Game Blog: Grizzlies @ Spurs - Feb.27

[Spurs Brazil]

JoeAlexander210:

Not all of the Spurs players are back out yet. We're still watching for Tony.

JoeAlexander210:

Time running down in halftime. I still don't see Tony

[itzsoweezee]

Ummm did I say that it was effective dipshit? You asked what he was in for? The answer is, to spread the floor. Him and Duncan both played 13 and that was with Duncan rolling his ankle a tad. If you have been watching the Spurs regularly this season (which seems unlikely) You would clearly know and see that Dice is not going over 20 minutes in most of these games... If Splitter would like to join the party that would be great but if he is still to pussy to see the floor well then Bonner= Extra PT.

Thanks for the worthless comment. No shit his role is to spread the floor. The implication from the original question, dumbass, was why he's in the game when he's obviously playing his role ineffectively. You really needed me to spell that out? Maybe you should comment less if you're that dense.

[Spurs Brazil]

JoeAlexander210:
The second half is starting of Spurs vs. Grizzlies - we don't see Tony Parker. George Hill going out for the second half.

fuck

[Fireball]

but you realize that you can spread the floor without shooting actually

[Fireball]

fuck

+1

[Budkin]

If TP is out this game will be tight.

[GinobiliForTres]

fuck

Tony got hurt last season in march against the Grizzlies, too. Coincidence?

[ace3g]

JMcDonald_SAEN Jeff McDonald
George Hill starting second half for Tony Parker, who left before halftime injured.

[timtonymanu]

Damn it. Please be fine Tony.

[DesignatedT]

How is he playing his role ineffectively? He is spreading the floor just fine.... lmao

[Spurologist]

I haven't seen that tech at all this season. Tech for slowing up play to start the 3rd????

[Spurs Brazil]

Wow, the ref has a torn ligament

[Spurologist]

Damn it. Please be fine Tony.

huh? Do you even know his status?

[timtonymanu]

Goddamn is there a Blazers god in the building or what?

[Capt Bringdown]

Is there a timetable for Splitter or Neal's return?

Copy that - especially Splitter, I haven't seen anything about his status for awhile. Not that it matters, it would be extremely surprising to see him in the playoffs. I guess best-case scenario would be for him to give Duncan some rest in the final few games before the playoffs.

[DPG21920]

TP with a calf contusion. He will not return.

[justinandimcool]

Tony has a calf contusion. That just means a bruise right?

[TampaDude]

Crap...TP out...

[DesignatedT]

left calf contusion for tony. wont return

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i hope blair is not forcing it

[tdunk21]

TP with a calf contusion. He will not return.

whats a calf contusion?

[ace3g]

JMcDonald_SAEN Jeff McDonald
Tony Parker has a left calf contusion and will not return.

[Spurologist]

Tony has a calf contusion. That just means a bruise right?

:tu

[Tp9gospursgo]

Damn, hopefully Tony comes back soon. I know hes been bothered by his leg recently.

[Spurs Brazil]

JMcDonald_SAEN:
Tony Parker has a left calf contusion and will not return.

[TampaDude]

That's goaltending!!!

[Spurologist]

JMcDonald_SAEN Jeff McDonald
Tony Parker has a left calf contusion and will not return.

:pctoss

[CFH]

Now Blair heading to the locker room, this game is cursed

[DesignatedT]

damnit dice.

[TampaDude]

This is turning into a body bag game...ugh...

[TIMMYD!]

Fucking shit.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Fuck what the hell happened to Blair? I saw him limping down the court

[Fireball]

ok, Spurs falling like flees the last games ... this is over

[Tp9gospursgo]

Damn we cant hit anything right now.

[TampaDude]

OMFG...what a horseshit call...

[CFH]

Terrible call

[Bill_Brasky]

Hill fucking robbed.

[Spurologist]

Refs are blinder

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

buuuuuuuuuuull shit call

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why no TP?

[MannyIsGod]

Calf cuntusion - out for the rest of game.

Terrible call on Hill. Horrible.

[Fireball]

everything goes wrong now

[TampaDude]

Refs turned an and 1 for the Spurs into an O-foul.

[Mr Fundamental]

We lost our ryhthm.

[MannyIsGod]

dice has some of the worst hands of all time .....

He has some bad hands, but he still has nothing on Nazr.

[TIMMYD!]

Everyone's getting hurt this game. Damn Grizzlies and their scrappiness.

[Barfunk]

Ginobili is always getting hammered

[noles1983]

wow they look like ass

[tdunk21]

stupid call on dice

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

no worries, savior bonner is coming in.

[Budkin]

What happened to Blair??

[DesignatedT]

This offense is just horrible looking without Tony.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ooooo, we're falling to pieces. This might be one of those rare games where we don't bounce back in the 2nd half, like Chicago.

[Texas_Ranger]

fuck this stupid game

[Tp9gospursgo]

I hope DB comes back at least....

[Mr Fundamental]

Red Rocket is in.

Now shoot some 3

[Spurologist]

+2

[Bill_Brasky]

Get a fucking bucket....jesus.

[Spurs Brazil]

We're having a tough time to score

REFS SUCKS

[Budkin]

Wow we're not winning this game.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

How the hell is everyone getting injured on bull shit

[Fireball]

wow ... Gasol yelled at the Ref ... why no T?

[Tp9gospursgo]

Good news. Blair coming back.

[Budkin]

Good news. Blair coming back.

Sweet... we need everything we got tonight with no Blair or TP.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck these refs. I hope they get hurt too.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Alright well its obvious someone has told the Grizzlies to rough the shit out of us tonight...you would think they have some sort of vendetta or something

[TampaDude]

Wow...this is some serious assfucking by the refs now. No TP, no Blair, and 5 on 8.

Loss.

[Texas_Ranger]

RJ sucks!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

RJ is a fucking ghost if he can't make threes.

[DesignatedT]

hmmm ok

[DPG21920]

Griz trying their hardest to injury the Spurs. Just another way to help LA.

[Spurologist]

Fuckin bullshit...How can you call timeout when you don't have possession? That's a jump ball

[MannyIsGod]

LOL @ that time out call. Bonner has more of the ball tahn Gasol.

[Spurs Brazil]

Those two refs are horrible

fuck them

[Bill_Brasky]

These refs are fucking terrible. Fuck them.

[Fireball]

these two remaining refs have no clue what they are doing

[TampaDude]

Watching the NY-Miami game...damn the Heat look good. I don't know if we can beat them in the Finals.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We've gone into 4-down mode because they seemingly can't run the plays with any synchronicity. Not a good sign.

[Barfunk]

Vintage 2002-2003 type Spurs. Blowing 20 point leads. Hopefully they can play through the drought and pull this one out.

[DPG21920]

This is one of RJ's biggest faults imo. These moments are what he is paid so handsomely for. When one of the big 3 has an off night, especially offensively, it is his damn job to step up and put in about 18-20 points.

[Budkin]

Wow this game is bullshit... and to think it started off so great.

[Fireball]

Watching the NY-Miami game...damn the Heat look good. I don't know if we can beat them in the Finals.

With our injuries piling up we will not make it to the second round ...

[Budkin]

The really shitty thing is that we have to play them in Memphis on Tuesday, so this could end up being back to back losses of we drop this one tonight.

[Fireball]

This is one of RJ's biggest faults imo. These moments are what he is paid so handsomely for. When one of the big 3 has an off night, especially offensively, it is his damn job to step up and put in about 18-20 points.

Agree 100%

[CFH]

Tie game

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This is the kind of game where we need RJ to step up and start taking it hard to the hoop. Where are you RJ???

[timtonymanu]

This is one of RJ's biggest faults imo. These moments are what he is paid so handsomely for. When one of the big 3 has an off night, especially offensively, it is his damn job to step up and put in about 18-20 points.

Seriously. He's pissing me off right now his passive performance.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Spurs can't catch a break.

[Budkin]

With our injuries piling up we will not make it to the second round ...

They're not that serious. :rolleyes

[Libri]

Fuck these refs. I hope they get hurt too.

I'm just checking in. The refs are at it again? :makemyday

[Bill_Brasky]

This is really starting to piss me off.

[DPG21920]

Holy sh*t, Bonner sucks :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

wake the fuck up! This is pathetic

[Spurologist]

we can't hit shit

[TampaDude]

Wow...Bonner WAY off...gotta get it together, guys!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:rollin holy shit

[Spursfanfromafar]

The thing about Bonner is that when he makes his threes, he looks amazing with that high arching unorthodox release and everything. But when he doesn't make the three, it looks amateurish and crappy...

[LakerHater]

This game is embarrassing!!

[Warlord23]

All Randolph is doing is sealing Bonner about 15 feet away from the basket, then spinning, receiving a pass and getting an easy look at the rim.

But don't worry, Bonner will step it up against Bynum and Odom.

[Spurs Brazil]

Ugly

[timtonymanu]

Damn we really suck without TP, Neal, and Blair.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Time for James Anderson to catch fire and save us.

[DPG21920]

Have we scored this half?

[Reck]

Can any of you tell me when the Spurs had a 20 something point lead and actually held it? As far as I can remember they always meltdown.

[FaM0us Skins]

Grizzlies took lead! Damn it

[Spurologist]

-2

[Tp9gospursgo]

C'mon Hill. Get the ball moving.

[boutons_deux]

22 point swing, and it ain't finished, yet

Is this the biggest lead blown this year?

[TampaDude]

With our injuries piling up we will not make it to the second round ...

Naaah...the playoffs are still weeks away...

[Budkin]

We're getting fucking decimated since we were up 20.

[DPG21920]

Get Bonner off the floor. They are picking on him on both ends.

[dbestpro]

Bonner's defense is beyond comprehension and Hill is trying to do toooooo much.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This is one of RJ's biggest faults imo. These moments are what he is paid so handsomely for. When one of the big 3 has an off night, especially offensively, it is his damn job to step up and put in about 18-20 points.


This is the kind of game where we need RJ to step up and start taking it hard to the hoop. Where are you RJ???

Just noticed that we said the same thing at the same time... great minds? :lol

[noles1983]

fuck you spurs, put quinn in lol

[tdunk21]

holy fuck....20 point lead gone just like that

[BanditHiro]

game over...two teams i can't stand to see the spurs lose to...the lakers and the grizzles.

[CFH]

Is the defensive strategy to foul?

[Fireball]

They're not that serious. :rolleyes No they are not, but we know that Tony is not as effective when he has some small injury here and there

[Pauleta14]

Hill needs to stop trying to be the hero

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

damn the griz are destroying the spurs.

[4>0rings]

:lmao

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill AWFUl in the 3rd. As a PG he doesn't have idea how to run the team. TERRIBLE

[Budkin]

Fuck this shit... I can't watch anymore.

[TampaDude]

Wheels coming off...

[dbestpro]

I am ready for Quinn.

[BanditHiro]

i guess parker really is our mvp...

[Mugen]

Get Bonner off the floor. They are picking on him on both ends.

2nd Best Big!

[Libri]

crappy pass by Hill

[mando6599]

who's injured????

[Texas_Ranger]

George Hill is a LOL!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow. We are playing like the Cavs right now. We've got NOTHING. :wow

[Tp9gospursgo]

Hopefully we step it up in the 4th. Someone needs to step up!!

[Spurologist]

unreal. If Blair is available, he needs to check in

[timtonymanu]

Come on Richard. Don't go back to being my most hated Spur.

[DPG21920]

Man, Rudy Gay is killing us tonight! Oh wait............

[JohnnySixString]

Maybe...this...will be the wakeup game for them, lol.

[Bill_Brasky]

Every fucking time Memphis has the ball they end up at the line. Horrendous defense and shitty offense. Words cannot express how fucking diappointed I am with this team right now, even if they pull it out and win.

[HarlemHeat37]

All Randolph is doing is sealing Bonner about 15 feet away from the basket, then spinning, receiving a pass and getting an easy look at the rim.

But don't worry, Bonner will step it up against Bynum and Odom.

I don't think anybody is advocating Bonner being the primary big against any of these guys, although, to be fair, Randolph is much better than Bynum or Odom..

[Libri]

good help defense by Tim

[mando6599]

just tuning in, anyone know what spurs are hurt and how serious?

[Mal]

What happend to blair ?

[Spurs Brazil]

Sit Hill please. Quinn can do a better job running the offense

[DPG21920]

Tim swatting flies out there.

:lol "Matt's going to have to buy Tim Dinner after tonight's game"

[FaM0us Skins]

great block by Duncan. Duncan is now 10th in all time blocks in NBA history

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This is by far the worst 15mins of basketball we've played all year. By FAR.

[Spurologist]

-7

[Crookshanks]

This tells you how important Tony is to the team - the offense just fell apart after Tony was injured.

[timtonymanu]

The injury to Tony really brought down the team, huh? They got to be stronger mentally than that.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

This is bad. We look like the worst team in the league right now....can't score, rebound, defend, pass, getting trapped, giving easy baskets.
And all this with Duncan in the game!

[noles1983]

this is hilarious, i wonder how many times if at all, a team leads by 20 and ends up losing by 20

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

timmy can play point better than hill, no kidding

[Juggity]

So far this quarter we have been outscored 21-6. This is pretty grim

[Texas_Ranger]

goodnight Spurs.

[DesignatedT]

shows you how valuable tony is to this team.

[HarlemHeat37]

As I said in a thread that was made a few weeks ago, where a lot of people picked Memphis as the preferred potential opponent for the Spurs, this is a team that Spurs fans shouldn't ask for..

The Grizzlies are a much tougher potential match up than Denver, Phoenix or Utah(also Portland, pre-Wallace, but his addition elevates them)..I don't want to see them in the 1st round, it would be a tough, physical series..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Those calling for Quinn are right - either he or Manu needs to play PG right now and actually run the team.

[dbestpro]

Spurs have not responded to the physical play of Memphis, plus a few bad calls, plus a few injuries, plus well you know the rest.

[Warlord23]

:lol Grizz shooting 34% and up 5

[JohnnySixString]

Nah, nothing wrong with the Spurs at all.

[mando6599]

The injury to Tony really brought down the team, huh? They got to be stronger mentally than that.

what happened to Tony and how serious is it?

[Reck]

Is Tony out for the game? What's this injury I'm hearing about?

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill as a PG is a fucking joke. He killed our O. TP went to the bench and we're done since then

[Fireball]

Total meltdown ... Spurs are emotionally exhausted by all the injuries and the toughness of the Grizzlies

[itzsoweezee]

domination on both ends of the floor. this is just sad.

[Libri]

The injury to Tony really brought down the team, huh? They got to be stronger mentally than that.

WTF!? Tony is hurt???

[Amuseddaysleeper]

What happened to Tony?

[Spurologist]

This game is still not out of reach. We need RJ/Hill to step up and start knocking in some shots. A defensive stop here or there wouldn't hurt. Blair needs to check Randolph if he's good to go. Bonner can't hit shit so he's useless

[mexpurs21]

This is by far the worst 15mins of basketball we've played all year. By FAR.

You can't do much with 7 real players available.

[CFH]

Bonner 3 FINALLY

[TIMMYD!]

Final-fucking-ly!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Fucking Finally BONNER!!!!

[mexpurs21]

What happened to Tony?
He fell onto one of his legs.

[mando6599]

Matty B!!!!!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

finally someone has balls.

[Reck]

Stuck on 49 forever. lol

[Spurologist]

BOOOOONNNNNERRRRRRR 3333333333333333

niiiiice

[Fireball]

What happened to Tony?

calf contusion ... nothing serious, but more and more small niggling injuries piling up on the team

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Who got injured tonight?

Damn

[CFH]

Boooooooooo turnover

[Mr Fundamental]

Bonner yeahh

[Mal]

Parker got something to his thigh or calf

[Juggity]

I've got a Bonner boner

[TampaDude]

Red Rocket...finally...we went 7 minutes without a FG...damn...without TP, we're fucked.

[HarlemHeat37]

I've only watched the last 5 minutes of this game..

How serious is TP's injury?
Are Splitter and Neal still out?

[Spurologist]

fuck Bonner...shoot the ball....u can't negate that 3. smh

[DPG21920]

Spurs need to go inside to Tim, just run it all through him. It will pay dividends in the fourth quarter.

Bonner is allowing Randolph to gobble up rebounds.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner with a great 3 and a stupid pass

[DPG21920]

yay bon

[Tp9gospursgo]

Bonner!!!!! 3333333333

[CFH]

Bonner 3 again :lol

[DarkGinobili]

Bonner

[Libri]

Blair is also hurt? I heard on the radio that he was holding his leg.

[timtonymanu]

Bonner leading the comeback.

[carina_gino20]

Just checked in. Is Tony hurt? How come he's only played 13 mins?

[Barfunk]

Lol Shawn Elliott on Dwight Howard : "now he is picking up technical fouls like he is Rasheed Wallace"

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you Battier. Fuck you.

[Juggity]

Again!!!!1

[DarkGinobili]

Manu

[DPG21920]

:lmao Manu. Type of shots that win you games like these.

[Brazil]

I've only watched the last 5 minutes of this game..

How serious is TP's injury?
Are Splitter and Neal still out?

kalf tits contusion and splitter and neal still out

[CFH]

Manu tresssssssssssssss buzzer beater!

[Spurologist]

mmmmmmmmaaaaaannnnnuuuuuu 33333333333333333333

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu thank you!

[weebo]

score?

[DarkGinobili]

Manu again

[Tp9gospursgo]

Uhh ooh! Manu again!

[Reck]

Good thing is that the grizz cant keep being this good for an entire quarter.

[blkroadrunners]

Nice Manu layup

[noles1983]

beast mode manu

[BanditHiro]

keep it going manu prove you are the mvp of our team

[Juggity]

score?

61-57 Grizz

[DPG21920]

Gino taking over, and now the sub going at Bonner and scores.

[MannyIsGod]

Maybe they can get some emotion going. They look lethargic.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Oh gotcha, all caught up

thanks guys

[mando6599]

You take the good with the bad with Manu.

[Libri]

Arthur went straight at Bonner.

[DPG21920]

Manu tres. Book it.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Bonner has to show a little resistance there, Arthur shouldn't be manhandling anybody..

[FaM0us Skins]

Bonner should be MVP

[weebo]

is bonner being bonner or is this a total team fuck up???

[007nites]

Timmy has been blocking everything.

[CFH]

Well at least that terrible quarter is over

[Warlord23]

Darrell Arthur looks like Charles Barkley against Bonner

[Tp9gospursgo]

I see a big 4th from Manu....hopefully

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Is it me or does Anderson look a little overweight

[timtonymanu]

Terrible 3rd. But great play in the last final minutes. Take no prisoners now.

[Brutalis]

So without having to go through all these pages is Duncan injured? What's the scoop?

[DPG21920]

Spurs got this. They need to ride Tim/Manu. Two man game. Then Tim needs to have a dominate defensive quarter.

[Spurologist]

slightly better play....defense still shaky....good thing Bonner knocked in some 3s because his D is trbl

[Obstructed_View]

is bonner being bonner or is this a total team fuck up???

Bonner had six of the team's 16 points in that quarter.

[TampaDude]

I guarantee you the Grizzlies will be ahead at the end of the 3rd quarter.

This was a wire game coming in, and that hasn't changed. That 20 point lead was fool's gold. Gonna be a nailbiter right down to the end. I'd say about a 90% chance of OT.

BOOK IT.

Yup...told y'all...

I hate being right sometimes... :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Worst quarter of the season. The PG Hill sucks big time

[007nites]

I think Timmy has blocked Randolph inside at least 4-5 times lol.

[timtonymanu]

It would be nice for RJ to get his head out of his ass. It would help greatly. Mr. 4th option.

[DPG21920]

Bonner had six of the team's 16 points in that quarter.

He also gave up at least 15 and 10 rebounds :lol

[boutons_deux]

for 2nd, 34d qtr, Spurs 31 vs 47

[LakerHater]

I can just see all the LoL Spurs threads already!!

[spurspokesman]

Im just logging on. We blew a 20 pt lead?

[TampaDude]

Im just logging on. We blew a 20 pt lead?

TP got hurt and left the game.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Rj!!!

[CFH]

Rj 33333333333333

[ace3g]

Rj 3

[DarkGinobili]

Jefferson

[TampaDude]

Rj!!!!!

[Spurologist]

RRRRRRRRJJJJJJJJJJ 33333333333333333333333

1st bucket

[Cant_Be_Faded]

When did Jefferson become relegated to a Finley-esque 3 point shooter only?

Where did his attacking the basket game go?

[Pauleta14]

I see a big 4th from Manu....hopefully

I hope you're right, but I see a tired Manu in the 4th

he's already 7/17 and 1/6 at the 3... :depressed

[timtonymanu]

There we go RJ.

[Libri]

RJ 3! Spurs needed that.

[Texas_Ranger]

matt bonner sucks. Thats all.
