they saved themselves for the playoffs
they saved themselves for the playoffs
always under the radar!!!!!
real Spurs fans were never doubting. Concerned? Sure. Condemning this team? No way in .
Hate to rain on your parade but the Jazz are tanking to play the Rockets in the 1st round. Can't blame them.
The Jazz didn't want to play us or Phoenix, they came out planning on losing tonight.
I'm not saying the Spurs don't look sharp out there, but the Jazz just aren't playing with any sort of intensity or fire out there.
Yes, it's pretty clear the Jazz know they can just flip the switch for the playoffs.
It's absolutely crazy to think that the Jazz, the team with the biggest home court advantage of any team in the playoffs, would tank this game and go from having HCA to playing the 1st round without it. A Jerry Sloan coached team doesn't tank anyway, but definitely with how the Spurs have been playing of late. He pulled Williams in the 3rd because Williams had a prior injury that he wants to rest for the playoffs, but no way they wanted to lose this game and lose HCA.
Trust me the Jazz tanked this game bigtime. How can you blame them? I would take the Rockets without HCA ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. They just got done blowing out the Rockets by 20+ the other night and Rafer Alston is out with a hamstring injury for a week. The Rockets are ripe for the picking.
Anyone with half a brain can see that.
Of course if the Jazz were down 30 to the Lakers, or whoever the you act like you root for, it's b/c your team is kicking their ass and not b/c the Jazz are tanking.
As always, major weak from you
The Spurs would have won this game regardless of if the Jazz were tanking or not. Happy now?
The Suns got their wish...they got us ASAP.
Dude...you're on crack...NFW the Jazz wanted to be on the road in the first round...the Spurs slapped the Jazz tonight, plain and simple...BRING ON SNAQ AND THE SUNS!!!![]()
You better just worry about the Nuggets...we'll get to you guys eventually...![]()
Rather be facing the Nuggets than the Suns. They've straight owned the Spurs this year.
We did not tank. We got scared like little girls, played like little es and pretty much got our asses handed to us on a night where we intended to win the game. All our players did before this game was talk about how good they were feeling, how they were on the same page and what have you. I knew we were done three minutes in too. Not because we were tanking, but because we were scared. . I cannot believe we go into the playoffs with this taste in our mouths. .
UTA has owned the Rockets this season and in the prior playoff series. Trust me that was the matchup they wanted in the 1st round, especially with Rafer Alston being out with injury. They would be stupid to want to take on the championship Spurs who will be in playoff form over a limping and weak Rocket team. Take it as a complement man, the Jazz wanted no part of the Spurs in the 1st round.
I hate to sound y and , but I honestly thought this 3 games ago.
1. Spurs played really good the first half against several good teams and lost.... And Pop was all smiles during that .
2. Pop came out with that totally ed up lineup the other night that not even a bitter lakers fan could pick for the Spurs.... And he still was all smiles.
3. Manu played pretty good tonight for a supposed "major" groin injury.
The first round should be an exciting one! I'll be following the Spurs for sure when the Lakers aren't playing. Hopefully the Spurs/Suns match-up is entertaining (which I'm sure it will be) good luck Spurs!
They owned the Spurs this year, but not as good as the Cavaliers owned them the previous one, good for them, I wonder if they got a ring for that. Ah, no wait, the Spurs had a broom
...and on the road, too...ouch...
CIA Pop in full effect!![]()
