Playoffs Game Blog: Spurs @ Grizzlies - Game 6 - April 29

[westbound17]

I don't know what to say anymore, this is a lost game.

[Spurologist]

unfuckingbelievable...manu didn't show up so it looks done

FUCK :pctoss

[timtonymanu]

All because of soft jump shots. We were down 1. Then Bonner shoots a stupid 3. Making harder for yourselves than it needs to be. Great offensive execution wins you the game.

[HarlemHeat37]

Darrell Arthur is Channing Frye 2.0..shitty player that looks great against the Spurs lack of a matchup, and will be an absolute scrub in the next series..

[boutons_deux]

fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

[MI21]

That's the game right there, can't close out the quarter you are not going to win.

I've never seen Manu be such a liability on both ends. Ginobili has been pathetic on defense.

[DesignatedT]

manu wow

[Spurologist]

unfuckingbelievable...manu didn't show up so it looks done

FUCK :pctoss

[Bulwark]

Manu plays Great D

[El Contusion II]

MIA Manu

[scampers]

Manuuu

[Capt Bringdown]

Meltdown with these 3's. It's over -the Spurs suck.

[mattyc]

Manu wtf!!!!!

[ffadicted]

Manu!!!

[4>0rings]

And 1 you fuck face refs!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Beaverfuzz]

Bang!!!

[resistanze]

Gino NEEDED that.

[IronMexican]

Crazy shot.

[Nathan89]

Fuck yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssss sss

[Spurtacus]

Ginobili is terrible tonight. We lose the loss is on him.

I am so so sorry Manu...

[siraulo23]

manu trezsssssssssss@#E$ZF$$

[Spurologist]

mmmmmmaaaaaaannnnnnnnuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 33333333333333333333333333333

[pjjrfan]

What a time for Manu to show his age. And he hits the three

[Spur-Addict]

WOw, I take that back LOL

[VBM]

Shit what a shot...now build off that Manu

[benefactor]

Whoa!

[NewJerSpur]

More luck....hopefully that gets you going Manu, and you got fouled.

[024]

lol ginobili makes that but can't make his 3 pt shots

[davethedope]

gimme that, and no foul

[~Sweetmelody~]

Omg! Lololol

[blkroadrunners]

That will get your confidence back.

[siraulo23]

It was a 2. Fuck

[hitmanyr2k]

:lol :lol Only Ginobili could do that shit. Ran that MF over like Walter Payton and hit the buzzer beater.

[LakerHater]

Half court shot & no foul for Manu!!!

FUUUUCK!!

[JustinJDW]

Holy fuck manu!

[ABrooks111]

And 1, mother fucker.

[AnthonyM]

The funniest thing about Manu's halfcourt shot is it should have been an and-1 lmao

[timtonymanu]

Didn't cut the deficit but the lead isnt that big. Come on Spurs. Please play a complete 4th quarter.

[MI21]

Fuck, wow.

That is so damn lucky. Memphis start with the ball in the 4th, so that was just so damn needed.

[Otaku]

Spurs win this game, book it.

[Hemotivo]

It was a 2. Fuck

:lol

[Fireball]

Meltdown with these 3's. It's over -the Spurs suck.


:lmao :lmao :lmao

[Spurologist]

2 miracle shots deserve another....stay tuned

[spurspokesman]

:lol :lol Only Ginobili could do that shit. Ran that MF over like Walter Payton and hit the buzzer beater.
this

[scampers]

Y'all outscored the Grizz by 5 in the second quarter. Do that again!

[Kori Ellis]

Hopefully that Manu shot gets everyone going. The Spurs have to jump all over them in the 4th.

[BRHornet45]

damn the only reason the Spurs didn't get SWEPT this series is because of fluke, lucky shots like that.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs can't hit 3Gs in MEM

[suitedkings]

that shot was huge to silence the crowd

[Supergirl]

hopefully that halfcourt 3 pter from Manu gets him going in the 4th...he's our closer.

[Bulwark]

"SOmetimes people need a half court shot to go in to get going" - Mark Jackson

[HarlemHeat37]

That should have been an and-1, too..

Spurs need to step the fuck up..stop letting them score on easy alley-oops..stop chucking jump shots..

Manu and Parker need to own this quarter..

[baseline bum]

That should have been a four-point play.

[GrandeDavid]

Where Manu's free throw!? Freaking foul!

[rasho8]

Manus luck 3 makes this the best third quarter we have had yet. Now hopefully that sparks us to move the ball and respond with some energy and step on these guys throats.

[Fireball]

i cannot take this anymore ... how many miracles do we need instead of solid defense

[RashoFan]

Nice close on the third by MANU!!!

[fotan2]

got lucky this time. the god doesn't want us die yet

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Hopefully that wakes Manu the fuck up.

I won't be able to sleep tonight if we get eliminated with Ginobili playing like this

[Spurs Brazil]

1.

[024]

looks like manu + duncan have given up. spurs are only on life support because of parker + some role players. grizzlies are getting ready to close this out in the 4th unless duncan and manu show up. i doubt it though, duncan hasn't shown up in the second half all series and ginobili could still commit 9932838420 turnovers even when he does show up.

[MannyIsGod]

Spurs need to hit open 3s. Missing them all. The Spurs will not win if they miss all of their open 3s.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Hopefully that wakes Manu the fuck up.

I won't be able to sleep tonight if we get eliminated with Ginobili playing like this

[Spurologist]

If Allen's arm is as bad as he's making it out to be, things will gets interesting for manu.

Outside of that 3, he has been garbage...Mark Jackson is rightfully calling him out

[Spurologist]

If Allen's arm is as bad as he's making it out to be, things will gets interesting for manu.

Outside of that 3, he has been garbage...Mark Jackson is rightfully calling him out

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

They are just a better team than us right now. Three months ago we would have advanced in 4 or 5 games, but right now the Grizz are deeper, more poised, tougher and have a better plan than we do. How the fuck does this happen??? :pctoss

[++SaiNt TiAg0++]

fucking manu man i love that dudes energy

[Beaverfuzz]

This is it. Do or die. Have to outscore Memphis by five or more points. WE CAN DO THIS!

[pjjrfan]

OK it's time some people step up.

[senorglory]

And 1 you fuck face refs!

no kidding.

[Capt Bringdown]

Can we please play some high IQ basketball? Please?

[timvp]

Believe.

[~Sweetmelody~]

Come on spurs! Go spurs go! Go spurs go!

[Nathan89]

Hopefully that wakes Manu the fuck up.

I won't be able to sleep tonight if we get eliminated with Ginobili playing like this

Me neither :depressed

[VBM]

Box out...please

[davethedope]

spurs need to D UP!

[NewJerSpur]

Splitter's got to boxout there.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

First time I ever say this but. . .

Believe.

[Spurologist]

It was a 2. Fuck

:lmao

[NewJerSpur]

Neal getting beat on the backdoor.

[VBM]

Memphis spreads the floor so well...the paint is just open

[ffadicted]

so many second chance points, fuck sakes

[024]

the best thing spur fans can wish for now is not getting blown out in the 4th. game is already over but i prefer the spurs to go down fighting.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm cheering for the Spurs to win, so I don't mind losing the $..I bet against them so I could get something out of it, in case the Spurs lose..if the Grizzlies win AND I lose my bet, that's potentially suicide inducing..

My friend does the same thing when his Aussie Rules team is playing. He calls it "emotional insurance". :lol

[IronMexican]

Does Randolph ever break a sweat?

[Spurminator]

They are going for loose balls and rebounds like rabid dogs. We are going for them like they're going to find our fingers magnetically.

[HarlemHeat37]

Memphis is living off the same play, every time..

Double Randolph, they cut down the middle..

Drive inside, miss, offensive putback..

[stealthjbravo]

Neal getting beat on the backdoor.

lol?

[CubanMustGo]

Ticky tack shit fouls called on SA, Memphis can mug Spurs and no call. Fuck the NBA.

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, we're right there.

[BigJoeD]

Let's go Spurs!!! Cooooommmmmmeeeee Onnnnnnnnn!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck

[slick'81]

tic tic tic

[Beaverfuzz]

One guy outrebounds four Spurs? Done.

[ffadicted]

That right there just proved that memphis wants this way more

[Biggems]

nice to see the Spurs are immune to converting within 2 ft of the basket

[JohnnySixString]

spurs need to D UP!

:lol

:rollin

[NewJerSpur]

Allen ran into Bonner, unbelievable.

[Spur-Addict]

O Boards are killers. 2 so far in the quarter

[resistanze]

Tony Fucking Allen owning the Spurs...

[hitmanyr2k]

Fuck me. Allen talks a lot of smack but he's a guy you want on your team.

[peskypesky]

falling apart to start the 4th

[slick'81]

lol tony allen acting like a little bitch

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Quarter-time interviews are asinine, inane and utterly pointless.

[NewJerSpur]

Correction, good call on Matt.

[davethedope]

Tony Allen is so fucking annoying. Just get up. Fucking asshole.

[Spurtacus]

FUCK YOU REFS

Hill was fouled and Bonner was pushed.

FUCK YOU REFS

Refs cost us this damn series.

[IronMexican]

Bonner so dirt.

[Spurologist]

:lmao Tony Allen

[~Sweetmelody~]

Allen really? Getting upset at Bonner?! LOL

[El Contusion II]

We need tim for the entire fourth

[GrandeDavid]

Spurs deserve to lose getting out boarded and showed up.

[timtonymanu]

Memphis looks ready to advance. Spurs look like they just wanted to stay home. Making you look like bitches.

[ffadicted]

Allen is a fucking thug... this entire memphis team is full of thugs

wish we had that kind of energy.....

[Spurs Brazil]

Where is Tony?

[NewJerSpur]

Grizz are earning it, we've got to take it back on defense.

[VBM]

We need tim for the entire fourth

Tim's been shit all game

[Splits]

mother fucker was out of bounds. calling that a foul is BULLSHIT

[Spur-Addict]

Give everything you got. 10 minutes and 11 seconds.

[Libri]

Allen :flipoff

[NewJerSpur]

Bout to mute the TV again, lol.

[Fireball]

now the bench sucks ... shit

[MI21]

Incredible no call for George was an absolute momentum changer.

[El Contusion II]

Manu needs to box out

[duncan228]

My God, the crowd is rabid.

[siraulo23]

fuck, stay close

[AnthonyM]

The foul was on Bonner but that's hardly any contact compared to what's going on in the low post.

Someone needs to get in Randolph's face and talk shit to him.

[resistanze]

Can't see Spurs overcoming this. They don't make stops often enough and when hey do they give up second chance points.

[Spurs Brazil]

3rd team foul already

[024]

the best thing spur fans can wish for now is not getting blown out in the 4th. game is already over but i prefer the spurs to go down fighting.
looks like that's not going to happen... spurs defense getting manhandled by randolph.

[HarlemHeat37]

My friend does the same thing when his Aussie Rules team is playing. He calls it "emotional insurance". :lol

:lol Ya, I've been doing it for years..

I've made a lot of money during this series, since Memphis hasn't been favored by much in any of the games, and the Grizzlies covered the spread in the games that the Spurs won, too..

[VBM]

Grizz going to be shooting FTs all quarter

[peskypesky]

not looking good

[ffadicted]

3 team fouls in 2 minutes.... what the fuck

[Nathan89]

We need Duncan for his size. What is Pop doing?

[itzsoweezee]

Bonner is getting fucking abused

[Texas_Ranger]

Can Bonner please go out.

[hitmanyr2k]

Bonner can't handle that man-child on the inside.

[timtonymanu]

This was honestly such a winnable series for the Spurs if they just showed up.

[Slippy]

please Pop this is obvious. Bonner on arthur isný working at all.

[mattyc]

Need a big play to get back in this.

[NewJerSpur]

Grizz are putting the clamps down and Manu missed Dice streaking.

[El Contusion II]

Tired of this shit!!! We need a fucking zone

[4down]

Insistence on playing Bonner is sinking this ship. So many of y'all called it... baselinebum He's the only constant among the bigs - F you pop

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Tony

[NewJerSpur]

Take'em tony.

[siraulo23]

yes tp!!@

[Capt Bringdown]

After Manu tied it with the 3 early in the 3rd, we've played low IQ ball.

[NewJerSpur]

ticky tack.

[Hemotivo]

bonus 4 memphis

[slick'81]

just foul the fck out bonner you pos

[Spur-Addict]

Bad call on Bonner

[Texas_Ranger]

fuck you Bonner!

[Guru of Nothing]

Believe!

[ffadicted]

All these calls on bonner have actually been BULLSHIT

[boutons_deux]

Bonner is such a klutz

[Nathan89]

Game over. This is like the third of last game.

[Slippy]

Pop's faith in Bonner is the spurs biggest weakness. It's not Bonner's fault

[~Sweetmelody~]

Come on Tim do or die! Let's go Spurs!

[NewJerSpur]

We're going to win or lose with the Big 3.

[GrandeDavid]

Cheating refs won't let anyone breathe on randolph

[slick'81]

last 9 minutes its now or never for our spurs down 5

[timtonymanu]

Can't blame Bonner. These calls are retarded.

[MI21]

I wouldn't mind if the Spurs went to a steady diet of purely Parker - absolutely nothing else is working.

[024]

wtf, is that what a stop looks like??

[JohnnySixString]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/reaper_chevelle/bonnershit.jpg

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We can't hold onto the damn ball. What is that about?

This series makes me think of the 2000 and 2001 teams that choked so badly (although I guess they were also massively outplayed by that awesome Faker team).

[NewJerSpur]

Yes!! Manuuu attack!!

[hitmanyr2k]

This game is there for the taking. The Spurs need to get angry and SEIZE this shit. Ginobili needs to make suicide drives just like those. Leave it all on the floor. There's no tomorrow.

[ffadicted]

Conley with 5 fouls..... only bright spot in this game so far lol

[siraulo23]

great job attacking the rim, manu!

[timvp]

Believe.

[Spurs Brazil]

5th on Conley. Their scrub PG will kill their team now. You will see

[Spur-Addict]

Keep fighting, keep fighting.

[pjjrfan]

What the hell happened with Bonner

[VBM]

Conley with 5 fouls..... only bright spot in this game so far lol

Not when his backup is outplaying him

[Spurologist]

Finally Manu able to get in the paint.

Conley with 5. Vasquez needs to feel the pressure

[MannyIsGod]

Bonner has gotten some really fucking ticky tac calls all night. I don't understand what fouls were committed on some of those calls.

[DesignatedT]

Manu waits until 9 minutes left in the game to drive it to the hoop. Are these his first free throws of the game? lmao

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great. Pop leaves Bonner in where he's clearly outmatched and now he's on 5 fouls and Grizz are in the bonus... what a way to try and win a ball game! :rolleyes

[Nathan89]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/reaper_chevelle/bonnershit.jpg


Stop posting your pictures are to big.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This game is there for the taking. The Spurs need to get angry and SEIZE this shit. Ginobili needs to make suicide drives just like those. Leave it all on the floor. There's no tomorrow.

This.

[4down]

Can't blame Bonner. These calls are retarded.

True - it's just that EVERY opponent is instantly emboldened against hgim

[Biggems]

the officiating is bullshit....randolph is allowed to do whatever he wants and if we even breathe on him it is a foul....

however, stupid turnovers and so many missed shots right at the rim have us in a hole right now. Even with the shitty officiating, the Spurs would be winning if they could convert point blank shots and display better ball protection.

[NewJerSpur]

"You're the best Mr. Snuggles."

[CubanMustGo]

What the hell happened with Bonner

He's been called for at least three "Randolph pushes off, foul on Bonner" calls.

[Horse]

Credit to memphis their better than we thought, but the I've never seen a series so one-sided when it comes to bounces and rolls in the grizzles favor. How many of these ugly-ass memphis shots will go in? How many balls will bounce right to them?

[JohnnySixString]

Stop posting your pictures are to big.


Oh, get over it, the season's almost over.

:lol

[pjjrfan]

With allan and Bonner what was that all about

[HarlemHeat37]

Just keep attacking and playing hard..this is still a game, just match their energy and intensity..

[Borosai]

Sometimes it's good to play borderline-dirty. If you're going to get called for shitty fouls, make them hurt.

[El Contusion II]

The game is in reach,,,, cmon guys dig in and get some fucking stops!!!

[Guajalote]

Refs refs refs

Don't worry Memphis. The refs won't let you lose.

Now Gasol's in. The moving picks can proceed.

[slick'81]

damn wish that was an and1

[Barfunk]

:bang ticky tack fouls against Spurs :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Memphis called that timeout with 3 minutes to go in the 3rd and has made it a point again to attack Bonner relentlessly.

Ticky tack or no, that is what Memphis has been doing. That and crashing those boards.

[Spurologist]

ST posters....what are your thoughts on zone.

It could be very effective....you have to force Memphis to hit outside shot

Pull it pop

[Slippy]

What the hell happened with Bonner

Darrel Arthur. Bonners playing the best he can

[benefactor]

Just keep attacking and playing hard..this is still a game, just match their energy and intensity..

[slick'81]

as long as bonner is in hes a liability .

[NewJerSpur]

With allan and Bonner what was that all about

Allen trying to put the spotlight on himself :rolleyes.

[~Sweetmelody~]

Let's go Spurs! Go Spurs Go! Go Spurs Go!

[Nathan89]

Oh, get over it, the season's almost over.

:lol

FUck you!1!! The shit is annoying. I'm having enough trouble taking in this elimination.

[slick'81]

one more run come on we need tony or manu to get hott

[hitmanyr2k]

I need a good excuse to stay home on Sunday. Hope the Spurs win!!

[Kuestmaster]

refs are screwing us right now. it's like a 5 vs 8. if we can pull this out would be a huge win

[024]

just keep the game close, within 2-3 points and hope for a miracle at the end.

[Spurologist]

Oh, get over it, the season's almost over.

:lol

FUCK....someone please cut off the sigs

[scampers]

FUck you!1!! The shit is annoying. I'm having enough trouble taking in this elimination.

Stop posting, your font is too big.

[siraulo23]

Play like its ur last game, drive!

[Brazil]

You know what if we loose so be it but at least we are playing with heart

[024]

who knew randolph can pass so well ?

[hitmanyr2k]

The Celtics have to be kicking themselves letting Allen go :lol

[timtonymanu]

cant get stops.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice pass by Randolph, stop doubling him....can only double Gasol because he won't pass.

[Supergirl]

yeah, randolph, it's easy to make layups when no one is allowed to guard you huh?

[HarlemHeat37]

Memphis runs the same play every time..somebody stay with Allen, when he's slashing off the ball..

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Supergirl]

Go spurs go

[blkroadrunners]

Parker's ballin.

[BanditHiro]

please we need splitter. he doesn't need a double to take on randolph or gasol

[siraulo23]

tp yes!!

[Spur-Addict]

Get a stop

[Kuestmaster]

tony is playing with huge balls in second half

[024]

tony is playing like his life depended on it, ginobili has some intensity, how about you duncan?!?!?

[slick'81]

wow thAT TONY 3 WAS IN AND OUT

[NewJerSpur]

Game still in hand, Parker shouldn't shoot 3's.

[siraulo23]

damn it tp, why step back

[Capt Bringdown]

You know what if we loose so be it but at least we are playing with heart

Memphis with bigger balls and heart, they've countered every play we've made.

Things pretty even except for that awful 1st quarter, in which we played scared and defeated.

[timtonymanu]

ugh dumb offense again

[slick'81]

AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIR ball

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Hill just fuck

[blkroadrunners]

Come on Hill

[ffadicted]

wow

[Capt Bringdown]

can we stop with the f'n 3s?

[mattyc]

Gah. That hurts

[4>0rings]

Hill, you're bitch made

[HarlemHeat37]

Wow, Hill with the chance to tie it..instead, down 5..what a pussy..

[timtonymanu]

Story of the series: missing key shots.

Fuck you Hill!

[ABrooks111]

Hill just blew this game right there. Fucking awful.

[BanditHiro]

wide open three

[resistanze]

This team doesn't have it.

AIRBALL?

[siraulo23]

fuck we needed that from hill

[DesignatedT]

WHERE IS MANU??????????????????????????????????????? we finally get an open 3 and Hill air balls it lmao

[Spur-Addict]

Put Neal in

[Brazil]

lol Hill

[024]

ok when zach randolph beats you on the fast break, it's time to turn it in.

[Texas_Ranger]

wow... so many chances and they choke.

[boutons_deux]

instead of a tie, down 5
