elson and Vaughn. This is laughable.

Starting IME makes so much sense when the oppossing team finishes every first quarter shooting 60+ percent.
Manu!
Boos are waking Manu up!!! that's the only hope we got
Absolutely nothing... so far... this season...Quote:

I still believe in Horry but damn is it taking him a long time to get with it.
manu!
current line-up: Ime Udoka, Manu Ginobli and his two steal testicles.
Why do Jazz fans hate Manu so much?
They are dumb freaks anyway - don't they realise booing him just makes him clutcher? :lol
Yet another team with a lead plus a high shooting percentage after the first quarter. Does Pop have any clue on what he's doing?
Sean Elliot talking about the Mormon crowd: "They're mad at the world, they'll boo anything." :lmao
remember the days when we used to blow out every team by 30
1/4 from downtown. Same ol shit
this game is gonna go either of 2 ways:
manu monster game or Spurs get their asses kicked at a historic level
No. When was that?Quote:

Yup.Quote:

GO TO THE RACK!!!
LMAO Elson doing his worst impression of Olajuwon
The jump shooting is clearly a sign of being old and tired... it's gotta stop.
manu heard you ruff! :lol
Actually I don't ever remember that.Quote:

Not according to yahoo but they've been wrong sometimes. It's showing Richardson as being active.Quote:

This is finally the year we look old - if we could combine Horry/Bonner/Elson/Finley into ONE productive player things would be okay, but as it is we have four guys who are either cluless or look 50 years old most of the time...
Also, BRENT BARRY is sorely missed. I think deep in the playoffs this year relies on his health.
I think I saw Ian on the bench in street clothes
Looks like Manu is tired of losing.
Hey Angel, how's things? :)
Vaughn with 6? :wtf
Also, the age is showing in the inability to play a good 48 minutes.
Against the Hornets we were great for the first 30, then fell in a big bloody hole!
Starters are in the minus category
Every sub is in the plus category
WTF ?
Vaughn having a nice game. Udoka hitting some shots too.
where the stupid fucking Vaughn haters at?
Vaughn haters, you are wrong. He is doing his job. it is the starters who are letting the team down as a unit right now - Vaughn's rotation often gets us back in the game!
Spurs are hitting their jump shots, that's a good sign for the game.
At this point I don't care who gets it done.Quote:

Finley (3) and Udoka (3) our leading rebounders.

Vaughn is got his sights on starting spot. I would not bring Parker back this half
