[r0drig0lac]

[spurraider21]

manu fucking lost on defense. literally abandoned his guy and couldn't find him

[Darius Bieber]

AND MANU MISSED HIS MAN ON D FOR THAT THREE. TAKE HIM OUT.

[ace3g]

LA with another big dunk!!!

[bklynspursfan]

Lma again! Nice strong take

[spurtech09]

LMA has shut me up.

[tholdren]

bench manu. terrible on both ends

[NASpurs]

Kawhi looks like he drank two Red Bulls

[SAGirl]

Lamarcus finally aggressive damn

[weeks]

if manu is this done then RIP popovitch spurs

[bklynspursfan]

These refs are pathetic. Just pathetic

[ElNono]

lol no call for you Leonard

[NASpurs]

Pop probably told LMA that he wanted to see some nasty.

[spurtech09]

ok KL has got fouled so many times and no love.

[pgardn]

LMA showing a pulse

Its alive...

[TheCultOfPersonality]

LaMarcus schooling JaMychal, but having trouble against Randolph who is the worse defender of the 2.

[Strategic]

Unbelievable

[poop]

Reminder: manu still is, bertans and simmons still on bench.

[Russ]

Kawhi trying to do too much.

[tholdren]

how can you fall down with ball and not travel? hilarious

[TampaDude]

Leonard getting mauled and no calls. That's gotta change.

Yeah it's fucking ridiculous.

[Arcadian]

Fucking Manu. All he had to do was NOT leave the corner wide open. Why the hell did he rotate so much?

[Darius Bieber]

Memphis guy was out of bounds saving that ball after Leonard got blocked by Marc. Ref had no eyes on it at all.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

lmao @ Fiz and the pussy fans continuously throwing temper tantrums over physical play.

[SAGirl]

Fizzdale "take that for data"

[Robz4000]

Fuck Manu

[sasaint]

manu fucking lost on defense. literally abandoned his guy and couldn't find him

Pop's senility is the contagious variety.

[skulls138]

LA discovers dunking

[spurtech09]

lol no call for you LeonardTell me about it bro.

[ElNono]

:lmao of course take LMA out now that he's hot

[FkLA]

Why foul him when they're in the penalty? Come on Paddy.

[KDKSpurs24]

Many has to be taken out

[GSH]

Kawhi trying to do too much.

Of course, Gasol was in the restricted circle. That's supposed to be an automatic whistle.

[Darius Bieber]

:lmao of course take LMA out now that he's hot

[FaM0us Skins]

Patty!

[bklynspursfan]

Finally a freaking foul called.

[r0drig0lac]

Mills!!!

[ElNono]

come on Patty

[Horse]

Cocksuckers in the bonus our best player can't get a call on a hip check

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Will Manure ever score again? smhhhhhh

[pgardn]

PATRICK mills

[MultiTroll]

Ginobili instead of Bertans at this point? Please.

[TampaDude]

Patty thrills!!!

[ElNono]

back to fathead smh

[spurtech09]

Green with the flukes

[NASpurs]

Buckwheat Thrills :wow

[bklynspursfan]

:lmao of course take LMA out now that he's hot

Need him in the 4th. Especially with Kawhi likely sitting

[tholdren]

lolololi Anderson

[UZER]

:lmao of course take LMA out now that he's hot

Dude..You cant make this shit up :lol

[TampaDude]

Those fucking ******s can't miss.

[ElNono]

why are we leaving them open?

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I'm so tired of Memphis luck.

[timtonymanu]

Stop leaving their fucking shooters open

[FkLA]

Wide open look after wide open look for Memphis.

[Robz4000]

So much for momentum. Thanks Pop, thanks Manu.

[Darius Bieber]

Why the fuck is Pop killing us with Anderson? Did Simmons fuck his daughter or something?

[testies]

Anderson in, we already trail by 3

[ElNono]

Need him in the 4th. Especially with Kawhi likely sitting

what do you mean sitting? this game right here is for the taking

[Ron Swanson]

We just gave up on guarding against 3s

[poop]

Reminder: manu still in, bertans still on bench.

[spurtech09]

Green wide open again.....that is not going to cut it....

[timtonymanu]

Ok Manu needs to sit. Just a run for Memphis every time he's in

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs 4-16 from three :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Who left that clown wide open smh. Dodged a bullet there...

They're shooting better than 3 from us. That probably has to change this quarter

[tholdren]

coaching at its worst

[Quiet Strength]

Play bertans wtf? Manu cant even score

[Strategic]

Last year pop didn't have a choice but to die with Timmy. This year he's dying with Manu and he has choices.

[Robz4000]

Pop is the only coach in North American sports that actively compromises his team to "make a point" and soothe his own ego.

[ElNono]

:lmao watch Pop bring the entire bench in to start the 4th, sitting Kawhi and LMA out until we're down 12...

[DarrinS]

Manu still scoreless. Damn

[resistanze]

:lmao 3 point defense, WTF?

[pgardn]

We left Green WIDE open?

What is happening.
Pop. Help.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I get the poster not blaming Anderson cause Aldridge was horrible that first half, but gosh he's so awful, no reason not to blame someone who can't play any perimeter defense when the other team cannot freakin miss.

[poop]

Bertans plays 5 min and hits 3 3pointers. Immediately benched. Manu has made a shot THE ENTIRE SERIES and pop keeps him out there whole first half.

[Uriel]

Man, what a game.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Kawhi 6-17
Manure 0-15 in series
Green 0-3 in 3 pointers this game
LMA cold for most of the game

Down by only 3 at the end of the third. We should be able to finish this game with a win

[spurtech09]

Wide open look after wide open look for Memphis.Its part of the plan I guess.

[bklynspursfan]

what do you mean sitting? this game right here is for the taking

I meant like the first 2-3mins of the 4th. 1 of them has to be on the court. So im assuming LMA will start the 4th, so he wanted to get him a quick breather

[SAGirl]

That's twice Lee left J.Green open for 3ss... unless it was in the plan to not guard him at the 3. who knows?

[Raven]

play aldridge the whole 4th for god sake..

[marinoman]

Pops rotations make me queezy

[mclinejr]

We need LMA for the 4th. Chill everyone.

[spurtech09]

Time to put in Bertans and Simmons.

[spursistan]

Imagine the rape vs Houston after this team defensive collapse..:lol

[Budkin]

Grizz need to blow it open and get it over with.

[ElNono]

I meant like the first 2-3mins of the 4th. 1 of them has to be on the court. So im assuming LMA will start the 4th, so he wanted to get him a quick breather

he shouldn't sit anybody... they rested the whole 2nd half last game

[spurraider21]

inb4 bertans doesnt see another minute in the 2nd half

[poop]

Pop is a straight up retard. Stubborn asshole

[Darius Bieber]

Grizz need to blow it open and get it over with.

[$pursDynasty]

Why that lineup was in, I have no idea, hopefully will be different to start the fourth. Either KingSlayer or MVParker needs to be in at all times in the fourth.

[PopTheGOAT]

Poor defensive rotations still

[gambit1990]

manu: 0-4 from three
bertans: 1-1

[FkLA]

Stop calling it luck or bullshit shots. Memphis is getting wide ass open shots.

[Robz4000]

Imagine the rape vs Houston after this team defensive collapse..:lol

This team is in serious danger of not even getting to that point.

[HI-FI]

Kawhi 6-17
Manure 0-15 in series
Green 0-3 in 3 pointers this game
LMA cold for most of the game

Down by only 3 at the end of the third. We should be able to finish this game with a win
Yeah, also considering Grizzlies are getting a lot of favorable calls and shots.

[pgardn]

:lmao watch Pop bring the entire bench in to start the 4th, sitting Kawhi and LMA out until we're down 12...

LMA was seriously tired. But I would start him 4th. Call a play for him and lay down the Ultimatatium. Backdown whoever and draw a foul or quickly out and somebody better hit a 3.

and please watch for the flipping press to begin the 4th

[Robz4000]

Stop calling it luck or bullshit shots. Memphis is getting wide ass open shots.

This. They're an NBA team ffs.

[marinoman]

Kawhi 6-17
Manure 0-15 in series
Green 0-3 in 3 pointers this game
LMA cold for most of the game

Down by only 3 at the end of the third. We should be able to finish this game with a win
Not if pop keeps going with Manu and green

[tholdren]

Pop is a straight up retard. Stubborn asshole

most frustrating coach to watch

[DMC]

Role players always hit at home. That where they earn their money. Manu needs to get fouled so he can go to the line and get some shots up. His confidence is shot.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Spurs got this.

[bklynspursfan]

Pop wanted that Patty 3 lol

[quentin_compson]

The scary part is that the Spurs are competing, they just are not much better than this right now. The Grizzlies are shooting better than expected, though.

[cd98]

Well Spurs generally play better in the 4th than the 3rd.

[daslicer]

Imagine the rape vs Houston after this team defensive collapse..:lol

Houston is great offensive team but shitty defensive team. It's Memphis physical defense that really bothers the Spurs. Houston doesn't have the ability to play that type of defense with the spurs.

[poop]

4th q...manu still in.

Bertans on bench.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Simmons sighting!

[sasaint]

LMA has shut me up.

Lamarcus finally aggressive damn

Gonna take more consistency than a couple of big dunks for me to hop aboard the band wagon.

[Darius Bieber]

Manu fouling a three point shooter hahahaha. Lucky no call there, GET HIM OFF

[bklynspursfan]

Still no foul...

[spurtech09]

LOL the NBA needs new refs.

[cd98]

Terrible line up. Are we conceding?

[kaji157]

Why in the hell did pop needed to try new rotations during a playoff series.

[ElNono]

:lmao watch Pop bring the entire bench in to start the 4th, sitting Kawhi and LMA out until we're down 12...


:lmao watch Pop bring the entire bench in to start the 4th, sitting Kawhi and LMA out until we're down 12...


:lmao watch Pop bring the entire bench in to start the 4th, sitting Kawhi and LMA out until we're down 12...

[spurraider21]

simmons is reckless on offense and cant shoot... bad matchup against grizz. bertans is a much better fit

[NASpurs]

Are the Spurs playing tomorrow? Is this a 4 games in 5 nights? Why aren't Kawhi and LMA in there while ZBo and Conley are?

[bklynspursfan]

Pau is getting mauled... no calls

[spurtech09]

Spurs need some 3's

[TampaDude]

Grizz are better than us.

[testies]

Lee is the worst finisher in history

[ElNono]

:lmao watch Pop bring the entire bench in to start the 4th, sitting Kawhi and LMA out until we're down 12...

[Darius Bieber]

LMAO Spurs. Hopefully Memphis backdoor sweeps them so we can see some change.

[tholdren]

get manu out

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Mills screwing us over with these misses, and refs hating on Pau.

[FaM0us Skins]

:bang

[spurtech09]

Why is Manu out there?

[spurraider21]

:lmao watch Pop bring the entire bench in to start the 4th, sitting Kawhi and LMA out until we're down 12...tbh. then postgame he'll call the team soft

[BatManu20]

Dammit David. Huge 5-Pt swing

[pgardn]

Role players always hit at home. That where they earn their money. Manu needs to get fouled so he can go to the line and get some shots up. His confidence is shot.

He will not drive.
Good luck with that.

[SpurPadre]

What a fucking disaster

[mclinejr]

Somebody make a shot.

[timtonymanu]

You just know this fucking team is gonna lose this game already. They're the most predictable team.

[$pursDynasty]

Pop and this bullshit lineup buying time for a loss

[Robz4000]

Fuck Pop. What a giant piece of shit.

[Ron Swanson]

:pop: We need Kawhi for Tuesday. It's important to limit his minutes.

[TampaDude]

No Timmay, no chance.

[ElNono]

Grizz always has one of Conley or Gasol out there... Poop is too cool for school for that

[Horse]

Only thing I can figure is the Rockets/warriors would be a ratings dream for the nba.

[FkLA]

:pctoss

[sasaint]

Spurs got this.

Are you sure you are a Grizzlies fan.

[bklynspursfan]

Lee is the worst finisher in history

This couldnt be further from the truth lol he has finished beautifully around the rim all season

[UZER]

Everyone Manu is guarding is hitting 3s.

[Darius Bieber]

Fire Pop. Fuck it. Send a message and his sorry ass out of here.

[PopTheGOAT]

Pop asked for it and he got it

[DarrinS]

Bertans?

[resistanze]

David Lee with the momentum changer.

[cd98]

It's ok to play the bench but that combo was awful. How did Pop think that would work.

[mclinejr]

This isn't 2014 anymore. The bench is not going to win the game.

[Rummpd]

Game over

[SAGirl]

Lee has not been good. ... Can anyone get a hand up on Troy Daniels? he's the Grizzlies Bryn Forbes... shooting is about the only thing he can do and guys are not guarding him.

[rasuo214]

LMA at only 27 minutes, why was he not on the court at the start of the 4th?

[Leetonidas]

Spurs have no shot against GS playing at this level

[daslicer]

Manu needs to retire after these playoffs. He's have a '16 Duncan like playoff series.

[pgardn]

LMAO Spurs. Hopefully Memphis backdoor sweeps them so we can see some change.

You wanted change during the 2014 championship season.

STFU.

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi/LMA/TP about to bring it home for us

[bbarry]

This might be a 8-10 pt lead for the Spurs if they quit missing so many damn uncontested looks.

[SPURt]

Missing good shot after good shot. What the hell?

[spurtech09]

Grizzlies are so Lucky right now.

[Pauleta14]

Basically by choosing to let the game be physical the refs/nba decided to take Memphis side...

That's the only way they have a shot.

[baseline bum]

Manu's having fucking siesta every time Daniels steps to the three point line

[TampaDude]

Even if by some miracle we get by the Grizz, the Rox or Dubs will ass rape us.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

We need Scotty Pippen

[kaji157]

To say something in pops favor, Memphis is shooting the 3 like they never did before.

[sasaint]

Spurs need some 3's

Not happening tonight with Bertans on the bench.

[rudwick]

Everyone Manu is supposed to be guarding is hitting 3s.

FIFY

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs have no shot against GS playing at this level

They don't have a shot against Memphis either.

[KDKSpurs24]

Manu has to go.

[UZER]

Spurs have no shot against GS playing at this level

I agree, but nobody plays as physical as the Grizz though.

[ace3g]

It's #LatvianDurant (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23LatvianDurant) time again, hopefully for more than 2 minutes...

[SPURt]

Manu needs to retire after these playoffs. He's have a '16 Duncan like playoff series.
Duncan never looked as bad as Ginobili in this series

[hitmanyr2k]

I'm loving the hell out of this series. Just about every other series is void of defense. These teams at least make you feel like you're watching a playoff series.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Even if by some miracle we get by the Grizz, the Rox or Dubs will ass rape us.

This was no secret since pre season, well maybe not Houston so much but GSW

[Pauleta14]

If the rest of the series is physical like that we're not going to win another game.

[spurtech09]

Spurs have no shot against GS playing at this level
Are the Spurs even going to make it to the 3rd round?

[$pursDynasty]

How a coach that never uses rookies can also take all of his starters out for extended minutes in the playoffs

[baseline bum]

Spurs have no shot against GS playing at this level

They have no shot at Golden State anyways.

[spursistan]

Why the is Kawhi not playing 42-43 minutes in this fuckin game is beyond me..This coach has completely lost the plot..It's insane how he's overthinking this shit..

[SAGirl]

This team has an identity crisis. Pop needs to play the younger players but he didn't rely on them the entire season.. not really.

Now he doesn't even know who to sub, who works with who, etc.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Grit and Grind never dies!!

[Ron Swanson]

Danny :lol

[spurtech09]

Green stinking it up.

[rudwick]

They're doing pretty well considering how much Pop is playing the corpse of Manu Ginobili.

[baseline bum]

Greenobili suck

[noles1983]

TRASSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TEAM

[BatManu20]

D-League Danny. Woof

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Troy Daniels is one of the most clutch 3 point shooters ever in the playoffs. Never forget how he single handedly won an overtime playoff game in Houston-Portland in 2014.

[Ron Swanson]

That's off Z-Bo

[cd98]

Green used to be so deadly from three.

[TampaDude]

NO TIMMAY, NO CHANCE!!!!!

[spurtech09]

ugh looks terrible out there.

[BatManu20]

Our Guards are 1-12 from 3 tonight. Can't win that way. Need to start knocking down some shots yesterday

[SAGirl]

Bertans great job on Zbo.
Lee just can't deal with him.
Just play Bertans the rest of the series.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Randolph. You shoot under 25% from 3. Cut that out.

[Darius Bieber]

On to Game 5.

[spurtech09]

well maybe spurs have a chance at home :(

[SpurPadre]

They just want it more

[bklynspursfan]

3 point shooting is the difference tonight.

[SAGirl]

Great Job BERTANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[D-Wade]

A physical game where the refs are swallowing the whistles will favor Memphis, even if it's called "evenly." Smart move by Fiz

[spurtech09]

forget it gameover

[SAGirl]

Spurs can still win this.

[baseline bum]

Manu needs to retire after these playoffs. He's have a '09 Roger Mason like playoff series.

fify

[ElNono]

i waaaannnaaa beeeee youuuurrrr hheeeeerrrrrooooo baaaaabbbbyyyyy

[timtonymanu]

When Memphis has a better looking offense than you, you know you're fucked

[SpurPadre]

And thats game

[kaji157]

And Kawhi is playing like shit, horrible selection and ball movement.

[pgardn]

We look exhausted.

[TampaDude]

2-2

[bklynspursfan]

Bertans great job on Zbo.
Lee just can't deal with him.
Just play Bertans the rest of the series.

Bertans got lucky on Zbos 3, he was super slow fighting thru the screen. Zbo scored on Lee, but also this is Zbo 3.5 quarters in. Different physicality

[resistanze]

This team's a fucking mess :lol

[NASpurs]

D League Danny missing once again

[spurtech09]

No more Danny Green

[pgardn]

And Kawhi is playing like shit, horrible selection and ball movement.

He is having to do way too much.
And he's not there yet...

[gambit1990]

tony misses a shot and jogs back on defense only to let his man score.

[kaji157]

Takes a shot, misses it, falls to the ground, doesnt get back in defense, classic parker.

[SAGirl]

Danny is also cold tonight... shame.
that was a nice pass by Davis too.

[bklynspursfan]

Our shooters just suck tonight. Thats what this is tonight. Sometimes its that simple, but we just cant get open 3s to fall

[r0drig0lac]

Danny in this moment is a poors man Tony Allen

[spurtech09]

We look exhausted.Spurs look old.

[hsxvvd]

Pop's had them practising on 8ft rings all week.

[TampaDude]

Cavs-Dubs Finals. I just laid $25,000 on it.

[bklynspursfan]

Green hits that, but not open 3s. Ok then

[Robz4000]

We're getting backdoor swept. Again.

[$pursDynasty]

Pop frustrates the crap out of me

[NASpurs]

And 1 for LDN :lol

[loveforthegame]

That pass. Holy moly. Way to finish Green.

[SAGirl]

Kawhi tremendous pass to Danny.
Danny great finish with contact.
:claw

[spurtech09]

Spurs D is bad....Where is Dedmon when you need him.

[sasaint]

They just want it more

Not that simple. Spurs aren't missing wide open 3s because the Grizz want it more.

[bklynspursfan]

Finally start getting fouls on our favor.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Green can score at the hoop!

[quentin_compson]

The Spurs are just damn poor in this game. Some of it is not hitting good looks, granted, but still.

[spurtech09]

ATleast Tony is not giving up.

[SAGirl]

Spurs will win this.

[spurtech09]

Tony and 1

[bklynspursfan]

Dam TP
