Spurs @ Grizzlies Game Thread - 7 PM CST

[Raven]

damn refs are really helping us today

[ElNono]

lmao at "shooting foul"

[RD2191]

Terrible call

[BatManu20]

Belli just needs to get his mojo back. He can easily make those shots.

[ElNono]

fuck prince

[RD2191]

Son of a bitch. Fuck.

[timtonymanu]

Seriously Kawhi. Hero isn't even playing for you to be struggling so much

[BatManu20]

A lot of Kawhi's outside shots aren't even close..

[timtonymanu]

Lol fuck tayshaun prince tbh.

[crc21209]

Fucking scrub who cant shoot of course makes em today...

[timtonymanu]

Play Green

[hater]

Put cojo back in smh

[loveforthegame]

Role players don't deserve the max. We're only going to give him that this summer because other teams are eager to overpay for role players, thus driving up his market value.

Spurs don't normally over pay for role players though.

[spursparker9]

Prince playing like an all-star.

lol he was snubbed when the Wallace brothers, rip and Billups were selected except for him.

[lefty]

Spurs don't normally over pay for role players though.

[NASpurs]

Kawhi should stop tossing salads if he wants that eyesight to get better.

[ElNono]

cojo back in

[BatManu20]

Bad call tbh. Refs helping us out.

[Uriel]

Spurs don't normally over pay for role players though.
Tiago Splitter. Richard Jefferson.

[ElNono]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuu

[BatManu20]

Manuuuuuu

[ironman2886]

Hell yeah, Manu!

[NASpurs]

Manu can't make layups or FTs but he's making it rain from the outside

[Raven]

tosb manu raining threes

[ElNono]

ugh Tay

[NASpurs]

Prince :lmao

[BatManu20]

Fucking hell, somebody cover Prince!

[01Snake]

FUCK! Stop leaving Prince open!

[Trainwreck2100]

are you fucking serious with shit scrub going off?

[ElNono]

verde

[BatManu20]

Danny!

[NASpurs]

DVERDE!

[timtonymanu]

lol called that faggot prince going off.

[ironman2886]

Every Memphis shot attempt is a tear drop. Tf.

[Uriel]

1 MORE REBOUND.

[hater]

Duncan wow

[ace3g]

timmy triple double!!!

[FaM0us Skins]

TD gets the triple double!

[Raven]

triple double for the old grandpa

[NASpurs]

Timmy with the triple double

[BatManu20]

Triple-double for Timmy!

[loveforthegame]

Tiago Splitter. Richard Jefferson.

I said don't normally. Not ever.

Agree with RJ but not Splitter (unless he's going to be on the bench hurt more than not).

There's a change they might let Leonard walk. You should be happy about that.

[ElNono]

TD triple-dub

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Triple Double by Tim "The Big D" Duncan

[Uriel]

TRIPLE DOUBLE.

[hater]

Triple double!!!!

[spursparker9]

is that the oldest triple double ever?

[r0drig0lac]

td is a boss

[SpursFan86]

God damn Memphis will just not give up

[ElNono]

smh dont foul

[Kool Bob Love]

Timmy the GAWD. :worthy:

[ironman2886]

Go back to the bench Kawhi.

[BatManu20]

is that the oldest triple double ever?

No, Karl Malone did it at 40 years old.

[milkyway21]

Duncan triple-double 14-10-10 :clap: :worthy::

[NASpurs]

Future Spur Gasol trying to show off for his future teammates. How cute

[BatManu20]

Need a couple more scores.

[NASpurs]

Manu will make a layup one day again

[SpursFan86]

is that the oldest triple double ever?

Karl Malone had one at 40 with the Lakers...funnily enough, it was against us

[ElNono]

bailout call

[timtonymanu]

This game needs to end already.

[spursparker9]

Future Spur Gasol trying to show off for his future teammates. How cute

Nah. He will be in Memphis for life

[crc21209]

Mediocre call there. Conley sold it with his Kobe-esque yelling like a bitch..

[SpurPadre]

No, Karl Malone did it at 40 years old.

He can keep that distinction. TD will settle for the chance at a Sixth ring and consensus as the Greatest Power Forward of All-Time.

[ElNono]

lol Conley

[Raven]

choke conley

[BatManu20]

Smh

[ironman2886]

3 things from tonight's game: Duncan is still the Man. Cory has been impressive. The refs have helped Memphis all game.

[spursparker9]

Off timmy ?

[NASpurs]

Nah. He will be in Memphis for life

Sure he will...

[Perry Mason]

Lol. The Grizz are pulling and hacking and nothing is being called. This is ridiculous.

[ElNono]

Spurs ball.... Spuuuuuurs ball

[Perry Mason]

What happened to Parker? He seems to have had a good stat line for just 23 minutes. I just started watching.

[ElNono]

such bs

[ElNono]

What happened to Parker? He seems to have had a good stat line for just 23 minutes. I just started watching.

hurt his hammy, out for the night

[spursparker9]

What happened to Parker? He seems to have had a good stat line for just 23 minutes. I just started watching.

hamstring. out for the rest of game

[Perry Mason]

i never thought I'd see the day the Grizz get Laker calls

[NASpurs]

Just double off Allen and make him beat you.

[ElNono]

don't give up a 3 here... stop or a 2 and we can give the middle finger to the refs

[RD2191]

don't give up a 3 here... stop or a 2 and we can give the middle finger to the refs

[ElNono]

[BanditHiro]

[Uriel]

Suddenly had a flashback of Kawhi's missed free throw down the stretch of Game 6. Fuck. :depressed

[RD2191]

Fuck cojo gonna brick both

[spursparker9]

Wow. CoJo only 69 percent FT?

[Raven]

[01Snake]

Cojo with the goods

[FlAVaK]

3 things from tonight's game: Duncan is still the Man. Cory has been impressive. The refs have helped Memphis all game.

[ElNono]

http://rs2img.memecdn.com/middle-finger-up_fb_364825.jpg

[NASpurs]

Team leader Manu Ginobili willing and leading his team again, nothing to see here.

[RD2191]

:lolindubitably

[ezau]

And people think Memphis will beat the Spurs in a series. Are we like 12-0 against them since sweeping them in 2013?

[Beaverfuzz]

Eat shit Memphis.

[hater]

Refs did help the spurs a bit tonight. Especially on the early going. But it wasn't too much

[Raven]

BIG WIN

[RD2191]

Eat shit Memphis.

[NASpurs]

Enjoy your first loss at home Gizzards

[BatManu20]

Good W :tu

[ElNono]

:flag: We win!

Great win

[Raven]

and nonetheless the grizzlies announcers bitched about the refs all game long...

they are right, the refs helped us big time today.

[SpursFan86]

Looks like Minnesota might beat Houston tonight...Dallas is losing to Phoenix as well :tu

[loveforthegame]

Always good beating Memphis. :tu

[ironman2886]

What game will Kawhi show up again?

[BillMc]

Any news on TP's hamstring? How bad?

[Kabals]

Refs help Memphis to cut the lead to 5 in the 3rd but they had a lot of calls in our favor after so can't complain about them.

[SpurPadre]

And people think Memphis will beat the Spurs in a series. Are we like 12-0 against them since sweeping them in 2013?

Which people? I haven't heard of that besides Uncle Tom Barkley.

[Silver&Black]

Any news on TP's hamstring? How bad?

I heard Bill on WOAI say it was "nothing serious".

[SpurPadre]

I heard Bill on WOAI say it was "nothing serious".

Phew, that's good to know.

[ironman2886]

Which people? I haven't heard of that besides Uncle Tom Barkley.
:lol at Barkley and his love for Memphis, every effing year.

[Beaverfuzz]

Another pretender down, on the road no less. I love it.

[SpursFan86]

Nevermind, Minnesota fucking blows

[Beaverfuzz]

Any news on TP's hamstring? How bad?

Leg to be amputated, film at 11.

[BillMc]

I heard Bill on WOAI say it was "nothing serious".

Cheers, that's a relief

[BillMc]

Leg to be amputated, film at 11.

Well, as long as its not serious.:lol

[ironman2886]

Dallas? Check. Golden State? Check. Clippers? Check. Memphis? Check.

[Silver&Black]

Phew, that's good to know.

He called it a "mild hamstring strain"....but again he didn't seem too worried. Now...take it with a grain of salt. You know how our organization works....we usually downplay all injuries.

[Brunodf]

Good game overall.

But wtf were those Refs doing, Spurs couldn't buy a foul despite being hammered every time they drived to the basket while the Grizzlies got every FTA they wanted...

[SpurPadre]

:lol at Barkley and his love for Memphis, every effing year.

Yeah, after basically saying he doesn't think slavery was as bad as people said last night, he went on to say the Dubs, Mavs, Rockets and Blazers are better than us and would beat us in the playoffs. Shaq and Kenny and EJ react as usual like the fat fucking idiot that he is.

[milkyway21]

Dallas? Check. Golden State? Check. Clippers? Check. Memphis? Check.

Dragic's Suns still agead of Dallas :tu

[ironman2886]

Memphis 22 game home win streak ended at the hands of the Spurs. No team has won there since February. Nice.

[SpurPadre]

They haven't downplayed Tiago's, imo.

The only team I can't wrap my head around is Houston. Spurs haven't beaten those f#ckers in a while.

[TampaDude]

HA HA fuck the Grizz.

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[Silver&Black]

They haven't downplayed Tiago's, imo.

Touché....

[SpurPadre]

Touché....

They make it seem like the poor bastard has Ebola.

[RD2191]

Fucking Spurs have owned the shit out of Memphis since that upset. Spurs won't let them live their deliberate tanking down.

[heyheymymy]

Spurs actually beating the good teams this year unlike 2014. Not sure if that's good or bad since Spurs rang last year and couldn't beat a tough team till after the ASB

[heyheymymy]

Fucking Spurs have owned the shit out of Memphis since that upset. Spurs won't let them live their deliberate tanking down.

feels good man. reminds them every time that it was really just manu's broken arm and they've been soundly handled since then.

[Mikeanaro]

Very interesting game from the beginning to the end, during the last 5 minutes when we had a 14 point lead things started to feel secured, how wrong I was but Spurs got the Win on the road, big W.

[littlecoyotecoin]

feels good man. reminds them every time that it was really just manu's broken arm and they've been soundly handled since then.

Yeah, I chuckle at how that is often historically glossed over. Arguably, our most dynamic guy was playing with a broken elbow. The takeaway for most people: You guys lost to 8th seed!!11lolz!!1

[BillMc]

feels good man. reminds them every time that it was really just manu's broken arm and they've been soundly handled since then.

Timmy had a bad ankle too as I remember.

[heyheymymy]

Timmy had a bad ankle too as I remember.

And Dicky J, Old man Dice, Beta Hill and Bonner/Blair didn't help

[Galileo]

is that the oldest triple double ever?

No.

[tim_duncan_fan]

SO I missed this game, a Timmy triple-double game...fucking pissed that I missed it too. But anyway, someone give me a quick run down of the storylines tonight. Did Green get bitched out? Was TP smirking smugly at his teammates? Did Ginobili goof off late in the game?

Spurs played well but Grizzlies Refs made a run in the 2nd half...

Green had a great 1st half but did some dumb plays in the 3rd and got benched

Kawhi/Diaw played like s#it

CoJo was pretty good on both ends

TD/Manu carried(5-5 from 3s, made 2 out of 2 FTs to close the game)

Tim and Manu played great. Future Spur Gasol is a scoring machine. Off night for KL2. Gollum was hitting 3's like it was 2005.

Manu (5-5) was hitting 3's from all angles like it was 2005 :lmao :lmao

[DarrinS]

Meh, it's more of an anomaly for Prince to go off than hall-of-fame-lock Manu.

[TampaDude]

Timmay with the trip-dub!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

Thanks guys. lol @ Gollum. Never knew he was called that but he definitely has the gangliness for it.

[ElNono]

Ginobili, Duncan lift Spurs over Grizzlies 107-101

Manu Ginobili led Spurs scorers with 17 points, while the 38-year-old Duncan recorded 14 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, the fourth triple-double in his career.

"That's something very hard to accomplish when you're 38 and in a tough game that is not one of those games that ends up 138-129," Ginobili said of Duncan's feat. "It's something very hard to do."

"Tim Duncan and Matty played just impressive, outstanding defense," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "Those are two guys that are really hardcore. .Those two guys were magnificent."

"We've been lucky to come out on top because I think every game we play, nothing's a blowout," Duncan said of the series. "It's not like we're running away from them. It's a battle back and forth, and we've just made more shots than they have."

"I don't care how many times they beat us before," Gasol said. "I felt we were going to get them. But, you know, it didn't go that way."

"We spotted them too many points," Memphis coach Dave Joerger said, later adding: "We stood and held the ball too much. We were kind of in a hurry offensively and didn't screen hard enough to get guys open."

PARKER PROBLEM: Parker left the game in the third quarter with a "mild strain" of his left hamstring and did not return. Spurs officials did not have an update on his condition after the game.
