Game Thread: Spurs vs Grizz — Wed. (11/21) - 7:30/C (3:30am Riga Time)

[RC_Drunkford]

LaMarcus can't get a fuckin call

[NASpurs]

Pop politicking the official. You can tell he’s telling them about the inconsistencies of calls on both sides of the court

[bklynspursfan]

Pop politicking the official. You can tell he’s telling them about the inconsistencies of calls on both sides of the court

It's true. They're not giving us the same calls. That Conley flop vs Aldridge being bumped by Gasol was so bad

[NASpurs]

Fathead doesn’t want to shoot

[Robz4000]

:lmao refs

[sasaint]

Sucks having a 7-footer who can't dunk.

[SpurPadre]

DeRozan shrinking in the 4th again...smh

[bklynspursfan]

1065449432949366784

[Robz4000]

Spurs have absolutely no one who can guard Conley.

[SpurPadre]

Fathead doesn’t want to shoot

I wish Forbes had that mindset

[bklynspursfan]

DeRozan shrinking in the 4th again...smh

How?

[Spurs fever]

Can't get no calls

[bklynspursfan]

Spurs have absolutely no one who can guard Conley.

The guy who could is at home, getting over his gold digging ex

[RC_Drunkford]

We'd be up 20 if it wasn't for these refs

[sasaint]

Rudy has made some nice weak side switches when one of our midgets has been stuck on Marc.

[Spurtacular]

Mills too neutered to pull up for the open three?

[bklynspursfan]

Rudy has made some nice weak side switches when one of our midgets has been stuck on Marc.

Yup, he's been doing it all game. He's really evolving as a player this year

[Robz4000]

The guy who could is at home, getting over his gold digging ex

Doesn't change the fact they don't have one.

[sasaint]

Yup, he's been doing it all game. He's really evolving as a player this year

Saved us a few points, without a doubt. Doesn't show in the boxscore...

[bklynspursfan]

Stop bitching JB, that was obvious

[bklynspursfan]

Doesn't change the fact they don't have one.

Ok

[RC_Drunkford]

Grizzlies fouling the shit out of LA and DeRozan, yet when our players have their feet set and a Grizzlies player runs them over it's a blocking foul

[sasaint]

DeMar and LMA not on the same page gonna cost us the game.

[Ron Swanson]

Holy shit

[NASpurs]

DDR :wow

[Robz4000]

:wow DDR actually being clutch

[bklynspursfan]

That was a travel but man. DeRozan with that clutch shot

[sasaint]

DeMar saved a trash possession.

[DAF86]

Please, no Mills and Forbes for defense in this last possession. Get at least Cunningham for one of them. White could also get in for the other.

[bic50]

Grizz and Spurs always have great games

[Spurs fever]

DeMar!

[Genovaswitness]

after throwing that fucking retarded pass this is the least derozan can do

[bklynspursfan]

Guard the shit out of Conley

[NASpurs]

Incoming Conley dagger

[Spurtacular]

Oh, mama!

[Spurs fever]

Please play defense!

[Rocalcio]

Demar !!

[NASpurs]

:lmao foul

[bklynspursfan]

:wow DDR actually being clutch

He several games for us early bruh. Pretty sure our record in close games is decent, he's been a big part of that

[Robz4000]

:lmao refs holy shit

[bic50]

You've got to be fucking kidding me

[sasaint]

NOBODY ever gets that call!

[bklynspursfan]

Wait, that's a foul?

[Uriel]

:lol

[bklynspursfan]

Such bullshit. After all the shit they let go

[Spurtacular]

Are you fucking kidding me?

[NASpurs]

We’re about to get pounded in the ass by the Pacers and Bucks. Losing this one sucks

[anon]

lol wow

[bklynspursfan]

Fucking disgusting

[BatManu20]

What a way to lose

[spursparker9]

lol refs

[DAF86]

I'm so fucking pissed right now.

[resistanze]

:lmao

[Robz4000]

Spurs won't be .500 again this season after this loss.

[Spurs fever]

That's bullshit

[Bill_Brasky]

I hope that ref gets stabbed on his way out

[Dhbsr555]

Demar like what like what I get myself into

[slick'81]

Holy fucking shit lmao

[Genovaswitness]

lmao fuck this team. wonder when we'll be worth watching again

[iGetbuckets]

Bs

[NASpurs]

Spurs won't be .500 again this season after this loss.

Yeah I agree

[RD2191]

Tank tank tank

[Budkin]

How the fuck do they call that shit on our court??

[DAF86]

A T now hurts.

When you are such a shitty team, you can't give points away.

[sasaint]

Spurs won't be .500 again this season after this loss.

I fear you are correct.

[NASpurs]

No foul :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

What the fuck!!!! How is that not a foul????

[Genovaswitness]

Spurs won't be .500 again this season after this loss.

yup. we had a good run. really not worth watching at this point

[TDMVPDPOY]

hahhaha wtf refs

[Dhbsr555]

Kinda looked like a foul

[Ron Swanson]

Fuck these refs

[Spurs fever]

Foul

[DAF86]

We don't even have a lob option on the team. :lol

[anon]

That Deportes commentator to the left of Bill is cute as a button

[Robz4000]

:lmao:lmao and that isn't a foul

[timtonymanu]

Woohoo!

[bklynspursfan]

That was far worse than the bullshit Marc got

[emanueldavidginobili]

That wasn’t a foul, HOLY FUCK

[NASpurs]

NBA leading the tank for the Spurs

[Spur916]

Sick to my stomach.

[Ditty]

Good job refs! Getting closer to the lottery!

[Dhbsr555]

But my question is why are we not putting the ball in dd hands

[Barfunk]

And robbed

[sasaint]

Pop going to LMA for a last .7 second three-point shot. Great plan.

[slick'81]

Well that was a shitty 1 second left

[timtonymanu]

Good job refs! Getting closer to the lottery!

Exactly.

[baseline bum]

What a fucking load of bullshit. Swallow the whistle on the Aldridge's shot, blow it quick on Gasol's?

[james evans]

Fuck these refs. I hate to lose like this.

[Spurtacular]

WTF!!! This is inexcusable reffing....

[JeffDuncan]

FAGGOT REFS!!! FAGGOTS FAGGOTS FAGGOTS!!

[bklynspursfan]

1065454314552987648

[BlackAndWhite]

Disappointing. The results are all manufactured in the end

[bic50]

Demar like what like what I get myself into
He didn't get himself into this

[cjw]

Can’t wait for the last two minutes report on that bullshit

[Jay.From.NbTx]

God hates us

[BillMc]

We was robbed.

[ElNono]

both teams played hard

[Bill_Brasky]

Can we tank now? Can i get a 20-30 game losing streak going?

[Ragamuffin]

why gay why faoul why ? you are so stupid...

[Rocalcio]

Such a scandal not to call a foul on Aldridge’s shoot...

[bklynspursfan]

Pop going to LMA for a last .7 second three-poin shot. Great plan.

They defended the inbound well. But let's face it, Aldridge should be shooting 3 FTs. He probably knows how Gasol defends and has been overly aggressive. Which he was.

[Budkin]

Nice win for the refs! FUCK.

[timvp]

:lol WTF.

If you call that on Gay, you gotta call a foul on Gasol. Hit Aldridge and didn't give him space to land.

[BillMc]

What a fucking load of bullshit. Swallow the whistle on the Aldridge's shot, blow it quick on Gasol's?

Can't agree more.

Worst call since the 2008 conference finals.

[SpurPadre]

He didn't get himself into this

Kawhi's bitch ass got him into this, tbh.

[Dverde]

They may have done us a favor with that win. Refs screwed that ending up

[sasaint]

Can we tank now? Can i get a 20-30 game losing streak going?

Fairly easily with our upcoming schedule.

[TDomination]

Lol just a retarded way to ref the end of this game. If their gonna start being picky about calls at the last few seconds then make it even on both sides.

[Beartrucci]

That was beyond stupid of Gay holy shit. Agreed though Lma should've been awarded ft's too if that's how you're going to call it

[Figa]

Pop thought that shaving himself ala 2014 style would have made a difference this season....

[Leetonidas]

Bullshit game. Spurs were fuckin robbed. Should be another W but oh well

[ducks]

Lol Credit Human. Why change your name? Was there an influx of non-homosapians trying to open an account?


:lol WTF.

If you call that on Gay, you gotta call a foul on Gasol. Hit Aldridge and didn't give him space to land.

[Bynumite]

How's the weather like under .500? :spin

[Dhbsr555]

#tank4zion

[Collins21]

For all the bullshit people can say about this team you can't win games when refs are fucking you. Of course the usual trolls on here will say the team is no good but tonight this team played good defense in the second half but they were ref'd.

[Immortal Spur]

Gasol fouled him two times... smh on the arm and he didn’t give him space to land. Whatever

[RC_Drunkford]

this game is 100% on the refs and they did it all night. About 3-4 clear offensive fouls by Memphis which were called as blocking fouls. DeRozan and especially Aldridge got pushed in the back plenty of times, yet no call. And nobody calls this shit on Gasol with 1 second left. If you call that, you gotta give Aldridge 3 free throws on the other end as well. We would've won easily with non-biased reffing

[Jay.From.NbTx]

Not even mad at the refs, we couldn’t get a fucking stop without fouling to save our lives.
Shit defense is why we lost. Were trash.

[anon]

Every team Spurs will play will be reffed like they're playing the Stern Lakers. Embrace it. Top 5 pick, welcome to Alamo City.

[BillMc]

Refs from Hell's heart I stab at thee, for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.

Ahab, Khan or BillMc, all the same.

[RD2191]

.500 teams don't deserve the whistle

[SAGirl]

Genuinely surprised Spurs lost this one. Wow.

[bic50]

Kawhi's bitch ass got him into this, tbh.
no the raptors did. Demar didn't want to leave Toronto and Pop wanted Kawhi out of the west

[SpurPadre]

both teams played hard

Ah, the moral victory bit...

[sasaint]

They defended the inbound well. But let's face it, Aldridge should be shooting 3 FTs. He probably knows how Gasol defends and has been overly aggressive. Which he was.

You are looking at the play as it unfolded. I don't want LMA taking that shot the way he has played this season. Just - no. Everybody on the floor was a preferable option.

[TDMVPDPOY]

a offense that allows fkn scrubs like patty and forbes shoot first b4 you see the passed around into the hands of either lma/gay/dd...is asking for a big loss...

fck patty, that kent gives u pts, but gives up just as much pts on the other end, dont get me started when his late on switches or trying to defend through/under/over screens and he just fkn gives up chasing the man...

and whats with the cum stain towel he wear tonight, get rid of that shit or get rid of that stupid hairstyle fkn clown...trying to get media exposure by looking different then anyone on the court? ur a fkn scrub player, not a franchise player....know ur role jabroni

[Spur916]

Why are you surprised? :lol

Ahab, Khan or BillMc, all the same.

Haha! I see you hefting a harpoon. Thanks!

[Beartrucci]

I'll now hold an irrational grudge against Grizz for rest of year. I look forward to them getting their asses kicked in the postseason :lol

[Spurtacular]

How fucking stupid can Gasol be to get LMA on the arm and with the body? That has to be the easiest call ever. Any one of the three refs should've called it.

[Emperor]

Fuck all these excuses. This game ain't on the refs. If the Spurs wouldn't have had their legs spread wide open letting niggas go right through them like a sucia from Niosa then they wouldn't have been in that position to begin with. Their defense sucks. Plain and simple.

[bklynspursfan]

Ref was right there next to it and didn't blow the whistle. Such a joke

[sasaint]

I'll now hold an irrational grudge against Grizz for rest of year. I look forward to them getting their asses kicked in the postseason :lol

Same here! Irrationality is one of the greatest things about being a fan - which we celebrate on ST minute-by-minute.

[BillMc]

Haha! I see you hefting a harpoon. Thanks!

Speak not to me of blasphemy man, I would strike the sun if it insulted me.

[SpurPadre]

How's the weather like under .500? :spin

How's it like losing twice to an under .500 team?

[RC_Drunkford]

Genuinely surprised Spurs lost this one. Wow.

Spurs would've won by 20 if it wasn't for those refs. This was rigged and way worse than game 2 against the Thunder in the 2016 Playoffs. We basically still won the game by 1 point, but they wanted to give Gasol those free throws.

[ducks]

.500 teams don't deserve the whistle

Bull fucking shit

[SAGirl]

Blaming refs pls no. :cry

[bklynspursfan]

How's it like losing twice to an under .500 team?

:lol

[Texas_Ranger]

a non playoff looking team lost to a playoff looking team. I am shocked.

[bklynspursfan]

Blaming refs pls no. :cry

You didn't see the game did you? Or at the very least, the last 2 possessions.

[Dhbsr555]

I say if we are quite a few games under 500 when walker return just let all the young guys run.

[CitizenDwayne]

What an atrociously officiated last minute.

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop should give a fuck about a fine and air the refs out in the postgame interview

[Budkin]

this game is 100% on the refs and they did it all night. About 3-4 clear offensive fouls by Memphis which were called as blocking fouls. DeRozan and especially Aldridge got pushed in the back plenty of times, yet no call. And nobody calls this shit on Gasol with 1 second left. If you call that, you gotta give Aldridge 3 free throws on the other end as well. We would've won easily with non-biased reffing

This. Total horseshit.

[TDomination]

Kawhi's bitch ass got him into this, tbh.

Yup, kawhi screwed the spurs 50 game streak last year and now likely the playoff streak. I'm so glad PATFO put so much effort into building kawhi up and helping him become the player he is so that other teams can flourish from his talent.

[Ragamuffin]

bye bye playoff :(
I am very angry with the team, I do not want to see again games as it does. no luck for playoff... the team want 2 3 trade and now...

[RC_Drunkford]

Blaming refs pls no. :cry

of course you say that as a Memphis Grizzlies fan

[NASpurs]

bye bye playoff :(
I am very angry with the team, I do not want to see again games as it does.no luck for playoff... the team want 2 3 trade and now...


Are you using Google Translate to write your posts?

[Slippy]

The refs controlled the last few possessions there. Both Rudy and Marc both played the kind of d you don't do on your man when under 2secs left in the game. One guy got bailed out.

Rudy wtf were u thinking. Game was in the bag.

[Spurtacular]

Fuck all these excuses. This game ain't on the refs. If the Spurs wouldn't have had their legs spread wide open letting niggas go right through them like a sucia from Niosa then they wouldn't have been in that position to begin with. Their defense sucks. Plain and simple.

Sorry, this might be the standard response to an ST meltdown game thread; but this one's on the refs. Did you even watch the ending, or are you just dense AF?

[Mugen]

:lol who cares, even if they win tonight, this garbage team was just gonna lose 4 straight on the road.

The L tonight just means the tank starts getting some steam. Lottery Pick and Pop retiring, there is a light at the end of this terrible tunnel tbh.

[SAGirl]

I didn’t watch it I am just genuinely surprised. Jjj fouled out within 12 minutes apparently. He’s one of the Grizz best players... at least has been when I watched them. The Grizzlies really don’t have much of a bench outside Shelvin Mack who started the season hot but has cooled down and J. Green who apparently scored well but wasn’t good in this game (boxscore only). It doesn’t feel like the Grizz even had their best players available to close the game due to foul trouble. I didn’t watch it but just expected the Spurs would be able to close this at home.

[cool cat]

Check for your wallets because we just got robbed!

[sasaint]

:lol who cares, even if they win tonight, this garbage team was just gonna lose 4 straight on the road.

The L tonight just means the tank starts getting some steam. Lottery Pick and Pop retiring, there is a light at the end of this terrible tunnel tbh.

I doubt it. He should have retired at the end of last season and let a new regime assume command at that critical juncture and have the opportunity to mold its own team going forward.

[SpurPadre]

The refs controlled the last few possessions there. Both Rudy and Marc both played the kind of d you don't do on your man when under 2secs left in the game. One guy got bailed out.

Rudy wtf were u thinking. Game was in the bag.

I would amend this to say they both played the kind of d you don't play in the game's first 47 mins. and 58 seconds of the game but that you should be able to play in the last two seconds of the game because refs aren't supposed to bail teams out. Granted, I'm mostly pissed at that costly turnover by DeRozan with a minute to go when we could've had the game under control.

[Budkin]

Blaming refs pls no. :cry

This time it’s justified.

[RD2191]

:lol who cares, even if they win tonight, this garbage team was just gonna lose 4 straight on the road.

Tbh. The worst thing that could happen for this team is winning. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

I doubt it. He should have retired at the end of last season and let a new regime assume command at that critical juncture and have the opportunity to mold its own team going forward.

Why should he have? I'm sure he was motivated too after the nonsense from last season

You’re most likely right but losing games this way still infuriates me.

[Mugen]

I mean sure it sucks during the regular season and there probably isn't much else to do in SA....

But why any Spur fan would be cheering for this lottery team to sneak into a 7th or 8th seed to get skullfucked by literally any opponent in the West seems crazy to me....

You already got that last year :lol

[SpurPadre]

You’re most likely right but losing games this way still infuriates me.

We had the ball with a minute to go and a one point lead and turned it over. THAT pissed me off more than anything, tbh.

[RC_Drunkford]

I didn’t watch it I am just genuinely surprised. Jjj fouled out within 12 minutes apparently. He’s one of the Grizz best players... at least has been when I watched them.

I didn’t watch it but just expected the Spurs would be able to close this at home.

They closed it. Watch the fuckin game. DeRozan nailed a jumper with 1.1. seconds left. Then fuckin Marc Gasol gets 2 fuckin free throws for Rudy Gay slightly touching him. Then LaMarcus gets fouled on a 3 point shot when Gasol is flying towards him touchin his arms and his body, to the point where LA falls to the floor, yet no foul. And don't let me get started on the shit that went down prior to that

[Mugen]

You’re most likely right but losing games this way still infuriates me.

Refs are trash, Bud, no doubt. But in the grand scheme of things, losses will only help this franchise at this point.

[Chomag]

If Spurs FO was honest with themselves about being still in a win now mode they would not be having Cunningham and Forbes in a NBA starting line up, let alone them getting significant minutes sorry to say. And don't get me started with Paul and Patty...

[Emperor]

Sorry, this might be the standard response to an ST meltdown game thread; but this one's on the refs. Did you even watch the ending, or are you just dense AF?

I watched the ENTIRE game. I supposed the rest of ya didn't. This team got torched and torched again on defense. That was the main problem. Can't leave it up to the refs to decide the game.

[Kurgan]

If Spurs FO was honest with themselves about being still in a win now mode they would not be having Cunningham and Forbes in a NBA starting line up, let alone them getting significant minutes sorry to say. And don't get me started with Paul and Patty...

tbqh, Pop and RC need to be punished for putting together this horrid roster. Every loss is welcome imo.

[ducks]

Jeff McDonald
@JMcDonald_SAEN
For Pau Gasol, team is thicker than blood: "Yeah, it was a foul. They didn't even see it, or look at it. Especially when they called one pretty similar to turn the game around."




Pop fucking needs to say something and get fined

[Mugen]

If Spurs FO was honest with themselves about being still in a win now mode they would not be having Cunningham and Forbes in a NBA starting line up, let alone them getting significant minutes sorry to say. And don't get me started with Paul and Patty...

They begged Bryn to come back and likely the only team that knew Cunningham was still around...

Pop probably tried to sell Kawhi on the fact that Bryn was gonna have a larger role in the team this year and "We think we can sign Dante..." :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

I watched the ENTIRE game. I supposed the rest of ya didn't. This team got torched and torched again on defense. That was the main problem. Can't leave it up to the refs to decide the game.

that's true. It was a straight lay up line out there. Grizz where getting to the rim at will and also got every switch they wanted. They said "All you can eat" on every lay up for a reason

[RD2191]

They begged Bryn to come back and likely the only team that knew Cunningham was still around...

Think a lot went on with the bad reffing ... still I expected Spurs to win this tbh..

These aren't park n' rec refs, bruh. The refs did a job. You're an idiot (or troll).

[SAGirl]

I’m all in for a Grizzlies-style of tanking.
I have been in on that basically wanted the Spurs to lose for that reason but I didn’t think they would... Maybe I should celebrate?

[Mugen]

I watched the ENTIRE game. I supposed the rest of ya didn't. This team got torched and torched again on defense. That was the main problem. Can't leave it up to the refs to decide the game.

Almost all of the stops they got was Memphis missing wide open shots. Bryn on Conley for most of the night lmao......

They got fucked by the refs at the end no doubt but they're also not even close this game if they didn't get gifted a ton of FTs.....defense is easily bottom 2 or 3 in the league tbh....

[NASpurs]

I have been in on that basically wanted the Spurs to lose for that reason but I didn’t think they would... Maybe I should celebrate?

Some people hear “tank” and think some of us are talking Kings or Philly style of tanking and obscurity. All I want is one “wink wink” shitty season

[SAGirl]

Needs to be QFE...

Me too. At this point at least.

Actually maybe CIA PATFO is doing that with Marco signing, trading Danny etc?

[sasaint]

Why should he have? I'm sure he was motivated too after the nonsense from last season

I stated why I think he should have.

Luckily we got Byron Popovich to lead us to the promised land tbh.

[SpurPadre]

They begged Bryn to come back and likely the only team that knew Cunningham was still around...

Pop probably tried to sell Kawhi on the fact that Bryn was gonna have a larger role in the team this year and "We think we can sign Dante..." :lol

Don't forget this bit, "Unfortunately, we can't get Joffrey to come back but don't worry, we'll find another goofy ass white big for you!" Kawhi's still a piece of shit, though.

[Emperor]

These aren't park n' rec refs, bruh. The refs did a job. You're an idiot (or troll).

I'm neither, just one that avoids petty excuses. If it was a job then those refs earned their money but the Spurs need major defensive improvement and you'd be a fool to think otherwise.

[JakeCuenca]

Sick to my stomach.

Yea I doubt that happened. It was rumored they would trade for Kemba to keep him . Idk if it's true, but the douche wanted out

[Mugen]

Shit, it really is a Catch 22 though...

There's nobody you'd trust more in 2018 to coach a team into the lottery....

But then you got the same guy + RC to likely pick the most antiquated player they can get with said lottery pick....

Sucks not having Timmy or Manu around to develop young players like they did with Kawhi tbh.....

[Spurtacular]

I'm neither, just one that avoids petty excuses. If it was a job then those refs earned their money but the Spurs need major defensive improvement and you'd be a fool to think otherwise.

My analysis of the refs giving this game to Memphis has nothing to do with the state of the Spurs overall.

[Mugen]

Yea I doubt that happened. It was rumored they would trade for Kemba to keep him . Idk if it's true, but the douche wanted out

bklyn - you are a sensible guy, who do you think the Spurs should surround Bryn with to really get this team back into championship contention?

Some people hear “tank” and think some of us are talking Kings or Philly style of tanking and obscurity. All I want is one “wink wink” shitty season

My thoughts exactly just let us tank this year get great starting SF with our first pick and a good bench player with Toronto’s pick and our high second pick.

Well it should be because the Spurs can control their part of it and not allow games like these to get decided by the refs. They still are the better team imo when at full potential but right now they certainly aren't there quite yet. Plenty of time to get there though.

I hate to complain cuz Gay's foul was so stupid, but...Gasol got arm, body, and didn't allow a space to land :lol three different fouls there

Obviously Cunningham, have you seen his shooting the last few games?

[ducks]

In the 7 games since Steph Curry went down
From 3
Warriors: 52-of-167 (31 percent)
Klay: 17-of-60
KD: 4-of-25

I can hear Bill's soul die a little very time he's forced to say "Dante's Inferno"

For Pau Gasol, team is thicker than blood: "Yeah, it was a foul. They didn't even see it, or look at it. Especially when they called one pretty similar to turn the game around."




Pop fucking needs to say something and get fined

Sadly, Pop has never in my memory ever, ever torched the refs after a game to the media. During the game, he works them, but he's too hung up on decorum to actually try and win the game around the game

Phil Jackson worked the officiating to the media because it worked. Not all the time. But enough of the time.

And it helped Jackson beat the Spurs in the playoffs.

Pop's refusal to play that game has cost the Spurs playoff games, it has probably cost them playoff series.

Hell, just giving a single rant about being 'rooked' and 'take that for data' turned the officiating on the last Memphis series and prevented what would have been a sweep.

[Ditty]

I cringe that Dante Cunningham and Quincy Pondexter are getting meaningful minutes in 2018.

[TimDunkem]

I cringe that Dante Cunningham and Quincy Pondexter are getting meaningful minutes in 2018.

These guys were already shit years ago and PATFO slurpers in 2018 are trying to argue that they're great because they play hard and sometimes do good things.

Even though that's essentially what all 15th men fucking do....And we have about 3 or 4 of them.

[Slippy]

I would amend this to say they both played the kind of d you don't play in the game's first 47 mins. and 58 seconds of the game but that you should be able to play in the last two seconds of the game because refs aren't supposed to bail teams out. Granted, I'm mostly pissed at that costly turnover by DeRozan with a minute to go when we could've had the game under control.

see what you're saying, still risky d going up a guys grille, bodying up especially when you got the length to defend. Rudy and Marc both had time on their side as in knowing the opposition had under 2secs to make a play. More importantly however, you don't leave it for the refs to decide. Coaches hate it. that was a brain-fade by rudy that took away a spurs win.

[Fireball]

yeah but if you call sth with 1.7 seconds on the clock you need to make the call at 0.7 as well

[r0drig0lac]

If Spurs FO was honest with themselves about being still in a win now mode they would not be having Cunningham and Forbes in a NBA starting line up, let alone them getting significant minutes sorry to say. And don't get me started with Paul and Patty...

He can still talk to the media without being a clown like Fizdale was. Out of all seasons this is one they can't afford to lose games due to the refs crap. If they can call foul when Gasol clearly waited for Rudy to get close to sell it, they can call a foul on the same Gasol that invaded LMa's shooting space and got his arm. They would've called it if it was dear Steph.

In fact, Gasol bailed LaMarcus out, LMa not being a really good 3pt shooter and having to make that rushed shot. Marc shoul've payed the price.

[tbdog]

That was such a double standard. NBA said very clearly at the beginning of the season, the freedom of movement will be called until the last play. They called it on the second last play. And I still remember seeing Forbes getting clotheslined by Harris in LA on the last play.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

I cringe that Dante Cunningham and Quincy Pondexter are getting meaningful minutes in 2018.
These guys weren't anything special when they were getting meaningful minutes for the Grizzlies in 2011-12.

Dante Cunningham is exactly the same player he was 7 seasons ago except he shoots 3s now.

Quincy Pondexter has always been a mediocre to below average player. Being the Grizzlies' best player in the 2013 series against the Spurs is his only actual accomplishment which he followed up by being absolutely horrible the next 2 seasons with the Grizzlies.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

bye bye playoff :(
I am very angry with the team, I do not want to see again games as it does. no luck for playoff... the team want 2 3 trade and now...

"It just sucks," Rudy Gay said. "We worked our asses off. It's crazy that one play is going to define the whole game." On a foul ending for the Spurs against Memphis:

[kaji157]

This game will mean nothing if we don't evolve as a team.
I prefer what the loss might bring as desire to turn things over
Awful reffing, Gasol defended like a rookie and refs bailed him out.
Move on
