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

[BatManu20]

At home tonight as we host a red-hot Memphis team who’ve won 4 in a row and 6 of their last 7. Gasol remains out but Davis Bertans has been upgraded to Questionable. Metu and Eubanks are unavailable due to G-League assignments. Would fall under .500 for the first time all season if we lose. No excuses. Let’s get it.

But what would a career night exactly entail? 19pts 11 boards 4 steals? Spitballing, genuinely curious to know, I respected Kyle's defensive presence on the floor when he was with us.

I think I saw somewhere the Spurs can lose every game from now until 2023 and still be # 1 :lol

[bklynspursfan]

[SAGirl]

Aside from KA, Gasol and Conley, I really, really like rookie JJJ, but as I am traveling to visit family I am not going to be able to watch this game. Happy Thanksgiving!

The Griz have won a series of challenging games on the road and kept their winning streak in spite of injuries and a recent 4 games in 6 nights stint. They are a hungry team. Gasol is playing very well and recently Conley has gotten in a groove. Gasol, JJJ and KA generate a lot of steals and blocks and are very disruptive. I don’t think the Grizz intend to take this one easy, but they are due to get their winning streak broken and the Spurs playing at home might just be the team to do it. So I don’t have a good feeling for the Grizz in this game bc they are bound to lose a road game soon. Odds stacked against them.

[John B]

1065301539248586754
Please Davis.. please play :shootme

[JeffDuncan]

It should be a good draft so I'm sympathetic to the idea of tanking.

But not today! Today we needs to whip us some Grizz! Bring it on!

Go Spurs Go!

[Degoat]

Don’t know when he will debut but it looks like Lonnie walker is close to coming back, he posted on Instagram about being back on the court

MVPatty trying to will us. :wow

[Larry O]

Tonight's game is going to hinge on Aldrige's energy, & how well he plays, especially against Marc, who is having a good season, along with the Grizz this year. As SA Girl calls him, JJJ, or Jaren Jackson, Jr., he has been ballin' out for a rook! Either RG22 OR DC33 may have the assignment to guard him. This team I think, has 3 former Spurs: KA1, JaMychal Green & Garrett Temple. It will be interesting to see how those guys will respond against their former team. But any who, hope the good guys respond with some energy coming out the gate; good ball movement; consistant defense; few turnovers & their shots to fall. It's a home game & it's one of those teams SAS should be up for to play against & win. HAPPY THANKSGIVING & GSG!!!

[JakeCuenca]

Best game so far in the season. Cant wait to see kyle against spurs.

[BillMc]

Fully expect Kyle to have a career night tbh.

This will be a real test of SAGirl's loyalties.

For the Toros.

[NameLess Scrub]

I expect random chuckers to have career nights vs the Spurs tonight. FG% in the high 50s for the Grizz.

Conley might score 40.

Edit: Kyle will have a triple double.

[Spurs fever]

The GOAT in the building. Confirmed W

[Robz4000]

LMA and DeRozan still look like shit.

[Dhbsr555]

Maybe Aldridge will fake an injury like kahwi and we will start winning

[Robz4000]

Fathead's fat head somehow got fatter.

[Beartrucci]

LOL KA 1/7 for year from 3. Nails his first against Spurs

[Ron Swanson]

Fathead with the corner 3

[phxspurfan]

Garrett Temple and Conley with the green light against our guards. Posting them up and jacking 3s

[SAGirl]

Probably the best game of the season for me to watch and I am on the road!!!!!):madrun

[Ragamuffin]

omg bad start for la and dd …

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Somehow the Spurs defense seems to get worse each game, it's almost to the point I can't even watch. Poor effort and even poorer communication

[Dhbsr555]

Aldridge for wall

[Robz4000]

This game might be over by the end of the first quarter.

[NASpurs]

Down 10 already :lmao

[Robz4000]

Aldridge for wall

Wouldn't touch Wall's contract with a hazmat suit on.

They play 2 more times, I assume cause the Anderson factor lol

This is the only time Grizzlies look better than the Spurs since 2011.

Patty the cleaning lady

[spursparker9]

lol Bertan. My steal my shot!

Yup.

[timvp]

Mills playing damn good defense :wow

Will your internet be working in the fourth quarter tbh?

Mills out there making a difference:wow

why the fuck did Belinelli jump in the air on that play?

[Fusternino]

"Not be named" . . . wow!

Yup. Just like it was last game :rolleyes

[bklynspursfan]

"Not be named" . . . wow!

Yea! I heard that shit too haha

[Spurs fever]

One player not to be named. Sean Elliot is salty af lol

[Robz4000]

LMA has lost the ability to play high level basketball regularly it seems.

[DAF86]

Will your internet be working in the fourth quarter tbh?

:lol

[bklynspursfan]

Gay quickly switching with White to get on Gasol. Nice communication there

I guess it'd be funny if it were true?

[NASpurs]

:lmao

[Robz4000]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but LMA needs to be benched for Poeltl.

[RC_Drunkford]

why is Omri Casspi killing Rudy Gay?

[Dhbsr555]

Aldridge is killing us with his less than average play

[Dhbsr555]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but LMA needs to be benched for Poeltl.
I agree he is a poison to this ballclub right now

[DAF86]

why is Omri Casspi killing Rudy Gay?

Gay can't be good every single game. Aldridge needs to step the fuck up for once in this fucking season. If you are going to cry about touches, at least produce.

[anon]

Fridgehead going for the perfect shooting night

[Spurs fever]

Why is Pondexter on the team?

[bklynspursfan]

Gay can't be good every single game. Aldridge needs to step the fuck up for once in this fucking season. If you are going to cry about touches, at least produce.

The least he could do is get Gasol to pick up that 3rd foul

[gilmor2002]

Hornets beat the Pacers!!!

[bklynspursfan]

That's bullshit

[Beartrucci]

Homer shit by Sean there. Clearly moving trying to get one of those bs Gino fouls that have nothing to do with basketball

[Robz4000]

Forbes can't hit shit tonight either.

[Dhbsr555]

������ rebound

[bklynspursfan]

Nice takes by Rudy and DD.

[NASpurs]

Wtf is up with Utah, they’re trying to out tank us

[bklynspursfan]

Aldridge man, dude is stronger than most the guys he plays against. Needs to do that more smh.

[Dhbsr555]

About time

[bklynspursfan]

Can DeMar get a foul?

:wow Patty

Why is JJJ getting so hyped up for this game tbh?

Why is JJJ getting so hyped up for this game tbh?

Because his dad played here and he lived here for a while... I’m guessing

[NASpurs]

Good to see Patty not be a complete piece of shit

[Beartrucci]

Ultimate example of Patty giveth and he taketh Lol. That layup for Conley

[bklynspursfan]

Patty gave a beauty of a pass and Aldridge blew it

[spurs10]

61...hello defense

[Beartrucci]

Pop wants a 2 for 1 if you have to shoot it from halfcourt

[NASpurs]

23rd best offense going for 120

[Dhbsr555]

Aldridge looking like kwame Brown

[Robz4000]

Because his dad played here and he lived here for a while... I’m guessing

Could be, but he's treating this game like a revenge game.

[JPB]

OK guys, what did I miss ? Did Poetl make his first shot of the season ?

[Spur916]

If Aldridge had shown up in that first half we'd be leading by half a dozen.

[RD2191]

Aldridge looking like kwame Brown

That's an insult to Kwame brown

[NASpurs]

Could be, but he's treating this game like a revenge game.

Did the Spurs do JJ wrong? Probably some story we don’t know :lol

[JPB]

That's an insult to Kwame brown

And his mom.

[gambit1990]

Why is JJJ getting so hyped up for this game tbh?
he wants to leave a good impression for when the spurs are thinking about signing him in 2034.

[SpurPadre]

I'm tired of Forbes getting more shot attempts than one of Gay, LMA, or DeRozan...while stinking up the place.

[Ragamuffin]

any opinion for second half ? spurs can win ? problem is screen from gasol...

[RC_Drunkford]

it's a straight lay up line out there for other teams. Gasol is parked on the perimeter most of the time, so Aldridge can't be in the paint to protect the rim. Now their guards just have to pass by Mills/Belinelli/Forbes and they get an open lay up

[Dhbsr555]

That's an insult to Kwame brown
Did I say kwame Brown I meant Greg oden

[DAF86]

Bertans had a great stint. Instead of giving him another go, Pop preferred to close the half with Cunningham and Belinelli, who sucked ass. :rolleyes

[JPB]

Did I say kwame Brown I meant Greg oden

That's an insult to whisky.

[boutons_deux]

LMA laying another egg, missing gimmes

[JPB]

Portland down 30 end of 3rd in Milwaukee... :lol West

[Spurs fever]

Forbes must be leading the team in FG attempts

[bklynspursfan]

Oh brother

[bklynspursfan]

Anderson had Forbes on him and passed to Gasol for a 3

[Spurs fever]

No shot blocker

[Dhbsr555]

Like what happened to Aldridge on the real though.

[bklynspursfan]

Celtics lose at home to the Knicks lol

[RC_Drunkford]

so did the Grizzlies have to shoot any jump shots this quarter or were it all lay ups?

[SpurPadre]

Well, Anderson just reached his career high in points in a game...

[SpurPadre]

Like what happened to Aldridge on the real though.

33 happened to him, tbh.

[bklynspursfan]

Patty's back, we're good

[JeffDuncan]

Yeah, LMA just looks tired.

[JPB]

33 happened to him, tbh.

You don't go from the best statistical season of your career and an all-star selection to complete trash over a summer.

Although he did...

[Dhbsr555]

You don't go from the best statistical season of your career and an all-star selection to complete trash over a summer.
That’s what I’m saying

[Dhbsr555]

Aldridge your killing us

[bklynspursfan]

Our pick and pop game should be lethal, but Aldridge can't shoot anymore

[Robz4000]

Spurs need to move LMA asap if he has any sort of value around the league. Hell, even if it's just a salary dump; gonna be tough to move his contract once it becomes apparent he's declined this much.

[Texas_Ranger]

You don't go from the best statistical season of your career and an all-star selection to complete trash over a summer.

Ya just moving salary would be big

[StinkyWeezleteats]

Jagoff Poetl makes Rasho look like Charles Oakley

[bklynspursfan]

Great defense by DeRozan there.

[JeffDuncan]

That foul on DDR was outright fraud.

[JPB]

That Beli, Poodle, Patty, Bertans, DDR lineup... is fascinating.

[StinkyWeezleteats]

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

[RC_Drunkford]

the thing with Aldirdge is he's a mental midget. Once he misses a few shots he can't even make the easiest lay ups. It also doesn't help that our defense is shit and he can't cover for all these bad defenders not being able to stay in front of their man. I think that plays a huge part messing with his confidence

[bklynspursfan]

That Beli, Poodle, Patty, Bertans, DDR lineup... is fascinating.

Both teams playing small. Surrounding DeRozan with shooters

[RD2191]

3-13 from that piece of shit Aldridge, nice :lol

[Spurtacular]

Hope the Grizz put fathead in. We need to go on a run.

[Beartrucci]

:lol guests

[sasaint]

33 happened to him, tbh.

I don't believe that 33 causes a player to become a bricklayer overnight.

[bklynspursfan]

What a bullshit call. Casspi was out of control

[Dhbsr555]

Ughh Aldridge

[NASpurs]

LMA needs to leave this team

[DAF86]

You can always count on Aldridge to miss a shot when we are a possession away from tying the game.

[sasaint]

Why are we playing without a bigman?

Because we don't have one.

[Spurtacular]

Aldridge no call at one end and Caspi gets that crap at the other? SMDH

[bklynspursfan]

Idk if Forbes got that off in time

[Ron Swanson]

LMA needs to unfuck himself quick.

[bklynspursfan]

Aldridge no call at one end and Caspi gets that crap at the other? SMDH

That was terrible smh Bertans was straight up and Casspi was out of control

[Spurtacular]

After the shot clock; fucking Forbes

[bklynspursfan]

Finally. Take it at them Aldridge man

[hater]

Thank God Conley is shooting like shit or wed be down 25

[DAF86]

You can always count on Aldridge to miss a shot when we are a possession away from tying the game.

Or free throws when a point away from taking the lead. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Thank God Conley is shooting like shit or wed be down 25

Balances out with Aldridge shooting 14% or whatever he's at

[sasaint]

Or free throws when a point away from taking the lead. :lol

Couldn't type as fast as you. :lol

[SpurPadre]

Death, Taxes, LMA missing fourth quarter free throws.

[vander]

seriously what is wrong with LMA? I haven't seen him make a shot yet

[Rocalcio]

So we're playing Memphis and everybody is obsesed with Kyle Anderson ? I'm sure he'll have a great game and he'll shut mouths.

On his way for a double double, at 100% FG. And it’s when he’s out that Spurs made a run. :fro

[bklynspursfan]

Just keep it close till Patty is back

[DAF86]

How long till Pop puts Cunningham and Beli back in and the game gets out of reach?

[SpurPadre]

Forbes will chuck the next 8 shots now

[Robz4000]

How long till Pop puts Cunningham and Beli back in and the game gets out of reach?

After this timeout tbh.

[RC_Drunkford]

did JayMichael Green just make LA mad? Mad Aldridge is a killer

[DAF86]

Balances out with Aldridge shooting 14% or whatever he's at

That doesn't work when Aldridge has been shooting 14% for the entire season, tbh.

[RC_Drunkford]

I guess not. Refs still making bullshit calls

[Spurtacular]

Grizzlies should be ashamed letting Forbes repeatedly get to the hole on them. He's under 10 percent on such plays going into this game from what I've seen.

[hater]

Duncan!!!

His bitch looks pretty fine :tu

[Spurs fever]

Timmy!!

[JPB]

lol just realized that SA is currently at 11th seed

Win this one and you're 2.5 games from 1st place...

[DAF86]

A T now hurts.

[bklynspursfan]

Fucking flop by Conley

[Spurtacular]

Demar shoots a three; you got to crash the boards.

[bklynspursfan]

A T now hurts.

At least he's showing a pulse

[Ron Swanson]

Not this Gay!

[NASpurs]

:lmao Fathead’s reaction at that Gay dunk

[RC_Drunkford]

fuck these refs

[sasaint]

Rudy back doors Kyle. Sweet!

[bklynspursfan]

Great pass by DeRozan. Good cut by Rudy, Anderson with that Harden D there

[Spurtacular]

No need to guard Kyle in the corner. I love that that shoe is on the other foot. :lmao

[ElNono]

Give it to Gay and abuse Kyle Anderson, who's a bust on defense

[Dhbsr555]

Damnit Aldridge

[bklynspursfan]

Should be a dam foul wtf

[NASpurs]

Rudy Gay abusing Fathead

[Ron Swanson]

Rudy working the shit out of Kyle

[Robz4000]

:lmao Gay abusing Fathead

[bklynspursfan]

Rudy!

[ElNono]

there we go... just give it to Gay
