Playoffs Game Blog: Grizzlies @ Spurs - Game 2 - April 20

[Spurs Brazil]

Great run, thanks Manu

Keep the energy up

[NewJerSpur]

Dice with the save.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

whomever said Brandon roy was the 3rd best SG before he got hurt ...Manu says ...hola!


:toast

[Killakobe81]

Battier floopping, LOL. You're better than that Shane. Props to Killakobe81.

I was just being honest, no way grizz should be expected to win two games on the Spurs floor. Manu won't allow it.

[Fireball]

Manu +12 leading the team

[Death In June]

Refs trying to make a run

[Cessation]

I pay for NBA TV, NBA league pass and I have League Pass Mobile... and it's blacked out here so i'm having to watch a live stream. I fucking hate the NBA

That sucks bro, you paying and still can't watch, while end up watching a shitty stream like the rest of us bums. I feel that.

[4>0rings]

Go sit down Manu, you only gave us this run...

[NewJerSpur]

Manu going to the bench, someone's got to pick up the slack.

[Splits]

we're up 20-4 pts off TOs and only up by 3.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

no let down now c'mon

[Blue Duck]

Can someone help me out here. I've been a Spurs fan my whole life and been reading your posts on this site daily since about 04, but I'm just now getting into this. How do you keep seeing the most recent posts in the thread in real time??

[timtonymanu]

Here we go. Spurs giving it away again.

[NickiRasgo]

Spurs is back again. lol

[NewJerSpur]

Keep executing.

[HarlemHeat37]

Manu is the only Spur playing with any energy, unfortunately..

Blair will probably bring some energy, too, but I don't know where else it's going to come from..

[noles1983]

lol spurs

[WeNeedLength]

Same script as game 1. WTF...

[4>0rings]

:lmao Spurs

Sit down Manu and they come back.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

WTF, The Grizzlies just won't die

[Spurologist]

Fools gold

[NewJerSpur]

Props to Memphis, the offense getting stagnate again.

[L.I.T]

I really hate that TP side step J when a big switches on him.

[resistanze]

Fail. Let them right back into this one.

[CFH]

Well that was fun while it lasted

[timtonymanu]

Of course Manu sits and Grizz erase away everything.

Fuckin Hill. You aint doing shit.

[024]

lmao spurs

[remingtonbo2001]

Meh...

[LakerHater]

C'mon!

[dbreiden83080]

Fuck me

[Death In June]

No ball movement

[dbreiden83080]

8 pt lead gone in about 1 min

[NewJerSpur]

We need 2010 1st Round George Hill.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu sits, there goes the leaf

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[LnGrrrR]

Two full timeouts in less than two minutes? Hm.

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs look lost.

[Barfunk]

Spurs just choking the little mini 6 point type leads they are supposed to be choking

[roycrikside]

Manu to bench, 7-0 Grizz. It's sad how much worse everyone on the team is. But please, let's have these Tony/Manu debates.

[Fireball]

Spurs are not able to sustain a solid lead before the turd towers are in the game ... can we survive that?

[blkroadrunners]

Same shit like in Gm1

[jag]

That sucks bro, you paying and still can't watch, while end up watching a shitty stream like the rest of us bums. I feel that.

It sucks. I live 5 hours away from Memphis and they blacked it out on LP Broadband, League Pass Mobile and NBAtv so Fox Sports TN can play it, but FoxSportsTN is showing the Predators playoff hockey game. What the fuck?

[Splits]

This is Matt Bonner's fault.

[davethedope]

back to reality

[NewJerSpur]

Great defense by RJ.

[L.I.T]

Hill with the shitty pass.

[Spurologist]

We need the 3pt shot

RRRRRJJJJJJJJJJJ 3333333333333333333

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Dick!!!

[Fireball]

Will Indiana George please stand up?

[LakerHater]

Thats the same spot where he coulda tied it in game 1!

[duncan228]

Can someone help me out here. I've been a Spurs fan my whole life and been reading your posts on this site daily since about 04, but I'm just now getting into this. How do you keep seeing the most recent posts in the thread in real time??

Welcome.

You have to refresh the blog, but you don't in the chat room. Hit the Chat Room link in the navigation bar at the top of the page.

[024]

this team is going to crumble in memphis..

[timtonymanu]

RJ is playing way better than any other role player this series and its not even close.

[jag]

This is Matt Bonner's fault.

:lol

[Splits]

Finally we don't over-penetrate and Hill finds a 3pt shooter. Nice knockdown RJ, where was that with 1 sec left last game? Exact same spot.

[Death In June]

Ugh Bonner

[Harry Callahan]

Terrible sequence.

[WeNeedLength]

Lane violation on Bonner. Whatta fuckhead...

[LakerHater]

Dammit!

[NewJerSpur]

Thank you Conley.

[Fireball]

RJ ... can do it from that spot ... why not in Game 1

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bonner you sorry sack of shit :bang

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner sucks

[NewJerSpur]

Good foul by Timmy.

[Death In June]

Bonner just missing the shots he supposed to miss

[rasho8]

Can the refs please let them Fucking play.

[4>0rings]

Who the fuck told Bonner to play basketball growing up. Should of played hockey or baseball.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Alright, Bonner in at the 3:49 mark, Spurs up 3.

Over/under on Memphis having the lead at the end of the third?

[itzsoweezee]

Ginger scrub

[WeNeedLength]

Lol refs acting like we are playing in Memphis. Dumb.

[Capt Bringdown]

LOL @ Pop's "keep chipping at the rock" love affair with Bonner. The worse Bonner plays, the more Pop wants to play him.

[HarlemHeat37]

Looks like Bonner peaked:lol..

[024]

matt bonner in playoff form!

[dbreiden83080]

No rythm at all

Zero

[NewJerSpur]

Conley starting to work the PnR.

[LakerHater]

FUCKIN Tiago could do a better job on Marc than FUCKIN Bonner!

[Calispursfan11]

The Grizz brought the refs with them from Memphis. Terrible calls to the point it almost seems rigged.

[jag]

No joke, if i'm drinking and watching a Spurs game, I wish horrible things on Matt Bonner.

[Spurologist]

Welcome to the game Hill

[Cessation]

Bonner just fucked up 3 plays, yes its his fault.

[NewJerSpur]

Get aggressive George.

[L.I.T]

Probably not a good sign that I immediately start cringing when Hill or Bonner get the ball.

[blkroadrunners]

Who the fuck told Bonner to play basketball growing up. Should of played hockey or baseball.

:lol

[noles1983]

hill..FAIL

[ace3g]

not liking this trend of Neal not getting significant minutes

[LakerHater]

weak georgie!

[blkroadrunners]

Darrell Arthur pwning Bonner.

[NewJerSpur]

Manu about to check back in.....

[Capt Bringdown]

F'n tweety-bird Hill and his soft play.

[Killakobe81]

Arthur making a big contribution ...

[Spurologist]

Bonner/Blair = we're fucked

[blkroadrunners]

Manu!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Gino baby.

[rasho8]

Parker OR hill. Get neil in there Fuck.

[Death In June]

Neal would be useful here.

[L.I.T]

Manuuuuuuuuu!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Again, Duncan's success against Gasol has been coming from his face-up game, he hasn't been able to get anything going with his back to the basket..he needs to stick to it..

[Killakobe81]

Manu again ...

Without him ...they aint got nada ...energy wise ...

[suitedkings]

fucking Bonner.

[noles1983]

hot garbage spurs...hot garbage

[Calispursfan11]

Just can't seem to shake these guys. Conley is amazing.

[WeNeedLength]

A Hill Bonner PnR is FUCKING TERRIBLE

[HarlemHeat37]

This team looks exactly like the 2010 regular season Spurs, IMO..

[timtonymanu]

Bench being a bitch again. George Hill is trash.

[Cessation]

Turd Towers are in, we're fucked.

[4>0rings]

The most frustrating thing I ever see on this team is when these sackless shits dribble the ball looking to pass before they ever look for a shot.

[L.I.T]

Matt Bonner.

Watching Hill and Bonner trying to run a PnR is like watching circus clowns.

[Spurologist]

Hiiiiilllllllllllll 333333333333333333333

[blkroadrunners]

Huge shot from George.

[rasho8]

Please get bonner
out and put Fucking Tiago in. Jesus Christ

[NewJerSpur]

George Hill sighting.

[jag]

What a worthless piece of shit Matt Bonner is.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill is a disgrace running the offense. He's total garbage

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Conley.... :(

[Killakobe81]

Manu is the "anti-Roy" all heart, balls and is nails in the clutch.

[noles1983]

scrubs like conley and arthur have no business being this effective

[Fireball]

this lead is not big enough to survive Bonner and Blair

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bonner and Blair in together. :td Memphis getting whatever they want, Conley in the paint. Jumpers from Gasol and Arthur.

Fuck you Pop.

[Capt Bringdown]

Hey Pop, the Grizzlies have figured out McMummy/Bonnerball/turd towers. Why don't you try something different?

[HarlemHeat37]

Here we go, 1 quarter remaining, it's all-in here..

[CFH]

Another heart attack game, great

[NewJerSpur]

Did Battier even get that shot off? At least we get the ball to start the 4th. Props to Memphis. Keep showing up Georgie.

[LakerHater]

11-0 run & let'em right back into it.... FUCK!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

not liking this trend of Neal not getting significant minutes

What did you expect? He doesn't have that "corporate knowledge"!!!

[mexicanjunior]

If Splitter played even half of Bonner's minutes, we win this game going away...

[4>0rings]

Manu is the "anti-Roy" all heart, balls and is nails in the clutch.
Lmao

A whole page of shitting on the Spurs by Spurfan and the only one giving props is a Lakerfan. :tu

[WildcardManu]

Why are Bonner and RJ so scared of shooting or driving in? Everyone plays so tentative and defer to others... no one is on the attack but Manu.

[Killakobe81]

Yall better stop hating on Hill ...we will gladly trade you Steve MMA Blake for Hill and throw in RJ's loverboy for free ...

[Cessation]

Seriously, spurs have no interior d with bonner/blair, its a fucking layup drill for the grizzlies. Dumbass pop hoping he can outscore them.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hill is a disgrace running the offense. He's total garbage

To be fair, he's stuck out there with two guys who can't shoot and Memphis isn't even pretending to guard (Blair and Bonner).

And RJ is afraid to shoot.

Sucks going one on three.

[jag]

Just can't seem to shake these guys. Conley is amazing.

dont ever say that again

[rasho8]

Hey Pop, the Grizzlies have figured out McMummy/Bonnerball/turd towers. Why don't you try something different?

It wouldn't be fair to the Fucking sweat mopper or some shit.

[024]

lmao spur fans still hoping for splitter, the messiah, the enter the game. this team's front line is trash and playing splitter isn't going to change that.

[Libri]

Yall better stop hating on Hill ...we will gladly trade you Steve MMA Blake for Hill and throw in RJ's loverboy for free ...

pass

[Texas_Ranger]

Hill looks like 05 Beno

[spurspokesman]

Matt Bonner.

Watching Hill and Bonner trying to run a PnR is like watching circus clowns.

This

[NewJerSpur]

Get Neal the ball and move out of his way, says Doug Collins.

[Spurs Brazil]

I hope we can survive the Turd Towers to start the 4th.

Memphis got 6 easy points with them in

[Calispursfan11]

The Blair/Bonner dwarf towers need to prove themselves now!

[boutons_deux]

Conley is only Grizz in double figs, but several others with 8 or 9

[Fireball]

If Splitter played even half of Bonner's minutes, we win this game going away...

we actually do not know that ... but will never find out by not trying

[LakerHater]

dunno if I could stomach this shit!

[Harry Callahan]

Bonner is not a 20-25 minute per game player. He plays no defense.

[NewJerSpur]

Matt Booner baby.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

About time Bonner

[Killakobe81]

This is a tense game and it's the playoffs it should be ...Spurs get by the Grizzas they should, they will already be in playoff intensity mode.

Except for TO's I dont think spurs are playing that bad ...

[Spurologist]

Boooooonnnneeeerrrrr 333333333333333

[Capt Bringdown]

lmao spur fans still hoping for splitter, the messiah, the enter the game. this team's front line is trash and playing splitter isn't going to change that.

Would be he worse than what we've got? So much so that he doesn't even deserve a look? LMAO at your complete fail.

[rasho8]

Bet bonner did something useful!!

[resistanze]

Red rocket.

[Fireball]

Gasol and Conley already played 32+ minutes

[WildcardManu]

I don't believe in this team, I believe in Manu.

[DMC]

Snowman...

[Harry Callahan]

OOOOps

[jag]

go fuck yourself MATT!!

[dallasmaverickslose]

Why is splitter on this time? Pop treats him like he doesn't even play for us

[Reck]

I'm starting to think, even if Spurs win this game which I doubt. They will lose the series.

Looks like Memphis got into their head and are owning to their believe they could take Spurs out.

[Calispursfan11]

Neal!!!

[DMC]

Neal with that

[blkroadrunners]

:lmao Neal!

[HarlemHeat37]

That was the worst successful possession in Spurs history:lol:lol..

[Death In June]

lol Tiagos expression

[CFH]

So sloppy

[NewJerSpur]

Game on, Spurs on a roll.

[mingus]

First fuckin thing bonners done all night

[ace3g]

a Lucky Neal with it

[rasho8]

Neal is a fucking man.

[LakerHater]

Neal!

[Libri]

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lmao Gary Neal.

[L.I.T]

Oh. My. God. Neal.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol What a horrible possession. Thank you Neal

[TDfan2007]

Tim needs to stop posting up...especially against Gasol. I can't believe I'm saying this.

[Capt Bringdown]

Gary Neal and his BALLS OF STEAL

[Juggity]

Gary Neal! That was a sick shot

[NewJerSpur]

Rebound.

[LakerHater]

Hopefully Spurs can keep it up !

[Calispursfan11]

Zach Randolph owning Blair

[4>0rings]

:lmao @ the person who said McMummy

[jag]

zach Randolph getting whatever he wants

[NewJerSpur]

I love you Manu.

[dallasmaverickslose]

I would love to have som defense in the post. Get tiagio the fuck in there

[Fireball]

Gary fucking Neal at the end of the shot clock ... whew

[Killakobe81]

LOL Manu had Battier on skates ...

[Thompson]

Oh. My. God. Neal.

What?! What did he do? @#$^ NBATV @##^%^&!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Damn Manu.....1 time.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

As much as Pop has been about defense, you'd think watching Gasol and Randolph making shot after shot over short little Blair and bitch ass Bonner he'd at least try some Splitter.

[Spurologist]

Was Randolph an allstar this year....DAMN

manu 6/9FT :pctoss

[Harry Callahan]

Randolf can score just about any time he wants.

[mexicanjunior]

More missed free throws...Spurs trying really hard to give this game away...

[noles1983]

gay ass country noise after manu ft...wtf?

[davethedope]

bad timeout. You need those at the end of the game.

[rasho8]

Pop is mad because his line up sucks. STFU and add a real big... Fuck.

[LakerHater]

No post Defense!!

[Killakobe81]

Grizz taking advantage of the non-defenders ...Neal and Bonner ...

[Harry Callahan]

No FFn defense. Terrible. They simply can't get stops with Blair and Bonner out there. The shots are not even contested anymore. Yuck.

[dallasmaverickslose]

We have NO post defense whatsoever. I wonder why?

[NewJerSpur]

Come on Grizz, go back to shooting jumpshots.....come'on Mayo, jack one up for the gipper.

[Calispursfan11]

dont ever say that again

Reverse jinx hopefully.

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Pop upset at giving up layups when he has the Turd Towers lineup in the game

[Capt Bringdown]

As much as Pop has been about defense, you'd think watching Gasol and Randolph making shot after shot over short little Blair and bitch ass Bonner he'd at least try some Splitter.

Memphis must have a huge advantage in points in the paint.

[Cessation]

Get up in that ass, Pop, it's the least you could do.

[Spurs Brazil]

Too easy for them inside.

Put TD back after the timeout. He had enough rest during the regular season

[jag]

Pop can scream at Bonner and Blair as much as he wants but it's not going going to make Blair grow and it's not going to make Matt black and athletic.

[VaSpursFan]

can we get a splitter sighting, please....

[DMC]

LOL Pop bitching about interior defense when he's got a 7' defender on the bench and fucking Matt fucking Bonner in the game.

[Banzai]

Dang..going to be another close game.

[Cessation]

Whats this lakerfan doing here?

[Fireball]

now is the time to get Duncan back in the game ... managing minutes is not a good thing when you're down 0-1 in a playoff series

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lmao

Pop upset at giving up layups when he has the Turd Towers lineup in the game

This.

Are you that shocked Pop? Blair is too short, and Bonner has never blocked a shot in his life.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Blair wtf?

[Death In June]

Sick of seeing Blairs shit stuffed.

[NewJerSpur]

Good call on Neal.

[Fireball]

Whats this lakerfan doing here?

he is okay ... he likes Manu

[4>0rings]

Wow Neal, it's not going to be a charge when you're still in FULL SPRINT

[Killakobe81]

Young blocked Blair again?

[mexicanjunior]

LOL...small forwards rejecting Blair at the rim. He needs to throw at least 5 pump fakes before any layup attempts from now on.

[Calispursfan11]

OMG Blair gets stuffed easily. He can't be any taller than 6-4, literally.

[pjjrfan]

When are they going to learn Blair can't finish, his teammate blocked him.

[VaSpursFan]

love blair, but he's too small for this big ass frontline from memphis

[jag]

He's fucking 6'6" POP!!!

[mFFL03]

lol OKC is going to the conference finals

[Harry Callahan]

What a pile of shit Blair is tonight.

[dallasmaverickslose]

What would it take for pop to put tiago in the game??

[Capt Bringdown]

Memphis just minutes away from destroying the Spurs season if Pop doesn't get his shit together.

[ffadicted]

blair is just so awful in the offensive end... why not fucking splitter... also every single time we go on a run, they just answer right fucking back and close the gap/take the lead... ugh

[Cessation]

Has blair ever heard of a pumpfake?

[NewJerSpur]

Manu to the rescue.

[weebo]

Get Duncan in there you asshole

[sexinthatsx]

i hate bonner so much...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Let's get Duncan in this game bfore Blair and or Bonner fuck up this lead

[Killakobe81]

I like Manu, TD Hill and Pop ...

I hate Frenchy though ...

[pjjrfan]

That''s really smart rest tim until they get the lead back and then bring him in.

[Arc]

The lord of no rings: The turd towers

[Supergirl]

4th foul on Randolph...

[L.I.T]

In other news, Spurs are just killing themselves in this series with their FT performance.

[biskvito]

Lebron's lost sibling playing for Memphis ? (#4)

[NewJerSpur]

Good going Matt.

[Cessation]

he is okay ... he likes Manu

Ah..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

George Hill for 33333333333333

[Supergirl]

WTF is going on with Manu's FTs...he's usually our best FT shooter.

[CFH]

Wow Hill 3

[Spurologist]

HHHHIiiiiiilllllllllll 33333333333333333

[Juggity]

holy shit big shot

[noles1983]

iupui!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What would it take for pop to put tiago in the game??

Season ending injuries to Bonner, Dice, Blair, and Richard Jefferson.

[Killakobe81]

Bonner follows a great steal with a dumb foul ...

[Calispursfan11]

Blair would be HUGE in the under 6 foot league.

[itzsoweezee]

aaah, Boner

[LakerHater]

Fuck you matt bonner!!!!
