Jazz Sunday Practice vs. Spurs No Practice

[MadDog73]

Last time the Spurs didn't practice after getting blown out in the playoffs was before Game 4 versus the Pistons.

Damn, timvp!

Sometimes, you just have to trust. Trust that Tim is motivated. Trust the Spurs can play better.

Look, I'm not saying the Spurs win "fer sure" tonight or anything, after all, this is still a must-win for Utah.

But I have to believe the Spurs learn from their mistakes.

Beat me to it. Time to put the house on the tonight.

They need the rest.

Utah has outworked the Spurs in all 3 games of this series. In games 1 and 2, we ran up a 17-18 pt lead and did enough in the 2nd half to prevent the Jazz from catching up. In game 3, we had a small lead in the 1st half and got blown away in the 2nd.

It might be that the Jazz's relative youth and energy levels have been too much for the Spurs to handle later in the game.

Or it might be that the Spurs haven't really had a typical 2nd half in this series. Games 1 and 2: they didn't have to do too much. Game 3: foul trouble limited Duncan, Bowen and Oberto's contribution. I want to see a 2nd half where there's lots to play for, and everyone gets enough minutes before commenting on the Spurs' late-game woes

.

Foul trouble...and Oberto had sprained his thumb and Finley injured too.

In either case, the Spurs need the rest more than the Jazz do

I agree. I think Game4 is a different story and they need the rest.
