Pop is going to ride them like a 2-bit pony...Spurs gotta get pissed off and blow out the Jazz in Game 4.
WTF is Williams still in the game, anyway....serves them right if he is hurt.

when you are in ing foul trouble you can not play d
Spurs lost this game when:
Vaughn shoots an 18 foot jumper 20 seconds left on the shot clock with Duncan AND PARKER on the floor!!!!!!!!!!!! Pop tries this lineup of two point guards presumably to let vaughn stay on deron, and only for that defense, yet vaughn takes it upon himself to shoot an open and early jumper?
SILLLLYYYY
we beat ourselves. We just need to refocus for next game.
So they got screwed on the calls.
If they'd played remotely well in the second half, it would not have mattered. They weren't making most of their shots, they stopped being aggressive and their defense went to .
Good teams play through bad calls. They deserved to lose this one, and it shouldn't surprise anyone, given their history in the playoffs, their history when up 2-0, Utah's history at home, that they ed it tonight.
It's ok. Game 4 is the important one to win.
yeah this wasn't all the refs. Obviously they had a hand in it but we were crap. Duncan's foul trouble disrupted so much of the rhythm
thats the biggest crock of I've ever heard.
Duncan got his fifth foul and immediately D'ed up boozer, maybe even fouled him, it was like he was DARING the refs to call his sixth immediately after his fifth, but he got a block instead.
ah well, i'm sure amare felt the same way
nice win jazz! the next game should be very interesting because spurs are 0-9 in utah for post-season play and the jazz should have all the confidence in the world next game...but, spurs usually respond very well after getting their asses handed to them. i'd give a slight edge to the spurs in the next game, especially considering how the pugilist popped deron williams late in the 4th![]()
Is this Phoenix? Is this Dallas?
Who cares if the calls aren't falling our way. I hate seeing my favorite team cry about it, and I hate seeing our fans cry about it.
Suck it up and KILL THE in game 4.
Just trying to keep up with the Joneses. Err, Terrys.
Please let's not cry about the loss...you know the Spurs always seem to need a wake up call so now we have it. Spurs in 5 "GUARANTEED".
P.S. As one former NBA Player told me they make sure the rims are extra tight in Utah and they put extra air in the ball too. He hated playing in Utah.
I cannot think of anything that ranks closer to that Dallas series last season. I will never forget game 2. It changed the series completely.
Jazz wanted this game more tonight.
THANK YOU!!!! dont complain about the calls. calls dont make you lose by 20+ points.
oh, i'm not complaining, it didn't look bad to me, i was just noting that the spurs are living up to their new personae.
Not worried. Someone is getting a beat down in game 4.
No rhythm, barely any defense and Utah dictated the pace of the game. Spurs got outplayed.
Not going to happen in the next game though.
Sure the refs sucked ... but letting Boozer and Millsap get layup after ing layup on the screen-and-roll was the real killer. The Jazz also had an alarming number of transition layups in the 4th with Williams pushing it and our bigs not getting back fast enough.
We've seen this before ... just need to suck it up and come out swinging in game 4
Nice to see the mav roaches come out after a Spurs loss. Where these gots when the Spurs win?
Anyways back to the thread. It was a combination of bad calls and lack of hustle that made the Spurs lose.
Jazz had 2 consecutive games in the GS series--DWill out in 2 minutes with 2 fouls, DWill out in 59 SECONDS with two fouls...
Jazz fans don't blame...they're bitter a little, but you NEVER blame the refs. Most Spurs fans on this board seem to get that. But to those that don't, STFU. This is going to be a series about playing basketball. Let's enjoy it.
Officiating was very poor tonight but Spurs looked like they had mailed it in by midway through the 3rd. Better hope the calls are better for game 4.
It wouldn't have mattered if the refs called the game right down the middle. The Jazz wanted this one more and the Spurs were lethargic and completely lost all defensive containment in the 2nd half. No big deal, it happens. Welcome to the series Utah.
True dat...if it was close, you could complain about the refs, but the refs don't make you lose by 26 points...the Jazz were the better team tonight...congrats!![]()
Enjoy the win...it's the last one you're gonna get. Spurs in 5.
Don't worry, we are just pissed right now. There are plenty of reasons besides the refs that caused us to lose.
