Game Thread: Spurs vs Grizzlies -- Game 2 - Tue. (4/19) - 8:30PM CST (4:30AM Riga)

[Perry Mason]

Timmay killin' their ball pressure w/ the outlet passes:lol

This. The announcers miss what Timmy is doing and how effective and intelligent a counter it is. His isos may be weak but Timmy gets it done.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Most of this team looks pretty bad right now. Gonna have to play much much much better to beat OKC, let alone compete with the Warriors.

[TXstbobcat]

:bobo

[PopTheGOAT]

Kawhi needs to not go 7-8 minutes without an attempt to prevent a cold spell

[Silver&Black]

More of that please...

:bobo

[Chris]

Duncan block :tu

[spursistan]

Kawhi was making all those in Feb/early March :bang

[sasaint]

Awww hell. I've been listening to Reggie Miller for no reason? Thanks for telling me.

Game 1 I listened to Reggie for an entire half before I came to my senses. :lol

[PopTheGOAT]

Kawhi needs to not go 7-8 minutes without an attempt to prevent a cold spell

[Ron Swanson]

[TheDoctor]

How Kawhi grabbed that?

[EVAY]

Maybe that will get Kawhi uncorked.

[PopTheGOAT]

:lol Barnes

[TheDoctor]

LMA rebounding like a a Beast

[PopTheGOAT]

my god, kawhi

[Kawhitstorm]

K-Mart's shots seemingly ALWAYS pop out when he misses:bang

[Silver&Black]

Gotdamnit....I really wanted that Kawhi shot to fall.

Sick move.

[GSH]

Kawhi ankle-breaker, but just can't get a shot to fall.

[TheDoctor]

Damn Kawhi

[Chris]

Grizzlies flopping everywhere is hilarious

[atoyotagaspedal]

Wow great sell Z-Bo

[PopTheGOAT]

[bklynspursfan]

Martin! He is gonna help our 2nd unit for sure... Can shoot and drive the ball

[01Snake]

Which one of you is this tbh.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=107&v=P2lKIYZ0d_U

Looks like this kid is there again. haha

[Spurs9]

Martin looking excellent

[Silver&Black]

When you've got the hammer...you've got to drop it.

:wow

[TheDoctor]

KMart earning more and more Danny's mins. Not as good defender but 3>2

[Silver&Black]

Spurefs, tbh.

#HomeCooking

[atoyotagaspedal]

weird call

[TheGreatYacht]

JaMychal... The one that got away :(

[PopTheGOAT]

Spurefs, tbh.

#HomeCooking

[timtonymanu]

KMart earning more and more Danny's mins. Not as a good defender but 3>2

Not really. We're only playing the Grizzlies.

[Perry Mason]

When he moves well, TP still has an elite drive and kick game. Great assist to Kmart.

[TDfan2007]

:lol Memphis is getting absolutely destroyed by the refs tonight

[PopTheGOAT]

KMart earning more and more Danny's mins. Not as good defender but 3>2
but Danny hits thre...oh nvm

[TheDoctor]

Not really. We're only playing the Grizzlies.
I'm talking about this Series. Spurs not playing another team for another week or so.

[Juan]

Martin opens up the offense a little bit more. Pop is going to have to play offense/defense with him and Green all playoff. Nice to see Maetin get in there and play aggressive though. Props to him.

[beirmeistr]

:lol Memphis is getting absolutely destroyed by the refs tonight

euthenasia

[TDomination]

Wow even I'm noticing how bad the refs have been for the grizz

[PopTheGOAT]

When he moves well, TP still has an elite drive and kick game. Great assist to Kmart.
NBA foaming at the mouth for Spurs Warriors, tbh

[TXstbobcat]

:claw

[PopTheGOAT]

efficient shot for KL

[Ron Swanson]

:claw

[Chris]

:claw

[Mnky]

Kawhi walked that in..

[PopTheGOAT]

damn a whistle.. for the grizz

[sasaint]

Maybe Pop was willing to cut Butler to make room for Martin not just for this year's playoffs but to audition him for next season?

[TheDoctor]

Make up call

[loveforthegame]

Leonard needs to keep attacking. He can get the jumper any time.

[Chris]

gj Farmar :tu

[PopTheGOAT]

parker walking to the ball smh

[Ron Swanson]

Farmar T'd up

[Capt Bringdown]

Remember when Randolph was the shitting all over the Spurs? How DID that happen?

[Silver&Black]

Spurefs, tbh.

#HomeCooking

[TheDoctor]

#Spursrefs:lol

[atoyotagaspedal]

Of course the only time the refs favor us, it's against a fucking shit team

[Chris]

Remember when Randolph was the shitting all over the Spurs? How DID that happen?

Mike Conley & Gasol Jr. spoon feeding him easy looks

[SpurPadre]

So, according to the Harlan and Miller, the Spurs have gotten away with 500 calls in the first half and ZBO should have 80 FTA.

[PopTheGOAT]

TP with the lil croissant

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!!!

[PopTheGOAT]

damn jamychal

[random21]

Spurs have gotten away with a lot of non-calls, but this won't happen next round or vs the warriors....

[Chris]

#Spursrefs:lol

http://i68.tinypic.com/2ir9ruv.gif

[Mnky]

JaMychal... The one that got away :(

[apalisoc_9]

I feel bad for Z-bo. 4 teamed in the post because no one can shoot for memphis :lol

[$pursDynasty]

JayMychal still mad that we let him go but kept Austin Daye and Bonner

[Mugen]

Nice putback by JaMychal. Wonder why we cut him tbh.

https://sam4tr.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/bigred.jpg

[Kawhitstorm]

CIA Pop using the series to get K-Mart acclimated w/ the rotation players:wow

[TDfan2007]

is this what thunder fans and warriors fans experience every every game? Kinda awkward, tbh

[PopTheGOAT]

tf is tony doing

[DarrinS]

Spurs have gotten away with a lot of non-calls, but this won't happen next round or vs the warriors....

Wouldn't be the next round

Edit>. My bad, reading fail

[TheDoctor]

Fuck you Tony

[PopTheGOAT]

mf'er kawhi

[Kawhitstorm]

I feel bad for Z-bo. 4 teamed in the post because no one can shoot for memphis :lol

Repeat of 2013, tbh:lol

[steeledl]

The fuck Kawhi.....

[PopTheGOAT]

Wouldn't be the next round
hence the "or" im guessing

[TheDoctor]

Gtfo Kawhi

[Robz4000]

Jesus fucking Christ this team is retarded

[Mugen]

:lol Kawhi should have his DPOY rescinded for fouling Tony Allen on a 3pter tbh

[loveforthegame]

Dumb foul by Kawhi.

[EVAY]

Well, if you're gonna foul a three point shooter, might as well be Tony Allen, I guess

[Fireball]

Leonard with the Danny Green like brainfart ...

[PopTheGOAT]

what a shitty end to the half

[loveforthegame]

These brain fart's are embarrassing.

[spursistan]

kawhi with dumb 3 sequences to end to quarter..need to settle in..

[TDomination]

is this what thunder fans and warriors fans experience every every game? Kinda awkward, tbh
Lol I know right. I'm not used to it

[TheGreatYacht]

If this doesn't raise the ratings, don't know what will tbh

[TheDoctor]

:bang

[Kawhitstorm]

What a shitty end of 2nd quarter:lol

[SAGirl]

Gotta love it...

#HomeCooking


Of course the only time the refs favor us, it's against a fucking shit team
I am kind of thinking bad karma... :rolleyes
We will be on the other end of these calls at some point.

[01Snake]

Bad ending

[Ron Swanson]

Boban guarding the inbounds pass. :lol

[PopTheGOAT]

such a frustrating 14 pt lead

[SpurPadre]

Nice putback by JaMychal. Wonder why we cut him tbh.

https://sam4tr.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/bigred.jpg

Precisely because of that putback. Don't you know we don't do dunks?

[Mugen]

:lol there goes Danny's 3pt percentage

[Kawhitstorm]

Boban guarding the inbounder:lmao

[Chris]

More minutes for Boban :hungry:

[timtonymanu]

Yawn. As long as we get the W though.

[Mugen]

It's hard to keep up the intensity against a D-League team tbh.

[loveforthegame]

I think Pop will have a few words for the team at half.

I expect a more focused 2nd half.

[Silver&Black]

6 quarters played so far...

Spurs- 6
Grizz- 0

Spurs lead by 14 at the half.

http://i.imgur.com/xdHF64I.png

[TheDoctor]

I am kind of thinking bad karma... :rolleyes
We will be on the other end of these calls at some point.
At some point? You mean like our normal games? We used to it already.

[sasaint]

:lol Kawhi should have his DPOY rescinded for fouling Tony Allen on a 3pter tbh

RECOUNT! :lmao

[cutewizard]

Yyes

[cutewizard]

:bobo

[EVAY]

KL with three fouls and 30% shooting. I expect his second half will bring his numbers back to their normal averages

[cutewizard]

Leonard dpoy

[BillMc]

6 quarters played so far...

Spurs- 6
Grizz- 0

Spurs lead by 14 at the half.

http://i.imgur.com/xdHF64I.png

Timmy hasn't taken a shot and I'm fine with that. His defense has been exceptional.

[beirmeistr]

bench with 27 points

[SAGirl]

At some point? You mean like our normal games? We used to it already.
Lol more of a superstitious remark. But yeah.we are pretty used to it and it's cooked us at times. Hopefully it doesn't TBH.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

I didn't realize that Kawhi had 3 personal fouls. Damn.

[TheDoctor]

I thought Barnes was gonna hit Boban in the face. "Just watch how I get rid of this Giant".

[LakerHater]

Nice putback by JaMychal. Wonder why we cut him tbh.

https://sam4tr.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/bigred.jpgthat right there, is TRULY a hangover cure!!!

[cutewizard]

As long as we win....

[cutewizard]

Nice burn by martin

[sasaint]

Timmy hasn't taken a shot and I'm fine with that. His defense has been exceptional.

+3 assists. And his outlet passes have been superb, as Kawhistorm noted.

[cutewizard]

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnuuuuu lead the way

[cutewizard]

Curry is dead lol

[cutewizard]

Also diaw is taking it easy

[Robz4000]

Prolly the best thing Chuck ever says.

GIIIIINOOOOOBIIIIILIIIIIIII

[cutewizard]

Hope Houston wins game 3

[TheDoctor]

I didn't realize that Kawhi had 3 personal fouls. Damn.
First two were situational, guarding hard, but the last one? :bang

[DarrinS]

Still enjoy the THT crew

[DAF86]

What a shitty end of 2nd quarter:lol

I wanna believe that if this wasn't the Grizzlies, Pop would have gone with Patty and Manu instead of Tony and Martin.

[cutewizard]

Prolly the best thing Chuck ever says.

GIIIIINOOOOOBIIIIILIIIIIIII
:bobo

[steeledl]

Hope Kobe joins the TNT squad.... Dude is gold.

[BillMc]

+3 assists. And his outlet passes have been superb, as Kawhistorm noted.

:toastAll true. But watch the idiot media make a big deal about his "decline" if he doesn't score this game.

[cutewizard]

LMA seems ok

[rastaspur]

Chuck is sporting way too much make up tonight. Looks like a bald ms. Potato head.

[TheDoctor]

Timmy hasn't taken a shot and I'm fine with that. His defense has been exceptional.
He's trying but he's too slow nowadays. Getting stripped 90% of the time he drives to the paint.

[Keepin' it real]

Wake me up for round 2.

:sleep

[TheGreatYacht]

Hope Kobe joins the TNT squad.... Dude is gold.
You accidently added a g to "old"

[BillMc]

He's trying but he's too slow nowadays. Getting stripped 90% of the time he drives to the paint.

Still fast enough to defend though.

[cutewizard]

Kobe against chuck lol

[cutewizard]

Here we go

[BillMc]

You accidently added a g to "old"
:lol

[cutewizard]

Go Spppppppppuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrsss as go

[SAGirl]

CIA Pop using the series to get K-Mart acclimated w/ the rotation players:wow
We won't survive with a 3 wing rotation all the way through TBH. I made the issue with Anderson but it doesn't matter if it's Martin. Just 3 guys with Manu on minutes restrictions is not going to get us all the way through. Pop has to get other guys worked in somehow.

[rastaspur]

Kobe against chuck lol

Chuck gonna go prince on him with all that makeup on. Hope he serves him some pancakes afterwards

[sasaint]

:toastAll true. But watch the idiot media make a big deal about his "decline" if he doesn't score this game.

As long as he is healthy, he knows how to handle the decline and channel his energy into aspects of the game other than scoring.

[TheDoctor]

Still fast enough to defend though.
Yeah, as long as other the teams have ZBos, Collisons and Boguts.

[BillMc]

Martin auditioning to be the backup 2 next year if Manu goes. Big drop in playmaking even if Martin gets his shot back.

[cutewizard]

Get loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SAGirl]

Hope Houston wins game 3
I was hoping they won one just to make GSW work but they were horrible last night. Frankly this Grizz team is better than the Rockets.

[cutewizard]

Martin can score tho

[Silver&Black]

Also diaw is taking it easy

Coasting. Non-Issue.

[GSH]

I didn't realize that Kawhi had 3 personal fouls. Damn.


Yeah, I keep reading the comments about the calls being totally one-sided, and I'm wondering if my TV is broken.

That first call they started bitching about, Z-Bo had shoved off LMA shamelessly to get space to take that pass to begin with. Stuck a hand in his chest and fully extended. If i'd had a whistle, the play never would have gotten far enough for Randolph to shoot.

Plenty of contact being allowed on both sides.

[Silver&Black]

Two terrible shots to start the half...

[TheDoctor]

Pop, please, sit Danny.

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!

[01Snake]

The little kid is doing the dabbing crap again. LOL

[GSH]

We won't survive with a 3 wing rotation all the way through TBH. I made the issue with Anderson but it doesn't matter if it's Martin. Just 3 guys with Manu on minutes restrictions is not going to get us all the way through. Pop has to get other guys worked in somehow.


Heh... that's what I was saying. He's hard-headed.

[TheGreatYacht]

This is a really bad crowd. Atlanta's was louder :/

[TheDoctor]

MVParker looks ready

[cutewizard]

Parker

[rastaspur]

Jordan farmer makes James harden look like a lock down defender

[TheDoctor]

This is a really bad crowd. Atlanta's was louder :/
They asleep.

[TXstbobcat]

Verde333333333333

[Ron Swanson]

LDN

[GSH]

It always helps Danny when the pass is on target and he can step into the shot. Tim stuck it in his hands.

[rastaspur]

Vice Carter is feeling like the man again. Having a kobe moment. Delusions of grandeur

[loveforthegame]

Green. :bang

[steeledl]

Defense lazy

[rastaspur]

Wonder how much the birdman has shelled out for his tats over the years. I'm guessing more than most make a year

[apalisoc_9]

Whats up with the two man game of Danny Green and Tim :lol

[DarrinS]

It always helps Danny when the pass is on target and he can step into the shot. Tim stuck it in his hands.

[Robz4000]

Spurs just can't string together more than two minutes of great play these days. Gonna be the death knell of the team in the next round.

[GSH]

Aldridge had 6 points in the first 4 minutes of the game. Now he has 6 points. Shit.

[DarrinS]

Defense lazy

Playing a wounded animal --dangerous

[beirmeistr]

Wonder how much the birdman has shelled out for his tats over the years. I'm guessing more than most make a year

thought he got them for free in jail

[Horse]

Pop should tell these fucks he's not calling another timeout handle your business

[GSH]

Wonder how much the birdman has shelled out for his tats over the years. I'm guessing more than most make a year


Yeah, we were laughing last game. He's got to be depressed, because he's almost out of skin.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard needs to be more selfish.

[EVAY]

Defense lazy

I've noticed that too, and have a slight concern that, rather than Memphis being a nice "practice" set of games for the Spurs, they get so bored they get into sloppy habits that are relatively unpunished now but won't be in the next round.

I also worry, though, that if Memphis continues to be embarrassed by us they are going to get more and more frustrated and end up lashing out at one or more of our guys.

I remember before the first game everyone on the board was saying that our primary goal was just to win with everybody staying healthy. Not so much once the games are going.

[rastaspur]

thought he got them for free in jail

Jail tats are typically blue or black ink. You ask for a tattoo with every color in the rainbow and someone's making you their bitch that very same night

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi impersonating Fathead out there.

Good take. :toast

[TheDoctor]

LMA's automatic

[TXstbobcat]

LMA!!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Det hustle by Danny

[Robz4000]

Verde imo

[loveforthegame]

Green hustle. :tu

[steeledl]

Good shit Danny . A

[Mugen]

LDN & LMA

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Nicely done Green!

[GSH]

Good effort from Danny there. We need more of that.

[SpurPadre]

LDN doing LDN things.

[hitmanyr2k]

That break was ripe for a Ginobili behind the back pass to LMA for the dunk.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

WTF Barnes

[TheDoctor]

Baynes memories.

[cutewizard]

God I'm sleepy

[PopTheGOAT]

WTF Barnes
good foul, tbh

[cutewizard]

Effort by Green

[SAGirl]

Heh... that's what I was saying. He's hard-headed.
:tu
That you did and you also mentioned a kind of platoon for the 10th man.

[cutewizard]

Fuck Matt barnes

[SAGirl]

Danny!

[rastaspur]

The biggest positive of this weak first round opponent us that Danny might get the train back on the track. Intensity seems to be there. Here's hoping a hot streak is about to start. If he and patty start clicking it's going to be on like donkey kong.

[TDomination]

I can't wait for the playoffs to begin!

Oh wait

[PopTheGOAT]

Shoot the damn ball KA

[Mugen]

goddamnit fathead

Danny is definitely showing signs! :toast

[GSH]

They're talking about Jamal Crawford winning the 6th Man award. Manu saying he should get the 7th Man award. :lol

BTW - Crawford had more minutes than any Spur except for Kawhi and LMA, and he was pretty close to them.

[TheDoctor]

Da fuck missing layups now. Dunk that ball LMA

[SpurPadre]

Offense can't get into a rhythm.

[TDomination]

LA needs to work on his layup skills

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Andre Miller is in street clothes?

[TheGreatYacht]

Tim, smh

[GSH]

Andre Miller is in street clothes?


Yeah, him and Bonner are inactive.

[timtonymanu]

Lol you can tell this series is boring because this game thread is like a regular season thread.

[spursistan]

blow the game fuckin open first and then go mad scientist Pop..it is frustrating ..

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Yeah, him and Bonner are inactive.


He's eligible to play, right.

[steeledl]

NBA made Barnes a ton more money

[rastaspur]

Put boban in. I'm bored now.

[Ron Swanson]

He's eligible to play, right.

Yes.

[TDomination]

Lol at the miss it guy

[GSH]

He's eligible to play, right.

Yeah, they just have to pick two players to be inactive every game. Only 13 of the 15 can be active.

[SpurPadre]

This is fucking hideous basketball.

[TDomination]

Timmy too unselfish there

[$pursDynasty]

Why is Simmons inactive?

[01Snake]

Fuck! Get it together!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Yeah, they just have to pick two players to be inactive every game. Only 13 of the 15 can be active.

Cool
