Grizzlies @ Spurs game blog, Dec 17, 7:30 CT

[PingPong]

If Manu shoots upsidedown the whole time, his rate will be 100%.

[Fireball]

Will they get over the hump they could not against Utah or Brooklyn, but a home game might be the difference

[BatManu20]

:lol RIP Manu's FT shooting.

[RD2191]

Would be up if Tim didn't channel his inner shaq.

[TheGreatYacht]

Cojo -18

Next worse? Splitter -6

[ElNono]

too much energy spent on the comeback, but the Griz should start getting a bit tired too in the 2nd half... they're on a b2b

[Nathan89]

Hardest part of a 4pts play for Manu is the ft

[TDfan2007]

Manu...what a gamer. He and Timmy are such warriors. And Danny has been all over the place with his hustle.

[Fireball]

Thanks for all those missed FT's Duncan stop it, Timmy played hard when everybody else took a nap

[midnightpulp]

:lol Of course he clanks the freebie.

Can't complain, though. Great 2nd quarter.

[SpursFan86]

9/17 from the FT line :bang

[BatManu20]

Remember when this thread was melting down about 30 min ago? :lol

Grizz played out of their mind's the 1st qtr, we played like shit & can't hit FT's, and we're only down 7 at half.

Classic ST :tu

[SupremeGuy]

Fucking Manu... I don't even know. This guy can suck dick HARD one night and then go Jordan the next. Ugh.

[beirmeistr]

Would be up if Tim didn't channel his inner shaq.

Hilarious

[Budkin]

9-17 from the line. Fuck.

[Nathan89]

Thanks for all those missed FT's Duncan

Shut up faggot

[Hoops Czar]

There's something just not right about Timmy being tied for the team lead in assists with 2.

[SupremeGuy]

Remember when this thread was melting down about 30 min ago? :lol

Grizz played out of their mind's the 1st qtr, we played like shit & can't hit FT's, and we're only down 7 at half. Classic ST :tuThat's what I told my girl, like there's nothing we can do if they're hitting contested 15 footers. And then we're missing FTs.

Can't believe we cut the deficit.

[Ice009]

Here's a tip - Don't start Bonner in the second half.

Looks like I might have to give it up to Harlem, CoJo may just be as crappy a PG as he's been saying he is.

[milkyway21]

Green 3 blocks:tu. Wish he can contribute pts too, esp from beyond d arc

[Arc]

cojo is the problem on offense. he's not doing a goddamn thing to help us score. doesn't attack. doesn't shoot. enrique and patty, come back soon please!

[Hoops Czar]

too much energy spent on the comeback, but the Griz should start getting a bit tired too in the 2nd half... they're on a b2b

How did CoJo and is his -18 look in the first half and was it as bad as it sounds?

[TheGreatYacht]

Matty :lol 0pts, 0reb, 0ast, 0stl, 0blk, 0TO, -7

[TheGreatYacht]

cojo is the problem on offense. he's not doing a goddamn thing to help us score. doesn't attack. doesn't shoot. enrique and patty, come back soon please!
Fact

[Ice009]

Manu...what a gamer. He and Timmy are such warriors. And Danny has been all over the place with his hustle.

Man, Manu is a serious competitor. Tim has been playing his ass off too. He's usually been the Spurs best player in a lot of these recent losses. TD always brings it. I love that he got angry and wanted to keep playing early in the game when everything was going against him.

[BillMc]

Fucking Manu... I don't even know. This guy can suck dick HARD one night and then go Jordan the next. Ugh.

His shooting I agree, but the rest of his game is fairly consistent.

[spurraider21]

down 7, missed 8 free throws

[Rescueone]

You shut the fuck up wet pussy

[Ice009]

Fucking Manu... I don't even know. This guy can suck dick HARD one night and then go Jordan the next. Ugh.

That's why a lot of a us get frustrated with him. It's hard to pick which Manu you're going to get these days.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

who else can start at PG? I think you meant Bonner and Anderson. Diaw and Splitter should be starting.

Yeah, fair enough

[ElNono]

How did CoJo and is his -18 look in the first half and was it as bad as it sounds?


wtf is cojo running?


the offense has never run right with Cojo out there... it's not effort or anything, and I don't want to make him the scapegoat, but our offensive sets that are not 4-down are shit right now

you get the idea

[BatManu20]

In other news, the Cavs lost by 30 at home to Atlanta tonight :tu

[ElNono]

That's why a lot of a us get frustrated with him. It's hard to pick which Manu you're going to get these days.

you always get the guy that gives 110%....

[Ice009]

His shooting I agree, but the rest of his game is fairly consistent.

Turnovers aren't consistent either. Sometimes Manu plays an amazing precision game with minimal turnovers.

[RD2191]

Blame marco, not cojo.

[Rescueone]

Shut up faggot

Fuck you and your gay ass comment you fucking soft wet pussy

[BillMc]

Anyone notice that Pop has more hair this year? I think that beard is to distract people from his transplants. :lol

[beirmeistr]

Wish Pop would start Manu in 2nd half.

[RD2191]

Settle down ladies.

[Nathan89]

Memphis fans will lose all hope if they lose this.:lol

[ElNono]

I blame Bonner, tbh

[RD2191]

Anyone notice that Pop has more hair this year? I think that beard is to distract people from his transplants. :lol
:lol

[beirmeistr]

Anyone notice that Pop has more hair this year? I think that beard is to distract people from his transplants. :lol

He should refer his hair specialist to Manu.

[Nathan89]

Fuck you and your gay ass comment you fucking soft wet pussy

That's what you get for that snarky as comment to someone that brought five rings to this team.

[Ice009]

you always get the guy that gives 110%....

He's one of my favorite players man. I always want him to do well. He's the guy that bought me back to the team in 2003 (along with TD still giving it his all despite some aging players on the Spurs roster at the time bringing the team down) when things didn't look good when the Lakers were 3peating.

[TheGreatYacht]

Settle down ladies.
Hope you get better bruh

[Robz4000]

Freethrows being the difference maker again. Signing Ray Allen just for his FT shooting is starting to sound more and more interesting...

[RD2191]

Green 3 blocks:tu. Wish he can contribute pts too, esp from beyond d arc


Hope you get better bruh
Thanks man. Appreciate it.

[RD2191]

Don't know why that multi quoted

[Rescueone]

Are you serious Marco

[PingPong]

Where's Baynes?

[Ice009]

The dumb shit Pop still starts Bonner.

[RD2191]

Marco start? Tf

[Rescueone]

Here they go again with this horrible D and zero offense

[Ice009]

Wrong lineup, Pop. Fuck.

[Malik Hairston]

I bet 3 units on Memphis moneyline, tbh, Spurs scared me with the run at the end of the half:lol..

[ElNono]

I blame Bonner, tbh

[Ditty]

Bonner is useless

[Robz4000]

Pop fucking things up again...

[milkyway21]

If Bonner doesn't want to shoot yank him out Pop !

[Ice009]

Pop is a tool.

[RD2191]

Yeah, cojo is the reason we're sucking out there.:rolleyes

[SpursFan86]

literally could've not have come out worse after the half...what a fucking joke

[Rescueone]

Is Baynes in Pops dog house?

[Ditty]

Should of kept watching on my computer we were coming back on there :lol

[Robz4000]

:lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

WHY IS BONNER STILL IN THE NBA?

[ElNono]

can't buy a basket right now, they're not even bad looks

[Budkin]

Well that was fun while it lasted. *sigh*

[Malik Hairston]

Bonner just doesn't look like he belongs in the NBA at this age when you see him on the floor, tbh:lol..he's so slow and awkward(well, I guess he has always been, but exacerbated with aging now)..

[RD2191]

Lol scrub cojo ruining the offensive flow.:lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nba/players/full/1996.png&w=350&h=254

[Rescueone]

Think they're still in the locker room

[hater]

:lmao Bonner and Benchinelli

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs can not score, where is the fucking ball movement?

[itzsoweezee]

Bonner Bonner Bonner WhY WHY WHY?

[Fireball]

game of runs ... Spurs will not get over the hump in this one

[KaiRMD1]

We can't buy a fucking bucket smh

[TDfan2007]

Bad energy to start the half, but also the Griz are hitting tough shots again. Zbo's shot was near the 3 point line and Lee took a tough transition pullup.

[Ice009]

This shit is on Pop.

Fucking start Splitter you stupid motherfucker. Bonner had no business being on the court. Neither does Belinelli.

You need a defensive balance. Can't go all offense and no defense. What a twat.

[Rescueone]

Lol scrub cojo ruining the offensive flow.:lol

Should have stated Marco

[Malik Hairston]

Belinelli needs to stop flopping on every single play, and try to actually score:lol..

This nigga is too concerned with falling after every shot, tbh..

[mkurts]

Yep keep shooting the long 2pt shots

[BillMc]

If Marco doesn't score he's useless.

[RD2191]

Lol cojo defense

[TheGreatYacht]

I'm bumping the "We need more Bonner" thread

[Rescueone]

Bonner stinks

[ElNono]

lol Bonner trying to post up tim

[SpursFan86]

Why the fuck is Bonner still playing?

[Budkin]

Back to 15. Fuck these bitches.

[Malik Hairston]

:lmao Bonner is so cute, trying to play basketball and all..

[milkyway21]

Bonner is hurting than helping .. :( :cry

[SpursFan86]

Why do we continue to isolate against Marc Gasol? Does it really take a genius to see why that's not a good idea?

[Malik Hairston]

If your best offensive option is Tim going 1 on 1 against arguably the best defensive player in the NBA, then ya, you aren't going to score much:lol..

[BatManu20]

:lol Danny

[Rescueone]

Not your game Green

[RD2191]

Need Manu with cojo on the floor.

[Rescueone]

No points in the second half yet

[loveforthegame]

I really hope Leonard doesn't get stuck with that POS Bonner and Marco in his next contract.

[Ditty]

Anyone miss MVParker yet? :lmao

[BatManu20]

If Marco doesn't score he's useless.

The same can be said for half the players in this league, tbh.

[Ice009]

I fucking knew it. This lineup that the retard Pop started with was going to get them blown out.

Cannot go all offense and no defense. If the offense didn't come up, then the lack of defense was going to get us blown out.

[BatManu20]

Anyone miss MVParker yet? :lmao

All the people who hate on Tony and say we play better without him are the one's who are going to be calling him a pussy for not returning sooner :lol

[Ice009]

I really hope Leonard doesn't get stuck with that POS Bonner and Marco in his next contract.

lol. Why would Kawhi even want to come back to this team? If Tim and Manu go, I wouldn't want to play with these fucking scrubs.

[Malik Hairston]

Bad night for Danny to miss his shots, tbh..

Bonner is just completely useless, Spurs need to rebound..

[ElNono]

lol conley

[RD2191]

Flop

[itzsoweezee]

what a fucking shitty lineup

[Rescueone]

Get out of that sad ass zone

[td4mvp21]

Duncan and Splitter played ZERO minutes together in the third.

[Arcadian]

:wow That Gasol spin move and dunk was one of the few times that Duncan has looked his age.

[Robz4000]

Why the fuck did Pop play Bonner 7 minutes?!

[Malik Hairston]

Anyone miss MVParker yet? :lmao

MVPatty and Kawhi are missed..Spurs have to get used to Parker not playing in the playoffs, since he's going to inevitably disappear like he does every year, of course..

[ElNono]

manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[BatManu20]

Manuuuu

[gilmor2002]

MVPatty and Kawhi are missed..Spurs have to get used to Parker not playing in the playoffs, since he's going to inevitably disappear like he does every year, of course..

Actually Kawhi is the only one we missed..

[jbspurs]

Bonner is really good when he's on the bench..

[RD2191]

Cojo assist tbh.

[ElNono]

capt gino, no helmet, no mouthpiece, no deodorant, remember the alamo, taking them team by the balls, carrying it kicking and screaming past the finish line...

[Fireball]

why could we not make a shot in the first 5 minutes of the 3rd?

[Budkin]

only 5 minutes left and we've only scored 6 :lmao

[r0drig0lac]

green going to a 5x5
Bonner going to 5x0

[Ice009]

Why the fuck did Pop play Bonner 7 minutes?!

The guy's an idiot. He gave Bonner a pat on the back when he came out in the first quarter. I should have known then that he's back to sucking Bonner off.

[RD2191]

Cojo and manu

[Budkin]

only 5 minutes left and we've only scored 6 :lmao

Spoke too soon

[ElNono]

manuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[BatManu20]

545416186906034176

[Kool Bob Love]

This fucking guy Manu Ginobili. Wow.

[urunobili]

Can someone explain me why Baynes is not playing???

[testies]

he

[ElNono]

ugh Beli take the shot

[testies]

manu = GOAAAT

BEST ATHLETE I HISTORY

[RD2191]

Cojo tenacious defense

[RD2191]

This fucking guy Manu Ginobili. Wow.
Cojo steal tbh

[RD2191]

Diaw wtf

[Fireball]

Manu was 9/10 from three against the Grizz this season ... you knew he would hoist up another as soon as he got the chance

[Ice009]

545416186906034176

Spurs should get into the mix for that too. Dangle Parker.

[milkyway21]

the Spurs can beat these guys from the 3pt line guys !!! GO MANU!

NEW HAIRCUT huh!

[urunobili]

Can someone explain me why Baynes is not playing???

[Ice009]

Manu was 9/10 from three against the Grizz this season ... you knew he would hoist up another as soon as he got the chance

He shouldn't have had to take that last one. His teammates passed up shots earlier in the possession.

[ElNono]

Diaw 2.0

[Kool Bob Love]

Spurrrrss!!!!!!

[Malik Hairston]

This would be such an embarrassing loss for Memphis, tbh:lol..

[ElNono]

Gino-Tiago :tu

[milkyway21]

Here's anothet 3 from Diaw :rollin

[RD2191]

Fuck, vc

[r0drig0lac]

these guys are amazing when they are clicking

[buujness]

Ginobili!

[Kool Bob Love]

14!!!

[milkyway21]

Gino-Tiago :tu

Manu energized by Tiago's screens :D

[Trainwreck2100]

eat shit carter

[jbspurs]

Down to 5 ... Time for Bonner to come in!!!

[ElNono]

well, 5 pt game... time for Pop to bring Matty back and call it a night

[Beaverfuzz]

Let's kick their ass in the 4th. This game is for the taking.

[PingPong]

The frogging gang is just missing Mills.

[BatManu20]

545416186906034176

545416713802895360

[ElNono]

Down to 5 ... Time for Bonner to come in!!!

lol

[RD2191]

Cojo deserves some credit for that comeback. Did a bit of everything.

[Malik Hairston]

I wonder what Danny's % is from 5-feet+ beyond the 3-point line, this season..seems like he makes all of the long ones:lol..

[loveforthegame]

Here comes the Ayers-Daye-Bonner-Marco lineup.

[ElNono]

can't ride Manu for much longer... he's probably gassed by now... would like to see some Verde 3 plays, tbh

[urunobili]

Any takes on why Baynes isn't playing? :depressed

[Malik Hairston]

Spurs are playing with house money, tbh..

Down 23 points in this game vs. a "contender" that hasn't beaten them in 10 straight games, playing without Leonard and Mills, and Splitter still not playing regular minutes..

It's a meaningless regular season game, but if Memphis can't beat the Spurs with the circumstances in their favor, when are they ever going to defeat the Spurs?:lol..

[RD2191]

Fuck

[RD2191]

Can't get a stop

[Arcadian]

http://cdn.meme.am/instances/50385556.jpg

[RD2191]

Manu come on man.

[ElNono]

damn, shoulda gone for the 3...

[r0drig0lac]

lol manu

[itzsoweezee]

Ginobili playing like a superstar tonight.

[Beaverfuzz]

TURNOBLI!

[ElNono]

[RD2191]

Cojo with some smart plays tonight.

[Ditty]

Big balls!

[r0drig0lac]

awesome

[FaM0us Skins]

Beli!

[testies]

No Duncan = passing, moving, screening, defense. we tie the game

god, if people here weren't so blind

[TDfan2007]

:lol this game has been so ridiculous

[Robz4000]

The 3-ball brought them back. Haven't been able to say that much this season...

[Kool Bob Love]

Spurs with the tie. :rollin

[ElNono]

[Trainwreck2100]

B3llin3lli

[TDfan2007]

Marco is making all the right decisions in terms of knowing when to pass/shoot.

[Fireball]

will Cojo have enough energy to go against Conley in the end?

[Malik Hairston]

:lmao Spurs just completely own this Memphis team, tbh..

I wonder if Pop plays videos of the 2011 series prior to every Spurs-Grizzlies game..

[milkyway21]

Beli from Italy 3-ptr. TIE GAME !!!!! :cheer

[Silver&Black]

Verde 4 3333333333333

[FaM0us Skins]

Good ball movement.

[RD2191]

Cojo just assisting everyone tonight

[r0drig0lac]

GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNN

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Danny's dick is sooo huge

[Beaverfuzz]

FUCK YEAH BITCHES!

[elemento]

Yeah baby !

[Rescueone]

That's what you get for that snarky as comment to someone that brought five rings to this team.

Dumb ass, I can say what I want. Or are you going to come over to shut me up?

[Arcadian]

These Spurs are some battle-hardened motherfuckers. After the 2013 Finals, this game ain't shit.

[Malik Hairston]

Splitter gets absolutely no respect from refs:lol..can't even get a call against some ugly, balding backup C..

[RD2191]

Fuck

[jeebus]

I forgot how fucking soft Shitter is in the paint

[Beaverfuzz]

Come on you fuckers, finish this game. Go Spurs Go! :flag:

[ElNono]

can't get a call at home, smh

[r0drig0lac]

conley in an all star season

[KaiRMD1]

Where are the calls? Seriously

[Robz4000]

Spurs dug themselves that hole but overall the refs have been garbage tonight. Three missed calls in a row...

[Malik Hairston]

Diaw got murdered there:lol..

[crc21209]

Sooo last I checked the Spurs are the defending champion AND this game is in SA right? Yet they cant get a call...WTF?!?!

[Robz4000]

Hell, Spurs haven't been able to get a call all season. You'd think the defending champs would get more respect...

[Nathan89]

Dumb ass, I can say what I want. Or are you going to come over to shut me up?

As can I and I said "shut up faggot."

[ElNono]

Cojo/Manu/Verde/Tiago/Tim... now Pop

[Fireball]

Conley will take over now ... need Manu in to counter that

[RD2191]

Hope this isn't another wasted effort game.

[milkyway21]

We don't have low post authority now that TD is tired and Kawhi us out..let's beat them from the perimeter :D

$purs 11-21 52% 3-ptr :clap:

[Malik Hairston]

Hopefully they don't revert to Duncan isos when he returns, tbh..

[ElNono]

get to the penalty early

[RD2191]

Are we down 1 or 3?

[PingPong]

Diaw wasted more energy in the last minutes than in the rest of the season until now.

[Ditty]

Ginobili can never make two free throws now :lol

[Rescueone]

Manu with the typical missed Ft

[testies]

Duncan cant defend anymore

[RD2191]

Tf I'm trippin

[007nites]

Randolph Childress

[Silver&Black]

Come on refs.....that's an and 1.

[ElNono]

need 2 more pts from Gino

[Malik Hairston]

Hopefully Manu doesn't run out of gas, he has created everything tonight..

[Silver&Black]

C'mon lets get the lead back

[RD2191]

Hopefully Manu doesn't run out of gas, he has created everything tonight..
Cojo assisted in like 4 3s tonight. Come on man.

[007nites]

banker

[milkyway21]

Defense !!!

[Beaverfuzz]

Eat shit and bark at the moon Randolph, but by all means keep beating Portland. :)

[FaM0us Skins]

Good d

[RD2191]

On*

[Malik Hairston]

Fuck, DG has like 5 in-and-outs tonight..smh..

[testies]

Splitter best caucasian defender of all time

[007nites]

Shavlik Randolph

[Rescueone]

As can I and I said "shut up faggot."
Lol, ok pussy

[007nites]

Splitter best caucasian defender of all time

Better then Stockton?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Ooofff so many shots hanging on the rim and not falling

[Malik Hairston]

Splitter best caucasian defender of all time

By far the best defensive big on the team, and most underrated in the league, tbh..

[jeebus]

can't get a call at home, smh


Where are the calls? Seriously


Spurs dug themselves that hole but overall the refs have been garbage tonight. Three missed calls in a row...


Hell, Spurs haven't been able to get a call all season. You'd think the defending champs would get more respect...

Grizzlies: 23 fouls
Spurms: 12 fouls



:lol spurfan

[Malik Hairston]

Imagine Bonner didn't play tonight, Spurs would be winning by 20, tbh:lol..

I think Pop got bored of killing Memphis every game, and decided to spot them 20 points before removing Bonner..

[FaM0us Skins]

Good block.

[007nites]

Timmy staring Conley down lol

[Malik Hairston]

Danny Green just destroyed Conley on that entire possession:lmao..3 tipped balls..

[RD2191]

Get cojo on conley, tbh.

[RD2191]

Sigh

[RD2191]

Tf tim
