Spurs-Grizzlies Preview

By TAYLOR BECHTOLD
Posted Jan 10 2013 5:17PM

Still searching for answers as they try to end their road slump, the San Antonio Spurs might have a tough time finding them in a showdown at Memphis.

While the Spurs hope to avoid their seventh loss in nine road games, the Grizzlies look for their fourth straight win as the top two teams in the Southwest Division meet on Friday night.

Memphis (23-10) has a chance to gain ground, entering this game trailing San Antonio (28-10) by 2 1/2 games.

The Spurs, however, have beaten the Grizzlies five straight times, including a 99-95 overtime win on Dec. 1, since Memphis stunned top-seeded San Antonio in the first round of the 2010-11 playoffs.

"You never forget those kinds of series," Spurs guard Tony Parker said. "Memphis is playing well so it's going to be a tough game."

San Antonio captured its 11th straight victory at home with a 108-105 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, but has struggled to find the same success on the road.

Eight of its 10 losses have come there, the latest a 95-88 defeat at New Orleans on Monday that snapped the Hornets' seven-game home losing streak.

San Antonio ranks among the top three in the NBA in scoring at 104.9 points per game, but has averaged just 85.5 in its last two road games compared to 112.0 in its last six at home.

Guard Manu Ginobili, though, has given the team a spark, averaging 19.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists in his last three games.

Tim Duncan and Tony Parker combined for 57 points to lead the Spurs past the visiting Grizzlies in December. Duncan is still posting big numbers against Memphis, averaging 24.7 points and 14.7 rebounds in the last three meetings.

While the Spurs made 12 of 25 (48.0 percent) from beyond the arc against the Lakers, they've hit on 15 of 55 (27.3 percent) in their last two road games.

It doesn't figure to get any easier against a Memphis team leading the NBA in scoring defense (89.1). The Grizzlies have held opponents to just 82.6 points per game over their last seven contests.

"We're just going to have to play a little bit better," Parker said. "That's the NBA season, you're going to have ups and downs."

The Grizzlies return home, where they're 13-4, after sweeping a three-game West Coast road trip. Memphis won for the fourth time in five games with a 94-87 victory at Golden State on Wednesday night.

"We've been going through some ups and downs and had some lapses, some kind of lapse games," guard Rudy Gay said. "We had to come out here for ourselves to get three out of three."

After outscoring the Warriors 60-34 in the paint, the Grizzlies rank near the top of the NBA in points in the paint at 43.8 per game. That could be a factor against the Spurs, who rank in the bottom third of the league this month with an average of 42.4 paint points allowed.

Forward Zach Randolph has made a major impact inside, leading the NBA with 23 double-doubles. He had 17 points and 15 rebounds in last month's loss at San Antonio despite shooting 5 for 21.

Center Marc Gasol has scored 18.7 points per game on 23-of-39 (59.0 percent) in his last three against the Spurs.

The Grizzlies would like to improve their efficiency from the outside after hitting a season-low 2 for 17 (11.8 percent) from 3-point range on Wednesday.

The Spurs have one of the toughest perimeter defenses in the league, ranking second in opponent 3-point percentage (32.7).

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The Spurs have beaten the Grizzlies 5 straight times since 2011.


Let the streak continue!

Meanwhile Coach Hollins continues to take shots at Hollinger (http://blogs.commercialappeal.com/the_memphis_edge/2013/01/griz-coach-lionel-hollins-uncut-uncensored.html)



Lionel: "There's a lot to be said about stats but there's a lot to be said about heart, toughness, courage and bravery."

Lionel on analytics: "I'm trying to still figure out when the Oakland Athletics have won a world championship."

Chris with the buzzer beating save to keep the forum from melting down about Amuseddaysleeper's thread.

[Chris]

It's going to be a tough game imo. Memphis is at home and looking to gain ground, but the trade talks might prove to be a fortunate distraction for the Spurs.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

let's just hope they play less "sloppy" and limit the turnovers...If the turn the ball over like they did against LA they loose by 20 tonight tbh

[Chris]

Chris with the buzzer beating save to keep the forum from melting down about Amuseddaysleeper's thread.

Amuseddaysleeper aint bout dis life smh

[TampaDude]

The Grizz have played FIVE less games than the Spurs? WTF, Stern?

BTW, this will be a loss, sorry.

[thunderup]

Not trying to troll, but you guys are gonna have a tough time with Memphis. Possibly a blowout.

[RD2191]

not trying to troll but i know for a fact the lakers will win tonight

[timtonymanu]

Not trying to troll, but you guys are gonna have a tough time with Memphis. Possibly a blowout.

Probably. If we come out with the same effort we have the last two games.

[txstr1986]

The Grizz have played FIVE less games than the Spurs? WTF, Stern?

BTW, this will be a loss, sorry.

I don't think it matters that our schedule has been front loaded - that just means that we'll have more rest in the second half of the season. Everyone plays 82 games in the end.

On another note, Memphis is a team that I could get behind if it wasn't for the fact that they're in our division and beat us in the playoffs two years ago. I really like their style of play.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Chris with the buzzer beating save to keep the forum from melting down about Amuseddaysleeper's thread.

:lol :lol

[chapnis]

Not confident going into this game but it's certainly winnable

[Brunodf]

Spurs by 1

[Brunodf]

Jeff McDonald ‏@JMcDonald_SAEN (https://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN)
Usual starters for both teams. Parker, Green, Leonard, Duncan, Splitter vs. Conley, Allen, Gay, Randolph, Gasol.

[Manu-20]

This is going to be a tough game to win but if the spurs come out focused and ready I can see them winning this one.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Not trying to troll, but you guys are gonna have a tough time with Memphis. Possibly a blowout.
If the Grizzlies continue to play their usual crappy "leave everyone who can shoot open" 3-point defense and the Spurs shooters get hot, it's going to be a long night for the Grizzlies.

[capek]

While the Spurs have definitely not been playing their best ball over the last week or so, the Grizz have been looking rather mediocre over their last 10 games or so. As long as we cut down on the mental mistakes, I think Spurs have a good chance to take this one.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Game time ladies and gents - GSG! :flag:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Big game today.

Spurs have been playing poorly of late - slack execution, not enough effort or consistency at either end. These are typical signs of the NBA doldrums - that part of the schedule when you've got a good record but it's still a long way to the ASB and things don't seem overly urgent or important. The team has slacked off for a few games, but do that against the Grizz and we'll be ground to dust.

Either this will be a turning point game where the team wakes up again and finds some of the execution and fire we saw before Christmas, or we'll get handed our heads.

We shall see...

[ace3g]

I think Splitter just left SJAX hanging there, lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Here we go!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Not trying to troll, but you guys are gonna have a tough time with Memphis. Possibly a blowout.

Since the Grizz win with D, I doubt it'll be a blowout, but if Spurs don't come to play Grizz will win by 10 or 12.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

nice!

[capek]

GSG!

[TDMVPDPOY]

fck tp, why didnt he jump for theposter dunk

[ace3g]

Green with his step through jumper

[ffadicted]

Memphis announcers in this stream... fuck

[ace3g]

Icy/Hot is hot right now

[Floyd Pacquiao]

smh turnovers

[SpursIndonesia]

TD's sloppy night again ??

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

tim duncan turnover machine :(

[TDMVPDPOY]

timmay with 3 lame plays

[ElNono]

we suck... Tank!!!

[Manu-20]

Stop with the dam to spurs sloppy plays.

[foodie2]

Why does Green keep wincing? Twice now.

[boutons_deux]

Tim sucking, one short shot not even in the cylinder, plus two TOs.

[phxspurfan]

wow.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

OMFG

[Warlord23]

:lol Splitter

[timtonymanu]

smh Tiago

[ace3g]

damn I don't think Splitter even hit rim on that reverse...

[Manu-20]

WTF Tiago Dunk that shit your right there wide open.

[ffadicted]

all bias aside, Grizz defense is such a joy to watch

[Captivus]

DUNK IT TIAGO!!! DAMN!!!!!

[boutons_deux]

Tiago outhustles ZBo for loose ball.

[phxspurfan]

I say let Splitter walk. I'm tired of seeing this sht.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

damn kawhis D on gay was beautiful tbh

[timtonymanu]

damn kawhis D on gay was beautiful tbh

Yeah he gives Rudy fits every time we play them.

[phxspurfan]

Splitter was wide open but Tony didn't trust him and tried to do it all himself

[TDMVPDPOY]

fck tony the hero, pass it kent

[loveforthegame]

Duncan looks terrible. :(

[phxspurfan]

Splitter is gonna get owned in this game. Memphis' bigs (strong and tough) are the exact opposite of what he is.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Yeah he gives Rudy fits every time we play them.

yep

[ace3g]

can Baynes get shipped here express for tonight now with Duncan in foul trouble...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What is wrong with Timmy? :(

[phxspurfan]

Timmy is 36.

[TDMVPDPOY]

take the fkn open shot, stop trying to protect ur shitty FG%

[Brunodf]

Too many turnovers

[Warlord23]

On pace for another 20+ turnover night :tu

[phxspurfan]

At least we're only down 2

[Captivus]

if Diaw is gonna shoot i rather have Bonner

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This is a strange call, but I'd like to give Grizz a shot at defending Z-Bo.

Grizz's quick hands would be good against Z-Bo's multiple fakes, his stregnth would help, and his short stature wouldn't hurt against ground-bound Z-Bo. Worth a try.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Splitter has been playing good D on Randolph and boxing him out well. Too bad his finishes are soft.

[ace3g]

crappy neck tattoo

[RD2191]

what a d bag

[Boomersgold]

Just started wachin' the game. Why is Diaw out there so early?

[foodie2]

TD 2fouls.

[HI-FI]

crappy neck tattoo

Yet a good looking chick next to him. Dbag didn't represent the fanbase well.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

can Baynes get shipped here express for tonight now with Duncan in foul trouble...

I don't think we should expect much from Baynes this year. Rookie bigmen get tagged with fouls at an absurd rate, and he has to learn the system. Great signing for next year and beyond though.

[TDMVPDPOY]

kl SHOULD fkn iso against rudy, rudy not known tobe a defensive stopper...

too bad must watch his talents goto waste with heroes on tthe team

[Captivus]

did you see that Tiago!! dunk!! FT if miss

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bear With A Brain unhappy... :lol

[loveforthegame]

Missed fts. smh

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Penalty with 4:37 to go - we should do nothing but drive from here on.

[timtonymanu]

Great pass from Boris

[Manu-20]

There you go now thats spurs basketball.

[Juggity]

Tiago with the nice layup there. Good feed from Diaw too.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

nice passing and execution so far

[RD2191]

we need some more towel waving from patty

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TP's 3pt shooting this year is fantastic. Doesn't take many, makes nearly 40% of them. Nice.

[Captivus]

Penalty with 4:37 to go - we should do nothing but drive from here on.

Are you talking about the famous "hero ball"!? just kidding

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Just started wachin' the game. Why is Diaw out there so early?

2 fouls on Tim... and Marc Gasol.

[Paranoid Pop]

Beautiful sequence.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

other than reacting a bit too much on fakes, Tiago's defense on Randolph has been pretty good.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Are you talking about the famous "hero ball"!? just kidding

:lol

I can't believe people use that epithet to slander TP when his best asset is his ability to get into the key!

[TheCultOfPersonality]

So far the Grizzlies offense looks like the usual Grizzlies offense.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

nice passing and execution so far

Yeah, looking good except poor Timmy who looked atrocious. I'm sure he'll come back with a huge 10mins some time later in the game though.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

splitter is impressing, damn quick front there.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Superb passing sequence inside there.

[RD2191]

nice tiago

[TDMVPDPOY]

hahahaha parker

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Nice bucket Tiago.

[foodie2]

Neal in. Here goes the lead.

[Johnny RIngo]

Gary Neal in- ugh

[ace3g]

SJAX

[Boomersgold]

Gary Neal's on. Get ready for 5-6 minutes of hero ball and nonexistent teamwork.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Capt Jack!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You used to have to be set before you got the charge call, but that concept disappeared about 5 years ago.

[weebo]

Neal in. Grizzlies score.

[RD2191]

neal in and its a completely dif game

[Juggity]

Gary Neal is a shooting guard

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

oh my god neal was completely lost/unaware on that bayless three.

[024]

neal goes in, grizzlies go on a run

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol neal leaving bayless open

[loveforthegame]

Why Pop? Why?

[boutons_deux]

Gary watching while his man drops 3G to tie it

Tim fucks up again

[Boomersgold]

Neal defense.....:lmao

[weebo]

Neal could be playing center. He still needs to play some kind of D.

[Boomersgold]

We're doing quite well though, tbh.

[Brunodf]

Neal in= instant Memphis run

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Memphis is playing hard.

[Texas_Ranger]

if only Tim wouldnt suck so much. Hope he gets hot

[Richie]

Anyone else feel out fastbreaks are really poor? Even Parker is turning it over half the time now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Timmy looks like the worst player on the court. Puzzling.

Good start to the game though - both teams have come to play. Hold onto your hats, this will be a barn-burner! ;)

[Warlord23]

Tim 0 pts, 0 rebs, 0 ast, 0 blk, 0 stl, 2 TOs in 6 minutes

[timtonymanu]

Well the energy is there at least.

Duncan looks really bad right now. I don't want to panic, but I'm getting worried, tbh.

[Sildegil]

hahahaha parker

Tevez still sux.

[RD2191]

GET NEAL OUT OF THERE, FUCK MAN, AUTOMATIC RUN WHEN THAT SCRUB GOES IN, PACE OF THE GAME CHANGED IN AN INSTANT. WTF IS POP THINKING

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Come on Tim get your head together.

[Juggity]

What is going on with Tim?

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Tim is out of sorts.

[RD2191]

DEAR LORD TIM

[timtonymanu]

Duncan :(

[Johnny RIngo]

horrible night for TD thus far

[SpursIndonesia]

TD is playing like a scrub. :(

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Now he's getting rejected.

[SpursIndonesia]

owned by fat Gasol. :(

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Gary!!

[TDMVPDPOY]

all we are doing now is trading baskets every since gary has been in...fkn hell this clown is shit

[Paranoid Pop]

Tim should just rest...

[carina_gino20]

TD looks really slow... :(

[RD2191]

NEAL=DEATH

[foodie2]

Bonner/Neal. FML

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Damn it Manu.

[bklynspursfan]

Tim has looked really bad lately. Next week we get 2 days off in a row. In sure he'll wake up after that

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

tiago needs more minutes. he's been playing well so far.

[timtonymanu]

Hate to say it but the momentum got fucked up when Duncan came back in, not because of Neal.

[Brunodf]

Pop is trolling

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol bonner and neal on the court same time is asking for trouble

[boutons_deux]

dammit Manu


7 TOs already. heading for 20

[Boomersgold]

I thought Gary Neal's role is to score?

[Manu-20]

Dam I can't wait for Bayne to get here at least he might have a chance to beat out bonner for the 4th big spot.

[Johnny RIngo]

Duncan Neal - worst players of the game so far

[Paranoid Pop]

tiago needs more minutes. he's been playing well so far.

Not really, just got spoonfed by Boris a few times.

[Uriel]

Every time I hear these Grizzlies commentators and hear this Memphis crowd, I can't help but hark back to memories of 2011. :depressed

[Juggity]

It's worrying that Tim has looked bad tonight, but even more worrying that he was bad against the Lakers. With the Grizzlies, it makes sense that he might struggle. Against the Lakers, missing all bigs who aren't D-League scrubs and still sucking, I'm not sure what to think.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Maybe Tim should sit until the 2nd half. Team was playing well without him.

And yeah, Pop, NEAL IS NOT A PG.

[Paranoid Pop]

The PG less second unit shits the bed again, really surprising...

[Spurs Brazil]

damn, turnovers

[024]

the fuck neal

[bklynspursfan]

God Neal!!

[Johnny RIngo]

Gary Neal is fucking horrible

[Dex]

Getting tired of your shit, Neal.

[Warlord23]

Gary Neal, playmaker

[TDMVPDPOY]

hahahah gary fkn neal is nothing more than a scrub

[Warlord23]

8 ast, 8 TOs for the Spurs

[Boomersgold]

Who was supposed to be on Allen?

[weebo]

Spurs are getting beat with energy.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Please sit Neal! You have enough 3pt shooters on the court.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Please sit Neal! You have enough 3pt shooters on the court.

Oh, he did! Thanks, Pop. :lmao

[foodie2]

Fucking Bonner.

[Boomersgold]

Ginobili!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Manu is starting to ball.

[TDMVPDPOY]

bonner wide open 2 times, doesnt shoot, fkn pathetic

[loveforthegame]

Damn turnovers.

[RD2191]

FUCK

[Southwest Texas Fan]

9 turnovers!!!!!! Shit.

[Manu-20]

WTF pop put Tiago back in there now.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

This is going to be a close game.

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs need to resolve their backup PG situation - possibly through a trade

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Don't sit Manu just when he's heating up! :pctoss

[Russ]

Bayless is a prick (and not Skip).

[Brunodf]

IS Splitter injured or something?

[Southwest Texas Fan]

That was a good foul.

[Juggity]

Nice hard foul by Bonner. Get chippy.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

bonner the enforcer!

[Boomersgold]

Spurs need to resolve their backup PG situation - possibly through a trade

We've got 3...

[Captivus]

stop giving the ball to duncan, i mean the other guys are also NBA players. We dont have the advantage at the center position.
Wait for the advantage, dont give it to TD and hope he can beat Gasol in that paint.

[RD2191]

gasol and duncan both looking like garbage

[weebo]

Udoka telling Bonner to stop being such a pussy :lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

tp with the usual lame pass after a penetration...glad no one is bailing this clown out

[boutons_deux]

Spurs looking like shit with these TOs,and overpassing, passed up open shots.

gonna give the game away.

looks like "playing fast" the Spurs really can't do.

[GB20]

pop's rotations have been bad lately

[Juggity]

We've got 3...

3 undersized shooting guards (except for nando)

[024]

im surprised the game is tied. spurs have no offense except trying to create 3 point shots.

[Sildegil]

tp with the usual lame pass after a penetration...glad no one is bailing this clown out

And Manchester city still sux.

[timtonymanu]

We've got 3...

None of which have shown they are ready to be TP's backup though.

[Manu-20]

Honestley what does pop think when he plays Neal at the PG, just tell everyone to get the damn ball to manu every time and make him the main pg with the second unit, if anything if teams do full court pressure Manu can just pass out to the open man and they can just get him the ball back once there set with there plays.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Pop try Decolo next time.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

wow great board by splitter.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

stop giving the ball to duncan, i mean the other guys are also NBA players. We dont have the advantage at the center position.
Wait for the advantage, dont give it to TD and hope he can beat Gasol in that paint.

Exactly. Gasol is one of the best 1-on-1 defenders in the league. Timmy should be taking open Js from the top or moving around a lot, he won't consistently beat Marc in the post at this stage in his career.

[foodie2]

Have we had a good backup PG since Speedy? I don't think so.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

We needed that rebound.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Memphis D is awesome.

[timtonymanu]

Have we had a good backup PG since Speedy? I don't think so.

Ford looked promising until he got hurt.

[ace3g]

this seems like a Patty type game, everyone slow

[spurraider21]

Ford looked promising until he got hurt.

[quentin_compson]

Defense? Not so much.

[Juggity]

Kawhiiii

[Boomersgold]

None of which have shown they are ready to be TP's backup though.

De Colo and Mills surely can't play as bad as Neal at the backup pg.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Kawhi!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

this seems like a Patty type game, everyone slow

:tu

[RD2191]

UNLEASH PATTY MILLS

[Boomersgold]

Patty Mills!

[loveforthegame]

this seems like a Patty type game, everyone slow

[timtonymanu]

De Colo and Mills surely can't play as bad as Neal at the backup pg.

Yeah, but I can't trust De Colo or Patty to be TP's backup right now.

[Juggity]

Tim is limping a little bit

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim needs to go sit in the locker room, get his head in the game, and come out strong in the second half.

Someone at the hotel must have made his wake-up call 3 hours early or something - he's definitely out of sorts in a big way.

[Brazil]

Yeah, but I can't trust De Colo or Patty to be TP's backup right now.
Better than NealNeal

[Southwest Texas Fan]

This is an uphill battle.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Another turnover! Uhgg.

[timtonymanu]

Man Tim just looks slow.

[GB20]

Tim is limping a little bit
timmy has been limping for the last four years

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

duncan seems to be overaggressive right now.

[Brazil]

Tim needs to go to the bench

[EVAY]

Yeah, but I can't trust De Colo or Patty to be TP's backup right now.

The deal is that Mills is a shooting guard like Neal. He can't handle the ball any better than Neal. DeColo looks like he can be a great passer and potential pg, BUT, ilke Diaw, he rarely shoots. When Pop puts guards out there he wants them shooting. I think that is his problem with DeColo.

[spurraider21]

remember kawhi's first game when gay got that steal and dunk off him? he's come a long way

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I think Timmy had a fight with Amy or something. His body language says he just doesn't want to be playing ball right now.

[ace3g]

Tiago!!!

[Juggity]

lol tiago with the lucky break

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Splitter!

[SpursIndonesia]

Conley starts hitting BS shots = Spurs are fucked

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

good defense by kawhi!

[spurraider21]

oh come on how is that a foul on diaw

[Boomersgold]

The deal is that Mills is a shooting guard like Neal. He can't handle the ball any better than Neal. DeColo looks like he can be a great passer and potential pg, BUT, ilke Diaw, he rarely shoots. When Pop puts guards out there he wants them shooting. I think that is his problem with DeColo.

Mills can't handle the ball as well as Neal, but he has speed, which makes it easier for him to bring it up the court. He's also a more willing passer and will give an a shot if he sees someone else wide open.

[longhorn]

What in the balls is wrong with Tim lately?

[Southwest Texas Fan]

That wasn't a foul.

[timtonymanu]

The deal is that Mills is a shooting guard like Neal. He can't handle the ball any better than Neal. DeColo looks like he can be a great passer and potential pg, BUT, ilke Diaw, he rarely shoots. When Pop puts guards out there he wants them shooting. I think that is his problem with DeColo.

Exactly. People are calling for them over Neal, which is reasonable, but it's not like these two will really make any difference.

[Brazil]

4 tos for Duncan. Uh

[timtonymanu]

Wow. Some ugly plays to end this quarter.

[spurraider21]

dumb foul

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

only 11 turnovers guys!

[Manu-20]

Stupid foul splitter.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs suck.

[boutons_deux]

Tony looks tired already

[pjjrfan]

Man can't anyone on this team take care of the ball

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The deal is that Mills is a shooting guard like Neal. He can't handle the ball any better than Neal. DeColo looks like he can be a great passer and potential pg, BUT, ilke Diaw, he rarely shoots. When Pop puts guards out there he wants them shooting. I think that is his problem with DeColo.

We need to take Mills and De Colo to some German geneticists and fuse them into 1 person. Then do the same with Grizz and Bonner. :lol

Fuck we're bad at finishing the half lately. :pctoss

[Juggity]

Can't remember the last time the spurs played a good game.

[foodie2]

Can we please have a few more turnovers before the half? We don't have quite enough yet.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Spurs are playing and executing like shit.

[ace3g]

crap, Splitter was looking at something, Sevening was there looking to...

[Captivus]

Kmon Diaw! Not again!

[spurraider21]

:pctoss

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you, do not be hurt Tiago.

[EVAY]

That was no damn foul, just like Pop knew.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Now a foul on Parker.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Once agina sloppy execution leading to TOs and giving the momentum ot the opposition. When will we stop dong this???

[Southwest Texas Fan]

WTF

[boutons_deux]

gonna lose again to a top4 team
