Game Thread #82 - vs Utah
by AusTechSpur
on Apr 16, 2008 9:23 AM CDT
The finale of the regular season. A win gives us the three seed. A loss probably the sixth seed.
Whatever. We get what we get. I'd like to see Manu play and I would like to see our boys play well.
Linix129 is on the recap
(Great, now we have a ridiculous 75 word minimum. Blah, fucking blah, blah, blah. I'm so glad that they are doing this for our benefit right as the playoffs start. Is this place run by football people. Must be)

Why don’t we use this game thread as a way to play with the site in order to get ready for the playoffs. Play away, whatever that happens to mean.

Bring on the Suns (or whoever)!
The important part of the the groinal/testicular region of Manu will overcome any residual pain to pave the way with 30+ points and home court advantage for at least one round
Spurs 105
Utah 93

It doesn’t matter who is the opponent in the 1st round, it’s time to bring it. No excuses, just play ball.

What we need is a win…a Rockets loss and a Suns loss. I’m really interested to see what the Hornets do tonight. If they beat Dallas, then they most likely will face _enver. If they rest their guys and lose, then they’ll play the Mavs.

8:30 PM SA – 10:30 PM ARG
55-26 ............................................. 54-27
Streak:
1 W …............................................... 2 W
Home record:
33-7 …............................................. 37-4
Road record:
22-19 …............................................ 17-23
Last 10:
7-3 …............................................... 8-2
______________
(Sort of) Interesting facts:
► Previous games: These two teams have met 3 times this season.
→ Dec/11/07 – UT 98 | SA 104 – at San Antonio.
→ Jan/28/08 – UT 97 | SA 91 – at Utah.
→ Apr/04/08 – UTA 90 | SA 64 – at UTA.
► Utah hasn’t won at San Antonio in almost 10 years. The Spurs have taken the last 20 (twenty!) games at home. The last victory by the Jazz was on February 28th 1999 by 101-87.
► San Antonio lost the last 2 against the Jazz (both at Utah). The most recent game, on March 4th, finished 90-64, matching the Spurs’ historical record for least points in a game. Ugh.
► With this victory, the Spurs would assure for themselves the 3rd spot in the conference. However, they’ve lost 3 of the last 6 games, including defeats against Utah by 26 points, LA by 21, and Suns by 17. Double ugh.
► Tony Parker comes from a spectacular game against the Kings. He finished with 32 points, 11 assists and only 1 TO in 37 minutes.
► Manu’s status hasn’t changed. After the game against the Kings, Manu said that he’s ready to come back – but he understood Pop’s prudence.
► Next games for the Spurs:
→ Vs. Utah – Wednesday 16/Apr
→ PLAYOFFS!

For the record, I hate this new template already. Can’t find anything on the main page’s layout, and now I couldn’t put the starting lineup because it doesn’t recognize more than one space between words. Crazy.
Spurs 100
Jazz 90
This is a must-win, I agree with Sgtin, CMoney and everybody else. Not that I’m quitting if we lose – I’ll just be truly scared.

what kind of formatting did you need for the lineup?
You might be able to accomplish the “more than one space between words” layout by enclosing the text in <pre> tags. That makes your spaces stay where you put them, and might do the trick for your lineup.
