Round 3, Game 4: Spurs vs Jazz Official Game Blog Thread

[FromWayDowntown]

4 Duncan turnovers -- officially -- and too much reluctance to adjust to the defense.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

They've got to figure out how to adjust. They are making it easy to defend - no ball movement, Tim continuing to leave the ball open for easy access. Defense isn't looking great either.

Yep, Pop and Tim are getting sucked into the black hole 4down set that the Lakers used to do the same to us.

I have to laugh at Pop. Last possession we came down there were THREE Utah players within two steps of Duncan, and we still post him up

WTF, run a pick and roll for God's sake.

Nice to see you friendly cats, too.

[VaSpursFan]

no more 15 foot post ups with duncan going middle...that's just stupid

[easjer]

Are they going to hit anything from outside?

[GSH]

When they bring a double team to Tim, the second man is coming over to make contact every time...not just to trap. As long as they aren't calling reach-ins, the ball is going to come loose and the Spurs are going to struggle.

[hitmanyr2k]

Williams is treating Bowen like a rental car.

[FromWayDowntown]

Just moving around the perimeter, looking for an opportunity to dump into Duncan. Not much offensive creativity right now.

[FromWayDowntown]

Utah goes zone. Finally a cutter.

[VaSpursFan]

wow...someone finally cuts when timmy is doubled

[FromWayDowntown]

Good aggressive drive by Parker.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great block TD!!!

[slayermin]

That's the Spurs team I know.

[duncan228]

Defense leads to offense.

[GSH]

Did Parker hit the pads any softer there than Nash did in the Semis? Nope.

[GrandeDavid]

Good aggressive drive by Parker.

It was a fast break. He'd better drive aggressively.

[easjer]

Things looking mildly better.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jazz fans, your team never commits a foul...

I hate fans who boo obvious fouls.

[Ocotillo]

Wassup Dave.

[GrandeDavid]

Booze will hit that mid range all in day. Damn.

[FromWayDowntown]

Boozer and Williams, 10-15 from the floor.

[easjer]

Spoke too soon.

[GrandeDavid]

Great D by the Spurs this half. Win this damn game physical ass game. Take it to their ing mouthes.

[VaSpursFan]

manu needs to attack the ing rim and quit with that step back jumper...wtf?!?!?!?!
