Playoffs Game Blog: Spurs @ Grizzlies - Game 4 - April 25

[NewJerSpur]

Conley=clutch

Tony still getting no calls.

[ElNono]

Tony keeps going under the screen :pctoss

[baseline bum]

Nice work going under, TP.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

The hole is being dug

[MannyIsGod]

Nice take by Manu.

[Obstructed_View]

Finally.

[hitmanyr2k]

no foul!!!?

Parker is initiating all the contact and leaning into the defender so he can't shot block. Good no call.

Edit: replay just proved my point.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs are so spooked they can't even catch the ball.

[rascal]

I feel like throwing up.

You loser. Anyone who believed the regular season was an indicator that the Spurs were a championship team deserves the pain.

[peskypesky]

So frustrating to watch.

i'm going to do my part by turning the game off. sometimes, when i stop watching them, the spurs mount a come-back. so i'll give it a desparation try.

adios, fellow Spurs fans!!!

:flag::flag::flag:

[IronMaxipad]

Weak call. refs tryin to get the spurs back into the game

[007nites]

Timmy and McDyess are confused lol

[Crookshanks]

I can't believe the Spurs just gave up. What happened to the team that won 60 games? This team looks demoralized and downtrodden. This is worse than the series against the Suns.

[timvp]

Manu holding his elbow.

Worse to worser.

[dunkman]

Parker and Manu will get the Spurs back in the game ! ! !
GO Spurs GO ! ! !

IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL IS OVER ! ! !

[DPG21920]

Cut this lead down, then explode. Make some got damn shots.

[EmantheSpursFan]

RJ needs to step his game up

[Nathan89]

We can't afford to take the Starters out. They need to suck it up and go.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Lets go guys. Keep driving.

[ElNono]

Manu stat padding...

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Neal in = desperation mode

[NewJerSpur]

Still time. Timmy!!

[GSH]

How did Conley keep that ball without travelling?

[VaSpursFan]

will the real spurs please show up

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice. We're not done yet.

[hitmanyr2k]

Told you those MFs would make a run. Didn't think it would be so soon.

[EmantheSpursFan]

Duncan Dunking

[DPG21920]

Ya! Get fucking Big on 'em.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

"Hey father time, fuck you"

- Tim Duncan

[baseline bum]

Alright. TD doubles his scoring on one play!

[spurspokesman]

Bout time

[Bulwark]

There ya go Duncan no soft shit.

[ffadicted]

Attaboy Timmy, 5 point game, we can do it

[Juggity]

YES! Timmy!

[Capt Bringdown]

Can RJ do something? Anything?

[MannyIsGod]

5 point game.

The Spurs have played like absolute garbage and are within 5. Lets fucking GO.

[007nites]

Could they have finally woken up?

[Mal]

Wow no FT for Memphis and we have rerun for Spurs;

[DesignatedT]

alright. come on guys. building is dead, this is the time to get back in it.

[u4lakers14]

Memphis can be physical with our guards, but we can't breathe on their bigs.

i know man!!!

yall' was wobbed!!!!

[Trill Clinton]

I despise tony allen


and I despise that monstrosity of a haircut of his. That is a horrible fade:lol

[fotan2]

whatever, i had enough of this game.

off to play some COD.

[Libri]

Good job Tim!

[siraulo23]

Good job responding
Hopefully its not too late

Cmon

[024]

grizzlies' defense is strangling the spurs. spurs' inability to respond with their own defensive intensity will be death of the spurs. they might get a few points here and there but it's pointless if the grizzlies keep scoring so efficiently.

[timvp]

Don't bury that body just yet.

Though keep the body on ice.

[SPURSCHAMP]

Timmah!

[ElNono]

(Awaits Pop to roll in Bonner and Blair, and call it a season)

[Fireball]

nice Timmy ...

[Supergirl]

Spurs digging in and playing through this terribly officiated game...terribly officiated series.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

one-armed FTs incoming

[CFH]

At least the Spurs are making a comeback. I imagine the Grizz will go on a run of their own soon.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finally

[Muser]

Spurs fucking with my heart..

[MannyIsGod]

Since I know DPG loves SILVER LININGS, the one to this situation is that if the Spurs come back to win its a hell of a way to build momentum going forward.

[NewJerSpur]

Weak call. refs tryin to get the spurs back into the game

Other way around, Gasol bodying guards and slapping at the ball.

Manu is heating up and keeping us in this game.

[baseline bum]

I can't believe the Spurs just gave up. What happened to the team that won 60 games? This team looks demoralized and downtrodden. This is worse than the series against the Suns.

28 of those were in November and December (28-4). This Spurs team isn't a typical 1-seed.

[Nathan Explosion]

I see the Spurs playing smart ball and executing well in spurts. But then they revert and make dumb plays and difficult passes. What's so hard about making the simple pass to the open man. Every play doesn't have to be spectacular, just well executed.

[mexicanjunior]

RJ needs to step his game up

I think this will be an often used qoute for the remainder of his ridiculous contract...nice extension.

[Tp9gospursgo]

How did Conley keep that ball without travelling?

[wildbill2u]

playing scared, soft, slow, no defense, with no fire, retarded coach = recipe for losing.

scared is right. Wont take the open 3s. no confidence. bad passing. at this point in game we deserve to lose.

[GSH]

Weak call. refs tryin to get the spurs back into the game


Is there just no cock to suck in the state of California tonight, or what?

[DontStopBelieving]

I knew our wins wouldn't translate to the playoffs, but my god I can't believe how bad it has gotten.

We are struggling against an 8 seed, and it is looking LIKELY that this will end in 5. There are no fluke shots for the Grizzlies going in, just plain domination on both ends of the court.

It is sickening.

[Spurologist]

TD resurrected.....Yesssssssssssss

[NewJerSpur]

Don't bury that body just yet.

Though keep the body on ice.

:lol

[Mal]

28 of those were in November and December (28-4). This Spurs team isn't a typical 1-seed.

And Memphis isnt typical 8th seed, but who cares

[Bill_Brasky]

We just survived a huge run by Grizzlies, but the Q's not over yet. We're still in foul trouble. How about a timely 3 from Neal?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Fuck yes!!

[bonesinaz]

:flag:Tim is still pretty good. Spurs finding a little rythmn.

[Supergirl]

why no Blair? is he ok?

[DPG21920]

Since I know DPG loves SILVER LININGS, the one to this situation is that if the Spurs come back to win its a hell of a way to build momentum going forward.

:lol

Why u mad at me? I root as hard as anyone, I'm just not a raging homer and post my takes how I see them.

[quickerblade]

spurs fans are the most melting down motherfuckers ever.

[ElNono]

http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/5100/235668489.gif

How far we've come, Pop, uh?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

The bleeding has stopped

[silverblk mystix]

Spurs need to survive this 3rd qtr penalty bs and get to the 4th still close to be able to pull this one out...


but FUCK!!!!!!

[kjhip1]

its amazing how good they look when tim and Manu play the pick and roll...make conley hit that j all game...they need to keep cheating under the pick...

[Bill_Brasky]

Manu/Tony: Keep penetrating, start finding open 3pt shooters.

[Nathan89]

why no Blair? is he ok?

No he sucks.

[GSH]

scared is right. Wont take the open 3s. no confidence. bad passing. at this point in game we deserve to lose.


Give Gary Neal an open look. He won't be afraid to shoot it.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

spurs fans are the most melting down motherfuckers ever.

you are the most motherfucking ever :whine

[DPG21920]

Pop reached desperation before the team. Glad to see them catch up.

[024]

if the spurs slip up one more time on defense, grizzlies are going to blow this game wide open.

[Fireball]

We are struggling against an 8 seed, and it is looking LIKELY that this will end in 5

I really think Spurs would look better against the Lakers ... Grizzlies are the murder matchup

[DPG21920]

Dice with a major brick.

[Death In June]

More TOs

[Tp9gospursgo]

Fuck you RJ!

[NewJerSpur]

why no Blair? is he ok?

Not playing well this series.

[DPG21920]

I want to punch TP in the face.

[ElNono]

Holy.Fuck.Tony.Parker

[CFH]

Another goddamn turnover

[GSH]

That's what we needed there... McDyess taking a jumper from one step inside the 3-P line.

[ffadicted]

as;dkjf;aslkjas;lfiaskjfalgjnaslkjfhadg;ljhjadgf;o sdfg

[u4lakers14]

refs fault spur cant catch

[siraulo23]

man missed opportunity

[Quiet Strength]

Dumb shot and then a turn over.. morons

[Splits]

Dice with Neal WIDE open in the corner and jacks up a 19 footer. Tony with SEVEN fucking TOs. Spurs don't seem to want this. Playing so stupid

[Juggity]

Christ, Tony

[Refocus]

These.Turnovers.Are.Killing.Me.

[Spurologist]

:pctoss

FUCK FUCK

[mexicanjunior]

LOL...Parker throwing passes like Jamarcus Russell...

[baseline bum]

Parker is fucking worthless tonight.

[Bill_Brasky]

FUCKING DICE, coulda worked that over to Gary in the corner. And motherfucking Parker with another retarded TO. Spurs don't make those kind of mistakes.

[Reck]

Tony is a joke.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Is it a surprise that the Spurs aren't close to par when Manu is not on the floor?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

the turnovers have to be controlled a little bit - Memphis is stepping up on D

[NewJerSpur]

Spurs can't get to looseballs, Grizz get to every looseball.

[Capt Bringdown]

TP's TOs have murdered us, so frustrating.

[Tp9gospursgo]

And Duncan with an and 1...

[DontStopBelieving]

Why the fuck does Parker suck so hard at passing?

Seriously?

We had a little bit of momentum and it was completely killed by Tony. Why the fuck we took out Manu at this critical of a point in the game is beyond me.

[Libri]

Pop looked like he was having a aneurysm.

[DPG21920]

Have to keep rebounding and can't turn it over if you want to win.

[ElNono]

Tony... wtf?????

[blkroadrunners]

Tough shot by Duncan

[hitmanyr2k]

Conley playing out of his mind.

[ffadicted]

what the fuck weak D is this

[EmantheSpursFan]

someone please give rj some Velcro gloves

[Reck]

Fuck you RJ!

What is he supposed to do? Catch bullet too? The fuck..

[NewJerSpur]

Dice with Neal WIDE open in the corner and jacks up a 19 footer. Tony with SEVEN fucking TOs. Spurs don't seem to want this. Playing so stupid

All sad.

[ElNono]

Over the fucking screen

[u4lakers14]

Spurs can't get to looseballs, Grizz get to every looseball.

refs fault?

[Texas_Ranger]

Spurs should trade Tony for Conley.

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan out-hustled there....fuck.

[MannyIsGod]

Really? Jesus.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Wow no over the back call?

[Spursfanfromafar]

Actually the Grizz are doing nothing extraordinary. They just find the Spurs defense hardly intimidating.

[Splits]

Conley > Parker. Unbeevable.

Duncan getting pushed around by Gasol

[SpurOutofTownFan]

what a warm body is RJ

[NewJerSpur]

Loose balls KILLING SA.

[ffadicted]

What the fuck Duncan.....

[IronMaxipad]

Duncan getting Bullied!

[Capt Bringdown]

Wow, Conley looking like a Hall of famer against us.

[Quiet Strength]

wtf this game is most likely the season for the spurs.. manu has to come back in the game.

[cheney212]

fucking rebound jesus christ were pussies

[BanditHiro]

unless the lakers lose the series against the hornets...how many are you going to stop posting at spurstalk for a while?

[Libri]

That is fucking messed up!

[DPG21920]

Spurs have to keep this single digits. Spurs letting Mem get to everything. Tim with a colossal f up.

[GSH]

That's what we need... a heavy dose of Gary Neal.

[John Basedow]

Gasol took Duncan's manhood

[InRareForm]

GRizz seem to get every bounce

[NewJerSpur]

refs fault?

Sort of.

[Supergirl]

BS foul on Duncan.

[ElNono]

that was a foul on Tim... mugged by Battier

[LnGrrrR]

refs fault?

Didn't I exile you?

[EmantheSpursFan]

Wow

[Tp9gospursgo]

This is fucking bull shit...

[ffadicted]

.... how the fuck is that a foul on Duncan

[SpurOutofTownFan]

TD has to fucking wake up right now - he's like dragging himself around now

[mexicanjunior]

LOL...Gasol taking ball away from Duncan and throwing no looker in...this is Ali vs Holmes...he should retire after Game 5...don't want to remember him like this...

[Bill_Brasky]

Seriously? Fuck these refs. Battier completely fouled Duncan there.

[boutons_deux]

Holy shit, WTF is wrong with these guys hands?

[DPG21920]

Every loose ball and lucky bounce leads to a run stopper for Memphis. It's unreal.

[roycrikside]

Tim looks sooooo old and glacial. This is depressing.

[Sisk]

This is fucking ridiculous.

[Refocus]

What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[MannyIsGod]

No one is going to agree, but right now McDyess is a waste of space on the court and we should put Bonner in.

[hitmanyr2k]

The Grizz are playing like it's Game 7 and the Spurs are playing like it's Game 1.

[siraulo23]

Spurs cant come up with lose balls

[Pauleta14]

ok this is too obvious, the refs are just says fuck you to the spurs...

Duncan is treated like a rookie, it's insane...

[Supergirl]

Dice has a bloody nose but still can't get a fucking foul call. Pathetic.

[Oh, Gee!!]

spurs getting outspurred

[Isitjustme?]

As good as Tony has been scoring the ball, his ball handling/errant passes are killing us.

[IronMaxipad]

lol blaming the refs

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck

TOs killing us

[SpurOutofTownFan]

this game is dangerously slipping away now - Spurs's heads are not quite there yet

[ElNono]

Maybe Pop will make the huge adjustment of asking Tony to go over the screen on Conley next game...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The Grizz are playing like it's Game 7 and the Spurs are playing like it's Game 1.

sums it up

[MannyIsGod]

that was a foul on Tim... mugged by Battier

I think it was a bad call but I also think it was stupid of Duncan to bring the ball down and I think it was a very stupid pass by AD. He needs to shoot that from 4 feet away and not try to fucking pass into traffic.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Lets go guys! Fight through this!

[DPG21920]

Memphis won't fold. Time to stop praying for that. Spurs have to take it. They have to keep this lead to single digits.

[Spurologist]

life sucks

[NewJerSpur]

This is fucking bull shit...

Refs thought about giving it to Tim, converged, and remembered the game is in Memphis.

[ElNono]

No one is going to agree, but right now McDyess is a waste of space on the court and we should put Bonner in.

If you're gonna do that, play Splitter...

[Spursfanfromafar]

Outhustled, Outmaneuvered, Out-thought.

[EmantheSpursFan]

Burn rj

[ElNono]

wow... just wow...

[IronMaxipad]

Splitter is IN!!!

[Quiet Strength]

lol spurs are back to playing like pussies

[Spursfanfromafar]

I would have so used Shane Battier instead of Richard Jefferson on the Spurs today :(

[DPG21920]

I hate everyone.

[Texas_Ranger]

Bonner time bithches!!!!!!!

[Bulwark]

P i t i f u lll

[CFH]

Oh yeah, another turnover!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Bonner is a fucking idiot.

[Fireball]

Lets go guys! Fight through this!

this ... it is not over yet

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Pop's face on that last turn over was priceless

[cheney212]

GAME OVER SERIES OVER....sigh

[Refocus]

This is getting fucking ridiculous.

[NewJerSpur]

That was dumb Matt.

[Capt Bringdown]

No one is going to agree, but right now McDyess is a waste of space on the court and we should put Bonner in.

Agreed. Dice has a huge following, he's a nice guy and all that, but he's way past his expiration date. Unbelievable that some were calling for him to stay on another year.

[MannyIsGod]

Hill getting double teamed and NO one fucking comes back until right before a 5SV. Jesus christ.

[Jelloisjigglin]

Damn, our farm team can play some serious D.

[John Basedow]

RJ :lmao

[xellos88330]

How difficult is it to hold on to the god damned ball. The Spurs ball movement is non existent because the recipient of the pass cannot hold the fucking thing.


WAKE THE FUCK UP GUYS!!!

[IronMaxipad]

:lmao great defense

[OoOoOoOoOoO]

fuck this shit

[Mal]

Great play after timeout

[Spurologist]

implosion

[EmantheSpursFan]

SPURS on a SILVER Platter

[ffadicted]

You know what.... spurs don't deserve this, I'm so close to just being done. Memphis is outplaying them in every way

[ElNono]

lol going @ Bonner immediately

[Death In June]

Bonner, RJ, Hill can't even inbound the ball. Bitches.

[Oh, Gee!!]

One step forward, then two steps back

[DPG21920]

Memphis is playing phenomenal basketball.

[baseline bum]

God, and Hill is 10x as bad as Parker.

[Avitus1]

Such garbage.

[mexicanjunior]

unless the lakers lose the series against the hornets...how many are you going to stop posting at spurstalk for a while?

After this season and the pending lockout...no real need to post on the Spurs forum for a few years until we draft the next franchise player. This team will be the Golden State Warriors very soon...

[MannyIsGod]

Bonner is a fucking idiot.

Compltely not on Bonner. No one came back to help until way too late.

[mexpurs21]

Fuck you RJ, Fuck you Bonner

[OoOoOoOoOoO]

we should rest the starters for next year

[Mal]

Fishing time

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner and RJ for 3 more years!!!!

[Pauleta14]

what???

a call AGAINST Memphis????

[DPG21920]

Big 3 has to play the entire 4th.

[MannyIsGod]

fucking HILL. Jesus.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bonner and Jefferson combining for the solid turnover out of the timeout.

:td

[Libri]

Hill you suck!

[baseline bum]

Nice possession; Hill is a natural PG.

[ElNono]

Hill the point guard /facepalm

[hitmanyr2k]

FUCK!! What the fuck is going on here?

[Dexter..]

I stopped watching this shit 15 minutes ago.

[Crookshanks]

Memphis is not making any mistakes. They're playing tough and physical and getting every single break. Hard to win a game against a team that has everything going for them. It just usually evens out over a series, but Memphis has had the mojo from the very beginning and they just keep rolling along. VERY frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bulwark]

Stare at him HILL

[Tp9gospursgo]

No free throws for Splitter? Wow.

[Texas_Ranger]

Hahahahaha. This is so funny. :rollin

[ffadicted]

Fantastic shot there guys, followed by even better defense

[itzsoweezee]

You Cannot take Ginobili out of this game. YOu fucking piece of shit, Popovih.

[Uriel]

This is so painfully difficult to watch.

[IronMaxipad]

Arthur jizzin all ova the spurs

[hitmanyr2k]

Holy shit if that had gone down the roof would have come off.

[EmantheSpursFan]

well it was a great season...

[NewJerSpur]

Need a tremendous 4th from Tim and Tony, the TO's and looseballs are killers right now.

[Death In June]

No fucking heart. Scared and rattled, losing the ball on every possession. Absolutely gutless. Spurs now the biggest chokers in Texas.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

mmm i think this game is over - unless the spurs grow 4 balls each this is out of reach - the energy is lacking big time

[siraulo23]

Man fucking make that Mayo, it would just be appropriate

[Avitus1]

Can't wait until the Thunder annihilate the Grizzlies.

[DPG21920]

Hats off, Memphis. All the way tipped now.

What a gutless quarter. Lets see if they can have a heroic one.

[VaSpursFan]

this shit is pathetic. i've never seen the spurs look so damned confused. pop really has no idea what to do. again, lionel fucking hollins is outcoaching pop yet again.

[IronMaxipad]

Grizz lock down defense

[cheney212]

spurs act like the dont even want to win what the fuck wheres the god damn energy

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Looks like the Spurs are getting old right in front of our eyes. Sad I didn't think this would happen so fast.

[boutons_deux]

Season's over, Spurs really got nothing, nothing at all.

Grizz are playing all our guys tight, and Spurs play back so loose. WTF?

[Spursfanfromafar]

Has to be a miracle for the Spurs to win this one in the 4th quarter. If they win this - unlikely - they will win the series.

[ElNono]

Let's see 4 ring coach outcoaching the newbie coach in the 4th...

[MannyIsGod]

Turnovers are the story. The Grizz are dominating the Spurs because of them. Its going to take a heroic performance to win this game at this point.

I hate to say it, but Grizz are probably just the better team. 8th seed or not, the Grizz might just be the better team.

[Spurologist]

I'm laughing and crying at the same time

[Chomag]

Sorry guys but I just got to take off my hommer glasses here and see that this team is just not a very good team. =/

[Admidave50]

This 3rd qtr was fucking embarrassing!

[CFH]

Damn, don't know if the Spurs have what it takes to turn this around. I guess we'll see.

[Fireball]

Props to Memphis ... they play great basketball ... has Arthur ever missed a jumper?

[Manu20]

wow
