it is not fun to watch jazz turn it over already. I tuned to spurs vs blazers, whoever getting beaten is just fine
No suprise. I know a lot of you hate Jazz but you have to admit they are one tough team and now with Boozer back, they are damn deep. Heck, even CJ Miles looks like a solid player now. Jazz is one team i wish the Rockets can avoid in the 1st round at all cost simply because: (1) They have the mental edge against us, (2) Yao has no answer to Okur's physical defense, (3) Yao has no answer against Boozer's jumper and it will force Adelman to play Hayes more, (4) Williams will abuse Brooks and Lowry, (5) Jazz's physical play and Sloan dirty tactics will cause Artest to go crazy....
Atlanta is actually injured tonight too...no Bibby and Josh Smith is out for personal reasons. This is purely conjecture (not sure if that's the right word), but I think the FG% is more of a result that Denver is good at baiting you into a run and gun game that leads to 8 second possessions and jump shots. But I'll say Denver's D looks better this year than last (the few games I've seen), and looks a lot better than Atlanta's D...but I still also think they're inconsistent.
Anthony Mason blew up. Showed him in the MSG crowd. Mobley also chatted briefly about his health earlier in the game.
So far, Portland is doing everything they can to lose in San Antonio. If they play focused in the 2nd half, it's obvious they will win the game.
All you people rooting for the Spurs are misguided. We have the tie-breaker over them, plus we are a better team than them and face them one more time in OUR HOUSE. If we can slide within two of the Spurs, we still play them twice, and could possibly take over the division lead. Never root for the upper team when scoreboard watching....you always want to aim up.
Precisely. In fact you can add Joey Przybilla and Marc Gasol with Okur as the White boys squad who give Yao fit!
looks like we are not gaining any benefits from tonight's games, NO, Utah and Dallas all leading in the 4th quarter now.
Utah is up 7 with 7 to go in the fourth, playing better in the 2nd NO was in a close game with Pistons, but up 5 with seven minutes to go, Chris Paul doesn't seem to relinquish leads. SA is going to beat Portland,don't be delusional SA is a lot better than the Rockets when healthy, and I'd rather see us being the third or 4th seed which is where we belong.
Blake should have been ejected, swung at Oberto and missed. Blazers, for all their talent, are inconsistent. Roy can't carry the team when offense is struggling. He's struggling himself tonight.
Credit to SA defense tho, the coaches and their players, they're just true professionals (except Bowen) they really play like a team, they defend well, unselfish and they know their roles, makes watching Spurs games satisfying NO up three, looks like they're going to win.
Blake and Rudy have been brutal tonight. The Blazers have no chance to win when two key guys go 1/15. They may put up a fight in the 4th quarter but the Spurs dodge a bullet and win another game missing both TD and Manu. The Blazers way of defending TP is easy to describe: Stupid.
