Pre Game
I feel like I'm going to the Doctors office....I’ll just have to be brave and go ahead and watch, but keep my bottle of medication handy!
by Bri Niel on Nov 1, 2016 | 4:34 PM
this is stupid. Its time to start winning games like this. beat SA.
by rbmw263 on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:04 PM
Great News!!! Spurs are only favored by 10.5 - we. are. going. to. WIN this!
by DixielandJazzz on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:05 PM
I just heard the news about Alec Burks. I like the kid, but when are we going to be honest and call him the biggest bust since Greg Oden’s Knees?
by DixielandJazzz on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:08 PM
How would you guys feel about trading Mack and pick(s) to the Kings for Mclemore? In light of Burk’s surgery.
by jlblackham on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:16 PM
My head says we're going to be destroyed. But my heart still wants a win. I’m having a terrible time right now.
by jjrosk on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:31 PM
I really hope we don't get blown out too badly :(
by TheJazzFanFormerlyKnownAsManny on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:33 PM
Lamarcus isn't playing, maybe we’ll lose by less than 20
by jjrosk on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:36 PM
Rudy's his kryptonite anyway
by TheJazzFanFormerlyKnownAsManny on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:40 PM
The Jazz has a long history of doing just the opposite of what you think they're going to do. So, there is always hope!
by DixielandJazzz on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:36 PM
I just really wanna see Exum ball out
by TheJazzFanFormerlyKnownAsManny on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:38 PM
I'm going to give the Spurs player inrto video a solid B+
by jjrosk on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:39 PM
Hopefully Rudy comes and and wrecks fools. He seems to bring it against Gasols
by Colten_davis on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:40 PM
First Quarter
Is that the first wedge of the season?
by TheJazzFanFormerlyKnownAsManny on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:44 PM
we are attacking the hell out of Gasol. i am pleased
by rbmw263 on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:45 PM
kawhi just makes basketball look easy but he has worked his ass off to get to this point. had no offense game in college
by utahcoyote on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:46 PM
I could see Dante on Kawhi at some stage: "Hey Kawhi" "Hey Dante" "Coach Q thought this would be character building" "That sounds like pop"
by Flynner McGee on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:46 PM
Loving this start
by bruddamanderek on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:46 PM
Hey, 3's.
by Colten_davis on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:46 PM
Yeah looks like we finally decided we want to hit them
by gotag on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:47 PM
Let's see if we can keep this up. Take em all day
by bruddamanderek on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:48 PM
It's so cool when we actually hit shots
by TheJazzFanFormerlyKnownAsManny on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:48 PM
Man... We're wrecking fools.
by Colten_davis on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:53 PM
Why are the Jazz are hitting shots against the best defensive team in the league
by TheKanternator on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:53 PM
This lineup for 48 minutes, who says no?
by gotag on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:54 PM
I'm worried about subbing
by DrDunkenstein on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:55 PM
let's hope Diaw's poor production was due to his injury - cause we need him better than that,
by SKMike on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:56 PM
spurs dont change what they do, and score seems meaningless to them, they don’t panic, and realize games has ebbs and flows, how many times has ginobili bailed them out at end of shot clock? or someone else
by utahcoyote on Nov 1, 2016 | 5:58 PM
We're up by 11 over the Spurs at San Antonio on the road. I really don’t want to wake up.
by Colten_davis on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:00 PM
I didnt even know David Lee was on the Spurs
by TheKanternator on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:02 PM
38 @ San Antonio in a quarter? I should probably just go to sleep.
by Colten_davis on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:05 PM
Who thought we would score 38 points in the first quarter IN san antonio
by TheKanternator on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:05 PM
Probably best to just turn off the game and retain the happy memories
by jjrosk on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:07 PM
the 4 bone headed turnovers at end of quarter didn't hurt us too much
by SKMike on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:07 PM
Second Quarter
goodmac tonight
by rbmw263 on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:08 PM
nice to see the bench play so well - come on starters keep it going
by SKMike on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:16 PM
If I wasn't seeing this with my own eyes, I would never believe it
by DixielandJazzz on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:16 PM
this is the kind of defence ive been waiting for from utah
by sweb10 on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:19 PM
Jazz are hitting shots tonight
by Rocinante1 on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:23 PM
just amazing to me how kawhi has turned into a scorer, just incredible if you saw him in college
by utahcoyote on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:23 PM
It would be nice if Leonard could miss
by Rocinante1 on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:26 PM
no kidding, so effective
by SKMike on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:27 PM
Was a fun alternate universe while it lasted, back to reality
by DixielandJazzz on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:26 PM
wow, another scoring draught to blow the lead
by SKMike on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:26 PM
Well it was fun while it lasted
by Rocinante1 on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:26 PM
Ah yes, SAS decided to sober up, well it was fun guys
by gotag on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:26 PM
This SA run looks familiar. Boom – 13-0 run with rim shots from the Jazz. Howz bout a dunk or layup guys? Set some tone like you’ve been there and answer?
by Stars71 on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:27 PM
if i be snyder, there would be lot of yelling about giving leonard space
by utahcoyote on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:28 PM
George Hill is so good.
by _JazzMan_OS on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:33 PM
close half strong, please
by DrDunkenstein on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:34 PM
I want Favs to be Aldridge-like
by Stars71 on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:36 PM
I really hate late career manu, none of the beauty in his game, reduced to just flopping and shooting 3’s
by davidthecomposer on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:38 PM
Manu is a bad man, He seems nice in those HEB commercials, but it seems like he has no integrity on the court. Flopping and lying and cheating the whole game. Very uncool.
by spencerwcp on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:41 PM
Ginobili is a shell of his former self, But does anything he can to help them win.
by ctjazzfan! on Nov 1, 2016 | 9:08 PM
6 blocks inm the half and none by gobert
by SKMike on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:42 PM
I can't dislike any Spurs player who has been in those HEB commercials. I just can't
by DixielandJazzz on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:42 PM
Third Quarter
i thought Chinese New Year's in February, what is this?
by SKMike on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:44 PM
If they can upgrade their team, their bench, and their Arena -Why can’t they ever upgrade their TV commercials during the game
by DixielandJazzz on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:47 PM
I want funny HEB commercials with Jazz players in them!
by DixielandJazzz on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:48 PM
What is HEB?
by Colten_davis on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:49 PM
Grocery store in San Antonio. Pretty big deal down there. My sister lives down there and won’t stop talking about it… so I guess it’s pretty good. Search them on youtube. Warning: they will make the spurs lovable.
by spencerwcp on Nov 1, 2016 | 6:50 PM
A nice lead... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAnd it's gone.
by Colten_davis on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:00 PM
spurs fans as slow as ours in getting back from halftime - i never understand
by SKMike on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:04 PM
i hope we play this well against some of the weaker teams on the road trip
by SKMike on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:06 PM
Smash Mouth playing in San Antonio. Soooooo out of touch
by spencerwcp on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:07 PM
Great to see some of that vaunted bench depth I've been hearing about
by DixielandJazzz on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:15 PM
Exum is all over the court.
by Colten_davis on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:16 PM
Exum and Lyles making me so happy tonight. if we can get through one more quarter without imploding, I’ll be ecstatic
by DixielandJazzz on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:20 PM
I'm knocking on all the wood
by YeOldeJimmy on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:21 PM
ummm...it is the Spurs. Actually holding up, on the road, with a one bucket lead...well
by Stars71 on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:22 PM
Fourth Quarter
exum 4 blox
by utahcoyote on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:28 PM
why do we miss so many fast break lay ups?
by SKMike on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:38 PM
Getting tense....please please please. Don’t trip over the shoelaces one foot from the finish line
by DixielandJazzz on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:39 PM
George Hill goat.
by Colten_davis on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:41 PM
Wow... Hill. Have my babies.
by Colten_davis on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:41 PM
Cant wait to see Hayward next to George Hill, They are gonna beast together
by TheKanternator on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:41 PM
Hill makes my nipples hard
by _JazzMan_OS on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:42 PM
Kawhi nearly tackled GH from behind but no call cuz elite defense
by rbmw263 on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:44 PM
JJ nice iso on Parker
by SKMike on Nov 1, 2016 | 7:44 PM
