Game Thread: Spurs vs Grizzlies -- Fri. (3/25) - 7:30PM CST (2:30AM Riga Time)

[turkish spurs fan]

lance doing great work

[Hoops Czar]

Andre Miller has a lot of Tony Parker in him after all.

[r0drig0lac]

lmao simmons

[spursistan]

just shitty defense...lol simmons clowned

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Fucking miss just one, Griz scrubs! :bang

[TXstbobcat]

:lma

[$pursDynasty]

Lance is heating up but at least Simmons appears to be trying on defense unlike Kyle

[sasaint]

lance doing great work

Does anybody think we could rehabilitate him?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Just fucking abysmal communication, no heart, no effort on defense... :pctoss

[TXstbobcat]

Simmons33333333333

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Too. Fucking. Easy. :pctoss

[Hoops Czar]

Andre Miller won't see any playing time in the postseason so it's good he's getting his work out in now.

[ElNono]

:lmao Players like Kyle are playing for their playoff lives out there. He's not making a very good first, second or twenty-third first impression.

:lol he's not very good... that's why he probably won't play a lot in the playoffs

[From Downtown]

SIMMS

[TXstbobcat]

Simmons!!!!!!!

[sasaint]

Simmons!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Too FUCKING easy :bang

[BatManu20]

Smh Barnes

[.G.]

Barnes :lol

[Splits]

Jesus fuck Manu is trash

[Texas_Ranger]

what a fucking joke this defense is... pathetic

[Hoops Czar]

Absolutely embarrassing.

[hater]

Matt Barnes treating every Spur like Kawhi Leonard

[timtonymanu]

Why are we making these Memphis scrubs look like an offensive juggernaut?

[Robz4000]

This is Charlotte all over again, but at least Charlotte was at home and, y'know, good.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Aaaaaaaaaand of course. Pathetic no-heart SA Shits give up an easy layup at the buzzer. On our own court no less. Lead down from 14 to 4, typical pathetic-ass worthless SA Shit scrubs and Poop-a-bitch :pctoss

[Splits]

Why are we making these Memphis scrubs look like an offensive juggernaut?

Manu

[spursistan]

the way we are defending , Memphis is going to reel us in...this is been Hornets game 2.0 after 1st Q...

[SAGirl]

Does anybody think we could rehabilitate him?
I havent watched him in Clippers or Grizz (maybe K-storm has since he watches other teams), don't know how he's been faring personality or basketballwise. Keep in mind this is Simmons he's against, might look very different otherwise.

[$pursDynasty]

Spurs should channel inner Trailblazers and ride the :lma in the 4th

[SpurPadre]

Team needs to get this choking shit out of the way ASAP.

[Splits]

Aaaaaaaaaand of course. Pathetic no-heart SA Shits give up an easy layup at the buzzer. On our own court no less. Lead down from 14 to 4, typical pathetic-ass worthless SA Shit scrubs and Poop-a-bitch :pctoss

I will bet you $200 Spurs win this game

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Why are we making these Memphis scrubs look like an offensive juggernaut?
Because they're playing the Spurs. Even the JV team I played on in HS could look like a decent NBA team against the SA Shits

[ceperez]

Is that the oldest lineup ever? Manu, Miller, West, Duncan??

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I will bet you $200 Spurs win this game
I still think Spurs win, tbh

[hater]

If Kawhi was playing Spurs would be down by 20. At least pop sat him down vs Barnes

[SAGirl]

the way we are defending , Memphis is going to reel us in...this is been Hornets game 2.0 after 1st Q...
Frankly Pop doesn't care, he's just watching. I don't know if he's letting guys sink under their own weight or what. :lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

what a fucking joke this defense is... pathetic
Time to root for the Cavs or something?

[TXstbobcat]

Manu!!!!!

[ElNono]

Manu :worthy:

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Time for Patty to hit a 3 here... OH WAIT

[hater]

Stevenson playing like Jordan :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Lance about to go full Jeremy Lin on the bench crew.:wakeup

[From Downtown]

MANU

[Ron Swanson]

Tony :lol

[loveforthegame]

If we lose this. :pctoss

[ElNono]

Jesus fuck Parker is trash

[Kawhitstorm]

Porker:lmao

[.G.]

I'd love to see Gino get in a fight.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

they keep getting the fucking bounce on our court :bang

[turkish spurs fan]

sth wrong in this game. i m afraid

[hater]

Told u fellas. Avoid this team like the plague

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Barnes is such a whiny faggot.

[From Downtown]

So they can miss too

[SAGirl]

clear foul though

[loveforthegame]

I miss Leonard. :depressed

[$pursDynasty]

Bring in LMA no one else can get their own shot

[ElNono]

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Griz dunking all over Spurs' fans and pride now

[spursistan]

Parker is done tbh..Dude getting checked by Black Ollie :lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Parker is done tbh..Dude getting checked by Black Ollie :lol
Is it too late for them to sign Ralph, too?

[SAGirl]

I miss Leonard. :depressed
Yea someone was saying we are making him look like not the MvP but watch this defense by our wings and you will know, Kawhi is tha real MVP.

[TXstbobcat]

West!!!!!

[ElNono]

Pop is bored too, tbh.. what is this lineup? West and a bunch of scrubs...

[turkish spurs fan]

the atmosphere of the game is like we were eleminated in first stage of playoffs by memphis (1. seed to 8. seed )

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Griz dunking all over Spurs' fans and pride now

[TXstbobcat]

West!!

[SAGirl]

Incredible Matt Barnes, 14, J.Green 20, V.Carter 10, L.Stephenson 14... all wing baskets save J.Green and he did a lot of damage from the midrange which Tim concedes.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Porker...

[024]

Holy shit Martin is absolutely terrible on both ends of the floor

[SouthernFried]

David West's Defense is the worst I have ever seen from a big man....and it's not just been this game.

I love the guy...but, his interior D just sucks

[UNT Eagles 2016]

D-Worst defense... :bang

[SAGirl]

Pop doesnt give 3 f*cks about our home record TBH:lol

[SAGirl]

David West's Defense is the worst I have ever seen from a big man....and it's not just been this game.

I love the guy...but, his interior D just sucks
Been like that all season, nothing new. wTF is this

[spursistan]

Pop aint going back to LMA it seems..he is shutting him down for OKC

[ElNono]

is Tony serious? :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Parker is just having a bad game. I'd finish with Miller at this point

[UNT Eagles 2016]

UGH PORKER

[loveforthegame]

That MVParker led team though.

[$pursDynasty]

Where the hell is :lma is Pop trying to give this game away?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Porker Turnover now? :bang

[Texas_Ranger]

parker go fuck yourself

[SAGirl]

Who called the Ray revenge tour, I know someone did?

[From Downtown]

Parker's been shit tonight

[bklynspursfan]

The next time he hits a three in the playoffs, hell will have frozen over.

He hit 2 last year. If he plays this year, no reason to think he doesn't

[SpurPadre]

OKC is gonna fuck us up the ass tomorrow, tbh.

[james evans]

Parker's been shit tonight
you're surprised?

[spursistan]

I cringe at the thought of two more years of this Parker

[SouthernFried]

Been like that all season, nothing new. wTF is this

Didn't I just say it's not just been this game? Yes...I did. Should I stop commenting on how bad it is?

[PopTheGOAT]

Parker with that pass directly to Stephenson lol

[SAGirl]

Where the hell is :lma is Pop trying to give this game away?
I am afraid so. I don't know. Film to roast this guys? lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Pop doesnt give 3 f*cks about our home record TBH:lol
If we lose, he better pay back the 20,000 or so that came to the game that identify as Spurs fans, for their tickets and time. Every single one of them, out of his own coffers. Or else I'll never be a Spurs fan again after tonight.

[objective]

Where the hell is Boban? He changes games, energizes the crowd, and they have no one who can stop him.

[Spurtacular]

Parker throwing a bounce pass with no muster instead of zipping the ball to the guy for the dunk. Fucking scrub.

[K...]

Who called the Ray revenge tour, I know someone did?

me

[james evans]

i think pop is trying to throw the game so the pressure is off of us to finish undefeated at home.

[SAGirl]

Didn't I just say it's not just been this game? Yes...I did. Should I stop commenting on how bad it is?
Nah, probably restating the obvious, or agreeing with you, or being redundant. :toast It amazes me Pop's just letting it go but what the heck.

[SAGirl]

me
he still has time. I am afraid. :lol

[ElNono]

nice Manu

[bklynspursfan]

Pop wants this game... Put in Miller, now calling for LMA to get the ball

[.G.]

D-League shit right here.

[TXstbobcat]

LMA!!!!!!

[ElNono]

Manu is gonna win us this game, tbh

[pad300]

If we lose, he better pay back the 20,000 or so that came to the game that identify as Spurs fans, for their tickets and time. Every single one of them, out of his own coffers. Or else I'll never be a Spurs fan again after tonight.

If this means that you will go away, and I never have to see you whine again, it's worth losing the home winning streak.

[TheGreatYacht]

Easily the best scorer on the team

LMAlpha

[Ron Swanson]

:lma

[Kawhitstorm]

Simmons getting blocked on a dunk.....yet again:sleep

[K...]

POP should get thrown out and let becky coach since this a summer league + tosb kind of game

[bklynspursfan]

fwiw, they've only scored 8 points this quarter. sure we only have 10... but at least there's that. cause defense kinda matters

[Obstructed_View]

If this means that you will go away, and I never have to see you whine again, it's worth losing the home winning streak.

Seconded.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Vince Carter, you're a cuntdick and you've always been that. :ihit

[spursistan]

Manu making things happen....once more he is going to be needed to save us from Porker per fucking par

[SpurPadre]

Get your 40 and get us this win LMA.

[Pauleta14]

Where the hell is Boban? He changes games, energizes the crowd, and they have no one who can stop him.

[SAGirl]

LMA bringing us home. :lma

[UNT Eagles 2016]

If this means that you will go away, and I never have to see you whine again, it's worth losing the home winning streak.
:stfu

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Simmons is a one-trick pony and his one trick ain't even working all too well anymore.

[TheGreatYacht]

Manu allowing Carter and Stephenson to have throwback games :pctoss:

[Strategic]

Watching game with Memphis play by play announcers. They suck

[pad300]

:stfu

That's exactly what you need to do, forever!

[ElNono]

fuck man... give it to Manu and clear out.... wtf are they doing?

[bklynspursfan]

If this means that you will go away, and I never have to see you whine again, it's worth losing the home winning streak.

ignore list works wonders on here for me... lots of nonsense on here lol

[SpurPadre]

Why does birdfucker always give us problems?

[Ron Swanson]

If this means that you will go away, and I never have to see you whine again, it's worth losing the home winning streak.

why? They are pretty realistic and fair i think

[From Downtown]

Manu allowing Carter and Stephenson to have throwback games :pctoss:
Manu was on Barnes when Stephenson went off in the 3rd tbh

Manu passing on the nut job

[SAGirl]

OKC is gonna fuck us up the ass tomorrow, tbh.
Frankly yes, it will be all sorts of ugly. I don't know if we are playing Kawhi at all or not.

[From Downtown]

MANUUUUUUUU

[TheGreatYacht]

4 on 5 :lol if Manure missed that..

[K...]

did Manu Anderson Stephenson?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

:lol Lance Stephenson
:lol "Born Ready"
:lol dumb faggot
:lol dumbass Grizzlies for not fouling

[FaM0us Skins]

Manu!

[From Downtown]

Don't think that was a foul tbh

[Spurtacular]

That is exactly why every team gets rid of Lance Stephenson. Bitch lays down while the other team puts in the dagger.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

4 on 5 :lol if Manure missed that..
if he missed that, Stephenson quits his acting job and gets a layup.

[SAGirl]

Thankfully Manu had it going tonight TBH and I am glad he got his confidence back.

[ElNono]

4 on 5 :lol if Manure missed that..

:lol I'm sure we'll hear you...

[sasaint]

5 on 4... if that's what it takes

Frankly, I breathed a real sigh of relief when Manu's trey went in. :toast

[SpurPadre]

Frankly yes, it will be all sorts of ugly. I don't know if we are playing Kawhi at all or not.

Even if the Dubs lose tonight, Pop will still likely sit him for another game.

[ElNono]

Damn, great contest Manu... he's everywhere

[Texas_Ranger]

where the fuck do the Memphis announcers see the foul there. retards.

[turkish spurs fan]

manu is the best ever to watch

[ElNono]

Manu to KMart!

[K...]

For real, Manu did foul steph.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

A whole lot of brick laying for the Grizzlies this quarter.

[TXstbobcat]

Kmart3333333333333

[Ron Swanson]

KMart!

[SAGirl]

Don't think that was a foul tbh
Manu was with feet in the restricted area. I think it was, but who cares?

Don't want anyone injured though, that shit backfires.

[FaM0us Skins]

K-Mart!

[ElNono]

Manu is gonna win us this game, tbh

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Another Manu Tres.

[ElNono]

:lmao Manu haters

[Ron Swanson]

Manu!!!!!!!

[FaM0us Skins]

15-4 run

[From Downtown]

Manu came to play in the 4th tonight

[TheGreatYacht]

Fat head provided nothing in 30 minutes... Invisible stats. Per36 wasn't lying, the guy is useless

[SpurPadre]

Thankfully Manu had it going tonight TBH and I am glad he got his confidence back.

He hurt his own confidence by saying he wouldn't score 20 again.

[K...]

MANU FAN ALL HAPPY WHEN IT"S C:LEAR THE GRIZZLES QUIT, shameless stat padding

[TheGreatYacht]

Manure turnover foh

[SAGirl]

Bonner got this.

[Obstructed_View]

15-4 run

The Spurs were up by like 2 when I turned it on. Glad to be good luck for a freakin' change. :)

[TXstbobcat]

Simmons!!!!!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

This reminds me so much of Game 1 in the 2014 Finals, tbh... pussy bitch goes down on one end, we hit a bunch of 3s on the other and put the game away :lmao

[spursistan]

take Manu off the court Pop ..

[Uriel]

The great thing about this team is that you blink and a one-possession game is suddenly a 15-point blowout.

[FaM0us Skins]

Simmons!

[bklynspursfan]

Simmons/Martin have played well tonight. Simmons was a much needed spark

[ElNono]

great win... good thing Tony is resting the next two games, tbh

[Robz4000]

Game not over anymore

[TheGreatYacht]

Manure led team :lol

Get MVParker back out there

[FaM0us Skins]

Wow

[SpurPadre]

MANU FAN ALL HAPPY WHEN IT"S C:LEAR THE GRIZZLES QUIT, shameless stat padding

Pay your respects to the HOF and one of the best Spurs players of all time.

[bklynspursfan]

just messing up our point differential at this point... that record is still up for grabs

[SAGirl]

Don't know what to tell you on Simms, he shows flashes, but then gives up open 3 after open 3.

[Robz4000]

The great thing about this team is that you blink and a one-possession game is suddenly a 15-point blowout.

Goes the other way too tbh.

[Obstructed_View]

Matt Bonner missed. Game must not be out of reach yet.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

of course, Poop keeps the game close and the players slack off and now they're over 100, :pctoss :pctoss

[vander]

memphis announcers just can't stop talking about that "manu foul" :lol

[FaM0us Skins]

Farmar is messing up our point differential

[Obstructed_View]

Don't know what to tell you on Simms, he shows flashes, but then gives up open 3 after open 3.

Doesn't put his hands up on defense and bites on every fake. Drives me nuts.

[Kawhitstorm]

Why is Andre not in the game to bring up the ball?

Simmons?:downspin:

[spursistan]

That ballhaNdling by Simmons :lol

[SAGirl]

The great thing about this team is that you blink and a one-possession game is suddenly a 15-point blowout.
You mean our 15 blowout became a close game? :downspin:

[ElNono]

Manu assisted or scored in all baskets of the Spurs 15-4 run... :wow

:worthy:

[UNT Eagles 2016]

where the fuck do the Memphis announcers see the foul there. retards.
they're cuntdicks, that's why

[Obstructed_View]

That ballhaNdling by Simmons :lol

Shoehorning a player into a role works sometimes, but only if the player has aptitude for it.

[Budkin]

:lol Stephenson foul

[SAGirl]

Why is Andre not in the game to bring up the ball?

Simmons?:downspin:
Test game for him maybe?

[bklynspursfan]

Don't know what to tell you on Simms, he shows flashes, but then gives up open 3 after open 3.

Simmons/Anderson/ and to a lesser extent Boban (due to lack of meaningful mins) all show flashes, and all have lapses that hurt at times. They aren't trained/programmed like some of our other guys just yet. Simmons came in tonight and provided a nice spark on both ends while Kyle struggled. I think it's just being lazy cause the game is over in their minds.

That won't sit well with Pop though, so he's got to learn from it and be focused

[Obstructed_View]

You mean our 15 blowout became a close game? :downspin:

This is why people accuse Pop of intentionally trying to lose games.

[Hoops Czar]

Manu assisted or scored in all baskets of the Spurs 15-4 run... :wow

:worthy:

I thought LMA assisted on Kevin Martin's three?

[Budkin]

:lol this ending

[ElNono]

I thought LMA assisted on Kevin Martin's three?

Aldridge Jump Shot: Made (32 PTS) Assist: Ginobili (4 AST)
Ginobili 3pt Shot: Made (10 PTS) Assist: Martin (2 AST)
Martin 3pt Shot: Made (13 PTS) Assist: Ginobili (5 AST)
Ginobili 3pt Shot: Made (13 PTS) Assist: Aldridge (1 AST)

[SAGirl]

That contest on that 3 by Kyle was spectacular TBH. say wahtever you want. that was a spectacular defensive run on transition on 4 guys then contesting that 3.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

memphis announcers just can't stop talking about that "manu foul" :lol
http://sportsblogs.star-telegram.com/.a/6a00e54f7fc4c5883301a73dacc171970d-pi


One of the more memorable moments in Spurs history, tbh

[TXstbobcat]

:flag:

[TheGreatYacht]

24... 6 points 3 rebounds 0 assists

A game on par with Fat Head's career so far, useless

[Obstructed_View]

Bolo ties for Patty and Boris?

[Hoops Czar]

Aldridge Jump Shot: Made (32 PTS) Assist: Ginobili (4 AST)
Ginobili 3pt Shot: Made (10 PTS) Assist: Martin (2 AST)
Martin 3pt Shot: Made (13 PTS) Assist: Ginobili (5 AST)
Ginobili 3pt Shot: Made (13 PTS) Assist: Aldridge (1 AST)


:wow

[FaM0us Skins]

:flag:

[TheCultOfPersonality]

So the only players in this game that shot below 50% from the field are Ray MacCallum, Kevin Martin, Tony Parker, and Matt Bonner.

[024]

Grizzlies announcers too salty

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Bad win, but better than a loss. 61-11 isn't bad, should have beaten the Bobcats though.

[From Downtown]

Streak still going

[Dro210]

Spurs wanted me to win some money tonight, and then Pop was like, "Nah, have some Bonner and Ginobili at PG" :lol

[SAGirl]

Welp! We survived that. Pop testing Simmons IMO. Showed flashes, and we survived. That wasn't easy for him. He had a lot of pressure.
Glad we kept our record.
:flag:

No meltdown over pt deferential or anything. I am glad Manu got his confidence and shot back and some guys got minutes who haven't played much lately.
:lma showed up!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

That's exactly what you need to do, forever!
http://s.lurkmore.to/images/8/8c/No_u_lovecraftian.jpg

[SpurPadre]

If Pop is insistent on throwing tomorrow's game, he might as well sit LMA and start Boban. I'm sure LMA won't have fun getting 5 fouls called on him in the first half, anyways.

[Obstructed_View]

If Pop is insistent on throwing tomorrow's game, he might as well sit LMA and start Boban. I'm sure LMA won't have fun getting 5 fouls called on him in the first half, anyways.

Pop's not going to play Boban because he doesn't want to have to compete with other teams to pay him.

[Budkin]

Spurs building dat chicken coop.

[Budkin]

Grizzlies announcers too salty

They're still pissed about 2013.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Pop's not going to play Boban because he doesn't want to have to compete with other teams to pay him.
That's always been my philosophy.

[Kawhitstorm]

Frankly yes, it will be all sorts of ugly. I don't know if we are playing Kawhi at all or not.

I doubt Kawhi plays on the road trip, I'm not even sure if LMA plays against OKC. D-West might get the start along w/ Boban & K-Mart/Miller will be asked to be play-makers.:lol

I'm excited to see Simmons guarding Westbrook though & sadden about Kyle having to guard Durant.:lol

[SpurPadre]

Pop's not going to play Boban because he doesn't want to have to compete with other teams to pay him.

Yeah, well in that case, then start Ginger, I guess...

Simmons may have stolen some playing time back from Fathead, whose Defense was putrid, and KMart whose head wasn't in the game

Frankly its too tragic IMO.
I am laughing at home bc it can be so demoralizing I hope he's ready to toughen up his spirit for a long night.

I will watch it just bc, frankly part of what I enjoy watching in bball is young players evolve.

[Agloco]

:lol What a shitfest that was.

At least we bothered to win it.

[beirmeistr]

Sadly, Westbrook will make Simmons his bitch. The only hope is that he shoots himself out in the fourth quarter. We will lose by 20 and give them false hope for round 2.

[SAGirl]

Simmons may have stolen some playing time back from Fathead, whose Defense was putrid, and KMart whose head wasn't in the game
He wasn't that terrific on D either. I think they all struggled and were lazy or had lapses at times. But they will get another chance against OKC. Frankly I have not ever been on this Anderson vs Simmons. I think both guys will probably play together very well and are both trying to get better on different paths.

[Kawhitstorm]

Sadly, Westbrook will make Simmons his bitch. The only hope is that he shoots himself out in the fourth quarter. We will lose by 20 and give them false hope for round 2.

WestBrick is going to hijack OKC's offense trying to go at Simmons when he's hounding him full-court like Curry. That's what Patrick Beverely did & it worked in the Rockets favor.:lol

[DPG21920]

We learned you can absolutely not have Simmons handling the ball. Blood was in the water when he had it and Lance freaking Stephenson was giving him the full court pressure business. Stripped him a couple times or forced bad passes.

[SAGirl]

Yes, I don't know if you saw my review of his last dleague game in the "Thinktank" section. His bad handles really limit him, bc he otherwise has terrific athleticism and elite first step, and also he has a very nice court vision. Even in the dleague you can see it, he hasn't been playing well over there, but you can see flashes of his passes and his PnR. It's just very risky, he's been having the 5 TO games, and many other times he just looses the handle and has to pass out to reset, so its the 5 TO + the other times he didn't quite TO but almost.

I am sure Pop doesn't have time like me to watch him :lol so of course he had to test out if he improved any in the dleague.

I am really rooting for him, I really like him, but his handles is one thing that I don't know if he can improve at his age. He's quite old. Look at Danny, hasn't improved those handles much lately (although I am sure he was much worse at age 21 or 22 probably). But if we play Danny, he can play, just like you say, have him with a PG Pop please.

[apalisoc_9]

I doubt Kawhi plays on the road trip, I'm not even sure if LMA plays against OKC. D-West might get the start along w/ Boban & K-Mart/Miller will be asked to be play-makers.:lol

Both of them will play, imo. Pop just said kawhi might make the road trip

[bklynspursfan]

Simmons is like Jamal Crawford at handling the rock compared to Green

[Spurtacular]

Who called the Ray revenge tour, I know someone did?

Black Ollie scored 7 points on 3-10 shooting with 1 assist in 20 minutes. Spurs f'd up by not cutting this guy in preseason. It cost them their best shooter. Well, that and Fathead sucking in the preseason and forcing the Spurs to keep Ralph Garbage Time also.

:lol WTF does McCallum have to do with Belinelli leaving? He left like 2 months before...

Black Ollie wasn't RC best scouting moment, but it went unnoticed because he killed it in rest of FA...

I doubt Kawhi plays on the road trip, I'm not even sure if LMA plays against OKC. D-West might get the start along w/ Boban & K-Mart/Miller will be asked to be play-makers.:lol

I'm excited to see Simmons guarding Westbrook though & sadden about Kyle having to guard Durant.:lol

I CALLED IT!:king

Matt Moore said after the game that LMA was overrated defensively, or basically that LMA would be a liability in the playoffs. He's not convinced.

Yes, he left two months before. Thus, the Spurs had a new best shooter. Must suck to fail that bad.

Lol, that cocksucker hates the Spurs. He blocked me from his twitter when I called him on his bullshit.

Have a great time at the game. :toast

Thanks, trying to keep my yearly tradition with my brother alive !

Was excited to see the new players in person. Interesting seeing the big 3, felt like I've seen them all my life growing up.

But after all my remenisicng of history in that building, I noticed a pretty entertaining game break out.

I thought Dave joerger did a great job of game planning because Memphis played extremely tough. (We were trying to predict, as was the forum, which random ex spur will torch us, Damn jamychael!

Plus, pop ended up giving Boban some burn, yay!

I didn't like the whole you can't enter without a premium pass until 6:30, but it wasn't that big of an inconvenience. All in all had a great time, and in glad the spurs were able to avenge the home loss to Memphis last time I saw them.

GSG!
