The Jazz came out how they HAD to. If they came out any other way, they'd be down by 30 now. The Spurs on the other hand did their usual act..not coming out strong enough against a team they think is an easy win.
Sheesh, you people get awfully defensive. Could it be because the Spurs are struggling against a team they should be stepping all over? I guess I'll do what everyone else is doing and leave it at the Spurs having a bad night and it's no big deal that they lose. I mean, it's just one game. They don't add the loss column up anyway, do they?

+ there's always that motivation of beating the favorite
Manu takes it hard to basket. Fouled and hits 2 FTs. 44-45
Snyder stepback long 2 from left side over Bowen. good.
Parker wide open set shot from left corner, no good o/b
Giricek TO. Parker with strong move to hole and reach in by Giricek and McCleod. 1 of 2 FTs by Parker.
Rasho blocks Snyder but Boozer tips in.
Rasho misses 1 inch shotDUnk it RASHO!!!!!!
Manu apparently in & hit for 2 FTs at beginning of 2nd half = No worries, only down 1 but gave up a jumper other side. Back to 3.
Another turnover that is the key to deficit so far according to Spur announcer and Spurs few assists and no fast break points.
Back to 2 with Parker 1-2 on FTS - wish he could hit his FTs like almost any other PG. Offensive rebound Jazz back up to 4. Rasho misses stupid layup should have slammed = this really sucks. Jazz probably going up 6 with McCleod to line for two.
Down 6 time to turn it up Spurs - this beginning to really stink!

FTs by McCleod. 45-51. Pop calls 4-Down at elbow. Duncan fouled by Boozer.
Duncan on block, 4-down play, goes up leaner good and 1 foul on Boozer. FT good.
48-51.
Kind of a softie at that, isn't he?Rasho blocks Snyder but Boozer tips in.
Rasho misses 1 inch shot
Giricek in lane leaner no good, Okur rebound - Giricek jumper rt. wing good.
Duncan shot good. 16 points for Timmy. 50-53.
McCleod confident jumper from left wing good.
Manu athletic elastic move around screen in lane 8 footer good.
52-55.
I guess popavich will be pissed about their defense, or the lack therof, AGAIN.
Duncan hits big shot and gets Boozer for foul and can make it a 3 pointer - this could be a turning point = Good. 3 point play and Duncan with 14 or so.
Another damm offensive rebound otherside, and a jumper = Jazz with hustle play and up 5 again, Duncan is heating up cuts it to 3 = 53 to 50. Seems he has come to play. McCleod hits on other side. Spurs scoring NOW get some stops down 3 s/p Parker shot.
Someone take over commentary have to do some work on a research paper working on!

The Spurs pathetic defensive effort won't allow them to get any closer than 3 points so far. Jeez...sooner or later you would think the Spurs would play SOME defense.
Spurs in zone. Passing around by Jazz and then Giricek penetrates quickly to split defenders for layup.
Parker fouled 2 FTS. 54-57.
6;53 left in 3rd.
Parker and Tim switch. Tim gives McCleod space jumper from left wing swish.
Bowen good, from Tim.
Giricek long jumper over Bowen good. Parker quickly back on backdoor pass from Gino, layup good. 58-61. Not much defense by Jazz last few trips and Jazz are breaking the zone bigtime with long range bombs.
Spurs have hit 5 of 7 in quarter so far. Spurs 7 of 10.
Barry and Horry in. Parker steps, reverse pivot layup good over Lopez.
Humphries around Horry and help late, dunk.
Parker fouled, misses 1 of 2 FTs
The Spurs within TWO!!!!! Nevermind..jazz scored....65-61
wtf's wrong with Tony? he's barely managing to walk of the floor for at a timeout? he's got absolutely no gas.
there's so much wrong with this game, I don't know where to start, check yourself here, 3rd qtr 5:21 left.:

outrebounded, outshot, the offense sucks, out ASTed,
Utah 50% FG? we're toast. come on guys!
Bruce For Three!!! 66-67
Spurs back to man D. Okur throws up miracle shot 17 footer over Tim from left side as buzzer going off fadeaway wrong foot, swish. One of those nights.
Giricek fouls Bowen in corner. Bowen 1 of 2 but Rasho hustles and tips ball out for Parker long range jumper good!!! 63-65.
Eisley falling out of bounds, incredible shot good!!!
Parker penetrates kicks to Bowen at rt. wing, three!!!!!!!!
Okur fouled on baseline jumper on upfake by Rasho. Timeout 66-67.
Who knew the .314 Jazz at 11-24 would prove to be such a PROBLEM for the 28-7 Spurs?? Spurs defense could be a reason, huh?
This is going down to the wire. I predict Spurs lose by 1.
........Followed by Rasho with the shootng foul
Bruce Bowen is owning this game. He and Tim are the only ones that seem to be fired up for this one, and you can see Bruce trying to get guys into the act.
If we pull this win out, it's because of one certain Player of the Month.
They probably NEED to lose at this point. After barely winning against the Nuggets you would think they would have more fire. Obviously NOT.
Spurs have upped the D pressure but the Jazz are hitting incredible off-balance jumpshots from beyond 15 feet. The momentum is swinging ever so slightly.
