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

If the Jazz don't take advantage of TD's absence, we deserve to lose. Credit to your D--we can't go on a run. We also cant get our ORebounds going. I still think we beat you guys, but we're not doing what we need to do...to be continued

Your team is horrible. How you beat the Warriors is beyond me. Lucky for you they were not hitting half court 3's

I can't believe the Jazz are doing so poorly (for them) on the boards.

i love jvg's commentary!!

[spursrocksocks]

hahahaah great flop

[resistanze]

LMFAO! Horry.

However, since the calls on Tim were legitimate, those things were completely within his control.

That's where he's got to realize that he may not get as many calls in Utah as he deserves (ie some Jazz fouling Tim may be noncalls in Utah).


Even Tim knew that he had committed a foul.

Wise teammate Michael Finley trying to rescue Tim from his foul.



We'll see what happens.


Tim needs to play more carefully and thoughtfully in the second half.

Not every legitimate foul is "within your control".

However, I agree that he has to adjust to the fact he will get nothing tonight.

I say we attack through the guards and make Timmy a role player tonight, have him rolling to the bucket and hitting the O boards.

and whats up with their ft's?? i mean i know utah might not be a superb ft shooting team but if they drop this game ft's will haunt them

[ShoogarBear]

I like JVG.

Spurs in 3-2 zone.

What I meant was that he has a shotblocker's mentality, he would block that shot 6/10 times (he did it over and over and over again in the Suns series, for eg), and you can't just turn off that instinct. He stops going after shots, he may as well stop playing.

I am a shotblocker myself, I know the mentality.

I am not a shotblocker, I am a point guard.

I know what you are saying, but I think you can see my point too.


Tim just has not had a good first half. He's one of the best players to ever play, but he isn't showing it right now. Tim usually comes back and has a strong second half after this kind of first half. It is tough to shut down Tim Duncan for an entire game and the Jazz don't have the team to do it. Maybe the Pistons because of Sheed, but probably not the Jazz.

Now Deron flop

[Admidave50]

Bull

That JVG is cracking me up tonight.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What utter BS.

The block-charge call is crap in today's NBA. They've runined the damn game.

[TampaDude]

Jazz making their run now...

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Admidave50]

Bad D by Horry! 2 consecutive bad plays on both end of the floor

[L.I.T]

Really Mark jackson? You think not having Duncan on the floor means someone else needs to score?

[Spurs Brazil]

2nd on TP

[TampaDude]

Jeebus...could we have any MORE ing gimme whistles for the Jazz???

[Solid D]

Spurs give up 5 points in 3 trips running that zone. So much for that. Now back to the man D.
