Game Thread: Spurs vs Grizzlies - Dec. 1 @ 7:30 PM CST

[ace3g]

Pop most likely going to use the TP, Neal, Green, Duncan, Splitter line up vs big Grizzlies.

I think this is a another great game to use the "big" line up of Diaw at SF, Duncan, and Splitter especially if rebounding becomes an issue. Of course it will be interesting to see if Pop continues to use that type of line up when Kawhi and SJAX returns. Because while it is a big line up, you don't lose that much mobility on the defensive end.

[xtremesteven33]

BIG game tomorrow. Spurs are riding with a lot of momentum going into this which is odd considering they lost. The Spurs have a chance to make a huge statement to the rest of the league seeing as how all eyes are on San Antonio this week.

[bthewigwam]

Thought Kawhi was targeting this game for his return?

[Mel_13]

Thought Kawhi was targeting this game for his return?

Not his call. Spurs have three days off after the Memphis game. I'd guess that Kawhi will be back for the Milwaukee game on Wednesday.

[Kidd K]

I think Kawhi is a game time decision for this game. He's close to being back, and we could use him to help defend Rudy Gay, one of the top 5 SFs in the NBA. Might be worth running him for 15 mins or so to take some of the burden off Green and Ginobili. Gay is going to be a real handful.

Looking forward to the game though, the Grizzlies are really clicking this year. Should be a dope game, and it's going to be a big factor in the seeding this year.

[freetiago]

Kawhi was suppose to be back for this game
but they did say on the broadcast that he wasnt ready for another week
if he does come back i wonder how pop will manage him
leonards biggest strength defensively is his post defense which is why rudy gay has struggled vs him
im not sure if leonard was able to come back earlier and just didnt bother coming to the trip to make sure he was 100% or if he is like 90% and hes coming back as early as possible

[racm]

Gay is the least of the Spurs' problems. Limiting Randolph on the boards is and getting past that backcourt of Conley/Allen.

Strong agree. Gay actually had a negative plus/minus last season, I presume because he's a high volume jump shooter who keeps the ball from the high % shooters like Gasol and Randolph. He's obviously a great player, but he oversteps his bounds a little too much when he's out there, and should defer to other players more than he does.

[Obstructed_View]

I hope the Spurs don't get sanctioned for not playing Kawhi.

How can he be a gametime decision? Thought the league needs ample notice when sitting players lol

[superjames1992]

Captain Popsickle is going to have this team pissed off and angry. The Grizzlies are going to get rolled.

Stern has awakened a beast.

He's also the worst defender among their starters. The Spurs swept them last season by turning Gay into a chucker (having Kawhi to dog him helped too).

[ChuckD]

It would be funny if the Spurs put black and white color cards down on the upper deck seating, and when held up, they spelled out FUCK STERN. Won't happen, so we'll need the crowd to start the chant.

[Bill_Brasky]

Zbo will go HAM on offensive rebounds if we're not careful.

[racm]

Zbo will go HAM on offensive rebounds if we're not careful.

We need Bonbon's defensive rebounding. :lol

[ChuckD]

Zbo will go HAM on offensive rebounds if we're not careful.

The Grizz don't have a chance tomorrow night. The Spurs are going to obliterate them in lieu of dog piling on Stern.

[racm]

Especially given how well Tiago's playing... only problem he has is that he's invisible after every great game

[td_tp_manu]

If I were Pop I would rest the Big 3 again. Just for Mr. Stern.

[racm]

Memphis is a division rival and this game means more for playoff contention.

[Stabula]

I'm crossing my fingers for Kawhi's return so we don't get fined again

[SpursRock20]

I'm loving this Spurs team more than I ever had this early in the season. It seems that we now have this "us against the world" mentality. Might light a fire under our asses this postseason!

[superjames1992]

I'm crossing my fingers for Kawhi's return so we don't get fined again
If Timmy, Tony, and Manu don't play 40+ minutes, Stern and his gang of thugs will likely levy more sanctions. I hear a two-year playoff ban and a $500,000 fine are on tap for the next "infraction".

fuck this game. Spurs get pummeled.... by the refs

[MR-Clutch]

Pop should rest the starters again...

[polandprzem]

It's gonna be interesting what lineup will Stern pick for this game.
Manu probably as a starter IMO

[Legacy]

fuck this game. Spurs get pummeled.... by the refs

Wouldn't surprise me one fucking bit. Stern has all his Spurs voodoo dolls out now... How dare we pull his pants down like that on national television. :wow Greedy-ass fuck needs to die already.

[Spurs da champs]

Love when the Grizzlies & Spurs play, they're easily the most physical games of the year when these 2 meet up.

And you'd be lying to yourself if you say Rudy Gay aint the biggest problem considering Jack & Kawhi (?) are out, he'll just shoot over everyone else.

[Kidd K]

How can he be a gametime decision? Thought the league needs ample notice when sitting players lol

lol. Fuckin Stern.

Watch for shit calls and/or inexplicable technical fouls against us tonight. I know Stern's too smart to call for a cheap Popovich ejection. . .but he's fuckin senile now, so who knows.

[bigfan]

Ok, time to beat the crap out of the grizz.

Preventing ZBo and Marc from dominating the boards and taking care of the ball against Conley and Allen are more important.

We get the other Crawford.

Tonight's officials:

Dan Crawford

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[DPG21920]

Everyone with their "Jew" comments are really ignorant.

[ace3g]

Maybe Stern will send those referees home without informing the Spurs, the media, or the league and Joey Crawford will ref the entire game by himself...

[McGusto55]

Spurs whipp that ass....

sa2ny2004 ‏@sa2ny2004 (https://twitter.com/sa2ny2004) Manu Ginobili is 12 points away from surpassing James Silas into sixth place on the #Spurs (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Spurs&src=hash) all-time points list. #gospursgo (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23gospursgo&src=hash)

Will be at the game tonight and looking to print a shirt. Thinking 'Fine This' with an arrow pointing to my crotch. And 'Coach so Hard...' On the back. Any ideas?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Stern will fix this gane to send another "message"...

[velik_m]

:flag:

[HI-FI]

Stern will fix this gane to send another "message"...

this is my fear as well. He's such a corrupt shithead, I don't think he's done sending his message. still it should be a great game. Hope Kawhi is finally healthy and back.

[TD 21]

Preventing ZBo and Marc from dominating the boards and taking care of the ball against Conley and Allen are more important.

No disrespect, but do people even watch Gasol? So many act like he's a dominant low post scorer and rebounder and all around brute. But the truth is, he's become a pathetic rebounder, he's rarely aggressive looking for his own offense and he spends copious amounts of time facilitating a lot of their offense through the mid and high post. I'm not saying he's a soft player and can't be physical, but he's a lot more finesse than many seem to realize.

He's Splitter with an extra 30 lbs and a hook shot that actually goes in.

[007nites]

This will be a good test for Splitter. I hope he goes into the Varejao mode again.

[DesignatedT]

Any news on Kawhi?

[007nites]

This, Gasol only has had 2 double digit rebounding games this season in 36 minutes per game!!

Gasol and Randolph compliment each other perfectly. That's what makes them such a great duo. Randolph is averaging around 13+ boards a game. That doesn't leave many boards for Gasol to grab.

[siraulo23]

yeah i thought he said he's targeting memphis game

[Spurs Brazil]

JMcDonald_SAEN In less expensive pregame news: Pop says it's unlikely Kawhi Leonard plays at all on three-game homestand, Jack still out "couple weeks."

[emanueldavidginobili]

Gasol and Randolph compliment each other perfectly. That's what makes them such a great duo. Randolph is averaging around 13+ boards a game. That doesn't leave many boards for Gasol to grab.Yeah I know that I was just making the point that Gasol is finesse than people think like you said Randolph is averaging 13 boards and Gasol is getting 7 Randolph is 6'9 260 Gasol is 7'1 265 the numbers should be reversed

[DesignatedT]

sigh. Damn.

[007nites]

Yeah I know that I was just making the point that Gasol is finesse than people think like you said Randolph is averaging 13 boards and Gasol is getting 7 Randolph is 6'9 260 Gasol is 7'1 265 the numbers should be reversed

Apart from Pekovic and from what I've seen maybe Valanciunas. I haven't seen many Euro bigs who aren't incredibly finesse.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Kick some Stern, Spurs!

[Spurs Brazil]

JMcDonald_SAEN Tony Allen (groin) out for Grizzlies tonight against Spurs

[JRHernandez88]

This is going to be a good 1. The Spurs are going to have some extra fire in them from here on out.










this season is starting to get veryyyyyyy interesting... :corn:

[JRHernandez88]

JMcDonald_SAEN Tony Allen (groin) out for Grizzlies tonight against Spurs

:toast Good to hear.

Atleast that can offset our best perimeter defender being out. & Im sure Manu is relieved... Dude looks like he has something personal with him. Manu will get buckets regardless tho, even with one arm tied to his back :king

[ace3g]

Spurs wearing Alt jerseys tonight

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN, Memphis call

[Kidd K]

Two interesting aspects to this game:

If the Spurs win, Pop/the Spurs were right.

If the Spurs win big, Stern looks like a fool.

If the refs appear to be favoring the Grizzlies, it validates league conspiracy theories.



Side note: I'm not sure why, but the NBA repeatedly airs the opposing team's announcer on league pass even for Spurs home games. 50% of them are the away announcers, while 100% of away games are the home announcers for those teams. I really wanted to hear what Bill Land and Sean ****** had to say about Stern. Oh well.

[Kidd K]

DAMN, Memphis call

Yeah for real. they keep doing away announcers for Spurs home games. Have you noticed that? It's like 50/50 for home games. . .yet 0/100 for away games.

[Spurs Brazil]

[ace3g]

Splitter not starting, interesting

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnn, Memphis announcers. Wanted to hear Seans take on the fine :lol

Does anyone watching in San Antonio have the Spurs announcers? I'd be very interested in this as well.

This game should be a ripper.

I think we will meet these guys in either the conference semis or finals.

Isn't Kawhi due back today?

[EVAY]

Not a single word. As though nothing at all happened. Pop was even interviewed on the pregame show and it was as though they didn't know anything about it. The word has gone out...any announcer that brings it up is in big trouble...so none of them are.

[timvp]

Strong start for TP.

Pop in love with Blair.

[AussieFanKurt]

We are getting lucky on some calls/no calls so far

[Arcadian]

Hahaha, Tim stared down Gasol after dunking on him. I've never seen him do that before. He usually just hands the ball to the referee or person inbounding the ball.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Grizz announcers SUCK. Why the hell do we get away announcers for home games? I'm fine with away announcers for away games, but at home it messes up the coverage - we just saw a replay of Marc Gasol for 2 rather than Tim's primal scream poster! WTF NBA???

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs doing a very good job on the boards so far

Yeah, I guess the rest hurt him.

He was the puzzling one as far as the rest was concerned - maybe he's carrying a minor injury?

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs missing a lot of open shots

[howbouthemspurs]

Grizzles sucking defensively ... lucky for them Spurs are missing wide open shots!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Good effort so far, sucks that our shots aren't falling.

[racm]

Yeah, I guess the rest hurt him.

He was the puzzling one as far as the rest was concerned - maybe he's carrying a minor injury?

I thought I saw him limp at one point...

[Kuestmaster]

Is Diaw not allowed to shot the basketball?

[Reck]

Looked like splitter caught an unknown substance or something. Couldn't wait to pass it back.

Cant handle pressure to save his skin.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dude, there are two Gasol brothers in the NBA: Pau and Fat.

Fat, aka the bear with a brain, is a really good player - better defender and as good a passer as his brother. I think he deserves some respect for the way he's developed his game.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I thought I saw him limp at one point...

I'll keep an eye out too. He may well be playing injured given that we're so thin at the 2/3 right now. Would explain his off shooting too.

[timvp]

Horrible ball movement lately.

[Trainwreck2100]

lol bayless

[DesignatedT]

weak tiago

[timvp]

Wasn't a foul and he wasn't shooting.

[howbouthemspurs]

damn.. the shots are just not falling!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We are ice-cold from everywhere. :depressed

[Ice009]

I am fucking mad. Spurs should be up 10. Piss poor shooting. rushing every shot.

[DesignatedT]

They'll start falling. No worries.

[Captivus]

just bad luck...

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I understand that Tiago shoots close shots from behind his body so that he doesn't get blocked, but a lot of times it is really unnecessary.

[howbouthemspurs]

take the lid off that hoop!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Is it just me, or could Bayless and Boozer be cousins? :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

make a fucking shot doucheheads

Rebounding fall apart.

Fat, aka the bear with a brain, is a really good player - better defender and as good a passer as his brother. I think he deserves some respect for the way he's developed his game.

He's tougher and more physical too. I love his game.

[Kuestmaster]

what if we start making some shots?

[Reck]

Yeah keep chucking them 3s, eventually they'll go in when you're down 30.

[timtonymanu]

Where are the role players for our team? It's only the Big 3 all contributing.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago with a pathetic effort. Sit him

[Captivus]

didnt like that call.

[carina_gino20]

How about giving it to TD? :rolleyes

[howbouthemspurs]

havent made a shot in a while .. starting to get worried

[Trainwreck2100]

blair has 1 point and that's it in terms of nonbig 3 scoring

[Ice009]

Basketball gods punish the Spurs for sitting players. I fucking hate it when Pop sits players. It's weak. Just limit minutes.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

He's tougher and more physical too. I love his game.

Me too - tough, physical, good rebounder, great man and help defender, great passer, nice 15fter, tough and gritty. If he were a Spur we could play true Twin Towers action again, would be a lock for the Finals.

[McGusto55]

Can somebody score

[Kuestmaster]

Give the ball to Timmy. All the game.

[Warlord23]

At this rate Pop might as well try Bonner. The Grizz are owning the boards, and Splitter is useless on offense

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

9-0 run by Grizzlies broken by sweet Timmy drop-step.

[howbouthemspurs]

Finally! a basket!

[DesignatedT]

That's enough Splitter.

[timvp]

Greal = 0-for-11

[Juggity]

0-10 from three is pretty awful

[Kuestmaster]

someone needs to tell Splitter that he doesnt have to use his hook when no one can block him

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Timmy is PWNing BwaB in the post today. Not many players can do that.

[Captivus]

ok people, change position!! take your shoes off, do something!

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs shooting 30% to the Grizzers 36%

[howbouthemspurs]

ugly game so far

[ace3g]

when Green is like this, should go to Anderson

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Today is a great example of why we need to ship Splitter and baggage for Varejao - Andy dunks finishes that Splitter is soft-hooking. And he's a better defender and rebounder. Get it done FO!

[timvp]

With the non Big 3 0-for-14, I guess it's not horrible that the Spurs are only down by 4.

[DesignatedT]

Why haven't we traded Blair yet.

[Kuestmaster]

Oh, Timmy. I love you man

[Juggity]

Tim fucking duncan. This guy.

[howbouthemspurs]

Spurs are so lucky to only be down by 4

[capek]

Our defense is looking pretty good at least. Just gotta start hitting our shots.

[McGusto55]

Tim tearing shit up...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Given that we haven't hit a 3 yet, why no Bonner? He's only making over 60% of them this season... :rolleyes

[Spurs Brazil]

Timmy dominating but he needs help

[Capt Bringdown]

Planet Blair

[howbouthemspurs]

Never thought I say this but put Bonner in there

[McGusto55]

Second half will see matty

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If we're going to have Bonner on the roster, these are the kinds of situations (ie ice-cold outside shooting by whole team) that he SHOULD PLAY.

[DMC]

Memphis is a good squad. This is basically the "8th seed" that beat us a couple back.

[howbouthemspurs]

Timmy cant do this byhimself

[Trainwreck2100]

Given that we haven't hit a 3 yet, why no Bonner? He's only making over 60% of them this season... :rolleyes

[Ice009]

This is the exact kind of situation Bonner should be used in. Man, Pop has just had no idea how to use him the last three years.

[ace3g]

Timmy!!

[007nites]

TIMMAAYY!

[Ice009]

If we're going to have Bonner on the roster, these are the kinds of situations (ie ice-cold outside shooting by whole team) that he SHOULD PLAY.

Exactly!

[McGusto55]

And 1....Timmy

[Juggity]

Duncan will not be denied

[Kidd K]

Tim Duncan's looking amazing. Converting even on shots where he gets fouled but no call (finally got one just now though)

Also. . .yeah, I agree with putting in Bonner for a bit since our 3pt shooting is otherwise terrible. Blair and Shitter keep giving up offensive boards anyway, so it's not like it'll be any worse than it already has been.

[Kuestmaster]

Give it to Timmy and don't allow Parker to ballhog again tonight.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim is in GOD-MODE. :D

[Kidd K]

Parker with the pep in his step!

[024]

blair with good defense

[howbouthemspurs]

And one!

[007nites]

I have to say that Blair is holding his own down low.

[capek]

massive fan-boner for Timmy right now. Dude is kicking ass and taking names! :ihit

[timvp]

Blair is D'ing up. TD is TDing. Parker finishes again.

How the hell are the Spurs up?

[McGusto55]

Bonner cant rebound

[milkyway21]

hey Gasol has 3 fouls already???

[Kidd K]

Looks like Timmy ate a big meal before the game, because he's taking a huge shit on the Grizzlies' frontcourt right now.

[howbouthemspurs]

Yes ... just keep the points in the paint

[Bill_Brasky]

Blair = zbo killer?

[Trainwreck2100]

Meanwhile Stern is watching this and wondering why the Spurs' scrubs didn't play this shitty on Thursday

[007nites]

Blair is D'ing up. TD is TDing. Parker finishes again.

How the hell are the Spurs up?


Blair is one guy Randolph can't back down.

[Spurs Brazil]

Timmy with another MVP game. Blair doing a good job on Z-Bo

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Timmy just carreied us through what could have been a game-breaking sequence. Awesome work from the first ballot HoFer. :tu

[Kidd K]

hey Gaol has 3 fouls already???

Yup, that offensive foul he picked up earlier gave him his 2nd

[timtonymanu]

Blair loves playing against Z-Bo.

[howbouthemspurs]

Tim continues to amaze me

[MI21]

With this shitty performance by everyone but the big 3, maybe it is the after effects of them playing to many minutes they aren't used to in Miami?

[Manu-20]

Image if we can have this tim in the playoffs plus with everyone healthy rolling into the playoffs this team can be scary.

[carina_gino20]

TD is just...WOW.

[007nites]

Blair is killing it on D

[carina_gino20]

With this shitty performance by everyone but the big 3, maybe it is the after effects of them playing to many minutes they aren't used to in Miami?

No excuses for Green. :lol

[Kidd K]

Good makeup steal by Manu. And Duncan AGAIN! :lmao

[Juggity]

Duncan is our only weapon that is capable of consistently producing against big teams. He's the key.

[howbouthemspurs]

Duncan in GOAT mode
