Game Thread: Spurs @ Grizzlies 1/9/23 8pm EST (Let’s get this L)

[KingKev]

Should be an easy L

Ja Morant and Steven Adams are game time decisions from what I can see. Likewise for our “big two” in Keldon and Jak. Vassell out obviously.

Grizz favoured +11.5, with the ML @ +440 for the Spurs.

Hopefully KJ returns and goes full chucker for the greater good.

[slick'81]

If morant sits spurs must acquit

[KingKev]

If morant sits spurs must acquit

Pretty confident he is out. Not needed. Tyus vs Tre might be the most exciting matchup.

[heyheymymy]

thanks OP for getting this thread goin

:flag:

[KingKev]

I must admit I’m a Grindhouse Fanboy. Their franchise has a great model. As much as I enjoy our commentators colour watching the Memphis feed is much more entertaining.

[exstatic]

No, Spurs, No!

[heyheymymy]

I agree, these Grizz are a likable group and fun to watch.

Really high on the supporting cast with Roddy, LaRavia, Aldama, and Konchar impressing me.

[KingKev]

Update: Keldon out, JR questionable, Jak will play.


If no DV/KJ/JR I can’t see us scoring more than 100 pts

O/U @ 137 on most sites

[Thomas82]

I know Memphis is on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, but I hope they don't play with their food tonight like Boston did Saturday. In other words, hopefully they won't play down to the Spurs.

[playbonner15]

Wesley gonna play?

[slick'81]

Oh we getting this L

Bet u r grindhouse fan...after admitting during Boston pride game u were big on White D

It’s not PC to make gay jokes these days. Allah approves though. Magic carpet ride to mecca for you.

He knows you secretly fiend for white bitches though.

[ismael-robert]

Lol sorry couldn't resist...last game u said u were big on D white but I read it fast n saw something completely different

Nah you a lil hoe beaner. Come correct or don’t come at all.

[Thomas82]

Ja Morant is out tonight, but hopefully that won't stop them from taking it to us.

[XDT76]

With the way Ja plays, he could be the next Derrick Rose.

[slick'81]

Good start for the silveNblack

[boutons_deux]

Good start for the silveNblack

shooting 40% to 54%, not good start

[slick'81]

shooting 40% to 54%, not good start

down 10...fantastic start

[SPURt]

Trey shooting like butthole. That Johnson to McBuckets dime was pretty sweet. I’m shocked a contender hasn’t over paid for Douggie yet.

[SPURt]

Crazy Trey layup, that was nasty

[slick'81]

Lets go branham

No audio on the Spurs feed via League Pass. Did SS&E just give up and stop paying Sean and company?

They put “audio difficulty” on the overlay lol

[slick'81]

Defensive showdown

[scott]

These little kids during the halftime show could probably stay within 10 of the Spurs tbh

[scott]

Old Pop would have ripped these kids a new one. No semblance of team basketball of playing for each other. F-minus.

[slick'81]

Spurs competing hard without its top two players! Staying within 10 of the vaunted grizz

[Jordan Jackson]

The Spurs strategy seems to be boring the opposing team to death. Grizzlies look like they have better things to do other than playing this game.

[MultiTroll]

Yo Sniffers wassup?

[slick'81]

Spurs fighting for that W

[slick'81]

Poodle power is ballin

[heyheymymy]

man Brans steady scoring sure is encouraging

[slick'81]

Spurs scratching and clawing to within 5 after the 3rd

[ace3g]

Spurs up 1

[heyheymymy]

Spurs up by 1 10:16 left in the 4th

Spurs trailed MEM by as many as 13

[heyheymymy]

also - love to see that smile from Romeo after he hits on the pass from JR who stole the ball

Lang was pissed he stepped on the 3 line making it a long 2 but I love the camaraderie out there

[Barfunk]

Shiyutt, leading now.

[scott]

Grizz gonna fuck around a find out... ugh. I don't remember who, but someone made the great observation that the Spurs have too many guys fighting for their next deals.

[Thomas82]

The Grizzlies are playing with their food.

[slick'81]

The Grizzlies are playing with their food.


no,they are without their best player and so are the spurs. It's literally a toss up at this point

[slick'81]

GoSpursGo

[Mr. Body]

The Grizzlies are playing with their food.

Food's fixin to eat them.

Last year the Grizz without Morant were ferociously good. Now...

[Mr. Body]

The shit they call on Sochan is unbelievable.

[slick'81]

Can spurs without kj and vas figure out a way to finish

[offset formation]

shooting 40% to 54%, not good start

Read the room.

[Mr. Body]

Can spurs without kj and vas figure out a way to finish

I mean, they can't figure out how to finish with those players.

[lefty20]

Another good L on the books.

[slick'81]

Josh richardson leading the tank command

[AusSpur]

Can someone tell Dougie about the take foul rule?!

[scott]

Good final 6 minutes. Spurs should do of this, where they play hard for 42 minutes.

[slick'81]

how many guys are on an expiring

[slick'81]

Thats how you compete for that L

[heyheymymy]

Fantastic L

I love that SA pushed them, came back from 13 down and made it a game again before getting back behind. Perfect competitive loss here.

[slick'81]

You cant lose any better then this!

[slick'81]

Spurs stay within 3 games of Houston, and 2 behind det/cha

[heyheymymy]

looks like Tre, JR, Romeo, Poeltl as well as Roby, Dieng, KBD are all on last years

[Barfunk]

A+

Let's stay consistent and keep hoarding these losses.

[slick'81]

the others aren't moving the needle but tre,jr romeo and poodle are contributing

[heyheymymy]

never thought Romeo would be holding up starting in Vassell's place but he has been playing well

[slick'81]

pop, the king of second chances

[Seventyniner]

Nice moral W.

[DPG21920]

I love how people just keep taking for granted that SA is competitive against good teams so often and smacks around those other tanking teams every time they play but don’t understand how they may be undervaluing our players abilities and ceilings through all of that…there is a little cognitive dissonance going on there IMO

[Spurs Homer]

Funny how triple J is always a beast against the spurs….

then in the playoffs…the grizz play the phaggots from the bay- and triple J does nothing…except get 3 quick fouls in the first two mins…followed by another quick two fouls when he returns in the 3rd qtr

and bonehead play after bonehead play

but against the spurs - FIVE BLOCKS!

[cd98]

Big brother Jones beating up on little bro.

Can you stop with the slurs? It makes you look like an incel moron.

[cd98]

Spurs lose game/win lottery odds- check
Spurs rest "injured" two best scorers- check
Spurs showcase Poetl to others with first round picks- check
Spurs play rookies a ton of minutes to let them get NBA experience knowing they may play well, but not well enough to win- check

Perfect game. It took Pop a little time to realize that you can't just coast to a bottom 3 record. It takes work, namely, knowing who to play and who not to play to ensure a loss that passes commissioner scrutiny. Glad to see the Spurs are figuring out what Houston and 5 teams in the east already know. You must sit your best scorers with "injuries" and get them to get non-essential surgery so you have an easy excuse for not having them play the rest of the year.

[The Truth #6]

Good loss. I like Memphis, except Dillon Brooks—that dude is a piece of work.

[KingKev]

Solid Fucking Lizzzzo

[Mr. Body]

I hope the whole team dies in a bus crash because of Dillon Brooks.

[cd98]

I don't get the Dillon Brooks hate. I'd love him on the Spurs.

[Mr. Body]

I don't get the Dillon Brooks hate. I'd love him on the Spurs.

He's worse than Draymond in wanting to hurt players.

[The Truth #6]

Dude seems crazy. Seems like a player you would want on your team in theory because he would torment the other team, but he also seems like a guy that falls in love with his own shot way too much, and I imagine that probably pisses off his teammates.

[John B]

Good loss. I like Memphis, except Dillon Brooks—that dude is a piece of work.

Yeah he’s getting up there in the jerk category. I notice how he took the ball from Branham? on a deadball, nothing biggie just you can see that Pat Bev/Westbrick vibes. It must be nice playing with that cocksucker

[Spurs Homer]

I hope the whole team dies in a bus crash because of Dillon Brooks.

slurs offend your sensitivities and sensibilities

except when you wish death on others

Slurs are harmful against entire categories of people.

I'm still allowed to hate individuals for being assholes.

I'm not some namby-pampy stupid lib who thinks I have to be nice to everybody including those who deserve my scorn.

Is that clear? Seems pretty obvious if you're not a moron. Are you a moron?

[JPB]

You guys just can't help, can you?

[boutons_deux]

Spurs scratching and clawing to within 5 after the 3rd

then yet another 4th qtr disaster

calling gs warriors phaggots is not actually a slur to anyone but the phaggots on the gs warriors

if you were offended - you must be a sensitive gs fan in which case

go fuck yourself

They are a well run organization regardless of your view of the city. Also you spelt faggot wrong. Faggot.

[ismael-robert]

Dude wishes death on whole team due to one individual...justified?

Too lazy to make a new thread so Monday night redux…

Both teams star players are playing tonight…. Ja Morant and Keldon Johhnson. Marquee matchup tbh. One is a top 10 player and one is a top 100 player.
