Game Thread (68/82): Spurs @ Grizz (8:00 PM CT) sponsored by Avoid At All Costs

[bklynspursfan]

Let's get some stops now fellas

[Robz4000]

This team could seriously lose in the first round tbh.

[jyra]

Urgh, getting flashbacks to Blair and Bonner being killed by Gasol and Randolph.

[TheGreatYacht]

Why play Lee and Bertans against Marc and Zbo? Can somebody explain that to me?
The same senile coach that played Diaw/West on Adams/Kanter

[BillMc]

Remember when Timmy and Splitter were in Randolph's head? Miss that...

[bklynspursfan]

Why play Lee and Bertans against Marc and Zbo? Can somebody explain that to me?

Didn't last long lol. Grizz came back with Gasol as soon as Bertans came in.

[Ron Swanson]

B3rtans!

[r0drig0lac]

Latvian to the rescue

[bklynspursfan]

Remember when Timmy and Splitter were in Randolph's head? Miss that...

They owned him. It was glorious. From that 2011 series, it seems we just were in their heads for like 2-3 years

[Uriel]

I would rather have Matt Bonner guarding Zach Randolph than Davis Bertans.

[spursparker9]

Bertans not afraid

[PopTheGOAT]

B3RTANS

[SAGirl]

Bertans!!!
Plus Simmons maybe getting off his slump!

[hater]

Holy sheet spurs want this win

Bad ass Bertans

[spursparker9]

I would rather have Matt Bonner guarding Zach Randolph than Davis Bertans.

And guarding Akaba as well

[jyra]

As bad as Bertans was defensively, he also created two 3s by driving against Randolph.

[SAGirl]

I would rather have Matt Bonner guarding Zach Randolph than Davis Bertans.
Pop has to see what he has to see TBH. By the time playoffs roll around it will be too late.

[DAF86]

MJ music getting Kawhi ready for the takeover, tbh.

[hater]

Why play Lee and Bertans against Marc and Zbo? Can somebody explain that to me?

Bertans just explained it to you :lol

[BillMc]

Latvian to the rescue

Davis has played well offensively. Can he survive on D?


They owned him. It was glorious. From that 2011 series, it seems we just were in their heads for like 2-3 years
Yeah. It was amazing. Had him second guessing himself and making public apologies.

[marinoman]

Bethans playing pf vs grizzlies is disastrous on defense tho

[PopTheGOAT]

Your overweight wife is banging the lawn cutter guy
Lmao nice try

[Ron Swanson]

Tony, WTF are you doing?

[DPG21920]

Damn it TP. Two bad plays.

[spursistan]

Parker Heroing shit out there...smh..

[DAF86]

Bertans just explained it to you :lol

I understand Bertans, not Bertans with Lee.

[BatManu20]

Lol tony

[DAF86]

There's no use for Tony out there. Get Mills or Green in there for him.

[DPG21920]

That is not a foul!

[hater]

Carter is such a great human :cry

I wanna have his babies

[FkLA]

Get this hero the fuck out. Bring in MVPaddy.

[$pursDynasty]

Where is LMA

[TheGreatYacht]

NBA ain't letting the Spurs catch their boys :lmao

[spursparker9]

Bertans don't get respect

[Horse]

This chuck a 3 pray for a foul bullshit is out of hand ruining the game.

[hater]

Wheels coming out

[DPG21920]

Get this hero the fuck out. Bring in MVPaddy.

Paddy has been just as bad.

[bklynspursfan]

God that's such a bs . These refs blow tonight

[hater]

Paddy has been just as bad.

And Manure 10x worse

[Budkin]

This team is falling apart.

[bklynspursfan]

Of course Kawhi is the first guy to miss a FT

[SAGirl]

GG by Simmons glad to see it. It had been a long while...

[bklynspursfan]

Ugh... Needed that one Green or TP

[DPG21920]

Needed that Danny. No one hitting.

[cutewizard]

arent we sluggish lately?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

That's game, bye bye #1 seed.

[TheGreatYacht]

So glad Green is in the game!

[DPG21920]

Make or miss league. SA got just as good of a look(s).

[SAGirl]

Manu was pretty bad... I hope he's rested tomorrow..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Way too much dead weight on this team.

[cutewizard]

i hate it when we are losing

[DAF86]

Wide open brick, get Patty in there for fuck sake.

[r0drig0lac]

damn Danny sucks

[marinoman]

Has Danny green even had a good 3 game stretch this season

[Darius Bieber]

Trash ass team. First round exit. Worst line up in the league at every position.

[DPG21920]

Awful pass by Danny.

[bklynspursfan]

That was a freaking push. Smh. Pathetic

[Robz4000]

Spurs have, by far, the worst guard rotation in the NBA.

[Ron Swanson]

Jesus, Danny. LMA isn't 8 feet tall.

[spursgu]

Green you useless fuck

[$pursDynasty]

I would trade Verde for Tony Allen any day of the week

[DPG21920]

Wide open brick, get Patty in there for fuck sake.

You realize Patty has been bricking just as bad.

[bklynspursfan]

Make or miss league. SA got just as good of a look(s).

Open look after open look missed. Plus Kawhi not being his normal Kawhi self. Recipe for a loss

[Darius Bieber]

That was a freaking push. Smh. Pathetic

Cant criticize the refs when you play like complete trash.

[TheGreatYacht]

Wide open brick, get Patty in there for fuck sake.
Lmaooooooo

[DPG21920]

Mills with a brick.

[BillMc]

Danny should never try and make plays.

[BatManu20]

Nobody can make a damn shot.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs have, by far, the worst guard rotation in the NBA.

Spurs are going to have a tough time against any of the OKC/Memphis/LAC first round matchup. All of those would go a minimum 6 games.

[Perry Mason]

We have such garbage shooters. This is unwatchable. What happened? Why have Danny and Patty been so unclutch?

[FkLA]

Enrique is a fucking fat turd of shit. There literally isn't one single good reason why he's out there to close the game out.

[Budkin]

Game

[DPG21920]

Spurs will destroy MEM in a series IMVHO. Especially knowing Allen is a non-factor.

[timtonymanu]

Have the Grizzlies become a tougher matchup? Don't think we own them like in years past.

[marinoman]

We're screwed and our guards suck

[BillMc]

Offense looked better wtih Davis in, tbh

[dabom]

It's pver. We can't hit anything and they hitting everything or getting all the 50/50 balls.

[TheGreatYacht]

Enrique is a fucking fat turd of shit. There literally isn't one single good reason why he's out there to close the game out.
That was the fat Aussie pg that missed that and is closing the game, faggot

[DAF86]

You realize Patty has been bricking just as bad.

Mills is at least a 40% 3pt shooter. I prefer to go down with him taking 3's on the 4th than Tony. Specially on a game like tonight where Tony isn't doing anything at all.

[ducks]

Leonard has sucked this 4

[hater]

This is a preview of the 2nd round of the 2017 playoffs tbqh

[Strategic]

More of the same old cow bell

[BillMc]

Spurs will destroy MEM in a series IMVHO. Especially knowing Allen is a non-factor.

[TheGreatYacht]

Have the Grizzlies become a tougher matchup? Don't think we own them like in years past.
Prime tony and Duncan in the paint was the reason we owned them. Now we don't have either

[Horse]

These fucks have got away with murder all night. Now another shitty call

[DPG21920]

Mills is at least a 40% 3pt shooter. I prefer to go down with him taking 3's on the 4th than Tony. Specially on a game like tonight where Tony isn't doing anything at all.

But neither is Mills. Tp brings more than Mills when Mills isn't shooting. Mills got his chances today and blew it.

[hater]

Mills is at least a 40% 3pt shooter. I prefer to go down with him taking 3's on the 4th than Tony. Specially on a game like tonight where Tony isn't doing anything at all.

And Manure has been sucking cock all jight btw

[CP48107]

It's pver. We can't hit anything and they hitting everything or getting all the 50/50 balls. It is like that for the past few games. This is not good.

[spursistan]

Mills and Green are not coming back, let's face it...They haven't been the same shooters for two years now and folks are still putting in the excuses...they are fucking bricking wide open threes an it has nothing to do with system change....

[Ron Swanson]

Marc hits Pau in the head. No call.

[SAGirl]

Wasting a good JSimms game TBH... come on!
:flag:

[DAF86]

And Manure has been sucking cock all jight btw

So? Who's talking about Manu? :lol

[Ditty]

These refs are fucking terrible

[r0drig0lac]

Marc >> LMA

[Darius Bieber]

Where are all the delusional Spur fans now? This team is total trash.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs aren't destroying anyone in the first round. All those matchups will be 6 games minimum. Too much dead weight outside of Kawhi, after all these months we still have no idea who we can rely on to show up. Kawhi by himself isn't enough.

[703 Spurz]

They can't beat queer teams like Portland and Memphis how can they beat GS?

[Robz4000]

Spurs are going to have a tough time against any of the OKC/Memphis/LAC first round matchup. All of those would go a minimum 6 games.

They aren't beating the first two. Wanna see the next two matchups with the Grizz to see if they can continue to shit on the Spurs like this.

[bklynspursfan]

Marc slapped Pau, no call. Pau whined, lead to that. Officials suck tonight.

We beat ourselves by not capitalizing on our open looks, but the refs did not help.

[FkLA]

Mills is at least a 40% 3pt shooter. I prefer to go down with him taking 3's on the 4th than Tony. Specially on a game like tonight where Tony isn't doing anything at all.

Common sense. Kind of a joke that you have to explain that to Rique tards like DPG.

[DPG21920]

Why doesn't SA get the calls that every other team gets?

[DAF86]

But neither is Mills. Tp brings more than Mills when Mills isn't shooting. Mills got his chances today and blew it.

TP doesn't bring shit on games like these. Stop your bullshit.

[Horse]

Where are all the delusional Spur fans now? This team is total trash.
Go fuck your cousin faggot

[Ron Swanson]

Conley carries. No call.

[mexicanjunior]

Where are all the delusional Spur fans now? This team is total trash.

I switched over to the boxing PPV awhile ago...Knew Spurs lost this game by the start of the 4th...

[bklynspursfan]

They aren't beating the first two. Wanna see the next two matchups with the Grizz to see if they can continue to shit on the Spurs like this.

They aren't losing to any of those teams. GS (with KD) and a lesser extent Houston are the teams that would take us out.

[jyra]

That's a double dribble.

[FkLA]

But neither is Mills. Tp brings more than Mills when Mills isn't shooting. Mills got his chances today and blew it.

Jesus christ.

[dabom]

Common sense. Kind of a joke that you have to explain that to Rique tards like DPG.

Remember when Tony had a career year from 3 point percentage on low volume and proceeded to hit ZERO% in the playoffs. :lmao

[SAGirl]

Have the Grizzlies become a tougher matchup? Don't think we own them like in years past.
They are shooting a lot more 3s than seasons past and playing at home... you have to bring your a game not your Alzheimer's game... lol

[Ditty]

I hate Z-Bo. I hope he never wins a ring.

[DPG21920]

Jesus christ.

:lmao Mills hasn't done anything. Spurs losing with Mills starting and he's not doing anything tonight either. Im sorry yall cant grasp about TP doing other things better than Mills if Mills isn't hitting (which he's not).

[ducks]

Points off turnovers 17 them spurs 0

[TheGreatYacht]

Kiwi 6/15 lmfaooooooo

[bklynspursfan]

Gotta grab that rebound.

That was silly by Allen to rush that, almost worked out for us.

[TXstbobcat]

Marc hits Pau in the head. No call.

Refs staying out of a sibling rivalry.

[Darius Bieber]

Gonna lose tomorrow anyways. Trash ass team.

[BillMc]

They aren't losing to any of those teams. GS (with KD) and a lesser extent Houston are the teams that would take us out.

Agree. Though Houston, you know, D'Antoni's not beating Pop.

[SuperCam]

great night from LMAlpha everyone else shot like shit

[ducks]

Has Leonard made a field goal in 4?

[Darius Bieber]

Kawhi is no MVP

[TheGreatYacht]

Why isnt Green out there with the bums?

[PopTheGOAT]

Member that one day we were the 1 seed? That was nice

[SuperCam]

Kiwi 6/15 lmfaooooooo


rounding into playoffs form tbh :bang

[bklynspursfan]

Unless the Bucks pull off the upset tonight in Oracle, the 1 seed becomes an awfully difficult feat. Not impossible, but unlikely.

[Horse]

Kawhi finally had an off game. They'll never hit 3's like this again. They got every fucking call while we got shit. The league does not want us with the 1 seed.

[BillMc]

Haven't looked at the box score but Manu and Danny and Tony didn't show up today.

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi is no MVP

[bklynspursfan]

Agree. Though Houston, you know, D'Antoni's not beating Pop.

That's true. Just like old times.. Popping some Pringles

[TheGreatYacht]

rounding into playoffs form tbh :bang
Clamped by the should've been 2x defending DPOY, Tony Allen

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Andrew Harrison still sucks.

[hater]

Avoid at all costs

:lol split vagina :lol

[Ditty]

Fucking foul!

[TXstbobcat]

Member that one day we were the 1 seed? That was nice

:rollin

[SPURt]

That sucked. Poor shooting. Too many turnovers. Refs horrible. Griz couldn't miss. Just butts

[TXstbobcat]

Haven't looked at the box score but Manu and Danny and Tony didn't show up today.

Too much of that Memphis barbecue right before the game.

[Ditty]

All MVP players have bad games. It happens. Leonard is the least of my worries.

[$pursDynasty]

Cult glad you showed if nothing else than it's nice to see Torrie Wilson every time you post

[FkLA]

:lmao Mills hasn't done anything. Spurs losing with Mills starting and he's not doing anything tonight either. Im sorry yall cant grasp about TP doing other things better than Mills if Mills isn't hitting (which he's not).

What he does is minimal. Yeah, he can dribble better and is more of a PG than Paddy. Who gives a shit. When he sucks he's still a horrible player that isn't a shooting threat. I don't care if Paddy is 0-10. He's still a much much better option than Rique to shoot a wide open corner three.

[SAGirl]

great night from LMAlpha everyone else shot like shit
Nah Simmons had a game that he hasn't had in a long while tbh and teamwasted it too.

[ace3g]

Disappointed in young guys in final 30+ secs, get the game within 6 points and just let Grizz walk the ball up the court before casually fouling them... they gave up and had no interest on both sides of the court.

[Budkin]

I'll be shocked if we advance to the WCF.

[dabom]

Remember when Tony had a career year from 3 point percentage on low volume and proceeded to hit ZERO% in the playoffs. :lmao

[FkLA]

It's basically akin to Kyle bricking a wide open 3 and then saying "oh well Kawhi isn't hitting his 3s either anyway". Stop being a retard, seriously.

[Budkin]

What will Pop's excuse be?

[spurs10]

Unless the Bucks pull off the upset tonight in Oracle, the 1 seed becomes an awfully difficult feat. Not impossible, but unlikely.
Yep..it's unlikely GSW goes on another skid. I can't remember anyone making a shot in the 4th before the scrubs came in. The Greenwide open miss followed by the well contested Conley 3 was the 6 point turnaround that sealed our demise. These guys won't be a walkin the park in the first round. An almost guaranteed matchup.

[Budkin]

Figures, get LMA back and lose b2b to mediocre teams.

[BillMc]

Well, enjoy the screams of the cliff jumpers in the night all. I'm going to bed for an hour. :lol

[TXstbobcat]

Well, enjoy the screams of the cliff jumpers in the night all. I'm going to bed for an hour. :lol

was the wrestling match you were watching at the commercials better than the Spurs game tonight???

[spurs10]

was the wrestling match you were watching at the commercials better than the Spurs game tonight??? Probably!

[$pursDynasty]

Well since #1 seed is looking dicey, if this game means LMA is rounding into for and the juice has some confidence in his shot then that would be lemonade from this L (oss)

[rasuo214]

Anyone know the Spurs record this season when LMA takes more shots than Kawhi, happened the last 2 games.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Cult glad you showed if nothing else than it's nice to see Torrie Wilson every time you post
:tu

[ViceCity86]

Spurs payed homage to Chuck Berry tonight. They played like Ding a Ling's.

[Budkin]

Spurs played homage to Chuck Berry tonight. They played like Ding a Ling's.

Maybe they'll go urinate and fart on some women after this Chuck Berry style.

[DPG21920]

What he does is minimal. Yeah, he can dribble better and is more of a PG than Paddy. Who gives a shit. When he sucks he's still a horrible player that isn't a shooting threat. I don't care if Paddy is 0-10. He's still a much much better option than Rique to shoot a wide open corner three.

Patty has gotten his shot and continually blown it. He has to be hitting shots to earn playing time. He wasn't hitting shots tonight.

[DPG21920]

It's basically akin to Kyle bricking a wide open 3 and then saying "oh well Kawhi isn't hitting his 3s either anyway". Stop being a retard, seriously.

Nah. Again, Kawhi does other things. So Kawhi should be playing if both players aren't shooting well. If Mills isn't shooting well and neither is TP, Tp will play because he can do other things. Mills cannot.

[ViceCity86]

Grizzlies announcer Brevin Knight ain't lying with his critique of Parker. Anybody would love to play this Porker.

[SAGirl]

Figures, get LMA back and lose b2b to mediocre teams.
Wow I hadn't thought about it like that...

[FkLA]

Patty has gotten his shot and continually blown it. He has to be hitting shots to earn playing time. He wasn't hitting shots tonight.

That's beyond stupid. If the PG is going to play off-ball and stand in the corner in crunchtime, one PG is clearly the better option. Stop being a biased idiot.

[DPG21920]

That's beyond stupid. If the PG is going to play off-ball and stand in the corner in crunchtime, one PG is clearly the better option. Stop being a biased idiot.

:lol Well obviously you don't like the truth. Im not even saying I agree with it but I'm telling you WHY it's happening. Pop feels the same way. So you seem to be the biased idiot with little to no understanding of the game if you are arguing against what Pop actually does.

[FkLA]

Nah. Again, Kawhi does other things. So Kawhi should be playing if both players aren't shooting well. If Mills isn't shooting well and neither is TP, Tp will play because he can do other things. Mills cannot.

What other things did he do today? Other than fail at playing hero.

[SAGirl]

Weird double post

[FkLA]

:lol Well obviously you don't like the truth. Im not even saying I agree with it but I'm telling you WHY it's happening. Pop feels the same way. So you seem to be the biased idiot with little to no understanding of the game if you are arguing against what Pop actually does.

lol nice backtrack

[SAGirl]

Well since #1 seed is looking dicey, if this game means LMA is rounding into for and the juice has some confidence in his shot then that would be lemonade from this L (oss)
That's basically all there is to take from this.

and I have given up on the 1st seed tbh

[Ditty]

Spurs should be in the conference finals no doubt about that :lol

Only way we don't make it is if Kawhi isn't 100%, or a team just gets incredibly hot and can't miss. It won't be because we got out executed or the other team has more talent than us like OKC did last year. Harden is the only player we are going to have face that can take over the series. His defensive limitations is going to hurt them in the playoffs when the game slows down though.

I don't think we beat GS with a healthy Durant though.

[LakerHater]

Fuckin very very very disapointed!!

[cutewizard]

are we avoiding the first seed??????

[Hoops Czar]

OMG, you whiny little shits! We go through this every time they lose a game. It's just one game, the Spurs will be fine.

[Richard Simmons]

How is it that my Griz look a touch above average against the rest of the league but look like legends against this pretending Spurts squad?? :rollin

[cutewizard]

we better bring it the next game

the Cavs and the Warriors after that......

[TXstbobcat]

Spurs need to bring it against the Wolves on Tuesday. I will be at the target center for that game.

[ElNono]

OMG, you whiny little shits! We go through this every time they lose a game. It's just one game, the Spurs will be fine.

this

[ElNono]

props to our resident Grizz fan, tbh... tough to play in the grindhouse

[Horse]

Especially 8 vs 5. we got hosed the entire 1st half. If those fucks are not in the penalty all 2nd quarter and getting ticky tack calls we're up 10 at the half.

[SAGirl]

Pau: "Right now, we're just a little sloppy. Too many turnovers and those add up and make a big difference."

[BillMc]

was the wrestling match you were watching at the commercials better than the Spurs game tonight???

NO. It was the usual posturing, shouting, obvious plot twists, amazing recoveries. I hate pro wrestling and this was bad even by that standards.

[TXstbobcat]

NO. It was the usual posturing, shouting, obvious plot twists, amazing recoveries. I hate pro wrestling and this was bad even by that standards.

i never became a wrestling fan but I did like the movie The Wrestler w/ Mickey Rourke.

Never saw it, but I'll take your recommendation and look it up sometime. :toast
