PrintSan Antonio Spurs at Utah Jazz, Feb 20, 2012 7:00 PM MST
Tonight the San Antonio Spurs play the Utah Jazz, in our gym. The Spurs are a wrecking ball right now, they have won 10 straight games, and in that stretch, 7 of them have been road games. They've also won 12 of the last 14. They're hot. Can we cool them down?
The Game:
This is our second meeting against the Spurs this year. The first one was waaay back in our fourth game of the season. We lost, and it wasn't even close. This time it's in our gym, and the second night of a b2b for us.
Starters:
| San Antonio | Utah | |
| Spurs | @ | Jazz |
| Tim Duncan | C | Al Jefferson |
| DeJuan Blair | PF | Paul Millsap |
| Richard Jefferson | SF | Gordon Hayward |
| Danny Green | SG | Raja Bell * |
| Tony Parker | PG | Devin Harris |
Injuries:
- T.J. Ford (Spurs) is out
- Manu Ginobili (Spurs) is out
- Tiago Splitter (Spurs) is out
- Raja Bell (Jazz) may be out. If he is, Josh Howard will start

Really? Howard will start?
I’d rather anyone start instead of him, even if it means sap playing 3 or harris playing two. He is beyond selfish and his shot is still off.
Well, all in all, the Spurs are due for a loss soon, and being without Splitter and Manu, combined with this being at home certainly gives us a legitimate chance to win. I’d like it more if Raja was playing, because lord knows no one else on this team can hit a three if the clocks not about to expire.
Utah>*
I don't know why we haven't seen Millsap at the 3 at all this season.
That was something I was really looking forward to seeing.
trade bait?
..or are the Jazz looking to showcase him for a trade?
Raja out and DeMarre active tonight.
Maybe (hopefully) Josh will get hurt again so we can see what DeMarre is all about.
DeMarre is all about winning.

You better believe i cut short a trip to Vegas and left earlier this morning so I'd be home for the game...
I missed the last two GT’s…. No way that was going to extend to three!

I think the Jazz win this.
And I am a notorious Debbie Downer.
So how bad will Parker burn us tonight?
20 and 10?
30 and 15?
40, 20, and 10?
Utah>*
Watson...
Seems like he is fired up to play some PG defense. Will be interesting to see if gets into crazy mad Watson mode tonight against Parker.
That would be a nice change of pace.
Having an opposing PG not kill us.
Utah>*
even then....
he will get burned. he’s just not fast enough
you're probably right..
but could make for some entertaining t.v.
It's pretty much a given
unless Corbin does something crazy like play Burks big minutes and put him on Parker. He’s the only guy we have who can stay in front of him. Well, Harris can, he just doesn’t seem to want to.
we have a shot
Manu’s out. But why is Howard starting? Maybe this game will get him back to what he was doing pre-injury.
by KaBar6 on Feb 20, 2012 7:02 PM MST via iPhone app reply actions
Even if he gets back to pre injury form
I hope we us the opprotunity to move him for someone who can hit a 3 or run a team.
Utah>*
I'd rather get Howard back
to what he was doing during-injury.
Im predicting/hoping/praying
CJ finally gets his shot to fall tonight.
I'd rather G Time finally get it going.
He’s the one we really need consistency from.
Utah>*
I'll take a poor man's Kemba
over Harris
Utah>*
Maybe, comparison of Pullen and Walker last year of college:
Pullen – 6’1" 200 lbs, 32.6 min .426 FG% .381 3PT% .773 FT% 2.9 RB 3.7 AST 1.6 STL
Walker – 6’1" 172 lbs, 37.6 min .428 FG% .33 3PT% .819 FT% 5.4 RB 4.5 AST 1.9 STL
what would you guys think about
Hayward playing point on offense, with bell and burks at the 2/3. on defense Burks guards the PG bell 2 hayward 3. Hayward is a better point guard than harris, and Burks might actually be quick enough to guard the opposing PG
Man . . . i'd love it if we could just play kanter and favors
and knock the sh*t out of old man duncan a bit. mess him up, rough him up. have our young guys play like tough guys.

not much nastiness on this team..
especially from the big guys, although Kanter and Favors could become nasty if they wanted to.
I saw that picture of Malone kicking Duncan and thought about how much I missed Malone’s flying knee when he drove the lane..talk about a scary sight for opposing teams
Right...
who on this coaching staff is going to teach the young guys to be nasty…or the attitude that they want to dunk on people every chance they get
Harris is better than everyone so far.
5-0

What percentage chance of jazz winning these?
by utahjazz-philippines on Feb 20, 2012 7:30 PM MST via mobile reply actions
If we defend the 3 pt line, 65%. If we don't 25%.
And 10% something else happens.
I'm pretty sure in hell there is a video on loop of Bonner shooting 3's against us.

Lowry was 'only' 7-8 last night.
I see a theme developing.
I love that if he is shooting at the end of a quarter or the shot clock running down,
it doesn’t matter where he is shooting it from, I always feel like it is going in.
At least he never airballs it
like Harris does
Utah>*
man, getting hard to keep him off the court.
going to have to try harder.
Melo back for the knicks

It isn't helping that lin has taken the most shot attempts

I like that Matt isn't afraid to call out bad ref's like some callers
However he also killed ‘Swat Lake City’ for me, so it’s a love-hate thing…
Harpring is great when he's just talking naturally
not so much when he’s “trying” to be entertaining or gimmicky
sadly, harpring is right
but that’s what i love about him, he’s an honest guy
err sry, in my opinion at least
i think, as much as i believe malone is greater, most ppl will always look at the championship factor, and see karl with 0 championships
Hard to argue with it though.
He was the best player on a team that was fairly dominant for at least 10 years. While it is debatable that Karl was the best player on a team that had a couple of pretty decent years.
back left corner of the buildling.
there’s a guy who’s consistently there. very dependable, just like the mailman
legs tired?
i think that’s the 2nd or 3rd dunk i’ve seen him miss since last week from an offensive rebound
he's only averaging 31 minutes a game
that shouldn’t be too much. wondering if there is some sort of injury, he doesn’t have that shake on the offensive end
We need Hayward to consistently hit open looks.
Please stop missing shots. Please.
This is true.
I guess it might just me personally that REALLY needs Hayward to stop missing open shots. It sort of breaks my heart a little when he misses.
This is just like the r0ckets game
by utahjazz-philippines on Feb 20, 2012 7:52 PM MST via mobile reply actions
Hayward looks done for the night...
Not good on either side of the ball. Those two fouls got in his head.

Jazz Offense is playing great tonight
Sadly our D is the same old story – non existent when Al/Sap are on the floor.
I really want to see Kanter get some serious minutes in rotation with Al and Millsap, I think he’d be great.
Anyone else think that at some point Duncan's eyes are going to fall out of his head
from opening them like that after every foul?
does anyone remember the last time
Howard produced? anything?
Before his injury.
But I just don’t care that much if he is hurt or what. He is blatantly stealing minutes.
with raja out it's not as bad
but he still shouldn’t be here. Burks is demanding minutes, CJ can play when given the chance and we may as well see what DeMarre can do.
Trade Howard for a can of tuna? Or maybe just a 2nd round pick (the Jazz are good at using those!)
You know I would endorse this.
I bet there might even be minor interest in him. I mean if KOC did his best salesman job and pitched how good he was at the start of the year. I am just so ready for the trade deadline to come and go, so I can go into full on complaining mode.
Aaaaargh!
Close game in the first half, maybe a meltd0wn in the 3rd. Its been the trend of our team
by utahjazz-philippines on Feb 20, 2012 8:02 PM MST via mobile reply actions
Just got here
Watched the last 6 minutes of the game. Good to see Kanter and Favors got 7 minutes. Combined.

Glad about that.
Did he only get 10 minutes because of Hayward’s foul trouble? Or were the 10 minutes coming to him anyway?
Email: jamidget@gmail.com
CJ came off the bench when Hayward got in foul trouble
so i’d like to think that Burks actually would have gotten those mins.
GenePick.com Movies, Books, &TV Review Blog
Twitter: @bjcseven
Kanter honestly looked pretty good too.
Combined with how he was one of the few bright spots last night, it only makes sense to limit his minutes now. So much bitterness.
I didn't even see him. Or Favors.
And yeah, Kanter’s line looks good.
And he might have attempted to stop Duncan when he moseyed in at the speed of tar for an uncontested dunk.
Email: jamidget@gmail.com
Kanter was killing it. He always does
Last night he played flawlessly yet still only got the same old token minutes.
I appreciate that he is a regular part of the rotation, but I hate Ty for lying about ‘earning minutes.’ Kanter has earned much more than he is receiving.
Aaaaargh!

Anyone else notice
The more the Jazz struggle to get a win, the more Ty plays the vets and cuts the kids’ minutes, and the Jazz lose more, so Ty gets more desperate to win, so he cuts the kids’ minutes and plays the vets more, and they lose more, so …
You can see where this goes.
Email: jamidget@gmail.com
At least that way we get to see them in the end of games when the game is already decided.
You feed into my negativity too much. I don’t need your help having a pity party.
Sorry
I get so frustrated.
Looks like Harris and Al have been decent this game. So there’s that.
Email: jamidget@gmail.com
You don't have to be sorry to me.
It is everyone else that has to put up with my whining.
Harris had a pretty good first quarter, pretty bad second quarter. And neither Harris nor Al have played much D, but that comes with the territory.
I did see Duncan walk down the paint for a dunk
And nobody even twitched to try to stop him.
Email: jamidget@gmail.com
I wasn't even upset by that play sadly.
I just shook my head. Bad sign.
Some of ya'll are just too negative
Hayward has been playing poor, so I don’t really mind his minutes being cut. Favors and Kanter’s rotations look good within the flow of the game.
Utah>*
Our defensive effort was pretty bad all around.
I don’t know if Favors was particularly worse than anyone else, but yes Bonner did do some things he shouldn’t have been allowed to. But I don’t have any faith whatsoever in us defending the three point line, ever.
And I am for sure too negative. But I really just don’t enjoy the game as much when Al, Harris, and Howard are dominating the play, on both sides of the ball.
I haven't really minded big al that much this season
since he’s making most of his shots, and is passing the ball fairly consistently. I don’t mind Harris when he’s on. And I always hate Howard, wasn’t a fan of the signing to begin with, and pretty much despise him post injury.
Utah>*
It isn't that I dislike our guys.
I just have so much more fun watching Burks/Kanter and to a lesser extent Favors. Kanter has been so much fun to watch this year.
Al made some pretty decent strides earlier in the season, but it seems like his D has regressed. I could be wrong on that, I have no idea what the numbers say, but that is what my eyes tell me. He has gotten much better at passing, but still does take the occasional shot that kills me.
I really don’t think there is much of a place for Harris on this team, he just doesn’t add anything at all. It makes me sad to say though. But it might just be a case of a really bad fit for him.
I really don’t have anything to say about Howard that I haven’t already beaten into the ground.
another positive...
Burks made some nice passes. I like how he doesn’t hesitate.
Burks def can pass
I’d really like to see him more at PG, just to see what he does when that’s more at the forefront of his mind instead of scoring.
But I’ve been saying that all season long, lol
Utah>*
It would be nice to try things like that.
But I guess when you are ‘contending’ you don’t get to be innovative and experiment.
I still have this crazy dream of a Burks/Hayward backcourt.
I honestly believe it could work.
Email: jamidget@gmail.com
I didn't watch the entire first half
but I liked how Burks played. Didn’t seem to press too much, went with the flow of the game. Hard to say if he is PG material.
Really hard to say, as it hasn't even been tried yet.
But he for sure can pass the ball.
My only expectation is what Ty promised at the start of the season "you earn your minutes"
IMHO – Kanter and Burks have exceeded expectation and deserve more minutes. Howard has shown he does not deserve the minutes he’s getting. Big Al’s defense, on occasion, should result in him having minutes cut.
These are the things that annoy me about the Jazz. Ty not staying true to his word, and bad performances being rewarded. Howard should not be allowed to ‘play out of his slump.’ He should ride the pine with Evans until he’s ready to perform.
I hope its just to break him out of the slump to move him. He isn't part of the future
and he’s not even a good veteran influence like Raja. Just plays selfish basketball, we don’t need our young guns learning that.
Utah>*
Burks is going to be a good player in this league.
I can really see him coming into his own next year, when Raja takes the Matt Harpring player/coach role, and Howard is gone.
in before KOC signs Howard to a 5 year max level 'Kirilenko Deal'
and we become the Detroit Pistons!
He isn't just game to game though.
He is at best quarter to quarter. And it might even be possession to possession.
Jazz shooting FT's for the remainder of the QTR?
See if we can actually take advantage of that.

Trade Howard ASAP after this game
who knows how long til he’ll have a decent one again

That Big Al shot is what kills me.
Lots of time left on the clock. Doesn’t take the shot in rhythm. Etc.
It's in rhythm
Catch – right hand up – right hand down – right leg out – right leg back – shoot
Email: jamidget@gmail.com
I don't think I ever like him taking a shot outside of the paint.
But I really hate it when it is followed by a mini pump fake type motion.

Howard is playing for his next contract. Players in that situation take a lot of shots. KOC knew this. He knew what he was going to be getting when he signed Howard.
You mean those guys sitting next to him on the bench are eligible to play?

True story
We were at dinner tonight, and there’s a game on the TV in the restaurant. My four year old looks at it and says “Sam! It’s the Jazz.” 6-year old looks at her disdainfully—it’s not the Jazz. It’s the Knicks and the Celtics. Wait, no Knicks were playing the Nets. This is Dallas and Boston.
Didn’t even blink.
Email: jamidget@gmail.com
I know this goes without saying.
But Ty isn’t even close to Pop’s level coaching wise. And I guess he shouldn’t be. But it is clear how outmatched he is right now. Bonner is destroying us and Pop sees that and plays him big boy minutes. Ty would stick to his rotations and yank him for a starter.
Pop is underrated
Which is crazy, but true. He took teams to conference finals that Phil Jackson would have resigned before he coached.

Utah>*
He never gets breaks. Ever.
It is upsetting.
They clearly don't watch every game
I’ve come to expect such last second shenanigans from the Jazz (usually CJ)
That 3 drives me nuts...
they prevent the SAS player who was RUNNING TOWARDS HIS OWN HOOP from catching the inbounds pass, but allow the guy flying up the court to catch and hit the 3.

I freaking love Kanter
I hope he has a Hall of Fame 20-year career with the Jazz, then becomes a superstar WWE wrestler.
Long term dream!
We should at least try to get Tim Duncan
He could play here for a year, then we could retire his number.
Things I'd like to see today:
- Natalie Portman naked
- Adam Sandler’s bank account statement
- Kanter & Millsap playing a few minutes together
I second this list
though I could live without seeing Sandlers bank statement.
Utah>*
Just curious is all
I kind of want him to be poor again so he goes back to making movies like Happy Gilmore
both teams are
19 of 23 FT
So nice to see a physical game with even FTA’s, and not a ton of whistles.

They peaked too early last year.
It will be interesting if Manu can get healthy this year.
True...
But there is just something about them this year… maybe it is just because a lockout seems to be their best friend.

Pop looks at the long-term more than any coach I've ever seen.
Brilliant that way.

I thought that about the Jazz in '99
Then we got steam rolled in the playoffs while the young Spurs romped, so we’ll see.

Ah, tough loss
I thought we played pretty damn hard, and can’t really complain too much.
Utah>*
Agreed
This isn’t one of those losses that makes you mad at the team.
Of course I’m constantly mad that our rookie’s don’t get more minutes, but that’s another story.
Well at least we're delaying the Spurs flight out of town now.
Jazz fought hard tonight,..really liked the effort on the boards chasing tips etc…kept us in the game. Disapointed the starters couldn’t pull this one out, but Spurs are probably one of the top 3 hardest teams in the league to face in crucnch time.
12 minutes by Favors
12 minutes too much Ty?

Way more upset that Kanter only got 10 minutes.
We have established that Ty is a liar. Playing time is in fact not earned.
Ty is a liar
This is a fact. He’s turning to Vets instead of guys that work hard. Sloan really rubbed off of Ty’s coaching disability.

I'd differ
in that both Al and Sap work very hard. There’s much about their game (Al’s in particular) that dissatisfies me, but I’ll never question their work ethic.

He's not a liar
It’s just that earning means different things for different guys.
It’s very mathematical. If (awesomeness) / ( years of experience) < 1, you get extra minutes.

I am having a hard time quantifying Kanter's awesomeness.
It is vast. And possibly blows up your equation.
Are you kidding me?
Spencer checketts is now on the KFAN post game show? That radio station is now officially un-listenable.

anyone else notice
Favors rebounding way down lately
I hadn't noticed
But you’re right. Only 7 per 36 minutes. He had been right around 10 prior to February.

Ty is just as predictable as Jerry
True statement?
