spurs looking hot early from the perimeter with parker taking 15-20 footers

jazz cold early.
okur with an idiotic foul swiping for a rebound against duncan

and another idiotic foul 20 seconds later guarding duncan

spurs 10, jazz 4, about 5 minutes in

collins with "dirty"  ;) elbow to duncan's temple.  all the players remain on the bench

13-4 spurs around the 6 minute in mark.

ginobli knocked down a nice 3 after checking in 

13-9

duncan with an idiotic over the back foul on the offensive glass (his 2nd total)
 >:(

bowen from th eleft corner with another 3,  16-9

both teams slowed down a bit,  19-13 with about 1 minute in the quarter

end of 1st quarter, 23-15 spurs
 8)

Looks like the Jazz are determined to lose it on the 3-point line again. Oh well, it's been a good ride.

duncan back in around 10.20 in the 2nd,  spurs up 25-20

i dunno, spurs seem a little cold from the top of the key and wing right now....  and you are getting  better*  collapsing on the jumpers than last game.  at least a slight hand in the face

i see duncan playing a bit timid until the start of the 2nd half at least.  make your move now

Would that I had any control of the game plan whatsoever. (Pretty good fast break move from Giriceck just now though.)

30-26 spurs around 6 to play in the 1st half

spurs realizing that the key to scoring when they are cold outside is to just let parker abuse the jazz D  driving to the rim.

hesitation crossover is killer on williams

duncan gets his 3rd foul blocking a shot on harpring.
 [sm_disgust]

okur gets his 3rd.

jazz hanging strong 34-31 spurs  with 5 to play in the 1st half


van gundy calling harpring a flopping sissy  lol

parker with a killer pass from the top of the key to a cutting oberto.
38-31 @ 4.00

And has, as of yet, to make a big deal out of any number of equally blatant Spurs' flops during the series. Wonder who he's rooting for.  ::)

I stand corrected.  [sm_shock]

yup, he nailed horry on that one

then williams flops to get a charge on parker

boozer abusing horry in the paint.

announcers  totally don't understand charge/block rules... but that's.... ok

williams good mix of hand and ball stripping parker there

Apparently Parker thinks if you slap the ball out of bounds you should get it back.

ginobli has just become a 3 point assassin this playoffs.
 [sm_shock]

i think his point was along the lines of the nba typical 'over the back'  enforcement.  foul not called, ball technically off  the posessor, but retaining possession out of bounds due to the 'no call' on the foul.

Yeah, but the foul was iffy at best. Parker whines every call with the best of them.

that lebron 90+ footer thrown in like a baseball is  f'n awesome

I guess we know who'll get the ball for that game winning full court .5 second buzzer beater.  [sm_shock]

would you foul him or let him shoot it
 :o

boozer with an idiotic foul for #3 there guarding parker on the outside

game tied @ 49 with 10.20 to play in the 3rd
 [sm_shock]

duncan instantly converts the semi oop lob layin.

and 1.

williams doing a good job getting to the rim

horry making a killing  trailing williams for blocks.

williams puts in a 3 to tie it at 54.

duncan anwers back instantly down low on okur

Williams is going to be a superstar in this league. Hopefully the Jazz can manage to hold on to him.

boozer iwth a nice turnaround fader on horry to finally give the jazz a lead.

Jazz waste a fast break opportunity.

williams with a little floppish move to try and get a offarm charge on parker
 :D

jeff van romero  discovers google earth

spurs up 1, 60-59 @ 6 to go in the 3rd.

lol. I guess I'll open up the karma vault for that one.

Big shot for D Fish.  [sm_shock]

collins nice flop to draw the charge call on duncan.
 :o

Iffy charge on Duncan, but looked like they probably called it right, despite the flop.

up 62-60, in the penalty, with duncan out for at least 5 minutes, this is the jazz' chance to get back in the series

Terrible call against Fish.

did fisher forget ginobli is left handed?

attempted makeup call for duncan's 4th

jazz up 66-60  :o

Parker jobbed by the backboard.  [sm_rolling]

jazz build the lead to 7 with 1 minute to play in the 3rd.   can they sustain it when timmy d comes back in ?

Depends on if the refs keep forcing him to play by the same rules as everyone else.  [sm_devil]

Ginobli is human after all.

Huge 3rd quarter. Given that the Jazz have actually won the 2nd half of both previous games, this should bode well for them. Hopefully they can keep up the intensity. If they flinch, they'll be in trouble.

if the spurs come back to win this game in the 4th the jazz will get run out of the building in game 4.

Duncan bitches even when he gets the call.  ::)

Millsap with the "Suck it Bitches" hammer dunk.  [sm_shock]

i hate it when the officials don't call the glass-slap  goaltending.  simple rule. obvious when it happens.  never called.

"Energy was the solution." WTF?  [sm_disgust]

 [sm_disgust]

Duncan with his 5th on a moving screen.  8)

duncan gets fould #5...  bad and delayed call

Jebus, I just barely noticed Okur's line. 0-3, 0 pts, 5 fouls.  [sm_shock]

Jazz running away with it.

jazz on a nice run effectively close it out @ the 6 imnute mark
 [sm_disgust]

Remind me again what Chris Paul is doing now?

Taking this game with authority. Should be a big confidence booster for the Jazz.

D-Will takes a shot to "a sensitive area."  :-\

Interesting. Looking at the stats one might believe the Jazz would be leading this series. Hopefully this win is the spark the Jazz needed to at least give the Spurs a decent run.
