Nothing fancy for this one. I honestly would not bat an eyelash if Jazz dropped the rest of their games... Anyways, good luck Jazz. You'll definitely need it

We'll probably get whooped. There's some luck with Ginobili not playing, but Roger Mason can be dangerous.

Against the Jazz, everyone is dangerous. Bonner is getting a career high tonight!

The Jazz will win tonight, helping them on their way to the 6 or 7 seed.

Even when things are at their worst, the Jazz can always rely on the good old Clippers to lay down for them. Anyway this is the biggest game of the year and a time to get King Kong off the back if the Jazz want to avoid the Lakers in the first round.

i'll be at that game, with this team there is no guarantees

I don't see how they can win tonight.

carrottop12 · Post #8 » by **carrottop12** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 7:05 pm

This really is the biggest game of the season, if the Jazz win, they can put themselves in a very good position to be facing Denver in the first round, and either Houston or Dallas in the second round if they could win the first round match up.

The Jazz can almost completely control their destiny tonight with a W.

Also Tim Duncan is really playing poorly lately, he looks old and beat up, my guess is he is injured.

There is a chance that he could not play tonight.

I really hope the jazz win this game, but I doubt they will. They haven't won in SA in over a decade, so I don't see how its going to change now. The good part is I don't think the Jazz starters will even play the 4th quarter because by then the game will be over.

According to Tony Parker, Duncan has been (and actually is) playing through a great deal of knee pain. I can't remember where I read it, buy I certainly read it yesterday methinks...

4 games remaining... this is a MUST... our big fellas should defend a little more one on one (and just be a little bit nasty at Spurs guards and wings penetrations) allowing his teammates to be focused on perimeter D...

This would be a wonderful game to win, but it's not going to happen. Losing 22 straight games by an average of 16 points in San Antonio is pathetic. The Jazz play like a D-League team in SA (no offense to the Flash). I fully expect a whooping tonight.

There should be a poll with this thread entitled, "How much will Jazz lose by?".

All I want this season is 50 wins all I want this season is 50 wins all I want this season is 50 wins all I want this season is 50 wins all I want this season is 50 wins all I want this season is 50 wins all I want this season is 50 wins all I want this season is 50 wins all I want this season is 50 wins all I want this season is 50 wins all I want this season is 50 wins all I want this season is 50 wins all I want this season is 50 wins all I want this season is 50 wins....

That is when he is at his most dangerous . . . when people say he is done.

My prediction: Jazz mental block kicks in yet again and lose by 20+. Mason and Bonner both nail 3's from all over, Parker runs wild against our terrible pick defense.

the spurs have been struggling and im sure theyre very happy to see that they get to play that Jazz at home to get them back to their winning ways. I'll watch this game, but i won't like it, theyre going to murder us

seejaydeja · Post #16 » by **seejaydeja** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 11:58 pm

Spurs spend most of the game up by 10-15 then put us out at the end by 20+

Sloanfeld · Post #17 » by **Sloanfeld** » Sat Apr 11, 2009 12:34 am

I feel good about our chances of losing by less than 20 tonight. Spurs by 15, they go nuts from 3.

volguen · Post #18 » by **volguen** » Sat Apr 11, 2009 12:42 am

At least, try to make it a fun game to watch and try not to be down 15 by the end of the first quarter.

seejaydeja · Post #19 » by **seejaydeja** » Sat Apr 11, 2009 12:46 am

nope, same old jazz. they don't give a ****.

Sloanfeld · Post #20 » by **Sloanfeld** » Sat Apr 11, 2009 12:47 am

Corner 3's kill us against the Spurs. And Sloan was calling a timeout before that ball was inbounded, but I guess they called Parker for a foul anyway.
