Game 12: Spurs @ Grizz: Fri. Nov 22, 2013 7:00 PM

[Robz4000]

Game's on ESPN and FSSW.

Haven't started a game thread this season so I'm gonna try my luck. Toughest test of the season for the Spurs thus far with the Grizz finally playing respectable basketball. However, this'll be the game where Tim starts climbing out of his offensive slump and everyone can step away from the ledge.

Spurs 93
Grizz 85

[Fireball]

As you said, toughest game yet. After a slow start Memphis is coming together. Despite this being an away game Spurs chances are pretty good, as they are well rested and just have figured the Grizzlies out. Z-Bo needs to be shut down by Tim and Tiago and everythings going to be fine. But watch out for Tony Allen making another stupid thing ...

[justinandimcool]

Finally, a non scrub opponent on the road. First real Spurs game of the year.

Edit: Woops, Portland. Second real Spurs game of the year :lol

[jkid12456]

golden state is pretty good.

[jkid12456]

we hardly won against them at home, without curry...

[Raven]

another cupcake game, grizz are bad.

[313]

Hopefully Allen doesn't take another cheap shot

[moisaenz]

GO Espuelas GO!!

[Baam]

Could get very ugly with Tim current level.

[Mikeanaro]

Somebody must smack that Allen bitch, I would love to see Baynes doing that

[ElNono]

Heard ZBo has been playing great lately. Expecting Pop to throw the Red Rocket at him, tbh

[mclinejr]

I know I said something similar to this in another thread, but I think Memphis is going to come out strong tonight. We'll probably win, but it will be ugly.

Tim gets back on track with 25 pts tonight.

Spurs 90
Grizzlies 87

[GritandGrind]

Grizz fan.

Double down low and let Tony Allen and Prince build a house with all the bricks they shot.The Griz will play defense and Rebound but it should be a easy win for the spurs.

[Mugen]

Memphis has been playing much better lately, particularly Z-Bo. Predicting a loss here but should be a good contest tbh.

As a Spurs fan, tell whoever is guarded by Tim to go at him in the post, he will probably start on Marc who is a decent matchup for him because his go to move is the jumper but if that's the case Marc has to go in the post and it could get extremely ugly the way Tim has made the Sullingers and Plumlees of the world look lately...

[TheyCallMePro]

For some reason everyone thinks the Grizzlies are going to win this game.

I don't. The Spurs are much better offensively. The Spurs are an offensive juggernaut and the Grizzlies...have trouble just scoring period.

Oh, and not to mention the Grizzlies are coming off a long road trip, while this is just the 2nd game for the Spurs in 7 days.

We got this. Easily. Spurs 106-89.

[Blue Duck]

The grizzlies have been playing well lately. They're going to play extremely hard tonight, and the fans will be rabid. Hope the spurs can pull out this win and keep rolling and Tim gets going. GO SPURS!!!!!

[moisaenz]

Spurs have the red mamba,nothing to worry about.

People watching the pregame broadcast? What utter shit. bleh

Expecting Jerryd Bayless to go off on us per par. I hope to see P-Millz hit some shots tonight though

Splitter is Duncan's 2nd coming lmao

[313]

Splitter!

[TXstbobcat]

[Trainwreck2100]

IIRC Allen hit his 3 quota for the season the first game

[PlayNando]

Danny is lost on both ends of the floor tbh.

[GB20]

timmy needs to step up in this game

[PlayNando]

timmy needs to step up in this game
He already missed a point blank layup. Reminded me of 7 tbh.

[Holden_Caulfield]

fuck you espn and your flashbacks :cry

[Joyrider]

ESPN. Go fuck yourself.

[PlayNando]

Fk u ESPN for bringing up 6 .

[Trainwreck2100]

[BatManu20]

Timmy cheesing easy lay ups, Splitter hitting bank shots.. what the hell is going on??

[Spurs Brazil]

[RD2191]

Miller in finals form

[Holden_Caulfield]

timmy still coasting :lol

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy finally got one

[Trainwreck2100]

Damn duncan almost missed that one

[BanditHiro]

tim almost missed that

[Holden_Caulfield]

timmy made a layup fuck yeah!!!

[DPG21920]

If I am other teams, I force Tim to beat me. I sag off and give him a steady diet of those jumpers. It's going to be an issue. The fact he's not going up to dunk those layups is telling.

[BatManu20]

They're gonna show game six five years from now

They're going to be showing it 20 years from now. It's the biggest shot in Finals history.

[GB20]

timmy almost missed his last layup

[DatBoyGood]

Really strange to see Tim playing like this, and for this long.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[TXstbobcat]

Manu!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres

[Admidave50]

Manu playing great so far !

[PlayNando]

Did TheGreatYacht punch Tim, tbh?

[Raven]

when random guys say you cannot guard prince, you know it's time to give up on basketball.

[Staplepuffs27]

Did the monsters from Space Jam steal Tim's skills?

[Hoops Czar]

I wonder who's suppose to be guarding Prince...

[GB20]

pop needs to play baynes in this game

[RD2191]

Tim needs badger milk.

[$pursDynasty]

Did TheGreatYacht punch Tim, tbh?
I thought it was you because Pop is refusing to Play Nando :lol

[kekovski]

Should we start worrying about Timmy?

[$pursDynasty]

I wonder who's suppose to be guarding Prince...
Belli because he plays defense so much better than Neal :rollin

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

The hell Manu?

[Trainwreck2100]

oh shit Aires is in the game

[GB20]

:lmao

[Hoops Czar]

Belli because he plays defense so much better than Neal :rollin

Shhh, don't say that too loud.

[Raven]

getting burned by miller :lmao

[RD2191]

My nigga mills

[DatBoyGood]

Manu looks physically good tonight

[$pursDynasty]

Peppermint Patty drawin the foul

[BanditHiro]

our FT shooting has been horrible this year

[Spurs Brazil]

good 1st quarter

[$pursDynasty]

our FT shooting has been horrible this year
especially TP, I don't know what happened

[moisaenz]

especially TP, I don't know what happened
game 6 of the finals happened

[Hoops Czar]

Brooklyn getting clowned again.

[GB20]

i hope last year final did not kill tim's confidence

[$pursDynasty]

game 6 of the finals happened
nah that happens to mentally weak teams and players, our Spurs are strong. I am just hoping TP isn't running on fumes after all that Euro stuff this offseason.

[moisaenz]

doesnt mean they cant be psyched about it.

[RD2191]

Late whistle

[ElNono]

:cry beautiful airball by Manu :cry

[Hoops Czar]

i hope last year final did not kill tim's confidence

He started off like this in 2010. Back then, he had an excuse of no training camp, but finished the season strong.

[Spurs Brazil]

good pass Manu

[TXstbobcat]

Manu nice pass!

[r0drig0lac]

dat pass by manu

[Spurs Brazil]

Ayres!!!

[DatBoyGood]

Bench mob!

[BatManu20]

Throw yo hands in the Ayers lol

[Raven]

:lol memphis rim protection

[r0drig0lac]

this is real life?

[DPG21920]

Man, hope Gasol is ok. One of my favorite players in the league.

[ElNono]

Appears Gasol blew a knee

[Captivus]

Mills giving 100% in each possession.

[moisaenz]

ayres caused gasols injury

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Hopefully that isn't too serious

[GB20]

if gasol get hurt, menphis is fucked

[benefactor]

Ayres looking much better.

[BatManu20]

If Ayers could just knock down that little 5-7 foot jump hook like that that'd be huge tbh

[RD2191]

Ayres doing us a solid

[DatBoyGood]

If Gasol is out, Tim and Tiago better dominate.

[TXstbobcat]

I wonder how bad gasol fucked up his knee

[PlayNando]

Obesity kills.

[GB20]

i hope he is alright

[ElNono]

Only 3 assists for Manu? Feels like more...

[Robz4000]

Fuck, like both Gasol brothers. Hope it isn't serious.

[Staplepuffs27]

It's really sad when Jeff Ayers looks better that Tim Duncan :depressed

[Libri]

Ayres takes out Gasol

[ElNono]

TD is coasting to avoid the All Star Game, IMO

[GB20]

he will be alright

[Captivus]

Michael Carter Williams coming back big:

11/9/7 with 2 min remaining in the 3rd.

[Spurs Brazil]

OMG!!!!!!

Manu to Marco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GB20]

[DatBoyGood]

WOW

[ElNono]

:wow

[TXstbobcat]

Nice pass Manu!!!

[BatManu20]

MANUUUUUUU

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

WOAH THAT PASS

[313]

Manuuuu

[r0drig0lac]

rocket pass ...wow

[benefactor]

vintage manu

[DPG21920]

:lol Manu to Beli. Beli with the dunk :wow

[TXstbobcat]

Diaw!!!!

[Captivus]

Kmon Belli...dont rush it.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

ugly ass 3 marco lmao

[ElNono]

oh man... that would've been a huge 3

[DatBoyGood]

Damn if Ayres couldve caught that sooner!

[BatManu20]

Damn I really wanted Belli to hit that

[kekovski]

Manu Manu Manu

[ElNono]

det bench is fun as fuck, tbh

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Can we get a gif of that pass from Manu to Marco?

[hooperflash]

I wish Manu fired a bullet pass like that to Lebron's face in the finals... would've been sick!

[PlayNando]

TGY, Skull-1, and jamesevans rolling over in their graves, tbh.

[ElNono]

paging LakerHater

[jARS mEsH sEt]

That pass by Manu was superb. I switched to ESPN to hear their reactions. They seemed pretty pleased/entertained which is good.

[Raven]

when manu passes like that any team can just pray.

[Budkin]

This team looks so focused.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

TGY, Skull-1, and jamesevans rolling over in their graves, tbh.

I give that TOSB credit when he deserves it, tbqh. If he makes a good pass, he makes a good pass. If he plays well, I have no problem admitting that. I just say it like it is.

[GB20]

if timmy start playing better, this team would be fucking scary

[Captivus]

oh man... that would've been a huge 3

Willbreaker!!!

[ElNono]

And that turnaround by Boris the beast was great too, tbh

[Mugen]

I like Fat Gasol tbh. Hope he's okay and wish it was Tony Allen instead tbh.

[HI-FI]

that pass from Manu was truly vintage. lol, I was just talking massive shit about Gino to my brother before that sequence.


also hope Marc is nothing serious, I'm a Gasol fan.

[moisaenz]

Boris wants a 'ship

:lol forgot about det one

[GB20]

Boris wants a 'ship
and big money too

[DPG21920]

Patty Mills energy is fantastic. He's found his defensive niche. It's not sound, probably not effective long term, but he is relentless and high pressure.

[Budkin]

I cringe every time Ayers touches the ball.

[TXstbobcat]

Nice defense

[Captivus]

who else thought Ayres could miss that dunk? haha

[Trainwreck2100]

Ayres cherrypicking like a douche

[DPG21920]

Since the 8th seed upset, Spurs have wrecked Zbo.

[Trainwreck2100]

wtf flagrant?

[313]

who else thought Ayres could miss that dunk? hahaI was nervous lmao

What i miss?

[Raven]

can't remember the last time we had such an easy schedule tbh..

[SpursIndonesia]

What did Davis do to get that flagrant foul ?

[ElNono]

What i miss?

Manu -> Marco pass + dunk gif goodness pretty please

[DatBoyGood]

Patty is the type of player you love to have on your team but would hate if he was an opponent haha

[Trainwreck2100]

Since the 8th seed upset, Spurs have wrecked Zbo.

Would have been no 8 if not for the bullshit 3 he made

2011 was one of the flukiest year in sports history.

Kawhi!!

Ayres is competing hard and finishing well around the rim when he gets it. About as good as you could ask for.

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!

[BatManu20]

Bad O leads to bad D

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Offense looks really funny sometimes, guys are running into each other

[313]

Marco was lost on that last play that's why he was so deep out when he got the ball

[GB20]

we need tiago and timmy please

[ElNono]

Conley has always been a hard cover for us

[Budkin]

Good timeout. Guys losing focus.

Can we get a gif of that pass from Manu to Marco?
