Game Thread: Spurs @ Grizzlies -- Game 3 - Fri (4/22) - 8:30PM CST (4:30AM Riga Time)

[-21-]

What is Simmons doing on the floor?

[timtonymanu]

I'm very disappointed, even if the Spurs "win" this game. This kind of bullshit play isn't going to cut it against the Dubs, much less OKC.

[FaM0us Skins]

Down by 1

[atoyotagaspedal]

that was a nice fake

[Ron Swanson]

All 3 went after Kawhi. :lol

[DAF86]

Buzzer beater on every quarter. Buzzer beater on the 4th too?

[100%duncan]

:toast

Let's get them this fourth quarter

We should tbh.

[PopTheGOAT]

Screw this game but Patty:wow

[SpurPadre]

Losing to a bunch of fucking cripples.

[TheGreatYacht]

JaMychal...

I made your church, and now Ima burn it

[99 Problems]

Maybe that's their best punch, now to take over.

[Robz4000]

Pop has really regressed as a coach the past two seasons.

[100%duncan]

All 3 went after Kawhi. :lol

Hell my eyes were on kawhi and I was thinking why the fuck isnt he shooting, time's up already :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

What is Simmons doing on the floor?

same shit as anderson. nothing

[Beaverfuzz]

Quit playing like a bunch of pussies. SWEEP THE LEG JOHNNY!

[SPURt]

Well this is not going how I expected

[Darius Bieber]

Damn this is flat out embarrassing by the Spurs.. Memphis is basically a D-League team.... OKC gonna sweep this pathetic team.

[Splits]

Tony needs to sit the 4th

[DAF86]

It means that Patty is a shooting guard who has almost always been paired with Manu in the second squad's line-up. He would bring the ball up and then give it to Manu. Manu would run the offensive sets. Patty is great and I don't want to take away from his contribution, but my point is that his contribution is a fast paced bunny and can get his three point shot off in less than a heartbeat. But when it comes to running the Spurs' rather complicated offensive sets, he really needs to be with a playmaker. He is a shooter, and a good one, for the most part, but the role of point guard is not his strength.

What complicated offensive set can't Patty run? Enlighten me.

[Ice009]

I love the atmosphere in the grind house. I wish the Spurs fans were better. Not sure if it's just the live broadcasts or not, but Spurs home fans seem pathetic at times.

[Mnky]

Matt Barnes needs to be our backup SF, what a warrior

He dribbles well enough to be our backup pg tbh. Sign him to take manus Role. Manu only makes a shot every 3 quarters anyhow.

[TheGreatYacht]

Pop has really regressed as a coach the past two seasons.
Team USA winning bronze now that he's back

[objective]

Refusing to play Boban to protect the feelings of ineffective vets ... Classic.

[Kawhitstorm]

D-Worst can't guard Z-Bo, Pop has to put Tim on him in the 4th quarter.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

At least MEM is trying super hard playing at their absolute best and were only down one lol.
Time to man up and take this last quarter serious

[Horse]

My hope is its just hard to take this injured Memphis team serious.

[SAGirl]

Apparently was on the bench when he got sick. Jamychal Green probably sat in all of the seats on our bench in warmups! :lol
I hope not! Lol
J.Green showing up he's clearly the better player between him and Simms too.

[100%duncan]

RIP to those who bet on the spurs the last 2 games :lol

[FaM0us Skins]

Zbo, Barnes and Carter scored 22 of Memphis' 28 3Q points. Grizz 6 offensive boards in 3Q, 2/3 from distance.

[spursistan]

Pop has really regressed as a coach the past two seasons.
his late season management of the team was atrocious..After that 5-game home stand he started the mass-resting as if we were a finished product.

[keeferob25]

Pop has really regressed as a coach the past two seasons.

Pop is a goat coach but he is pretty bad historically at micro-managing...which isnt really good to begin with in pro basketball. Rick Carlisle towers over Pop and every other coach when it comes to micro-managing. We lack rhythm in large part because pop makes decisions that doesn't allow us to establish or maintain it.

[100%duncan]

Kawhi you fucking pussy

[timtonymanu]

Story of the night with that play

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi mauled and no call.

[TXstbobcat]

:claw

[TheGreatYacht]

Anderson you pussy

[100%duncan]

ayt nvm

[99 Problems]

:claw

[loveforthegame]

Kawhi mauled and no call.

Story the entire season.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[-21-]

D-Worst can't guard Z-Bo, Pop has to put Tim on him in the 4th quarter.
We actually get to see the starters play in the 4th this time.

[tholdren]

anderson is terrible

[Splits]

Kawhi fucking mugged in the lane

[PopTheGOAT]

It's cuz the games on BSPN tbh

[PopTheGOAT]

Kawhi fucking mugged in the lane
No kidding

[Ice009]

You kidding? Last year's team lost to NY, Lakers, Detroit and lost the last game of RS that determined whether they were 2nd or 6th seed :lol

I'm talking about playoffs, not regular season. Last season's team showed more heart in the playoffs. They'd be up big in Memphis against this current Memphis team if they were playing them tonight instead of whoever the fuck we have out there right now. Last year's team had a superior Tim Duncan.

[DeRozan m8]

WTF is Pop doing tonight?

[Texas_Ranger]

I have no idea what anyone and especially Pop sees in Anderson. He's a terrible.

[$pursDynasty]

To believe we could have had an up and coming talent like JayMychal but instead held on to Bonner. For a front office that doesn't make many mistakes, this is one.

[100%duncan]

You tend to show more heart when you're facing a tougher opponent

[PopTheGOAT]

How does Kawhi have 21? I don't remember him scoring much. I guess it was 1st quarter

[100%duncan]

How does Kawhi have 21? I don't remember him scoring much. I guess it was 1st quarter

He got like 10 in the 1st

[Uriel]

Why isn't Timmy playing?

Also a superior Danny Green (even though he sucked in the playoffs last year).

[tholdren]

I have no idea what anyone and especially Pop sees in Anderson. He's a terrible.
i hate stephenson, would almost take him over that retard anderson

[Texas_Ranger]

Why isn't Timmy playing?

he needs to rest.

[EVAY]

My hope is its just hard to take this injured Memphis team serious.

That's what I honestly think is happening. And Memphis is playing way better than they have in previous games. They are home - their role players are more comfortable, etc. etc.

[Dro210]

Y'all should have all expected this to be the worst effort of the series. Really, really predictable. We're still gonna win, and Sunday we likely try to ramp it up a little. We'll blow the doors off, lead will hit 35. Gonna be around +80-90 for a 4 game series.

keep jumping off those cliffs tho :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

I would be happy if Green actualy dunked that in his pathetic face

[EVAY]

Why isn't Timmy playing?

He was pulled to match up with Memphis going small.

[Holden_Caulfield]

west has been a major disappointment on offense

[Kawhitstorm]

Why isn't Timmy playing?

Resting for the "back-to-back":pop::pop:

[timtonymanu]

Patty's shot on the road :lol

[100%duncan]

I swear Kawhi just fucking shoot it

[Ron Swanson]

Pop's about to kill someone

[TheGreatYacht]

Poop is the one who keeps the ball away from Kawhi :lmao

Then he got pissed when his shitty play failed per par

[99 Problems]

SHOOT IT KAWHI

[Holden_Caulfield]

kawhi has butterfingers

[TXstbobcat]

[urunobili]

Trashker...

[baseline bum]

Ugh, Clippers series Parker in the house tonight

[tholdren]

and this is where spurs need kevin martin or someone to attack the damn basket.

[SpursFan86]

I can just tell Pop is going to cost us a game or two this postseason by playing Parker on nights like this where he's worthless out there.

Get porker out plz!

[ace3g]

Danny "there has been an awakening" Green

[100%duncan]

Wish kawhi would do that more

[atoyotagaspedal]

parker such a cheeky ****, doesn't even cheer

[baseline bum]

It's frustrating watching Parker just walk the ball up the floor in fourth quarters. You know he's got nothing left when he's doing that.

[Ron Swanson]

Get porker out plz!


He is out

[DAF86]

Get Tony the fuck out.

It was really that simple.

[SPURt]

At least Kawhi wants to win

[tholdren]

don't know why boban didnt get some play tonight with zbo tearing it up

[thiste]

Memphis is getting away with lots of fouls

[loveforthegame]

Wish kawhi would do that more

Me too. First half of the season he was getting that board and pushing the ball. Second half he just gave it to the pg.

Really need him to push the ball more.

[myhc]

Fuck you porker. Fuck you.

[urunobili]

There's no ring without TP at all star level :depressed

[100%duncan]

It's frustrating watching Parker just walk the ball up the floor in fourth quarters. You know he's got nothing left when he's doing that.

And you know the other team's not threatened.

That's why him being the 3rd option is laughable. Committee or bust

[KaiRMD1]

Grizz legit dont stand a chance in any of these games. Everytime we beat these old sports its a sweep

[100%duncan]

There's no ring without TP at all star level :depressed

Well, if Manu continues to shine....

2013 Manu sucked TP good
2014 tp sucked manu good

[Sean Cagney]

There's no ring without TP at all star level :depressed

Basically no ring then TBH.... He will not be that guy again.

[Spurs9]

Need the tony parker walking gif tbh

[Ron Swanson]

There's no ring without TP at all star level :depressed

If that's the case, we're never getting another ring.

[Kawhitstorm]

Porky got benched in favor of the 2014 OKC 4th quarter lineup:toast

[sasaint]

Memphis is getting away with lots of fouls

On that last offensive rebound, I watched LMA come flying out of the scrum and end up on his knees out of bounds. Pushed, ya think? :wow

[100%duncan]

Manu as PG. Feels like old times

[EVAY]

We are up by 8 at the 3 minute mark. I personally think we are going to win.

[RD2191]

[EVAY]

Not Manu's finest move...the foul

[100%duncan]

Ayt. Give it to Kawhi or LMA.

[MultiTroll]

GNobili is starting his Ahlzheimers crap.
Get him out now while there is still time

[100%duncan]

Damn Hubie ALWAYS sounds like he is rooting for whoever we are playing against.

Glad to see Leonard having a good game. His shot looks like its returning to form. We need him to play at a high level going forward. Role players arnt taking a big leap besides Diaw so far.

[DPG21920]

Nice to win, but strange game. Didn't turn it over, shot great from 3 & kept FT's close, but still could not break 100 vs a mediocre defense. Grizz played hard though and maybe that had something to do with it. Still odd though.

[Mnky]

Not that hard to pass to a top 3 player in the league

He has two top 10 players. Should be dropping double digit assist averages.
