Game Thread: Spurs @ Jazz, 12/12/12

[Reck]

Lets not be down more than 7 points here please.

Too much to ask I guess.

[ace3g]

clean slate starting 2nd half

[BanditHiro]

lol utah last 10 points have been fastbreak points lol.

[Trainwreck2100]

ing just like the Houston game

[timvp]

It's not about giving up, it's about the content, we can win vs scrubs team playing bad games, doesn't bode well for the PO.

First half content in a December game?

[jestersmash]

I'm actually pretty pleased overall, tbh.

We've missed a bunch of point blank shots that were great looks. We've had a couple go in and out. Non-issue, tbh.

I mean we can certainly do better, but Utah is in over its head come 2nd half, tbh.

[dbestpro]

Keep Blair on the bench and we got this.

[BatManu20]

The issues we're having tonight are the same issues that are going to make us a 2nd round exit in the playoffs this year (don't shoot)

[WeNeedLength]

Not sure if I should get less sleep because of this game. Effort doesn't seem there so...

[AussieFanKurt]

will still win

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

the blair situation is quite tough. if you bench him cuz he sucks, he'll suck worse. however, if you keep him in the starting line-up, there is a good chance that he still will suck

[024]

needs more splittler, less blair

[spurraider21]

Timmy really cooled down near the end. Blair getting more minutes than Splitter also pretty disgusting to watch

[Floyd Pacquiao]

mormons just playing harder right now tbh

[AussieFanKurt]

patty cheerleader

[ElNono]

they're just playing harder than we are... not uncommon when they're home

[Paranoid Pop]

First half content in a December game?

Not like the roster changed a lot, same shortcomings...

[Boomersgold]

Duncan's keeping us in the game.

Wouldn't mind seeing some Patty in the next half.

[jestersmash]

I hope Pop doesn't give Blair any minutes in the 2nd half, though. He hasn't earned a single second.

Boris had wide, wide open looks (albeit from 3) that didn't go. Nando had a couple of great looks from 3 that didn't go. Green had a layup bounce in and out of the rim.

And our defense is actually passable. Aren't we keeping them below 1 point per possession so far? That's about our average - good for top 5 or 6 in the league.

The solution is to let him suck somewhere else.

[spurraider21]

Utah is 8-1 at home, and were 25-8 at home last season. They're just a different team in Salt Lake. Fortunately for us, they're also a different team in the playoffs

[Splits]

Transition D was awful. they even scored in transition off a Spurs make. Pathetic.

[keywester]

Has Pop given up on Mills?

[Darius Bieber]

[timtonymanu]

Gotta love SpursTalk using this game to indicate what our playoff success is going to be.
