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

[ManuTP9]

FML!!!! fucking bullshit

[noles1983]

spurs can BARELY beat memphis at home, if they happen to make it back to memphis they will lose by 37

[Obstructed_View]

Live by the step-back...

[NewJerSpur]

Damn Manu.

[Brutalis]

Nice Manu. Wasted possession.

[TDomination]

I didn't like that shot by manu

[MannyIsGod]

Fucking hate when Manu goes to the bailout 3. I fucking hate hate hate hate hate it.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

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 ...

stern's been home cooking with the lakers for a decade.. please

[timvp]

Spurs have 5 on 4 and Manu takes a step-back three.

FML.

[Capt Bringdown]

why, Manu, why?

[Juggity]

Looks bad but this is still winnable. Manu playing well

[CFH]

Bad decision Manu

[ffadicted]

Down by 2 with 3 minutes left, in the bonus, shoot a 3

this team deserves to lose lol

[milkyway21]

I don't care if it's 1 pt win as long as we send them home losing this game

DEFENSE!

[NewJerSpur]

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

:tu

[hitmanyr2k]

The Spurs and their dumb threes. Man up and take it to the rim.

[Spur-Addict]

Ill adivised three when we need good high percentage looks.

[milkyway21]

I don't care if it's 1 pt win as long as we send them home losing this game

DEFENSE!

[Tp9gospursgo]

That would've been a dagger.

[san antonio spurs]

THE REFS ARE FUCKING BAILING US AND WE CAN'T GET AHEAD....
Pathetic.
The grizzlies are seriously getting robed right now.

[IronMaxipad]

Manu wants to go fishing, sons. quit hating

[MannyIsGod]

Brevin Knight > Manu stupid bailout step back

[Pauleta14]

wtf....attack the rim manu!!!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Cant execute the important plays once again. 3 pointers is the answer to everything apparently.

[Mal]

Spurs are playing retarded b-ball.... After so many years being cold blooded mofos...

[Obstructed_View]

No Hill, no RJ, no title. It's not like it really matters too much.

BTW, have the Spurs hit a three since that one by Manu on the turnover?

[Trainwreck2100]

MANU with good D and then shitty O

[pjjrfan]

These guys have forgotten to move the ball, to find the open guy, to take advantage of the Grizzlies mistakes which aren't many but that screen by Antonio Manu should have let it fly instead he waits till his defender gets back on his feet and takes a contested 3

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

this is hard to watch.. my head hurts.

[NewJerSpur]

Stop trying to hit a homerun before you strikeout...just run some offense and don't turn the ball over.

[Killakobe81]

stern's been home cooking with the lakers for a decade.. please

Im not advocating anyone even the Lakers getting homecookin' ...but it's just funny that Spur fans act like they dont get homecooking when most of the top teams do.

[Jelloisjigglin]

Ginobli doing his best Kobe impression there tbh

[Spur-Addict]

The Spurs and their dumb threes. Man up and take it to the rim.


Ill adivised three when we need good high percentage looks.

[noles1983]

The Spurs and their dumb threes. Man up and take it to the rim.

let us borrow d rose and we will

[timvp]

Depending on stops is so scary with this damn team.

[Ice009]

Spurs have got soft cock hands. How many times are they going to fumble the ball and lose the ball.

Can they work on strengthening them over the off season? FUCKing ridiculous.

[Spurs Brazil]

A stop please

[Warlord23]

Spurs shooting below 30% from the arc, Grizz are 3-5 (60%)

[ArtVandelay]

so..
what happens to this team in the offseason?
it's obvious they'll never win another championship as constructed (unless by some divine miracle dwight howard lands in SA)
time to destroy and rebuild IMO

[milkyway21]

Spurs 3-Pointers 6-22, 27% ewww :depressed

[Nathan89]

Manu just attack. Too much pressure for you pussies to hit a shot.

[DPG21920]

Time for someone on the Spurs to rage. Just take over. No excuses. No talking. No asking for permission. Just fucking do it.

[Brazil]

No Hill, no RJ, no title. It's not like it really matters too much.

BTW, have the Spurs hit a three since that one by Manu on the turnover?

nope

[spurspokesman]

wtf....attack the rim manu!!!!!!!!
Dyess laying the wood

[NewJerSpur]

Rebound.

[4>0rings]

Alright Timvp, start your write up for the year and how great it was to win 4 rings to calm this board down. Fork, inserted.

[~Sweetmelody~]

Go spurs go!! Defense!

[Dartherus]

Manu wants to go fishing, sons. quit hating
Splitter scoring came via Manu, he has been pkaying well overall, improve the analysis pls.

[mexicanjunior]

Manu with another step back brick from beyond the line...this offense is worse than any I can remember in the big 3 era. At least the defensive minded Spurs teams of 2003-2008 didn't take stupid shots and turn the ball over like special olympic teams...

[DPG21920]

Thank God RJ is not in.

[Brazil]

Time for someone on the Spurs to rage. Just take over. No excuses. No talking. No asking for permission. Just fucking do it.

tonite only TP could do that

[resistanze]

Jesus Christ TD.

[noles1983]

bonner and jefferson need to get traded, even if the only offer is for a used bottle of anal lube

[ffadicted]

Tim might've just cost us the season

[Nathan89]

Fml

[NewJerSpur]

Wow.

[DPG21920]

Tim. The missed chip shot that kills momentum.

[Mal]

Omg

[Spur-Addict]

Fuck Tim. Can't ask for a better look than that.

[Libri]

Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!

[IronMaxipad]

lmao duncan

[ManuTP9]

Im speechless...

[Quiet Strength]

lol duncan. Couldnt get any easier than that.

[Texas_Ranger]

lol Tim lol lol lol

[siraulo23]

lol duncan fml

[timtonymanu]

MISSED opportunity again.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Wow Duncan

[EVAY]

Damn it Tim!!!!

[Capt Bringdown]

Dice with 2 costly fuckups when it counts

[davethedope]

Zbounds are killing the Spurs. They need more offensive zbounds.

[ArtVandelay]

sam young wont score 10 combined points the next series

[DPG21920]

Soft.

[CFH]

WTF Parker weak

[IronMaxipad]

Sam mj young with the goods

[Nathan89]

Timmy and Manu choked the game away.

[TDfan2007]

Unbelievable....I'm so shocked. This is hard to watch.

[Obstructed_View]

Time for someone on the Spurs to fish. Just fucking do it.

[Uriel]

Wow.

[TD4THREE]

Tim. The wheels are off.

[Brazil]

fucking Sam Young fundamental piece of a PO game :vomit:

[Capt Bringdown]

that's ball game

[DPG21920]

Killakobe, whats your take on that one :lmao

[IronMexican]

:lol Bad call on Parker

[Splits]

Where is the FUCKING crowd?

[mexicanjunior]

Fitting this game ends with a blown Duncan layup...he is nothing more than a backup PF at this point...I might start Eric Dampier over him at this point.

[ffadicted]

that's season boys, it wasn't nice while it lasted

[Tp9gospursgo]

Bull shit call.

[Libri]

:madrun

[milkyway21]

wow I cannot TDandMcDyess can't make those :(

[pjjrfan]

Selfish play by our main guys, Tony looking for his and just forgetting everyone else, Manu has done the same thing and our inside game is gone.

[davethedope]

RIP Tim Duncan

[MannyIsGod]

:(

[Uriel]

Thanks for the great regular season, Spurs.

[u4lakers14]

good call

[Arc]

the big three can't do it alone anymore, and pop refused to play the best big on the team all season. this was bound to happen.

[024]

another choke to close out the series. a fitting end for the spurs.

[Capt Bringdown]

Where's Neal?

[Nathan89]

Now fuckface attacks

[peskypesky]

ya know what? I'm not mad at the Spurs. Its not their fault that they got old. It happens to everyone. Every great champion. Kareem. MJ. Bird. Olajuwon. etc etc etc

no shame in growing old. hate all you want, but age is age.

[Ice009]

FUCKING PATHETIC how this team has crumbled.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Im not advocating anyone even the Lakers getting homecookin' ...but it's just funny that Spur fans act like they dont get homecooking when most of the top teams do.

everyone gets home cooking - MEM did in both games over there - that's a fact so home cooking shouldn't be an issue - Spurs are losing because the other team is better.

[IronMaxipad]

Make up call bull shit

[Spur-Addict]

Block looked clean

[DPG21920]

Nice Manu, keep attacking.

Get stops guys. Rebounds. Push it.

[IronMexican]

Bad call for bad call.

[mexicanjunior]

Where is the FUCKING crowd?

Watching a shit team meltdown...can't blame them for being speechless by this debacle...

[Texas_Ranger]

Why the fuck did we laugh at the Mavs in 07. This shit is even more pathetic.

[Obstructed_View]

Where is the FUCKING crowd?

They're as scared shitless as the fans in this game thread. And the players on the floor.

[NewJerSpur]

Need stops.

[Mal]

Sam Young is gonna hit another one

[DPG21920]

Come on.

[san antonio spurs]

seriously it's embarrassing to be helped out by the refs and still lose.
That was all ball from Gasol

[rasho8]

Well everyone.. it was a damn good season. Coaching lost us these fucking games and our players not really trying.

[Uriel]

If Tim Duncan hadn't gotten injured by the Warriors, how differently would have this postseason have turned out?

[DPG21920]

Nice. Keep it up.

[milkyway21]

1:44 to go 3 pt game

[Juggity]

Okay, a stop.

[NewJerSpur]

Tim with a man's rebound.

[DPG21920]

Manu. Damn you.

[Spur-Addict]

Another turnover from Manu

[IronMaxipad]

hahahahahahahahhahahahaha

[CFH]

Turnobili

[Capt Bringdown]

another choke to close out the series. a fitting end for the spurs.

Actually it was our 15 point 3rd quarter that killed us

[Obstructed_View]

That's appropriate, Manu.

[Brazil]

Tim is done its over thank you Pop for letting him playing during 80 games with bonner and blair great job

[~Sweetmelody~]

Defense! Defense!

[ManuTP9]

Hill!

[resistanze]

Wow what an ending.

[davethedope]

this is close! Good game, at least.

[4>0rings]

God dayum, Hill you lucky son of a bitch.

[peskypesky]

its sad. but its life.

[MannyIsGod]

Jesus Christ god smiled upon that Hill shot. Answered prayer.

[timvp]

Hill.

I will take you on the team again next season.

Thanks.

[Juggity]

Thank you Hill!

[DPG21920]

Hill, what a finish. Thank God.

Just give yourselves a chance to win. That is all I want at this point. No 3 ball.

[NewJerSpur]

George Hill....game still in reach. Timmy rebounding the air out of the ball. Get a stop.

[noles1983]

why tease us spurs? havent you fucked us enough?

[mexicanjunior]

Why the fuck did we laugh at the Mavs in 07. This shit is even more pathetic.

The 07 Mavs would sweep this team...

[ffadicted]

Shit, 1 posession game no matter what for the last shot....

[hitmanyr2k]

Tough layup by Boy George.

[Trainwreck2100]

OMFG a fast break basket

[Obstructed_View]

So the Spurs are down one with 38 seconds to go.

Do you guys still think the offense first game plan was a good idea?

[Crookshanks]

I heard some guys today on ESPN and they were talking about the Spurs. They hit it on the head when they said Pop went away from what won 4 Championships. He let them be a run-and-gun team and relied waaaaaaay too heavily on the 3 ball.

And that's why we're losing this series - because the Spurs no longer play lock-down defense and they chuck 3's when they should be taking it to the rim. Live by the 3 - and now we're going to DIE by the 3.

Pop - I hope you're happy with your little experiment. What a waste of a season!

[++SaiNt TiAg0++]

i fucking hate bill land we could be losing by 20 and the guy acts like were doing amazing and talks about our amazing regular season record typical pop drone

[baseline bum]

Come on... one stop for the life of this team as we know it.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

... oh man, I'm getting nervous

[LnGrrrR]

Game's not over yet, you quitters...

[timtonymanu]

Seriously Hill. Could have used that shit earlier in the series.

[IronMaxipad]

Give the ball to Jordan Young so he can end this shit already

[pjjrfan]

This team is a killer. damn, get a stop

[TDfan2007]

OMG...No FUCKING 3s!

[Killakobe81]

GREAT finish by Hill ...yall need to stop hating on the kid ...

[Tp9gospursgo]

Fuck Yeah!! Defense!

[siraulo23]

pffffft

Im going to believe one last time this season.
Stop.
1.

[DPG21920]

Will Memphis finally falter?

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu with 6 TO's

[Fireball]

George Hill with a tough layup ... whew

[Libri]

http://www.pethumor.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/image00222-783888.jpg

[++SaiNt TiAg0++]

please god give this team a damn break

[Nathan89]

Put Novak in. Best shooter in the World.

[MannyIsGod]

So, the season of a Spurs team that sucks at late game execution and at getting stops comes down to just that.

[NewJerSpur]

Hill, what a finish. Thank God.

Just give yourselves a chance to win. That is all I want at this point. No 3 ball.

[Jelloisjigglin]

Such classy officiating in this game

[4>0rings]

GREAT finish by Hill ...yall need to stop hating on the kid ...
That doesnt make up for his total ineptitude for 5 games besides one shot.

[ManuTP9]

I would hate to lose this game like this,and if we do win we can not keep playing like this

[Uriel]

1.

[2Cleva]

Watching a franchise on their championship deathbed is surreal.

[Spurs Brazil]

One more stop.

[DPG21920]

No dagger bull shit shots please. Thanks.

[milkyway21]

Hill 3.

Defense

[Spur-Addict]

Boards, box out

[Mal]

The 07 Mavs would sweep this team...

And this team would sweep 07 Warriors. Stop this bs

[peskypesky]

this must've been what it felt like to watch Joe Louis lose in the ring.

[timvp]

Stop.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

One stop

[rwb]

All I wanted was one last win at home and then they could lose in Memphis. But no. Pop I hate you.

[milkyway21]

Hill 3.

Defense

[SpurOutofTownFan]

6-21

[Whisky Dog]

This is it. Can they survive? Tim D era of champions down to a few seconds left. Been a great ride

[davethedope]

Hush now, sez Zbone

[CFH]

Yup

[mexicanjunior]

If Tim Duncan hadn't gotten injured by the Warriors, how differently would have this postseason have turned out?

Manu injury has more to do with this than Duncan's...

[tlongII]

Z-Bo!

[sribb43]

Z-booooooooooooooooo

[baseline bum]

SHIT :pctoss

[DPG21920]

Wow. Bull shit dagger. 1 second left. Unfuckingreal.

[Obstructed_View]

That's appropriate.

[ArtVandelay]

lmao
none of these shots are dropping next round

[IronMaxipad]

Ice cold fukker

[Nathan89]

Novak for the World.

[ManuTP9]

Fuck you Randolph you piece of fucking shit

[Brazil]

Game's not over yet, you quitters...

thats easy for you to say that, boston swept the knicks and we are just trying to not be ridiculous

[Mal]

Zach Randolph :lmao

[boutons_deux]

wow, Randolph wins 2 of 4 games.

[MannyIsGod]

Wow, Randolph has been waiting his whole career to do the "shh" sign.

[BobEX]

Ugh. Randolph has played huge this whole series. :(

[noles1983]

randolph and his fucking prayers. get in a car wreck tonight you fat fuck

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

wow

[rasho8]

Lets just close this shit out like we have been. Put Bonner in, choke it away, fuck off.

[Uriel]

Oh my.

[leemajors]

Bonner airball for the loss?

[Texas_Ranger]

Don't know if I should cry or laugh at this.

[Quiet Strength]

Fuck!! They should have fucking doubled him. Not enough time for a damn pass. Damn it!!

[siraulo23]

You suck Mcdyess

[Sigz]

game.

[blkroadrunners]

Clutch shot.

[Greg Oden]

Zach Fatdolph has released his smeagma all over san antonio :lmao

[DPG21920]

Hats off, Zbo. You have made incredibly huge, clutch shots.

[ffadicted]

Fucking zbo

[Mal]

Who will miss this three ?

[timvp]

McDyess gave him too much space.

Well, here's the season.

Three-pointer.

Please.

[NewJerSpur]

Z-Bo again. I would say go for the 2, but the way the offense is executing we'd probably turn the ball over with MEM giving us the lane.

[IronMexican]

:lmao this commercial before the end of the game.

[milkyway21]

what's the AT & T scenario. Spurs fans still inside the arena?

[Obstructed_View]

And the .4 commercial. Fuck the NBA.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

:lol That was so fuckin appropriate

[Brazil]

Zach with the goods

now look at a BS 3 from manu

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Basically +10 on rebounds and 50% FG shooting... it's crazy - it's pretty difficult to win like that

[Spurminator]

Great timing on this NBA commercial.

[TD4THREE]

Did anyone really think that wasn't going in?

[4>0rings]

Novak for the inbounds!

[Juggity]

One chance. Neal, Novak, Bonner.

[davethedope]

One last shot, then it's go bye bye, boom biddy bye bye

[Trainwreck2100]

its only fitting their season comes down to a 3

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

1. Tim and Dice needs to retire.
2. Jefferson needs to stop playing in the NBA.
3. Bonner should go make 3-layered sandwiches instead.

[Killakobe81]

Wow Zbo, Spur fans who do you want with this 3? Neal, Manu, Bonner?

Grizz can NOT give a good look if they want this ...though far from a convincing win but if Spurs win ...HUGE pressure on Grizz in Game 6 ...

[pjjrfan]

That kind of guy is what we are missing, Randolph being clutch as the clock runs down, Manu was it earlier but now we have no one.

[mexicanjunior]

And this team would sweep 07 Warriors. Stop this bs

You are high...that Warriors team knew how to execute and had toughness...they would do no worse than this Grizzlies team is doing now...

[ffadicted]

quick 2 or 3?

[leemajors]

Commedia dell'arte

[timtonymanu]

Good job, Z-Bo. You've certainly ended your "cancer player" status.

[LnGrrrR]

Give it to Tim Duncan!

[Killakobe81]

Wow Zbo, Spur fans who do you want with this 3? Neal, Manu, Bonner?

Grizz can NOT give a good look if they want this ...though far from a convincing win but if Spurs win ...HUGE pressure on Grizz in Game 6 ...

[IknowU]

FML :(

It was a good ride

[Ice009]

Wow Randolph.

Thanks for playing Matt Bonner and DeJuan Blair on him earlier in the series to get his confidence through the roof.

HIT a 3 Spurs.

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

Does Bonner have what it takes?


:( :( :( :(

[Spur-Addict]

Nice Hit from Zach. Draw it up Pop, draw it up.

[Spurs Brazil]

Now just a miracle

[Death In June]

SA savior Bonner in for the final play

[IknowU]

FML :(

It was a good ride

[Fireball]

Who will miss this three ?

Manu will be crowded, still take the shot ... airball

[NewJerSpur]

1 time....

[pjjrfan]

bonner is not going to shoot a 3

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Don't know if I should cry or laugh at this.

I'm honestly laughing

[Brazil]

Who will miss this three ?

Manu FTW

[Obstructed_View]

Give it to Gary Neal.

[davethedope]

hopefully they let bonner taker it.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

here we go

[DPG21920]

Smart.

[MannyIsGod]

Great great play. 3 seconds for 2 points.
