The official Game 1 Jazz at Spurs thread

Game 1 is 12 hours away now. Go Jazz!

I can't help but be excited...even though I think the Jazz are going to lose by 57 points.

Oh, C'mon! At worst Jazz will lose games on average by 5.7 pts. No way they lose any game by57!

Did I forget the decimal again?

So you're saying there's a chance?

Watch one, or two, of our guys get hot. We have players that can compete with anyone...but still (as Bill Simmons says)......

My question here is who will have the best overall game for each team? I'm going with Hayward and Parker.

I'll go with Favors if he has more minutes than Hayward.

I gonna go with Milsap an Parker. If we don't get a handle on TP early he will kill us. 57 does sound a little high. There is no way we lose by more than 45.

In this opening game on SA's floor I'll be pleased if the Jazz can keep the final score within 10 points. SA's big 3 are soooooo crafty and their roll players are doing a great job.

Media expectations are that this will be a 5 game series. If the Jazz can push it to 6 it will really ramp up expectations for next year.

I predict that this will be a all or nothing type game, either they will get destroyed like the Knicks did yesterday or they will push the Spurs to the end and have a chance to win this game like the Mavs did against the Thunder, I'm going to hope and believe that it will be the latter.

The second quarter is gonna be make or break. The Jazz need to force the inside play.

It seems to me like the Jazz are getting pretty good looks, but the ball isn't dropping. But I haven't seen any answer for Parker yet. He was having his way with us when he was in the game.

Favors is ballin. Love the block on Timmy.

Just got another one on Parker!

Parker is making Harris look silly. He is blowing past him at the 3 point line every time. Favors needs to be on the court!

ESPN just showed Tony Parker first half highlights. He's a real problem.

I think Utah is just feeling their way out. And its hard to do when you have such a good, executing team like the Spurs.

2nd half should be good. Jazz players just need to slow down a bit in the halfcourt, and RELENTLESSLY attack the glass.

I think we're looking alright, just need to push it on the Spurs when we can, and go after rebounds.

Get Harris the F out of the game!

Jefferson just lazily let Duncan outrun him back up the floor for a Duncan layup. Duncan missed, but got fouled by Millsap on the play and went to the line.

It's about time Corbin got the big three in the game.

This should be our freaking starting lineup!

Missing free throws, can't have that against this team.

But love that rebound from Favors off Al's miss. Thats what we need. ATTACK!

Unbelieveable. WAY WAY WAY!!!! too many entry passes picked off! Fundamentals young Jazz!!!

Well this game is over

Def tough to come back 15 on a Spurs team. But we'll see.
Think we will definitely see now though, Favors will be getting more minutes the rest of this series. He and our other 2nd year Stud Gordo are playing great great ball.

I thought if we were gonna get a game in SA it was gonna be game two. There were a lot of nerves by the young guys.

It seems like Kanter doesn't make an impact on the boards like he used to. I just checked his rebounds per 48 mins and they have been down considerably the second half of season over what they were first half of season.

Tinsley pulls Jazz within eight, but Parker quickly answers.
