2017 Playoffs (WC/R1) Game 2 Thread: Spurs vs Grizzlies (8:30 PM CT/4:30 Riga/TNT)

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs are still going to win tbh.

Yeah but now Memphis has hope heading into Game 3.

[bklynspursfan]

Why the fuck is this our lineup right now? ALWAYS have one of Leonard/Aldridge/Gasol on the floor...

Aldridge was on the floor.

[SAGirl]

Kawhi thanks for saving this debacle.
:claw

[Darius Bieber]

The Grizz from the second quarter onwards are putting on a clinic on how to easily stop the Spurs offense.

[140]

Grizz bailing the spurms out tbh

[SpurPadre]

Conley traveled, and they missed an illegal screen by Carter. Glad it didn't result in points

We can't really complain about the refs tonight, tbh.

[hater]

Damn win or lose tonight Memphis is going to go medieval on us Game 3 we better win this game or we lose the series

[TheDoctor]

Take us home Kawhi

[InRareForm]

still wondering why ginobili tried to be curry on that shot

[100%duncan]

Anyone else noticed that Marc gasol is quite a bitch to his teammates?

[SAGirl]

Nah, Spurs relaxed after the first half and were not prepared for the pressure the Grizz finally brought to the series.
It's probably for the better bc non competitive basketball in blowouts wasn't going to be a good test.

[UZER]

It's scary how easy it is to take the Spurs out of their offense.

Yup, pop leaves Manu in when he's playing for the other team.

[ElNono]

fell asleep at the half... wtf...

[bklynspursfan]

Yeah but now Memphis has hope heading into Game 3.

Who cares about their hope. If anything making us work and not assume all games are a blowout is better for us. They'll be even more focused for Game 3, cause they'll have some stuff to adjust to/from and correct.

[Chews]

Damn win or lose tonight Memphis is going to go medieval on us Game 3 we better win this game or we lose the series

det logik

[Robz4000]

Spurs lose this game most, if not all, of the blame rests on Manu and Patty's shoulders. They did not come ready to play tonight, albeit the signs were on the wall the last few weeks of the season for them.

[Keepin' it real]

Yeah but now Memphis has hope heading into Game 3.

They can fill their bucket with all the hope in the world ... won't matter.

[8FOR!3]

Damn win or lose tonight Memphis is going to go medieval on us Game 3 we better win this game or we lose the series

Honestly no if we win this game we drain them

[Trainwreck2100]

fell asleep at the half... wtf...

your client didn't do much to help the situation in case you were wondering

[hater]

Our playoffs are riding on these last couple minutes

We lose this game and we going fishing

[John Petrucci]

Knew as soon as I saw that beginning 4th q lineup it was going down to wire

[sasaint]

Yup, pop leaves Manu in when he's playing for the other team.

[bklynspursfan]

We can't really complain about the refs tonight, tbh.

Meh. I guess. It's been physical both ways. Those just seemed so obvious

[Budkin]

Who cares about their hope. If anything making us work and not assume all games are a blowout is better for us. They'll be even more focused for Game 3, cause they'll have some stuff to adjust to/from and correct.

We pull this shit against the Rockets and we'll lose by 20

[ElNono]

your client didn't do much to help the situation in case you were wondering

I bet... HOTS was dominating, I thought we got this

[FkLA]

Spurs defense has picked up these last few possessions. Relaxed a bit after the big lead.

[bklynspursfan]

Parker! Great passing all around there

[Silver&Black]

H.O.T.S.

[ElNono]

HOTS

[FkLA]

HOTS

[UZER]

fell asleep at the half... wtf...

:lol convenient

[Strategic]

It's KL time

[SAGirl]

Hots this series... Got to give it to him
:toast

[ElNono]

damn Manu don't hurt yourself

[Silver&Black]

:worthy: Det Manu hustle

[TheDoctor]

Liking this Paddy on the bench lineup tbh

[Chews]

So many weak pussies on this board, tbh, fwiw

[TheCultOfPersonality]

This untalented low BBIQ scrub Harrison letting Parker do whatever he wants.

[spursgu]

Yeah but now Memphis has hope heading into Game 3.

As much hope as you growing a pair.

[ElNono]

:lol convenient

:lol come on game was a snorefest

[GSH]

Mucking Fanu.

[Benoit]

hahaha ginobili flop and of course they get the call

pathetic

[Silver&Black]

:td Det Manu pass

[bklynspursfan]

We pull this shit against the Rockets and we'll lose by 20

We get up big on the Rockets, they aren't going to defend this way. They'll get hot, but it it'll also be easier for us to score too.

[Trainwreck2100]

Yeah but now Memphis has hope heading into Game 3.

conley's gonna be gassed memphis don't have a bench, and fizzys probably gonna start randolph, and the spurs have been better on the road than at home

[FkLA]

Manu chant :cry

[FaM0us Skins]

Lol

[DAF86]

All that Manu chant just to have the bald fuck turn it over. :lol

[$pursDynasty]

Turnobili

[BatManu20]

Poop.

[Chews]

Idk whats more annoying, the people who are shook when we are up 5... or the Griz bench jumping up and down begging for fouls every time down the court.

[hater]

:lmao Manure

What the fuck is she doing???

[TheGreatYacht]

Aldridge getting skull fucked in the paint. Getting backed to the circle like Randolph is prime Shaq

[John Petrucci]

Gino in game 6 mode. Impressive help for Grizz off bench

[Robz4000]

For the love of God please bench Manu and keep Mills on the bench, Pop.

[daslicer]

hahaha ginobili flop and of course they get the call

pathetic

Kool not as pathetic as the phantom fouls your lakers used to get during the '00s.

[Trainwreck2100]

manu they chanting your name.....and then you fuck up

[Texas_Ranger]

a 2nd round exit team looking like a 2nd round exit team...

[100%duncan]

Manu giveth Manu taketh away

[ducks]

Will Manu score?

[bklynspursfan]

Idk whats more annoying, the people who are shook when we are up 5... or the Griz bench jumping up and down begging for fouls every time down the court.

Def the paranoid fans. Grizz are just hoping for anything positive

[Darius Bieber]

Yeah Spurs will lose both games at Memphis for sure

[Uriel]

Just checking in. Last I checked, Spurs were up 20+. WTF happened.

[Chews]

The labeled "most physical team" can't handle it when opponents play physical against them? Good god they want a foul call for every touch

[$pursDynasty]

Crybaby Bron

[100%duncan]

Dude... Just give it to Kawhi and let him work. Stop being too cute letting manu handle the ball

[Play Boban]

Porker the Hero is shooting us out of the game.

[InRareForm]

what is the shooting % for the grizz this half?

[TheDoctor]

This Pop's TO was meh

[hater]

Just checking in. Last I checked, Spurs were up 20+. WTF happened.

We were up 28 :lmao

If we complete the meltdown it will be one for the record books :lol

[Spur|n|Austin]

Bunch of scared posters in here, smh.

[TampaDude]

Just checking in. Last I checked, Spurs were up 20+. WTF happened.

I started watching.

[sasaint]

:lmao Manure

What the fuck is she doing???

:tu :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Porker the Hero is shooting us out of the game.

You forgot the blue font.....

[daslicer]

The turnovers are killing the Spurs. It's one thing to miss shots but its another to give them free points by turning over the ball.

[SpurPadre]

hahaha ginobili flop and of course they get the call

pathetic

Lol, says fan of the kings of illegal screens that never get called.

[Strategic]

Hustle negated by boneheadedness

[$pursDynasty]

Porker the Hero is shooting us out of the game.
Nah more like Evita turnovers

[John Petrucci]

a 2nd round exit team looking like a 2nd round exit team...

You're right. If I'm just at peace with that this all makes sense

[Silver&Black]

Long Dick Nigga

[BillMc]

Bunch of scared posters in here, smh.

[Play Boban]

Ganja 3!

[FkLA]

Porker the Hero is shooting us out of the game.

LMA: 7 FGAs
Kawhi: 12 FGAs
Hero: 14 FGAs

14:1 FGA to assist ratio :lol

[UZER]

Hope everyone realizes this is a sign of things to come. Manu is shitting the bed against the grizz and Pop will not pull him.

Wait they play the rockets or Warriors.

[TampaDude]

OT is coming. Grizz will win and win the series in 6. Book it.

[bklynspursfan]

This Pop's TO was meh

Got a good look out of it tbh

[bklynspursfan]

OT is coming. Grizz will win and win the series in 6. Book it.

Lmao! This might be the best yet. (Not counting Darius Bieber)

[Play Boban]

Nah more like Evita turnovers
2 turnovers?

good to see Poop had benched Porker.

[100%duncan]

LONG DICK

[FkLA]

:claw

[SAGirl]

Manu almost single-handedly reduced our lead from 26 to 19 at the end of the first half. Has Patty scored yet?
Patty
0-7... only scored those 3 FT that he was gifted.
Manu
0-4
... Luckily Danny is having the game of his life and Tony had been hot and playing well.

And Kawhi is a legit MVP:claw

[sasaint]

We were up 28 :lmao

If we complete the meltdown it will be one for the record books :lol

26 was max.

[GSH]

Danny wants this one at least.

[ElNono]

looking at the boxscore, why the Manu hate, tbh? 3 steals, only 2 TOs, 3 assists, 4 rebounds...

[Spur|n|Austin]

Cannot say enough about Danny's defense!

[Silver&Black]

:worthy: MVPau

[Play Boban]

LMA: 7 FGAs
Kawhi: 12 FGAs
Hero: 14 FGAs

14:1 FGA to assist ratio :lol
:lol

One assist, two turnovers. A 1:2 assist to turnover ratio. That's not even D League worthy.

Well, Poop benches Porker and the Spurs salt the game, tbh. :wow

[Robz4000]

LDN, Gasol, and Kawhi righting the ship.

[ElNono]

We have the right Gasol, tbh

[TheGreatYacht]

Start MVPau if they want to start Marc and Randolph

[dabom]

Patty Magic Mills.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

the Grizzlies have the lowest BBIQ in the league when it comes to 3 point defense.

[bklynspursfan]

You guys feel better? Smh

[140]

MVPatty playmaking :wow

[TampaDude]

Lmao! This might be the best yet. (Not counting Darius Bieber)

Laugh now, but you'll be crying later when you realize I'm right.

[SpurPadre]

That's game, motherfuckers.

[Silver&Black]

why the Manu hate, tbh?Are you new here?

[SAGirl]

Pau GAsollllllllll

[TheDoctor]

MVPau

[100%duncan]

Dirk NOWITZKI

[FkLA]

Jesus christ MVPau's 3PT shot is so fucking pure.

[Uriel]

WTF they have towels. Is this the Finals? :lol

[Benoit]

spurs so lucky that tony allen isnt playing

Kobe said hes the best defender he ever played against

Leonard would be having his usual playoff choke if he was on

[Budkin]

Too close for comfort. Whew...

[bklynspursfan]

Laugh now, but you'll be crying later when you realize I'm right.

That's a helluva reverse Jynx. There's no chance of this happening

[GSH]

looking at the boxscore, why the Manu hate, tbh? 3 steals, only 2 TOs, 3 assists, 4 rebounds...

He's just made some really poor pass choices. I think they didn't credit him one TO. No hate, but I'm going to comment when he does something dumb, just like anyone else.

[BillMc]

Danny playin' a hell of a series so far.

[ElNono]

Are you new here?

:lol missed the 3rd, tbh... there's legit reasons to be mad at gino here and there, tbh

[sasaint]

Patty
0-7... only scored those 3 FT that he was gifted.
Manu
0-4
... Luckily Danny is having the game of his life and Tony had been hot and playing well.

And Kawhi is a legit MVP:claw

Danny's second game of his life, tbh. :toast

[unleashbaynes]

MVPau :wow

[Play Boban]

MVPatty the real hero :wow

[TampaDude]

Trade Parker, tbh.

[Chinook]

Danny playin' a hell of a series so far.

Irreplaceable.

Trade Porker, tbh.

[TheRemix]

When pau lets it fly, you just know it's going in

[GSH]

LOL... the butthurt is strong with you. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Danny's second game of his life, tbh. :toast

Ha.. yea. Danny's still not where he was at his best. Maybe best of 2017. 2013 was something special

[TampaDude]

That's a helluva reverse Jynx. There's no chance of this happening

Shhhh...don't ruin it...

[Robz4000]

Danny playin' a hell of a series so far.

Always trust in LDN come playoff time.

[Play Boban]

it's a playoff thread. You know the things we've seen.Yeah, 5 titles in the last 20 years. It's been rough. :cry

[UZER]

looking at the boxscore, why the Manu hate, tbh? 3 steals, only 2 TOs, 3 assists, 4 rebounds...

Do they track needless gambles that result is easy buckets for the grizz?

[Trainwreck2100]

looking at the boxscore, why the Manu hate, tbh? 3 steals, only 2 TOs, 3 assists, 4 rebounds...
if you watched the game he's a big reason the spurs gave up the lead, missed some key open shots

[140]

MVPatty the real hero :wow

[Leetonidas]

Shitty laker troll getting ignored continually :lol

[BillMc]

Irreplaceable.
Yep.

[bklynspursfan]

Dude had his jersey. Freaking Miller "idk about that" hilarious

[timtonymanu]

There's something about Fizdale that annoys me. Even during his assistant days in Miami.

[sasaint]

Danny wants this one at least.

Curry-deep.

[GSH]

Spurs have dialed up their defensive intensity and energy a lot.

[kjhip1]

Gasol's shot is so nice to look at when he's set. I never expect him to miss now when shoots that three at the top

[Benoit]

woooow another bad call hahaha

[ducks]

Mills o points

[SpurPadre]

WTF Patty?

[Horse]

Anyone have any legit reason Reggie hates our Spurs?

[Capster]

Goddamn it. Anytime I give this team the benefit of the doubt they go back to their soft choking ways.
Yee of so little Faith! Pansy ass?

if you watched the game he's a big reason the spurs gave up the lead, missed some key open shots

I said I didn't watch the 3rd... but he's +6 and took only 4 shots... kinda weird he's the reason we gave up the lead

[GSH]

Do they track needless gambles that result is easy buckets for the grizz?

Yeah, he's done a few of those, too. And seriously bricked some 3's that weren't necessary.

[DAF86]

That Patty contest. :wow

[TheDoctor]

LMAO Paddy

Patty mills in the paint. :wow

Get a bucket. Go up 15....start subbing in the scrubs.

[ElNono]

heh

I did... I did

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Do the Spurs have the refs on their payroll? :lol il take it but wow

[FkLA]

STFU Reggie. You fucking faggot.

[bklynspursfan]

LMAO... These guys are complaining about obvious stuff. Hilarious

[Play Boban]

if you watched the game he's a big reason the spurs gave up the lead, missed some key open shots
+6.

[DAF86]

That superstar treatment. Feels good man.

[InRareForm]

probably was a jump ball lol

[ElNono]

Yeah, he's done a few of those, too. And seriously bricked some 3's that weren't necessary.

Ill take your word for it

[100%duncan]

Memphis bitch more than the clippers

[UZER]

I said I didn't watch the 3rd... but he's +6 and took only 4 shots... kinda weird he's the reason we gave up the lead

You pulling a mid?

[Robz4000]

Spurs are getting ridiculous home cooking tonight.

[GSH]

Grizz strategy was to maul Kawhi, and then act surprised when he gets to the FT line? I guess it would be nice to have a get out of jail free card all night.

[Silver&Black]

Kawhi getting beard treatment

:lobt2: upcoming if he starts getting beard treatment

[bklynspursfan]

There we go Patty

[TheDoctor]

Superstar calls tbh

Them 19FTs

[Chinook]

Fizdale needs to start getting techs for how he acts on the sideline.

[100%duncan]

STFU Reggie. You fucking faggot.

You should really watch the spurs feed. They stop at the 2nd round right

[ElNono]

You pulling a mid?

No, I'll take GSH's word for it... I know he doesn't have an agenda :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Fatty mills 1/9 :wow

[Silver&Black]

MVPatty stat padding

[SpurPadre]

That was nice of Marc to pass it to his brother

[sasaint]

That superstar treatment. Feels good man.

I could get used to it ... for a change!

[Cry Havoc]

Dagger from Mills.

[FkLA]

Baby Gasol gets Kawhichael across the elbow and acts shocked after they call a foul. :lol

[BatManu20]

Kawhi's been great obviously but he's had a few lazy passes that have resulted in TO's.

[dabom]

Fatty mills 1/9 :wow

Still better closer than porker. :lmao

[ElNono]

How bitter is Kool/Benoit right now, tbh? :lol

He thought the Grizz had a chance for a min...

[Trainwreck2100]

Spurs are getting ridiculous home cooking tonight.

absofuckinglutely Grizz fans gotta be legit pissed about this one

[timtonymanu]

Fizdale needs to start getting techs for how he acts on the sideline.

Exactly. What an amateur. Always hated his cheap yelling at 3 point shooters tactic he join in with other players in Miami.

[UZER]

No, I'll take GSH's word for it... I know he doesn't have an agenda :lol

Unlike you and me both. :lol

[BillMc]

Kawhi Harden

Kool was blowing his load during the Grizz run.

[GSH]

OH FUCK YOU PENNIS! :claw

[Barfunk]

Mayun!!!! Exclam!

[ElNono]

Unlike you and me both. :lol

:lol :toast

[John Petrucci]

Don't understand the disbelief/obsession with people cliff jumping when we were up 26 and it got to 5 early in 4th, zero offensive rhythm. It's the playoffs. We're going to freak out.

kawhi finishing em off nicely :toast

[TheDoctor]

:claw:wow

[Silver&Black]

There is no reason for the regulars to be in right now.

Agreed. Even though we got a Kawhi poster out of it....

[DAF86]

I love the fact that Kawhi threw that monster slam after all the fairweather fans left the fuck out.

[Cry Havoc]

That's one of the best dunks of the year. Holy shit.

[spurs1990]

Leonard has a future in San Antonio

[Play Boban]

He can hit 19 free throws all he wants, but he can never make the free throw that cost us 6 tbh,

[FkLA]

You should really watch the spurs feed. They stop at the 2nd round right

I'm an HD snob so I usually tune in to ESPN/TNT but yeah if they have Reggie on again I might have to go with FSSW, tbh.

[Benoit]

How bitter is Kool/Benoit right now, tbh? :lol

He thought the Grizz had a chance for a min...

lmao im cheering for the spurs

They would be our easiest matchup in the wcfs

im way more scared of Houston

Victory!:flag:

[Robz4000]

absofuckinglutely Grizz fans gotta be legit pissed about this one

I'd bet good money the Spurs are gonna get obliterated by the refs in Memphis. Grizz are gonna come out with real fire too. If the Spurs find a way to win that one I'm gonna be impressed as fuck.

[Play Boban]

Dirk went 24/24 from the line in the 2011 playoffs tbh.

[John Petrucci]

Reggie loves Kawhi

[Darius Bieber]

Nice to see Spurrefs for a change tbh

[daslicer]

Why would you care about who the Warriors face in the WCF? :lol Your Lakers are not there but instead competing for ping pong balls.

[UZER]

Those bottom rows are fucken disgraceful

Yes sir. Gotta beat the line to Chacos.

[Robz4000]

Agreed. Even though we got a Kawhi poster out of it....

Poster kinda worries me. Don't want the Grizz getting even more bulletin board material.

[Silver&Black]

Spurs up 2-0 in the series. Win 96-82.

[SpurPadre]

We earned the win but this was the most help I ever seen from the refs, tbh. If we get this help against the Golden State Illegal Screeners, they have no shot against us.

[GSH]

Ill take your word for it


Yeah, I commented on a couple of them in the game thread. A lot of it was just bad timing. With a big lead, there's no need to get fancy. It's great when it works, but when it doesn't it lets the other team get some momentum. Unnecessary.

But he's still freaking Manu. That loose ball he tracked down was vintage.

Memphis has now wasted a career game from gasol and a renaissance game from randolph. As for the game in Memphis I imagine Danny Green will be the one saddled with foul trouble, no way the refs put kawhi on the bench. I don't expect the Spurs to play as bad as they did today on the road though.

I fear you are correct, sir. We will have to be more physical than we were for a lot of this game.

[PopTheGOAT]

??? This isn't 2009. Lakers ain't getting to the WCF.

Maybe the NBA can have a NIT/losers bracket so you still have a team to watch while the playoffs are going on

[GSH]

We earned the win but this was the most help I ever seen from the refs, tbh. If we get this help against the Golden State Illegal Screeners, they have no shot against us.


I said it during the game - the Griz' strategy was to go hard after Kawhi. And Kawhi isn't some chump that they can just pickpocket at will. He forced them to foul him. That's what happens when you commit to that kind of a game plan against a great player.

There were plenty of missed calls on both ends.

You gotta figure their roleplayers will wake up a bit. Douglas/Ennis/Selden will not continue to play this bad, and Vinsanity looks like he might be waking up too.

True but he often doesn't get the benefit of the doubt from the refs because he's so quiet. Even TD said that last year.

[GSH]

:lmao that LMA statline holy shit

Randolph and Gasol are a load. Marc Gasol was 4-15. LMA didn't get many attempts, but they were beating the shit out of him of the ball. Not good line from Aldridge, but not that surprising.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

True but he often doesn't get the benefit of the doubt from the refs because he's so quiet. Even TD said that last year.

TD got less calls despite his "That's a fucking foul!" schtick every time there was a no-call.

[SAGirl]

Glad to get this win bc the team needed it.
Every game counts and one doesn't want to give anyone confidence.
They just slacked after the first half blowout and weren't prepared for the real playoff basketball is all.
The pressure caused TO, Spurs got out of their offense... etc.

This game helps to make them sharper and better.

42 minutes played and LMA gets 8 shots; Different world than Portland. I'm impressed he's been professional after a diva rep in Oregon. And his d tonight was seriously good

[Barfunk]

I'm definitely not complaining at the Spurrefs tonight. Spurs have been fucked in the ass many many times over the years by inserteamhere_refs over the years.

Kawhi is a beast and hasn't peaked yet.
