Game Thread: Spurs at Grizzlies — August 2, 2020 - 3PM CT

[DC23]

The playoff picture could get interesting with a win against the Grizzlies.

[ace3g]

Just a reminder everyone - you only have to be within 4 games of the 8th seed after the 8 #NBARestart (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23NBARestart) games to make the play-in as the 9th seed. From there 8th seed only has to win 1, 9th seed has to win 2 to advance past play-in.

Thanks Ace. My primitive childlike mind is confused by this though. So how many teams can make the play-in? 2? 4? I haven't been up on the NBA stuff for a while.

Only the 9th seed makes the play-in. All seeding is determined by winning % (since not every team will have played the same amount of games total after the 8 restart games). If Grizz would have beat the Blazers yesterday we would already be the 9th seed.

**This is the only reason (along with the rotations / commitment to young players) that I was even excited about the restart. If we had to reach the 8th seed outright after the 8 games that would be an almost impossible task with Grizz and Blazers ahead of us).

***And TBH ESPN and others aren't doing a good job of emphasizing the "within 4 games" rule and play-in when discussing the race for the 8th spot in both conferences.

So, if you are 9th seed you're in. Out of curiosity do the games between the 8th and 9th seed for the play-in count as a form of playoff games? Both in terms of the Spurs streak, but also player playoff stats, bonuses, etc? Or will those games be anomalies ignored forever after?

If you make the 9th seed and within 4 games you make the play-in (still haven't made the playoffs yet). During the play-in stage the 8th only has to win 1 game, the 9th seed would have to win 2 to make the final final 8th spot.

I'm 99.9% sure the play-in doesn't count as part of playoff streak, etc.

Memphis will likely be out for blood after that OT loss to Portland.

On the other hand, maybe Memphis would rather face the Spurs than the Blazers (but alas that's probably over-analyzing it -- they may simply fear falling out of the 8 spot).

[cjw]

JJJ and Morant both put in heavy minutes, so hopefully Spurs a little more rested.

Matchups will be interesting as Grizzlies will be playing bigger than the Kings. Can Spurs get away with Gay and Demar guarding Jackson? And please hope Dejounte doesn’t come up empty against Morant like he did against Fox.

[GAustex]

White got beat up letting the Kings trod all over him breaking his tooth. Hope White is OK. Spurs need him.

[ducks]

Spurs win for me !

[gambit1990]

so it’s normal circumstance again now? spurs make in it and they won’t be in the lottery?

[Gibbz]

This is a different animal from hobbled Sacramento. I wouldn't expect a win, but it's a nice test for our young guys.

[gambit1990]

[Play Boban]

Pop will stand.

[Dejounte]

The game is at 3pm cst. Not 5 pm cst.

[KobesAchilles]

Tough outings for Murray to start out the season tbh. Gets destroyed by Fox. About to get destroyed by Morant. And then will follow it up by getting destroyed by Simmons.

I guarantee a W!

����

[B1gduff]

Size shouldn't be a problem.
Jackson is more a stress 4, he not going to overpower people in the paint, Just hope you can get an hand on him and he does not get hot.
Anderson (if he starts) is an offense threat
Brooks always had the advantage against us, mioslty he was getting guarded by Forbes, now he he;ll be getting guarded by either Walker or Lonnie.
Vakanciun and Jakob matches up nicely.
It's gone come down to control Morant, so we'll have three/four guys to go against him.

Outside of thst Clark is the only real weapon to worry about.

[spurs10]

[hooperflash]

Incoming tough win!! Better overall team. Memphis was more trouble when they had Crowder, tbh. :flag:

[Degoat]

*Official jinx* I think the spurs will be able to contain Ja but I bet JJJ goes off

[slick'81]

No belli or forbes:lobt:

If they win against Memphis I’ll start taking the playoffs seriously

They should be out for blood. Their schedule is tough and the OT loss was a hard fought battle. I bet they are hungry and will fight for this game. Jaren Jackson is key for them and he tends to get in foul trouble. It’s a very winnable game for the Spurs but the same can be said for the Grizzlies. Should be interesting either way.

[slick'81]

Spurs got the youngsters to compete. Will def be a fun matchup

[SAGirl]

expecting an L.
Me too but not bc this team won’t compete (unlike the past). I just think the Grizzlies will be hungry to get this game IMO.

[Seventyniner]

Portland beating Memphis helped the Spurs' chances of getting all the way to #8 but hurt their chances of finishing #9.

The Spurs beating Memphis would really muck things up, and that's good for Spurs fans. Go get it Spurs.

[Russ]

As Yogi Berra said, "It's getting late early."

It looks like it's coming down to Spurs vs. Portland for the right to face Memphis.

Hmmm... could Isaias' cause a delay or postponement of the games on Sunday? It's predicted that it will gain strength and become a cat one hurricane and brush Florida's eastern coastline. I'm sure that an extra day off would be welcomed, but I'm sure that on the other hand, the makeup could come back to bite them, but hoping that the affect won't be serious enough to cancel the games. In the meantime, GSG and let's get the double-U!!! :)

[Russ]

Spurs-Memphis tomorrow afternoon at the same time as Portland-Boston.

Those two games may end up pivotal in this whole thing when we look back on it.

[Spurtacular]

H2H with 8 seed three games up on them and a team in between them too. I'd say this is a must win game.

[wildcardX]

Will Forbes be sitting out next season as well because of quad injury?

[spurs10]

Let's get this!!

[objective]

If Weatherspoon plays he needs to take those open shots, he was ridiculous last game

[playblair]

This is going to be the challenge.

Getting within 4 games of Memphis is completely reasonable.

But we also have to win the race ahead of Portland, Sacramento, and New Orleans.

Fortunately we've already beat Sacramento once, New Orleans has lost twice, and Memphis lost (albeit to Portland). It's early, but things have started off well for the Spurs.

Portland plays Boston today, so a loss there would really make things interesting.

Yup. Wouldn't that put us in 9th and only 2 games back of the 8th seed?

Spurs need to worry about themselves and take care of business. Spurs must win tonight.

Do not worry about Portland - they have a VERY challenging schedule. Spurs need to worry about themselves and the rest will play out accordingly.

BTW the Pelicans are done. They lost their first two games and Zion is on a minutes restriction. It's clear they are looking forward to next year.

It was fun while it lasted.

[Chinook]

It's weird. The Spurs don't especially NEED Mills to play. They have Murray, White, Walker, Weatherspoon and Johnson who can play the guard minutes, and Memphis is a bigger team. Eubanks should be in the rotation, Gay should get mostly PF minutes and DeRozan might get some wing minutes. I think if there's an issue is that they have to activate Mills for depth but don't want to make him dress if he's not going to play.

As far as Forbes goes, my guess is that he can play right now but the Spurs don't want to play him. But if some more guards get hurt, then they'll have to do so. The excuse will be that the quad injury has healed, but the injury itself is just to cover up the benching.

[Degoat]

Ehhh Marco was playing good minutes as long as patty does play over lonnie and Keldon I’m fine with him out there

Will be my first game to watch in months (if I can get a link). Very excited.

Dillon Brooks scrubs it up against every other team but when he sees the Spurs he becomes the next Jordan.

[RD2191]

5 point lead, not bad.

[ace3g]

59-54 Spurs lead at half but probably should have been 8-9 points.

[Robz4000]

Gay and DeRozan killed the Spurs that half.

[r0drig0lac]

no Forbes + no Marco = real defense

[ace3g]

Boston only up 89-77 now with 2:51 left in the 3rd.

[FkLA]

Crazy what a difference playing the right guys makes. Undersized defensive liabilities have no place in this league.

[BillMc]

I'll take it. Not a bad half. Pretty entertaining

[Dex]

Gay and DeRozan killed the Spurs that half.

DeRozan had his moments.

Can't say the same for Gay. He has actually been playing well in this restart, but today he is apparently going to put up one of his patented stinkers

Refs certainly aren't doing us any favors in the first half though.

[Seventyniner]

I know a lot of people Compare Brandon Clarke and Luka but I think I'd rather have Keldon Johnson over Clarke any day.

What they're mad about is that the Spurs could have had both Clarke and Keldon. Though I suppose that's not guaranteed; there's a chance Memphis would have taken Keldon at #21 if Clarke was off the board.

[TDomination]

We’re giving ourselves a chance to win. Go spurs go

[ace3g]

Well Dame Time and Nurkic happen in 3rd - Boston only up 94-86 at end of 3Q

Boston choking the game against the Blazers while Dumbar choking our lead away.

[MoSpur02]

Eubanks is worthless to be honest.

[Kurgan]

Eubanks is worthless to be honest.

He's the Bryn Forbes of big men. D-League quality but Pop loves the "effort and culture"

[ace3g]

White bails out another DeRozan passed up corner 3...

[Arcadian]

I guess Pop can't hug everyone on the opposing team during a pandemic :lol

[Robz4000]

Eubanks was good in the first half tbh.

[Leetonidas]

Lol fat head couldn't learn to shoot in 4 years but figured it out in a couple months off? What a dick

[RD2191]

Blazers in 9th seed - we need to catch them for 9th seed for the play-in with 8th seed.


Have a look at the ranking...

Boston it is.

[RD2191]

Fukin Celts choking gawd dammit

[Kurgan]

White bails out another DeRozan passed up corner 3...

I'm sick of this depressed jackass passing up open threes over and over again. If he opts in next season, I won't watch a single Spurs game.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

My goodness Dillon Brooks sucks.

[Kurgan]

Ex-Spurs like Aron Baynes and Kyle Anderson developing three point shots. Meanwhile, Dumbar still afraid to shoot anything farther than a long two.

[Robz4000]

:lol this team is so stupid

[BatManu20]

Rudy Gay is seriously garbage. And this team has a poor IQ collectively. The product of being a young team I guess.

[Kurgan]

Keldon should not have passed up that open three.

[justinandimcool]

Boston back in control

Gay and Eubanks fucking this up

[ace3g]

Boston back up 116-111 with 3:27 left in game.

[Kurgan]

Rudy Gay is seriously garbage.

He looked terrible in those scrimmage games last week. Kept turning over the ball and losing the Spurs valuable possessions. For a vet that's been in the league for almost 15 years, he makes some of the dumbest rookie mistakes.

[ace3g]

Boston up 120-119 with 1:12 to go

[Robz4000]

Rudy Gay is seriously garbage. And this team has a poor IQ collectively. The product of being a young team I guess.

Most of the young guys are fine IQ-wise sans Murray, but Gay and DeRozan are some of the dumbest fucks I've ever seen.

[ace3g]

Dame it's not time, misses a 3 from the top

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Jaylen Brown with the dagger.

[Kurgan]

Celtics up 125-119 with 30 secs to go. Spurs must win tonight's game now.

[RD2191]

125-119 Celts. Looks like they got it in the bag.

[ace3g]

Boston just hit 3

125-119

[NASpurs]

Keldon :wow

[ace3g]

Keldon "50/50" Johnson!!!

[cd98]

Props to Johnson

[EasyMoney]

Show some emotion keldon!!

[NASpurs]

+4 quarter when it looked like shit was going down the toilet. I'll take it.

[ace3g]

125-122 with 26.9 left

[Dejounte]

JJJ is a cocky little shit.

[ace3g]

over and back against Cs,

Dame gets one more shot

loose ball

Theis and Nurkic on the ground

6.8 secs

[Kurgan]

Derozan and Gay shooting a combined 4-18 tonight. Those two also happen to be our highest payed players on this restart roster. $41 million well spent

[MultiTroll]

Can Grandpa not f up a 9 point 4th qtr lead?

[Spurtacular]

Watching NBA TV; they're finally showing Spurs.

Reddit still doing streams?

[MemphisGirl]

Kyle got hacked on that mid range shot!
Come on! Make the call, ref!

[r0drig0lac]

Murray ONFIRE!!!

[ace3g]

Wow Dame gave up the 3 for pass to easy 2

[NASpurs]

Carry us home DJ :cry

[Degoat]

DJ!!!

[KobesAchilles]

everytime I see Anderson play I thank the lucky stars we didn't sign him to an extension

also dj is a beast. may i never say another bad thing about him...

[ace3g]

Dejounte threw that floater up to the sky

[slick'81]

Spurs cant be stopped

[Floyd Pacquiao]

If Murray develops that midrange game I’ll eat crow

[Robz4000]

At least Murray's midrange game has become money.

[ace3g]

Hayward going to FT line with 3 secs

Boston up 125-124

[BWS-1994]

DJ take the wheel!

[Seventyniner]

Did Dejounte call glass on that last one?

Him becoming a real offensive threat would raise the team's ceiling considerably.

[ace3g]

here we go, Nurkic throws TD pass to the sidelines to no one

[Kurgan]

Celtics look to have closed the game. If Spurs win tonight, they're the 9th seed.

[slick'81]

Everything turning up san Antonio

[ace3g]

Tatum to the line makes 1 of 2

Cs win 128 to 124!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

If we somehow win this game we can have a serious conversation about being in contention for the final playoff spot

[slick'81]

GoSpursGo

[JPB]

Prepare the parade tbh

[Arcadian]

When Pop takes the mask off, you know shit's getting serious :lol

[BatManu20]

Poeltl is a goddamn foul machine. Him being out means Memphis is gonna attack every possession.

[MemphisGirl]

Grizzlies took out Kyle. No comeback now.

[Kurgan]

It'd be nice if the vets(Derozan/Gay) finally showed up.

[MoSpur02]

Derozan checks in and the Spurs aren’t what they were. Bummer

[Dejounte]

This crowd is disrespectful lmao

[slick'81]

Lead us home demar

[Robz4000]

:lmao freethrows

[Shakril]

Poeltl is a goddamn foul machine. Him being out means Memphis is gonna attack every possession.

3 of those 5 fouls were wrong calls. Refs are terrible.

[ace3g]

Dejounte rips Morant draws foul

[Genovaswitness]

Wow I thought muh touches was the heart and soul of this team?
team has looked the best it has all year without this fat sulking POS

[BatManu20]

Make your damn FT’s boys

[JPB]

Eubanks banks a layup

[Kurgan]

Poeltl is a goddamn foul machine. Him being out means Memphis is gonna attack every possession.

With LMA out, he seems to be a little over anxious to prove himself resulting in those dumb fouls.

[BWS-1994]

Hope those 3 straight FTs down bite the Spurs back later...

[ace3g]

Team is learning on the fly on how to close out games, all things considering, I'll take it

[slick'81]

Grizz are fucked

[JPB]

Now if Orlando could be Sacto...

[MoSpur02]

The Spurs aren’t playing that good at all today. Only reason they’re winning is because the Grizzlies are somehow playing worse.

[Robz4000]

Welp, here's the choke.

[JPB]

Collapsing or not collapsing...

[Dejounte]

These terrible airballs man....

[BatManu20]

Lonnie playing like complete ass too. He’s visibly shaken. Confidence is gone after so many bricks and that air ball.

[stephen jackson]

This feels like we’re gonna lose :madrun

[Degoat]

It’s funny I want us to win but let’s be real we need that lottery draft pick lol

[Kurgan]

Derozan/Gay/Eubanks lineups have been brutal.

[BillMc]

We got this

[MemphisGirl]

They've held down the fort while Kyle is out.

I just wonder if Taylor Jenkins puts Kyle back in now, or does he risk it and give him a couple more minutes rest?

[Robz4000]

:lmao what a meltdown

[NASpurs]

Did Rudy Gay bet on the Grizzlies to win or something?

[Leetonidas]

:lmao jesus

[RD2191]

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

[MultiTroll]

out of a timeout Grandpa gets us a Gay 3 pter.

Now he turns it over. Get Gay TFO.

[Degoat]

KISS MY ASS!!!

[MoSpur02]

Gay is killing the Spurs all by himself

[BatManu20]

Lol epic choke

[MemphisGirl]

These guys are really rising to the challenge with Kyle out.

[Kurgan]

Rudy Gay has been the best player for the Griz tonight.

[BatManu20]

Rudy Gay has been Memphis’ strongest player today. What a fucking washed up scrub he’s become.

[RD2191]

Same old Spurms :lol

[MoSpur02]

This run with Gay and Derozan in the game should ring a bell in Pop’s head.

[Leetonidas]

Lol grizz got cucked there

[MoSpur02]

This run with Gay and Derozan in the game should ring a bell in Pop’s head.

[ace3g]

no basket

[Dejounte]

Fuck these Grizzlies. Ja and JJJ are annoying ass pests

[Rocalcio]

Grizz are fucked

Nope...

[Leetonidas]

Omg :lmao

[NASpurs]

:lol this is hilarious

[objective]

Good lord, get Murray and poeltl back in
