Game Thread: Spurs @ Grizzlies -- Mon. (3/28) - 7:00PM CST (2:00AM Riga time)

[BatManu20]

Back at it again tonight as we're in Memphis to face the Griz for the 2nd time in 3 games. Memphis is 41-32 and have lost 6 of their last 8. The Big 3 are all out tonight and Kawhi is listed as Questionable. No reason we shouldn't still beat this depleted Grizzlies team on the road though. No excuses. Let's get it.

:lol

Ots pretty cool how all of the big 3 dont believe in any supreme

[Old School 44]

Gotta hand it to the Grizzlies, when Conley went down, I thought they would mail it in and go full on tank. I do still think they will fall to 7-8, but I'm sure the Clips are hoping they can somehow hang on to 5. Sadly, the lower part of the West is bad compared to prior years, even if the Griz attempt to tank, not sure if the others can surpass them.

[RD2191]

:lol

Ots pretty cool how all of the big 3 dont believe in any supreme
? Why is that cool?

[apalisoc_9]

? Why is that cool?

Just becausw they have similar affiliations and belief. Not saying i believe in what they do.bit its probably one reason why they gel well together and have played together for years. Pop most likely have similar beloefs

[Spur|n|Austin]

? Why is that cool?

Because it shows they have high IQs brah

Yeah, but Tim's not exactly the type of guy to do ironic stuff. I'm also pretty sure that religion came up when he was talking about his mother's death. I don't really care about those guys' private lives. That's why I don't know.

Slomo got an uncanny way of picking pockets.

[Robz4000]

Good shit so far on both ends all things considered. Green needs to stop hesitating on his threes tho.

[gambit1990]

the ball moving without parker, no surprise.

[Kawhitstorm]

Good shit so far on both ends all things considered. Green needs to stop hesitating on his threes tho.

There was a hitch ala Kyle when he shot the 3

[bklynspursfan]

If Danny simply added a little tear drop, similar to what TP does and did so successfully, it would make him sooo much more useful out there, when he can't hit from outside. I love how he fights on defense, but he's got to add a little some to his offensive game. Doesn't need to have CP3 handles, but just a pump fake and a few dribbles into the paint. Something...

[bklynspursfan]

the ball moving without parker, no surprise.

It's moved with him in there too.

[PopTheGOAT]

[Kawhitstorm]

Wow Ryan Hollins really

That bum has hurt a couple of Spurs players in previous seasons:wakeup

[SAGirl]

Kyle passes baby!

[SPURt]

This team with LMA and no big three/Kawhi is still better than D Robs best teams pre-Duncan. Pop definitely tips the scales, but still the bench is deep

[LongtimeSpursFan]

the ball moving without parker, no surprise.


It helps when Kawhi is not on team and Pop not demanding that ball goes through Kawhis hands.

Exactly... He dribbles the ball hard and high, sure... But he got that little hook in the paint down pat and it's been effective once people started running him off the line.

Elite defender. Can guard all posistions.

[Kawhitstorm]

Too bad Grizzlies aren't gonna fall to 7.

Actually VERY possible since they might not win a game the rest of the season. All the Blazers/Rockets/Jazz have to do is go .500 the rest of the way.

[sasaint]

Exactly... He dribbles the ball hard and high, sure... But he got that little hook in the paint down pat and it's been effective once people started running him off the line.

Just think what a legend he'd be if he had figured that out ten years ago. :wow

[SpursFan86]

This team with LMA and no big three/Kawhi is still better than D Robs best teams pre-Duncan. Pop definitely tips the scales, but still the bench is deep

Are you kidding? You think this team with no big 3/Kawhi is winning 55+ games like several of D-Rob's teams?

Or are you talking about LMA's supporting cast excluding the big 3/Kawhi compared to Robinson's supporting cast?

[Kawhitstorm]

Elite defender. Can guard all posistions.

Should be camped at the 3 point line on a last shot situations against the Worriers.

:lol Boban's D on Carter like goddamn that's fucking amazing.

They just upgraded the AT&T Center this past Summer. They won't be building a new arena for 2+ decades.

Too many dos XX before the game.

Are you kidding? You think this team with no big 3/Kawhi is winning 55+ games like several of D-Rob's teams?

Or are you talking about LMA's supporting cast excluding the big 3/Kawhi compared to Robinson's supporting cast?
Yes, I'm talking about supporting cast and coach Pop. I'm also half serious. D Rob barely had a complete starting unit and never a bench. The team with D Rob/TC/Strickland/Anderson/Sean with Larry Brown coaching is probably the exception for me.

[steeledl]

They just upgraded the AT&T Center this past Summer. They won't be building a new arena for 2+ decades.

NBA stadiums don't have that long of a shelf life. 5-10 more years. AT&T will be ancient in a decade.

Can't fool around with Memphis playing at home. We got to buckle down. Having Bonner there doesn't help either. Passes to LMA getting too predictable too.

[steeledl]

Quesulupa is so overrated .

[SPURt]

Dave Joerger really is doing an incredible job missing his best three players for so much of the season. It's amazing Dallas would be on the outside looking in should the playoffs start tonight and Davey nuts over there is going to be in the playoffs.

On this one I agree with you. Absolutely doesn't bring anything.

I'm not able to watch the game tonight. Can anyone tell me why Boban only has two shot attempts in 12 minutes? Is he not getting the ball? Is Memphis doing a good job of keeping him away from the basket and denying entry passes? In other games he's not shy about taking shots when he gets it down low, but maybe he's not taking those shots tonight?

Not necessarily his fault, but it stands out in the box score. Really wish I were watching.
