Playoffs Game Blog: Grizzlies @ Spurs - Game 5 - April 27

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Down by 5 with 9:00 to go. Spurs better step it up or else they're going fishing.

[davethedope]

a little home cooking I see

[IronMexican]

Based Stern at work.

[EVAY]

Less than 9 minutes left and no Parker or Duncan on the floor. We saving them for the summer league?

[Brutalis]

NBA TV broadcast are Grizzly fans.. having to listen to these fucking idiots is making it worse.

[u4lakers14]

live by the refs and the 3, die by the refs and the 3

[Josepatches_]

Sit bonner!!!

[peskypesky]

they don't miss ANYTHING

[Texas_Ranger]

btw Splitter sucks

[will_spurs]

Why dp we still have RJ and Bonner, and Hill running the point with 8 minutes left?!?

[Crookshanks]

i wouldn't say the Grizzlies are a better team, but they definitely brought it this series. And the Spurs? They didn't.

That about sums it up. :depressed

[ffadicted]

Splitter!!

[4>0rings]

Tiago will miss it, who cares

[Tp9gospursgo]

Splitter!

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop saving TD and TP for summer league

[DPG21920]

Hell yea, Splitter. Just be tougher on defense.

[MannyIsGod]

Com'on guys keep fucking fighting. Please dont give up again.

[timvp]

PUT IN TD FOR BONNER.

Please.

[Obstructed_View]

Splitter with it.

[NewJerSpur]

1 time Splitter....good job of moving without the ball.

[mexicanjunior]

Is Pop saving Duncan for next pre-season? Is he hurt? I don't understand WTF he is doing...

[resistanze]

The biggest problem is that they'll never stop the Grizzlies down low. Just a couple of consecutive stops will change this game.

[RedRaider]

Come on splitter.

[TDfan2007]

Tiago and Timmy to finish out our season. Fitting.

[BobEX]

Splitter playing great this game. Why wasn't this guy getting regular minutes all season?

[AnthonyM]

LOL brevin kinight saying there was no goal tend. Are you kidding me?!?!?!?

Yeah, heard that too. Even with a shitty, grainy stream I could clearly see the goaltend before the replay.

Sean and Bill may be homers but at least they aren't blind.

[DPG21920]

Spurs in the bonus. Come on Manu.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Memphis keeps shooting over 50% for most of the game. The constant of the series. Where is the D?

[Uriel]

The Grizz are able to score each time the crowd gets into it.

[ffadicted]

Grizz in the bonus... ATTACK THE FUCKING BASKET YOU NIGGAS LETS WIN THIS SHIT

Also LMAO splitter so good, fuck you pop

[timvp]

PUT IN TD FOR BONNER.

Please.

Thank you.

[DPG21920]

A hustle play!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Fuck yeah!!

[ManuTP9]

We are still in this, we cant let the grizz get a big lead otherwise pop will give up.. Come the fuck on.

[RedRaider]

splitter!

[Trainwreck2100]

lol someone needs to explain to these guys you can't touch the backboard after the ball hits it

[MannyIsGod]

Duncan told Tiago to run the missed FT play :lol

[DPG21920]

No one can stop Zbo.

[NewJerSpur]

Tim gave up too much realestate there.

[ManuBalboa]

Pop should be fired for not developing Splitter in the reg season.

[Crookshanks]

Is Pop saving Duncan for next pre-season? Is he hurt? I don't understand WTF he is doing...

Duncan, Tony and Manu should be playing EVERY damn minute of the 2nd half. What's Pop saving them for? Does Pop want to start his vacation early, or what? :bang

[RedRaider]

just can't stop them down low.

[IronMaxipad]

ZBO! all up in Duncans mouth

[DPG21920]

Fml.

[timvp]

Manu WTF.

[NewJerSpur]

Weak Manu.

[will_spurs]

Good to know that Splitter isn't a difference maker, by the way.

[peskypesky]

they don't miss ANYTHING

as i said

[CFH]

Tie it up let Grizzlies go on a run same shit every game

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Shit, we can make a new d-league team from out of half the spurs team

[RedRaider]

wow manu throwing the game

[DPG21920]

This team is full of idiots. Just full of them.

[Arc]

we lost. turnover city.

[MannyIsGod]

Terrible pass by Duncan. SO obvious.

[Nathan89]

Duncan fucking shit up.

[ffadicted]

Tied game, 2 straight turn overs by our big 3

This is why this team isn't going anywhere

[NewJerSpur]

Just give the game away.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Wow Tim.

[IronMaxipad]

:lmao

[Obstructed_View]

Wow. Get your turnovers out of the way early, guys.

[RedRaider]

now timmy throwing the game

[Texas_Ranger]

wtf are they doing??

[san antonio spurs]

wow manu throwing the game
and Duncan

[mexicanjunior]

B2B turnovers...laughable execution...

[Crookshanks]

Splitter playing great this game. Why wasn't this guy getting regular minutes all season?

That's the million dollar question.

[kuato]

Good to know that Splitter isn't a difference maker, by the way.

Splitter is not Scola

[Pauleta14]

You can see the grizz can't believe things are soo easy for them...

[DPG21920]

Tripping.

[resistanze]

You're in the penalty and you're going for jumpshots.

[noles1983]

a team with randolph, conley, arthur and battier are embarrassing us. WTF

[TDfan2007]

Big 3 fucking up one by one right now.

[ffadicted]

Every time tony takes a long jumpshot I frown

[milkyway21]

Pop put Bonner there means white flag?:yield

[timvp]

Still isolation basketball.

[Josepatches_]

Splitter? Why?

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf is parker shootin 3s...

[RedRaider]

Refs trying to give us the game but we still can't capitalize.

[MannyIsGod]

Jesus christ I want to jump into the TV and fucking strangle Brevin Knight

[Brutalis]

Seriously......... these NBA TV announcers are hating the Spurs

[IronMaxipad]

Refs keeping the spurs in it

[NewJerSpur]

Brevin Knight for the loss.

[4>0rings]

Damn it, Hill or Jefferson... is there not another person?

[Oh, Gee!!]

One step forward, two steps back every fucking game.

[Capt Bringdown]

Pathetic, horrific...this is like having your guts ripped out.
Splitter ties it only for the Spurs to throw it away.

[IronMexican]

Stern wants game 6, it seems.

[mexicanjunior]

Parker needs to get out of the corners...hasn't made one of those all series...better off letting him camp under the paint and help on the offensive glass when he isn't dribbling the ball...

[Death In June]

Tiago should play the entire quarter. He has been the second best big.

[timtonymanu]

What pisses me off is that this Grizzlies team will get killed by the Thunder in the next round.

[Spur-Addict]

A foul is a foul Brevin, STFU

[boutons_deux]

Tony's jumper is gone

[DPG21920]

Desperation mode activated.

[san antonio spurs]

Now these commentators are crying foul

[Arc]

putting in mcshit over splitter.. this coach is stupid

[resistanze]

Memphis commentators are MAD.

"Now Ginobili's flopping"

[davethedope]

smells like home cooking

[RedRaider]

hit these m'fing ft's.

[Nathan89]

Refs trying their best.

[MannyIsGod]

I swear man, I'm more mad at fucking Brevin Knight than this game which is amazing.

[Obstructed_View]

Seriously......... these NBA TV announcers are hating the Spurs

This is the Grizzlies feed, guys. It's not a NBA TV crew.

[TDfan2007]

Our season is on the line, and our franchise player is playing worse than a rookie.

[Fireball]

Seriously......... these NBA TV announcers are hating the Spurs

they are the Grizzlies announcers

[resistanze]

Memphis commentators are MAD.

"Now Ginobili's flopping"

[Mal]

It`s better to lose this game, then winning it with whistles.

[rasho8]

Why the fuck does Pop pull the hot players WHILE WE ARE MAKING A RUN!?!?! What the fuck is that?

[usdane]

Spurs trying to flop their way to a win.

[baseline bum]

I want Jefferson to never set foot on the floor again this year. Pull that fucking faggot, Pop.

[timtonymanu]

You're in the penalty and you're going for jumpshots.

Mentality of this soft ass team all year.

[peskypesky]

the good thing is, we're going to be so battle-tested after we take the series that we'll steam-roll over the rest of the teams we face. right?

[timvp]

This second half has been a nightmare.

[u4lakers14]

are the mavs the only #1 to ever lose to a #8 in a best of 7 series?

thats great company fellas, lol.

[Fireball]

It`s better to lose this game, then winning it with whistles.

no

[Obstructed_View]

Tiago should play the entire quarter. He has been the best big.

[IronMaxipad]

:cry Spurs don't get any calls :cry

[ManuBalboa]

It`s better to lose this game, then winning it with whistles.

This. Are the Spurs seriously fighting for survival by baiting whistles? Pathetic.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

:pop: I had to put Bonner on for some needed 3s

[LegendaryFan44]

4 point lead seems like 40 for the Grizz

[siraulo23]

duncan-splitter frontcourt, not good
they havent played enough together

[Killakobe81]

I actually hope Spurs win ...Called Duncan for 18 12 and 2 ...

But those last couple calls were pretty sad ...Spur fans should not whine about anymore calls ...TBH

[NewJerSpur]

You're in the penalty and you're going for jumpshots.

Or just giveup on the possession altogether and just turn it over.

[Pauleta14]

I hate seing the grizz ALWAYS laugthing...

I just hate it!

[Josepatches_]

Tiago should play the entire quarter. He has been the second best big.

Right now he could be the best

[Jelloisjigglin]

this league is rigged for the spurs. i'm done with nba......

[Fireball]

now Splitter is the only one with a positive +/-

[Bartleby]

Stern wants game 6, it seems.

too bad the Spurs don't.

[Obstructed_View]

Why the fuck does Pop pull the hot players WHILE WE ARE MAKING A RUN!?!?! What the fuck is that?

He's done that the last few years.

[Quiet Strength]

So splitter helps the spurs make a comeback and pop benches him.. hmmm

[timtonymanu]

are the mavs the only #1 to ever lose to a #8 in a best of 7 series?

thats great company fellas, lol.

I think it's an insult to compare this current Spurs team to the 07 Mavs, tbh.

[Spurs Brazil]

We need to be perfect in those last 5:55

Attack all the time, they're already in the penalty

GET THIS W

[will_spurs]

Lol @ the idea that Spurs announcers are homers and not the other ones. The MEM announcers just argue any foul and all the Spurs shots are "lucky".

[Pauleta14]

This 1st round has been a nightmare.

[Fireball]

Right now he could be the best

+1

Duncan with two retarded plays after he got back into the game

[NewJerSpur]

I actually hope Spurs win ...Called Duncan for 18 12 and 2 ...

But those last couple calls were pretty sad ...Spur fans should not whine about anymore calls ...TBH

4th quarter Game 5 (SA)=3rd quarter of Game 4 (MEM)

But I agre both were officiated pretty badly.

[timvp]

This can't be how it ends.

WTF.

[it's me]

I'm done with this shit...... I'll see the final score, can't believe what I'm watching. FUCK THIS FUCK LIFE

[baseline bum]

are the mavs the only #1 to ever lose to a #8 in a best of 7 series?

thats great company fellas, lol.

Hopefully Kobe celebrated his game 5 win by having unprotected sex with Magic.

[u4lakers14]

memphis has attempted 4 3pt shots to the spurs 20!!!!!

live by it, die by it.

san antonio mavericks

[SpurOutofTownFan]

:pop: I thought the Duncan/Splitter combo could work

[++SaiNt TiAg0++]

please i just want bonner to die on the court!!! this dude single handedly destroyed our season and yeah i know alot of our players arent playing their greatest basketball but bonner just makes everything fall apart and is WORTHLESS that may not even be the word because he not only does nothing he hurts this team sooooo bad!! please let pop and bonner gtf out of san antonio

[InTheCrust]

Stern's helping us. Don't fail me now, old reliable. Please, don't fail me now.

[~Sweetmelody~]

Come on spurs!!!

[noles1983]

bonner needs to choke on his sandwiches like he chokes on the court

[pjjrfan]

We need stops

[NewJerSpur]

What's it going to be fellas?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

memphis has attempted 4 3pt shots to the spurs 20!!!!!

live by it, die by it.

san antonio mavericks

your team is going to get it in the azz

[milkyway21]

6 min to go people !

[Obstructed_View]

THAT was a flop.

[NewJerSpur]

Manu flopping at the wrong time.

[DPG21920]

Spurs defense is faltering.

[davethedope]

y put McDyess back in?

[ffadicted]

Fucking turn overs, fuck this shit fuck this team, fuck this season

[Brazil]

This all failure is Pop's failure

[Obstructed_View]

And so was that.

[Capt Bringdown]

I thought folks were joking about Pop only giving Splitter a look when we got hopelessly behind in a playoff series.

That joke turned out to be quite literally true.

[Spur-Addict]

Manu with another timely turnover.

[pjjrfan]

damn if it's not tony its manu damn

[timvp]

Manu can't guard Sam Young now.

And turns it over.

FML.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

manu doing some padding to cover the 5 TOs

[TDfan2007]

Timmy doesn't want it. Manu throwing it all over the place.

[Death In June]

Another late whistle. Be decisive, sacks of shit.

[boutons_deux]

Grizz are simply the better team, season over.

[Texas_Ranger]

rip Spurs

[DPG21920]

Memphis just plays so much harder.

[NewJerSpur]

Who needs ball security anyway.

[mexicanjunior]

Manu has forgotten how to make simple passes and his only defense is to flop on contact...such a shame he has regressed into a turnover machine.

[~Sweetmelody~]

Seems Manu and Tim are out of gas.....

[timtonymanu]

Now, our only two hungry players left have made dumb to's. It's done.

[Bartleby]

Pop gets the last laugh--he bet the house against the Spurs tonight.

[LakerHater]

What kinda call was that??

[MannyIsGod]

Fuck man. The way the Spurs are playing I don't see how a comeback occurs.

[timvp]

Manu getting destroyed.

Great timing.

[milkyway21]

if we had SJax it could be better

[SpurOutofTownFan]

MEM 10+ Rebounds - were tied at half time

[BobEX]

Spurs can't get a stop. :(

[LakerHater]

Manu is gonna foul out!

[DPG21920]

Hollins trying to fight back laughter.

[RedRaider]

What an awful end to a great dynasty.

[timvp]

Manu getting destroyed.

Great timing.

[TDfan2007]

Manu and Timmy have been garbage in the second half.

[pjjrfan]

This is going the way the last 10 games of our season went, total failure to execute.

[GrandeDavid]

I'm so ashamed of this team. Man

[Capt Bringdown]

FU Manu, you over-rated moron. This guy has the basketball IQ of a flea.

[Killakobe81]

Manu flopping, is now his got to defensive move ...

[Nathan89]

Reality is really setting in now.

[LnGrrrR]

Sad showing.

[resistanze]

This defense is painful to watch. It's going to be more obvious if Memphis advances and looks nothing like they did here in this next round.

[ManuBalboa]

We are about to be forever grouped with mav fan. Going to go take a shower after this game tbh.

[Strike]

Wow. So glad I decided to turn on the game.

[san antonio spurs]

The spurs are over matched... We can't hope for more, theses series are over.

[ManuTP9]

AH HA goaltend !

[Rummpd]

5 minutes until infamy

[MannyIsGod]

Brevin fucking Knight copmlaining about another goal tend. Fucking hate this 5 foot son of a whore.

[noles1983]

this playoff series is why professional athletes only should get paid based on how they play. They dont derserve a fucking dime, none of em.

Except bonner, he spaces the floor

[davethedope]

A zebound!

[Crookshanks]

Seems Manu and Tim are out of gas.....

Why? Pop managed their minutes all season so they'd be ready for the playoffs. It's only the 1st round and they're gassed? I mean, really? These guys get paid millions of dollars and they can't find the energy and stamina to play 1 freakin complete game?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Obstructed_View]

And one.

[IronMaxipad]

Z bo with a Z bound

[4>0rings]

Fight god damn it..... Fucking fight!

[timvp]

Ginobili WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

Defense.

[Josepatches_]

Man..PUt Splitter in!!!!

[DPG21920]

Come on guys. Just do something right. So shitty.

[Texas_Ranger]

Dice you're a pussy!!

[CFH]

Spurs can't get one stop

[~Sweetmelody~]

Defense!

[NewJerSpur]

No stops=loss

[Capt Bringdown]

Memphis now at 52% and climbing

[TDomination]

We have zero interior defense we can't stop them

[Brutalis]

LMAO

We are fucking awful.

[Obstructed_View]

Smart foul on Parker.

[TDfan2007]

Offensive rebound...turnover.

[Mal]

Great play !

[Brazil]

good reb Dice

[Quiet Strength]

lol man the spurs are such pussies. Thats why memphis is winning this series.. They have balls and the spurs are pussies.

[DPG21920]

You fucks. Nothing goes right. No hustle plays or lucky bounces.

[Bill_Brasky]

They get every rebound, then when we finally get one we throw it away.

[boutons_deux]

get the offensive RB,throw it away

[LakerHater]

Damn ball!

[IronMexican]

Brevin Knight uses "we" way too much. Don't care if a fan uses it, but he's a broadcaster.

[timtonymanu]

This is so disgusting.

[timvp]

Hit this sh!t TP.

[baseline bum]

Spurs in 9

[TDfan2007]

Spurs can't give up. Need to keep fighting.

[Obstructed_View]

The Fun and Gun has 84 points with four minutes to go.

[Mal]

I really dont know if I want to watch game 6...

[Fireball]

full of mental mistakes this Spurs team is

[IronMaxipad]

Floater from beyond the freethrow line.. :lmao nice

[Nathan89]

If we could play defense this game would be ours. But we can't.

[NewJerSpur]

Need to get a stop AND rebound for the love of basketball.

[GrandeDavid]

Season memory is lazy Parker not diving for a loose ball. Or maybe another Randolph putback

[LakerHater]

Make your free throws!!!!!!!!

[ManuTP9]

Spurs still in this suprisingly

[san antonio spurs]

TP is the only one fighting.
I'm dissapointed by Manu and Duncan.
Duncan is scared, he doesn't want the ball

[Crookshanks]

lol man the spurs are such pussies. Thats why memphis is winning this series.. They have balls and the spurs are pussies.

I have to admit - the Grizz are a much tougher team. They play physical ball and the Spurs just fall apart. Sad to watch.

[TDfan2007]

Defense!

[ffadicted]

2 point game, 4 minutes left.... championship demeanor.....

[Killakobe81]

Spurs are not sad, they are fighting ...

But the refs and this home cookin' is a disgrace ...and some of yall was whining about teh Laker game calls last night ...

[narmerguy]

This is a pretty sad end to a dynasty. Oh well, from lockout to lockout I suppose.

[Obstructed_View]

By the way, some of you goddamn pussies need to shut up for four minutes.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

MEM rebounding and FG are just killing the Spurs in the 2nd half. It's pretty bad not having reliable bigs anymore.

[Brutalis]

This is it... game is decided in the final 3 mins... better do it now..

[Death In June]

You could play your defensive minded 7 footer, but I guess going with the struggling dice is one way to go.

[MannyIsGod]

Come the fuck on. Can't believe this shit.

[NewJerSpur]

Stop and rebound.....1 time.

[Rummpd]

4 minutes to a gutty victory or infamy!

[IronMaxipad]

24 to 13 free throws for the spurs?!

NBA = Rigged

[Brazil]

TP trying to win this game

[DPG21920]

Great board, Tim.

[Spur-Addict]

Brevin Knight must've not seen the 3rd quarter of last game

[Fireball]

i see another dagger three by the Grizz coming up

[resistanze]

What a retarded shot.

[Nathan89]

Fuck you Manu.
