Spurs wrap it up - NBA playoff notes - 05/30/2007

This game was over before it even started. If you spent a lot of money and bought tickets for this game, I sure hope you were there on time because it was over midway through the first quarter. The Spurs ended the quarter 34-15 and the Jazz were done. Spurs did it behind Tony and Timmy as Parker came back after a bad game. Timmy was his usual self and neither of them and Manu had to play in the fourth quarter. Timmy had a 21-7 game and Tony had 21-5-5. They just hit the Jazz in the mouth and the Jazz didn't recover. Nobody is better in closing out games than these Spurs. The blowout left the crowd so bored they had to do the stupid "wave". Even the Admiral David Robinson joined in.

The Spurs have won it all in 99, 03 and 05. They have been dominating the odd years (except for 01) and 07 looks no different. They just sit and wait for the Cavs or Pistons now. As for the Jazz, great season and they hope to build on that. Deron and Boozer have established themselves as a special pair, though they just had a 11 and 9 point night respectively tonight. The other guys got some good experience and hopefully they wouldn't disappear in future playoffs like they did in this series.

NBA is now struggling with these "boring" playoffs and the finals might get even worse. Not sure how to make these playoffs any more interesting, but the NBA definitely has an issue. I think the playoffs are way too long and they need to be speed it up. Keep it "tight" and may be you can hold people's attention.

San Antonio @ Utah - 109-84

Playoff schedule for 05/31/2007
