PrintUtah Jazz at San Antonio Spurs, Nov 21, 2008 7:30 PM CST
The Jazz are coming into town on the wings of a cold front. We have to stay warm and try to amuse ourselves watching two injured teams.
Pull on your thermals, your Elmer Fudd hat, and your sock feet. Pop yourself some popcorn and get ready for B-grade hoops. It's Spurs - Jazz.

Game Time: 7:30 Spurs Time
TV: ESPN
Officials:
Keys To The Game:
- Injuries: Parker, Ginobili, Williams, Boozer are all out along with an assortment of injuries to lesser players. Harpring, Collins, Mahinmi
- Rebounds: Utah is one of the best teams in the league on the glass. We suck on the glass. As always, we'll need to do pretty well here.
- 3-pt shooting: We were 2-17 against the Nuggets. We were shooting 39% coming into that game. We need to be at 40% to create any kind of space for Tim.
Some other reading:
The jazz blog at SLC Dunk is another one that has high game thread turnout. Not at our levels mind, but they are not to be overlooked and I don't want to be shown up. Don't visit their site if you have a thing about dead animals. Utahns are apparently hunters. Me personally, I'd rather look at Hipuks' fish.
Other:
Speaking of jazz, and not the Kenny G stuff. I've recommended before, and I'll recommend again, Les McCann and Eddie Harris doing 'Compared To What'. Here's a youtube (it's not a video, just a recording) of a shortened version. This has about 4 minutes chopped off the one I'm used to listening to on Swiss Movement. I know SiMA is my antithesis and all, but I'll bet that even he likes it. Whiskey, cigar, Les McCann and Eddie Harris. Those things go together:
Ifyou guys haven't seen PtR member CMoney's work directing a video for a non-profit, you should check it out. The man does great work for a great cause. Be forewarned, it's not fun. It's serious stuff.
.
Recap (include the Three Stars): ATS will do it. Yay!

NBA League Pass
Does anyone know if NBA league pass thru time warner cable blacks out the Spurs games in Corpus when they are being shown on KENS TV out of SA? No one at TW knows for sure and, once you’ve placed the order, you cannot cancel it and get a refund if those games are indeed blacked out. Helluva policy.
when was the last time
the Jazz were 2.5 games ahead of the Spurs?
I linked to your post here, feel free to send some trash talk our way
Holy salamis, Batman!
Those pics they posted at the Jazz blogs for their game against the Bucks were in bad taste… I’ll take a dunking cheerleader any day over those.

Damn, now that you’re here I might as well tone it down and say it’s downright disgusting and you’re a sicko.
Seriously, though, where I live it’s not common to see Bambi hanging from his hind legs while people knife him. It’s really shocking, and rather violent – to me. Kind of like playing against the Raptors and losing, and then posting and allegoric Jurassic Park pic in which it’s eating a baby.
(What an awesome idea. We can Photoshop Spurs on the baby’s feet, too!)
But “bad taste” might’ve been too harsh. I dunno. PC sucks these days, and I can’t keep up with what might offend sports blogger. Hell, I post cheerleader pics and shit rains down on me… might as well keep to 4chan or something.
I can’t, that’s why I was making a guess. I’m guessing it will get taken down by “those who can”.

ATS-
To your likely surprise, I’m actually a HUGE jazz/blues fan. Not the utah kind, the great American artform kind. Literally 60% of my music is jazz/blues. Currently listening to Kenny Wayne Shephard’s ‘10 Days Out.’ Vintage old school stuff with some of the greats and KWS paying homage. Check it out, you’ll enjoy it.
Nothing about you surprises me. I OWN you.

Another Trade
Zach Randolph and Mardy Collins to the Clippers for Mobley and Thomas.
The Clippers have a front line of Randolph, Camby, and Kaman. And not a guard worth a damn. What are they doing in LA? At least Mobley’s contract was about to expire.

If I had tried to bet you guys before this game that the Spurs would score 119, George Hill would score 23, and Mason would hit 7 triples, what kind of odds would you have given me? 1 in a 100? 1 in a 1000?

The JV with the bull ride! I LOVE IT! Somebody pinch me, this can’t be real.
"Well if I am truly crazy, don't you know I like my life that way"
Looking at the schedule when Tony went down, I think we all chalked this up as an L. Even without Williams/Boozer, this is a big win. Back to .500 and maintaining our spot in the west without 2 of the Big 3. Plus, we are learning a lot of good things about our new guys.

Said it before....
…and will say it again. I CAN NOT WAIT to see this team gel in March / April with everyone healthy. Mason and Hill (and hopefully a contributing Ian) will make this bench 10x better than last season’s.

Hate to put the pressure on him, but I think how far we go might depend on how much Ian can contribute. Gotta have another big who can play with Gasol/Bynum, Chandler/West, and Garnett/Powe. Just not sure KT can do that anymore.
"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored." – Aldous Huxley
To clarify
I mean primarily defensively. I don’t think we’ll have to have Ian scoring, but we’ll need a big rebounder who can defend the paint.

Exactly. That, to me, is the one question on this team. Our ability to bang with the big boys and ugly out a couple wins in the playoffs when we aren’t hitting our shots.

Actually, I think Roger Mason looks just like Jaren Jackson did the year after the Spurs won the title

Well, guys, 2 am here. Great win.
Looking forward to the recap, ATS. Thanks for all the fun, guys. Night.
Could this night get any better? The wife brought Chipotle home right when the game finished. Night all, game leather round thingys to Mason, Hill and Pop for only playing The JV long enough to ride a bull.

Wow, what a great start to the weekend. Looking forward to the recap. I’m starting to like this team’s chances with a healthy Manu and Tony. Like was discussed above, now they need one more competent big man in order to compete with the likes of LA—Timmy can’t guard Gasol and Bynum by himself.
