Game Blog: 12/27/08 - Spurs vs. Grizzlies

[amy020]

Finley!!!

[SpurAddict561]

I don't even care if we win by 1

we're all pretty drained from Xmas I'm sure

that was a tough game

let's just pull this out fellas

[Spurs Brazil]

OMG TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spurs up 2

[024]

good plays by finley.

[SpurAddict561]

Findawg with back to back 3's then draws the o foul

good shit!

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck

[Warlord23]

Can we get a motherfucking stop?

[timtonymanu]

fuck Gasol and1.

[Spurs Brazil]

Gasol kiling us

Grizz up 3

[SpurAddict561]

Marc > Pau

pau is so soft its sad

[timtonymanu]

fuck man. put it away Spurs!

[45 bank shot]

can we play hill at least?

[loveforthegame]

If we lose you can point to one thing. Rebounds.

[Ice009]

I guess it's safe to say Mayo is a lot better than George Hill ;).

I don't like the way George has played lately. He's been doing what Pop told him earlier in the season not to do, that is being a placeholder. George dribbles it up too much and does nothing except pass the ball off.

[Spurs Brazil]

can we play hill at least?

Hill played awful D in the 1st half. I don't think he'll see the court again today

[urunobili]

we need this W come on guys...

[jmard5]

Bowen was open! He didn't take the shot?

[loveforthegame]

can we play hill at least?

In place of who? He's been terrible lately and hasn't warranted any minutes over the 5 out there right now.

[Ice009]

Having said that SPurs need to FUCKING GET IT GOING AND TAKE THIS GAME. NO FUCKING AROUND. TAKE THE GAME.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pawe]

basketball is a 3 point game? what kind of idiotic analysis is that?

[timtonymanu]

Manu 3333333333333!

[SpurAddict561]

Big big 3 by Manu

and these fags are sayin we should trade him for thugged out SJax?

[Trainwreck2100]

aqaahhhhhhh

[timtonymanu]

damn Tony.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Mayo

[Ice009]

Mayo incredible.

[hitmanyr2k]

Hill played awful D in the 1st half. I don't think he'll see the court again today

The Spurs really know how to kill a young player's confidence in the dumbest ways :lol

Nope, we don't want you to learn in the regular season. Just sit on the bench and regress so you'll be useless in the playoffs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Conley 3

grizz up 5

[loveforthegame]

Well fuck. That's it.

[timtonymanu]

this is sad. Really sad.

[SpurAddict561]

We need to stop shooting 3's when we're down by 2

wtf

it's too late in the game

[Ice009]

Mayo great shot then awesome assist to give his teammates an open 3.

[Trainwreck2100]

that was a shitty FT

[Ice009]

Spurs Come On This Is Pathetic Beyond Belief.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD 1/2

Grizz up 4

[SpurAddict561]

we need stops from here on out damnit

[SpurAddict561]

Stop Shooting 3's

What....the....fuckkkkkkkkk

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuce 333333333333333333333

Griz up 3

[timtonymanu]

Bruce 333333333!

[timtonymanu]

Tony and1!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

TP and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpurAddict561]

Fuck!!

Let's Play Some Damn D

[Warlord23]

Can we get some stops for these last 2 minutes at least, for the love of God?

[duncan228]

This is far from over. Parker heading to the line for an and 1 with the chance to tie it.

[SpurAddict561]

I'm not watchin the game either, if you're wondering why I'm so erattic

I'm watching the Espn tracker

[Trainwreck2100]

WHY MUST THEY TOY WlTH MY EMOTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!

[pawe]

yes yes yes TP and 1!!! Make the FT and get a stop now.

[loveforthegame]

Finley coming up with some nice plays tonight. A couple big 3's, drew an offensive foul, grabbed a big rebound, and a nice assist.

[tp2021]

Can we get some stops for these last 2 minutes at least, for the love of God?

How will you get through to Manu then? :lol

[Chieflion]

Those two teams just won't quit. If you did not look at the Grizzlies' record, you think they were a playoff team.

[SpurAddict561]

We need this game so bad

[boutons_]

Damn, Grizz gonna get to 3-11 on the road?

[Spurs Brazil]

TP FT good

DEFENSE now

[SpurAddict561]

D-fenceeee
D-fenceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK those refs

[JohnnySixString]

The Spurs are just being outplayed by an "inferior" team. Memphis wants the win more and have been showing it. It's not like the Spurs have been playing all that great lately. They should be up by twenty against this team, yet here they are again hoping to escape with a win.

[Johnny RIngo]

We need to stop shooting 3's when we're down by 2

wtf

it's too late in the game

Like it's been stated many times before, this team lives and dies by the three. Spurs ain't winning shit this year with this squad. We need more firepower.

[SpurAddict561]

let's lock it down damnit!

[loveforthegame]

Unbelievable.

[Spurs Brazil]

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck

Grizz up 2

[duncan228]

Fuck. Mayo with a BIG 3.

[bbarry]

[SpurAddict561]

[JohnnySixString]

That was kind of stupid of Manu to attempt. Oh well. Maybe in OT.

[mystargtr34]

Fuck.

Mayo is gonna drill us at the buzzer i bet.

[Biggems]

Ivaroni is an idiot.......Gay is on fire and they dont get him the ball. Sean is right on the money with that assessment.

[SpurAddict561]

OT, let's get the crowd into this damnit

weak ass audience

[mookie2001]

manu sucks now

[timtonymanu]

Overtime!

Duncan has 5 fouls, and already played 42

[thekingrobert]

OT against the grizz WOW

[mookie2001]

fuck argentina why does manu suck i saiddddddddddd

[loveforthegame]

I'll take OT and a chance to win over a loss at the buzzer for sure.

Something to watch for. Duncan has 5 fouls.

[Chieflion]

The Grizz are better than the Suns.

[Jobbs]

I can't believe the Grizz are pushing the Spurs into OT

[benefactor]

If there was an entry for "piss poor effort" in the dictionary, the Spurs logo and this game would be there. Props to Memphis for taking advantage.

[mystargtr34]

That last play should have been for Tony, he got us back into the game and was feeling it. I dont know whos fault that was, Pop or Manu, but that should have been for TP.

[Ice009]

That was not a good shot from Manu.

But we go to OT so now the Spurs can start this like they should have started the game and come out STRONG and TOUGH.

[urunobili]

come on guys we need this W

[loveforthegame]

Ginobli doesn't make bad plays like that very often.

[Duncan2177]

That was kind of stupid of Manu to attempt. Oh well. Maybe in OT.

Yea Manu is no Kobe.

[SpurAddict561]

We notoriously have a hard time with sub 500 teams yet beat down or at least beat the elite teams

welcome to Spurville

bunch of newbies

[ducks]

If there was an entry for "piss poor effort" in the dictionary, the Spurs logo and this game would be there. Props to Memphis for taking advantage.

[JohnnySixString]

OT, let's get the crowd into this damnit

weak ass audience


That would require them to put the cell phones away, stop conversating about everything except basketball and actually pay attention to the game they paid $$$ to see. But that's not gonna happen.

[Quiet Strength]

Pop wanting to beat bonner up

[cnyc3]

stick the tongue out again Mase

[Spurs Brazil]

Give it to Manu and win this shit

[hitmanyr2k]

Two straight games with buzzer beaters?

[pawe]

dammit, bonner didnt even know if they have a timeout or what and almost made a turnover. those are the kinds of plays he should be aware of for the playoffs.

[loveforthegame]

Watch Pop draw a play up for Finley.

[Fabbs]

Who is guarding OJ Mayo?

bowen better be
Was just hoping it wasn't Finsieve.

I hope its not double OT. Hate to say it but get Parker some rest if we choke off this final OT attempt.

[Spurs Brazil]

Another time out

[cnyc3]

damn mase not in

[Fabbs]

Watch Pop draw a play up for Finley.
He's got to sleep with him, right? :lol:depressed :depressed

[Ice009]

Hmm would you have Mason out here?

[mystargtr34]

What did Bonner do?

[SpurAddict561]

Hmm would you have Mason out here?

why not? he was dismal on Xmas too, then hit the dagger

[Bartleby]

Mason should be out there at least as a decoy.

[timtonymanu]

What did Bonner do?

he didnt call a timeout and almost turned over the ball.

[JohnnySixString]

Just end this horrid clusterfuck of a game with a win now. We don't need another OT of this nasty shit.

[mystargtr34]

Ball should be in TP's hands

[ducks]

Hmm would you have Mason out here?

mason not tonight
I would have finley out there with manu

[RashoFan]

Mason should be out there at least as a decoy.

Interesting thought...

[cnyc3]

[Spurs Brazil]

[pawe]

Manu and TP will be our heroes for the night! Make it count team! Believe!

[ducks]

Why Have Michael Inbounding The Ball?????????

Should Have Gotten The Ball To Mason.

mason sucked tonight

[it's me]

spurs already did

[jmard5]

Parker's wide open. Oh well.

[Ice009]

WHY WOULD YOU HAVE MICHAEL INBOUNDING WITH NO TIMEOUTS LEFT?

When you don't have any timeouts left why would you have Michael inbounding?

[mystargtr34]

Fans getting their moneys worth

[peskypesky]

we couldn't get ONE foul on Gasol? ridiculous

[TwAnKiEs]

Parker should have drove in a bit = ball game...

[urunobili]

[JohnnySixString]

Fans getting their moneys worth

Not if the Spurs lose. :bang

[raspsa]

Can't believe the rebounding numbers of the Spurs.. Bowen leading with 6.. needs improvement definitely

[DAF86]

WTF?

A Manu penetration in the regular time and a Tony jumper in OT? why didn't they do it the other way around?

[peskypesky]

Parker should have drove in a bit = ball game...

ah well, ot #2!

[Quiet Strength]

Pop should put udoka in instead of mason
