[hater]

it's gonna be a fun game.

50/50 chance to either team imo

You got it! I cracked up with Z-Bo!

[ddjeffries]

I have a feeling that we are going to break them down just as easy, but well be cold.

hope that's not true.

Tony Allen looks like he has the mumps.

[Mugen]

My keys to Game 2:

Spurs
-Pace, Pace, Pace. Keep pushing tempo and run whenever the opportunity arises.
-Attack the rim. Whether it be Parker/Manu/TD/Splitter, the Spurs would be best served to keep attacking the rim. Grizzlies will make an emphasis to stay home on shooters. Only the way to free up shooters is a concerted effort to penetrate.
-Early work on Z-Bo. Repeat the same effort/strategies that made life tough for Zach in Game 1 and most of the RS.
-Run Pondexter off the 3

Grizzlies
-Establish Z-Bo early. Deeper touches, down screens, PnRs, extra spacing, basically whatever gets Randolph going.
-Allen on Parker. Probably from the outset in hopes of making Parker work harder and cause some TOs.
-Increase their physicality. I thought the Grizz were uncharacteristically soft for the most part in Game 1. I expect some hard fouls at the rim and more holding/hand checks that they usually get away with due to their reputation.

[Strategic]

It's the Spurs' to win. Hopefully good guys can hit the perimeter shots.

[hooperflash]

:lmao @ that kid tryharding with the arm sleeve! Go Spurs Go!!

[RD2191]

I got the cavs winning the lottery. Kyrie and Nerlens ballng together.

[Kidd K]

My only key to this game tbh: Don't shoot 30 threes again. We won't hit 50% I hope we won't settle for the three that much. I think maybe 18-20 attempts will be fine, but I don't wanna see any of that bullshit where Manu dribbles into a guy then jacks up a three that goes in maybe 10% of the time.

I hope the refs don't fall for Marc Gasol's 1st quarter flops tonight. To their credit, they didn't in game 1. I hope the refs continue to call the game properly.

[Raven]

he probably shoots better too at this point.

[DatBoyGood]

Zach is going to attack us early and that whole Grizz team is going to be hungry for a win tonight, hopefully spurs are ready.

[Kidd K]

Spurs win by 8 imo.

I'm thinking somewhere around 97-89

[Whisky Dog]

And I hope they get their deserved technical fouls and ejections when they do. Please shove us Grizzlies, then go back to the locker room.

Key to the game is defense. Defensive intensity of the last 5 games mixed with rebounding well.

On offense it's to move the ball around with sound execution and take the open in rhythm shot. If the Grizzlies want to help hard on ball rotation and drives again and leave 40%+ 3 pt shooters WIDE open then you take the shots. If they stay home on shooters you work the ball inside and get layups against their no shot blocking front line. Key is precision and execution while keeping the ball moving all night. Very few ISOs and watching one guy just dribble.

[Mugen]

:lol Kings are getting the #1 pick tbh.

[Mugen]

Tony Allen looks like a Black Rodney Dangerfield in that pic. Picture him saying, "I tell you, I don't get no respect."
Randolph looks like a little kid who just had an accident in his pants.
And the other three look like a NatGeo special.

[eyeh8u]

try the watch espn app on android and iphone, it works with certain cable tv providers though.

[Budkin]

They are going to go into ZBo the first several possessions most likely.

I'm assuming the Grizzlies will close out much harder, so the Spurs need to not keep jacking threes since they won't be as open. In other words, not just chuck them up expecting them to be as open as game 1.

The rest imo they just need to repeat what they did in game 1. I still don't think the Grizzlies have the offense to keep up with the Spurs. The Spurs' D is underrated while Memphis' offense is statistically below average. Unless they have a miracle game or the Spurs are absolutely ICE COLD. . .then Spurs will take this shit imo.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I have a feeling we have a nail-biter coming up... hope I'm wrong and we steamroll them like game 1 though!

:flag:

Go Spurs.

[Robz4000]

Already said it, but Spurs by 7.

foul on Z-Bo

[Bill_Brasky]

Yeah that better fuckin be on Randolph.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Green, good cut

[Raven]

good start

[Spurs Brazil]

Green great pass to Kawhi

Green has been improving. Those cuts he's been making, damn good. :tu

did we lose the automatic update on the thread?

[100%duncan]

Yes Go Spurs Go! :flag:

[DAF86]

Splitter has to dunk that shit.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The Spurs play sweet, fundamental, ball-moving basketball that is gorgeous to watch yet we're roundly hated by NBA fans.

Fuck NBA "fans" who hate great basketball. :ihit

[100%duncan]

TD still cold tho. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck refs

[100%duncan]

Splitter gets no respect from the refs tbh.

[ShoogarBear]

That might have been a top ten missed foul call.

[100%duncan]

TD gets the call. :tu

[Strategic]

"slappy" gasol.

[RD2191]

Wtf refs

[Juggity]

That was about as clear a foul as I've seen. How could that be missed?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

lol ridiculous hack on Splitter for no call. He NEVER gets calls. :pctoss

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan needs to continue making quick moves like the last play..

He can't post-up effectively against Gasol right now, he needs to play face-up and make quick decisions..

[KaiRMD1]

I don't think TD needs anymore rest, tbh. The guy is f'n frozen

[davemaniscool]

I'm sick of hearing about Gasol's defense. I'd like to see Tim take him to the wood shed

[100%duncan]

Give Gasol that post up. Don't let him get that mid-longrange J.


Parker cold early on.

[RD2191]

Gtfo duncan

[Juggity]

Tim needs to stop taking shots. Just facilitate.

[Raven]

whatever timmy just stop with that

[BatManu20]

Timmy and Tony playing like shit so far.

[313]

Timmy struggling early

[ace3g]

http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net/photos/large/773100657.jpg?1369185515

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

In the off-season I'd love to see Danny add a low post move or two so he can punish PGs when other teams switch their best wing defender onto TP.

[Spurs Brazil]

2nd on Conley

[100%duncan]

The entry passes have been flashy but solid tbh. :tu

[Kidd K]

Spurs are taking some terrible shots tonight. They need to change their offensive gameplan a bit.

[100%duncan]

TP finally

[Crookshanks]

I don't understand why that wasn't an And 1 for Leonard.

[Kidd K]

Parker's jumper just now may have been the Spurs' cleanest look tonight besides Splitter's layup earlier that he should have dunked.

[Spurs Brazil]

Boris, good D and good shot

[100%duncan]

French Connection :smokin

[Spurs Brazil]

damn flop. terrible refs

[BatManu20]

That was a travel. These refs are awful.

[Kidd K]

I don't understand why that wasn't an And 1 for Leonard.

He shoved Leonard in the back before he caught the pass because he knew he was going to get scored on. It only would've been an AND1 if he shoved him after he caught the pass. It was a legit call, just a cheap way to stop the deep post possession by Conley there.

[Capt Bringdown]

Splitter's sub-par playoffs continues.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

good fronting by diaw awesome

[HarlemHeat37]

Marc Gasol is quickly becoming the most egregious flopping big in the NBA, tbh..he may have surpassed his brother..

[freetiago]

not often Splitter isnt the softest Euro on the court
for such a good defensive player Gasol flops so much offensively when making moves or trying to get post position

and Splitter has to be the least respected player ive ever seen
gets 0 respect

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm officially worried about Timmy on O now - he's been out of sync since the Fakers series after a pretty damned fine offensive regular season for a guy his age. WTF happened to him???

Very slow tempo game so far, which is what the Grizz want. We have to run on them at every opportunity.

[Nathan89]

Stop going to Tim. Tim should just take the shots the defense gives him when Marc is on him. Size like Marc/Bynum kills Tim.

[100%duncan]

What's more worrying is I think it's pretty mental. He's had so much rest and still is cold on the offense.

I'm concerned too, but it's in his head. He's playing stupid basketball on the offensive end when they clear for him. He needs to take Gasol off the dribble

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Doris with the usual motherhood statements... :rolleyes

[100%duncan]

TP!

[100%duncan]

Kawhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii :smokin

[Spurs Brazil]

Kawhi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kidd K]

Kawhi Leonard with the classic Michael Jordan one handed pumpfake layup! Nice!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I love it when Tony get mad! :D

[Raven]

it's amazing that we're getting memphis in transition..

[TDfan2007]

Pace has been wonderful, and the D even better. I'm loving the energy.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:tu

[Fireball]

Gasol is pretty pissed because nothing is working for the Grizzlies

[TDfan2007]

We should consider dumping the ball to Timmy for a bit once Gasol sits just to get his confidence up.

[Strategic]

Timmy isn't going to win this thing with his offense. His defensive presence is most important. The rest of the team has to carry the offensive load. Just so he is making too many turnovers or bone headed passes.

[SpursIndonesia]

fellas, i can only follow the game through yahoo gamechannel, so any info regarding the flow & plays of the game is truly appreciated. :)

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What's more worrying is I think it's pretty mental. He's had so much rest and still is cold on the offense.


I'm concerned too, but it's in his head. He's playing stupid basketball on the offensive end when they clear for him. He needs to take Gasol off the dribble

Yeah, it must be mental, which is odd for a confident guy with nothing to prove. I hope he finds his range soon because that will open up the driving game... all he needs to do is knock down 2 jumpers and he'll start rolling.

[kidd_91]

Is it just me or is the crowd sound muted.

[100%duncan]

:lol Kawhi that was awful

[Juggity]

Yeah, Tim is not looking particularly confident out there unfortunately.

[GSH]

What's more worrying is I think it's pretty mental. He's had so much rest and still is cold on the offense.

I wish it was mental. It's time catching up.

[Kidd K]

I'm sorry, but I don't want Kawhi handling the ball for 10 seconds then jacking up a fadeaway.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hollins to TP: "I love the way you go to the basket and earn fouls... Mike's learning from you... it's you!"

:lol

[Kidd K]

Grizzlies are playing perfect D right now.

[BatManu20]

Wth are we doing on offense

[100%duncan]

Spurs playing hero-ball now. Move the freakin ball tbh.

[Raven]

memphis looks so pathetic on offense... :lol trading rudy gay in a salary dump

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Diaw/Splitter defended Z-Bo really well during the regular season, doing the same agin in this series as predicted. :tu

[Kidd K]

Spurs badly need to change their offensive gameplan. It isn't working. Matter of time befor Memphis comes back with this shitty Spurs' offense.

[BatManu20]

Get Tony back in there. Our offense looks lost without him.

[100%duncan]

Splitter needs to dunk tbh.

[TDfan2007]

:lol this shooting.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow, both teams laying eggs and shooting bricks. Ugly. :wow

[BatManu20]

These past 3 minutes have been the worst offensive 3 minutes I've seen us play in a looong time. Tony back in though.

[timtonymanu]

Totally playing into Memphis' hands right now.

[100%duncan]

Our second unit sucks today. :lol

[Juggity]

Terrible offensive quarter for both teams

[Kidd K]

Spurs need to start charging the paint and hoping for FTAs ala Thunder at this point.

[ace3g]

Diaw's shoes

[Spurs Brazil]

Those last 4 minutes were ugly

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs playing hero-ball now. Move the freakin ball tbh.

Indeed.

[Raven]

really bad shooting

[timtonymanu]

Ugh. This is the Memphis defense that we should expect.

The Spurs need to find a way to counter their defense. Bad quarter offensively.

[BatManu20]

Holy shit that was terrible :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Move the freakin ball! :pctoss

[Raven]

Spurs need to start charging the paint and hoping for FTAs ala Thunder at this point.

that's exactly what they want, we need to get some open looks from away so that memphis can't lock the paint

[TDfan2007]

Well the offense can't get much worse than this, but our D is keeping us in the game. Gasol is living up to his DPOY status, tbh.

[Darius McCrary]

Memphis lucky spurs missing every jump shot

They're defense is great, making us take jumpers outta comfort zone

[Kidd K]

tbh I can't believe Pop never called a timeout to fix their shitty offense. Bad time to start coaching like Phil Jackson.

[bklynspursfan]

Spurs aren't running any of the stuff they did in the first quarter in Game 1... And I actually think it's by design. I'd look for them to start looking for the 3 point shot more in this quarter.

[davidbowie]

Guys Are we ever gonna score again?

[Kidd K]

that's exactly what they want, we need to get some open looks from away so that memphis can't lock the paint

I think the Grizzlies want the Spurs to just keep doing exactly what they're doing, because it's clearly not working.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Totally playing into Memphis' hands right now.

Yup.


Spurs need to start charging the paint and hoping for FTAs ala Thunder at this point.

Yes, and moving the damn ball. You cannot beat a team defense like this with heroball.

[TDfan2007]

Too much hesitation by our guys when they get the ball. Our only halfway decent shots so far have been from Diaw.

[ballhog]

Terrible offense. Lots of hacking out there.

[Nathan89]

Refs didn't want to call that offensive foul on Marc's off arm I guess...

Tim needs the ball where he can shoot a bank shot or take Marc off the dribble. Postups will not be successful.

[Pauleta14]

Pop fucked up the momentum when he put Tony out. There was still 4.30 something to play!

[BillMc]

One round of adjustments, now we need another set for the second quarter. Only good thing is Memphis doesn't really have the O to pull away either.

[pgardn]

Ugh. This is the Memphis defense that we should expect.

The Spurs need to find a way to counter their defense. Bad quarter offensively.
We are getting shots, missing, and then getting frustrated.
The shooting the 1st quarter was terrible, by both teams.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

memphis playing D way better today

[Two10Whitey]

This is scary. Lets start the second strong. Kawhi needs to loosen up on offense.

[TE]

Score..

[TDfan2007]

8-0 run by Memphis...

[ballhog]

Get Splitter out there!

[HI-FI]

smh, never like seeing Neal and Parker in at the same time.

[TDfan2007]

11-0

[timtonymanu]

Really starting not to like Tiago

[Kidd K]

Pondexter should have got a T there tbh

[Strategic]

techinal foul on that boy

[Spurs Brazil]

Finally Tiago

[100%duncan]

Splitter gets no fucking calls tbh. Freaking refs.

[TDfan2007]

Strong finish by Tiago there.

[Kidd K]

Man, refs aren't calling Grizzlies for any of their fouls under the basket

[100%duncan]

Red Rocket!

Let's be honest, who's happy Bonner's in the game right now?

[Juggity]

Bonner delivers again

[ballhog]

Bonner! Finally

[TDfan2007]

Refs letting them play tonight.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

C'mon Splitter, gotta be agressive when you catch the ball 8ft out!

[tmtcsc]

Splitter needs to STFU and play. Stop bitching at the refs, it won't change anything.

[100%duncan]

Nice damn cut by Manu. :tu

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu dunk

[Kidd K]

Ginobili! Matt Bonner spreading dat floor!

[Strategic]

Nice play

[HI-FI]

old man Argentinia

nice

[TDfan2007]

Manu!

[100%duncan]

Holy shit Neal is really stupid on Defense.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If Cruise Missile keeps it up, he may just redeem his past failures...

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago again!

[TDfan2007]

:lol Tiago is allergic to dunking.

[BatManu20]

Their role players are hitting their shots today unfortunately.

[HarlemHeat37]

Neal sagging off way too much against Bayless..

[tmtcsc]

I like the easy buckets. Points will be hard to come by tonight.

[Crookshanks]

Wow - that was a defensive lapse by Memphis

[timtonymanu]

Much better by Tiago.

[100%duncan]

Refs have been awful. Joe Crawford would have been better tbh.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We run the offense and good things happen, what a surprise... :rolleyes

[Kidd K]

Once again refs still don't call the Grizzlies for their fouls under the basket. Fuckin bullshit.

[Strategic]

Like the pace little better.

[HI-FI]

damn Randolph looks like he's going to rape a bitch.

[ballhog]

Jeez. Refs swallowing whistles tonight

[Raven]

good job by tiago

[Spurs Brazil]

great D Tiago

[GSH]

Pop called that timeout just to bitch at the refs.

[crc21209]

Crybaby Randolph looks at the refs everytime he misses a shot...:lol

[TDfan2007]

Amazing what happens when Gasol is off the court.

[HarlemHeat37]

If you're going to double Randolph, don't do it with Neal, just foolish, tbh..

You shouldn't risk leaving Bayless, and Neal has no idea how to play any type of defense, tbh..

[DPG21920]

What a difference a day makes. Memphis is playing some spectacular defense. So is San Antonio. Fun to watch. Marc Gasol is having a beast of a defensive game so far. Showing that he was a legit candidate for DPOY.

Shooting is off, but the defense by both teams has been damn solid.

[hater]

:lmao Latarian Milton getting bullied by vagina Splitter and Matt fucking Bonner :lmao

[BatManu20]

It's always weird to me seeing a Center lay it in everytime. Like they're against dunking or something lol.

[Kidd K]

Neal sagging off way too much against Bayless..

Neal is a bottom 3 worst defensive Spur in the Tim Duncan era imo. Only Chris Quinn was consistently worse than Neal imo. Even RJ wasn't as bad as Neal.

[Nathan89]

Maybe we should let Zbo prove he can take Splitter before we leave shooter wide open to help. Just a thought.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Real Tiago Splitter is back in da house. :tu

Splitter and Diaw doing a superb job on Zach.

[freetiago]

Neal and Parker doubling off of their only shooters for absoultely no reason today
Parker looking really slow defensively as well
also in hero mode on offense
had wide open Bonner in the spot he just hits a 3 on a 3v2 and he goes in for the contested garbage

need to pick and roll Randolph every play while Gasol is still out and get lay ups or 3s
theyre not respecting Splitter as a scorer and neither are the refs right now

[Keepin' it real]

Tiago taking a bathroom break lol

[100%duncan]

Amazing what happens when we move the ball.

fify

Yup. IMO, Bayless is arguably a top 3 player on MEM you have to shut down. He's one of the few Grizz that can shoot from deep and put up points in a hurry. You do not leave him under any circumstances at the moment.

[spurspokesman]

Spurs look terrible despite the lead

[Darius McCrary]

Memphis looks average defense with zbo anchoring. Zbo actually looks like the weak link

[Kidd K]

Pop called that timeout just to bitch at the refs.

Yeah I think so too. . .refs have only called the Grizzlies for only like one or two of their 10 fouls under the basket tonight. They're blind as fuckin bats.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Neal is a bottom 3 worst defensive Spur in the Tim Duncan era imo. Only Chris Quinn was consistently worse than Neal imo. Even RJ wasn't as bad as Neal.

I'd put Nasty Nick at the very bottom. He was a bead curtain on defence! :lmao

[crc21209]

Neal has no business leaving Bayless to go and "show" a double team against Randolph. I say show because it's not even a real double team, it's a weak ass attempt at a double team...

[anonoftheinternets]

Maybe we should let Zbo prove he can take Splitter before we leave shooter wide open to help. Just a thought.
Whats the point, if we find out he can, Zbo will be on.. its best to make sure he is not comfortable from the get go.

[DAF86]

How I wish Splitter would dunk the fucking ball. It's not that hard to do, just have him alone with the basket a make him dunk it 100 times in a row 'till it sticks to his organism. One day he will miss one these pussy open lay-ups and I will blow a vein.

[Kidd K]

:lmao a bead curtain. Classic

[spurspokesman]

We got dooling giving us the business lol
