Game Preview #4 - San Antonio Spurs @ Utah Jazz - Back from Vacation

Kauai-luxury-vacation-rental_medium

Did everyone enjoy their vacation from the NBA?

And we're back.  It's Thursday (for which Lauri is very happy), and after a strange four day break in the schedule, the Spurs are embarking on a little road trip, with the first stop in Utah.

More after the jump. 

Star-divide

Welcome to the first truly hack preview of the season.  This is much, much harder than it looks (major props to Wayne, Tim, LD, and davis for making this look easy).  However, I am excited that our beloved Spurs are on national TV again, since I'm too cheap to spring for League Pass.

Spurs
(2-1)
Matchups

Jazz
(1-3)

Tony Parker
Top 5 PG

Point Guard

Tony is faster. Williams is bigger. Tony shoots a better percentage. Williams is the better assist man. They are both pretty damn good.

Advantage: Jazz


Deron Williams
Top 3 PG

Auxcuadro_medium


Manu Ginobili
Argentine

Shooting Guard

Brewer has improved each year in the league, but he's not Manu.

Advantage: Spurs


Ronnie Brewer
Not Argentine

Auxcuadro_medium


Richard Jefferson
Shaved

Small Forward

Andrei Kirilenko is known more for his defensive prowess. Jefferson is slowly acclimating to the Spurs. They have similar statistics this year, but I give the edge to RJ for his better offensive game and ability to create his own shot. Plus, RJ's contract looks great compared to AK-47's.

Advantage: Spurs


Andrei Kirilenko
Schoolboy Hair

Auxcuadro_medium


Tim Duncan
GOATPUFF

Power Forward

Even with his down numbers this year, Timmeh is still statistically better than Boozer. Plus, Timmeh actually plays defense. Boozer is shooting an abysmal 35% from the field this year. It's not even close.

Advantage: Spurs


Carlos Boozer
Bad Chemistry Experiment

Auxcuadro_medium


Matt Bonner
Shooter

Center

Bonner has been starting, so he goes in the center spot. He likes sandwiches. Okur not only shoots pretty well, but has been pulling down 8 boards a game this year.

Advantage: Jazz


Mehmet Okur
Better Shooter

Auxcuadro_medium


George Hill
Mr. PER

Bench & Role Players

Millsap is a good player who always hustles. However, Hill should be able to take either Price or Maynor, and Blair and McDyess should have their way with the inexperienced backups.

Advantage: Spurs


Paul Millsap
Over Achiever

Auxcuadro_medium


Gregg Popovich
HOF Coach

Coach

I love Jerry Sloan. Seeing he and Pop match wits should be fun. The fact that between the two of them, they have exactly ONE Coach of the Year award is redonkulous. However, the Jazz are experiencing both injury and chemistry issues, giving the edge to the Beardless One and his crazy lineups.

Advantage: Spurs

Other Factors

Auxcuadro_medium

Intangibles

The Spurs haven't played since Saturday, so they should be well-rested and ready to go. Advantage: Spurs

Mojo

The Jazz got spanked in the 4th quarter of their last game. No one was particularly happy with the effort.  Advantage: Spurs 

Winner

Spurs have gotten plenty of sleep this last week and the starters should come out firing. The BAM squad should build on the early lead, with the Spurs taking the victory. Spurs by 10.

Keys To The Game

  • Start Fast - The Jazz are 1-3 and coming off that (almost) historic 4th quarter by D-No on Tuesday.  The Spurs' need to come out ready to play, even after the long rest, and not allow the Jazz to get their feet under them.  Sloan has been scowling at his players for 2 days and should have them ready to go.
  • Be Aggressive - Utah allows over 105 ppg and doesn't have a lot of front court depth.  Boozer had foul trouble against Dallas.  We need to drive the lane, and if nothing is available, then kick it out to the 3-pt line, where the Jazz let their opponents shoot 44%.
  • Bench Play - The Jazz have Paul Millsap - that's about it.  Our bench needs to step on the gas when they enter the game and take advantage of our depth.

Last Time They Met

The Spurs last played the Jazz way back on April 10th and Tony had a monster game (boxscore).  I don't remember this game, but I did find highlights.  It's weird to see Gooden in a Spurs uni.


Some Other Reading

Jazz

SLC Dunk - The Jazz SBN blog.  They are not too happy about the start of the season and the Boozer mess.
Salt City Hoops - This is the TrueHoop network blog for the Jazz.  I know nothing about this blog, but it looks snazzy.

Spurs

48 Minutes of Hell:  Speaking of THN blogs, we're extremely lucky that the best one is dedicated to the Spurs. Tim and Graydon always do an excellent job of breaking down everything that's happening in the Spurs' organization.
Project Spurs: Good independent blog with lots of good content.  Spurs fans are lucky to have so many good blogs out there.

Quote of the Day

"That's not winning basketball, that's just taking your paycheck and going home."

- Jazz coach Jerry Sloan on his players' failure to provide help to each other defensively in Monday's debacle against Houston.

Other Thing of No Interest to Anyone but Myself

Since the highlights to the Kings game are not available on NBA.com, I bring you the diverging diamond interchange - it's new, it's different, and it's cool (to me).  Be sure to keep arms and legs within the vehicle at all times.


Where to Tune In

TV 

This game will be aired nationwide on TNT.  Yay for me!

Online

As always, NBA league pass is recommended for those who are willing to pony up the cash.  Almost every Spurs game will be broadcast there, which is especially helpful for those of us who aren't in the San Antonio area.

Please don't post links to illegal game feeds in the game thread. Links to illegal feeds are not permitted on SBNation, but you can probably find them out there on the internets if you're resourceful and desperate.  In fact, nobody can stop you from googling "atdhe". You can also shoot an email to dmenendez@gmail.com for more assistance.

Spurs League Pass audio is still free this year, so check it out.

Radio

If you're in the San Antonio area and aren't near a TV, tune in to WOAI (1200 AM).

Schedule

If we are above .500 on November 22nd (day after we play Washington in SA) then we will be above .500 until February. Guaranteed.

  • 6 of our first 11 games are part of back to backs.
  • @ Chicago was and @ Utah, @ Portland, and @ Dallas are tough road games
  • Toronto, OKC, and Washington are all better this year
  • OKC upset us twice last year…..and might have our number

This is me playing it safe. We should be favorites in every game though.

No, but that first stretch of games is more difficult than one might think and we starting out of shape/new to the team/new to league/off playing in Europe all summer/etc. I’m saying if we start 6-5, we won’t go back to .500 unless we implode and lose all of our moderate to difficult games during and after the rodeo road trip. Looking at the schedule, a 6-5 could easily turn into a 20-10 record or better.

r21, yea thats tough. They are two completely different types of guards. Then again, Tony is that rare breed of offensive point guard. Probably the best offensive point in the League…

I would consider him the best scoring point guard. Assists are part of the offense imo, and Deron Williams and Chris Paul are great at getting those, and still score a good amount.

been contemplating this for a while. I’d say that Roy is the better player overall, but in the last few minutes of the game, I believe Manu is much better, and comes through more in the clutch.

isnt it great that our spurs are on national TV two nights in a row against two top-notch teams? thanks NBA. we can beat both of them though and should be rested and ready for tonite.

Dear Pop,

My friend recently beat me in poker heads up. I lost Php 150. I know that’s only $3 but that’s still money. Recently, he has been in my ear everyday, to remind me of Denver’s 5-0 record. He likewise pointed out that Denver also had Utah and Portland back-to-back earlier this season, and the Nuggets won both games.

I’m a Spurs fan. Please let me save face. Please, if only for these two games, play to win—not to test some lineup or experiment on some plays. Thanks.

Dunno what I wrote above, but your reply that was hilariously classic.

Spurs fan in LDSland

I lost a beer in the Delta center wearing a spurs jersey. My buddy and I were getting a little crazy with Rodman sinking 3s. On the next trip to the concessions, two fresh beers, one angry lds dude, hits the beer right out of my hand in front of the concessionaire. Dude didn’t replace my spurs energy drink.

Why? I was about to tell him,

Hey, welcome to PtR. I hope we won that game. By the way, I don’t know if it’s worse to be a Spurs fan in Phoenix (like Tim C.) or in Utah (like you), or in LA (like olf).

olf has it worse. I mean, he’s in total denial of his Spurs fandom.

Do you think olf checked himself into Lakers’ rehab? That might explain why he hasn’t been around much lately.
