Game Thread: Spurs @ Grizzlies -- Thur. (12/3) - 8:30PM CST (4:30AM Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

In Memphis tonight to take on the 11-6 Grizzlies for the 2nd game of a b2b. The Grizz are winners of 8 of their last 10 and are playing good basketball after a slow start to the season. Last night's blowout win should allow Pop to have all his players ready to go tonight. Game will be nationally televised on TNT. Let's get it.

Nationally televised game on the road? Instant loss.

[spurs10]

Will be tough..:flag:

[spursistan]

Memphis has improved after a horrendous start along with Marc Gasol who just put up a career-high last game..and then you have Matt Barnes :depressed...

Time for Kawhi to end this nonsense joke or this is another L on national television..

[timtonymanu]

Considering it's another playoff team on the road, the Spurs could lose this one. A win would be great.

[loveforthegame]

Stay healthy. Play smart. Get the win.

:flag:

[BatManu20]

To pass some time: Last year's Triple-OT loss at home to the Grizz. Still annoys me that Gasol traveled on his game-tying 3 :lol

*Also, Manu's final shot attempt to win it was horrendous.

[BillMc]

I predict a close win for SA. :flag:

[r0drig0lac]

hoping Simmons play good minutes today

[ceperez]

Will Boban play?

JaMychal Green revenge game.

[Fireball]

Scheduled loss ... its written in the deepest threads of ST

[BatManu20]

JaMychal Green revenge game.

He's actually been playing well for them. Wouldn't be surprised if he has a good game.

[SupremeGuy]

Hopefully Green and the bench shows up tonight.FIFY

[NameLess Scrub]

Why TNT? Why a road game on a back to back?
What if Pop decided to bench the old dudes?

Anyway, Gasol 20-20, Tony Allen makes more 3s than Danny. Spurs lose.

[hater]

Avoid. At all costs. This. Team.

[apalisoc_9]

Avoid. At all costs. This. Team.

:lmao

That's the NBA daring Pop to do his worst...

[Robz4000]

Not sure what to expect tonight tbh. Spurs have been terrible on the road against good teams, but it's the Grizz and hater likes them...

I wish they had won that game in Miami where Pop played with the bench.
2012-2013 season I think it was.

Silly national TV schedule.

On the other hand, just dump it to Kawhi and let him try to score 30 on Barnes.

[SupremeGuy]

Nationally televised game on the road? Instant loss.And on the second night of a b2b. :lol Pop is going to start Becky and Ime.

[Canyonero]

Go espuelas.

[Kool Bob Love]

Hopefully Matt Barnes goes easy on Kiwi.

Hopefully Matt Barnes goes easy on Kiwi.
He should be tired since he went hard on your wife last night.

With hater and Barkley picking the Grizzlies to win, Spurs should win this game by 30 tbh.

Need the bench to step up tonight. Mills, Diaw, Anderson, and Gino. Our starters overmatch theirs, need others to step up. Go Spurs!

Butler to miss two games By Tom Orsborn (http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/author/torsborn/) on December 3, 2015 at 7:22 PM

MEMPHIS – Guard/forward Rasual Butler will miss the Spurs’ next two games, including Thursday night’s contest with the Grizzlies, because of personal reasons, a team spokesman said.

[Robz4000]

Shit, hope everything's ok with him/his family.

Good shit Heat

[Ron Swanson]

FSW has pregame going, but TNT is still running long. I'd rather watch FSW anyhow.

Yeah, the national broadcast will probably talk about the Warriors more than the teams actually playing.

[sasaint]

No OT. Heat dispatch Thunder!

[BatManu20]

Miami beats OKC. Nice.

[Fireball]

now we can lose as well

[Robz4000]

Fuck that, I want them going up 4 games in the loss column.

[Fireball]

Fuck that, I want them going up 4 games in the loss column.

I want that too ... its just not gonna happen

[BatManu20]

Tony looks suave walking into the arena, tbh

[TXstbobcat]

Nice to see Sager back. :toast

[BatManu20]

Glad to see Sager back too

[NASpurs]

I want that too ... its just not gonna happen

:lol that's true, it's like there's a fucking rubber band connected to the Spurs and whoever is in 3rd. It never fails.

[Ron Swanson]

Let's do this shit.

[timtonymanu]

Ugh Reggie Miller

[ace3g]

Grizz with the retro jersey

[Ron Swanson]

Glad I don't have to listen to Reggie Miller tonight.

Kenny smith said wade is 2nd to none aging gracefully? Has he seen Tim fucking Duncan?

Gasol had a career high in points last game ... he is back from hibernation

Fuck...it's Reggie Miller on commentary.

[loveforthegame]

No Green. No.

[spursistan]

ugh Green

[Ron Swanson]

Kenny smith said wade is 2nd to none aging gracefully? Has he seen Tim fucking Duncan?

I'd call Kenny Smith retarded, but that would be an insult to mentally challenged people.

[HI-FI]

not digging the Tampon Red look.

[Kawhitstorm]

Faggy Green up to his old trick:bang

[SupremeGuy]

Godfuckingdammit Green. Not only did you shit on yourself on offense but then you got burned on defense too. FUCK.

Time to start Simmons. :cry

[Ron Swanson]

Land with the FT jinx on Green.

[Kawhitstorm]

671724221328830466

Curry's TS% is through the roof

[Fireball]

game over tbh :lol

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!!!!!

[SupremeGuy]

If Pop wasn't such a conservative old faggot, he should try starting Simmons. Too bad he's only liberal in everything else.

[loveforthegame]

LMA ugh.

[weeks]

another soft ass LMA finish

[Ron Swanson]

Bad start

[timtonymanu]

Lol this team on the road

[SupremeGuy]

:cry game over :cry

[Robz4000]

Spurs have no legs

[loveforthegame]

Terrible start. Nothing in the post.

[ElNono]

we're playing the Clippers?

[BatManu20]

Spurs missing everything, can't stop Memphis from scoring. Pretty much how everyone envisioned tbh

[Darius Bieber]

Game over tbh

[keeferob25]

Green is so garbage this season!

[Kawhitstorm]

Might want to play zone b/c there are too many holes in the defense

[spursistan]

Even team D suffers on the road..

[Fireball]

everything going as expected ... LMA driving is as ugly as Green tbh

[spurtech09]

Think the spurs will get blown out tonight.

[beirmeistr]

damn, thr spurs are icy cold to start the game

[Kawhitstorm]

Green is so garbage this season!

Simmons is breathing down his neck:lol

[TDfan2007]

Not a good start...maybe try a Lamarcus post up?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Spurs don't look like they care tonight :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

everything going as expected ... LMA driving is as ugly as Green tbh

LMA has no touch at the rim ala Dwight Howard:lol

[ElNono]

:lol chill, it's a long game... push come to shove, we'll get everybody a lot of rest

[Keepin' it real]

another soft ass LMA finish

But if it had gone in, you'd be like "Great shot, LMA! He has great touch around the basket."

[NASpurs]

So all you have to do to shut down Aldridge is make him drive the ball? Sounds like a power forward Danny Green.

[TheGreatYacht]

Green is done. And Pop is a faggot for making dribble so much

[Fireball]

:lol soft ass schedule
:lol defense
:lol I wanna see a Green LMA fast break

[SupremeGuy]

Danny Green is playing like Tony last year... wtf? Did Tony fuck his girl or something?

[Horse]

Grizz getting some garbage ass shots to fall

[RD2191]

it's true your honor, this team has no dick.
:lol

[SpurPadre]

TNT now forgetting about Manu.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Timmy.

[spursgu]

Timmeh

[Ron Swanson]

Timmy carrying the scrubs

[spurtech09]

When was the last game Grizz played?

[RD2191]

TP!

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!!!!!

[BatManu20]

Danny can't even field a ball cleanly right now :lol

[BatManu20]

Tony!

[ajh18]

Reggie Miller comparing Kobe's aging to Tim's is a crime against basketball.

[SupremeGuy]

Seriously, why is Green still starting? Give Simmons a chance.

[RD2191]

Fuck

[Keepin' it real]

Green showing ball skills with behind the back pass.

[atoyotagaspedal]

green was open but won't pass it cause they know he'll miss

[loveforthegame]

That's what Leonard needs to do. Drive and draw fouls.

[RD2191]

Is LMA on the floor?

[Keepin' it real]

Seriously, why is Green still starting? Give Simmons a chance.

Stop posting.

Kawhi looks like he needs a week off tbh

[spurtech09]

Hope LMA does something tonight.....

[EVAY]

Curry's TS% is through the roof

Because that stat includes and weighs 3 pointers, which is a Curry specialty and which TP takes very seldom. Curry's TS% is higher than anyone, including Kawhi.

Still an impressive stat for TP.

[SupremeGuy]

Reggie Miller comparing Kobe's aging to Tim's is a crime against basketball.Belly button tattoo is fucking stupid.

[RD2191]

The Grizz get massive ref help at home so this can't be close going into the 4th.

[spursgu]

Man Splitter really made this matchup

[DeRozan m8]

Memphis playing pretty tight D tbh

[spurtech09]

Offensive foul? Refs up to there old tricks already,,,,

[sasaint]

Reggie Miller comparing Kobe's aging to Tim's is a crime against basketball.

Miller is a notorious Spurs hater. Plus, Reggie invented hero-ball; so he loves Kobe.

[NASpurs]

Wow Aldridge that was trash.

[SupremeGuy]

Stop posting.Are you watching the game you fucking idiot? He's sucking more dick than your dad.

[loveforthegame]

LMA what was that!

[spurtech09]

What is LMA doing?lol

[Kawhitstorm]

LMA:lmao

[SpurPadre]

There's Manu, TNT, the other aging superstar you failed to mention.

[TDfan2007]

*sigh* Lamarcus...

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!!!!

[8FOR!3]

Danny Green looks fucking awful. Kawhi seems to be really trying to force stuff.

[spurtech09]

Crazy Duncan at is age can score but a young LMA is struggling...

[NASpurs]

:lmao Parker

[Venti Quattro]

:lmao Conley cucking Porker

[loveforthegame]

Poor Parker. Ouch.

[EVAY]

Is LMA on the floor?

Yes he is 0 for 3

[RD2191]

Geezus tony

[Fireball]

Grizz defense is the real shit ... not one easy shot for the Spurs

[Kawhitstorm]

Need D-West to sumo wrestle Z-Bo

[RD2191]

Yes he is 0 for 3
Dude is invisible out there.

[BatManu20]

Put that in Bobo!

[Arcadian]

:lol Fucking Parker...he had Duncan trailing right behind.

[TDfan2007]

Conley destroying TP's shot...

[TheGreatYacht]

Holy fuck Conley...... That spin is unstoppable

You cock sucker

[Kawhitstorm]

Bobo posting up Z-Bo & the slow motion spin move:lmao

[Keepin' it real]

"Oh noes!!! We're losing by 5 points. All hope is lost!" -- spurstalk

[spurtech09]

I already know its not going to be a good night tonight.....

[spursgu]

Spurs playing some terrible basketball.

[atoyotagaspedal]

sorry ass team...

[EVAY]

We are getting killed on the boards, seems like a pattern against Memphis.

[RD2191]

Oh for fucks sake.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Man, Spurs defense getting exposed

[ElNono]

:lol this offense

[TDfan2007]

This has been an embarrassing start. Nobody except for Timmy and Tony are playing worth a damn.

[loveforthegame]

Ugly. So ugly.

[NASpurs]

:lol Manure

[SAGirl]

Wow we are pathetic lol
:wow

[BatManu20]

Spurs look disinterested tbh. Might be a good game to rest guys if Memphis' lead balloons in the 3rd

[EVAY]

Spurs playing some terrible basketball.


And we are only 5 points down...there is hope.

[DeRozan m8]

Yeah this is the game we need West to smack down

Maybe Boban too

[ElNono]

luckily Memphis can't hit shit... amazing its just a 5 point game

[keeferob25]

Manu is already done for the season smh

[RD2191]

Shooting a solid 25% from the field. Not bad.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs cannot beat a decent team.

[spursistan]

LMA getting his ass owned by the Gizz per par..He hasn't shown anything on offense other than p-n-p..

[Keepin' it real]

Are you watching the game you fucking idiot? He's sucking more dick than your dad.

Hello ignore list. Good riddance moron.

[Robz4000]

Bench everyone and waive the white flag. Most of the team is gassed and I really don't want to see a fatigue-caused injury.

[TDfan2007]

Defense has been okay, but man the offense...yikes.

[Horse]

They're gonna sleepwalk till march

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I don't think I've ever seen the Spurs so disinterested. Maybe there's locker room trouble? They just don't seem to care.

[Fireball]

its just bad it always happen on national TV ...

[keeferob25]

And why the hell is Duncan, the oldest player and most worn, the best performer so far on a back to back???

[sasaint]

Yeah this is the game we need West to smack down

Maybe Boban too

Couldn't hurt. Give it a shot.

[boutons_deux]

luckily Memphis can't hit shit... amazing its just a 5 point game

grizz 50%

[Budkin]

Pop gonna wave the white flag early tonight on this b2b

[Hoops Czar]

:lol this offense

:lol chill, it's a long game... push come to shove, we'll get everybody a lot of rest

[xtremesteven33]

Insecure Spurs fans:lol

[spursgu]

Pretty much.

[EVAY]

Spurs have 9 rebounds so far and Parker has 5 of them????

[Ron Swanson]

Slowmo's got this.

[atoyotagaspedal]

just put diaw and west already so we can have a meltdown

[Ditty]

Some dumb comments on here, it's the first quarter calm down :lol

[Hoops Czar]

I don't think I've ever seen the Spurs so disinterested. Maybe there's locker room trouble? They just don't seem to care.

This is what happen when your offense is predictable and you don't close out on defense.

[SpurPadre]

I don't think I've ever seen the Spurs so disinterested. Maybe there's locker room trouble? They just don't seem to care.

??Yeah, LMA is complaining about his lack of shot attempts.

[beirmeistr]

its just bad it always happen on national TV ...

maybe national tv makes them play bad

[Fireball]

Insecure Spurs fans:lol

I am secure we lose ...

[TXstbobcat]

[RD2191]

Manu!

[TDfan2007]

Manu with the old man move lol

[beirmeistr]

manu steal!

[Hoops Czar]

Slowmo's got this.

When he's on the court, the Spurs are essentially playing 4 on 5.

[spurtech09]

LMA needs to do something!!!!!!!!!!!

[sasaint]

They're gonna sleepwalk till march

Can't afford to. If we concede #1 seed in the West to GS, we at least need to have a better record than East winner.

[NASpurs]

Nice pass from Fathead

[RD2191]

KA!

[TXstbobcat]

Manu!!!

[atoyotagaspedal]

anderson had a layup there tbh

[TDfan2007]

Our bench came in to play with heart at least.

wish LMA would be as patient as West
