Difficult Times Lie Ahead

After losing to the New Orleans Hornets [32-12], the San Antonio Spurs [28-15] has to deal with another loss against the Utah Jazz [27-18]. The Spurs' game against the Hornets was troublesome. Very troublesome. The Hornets were shooting 3's and the Spurs clearly wasn't shooting well with 10.0% beyond the arc. Peja Stojacovic looks like he's just in practice and most of his 3's look effortless. I watched the game, okay. So, I witnessed the downfall of the Spurs to the Hornets. "It was a really big win for us," said Chris Paul. Enough with the Hornets-Spurs game. Let's just go down to Spurs visit to the EnergySolutions Arena, Salt Lake City, UT.

The Utah Jazz overpowered and handed the San Antonio Spurs' second straight loss, 97-91. The Spurs really have a serious problem offensively. Tony Parker, I think, was someplace else with only 5 pts. "(Tony) definitely doesn't have the same explosion. He's still trying to find his total focus back and get his heel healthy," said Gregg Popovich. Manu Ginobili [29 pts] and Tim Duncan [26 pts, 11 rebs] did great but wasn't really enough to win against the Jazz. Carlos Boozer had 23 pts, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists. Deron Williams had done his job very well with 11 pts and 14 rebounds. The Jazz played really physical this time against the Spurs.

Spurs' Annual Rodeo Trip SUM is DIFFICULTY
The Jazz, Sonics, Suns*, Pacers, Wizards, Knicks, Celtics, Raptors, Cavaliers road games all sum up to the difficult times that lie ahead for the San Antonio Spurs. I am also expecting that when the Spurs meet the Washington Wizards, Agent Zero will be back on his jersey.

p.s. I was shocked to see the Hornets dominate them the way they did; Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 1:10:00 PM PST
Bug said...: i won't worry too much about the spurs' road trip. they will always be in the playoffs unless the clips, t'wolves, sonics, and the kings start going crazy and rack up Ws.

and come playoffs time, that's where the spurs will be much stronger. i've always been afraid of the spurs in the playoffs ever since they sunk the knicks back in 99. :(

barring injuries to timmy, i think the spurs will be just fine.; Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 8:45:00 PM PST
John said...: I'm just a bot concern here. How much will Spurs suffer in terms home court advantage come the play off times?

Bug said...: last year, san antonio won two games on the road during the first round of the playoffs against denver.

then,in the western conference semis, they also won a couple in phoenix. they won a game at utah but they only needed five games to wrap that series up.

and then, in the finals, they won two straight in cleveland.

so, i think it does not matter where the game is played for the spurs. i think that's why they are so good.; Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 10:58:00 PM PST
