Utah/Spurs series becoming a replay of Warriors/Utah?

Question

Home team wins first two. Underdog dominates game 3, and the deeper team with better composure takes game 4. I've loved watching the Jazz through these playoffs, but there is absolutely no way that the Jazz win 3 in a row vs Spurs. Jazz players have finally earned some national respect, while because of a few stupid fans, Jazz fans have lost respect. Spurs deserve the credit for being the better team.

David. The Jazz dominated game 3. I agree that I couldn't claim to be a basketball fan if I said the Spurs were underdogs. Jazz were.

Answer 1

Exactly what i thought when i saw the jazz dominate last night, except in this series the jazz are commiting the technicals in game 4 not game 5 like the warriors did.

Answer 2

Kelly: Ok, I'm a Jazz fan and I'll put the blame where it lies, on the jazz players; they did suck it up. They didn't get the ball to boozer, and kirilenko, okur, harpring, fisher, just plain sucked it up. The worst I have seen out of them. And guess what? THEY WERE STILL IN IT! And then (and this is where my second choice for blame lies) the refs starting blowing every stupid flop for the spurs. And I consider myself a pretty fair guy, I mean I saw fouls against the spurs that shouldn't have been called, or plays that went the jazz's way but were called and shouldn't have been (like kirilenko flailing like a moron when he lost the ball TWICE and was barely touched - no hands on that fool, get rid of him). BUT that was without a doubt one of those most one sided games I have seen in a long time, and being a jazz fan, I have seen quite a few.

They were calling every little flop the spurs attempted. I mean, the only guy who didn't get calls but deserved them was DUNCAN! Parker - drives in the lane - spins - then his pantented "fall" / flop at the end (ALWAYS) -> Call. Every time. No matter if no one touches him when he falls, he always gets that call. Ginobili - flailing after Fisher barely touches him as if a 300 pound guy crashed into him -> Call. And then the T's were retarded. Anyone who can say they are a fan of regular basketball has to see that they were worse than some of the famous Rasheed Wallace technicals. I mean, that technical when Wallace just stared down the official? All Fisher did was look at Ginobili as if to say " you know you flopped on that" and got T'd up?! Insane. And I hate fisher, but that's not fair.

The jazz lost the game, but they didn't do it on their own.

And just for the people who are saying that the jazz fans lost their respect (and I don't think more than a handful threw stuff), think about it. When's the last time you saw the jazz fans EVER throw stuff? After one game: a couple of years ago, against the SPURS, the ref's ripped them off yet again, at the end when the jazz were up, and basically handed the game to the spurs. So, 2 times the ref's screwed up, the fan's let them and the league know it. And don't make it out to be something it's not, they're not like those few fans of detroit.

Answer 3

I think both teams the Spurs and Jazz are getting very competitive which makes it more interesting in watching the game. Game 3 was a good game for the Jazz tonight the Spurs came back on game 4. The better team won tonight no doubt, but I'm getting tired of these complainers and sore losers. If your team didn't win don't blame it on everyone else...blame it on your team because they sucked that night. On the Jazz fans which had no class tonight shame on you. Those Jazz fans made me laugh and probably made the Spurs laugh too, those fans just embarrassed their own team. How low is that? pretty dumb of those Utah fans if you ask me.

Answer 4

You actually think the Spurs were the underdogs??? And you call yourself a basketball fan???

Answer 5

Excellent point, thank you. For that, you get a star.

Answer 6

why don't you send a christmas card to the officiating crew while your at it. I know Pops will and should.
