Game Blog: Spurs vs Jazz -- Game 2 (May 2, 6 PM CST)

[timvp]

yeah, had the same thought after he was not able to score over Jax ... many here were high on him on draft night, were they not?

Third overall pick.

[100%duncan]

Starters 30+ each. Diaw with a +41

[GSH]

LOL at Neal standing next to the bucket as time ran out. I was sitting there thinking, "Don't do it, Gary... don't do it."

[timtonymanu]

We're certainly doing this a lot easier than OKC are - they're really struggling against the Mavs. Then again, the Mavs are much more dangerous than the Jazz.

Even so, I haven't been impressed with OKC. Lakers will beat them next round, IMO.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

True. We will only win by 13 each next round.

I think we'll beat either the Grizz or the Clips, but they'll both make it tough. Strong teams that peaked at the right time like we did.

[Brazil]

We win!

and manu is well rested

[Fireball]

Third overall pick.

I know that ... but I thought Spurs fans had the crazy idea trading pieces to get him ...

[timvp]

I love blowout playoff wins, tbh.

I haven't been impressed with them either, but I think the baptism of fire they're going through could help them, and they're a nightmare matchup for the Fakers. I think we'll see OKC in the WCF, and it will be an intriguing series. OKC's home court is big - those fans are rabid! Glad we got the 1-seed.

if shots aint falling for our shooters, hopefully they attack the rim and get to the ft line to get extra touches to warm up....kl and green better learn some from jax mix tape of the last game when shots aint falling, we cant afford to have both of them being passive on offense....

:d

23-2 in the last 25, with one of those losses a forfeit in Utah who we're destroying when it matters. This team is hot as fuggin . What's the best ever record in the playoffs for a championship team? This team is so good, we could seek it out.

Only the media doesn't ,tbh.

[kjhip1]

I honestly think if we face the Clips, it'll go 5 games.I like Chris Paul, but too much inexperience on that team to make it compe ive..Lakers look good but they're going up against a team that has no point guard play...Spurs look good early on!

[GSH]

The Jazz went to the FT line 23 times vs just 10 for the Spurs. The refs screwed us.

[100%duncan]

The problem: When will I stop being a ?

[Stringer_Bell]

I have no idea why people are celebrating this win...the Jazz scored 30 pts in the 4th qtr, outscoring us too. That's unacceptable. Might as well count this as a loss.

I don't care if the Spurs win by 40 next game, they can't allow the Jazz to win a single qtr or score more than 25 in a qtr. Pop better rip some heads off in the locker room for this...this disgusting metaphorical loss!

The problem: Will we beat the Lakers?

With the new and improved big rotation I don't see why not barring injuries.

[Splits]

Maybe Pop and the big 3 should stay in San Antonio for the next two games and rest up. Maybe go to Utah and practice and then fly home. Gotta keep guys fresh and avoid injuries until the playoffs start.

The problem: Will we beat the Lakers?

Will they beat the Thunder?

I hope the jazz bring the fight in game 3. I'm concerned, starting at the end of the season, that things have come too easy. The young guys need to experience what playoff intensity feels like. Hopefully they get a taste this series and not against tougher foes as the first time.

[timtonymanu]

Devin Harris, btw.

[Obstructed_View]

Sat down to watch the pregame at 5:30, and got "channel unavailable" on TNT and NBATV. Finally at 6:03 after calls to Verizon and reconnecting everything on my system it suddenly came back up. FAAAAAAAACKKK. Spurs by 37.


Jazz 87
Spurs 124

Not bad.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Amazing full-out slaughter win. All Spurs have to do now is win Game 3 on Utah to take a 3-0 lead and icing is on the cake and the series is ours.
