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

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Will the ownage of the Grizzlies continue? Or will they ride the wave coming off a huge win over the Warriors?

[silverblackfan]

Amused with a game thread. Can we really chance another injury?

[SpursFan86]

I think they'll be tired from a tough game against Golden State, and we're at home as well. Spurs will pull out a W here despite being short-handed.

Injury curse is over, Spurs are faking half their "injuries" anyway these days.

[Robz4000]

See you next year, Tim!

[100%duncan]

Fuck you man

[Fireball]

Spurs players get injured all over the place without Amused being involved this season ... to quote Popovich, give the man a break ...

[Sean Cagney]

Fuck you man

:lol

[aal04]

Whos out? Kawhi Parker Mills?

[milkyway21]

Beating the Warriors is not that huge.
SA had beaten Golden State too. Wow, It seemed like ages ago, not the start of the season :D

I hope Manu & Duncan will play.

No Parker, Mills, & no Kawhi but if Diaw, Cojo, Splitter(will he play?), will execute well they can beat those guys. Try the KA mismatch.

Danny Green's D.
Limit turnovers.
More 3s

[urunobili]

Ammused has been the healer this season tbh. I see someone getting healthier tonight :tu and NO, this post shouldn't be fucking blue

You can't wish your injury curse away. It's a thing.

God bless you all. Been posting here for over 10 years but the respect and admiration I get from my peers never seems to wane.

Spurs gonna go balls to the wall tonight :toast

The schedule is fine. This is what I want to see, competitive western conference playoff team matchups. It gets boring as fuck when we play shitty teams every other day.

Who is actually injured on the Spurs right now? Splitter is back, Leonard is back, and Parker and Manu should be fine by now. Duncan is surprisingly healthy for his age. The only key bench player out is Mills, and we have another solid PG in Joseph. So yeah...they should be fine.

[spurs10]

fify Yeah you're right! Go Spurs Go!!

Fortunately, the Grizz don't have viable wing scoring outside a 38 year Vince Carter (who will probably go off), but Kawhi's rebounding and hustle will be missed.

[Beaverfuzz]

Spurs by 6.

[FromWayDowntown]

Damn. I wish Beno would have made big shots like that one when he played for the Spurs. #gloomyprojection

[Silver&Black]

Shit....

Not going to be able to watch the game tonight. The Grizzlies are a "local" team....so there goes my league pass channel. And instead of the Grizzlies coming on (even though my channel guide says that they are coming on) I guarantee you they will show the Atlanta Hawks game. FUCK...this shit happens every time the Spurs play the Grizz.

[SpursFan86]

Tony Allen officially ruled out for tonight.

2 fouls on Timmy. Damn.

[Uriel]

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why Bonner is starting over Splitter.

[loveforthegame]

People still not understanding the importance of Leonard.

No more Bonner. JFC will we ever be rid of him.

[Uriel]

That is egregious.

[r0drig0lac]

wtf

[RD2191]

Terrible offense.

[ElNono]

Defending NBA champions. :lmao

[Robz4000]

Spurs are a mess right now...

[Ice009]

Spurs fucking horrible play.

[Ice009]

There's no sugarcoating this - Spurs are playing some lazy, unfocused Basketball. NBA Champions don't play like this.

Bring some intensity and fire to the game. Wake up!

[r0drig0lac]

waiting green appear without parker and kawhi

[BatManu20]

Welp.

[RD2191]

Cojo carrying these scrubs

[Ice009]

Thanks for coming to camp overweight, Boris. It's really helped the Spurs to the 7th seed. Awesome.

[BatManu20]

Nice Splitter.

[r0drig0lac]

nice footwork

[100%duncan]

You guys need to relax :lol

[TDfan2007]

Offense has been lazy, but the D has been solid. Memphis is just making some tough shots.

[r0drig0lac]

other notes: East spurs is killing the cavs in cleveland

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs are playing like they are on the back end of a tough back-to-back... Not the Grizzlies.

I feel like they're going to waste another good game from Tim like against Jazz and LA

[Ice009]

Awesome defense, Marco.

You can't play that fucking scrub against any good team. Shockingly bad defender.

[ElNono]

ugh VC can't miss

[Fireball]

You guys need to relax :lol

I do not think so ... game is already over .. Daye comin in is proof to that

[BatManu20]

Fucking Vince :lol

[Uriel]

Memphis is playing out of its mind.

[Uriel]

I was so sure that was going in.

[ElNono]

34pt quarter... who said the defense was ok? :lol

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs need to pick up Ray Allen. At this point, just have him jack up threes.

[r0drig0lac]

Vince Carter, of course...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Pop is shitting the bed, this is the worst Spurs team since 2010

[Ice009]

I know I always say this but these guys could be in trouble.

I've been saying it for about a week. No one here wants to listen though.

It's all good, coasting is the standard response around here.

[100%duncan]

At least Beno's still Beno. :lol

[Silver&Black]

Nice 34 point quarter.....fuck.

[DBMethos]

Lol Beno

[100%duncan]

Pop is shitting the bed, this is the worst Spurs team since 2010

We told you fucker.

[Robz4000]

Can't believe Pop started Bonner over Splitter. Just by doing that he gave them 10 free points.

[r0drig0lac]

[crc21209]

GTFO. Any Spurs team that had Jefferson on it is worse than this team...

[Rescueone]

Can they please try and trade Manu, Matt and Marco for at least a box of rocks!

[loveforthegame]

This team is night and day without Leonard.

[BatManu20]

:lol wtf Cojo

[midnightpulp]

These cocksuckers have no fuckin' pride.

[TFloss32]

Da fuq CoJo?

[Budkin]

Fuck this POS team and its POS injuries.

[SpursFan86]

Why in the fuck are we isolating a 38 year old Tim Duncan against one of the best defenders in the league????

[Ice009]

Can't believe Pop started Bonner over Splitter. Just by doing that he gave them 10 free points.

I was expecting Splitter to start. I should have demanded it as it turns out that idiot Pop had other ideas.

[ajh18]

Lots of people cliff-diving in here. This is just injuries catching up with us.

Spurs are missing 2 of their top 4 guys. 3 of their top 8. I'd be interested in knowing what percentage of the offense from last year has been missing due to injuries through the first part of the season. I'm guessing about 20%/game.

We're playing with a 3rd string point guard (don't tell me CoJo is better than that). Haven't had our center for most of the year. Consistently are missing at least one of our stars. Any other team in the league in that position is below .500. We have a good system, but it can't make up for the lack of talent we've had this year due to injuries.

[Venti Quattro]

Wow. Carter is just.............. wow

[Rescueone]

This team just can't play defense

[BatManu20]

Vinsanity

[Venti Quattro]

:lol Danny Green :lmao

[RD2191]

Someone bump gutless worms and sbms popsucker thread.:lol

[r0drig0lac]

wow

[Uriel]

I haven't seen the Spus get this thoroughly outplayed at the AT&T since the 2012 Spurs-Lakers game where Bynum dropped 20-20 on us that triggered a historic SpursTalk meltdown.

[Arc]

this team just can't play basketball.. jesus christ this shit ain't worth watching lol

[BatManu20]

Why in the fuck are we isolating a 38 year old Tim Duncan against one of the best defenders in the league????

Because look at the other players on the floor.... that's why.

[Rescueone]

Green is throwing up bricks

[midnightpulp]

And of course our sorry as shit "shooters" can't make a 3 to save their pathetic lives.

[KL2]

This team is so lost without MVPLeonard smh

maybe we get lucky and they start bricking everything

[Darius Bieber]

Could see Memphis win by 35+

[ElNono]

I would bitch about TD missing 5 freebies already, but he's the only one playing out there

[gilmor2002]

This team is night and day without Leonard.

With Splitter too..

[Rescueone]

And Duncan missing four FTs in a row

[midnightpulp]

And the Tired Old Shitbag can't hit a FT.

This team is beyond frustrating right now.

[BatManu20]

Bad play is infectious tbh.

[Arc]

cojo is garbage. duncan can't hit freebies. no defense. VC turned on god mode. it's a loss.

[Budkin]

Could see Memphis win by 35+

They want this one badly you can tell. Ain't happening for us tonight.

Yup. Definitely miss a guy like Kawhi tonight...

[Darius Bieber]

They want this one badly you can tell. Ain't happening for us tonight.

No doubt, they've been God-mode against Golden State last night and against the Spurs tonight.

[TDfan2007]

The effort is there. Execution offensively is just...wow. Doesn't help that Carter and Lee can't miss...

[Ice009]

This kind of shit is unacceptable. Spurs had the day off, yet Memphis is wiping the floor with us at home.

[BillMc]

I would bitch about TD missing 5 freebies already, but he's the only one playing out there

yep. sad

[Fireball]

bad thing is Gasol and Conley have not done anything offensively in this game ... this is just not right

[Rescueone]

Lol, the odds makers had the Spurs +3 in this games

[SpursFan86]

Yeah, I'm out of here. Just finished finals and I'm trying to relieve stress, not watch the defending champs play like they're a high school team who just started playing basketball.

[Arc]

really missing parker on the offense. he was our best rim attacker and 3 point shooter

[ElNono]

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

[Venti Quattro]

It's funny that the Spurs idea of an International night is Mexican women singing :lmao :lmao

[r0drig0lac]

blazers and mavs the weekend ... this could get ugly quickly

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Memphis scrubs just hitting fluke shots. Spurs playing unfocussed, uninspired basketball. Really missing mvpatty, kawhi and enrique

[midnightpulp]

blazers and mavs the weekend ... this could get ugly quickly

Doesn't help that faggot Pop sits players for hangnails, either.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We told you fucker.

Fuck off faggot

[ElNono]

Why is TD still out there? Now it's the time to bring in Bonner and mail it in

[weebo]

Bellineli fucking sucks why is he even playing ?

[BatManu20]

KA. Smart play.

[BatManu20]

Bellineli fucking sucks why is he even playing ?

Those were poor outlet passes by Tim, tbh...

[Budkin]

Why is TD still out there? Now it's the time to bring in Bonner and mail it in

Yep I agree, one of those nights. Just gotta prevent more injuries.

[PingPong]

KA with the wackiest basket I've ever saw.

[TDfan2007]

Why is TD still out there? Now it's the time to bring in Bonner and mail it in

He's pissed. Probably refusing to sit.

Gotta try and get this thing under 15 by the half.

[Fireball]

that zone shit is cracking me up ...

[Budkin]

We had to revert to the mean sooner or later, we've got an obscene record against these guys since 2011.

[Uriel]

C65oaIHsdYM

[Ice009]

Doesn't help that faggot Pop sits players for hangnails, either.

I think that hurts the team. IMO he shouldn't be resting playing this early in the season if they are ready to go and feeling good. If the injury is legit or they really are fatigued, sure, but it's too early for anyone to be fatigued IMO.

[BillMc]

Time for the old spurs mantra...

Don't get too high, don't get too low.

[weebo]

Those were poor outlet passes by Tim, tbh...

I'm not talking about one particular play...I'm talking about every facet of his game

[Ice009]

btw keep playing Kyle Anderson. I don't want any Daye or Belinelli.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Just cut it down to 10 and mem will start to remember who's daddy

[Fireball]

Duncans look on Gasol ... :lol

[BatManu20]

Diaw almost banking in wide open 3's :wow

[TheGreatYacht]

[RD2191]

[Uriel]

God damn, what happened to Ginobili's head? His bald spot is enormous.

[r0drig0lac]

Marco carrying these scrubs

[Fireball]

Bobo ... cannot make a three

[weebo]

Randolf clearing space with his elbow and Splitter gets called for the foul :lol

[ElNono]

would love a Verde 3 before the half is over, tbh

[TheGreatYacht]

btw keep playing Kyle Anderson. I don't want any Daye or Belinelli.
Another bad take, per par. Without Belinelli this game would be over

[Robz4000]

Gotta keep playing D. Offense is starting to come around, just can't let the Grizz regain their offensive rhythm.

[SpursFan86]

no matter how much I want to turn this off, I continue to watch for some reason

[TDfan2007]

:lol well our defense looks much better when VC isn't on the court raining 3s...

[Fireball]

even if we get this under 10 somewhat, Conley relaxed all game to take this game over any time he wants ...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

If Spurs can get it to single digits who knows.


Pop should have started his best starting 5. Having Cojo and Kyle Anderson in the starting 5 was too much dead weight.

[Rescueone]

That zone defense the Spurs play fucking sucks. Stay on your man

[midnightpulp]

The Splitter. And no, I'm talking about Tiago.

[RD2191]

no matter how much I want to turn this off, I continue to watch for some reason
I've bailed 3 times tonight.

[Ice009]

Another bad take, per par. Without Belinelli this game would be over

Without Belinelli letting Carter start his streak of hot shooting by leaving him wide open, Spurs may not have been in a gigantic hole.

Without Belineli not getting his court time and minutes cut in the playoffs, Spurs might not have won the ring last season.

Take your garbage someplace else. If you like Belinelli that much, take him someplace else and fuck off with him.

[RD2191]

Geezus Tim. Smh.

[midnightpulp]

The Shitbag

[Rescueone]

Hack a Duncan

[TheGreatYacht]

Is Chip Engelland still on the team? Manu splitting free throws, Kawhi's 3PT shooting regressed, Duncan can't hit free throws like it's 2005

[BatManu20]

Manu jam. Those are rare these days.

[TheGreatYacht]

Beautiful ball movement without Joseph

[RD2191]

Swear I saw manu with long hair on that dunk.

[Rescueone]

Make your FTs and they would only be down 2

[PingPong]

Gheez Manu. Be careful with your osteoporosis.

[SpursFan86]

If Tim wasn't doing his best Andre Drummond impression at the FT line we could be within 4 or 5 :bang

[Arcadian]

Pop should have started his best starting 5. Having Cojo and Kyle Anderson in the starting 5 was too much dead weight.

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

[RD2191]

Refs are trash.

[r0drig0lac]

give the ball to Belli and out of the way, thank you

[ElNono]

is Bayne dead or something? Why keep going to Bonner?

[RD2191]

Bonner and clear out

Is Baynes dead?
