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

[DPG21920]

Tim/TP/Manu have to play the entire 4th. Put Neal in with them.

[Bulwark]

Same story as last season... Old, tired, unathletic, no size inside

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hey Pop, the season is on the line. Quit running your lineups and minutes like it's a regular fucking season game.

[baseline bum]

Hahahah.... you can't help but laugh at such epic failure. It's shit seasons like this that made the 4 LOB's so much fun.

[Libri]

I'm laughing and crying at the same time

It's a tragic comedy.

[The Btown Spur]

This is pathetic, hard to watch us play this bad. No one is playing worth a damn

[mexicanjunior]

Memphis has had the mojo from the very beginning and they just keep rolling along. VERY frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They actually captured it the night Pop made the brilliant move to send his starters out in Phoenix in a meaningless game...Manu injury was all the Grizz needed to take this series.

[roycrikside]

Richard Jefferson is fucking terrible. He's a mental midget. He's soft. He can't handle the pressure of of being on a good team. It's obvious. The later in the season it got the worse he played, knowing the playoffs were coming. He should've stayed on Milwaukee where he would've been irrelevant forever.

Trading for him was the death knell of this franchise as a contender. He is the biggest pussy to ever wear a Spurs uniform. He makes Beno Udrih look like Kevin Willis, tbh. I'm never gonna forgive Pop and RC for trading for him. Never.

I've known he was mentally soft since 2003 when he let Manu, who was a rookie, just shit all over him in the Finals. God I'm so pissed.

[tmtcsc]

Why do I do this to myself ? The Spurs suck so bad. Piece of shit Grizzlies up 13 on us ?

We have no guts and are throwing the ball all over the place. Fucking Barkley was right. I am so disgusted. Fuck these chumps.

We're toast. Can't pass, can't shoot, can't dribble. Down 3-1. Shame, shame shame.

Be sure to watch the Thunder. They have the attitude, skills, talent and guts to fight.

[Beaverfuzz]

Memphis is not the better team, they're just a different matchup for the Spurs. That and some very very very shitty ball handling by at least four different Spurs just in the last four minutes alone!

[Spursfanfromafar]

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

You said it.

Funnily, it is not just the old who have gotten older. The young'ins play like toddlers. Not a great combo - geriatric tendencies + infantile work.

[vanvannen]

I never in my life have seen a softer Spurs team than this one. It's just painful.

[El Wray]

Time to whip out the poles..

[TDfan2007]

Again, Memphis is better. Sucks...

[Capt Bringdown]

Gasol trade keeps kicking our ass at every turn.
Lakers own the Spurs down to the molecular level.

[Spurologist]

It still amazes how the Grizz have prevented us from taking 3 pointers.

I tip my hat to them

[itzsoweezee]

Manu, Tony, and Duncan better play the rest of this fucking game.

[IronMaxipad]

More splitter please

[boutons_deux]

Grizz were right to fall to 8th.

out coaching and out playing.

Where is the Spurs' "playoff intensity"?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Energy lacking
Memphis wants it more than the Spurs
Spurs have 2-3 warm bodies walking like zombies

This is the time of going by the 3s because on D the Spurs arent stopping anyone tonight

[ElNono]

They play defense... the good news is that every time a team beat Pop in the playoffs, Pop went that way... Small ball after Avery/Dallas, run and gun after last season... hopefully he learns something from this embarrassing shit

[slick'81]

damn we might be witnessing the end of an era

[hitmanyr2k]

The Spurs have one more run in them. They better make it fuckin count.

[DPG21920]

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.

Absolutely not.

[Spursmania]

It's a tragic comedy.

[Oh, Gee!!]

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

Cia pop has him right where he wants him.

[td4mvp21]

This is so weird to see. I never thought I'd see the day when the Spurs were mentally weak.

[Dex]

Spurs have no answer for Memphis when they are hitting shots. They commit all their resources to blocking off the inside, and the Grizzlies refuse to miss from the perimeter.

[WeNeedLength]

You fuckers still watching this game??????!?! Don't you realize it was over when they came out at the beginning of the 3rd with the Grizz coming out with a 16-2 run to start? Whoever said their record was fool's gold was absolutely fucking right. That and this is a reincarnation of the Mavs-Warriors from 2007. Sometimes the shit just hits the fan with matchups.

[Texas_Ranger]

Will we give Matt an extention after this playoffs??
And I really hope we sign some 6'5 center.

[007nites]

We could use I shot of Blair right now. Everyone seems to be fumbling the ball.

[ffadicted]

Lockout next season, it's time to rebuild boys. Sorry timmy, but the way you're dragging your feet out there is just hard to watch, your time is done. Hope to see real spurs basketball in the next 5 years, not expecting to. God bless

[Tp9gospursgo]

We need steve Kerr right now.

[tdunk21]

spurs still in regular season mode.....smh

[Texas_Ranger]

Will we give Matt an extention after this playoffs??
And I really hope we sign some 6'5 center.

[Horse]

Fuck all of you who don't admit what we just saw. The zebras set the tone put us in the penalty on all this tick tack bullshit, they are allowed to play physical we are not it's fucking bullshit once we were in the penalty we literally could'nt play D. Fuck this league!

[Cessation]

Through out the season this is what putting time and energy into guys like blair and bonner has brought. Can't say I didn't see this coming.

lol Turd Towers
lol retard pop

[NewJerSpur]

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

Not in this series....they hung his jersey from the rafters at halftime.

Need a crazy run here.

[Spursmania]

Hollins outcoached Pop.

[shorttotry]

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.

It's tough to play good D when you breathe on a guy and get a whistle.

[Muser]

Spurs need a major shakeup this offseason, nobody is safe.

[BanditHiro]

our only salvation is if the lakers lose their series as well

[siraulo23]

As well as RJ played in the first two games, he's been invisible in games 3 and this game
Bonner teased us in game 1 hitting those clutch 3s

Parker laying an egg in the first three games and showing up today but turning the over like shit

Bench shitty, game over

[Obstructed_View]

If Parker, Duncan and Manu don't play the entire 4th quarter then Pop needs to lose his job.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill, RJ, Bonner, too many shit in only one team. Good players for regular season but a bunch of scary girls for the playoffs. Bunch of cowards

[MannyIsGod]

Absolutely not.

I don't know at this point. That 3rd quarter was quite the show by Memphis.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Memphis' D is killing the Spurs now - forcing turnovers and not conceding any easy shots. The Spurs started the quarter without a single FG for 5 minutes. Duncan is getting emasculated by Gasol

[GSH]

Do you really think Manu is just letting go of the ball? I just ran that last play twice in slow motion. The guy on his right grabbed his arm as he was going by, which knocked the ball loss. Then as he went to the floor, the guy on his left grabbed him around the waist so he couldn't get to the ball.

How long has Manu been doing this. He may not be playing great, but he didn't forget how to dribble. When a guy grabs the arm you're dribbilng with, the ball is going to come out. Sorry, but there's no way around what's on the video.

[Quiet Strength]

The Spurs have one more run in them. They better make it fuckin count.

I wouldn't be surprised if its just a 2-0 run.

[cheney212]

spurs will make a run and lose by 2-3 points its only appropriate

[MannyIsGod]

Another TO

[Death In June]

Go fuck yourself, Hill. Piece of shit.

[Fireball]

damn we might be witnessing the end of an era

+1

even if there is no lockout Manu and TP will play for their national teams which equals niggling injuries the whole next season ...

[Tp9gospursgo]

Why do they refuse to give it to Tiago on the block?

[WildcardManu]

and the turnovers continue... *sigh*

[IronMaxipad]

LOL not giving Griz defense any credit

[Spurologist]

Pop going extra small.....nice

[ElNono]

Why are we resting Manu and Tim, Pop???????? :pctoss

[will_spurs]

The issue for Pop is that he has no player to go to -- they all suck.

[itzsoweezee]

Bonner and Jefferson need to be glued to the bench. You cannot play mental midgets like those guys in the playoffs.

[Capt Bringdown]

Turds I want to see flushed from the bowl:
Bonner
RJ
Hill
Dice

[DPG21920]

Why is Tim not in? If you are going to go down, go down with your franchise.

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice fucking defense Spurs.

[ElNono]

Mayo has been creaming all over Hill today

[Spurologist]

LOL not giving Griz defense any credit

check all the posts.....credit has been given

[IronMaxipad]

Bang!

[SpurOutofTownFan]

If they keep leaving OJ Mayo alone on the 3 line this game will be over very soon - it's ridiculous... they know he likes that spot.

[NewJerSpur]

Hill/Neal/Parker....the lineup I feared. Hopefully some offense comes from that.

[Spurologist]

pop has given up

[Beaverfuzz]

Turds I want to see flushed from the bowl:
Bonner
RJ
Hill
Dice

Trade Parker for a bag of deflated basketballs.

[DPG21920]

I don't know at this point. That 3rd quarter was quite the show by Memphis.

Sure it was. Amazing. But they are not the better team.

[Texas_Ranger]

Please trade Bonner, RJ, Hill and Blair after this season...Please!

[Blue-Lightning]

I'm done. I'll watch, but I'm done. This team can't win with this coach and these weak-minded subs. A middle school coach could figure out that with the season on the line, you don't rest Manu and Duncan down 13. It's stupid and would cost a young coach his job. Pop needs to retire - I like him, but he's done.

[IronMaxipad]

Get that shit outa here!

WOW ARTHUR

[SA210]

If Parker, Duncan and Manu don't play the entire 4th quarter then Pop needs to lose his job.

[MannyIsGod]

I think the Spurs have quit.

[ElNono]

Fuck my life :cry

[Obstructed_View]

Woomp.

[adidas11]

Damn...:wow

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Our season is on the line and Pop trots out Parker and four bench guys to start the fourth.

Fuck you Pop.

[hitmanyr2k]

Game over man!! Game over!! What the fuck are we gonna do now?!? What are we gonna do?!?

[Bito Corleone]

series is over

[Tp9gospursgo]

Fml. Get Manu back in

[DPG21920]

This is the most deflating series the Spurs have ever played.

[VaSpursFan]

this game and series is over. side note: the okc/memphis series should be a good one.

[davethedope]

place is rocking!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Man, we're fucked. Wow, this whole season just come down to this bullshit.

[timtonymanu]

Wow! I tuned in at a shitty time. Up 2 at the half only to be down by 16 now. The gutless pigs pull through again.

[IronMaxipad]

The Block and then the dunk?! holy shit

[boutons_deux]

Spurs, coachiing and players, are soft, no defense, no offense, they simply don't want it.

[Splits]

Parker/Hill/Neal/RJ/Splitter lineup. Genius.

[ElNono]

I think the Spurs have quit.

:pop: "Manu and Tim are going to be fresh for next season"

[rascal]

Bonner playing defense like a traffic cone.

[Chomag]

Can't blame this on luck or the refs... Grizzlies are just totaly outplaying the Spurs. They are the better team now.

[DPG21920]

Will Pop quit on this game?

[Avitus1]

Fucking bullshit.

[LnGrrrR]

This gameblog reminds me of how I felt during the Pats/Jets playoff game.

[SA210]

Our season is on the line and Pop trots out Parker and four bench guys to start the fourth.

Fuck you Pop.

[Libri]

Tanking turned out to be a great move for the Griz. :(

[timvp]

Most depressing game in Spurs history?

Think it is.

[Fireball]

ok. now i'm jumping the ship as well ... this game is over

[Obstructed_View]

I think the Spurs have quit.

Yep, that was the sound of tents being rolled up in the third quarter. Welcome to Phoenix last season.

[Capt Bringdown]

Well, it would be fitting if Pop were to wave the white flag.

[Death In June]

Well, I am done. Put off work to watch the game. Waste of my time.

[Warlord23]

Time for some Quinn and Novak, eh Pop?

[MannyIsGod]

The truth is that if the Spurs are quiting in the firs tround agianst an 8th seed they never had the toughness necessary to win a title anyway.

And that last play looked like a team thats quit.

[timvp]

Most depressing game in Spurs history?

Think it is.

[Spurs Brazil]

I don't have a twitter account but I'll create one just to say. Fuck you Hill

[itzsoweezee]

So fucking stupid. You cannot afford to sit Duncan right now. What the fuck are you thinking Popovich?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Pop should know this isnt' the time to send messages to his players - this current set up can't beat Memphis

[Oh, Gee!!]

spurs will make a run and lose by 2-3 points its only appropriate

That would actually be nice compared to the 30 point spanking that's unfolding now

[NewJerSpur]

Tough sledding, the TO's and looseballs is something very difficult to overcome and the one-on-one offense is getting dumped on by MEM's ball movement.

[Bill_Brasky]

Am I watching the Toros right now?

[LnGrrrR]

That said, THIS game is certainly near over. :lol

[jeebus]

:pop: "Manu and Tim are going to be fresh for next season"

[DPG21920]

The only thing I am shocked at is that it's a blowout. I would have bet my life on that not being the case, either way.

[Splits]

Hill -22. Splitter -16.

Anyone wanna guess who the only positive +/- is?

[ABrooks111]

Wow, Splitter just got a big load dropped right in his mowf. They're playing like a bunch of charred Jews out there.

Spurs need to clean house in the off-season, because there's nowhere to go with this roster.

[Admidave50]

Over... Fuck you pop for not playing Tim and Manu at the beginning of the 4th. He should be fired cuz all this failure us on him!

[Bulwark]

It was good while it lasted

[Spurologist]

Holt needs to talk to pop.

This is beyond ridiculous.....I'm so fucking pissed

[Uriel]

Now I know how Dallas fans felt after that Warriors series.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

damn it. Nuggets are sure to lose tonight :depressed

[AnthonyM]

I can live with Memphis beating us. I can't live with them making us look silly and us just sitting there and taking it.

[MannyIsGod]

This is the most deflating series the Spurs have ever played.

Yeah, this bothers me a million times more than last years 2nd round.

[DawgMilkX]

The season was over when Pop Started to start McDyess over Blair in the season. They haven't looked like the same team since then. oh well

[hitmanyr2k]

Our season is on the line and Pop trots out Parker and four bench guys to start the fourth.

Fuck you Pop.

Pop is following the Phil Jackson strategy from Game 6 of the '92 NBA Finals. Pippen and a bunch of scrubs leading the Bulls back from down 15. It worked once.

[Sisk]

This shit is terrible. Just terrible.

Memphis has hit a shot at every point that they've needed to.

[rascal]

This is the most deflating series the Spurs have ever played.

Nope. The series the Spurs lost to the Bullets in 1979.

[mexpurs21]

I'm loading my Smith & Wesson now

[ElNono]

I'd love to ask Pop right now how he thought Memphis was going to come out in the 4th?

[Texas_Ranger]

Well, tha's enough NBA for me for this year. Don't even know why I wake up at 2am to watch this bullshit.

[Spurs Brazil]

JaredDudley619 Jared Dudley
by JMcDonald_SAEN
When the Spurs won there ships they had Size, Veterans and mix of Youth.. When u look at The Spurs now u don't see that.. I'm I wrong?

[ElNono]

Hill -22. Splitter -16.

Anyone wanna guess who the only positive +/- is?

Memphis

[Doe]

Fuck this game

[Fireball]

I thank Pop for trying out Splitter ... did not work out but I guess TOs are the reason for that

[Obstructed_View]

Well, I'm gonna go read to my kids. Have a good night, guys.

[GSH]

The Block and then the dunk?! holy shit

No wonder people are leaving California in such big numbers. It's not because you're bankrupt, it's to escape all the butt pirates like you.

[TDfan2007]

Embarassment. This is the most pathetic playoff performance I've ever seen from this team. Usually when their backs were against the wall we saw fight and will. Now? Nothing...

[siraulo23]

At least they didnt get swept
Holy fuck

[NASpurs]

Hill -22. Splitter -16.

Anyone wanna guess who the only positive +/- is?

All we need is five Matt Bonners out there and the Spurs would be up 5!

[davethedope]

Yeah, this bothers me a million times more than last years 2nd round.

I wonder how because that was so awful. That Suns team was such a joke.
I couldn't stand watching that. This is just a younger team stepping
on the throat of an old team.

[Death In June]

I hope the lockout happens next year. Just bury this team completely. It needs a young, number one option.

[miss paxton]

The last time I was this nauseated by a Spurs team was the 2001 WCF against the Lakers.

Memphis certainly deserves this series. I know neither this game nor series is over, but as far as I'm concerned that's a mere technicality.

[DPG21920]

I wish we had a hobbled Brandon Roy.

[VaSpursFan]

memphis is just the better team and more importantly, they are executing like the spurs of old...those young legs are full of energy

[NewJerSpur]

This gameblog reminds me of how I felt during the Pats/Jets playoff game.

That 1st TO by Tom set the tone for that game imo.

[MannyIsGod]

Most depressing game in Spurs history?

Think it is.

You have to question how much hunger they have. Tim is a four time champion. The role players certainly don't look hungry. Manu is Manu but Tony sure doesn't look hungry.

Down 2-1 to an eight seed and Memphis still looks like the more worried team and is playing like their season is on the line.

[quickerblade]

Give the spurs a chance spurs fans, stop melting down.

[DPG21920]

Pop has quit. Unreal.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Pop throwing the game.

[hitmanyr2k]

Well, tha's enough NBA for me for this year. Don't even know why I wake up at 2am to watch this bullshit.

You may as well watch the whole thing. You won't be able to sleep angry.

[ffadicted]

I hope the lockout happens next year. Just bury this team completely. It needs a young, number one option.

Agreed. Spurs era is done, and they have honestly no one to blame but themselves

[IronMaxipad]

Don't worry guys Splitter will fix this

[lurker]

I'll admit I initially wanted the Spurs to lose this series, but now I'm having flashbacks to 2007 and I feel bad for y'all. Sorry you're going to be a member of our sad little club.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Umm.. the signs were already there.. 6 game losing streak; George Hill never going up to the next level and always inconsistent; Richard Jefferson's early season performance looking fool's gold; the discombobulated front court rotation; Manu's elbow injury; Lack of quality wins down the regular season stretch... The only surprise has been Tony Parker's sucking. He carried the team since the start of the year actually. And Tim Duncan never turned on any playoff switch. I suppose that gene got overcome by the old age gene.

[Chomag]

o manu or Tim on the floor still? Maybe Pop has given up.

[ElNono]

lol wasting 85 games to prepare for Duncan-Splitter and rolling that shit at the last minute

[mVp]

At least we had a great regular season....

[DPG21920]

Spurs passed on Aurthur in the draft.

[itzsoweezee]

What the fuck is this lineup?

[Bito Corleone]

The Spurs will win this game...they have to.

Spurs 101
Grizzlies 95

:lmao

[Texas_Ranger]

Manu and Tim must really be tired. They did play 45 minutes per game in the season.

[NASpurs]

Oh well, this might be the end of an era but it was the best era in Spurs history. Can't complain about 4 championships.

[timvp]

I didn't think all this gifted alcohol would come in handy so soon.

[timtonymanu]

lol 2009 all over again. Spurs won't even try Game 5.

[Spurs Brazil]

remember those saying in December this was the best Spurs team all time

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

[DPG21920]

I just want to see someone flagrant someone. Someone at least get pissed.

[ElNono]

Splitter in one game has drawn more fouls than any other big combined this series

[SpurOutofTownFan]

wow splitter got one call.. unbelievable.. pics or it didn't happen

[RashoFan]

Most depressing game in Spurs history?

Think it is.

I may turn off the tv and go clean the fish tank....it stinks a lot less than this game...:depressed

[NewJerSpur]

Jefferson fouled.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Fuck Rj.

[DPG21920]

RJ backers owe me an apology.

[ElNono]

Hill is such a pussy... trade his ass :pctoss

[Chomag]

I agree that Tim should be in pops face right now demanding to be put in. However thats just not Tim....

[Mal]

Hill -22. Splitter -16.

Anyone wanna guess who the only positive +/- is?

Bonner played only 1st half, am i wrong ?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

JR's play has been really garbage

[IronMaxipad]

RJ taking great shots

[The Btown Spur]

Can we trade RJ for a washing machine?

[Sisk]

Why the FUCK isn't timmy and manu in?

[Tobias]

Why bother calling fouls against the Grizz now? The Spurs have their F team out there anyway

[MannyIsGod]

I'm going to go down with the ship and watch till the end, but this is really fucking hard to watch right now. Man, brutal.

[DPG21920]

A rout? Really Spurs?

I love how tough Memphis is playing. Blowing the Spurs out and still taking hard fouls.

[OoOoOoOoOoO]

we cant make shots, they make all of theirs

[DPG21920]

A rout? Really Spurs?

I love how tough Memphis is playing. Blowing the Spurs out and still taking hard fouls.

[Oh, Gee!!]

The front of the spurs rim is going to be sore tomorrow from getting hit so many times

[Splits]

15 pts in 15:30 minutes in the 2nd half. Nice job Spurs.

[Quiet Strength]

I dont even care that the spurs will most likely lose the series but seriously.. why the hell is pop not playing manu or timmy? Is he saving them for next game? Pop has to be fired and the spurs have to rebuild. Too many pussies on this damn team.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Please guys. Just calm down... please

[Spurs Brazil]

Novak would be better than Jefferson

[CFH]

So now Ginobili and Duncan check in?

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Even Ernie is choked up....he can't even segway to the other game cuz he can't believe what he's seeing

[ersinert]

we had a great run, they have made me have sleepless nights for years which i would never complain about. Great atlethes, great personalities, great successes, thanks for the memories spurs. Tonight i am done with NBA.

P.S I hope someone would break Tony Allen's fucking jaw tonight or in game 5

[El Wray]

Am I the only one who feels ashamed right now?

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Sounds bad being down 3-1. But it can easily swing. Spurs just have to take care of Game 5 at home, then try and use the confidence to steal a game in Memphis. Game 7 is back home.

Could be worse. They could be down 3 games to 1 going on the road

[timvp]

Man, this sucks.

[Death In June]

I'll admit I initially wanted the Spurs to lose this series, but now I'm having flashbacks to 2007 and I feel bad for y'all. Sorry you're going to be a member of our sad little club.This made me laugh at least.

[Cessation]

I didn't think all this gifted alcohol would come in handy so soon.

lol

[DPG21920]

It is going to be really depressing next year with RJ on this team.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu take over. Please.

[Capt Bringdown]

Hard to believe we had a lead in this game. That Manu turnover was a sign of things to come.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Thank you Neal.

[IronMaxipad]

Tony Allen backing up his trash talk

[BobEX]

Pretty disappointing but not entirely unexpected. Spurs got old. The 82 game season took its toll. It happens to the best of players and teams. They're trying but the Grizz are just one step ahead all the time. Randolph and Gasol are destroying the Spurs inside.

I'll always remember the Duncan years, the 4 championships, and even this last 60 win season despite the fact that they melted down in round 1. It will be interesting to see how the Grizz do in the next round against the Thunder (unless there's a miracle turnaround by the Spurs or Nuggets).

[ElNono]

lol Neal makes a 3... no minutes for him in the 1st half

[Blue-Lightning]

I don't want to hear any more coach of the year bullshit, I don't want to hear anymore about the 60+ win season, and I don't want to hear anymore about Popovich being one of the best.

The coach cost us this series, and it is embarassing. I don't know how Manu can stand it with his competitiveness. I don't think I could.

[Uriel]

I don't even know why I invest so much emotionally in a mere basketball game. But it doesn't change the fact that this is depressing as hell.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs had a chance this off season to get ride of RJ and Bonner and we'll see them for 3 more seasons

:(

[SpurOutofTownFan]

LOL Memphis is hitting like 60% FG in the half

[Spurologist]

Duncan is Dead

[Tp9gospursgo]

I miss Bruce.

[timvp]

The irony of it all is Splitter had a front row see to the meltdown.

[hitmanyr2k]

What the fuck Ginobili. Attack the rack hard. This is the season on the line. No time for that pull back shit.

[cheney212]

grizzlies will play there heart out against the spurs and then next round get raped just watch... spurs make this team look elite

[DPG21920]

Timvp, please make me a mod of the NBA forum. Someone has to regulate Laker fan.

[Chomag]

I'm here to the end but gos damn this is painfull to watch!!!!

[mexpurs21]

We aint even trying to rebound now

[Uriel]

Man, this sucks.
Gross understatement of the year.

[MannyIsGod]

Hill passes up a layup for a 3. SMH

[Death In June]

At least pop managed minutes all series long.

[Splits]

I just want to see someone flagrant someone. Someone at least get pissed.

Dice threw his mouthpiece.

[ElNono]

lol... Blair coming in

[hitmanyr2k]

That dude has been $$$

[Bulwark]

It's the Derell Aurthur show!!!

[boutons_deux]

nauseating

[SpurOutofTownFan]

At this point it is going to take some 3s from Bonner or something like that to catch up

[IronMaxipad]

This is beautiful :cry

[slick'81]

spurs taking a beatdown in a game they had to have

[timvp]

With such little rest from here on out, Pop might as well wave the white flag.

[OoOoOoOoOoO]

might as well put novak and green in

[timtonymanu]

Manu and Tim deserve so much better. All thanks to Pop and his shitty decisions.

I don't remember ever feeling this way about a Spurs team. Ever. How can a team that plays such limited minutes and wins so many games change so quickly?

[Libri]

Spurs are quitting.

[AnthonyM]

I hate to say it but Splitter coming in the game seems like it hurt the team more. Not because of his doing of course, but because Pop never seemed like he knew what he wanted to do with his lineups and rotations and everything just became a mess.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Spurs giving up. Can't believe this shit.

[MannyIsGod]

The Spurs have no semblence of defense right now.

[NewJerSpur]

I'm here to the end but gos damn this is painfull to watch!!!!

:tu

Hopefully, they can get it back to Memphis and we can roll the dice from there.

[Chomag]

ummm are the Spurs just going to stand their and watch the other team take 3s?

[IronMaxipad]

Everything falling for the griz! haha

[tmtcsc]

WHITE FLAG !!!! LOL..Manu didn't even bother closing on Battier. Turn out the lights, the party's over.

[Bulwark]

Everybody Clap Your Hands!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Too old. We were world-beaters for 60 games, then fell in a heap down the stretch. SPAM is officially dead, and we're going to go down as a beaten 1-seed. Ugh. :depressed

[timvp]

Four rings, maggots :drunk

[ElNono]

The irony of it all is Splitter had a front row see to the meltdown.

Sorry bro... go out there with Kori, get drunk as hell, and at least enjoy your birthday

[DPG21920]

Sad, sad day. Nothing else needs to be said.

[FromWayDowntown]

No close out on a wide-open three point shooter.

They've quit.

It's shades of May 2001.

[Spurologist]

:rollin

looks like TNT already planned the funeral

[SpurOutofTownFan]

LOL with that last 3 I can see there will be no D left in the game... it's over guys - there won't be any miracles tonight.. Spurs have folded. They aren't the top D team anymore that can turn it on whenever.

[mexpurs21]

Book it, Durantula is gonna ass rape this Memphis team in 4.
