Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Memphis Grizzlies
We’ll get to know these guys pretty well, because it’s the first of three contests between the clubs in the next 18 days.

by Quixem Ramirez (http://www.sbnation.com/users/Quixem%20Ramirez) Mar 18, 2017, 2:00am CDT

The Memphis Grizzlies (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/memphis-grizzlies) won’t win a title this season, but they’ll be a thorn in the side for any first-round opponent.

Same as it ever was.

This year’s iteration of the team features the following:



Top 10-defense.
Marc Gasol (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/24227/marc-gasol) doing dope Marc Gasol things (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DlR4wYznQE).
highest-paid-NBA-player-in-the-league Mike Conley (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/25114/mike-conley) being a All-Star caliber point guard.
Zach Randolph (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/21825/zach-randolph) punking fools off the bench.
JaMychal Green (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/247254/jamychal-green) becoming a legitimate starting power forward. (He appeared in four games for the Spurs (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/san-antonio-spurs) in the 2014-15 season, by the way.)
Vince Carter (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/21546/vince-carter) still winning the battle (http://www.nba.com/video/2016/11/25/vince-carter-season-dunks-112316) against Father Time at 40 years old.
Tony Allen (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/4347/tony-allen) terrorizing opposing players’ lives on the defensive end.

Memphis, the seventh seed in the Western Conference with a 39-30 record, is within one game of the fifth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/los-angeles-clippers) and a half-game behind the sixth-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/oklahoma-city-thunder). The chances are there for upward mobility, but they do not possess either head-to-head tiebreaker. If the season ended today, they’d draw the Spurs in the first round for the third time in seven seasons.

David Fizdale (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/98708/david-fizdale), an assistant coach for eight seasons with the Miami Heat (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/miami-heat), was named the head coach in the hopes of moving the Grind City Grizzlies into the 21st century. The tenets of the old Grizzlies offense is still largely in place — Gasol working around the elbows, Randolph bruising bench bigs down low, Conley darting into the paint and opening up angles for sub-standard shooters — except the team is hoisting up 26.2 3-pointers per game, good for 13th-most in the league. San Antonio, by contrast, is 26th in 3-point attempts.

That, alone, explains the Grizzlies improved offensive efficiency this season. Under Joerger, Memphis avoided 3-pointers and bottomed out as the 22nd best offense in the league on a per-possession basis. This season, emboldened by Fizdale’s experience with Erik Spoelstra (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/98704/erik-spoelstra) and the space-and-pace Heat, Memphis is creeping up towards the league average (17th) in offensive efficiency.

Fizdale released the restraints on Gasol’s game, allowing the Spaniard to float out behind the 3-point arc. He’s attempted 244 3-pointers this season — compared to just 77 in his first eight seasons — making them at an above-average clip (38.5 percent). Conley is shooting a near career-best 40.3 percent on a healthy volume of opportunities, too. This franchise is slowly, but surely, embracing the new-age NBA principles. Building a competent offense is nearly impossible without attempting a high volume of 3-pointers or at least shooting them efficiently. Memphis did neither for years and still found a way to win 50+ games a season.

Times have changed though. Winning without the 3-pointer as at least part of the offensive toolbox is damn near impossible. Smart teams will suffocate the life out of a deadlocked offense in the playoffs. It’s happened to Memphis in the past. (Example: last year’s first-round series when San Antonio ousted the injury-depleted Grizzlies in four games.)

Still, Memphis’ defense remains the the foundation and over-arching identity of the team. Winning basketball games typically means the Grizzlies play top-notch defense, avoid turnovers (sixth in turnover rate), create free throws often (fifth in free throw rate) and receive just enough offensive oomph from Conley and Gasol to put them over the top.

It remains a winning formula in 2017. Title or not, Memphis should not be taken lightly.

San Antonio Spurs (52-15) at Memphis Grizzlies (39-30)

March 18, 2017 | 8:00 pm CDT

Watch: FSSW; Listen: 1200 AM WOAI

Spurs injuries: Dejounte Murray (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/276622/dejounte-murray) (groin), Tony Parker (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/21781/tony-parker) (back)

Grizzlies injuries: Chandler Parsons (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/132514/chandler-parsons) (knee)

Still waiting for that win

San Antonio has beaten 27 of 29 NBA teams this season. That includes the Warriors (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/golden-state-warriors), Rockets (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/houston-rockets), Cavaliers (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/cleveland-cavaliers), Celtics (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/boston-celtics) etc etc.

But the Spurs haven’t beaten the Grizzlies or Knicks (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/new-york-knicks) yet.

Granted, the only opportunity was a Kawhi-less game on the front-end of the Rodeo Road Trip. San Antonio lost by 15 points, scored a season-low in points (74) while shooting 36.6 percent from the field.

The Spurs have three opportunities over the next three weeks to beat the Grizzlies, starting tonight.


Vegas line: Spurs by 3.5.
Game prediction: Spurs by 6.

Grizz in 4

[Leetonidas]

Still no Parker or Murray? Once again gonna be a struggle to score especially against a solid defense.

Spurs win 94-91 as Kawhi saves us from defeat again imo

Vince Carter is the best 39yr+ old shooting guard in the league tbh

[Thomas82]

It's payback time tonight!!

[spursistan]

Any hopes of Murray playing himself into small rotation role in the playoffs have essentially been dashed with this groin injury..

Dude better go bulk up some in the summer..his current built is so prone to bumps and bruises sidelining him more than it should....

Would have loved to play the Grizz before they could undergo chemotherapy-- that is of shutting down Chandler Parsons..

[james evans]

i think it's safe to say that I won't see this whole game tonight. GGG vs Jacobs along with Chocolatito on the undercard. I love basketball, but boxing is by far my favorite sport

[dabom]

You don't get groin injuries from contact. It's when you ain't warmed up and you push off sideways with your leg. Usually when trying to change direction when running.

Parker :lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

Green might be overweight. He keeps getting blown by every SG, including a 40yr old :lol

[spursistan]

Stop shooting you bum ass LMA! :lmao

[FkLA]

Why is Green dribbling? IDGAF if he got fouled. Don't dribble, faggot.

[spursistan]

How the fuck that was no foul on KawhI? :lol

[RD2191]

Conley abusing Parker per usual.

[Ron Swanson]

Conley going for a career high tonight?

But the Pork is a DPOY compared to Paddy :cry

[bklynspursfan]

Ok LMA. Like the confidence and decisiveness there

[TheGreatYacht]

Vince Carter the BEST TOSB shooting guard on the floor

[TheGreatYacht]

Microwave cancering it up on both ends

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Stop shooting you bum ass LMA! :lmao

I guess you could say his heart missed a beat there.

[RD2191]

Kawhi playing passive

[UNT Eagles 2016]

but that would kill him you asshole :D

[TheGreatYacht]

Get Kiwi's bum ass on the bench so he can rethink life. Wtf was that

[RD2191]

:lmao spurs

[TheGreatYacht]

:lmao Microwave making FKTP exit the thread. Sad!

[bklynspursfan]

Lots of open looks being missed.. once those start falling we'll be in good shape. Glad to see LMA knock another down

[spursistan]

Really not surprising early scoreline despite the rest and coming off an embarrassing home loss..The Spurs have been trending down for the last couple of weeks..Those squeak out wins vs scrub teams were indicative of their current play..

[TheGreatYacht]

Get Bertans bum ass outta there

[Ron Swanson]

Pregame show talked about how many 3s we've been making. Now we can't hit any and Memphis is hitting all of them.

[RD2191]

:lmao porker comes back and the team goes to shit

[TheGreatYacht]

:cry but Bertans is OG :cry

:lmao

[Ron Swanson]

Jesus Christ, Simmons. You should be benched after that.

[SAGirl]

The only thing about this game.. at least I am glad to see LMA getting it going in

[TXstbobcat]

Craptacular 1st quarter :depressed

[ElNono]

can't hit for shit and they won't miss

[TheGreatYacht]

Thank God and the Bible Manure and Microwave are outta here next year :worthy:

[Robz4000]

Spurs have been fading since New Years. Kawhi playing at an MVP level hid some of it, but now that teams are gearing up for the playoffs and keying in on him more the rest of the team is unable to pick up the slack.

[dabom]

Down 11. Chill guys. We got 3 more quarters.

[SPURt]

Why do the Spurs hate being wide open?? So frustrating to watch!!

[jyra]

Missing a lot of makeable shots.

[spursistan]

but..but ..but " ST cliffjumpers" :cry..

A team that keep falling into big holes has a fundamental flaw..they have done it the entire fuckin year...the chickens will come home roost in the playoffs..

[BillMc]

Davis and Simmons with mistakes om back to back plays.

[FkLA]

:lmao Microwave making FKTP exit the thread. Sad!

What were you saying, faggot?

[spurs10]

Alright second quarter!

[BillMc]

Anyone else forced to watch some Memphis pro-wrestling style junk in the intermission? Ugh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons getting EVERYONE open looks

[TheGreatYacht]

What were you saying, faggot?
Waited till he hit a shot :lmao faggot

[ElNono]

Is that Tony with the bench?

[TheGreatYacht]

Why would Poop bench our 6th man, David Lee, for Bonner 2.0?!

[bklynspursfan]

We're actually executing very well offensively, I mean that end of quarter play was great. Lots of passing and player movement and activity. Good stuff

Stuff just isn't falling (till that Patty 3) and they were extra hot. If we continue running the O like we are, once it balances out we'll be fine.

[TXstbobcat]

Anyone else forced to watch some Memphis pro-wrestling style junk in the intermission? Ugh.

no, what just getting local Memphis commercials.

[ElNono]

HOTS turning the tide

[TheGreatYacht]

Manure and Microwave out, Lead in :worthy:

great pass

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Spurs were always going to make a comeback tbh.

Pop is experimenting. Team is locked into the second seeds and the 1st doesn't matter if he doesn't have his young guys playing well.

[bklynspursfan]

These guys look good tonight. #1 seed is in play for sure. We have our 8 man rotation for the playoffs, and hopefully the likes of Simmons/Bertans and possibly Anderson can provide Sparks when needed .

Pop is past tinkering, he knows what he has

[TXstbobcat]

RIP Andy Kaufman! He got into some wrestling in Memphis!:lol

will never forget Latka from Taxi. :toast

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Both of these teams suck right now.

Taxi was a great show.

[SAGirl]

Yeah Kiwis a bit off but I am sure he will get back on track. Lucky others started making shots

[TheGreatYacht]

When is Manure's jersey retirement in Memphis?

[SAGirl]

Manu Alzheimer's game?

[RD2191]

Why the fuck are games against the grizz always foul fest?

Ed Malloy really hates the Spurs tbh.

He really does smh

Ginobili must be wearing a Grizzlies jersey underneath.

[RD2191]

Fuck

[jyra]

That's a really stupid foul..

[SAGirl]

Too much fouling geezzz

[TheGreatYacht]

Every time Manure and Microwave are on the floor together = Grizzlies run :lmao

[RD2191]

The grizz get away with murder at their house, has been that way for ages.

[DAF86]

Spurs playing west east, instead south north.

[SAGirl]

Spurs right now just 2/13 on 3s that has to go up in the 2nd half..., right?

[SAGirl]

Kiwi 3!

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi at the buzzer!

[r0drig0lac]

Kawhi!!

[bklynspursfan]

There we go Why-Why. Hopefully that gets him going into the 2nd half

[SAGirl]

Kawhi!!! I knew he'd get it going :claw

[DAF86]

There we go Why-Why. Hopefully that gets him going into the 2nd half

Kawhi has been just fine, tbh. 11 pts on 4-9 shooting. He just needs to be more involved.

[BillMc]

Grizzlies coach looks like he should be the drummer in a 50's era cool jazz band.

[TheGreatYacht]

1pt game in spite of Manure and Mills. Gotta take it

[SPURt]

Considering how bad that looked without knowing score an stats, I'll take down 1 going into the half

[BillMc]

Here comes the stupid wwf junk....

[Ron Swanson]

:lol:toast

[spursistan]

The Grizz blew their load..It is up to the Spurs to take over this game..Kawhi needs to get assertive and attack the basket more instead of settling on outside shot..He's only one capable of balancing the FT gap (13 vs 4)..Memphis are the most foul-prone team in the league..Only 4 FTA for SA in one half is embarrassing..

[$pursDynasty]

What's up with the bad first quarters? Is it a Dewayne and Danny issue?

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi has been just fine, tbh. 11 pts on 4-9 shooting. He just needs to be more involved.

But prior to that ending he was 2-7 with 6 points. So it's good to see him get going a bit. They've defended him well, gotta give them credit thus far

[SAGirl]

What's up with the bad first quarters? Is it a Dewayne and Danny issue?
Nah.., too many TO, fouling and a spell of missing shots.

[Ron Swanson]

2-13 3 pt shooting isn't going to cut it.

[jyra]

Looks like Pop gave the team a good dose of coaching. They have been in there a lot longer than the Grizzlies.

[BillMc]

2-13 3 pt shooting isn't going to cut it.

If Danny stops dribbling and starts shooting, we should improve that.

[Ron Swanson]

Can we stop the full court pass? Timmy isn't here anymore.

[$pursDynasty]

Dang all LMA in the 3rd quarter

[bklynspursfan]

LMA:tu

[TheGreatYacht]

Green is literally fucking useless

[FkLA]

I'm not against getting LMA involved but not sure why Pop insists on force feeding him.

[bklynspursfan]

Flop

[Ron Swanson]

JaMychal Green going in raw per par.

[bklynspursfan]

That looked like a 2 point shot

[Darius Bieber]

Lol, these clowns aren't contenders. Trash ass team.

[TheGreatYacht]

Aldridge needs a season ender.

[$pursDynasty]

JaMychal Green going in raw per par.
we did let him go and kept two guys who are not in the league anymore so he probably bears a grudge.

[spursistan]

I'm not against getting LMA involved but not sure why Pop insists on force feeding him.
This get-Aldridge-going offense isn't working..The Spurs has fallen behind at the start of both Quarters because it....

[SPURt]

Where is the purpose? Where's the confidence? The Spurs looked so timid, ugh

[BillMc]

Spurs sill get this.

[703 Spurz]

This just in, Danny Green fucking is atrocious.

[PopTheGOAT]

Aldridge needs a season ender.
Shut your damn mouth, faggot

[bklynspursfan]

Would like to see our FTA's go up, but I'm sure that's asking a lot here in Memphis

[TheGreatYacht]

Shut your damn mouth, faggot
Your overweight wife is banging the lawn cutter guy

[SAGirl]

Spurs need some 3 pt shots to join tbh.. (Magic wisdom right?)

[bklynspursfan]

Green had no idea what he wanted to do there.

And wow, Ed Malloy haha. That was a quick T. I'll take it

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Spurs got this. :wakeup

[$pursDynasty]

Funny ref goes vince, Vince says don't call me vince and gets a tech

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Kawhi getting schooled by Tony Allen on offense. Embarrassing.

[spursistan]

You just can't let Tony Allen overpower you Kawhi!

[BillMc]

LMA playing well

[Ron Swanson]

Even Tony Allen is hitting 3 pointers.

[bklynspursfan]

Smh. You're TONY not RAY.

[SAGirl]

LMA playing well
Glad to see ... Spurs ain't going far if he doesn't get his shot going...

[spursparker9]

Tony Allen, spur killer

[Ron Swanson]

Need to close this quarter strong.

[bklynspursfan]

Moving screen by Marc Gasol missed on that 3

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Welp. That's the Manu Tres.

Manu finally!!

[BillMc]

Grizzlies saluting a military man by playing "Born in the USA". Does no one listen to the lyrics?

I think they'd won 3 straight before tonight

[bklynspursfan]

:rollin this Grizz team was freefalling in the standings before tonight

They're on a 3 game winning streak fwiw. Probably thought GS would be 2 and tanked for them lol

Simmons! Best he's looked in a while

[Ron Swanson]

It seems he's really trying to get LMA into a rhythm down the stretch which I get. Doing it against the Grizz too is a good sign. We need him to be great come post season

[DAF86]

Giving the ball to LA to finish the quarter. :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

They lost 5 straight before winning 3 straight.
Sucks the Spurs caught y'all when the white American SF was out

[DAF86]

Seriously? All that buildup for that?

[SPURt]

What did the griz shoot that quarter? I feel like they couldn't miss

[spursistan]

Dubs down 10 vs Bucks...

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi has 11 shots, LMA has 18.

That can't happen, ever.

[Horse]

Say what you will be these refs came out with an agenda

[hater]

Holy sheet the Grizzlies mascot is bad ass

[BillMc]

It seems he's really trying to get LMA into a rhythm down the stretch which I get. Doing it against the Grizz too is a good sign. We need him to be great come post season

Good point. Also, it's a back-to-back and you have to keep someone's minutes down. Bet he plays big tomorrow.

[TheGreatYacht]

Just fucking retire Manure. Faggot

[$pursDynasty]

Dang it Manu

[spursistan]

This team starting quarters :lol..

[DAF86]

Bad Manu night. Get him the fuck out, tbh.

[Darius Bieber]

Who honestly thinks we are contenders? This team is trash.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Man, Spurs are just brutal right now. Bad time for the playoffs to be around the corner.

[Ron Swanson]

Did Manu blow out a shoe again? :lol

[BillMc]

Where's Manu's head tonight?

[FkLA]

smh Turnobili

[spursparker9]

Give up on the number 1 seed

[TheGreatYacht]

Buford better draft a shooting guard. There ain't one worth a shit on this team

[hater]

:lmao 2013 Miami Heat Manu sighting

[$pursDynasty]

MVParker and the Kingslayer back in now we can win this

[TheGreatYacht]

That's game. Kawhi was invisible

[bklynspursfan]

Good point. Also, it's a back-to-back and you have to keep someone's minutes down. Bet he plays big tomorrow.

Yea for sure. B2B makes even more sense, I didn't realize we played tomorrow lol.

Hopefully we can pull this one out, but we've been bad to start the 4th

[Darius Bieber]

First round sweep exit.

[bklynspursfan]

Simmons did a great job fighting thru that screen. Glad he's playing well tonight..

[spursistan]

Maybe the worst Kawhi game in 2017 in terms of impact both ends..he's really been invisible..

[Horse]

Fucking refs again

[bklynspursfan]

Ok Bertans... Maybe you'll be the spark we need

Bertans in, white flag out

[bklynspursfan]

My god these refs are terrible.

[Darius Bieber]

This is why Kawhi is not an MVP

[jyra]

Desperate times, gotta get offense from somewhere.

Leonard holding his groin. Hope Pop doesn't see it.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bertans plays like a flopping fish.

[TheGreatYacht]

Why the fuck is Bertans in? :lmao

[SAGirl]

Lee not good game to be struggling..

[bklynspursfan]

Silly foul after a big 3 by Simmons.

[$pursDynasty]

Pop going small Lee and Davis vs grit and grind of Gasol Zbo

[DAF86]

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

[TheCultOfPersonality]

First round sweep exit.
They'll beat the Grizzlies if they meet in the 1st round. It's not going 7.

[PopTheGOAT]

Get Bertans off of Randolph NOW
