Game Thread: Spurs vs. Grizz -- 1/17/2025 - 8:30pm CST on ESPN (4:30am Riga Time; 4:30pm Hawaiian Time)

[BatManu20]

Run it back. Would love a split here, though I'm not holding my breath tbh. This one's nationally televised too so hopefully Victor and the gang are ready. Let's get it.

[scott]

Ja has probably spent the last two days prepping to poster Wemby on national TV this time.

One thing about Wemby, he usually eventually finds a way to adapt to challenges. Hopefully the adaptation to the way teams like MEM and HOU play him is coming soon.

[z0sa]

Wemby needs to play better on offense and the coaching staff needs to make adjustments other than "do exactly what Memphis wants us to do."

[Dex]

Here we go again.

I'm afraid we don't have an answer for Morant, and trying to focus more on him just opens up their three-point shooters which we already struggle with.

Hope we can pull off a win, but won't be surprised if this game goes the same as the last.

[Joseph Kony]

if this team has any balls they will show up and play harder tonight than they have all season. not expecting much though. would be nice if Victor can figure out how to take advantage of a midget on him already

[LeBowen]

Wemby will have a great game and we'll still lose.

[slick'81]

Spurs about to lose 5/6

[Duncan2177]

Hopefully the team gets their heads out of their asses and start winning.

[Mugen]

Would like to see them show some pride/fight tonight. Especially given how Shooter Morant was dancing his ass off after every made basket (and even ones that didn't count) last game tbh :lol

[objective]

Is Sochan back to make Castle worse?

[slick'81]

Is morant gonna tell wemby to get the f outta his face again:rollin

[rascal]

Spurs take this game. Wemby comes out inspired tonight after a poor game last time.

[Robz4000]

This'll go just like last game tbh.

[scott]

Is Sochan back to make Castle worse?

Sochan is out again tonight

[z0sa]

Sochan is out again tonight

I suck on the financial side of basketball, but is there any way we can sign-and-trade Sochan any time soon, preferably with an overpay (for Sochan) that nets us something like an actual backup center or someone who can be a stretch 4/5 with actual shooting, rebounding and size for Wemby?

We can trade Sochan at any time. He is eligible for an extension this summer. If he signs that, IIRC, there will be a 6-month moratorium on trading him for the date of signing his extension. This happened with Lauri Markkanen this past summer, he signed his extension such that the 6-month moratorium expires the day after the trade deadline, meaning he can't be traded this year. But that was somewhat due to some weird leftover stuff from COVID.

[Leetonidas]

Seriously what is up with Sochan? Back thing is becoming worrisome

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs could've won last game if they adjusted and didn't come out flat in the 2nd half. I just hope we play hard for a full 48 minutes and the coaching staff makes proper adjustments.

[heyheymymy]

:flag:

Maybe contain Kennard and Huff on the perimeter this time

[heyheymymy]

I always liked LaRavia. Fucking robbed 1 pick before us. Reminds me of how Tari Eason went right before us too. Hell, I bet Dyson Daniels belongs in this sentiment and I love Sochan. 2022 draft, man.

[scott]

He'll be unrestricted this summer - he's on my list of targets!

[Splits]

Seriously what is up with Sochan? Back thing is becoming worrisome

the longer he's out the better for the team

[heyheymymy]

Are they holding Sochan out in trade discussions, perhaps? This back soreness lingers oddly. Also wondering if they like a continuing look at Castle with the starting 5 so maybe they are holding long on Sochan's return or something.

[Tyronn Lue]

By the middle of the 3rd, what's the +/- on which Spurs player needs to go and a random "I told you so" appears, vs which Spurs player is better than we thought and a random "I told you so" appears?
Which player?

[Jordan Jackson]

Gap Morant and make him shoot jumpers. If he beats you with jumpshots shake his hand and move on to the next game. Stop taking the bait on every fake.

Spurs got some really dumb players.

The Grizzlies pretty much foul on every possession and dare the refs to make a call. Grow a pair and play through the contact.

[RC_Drunkford]

The starting line up with Sochan and Vassell has actually a better net rating than the one with Castle and Champagnie, but psst… they don’t want you to know that :lol

[cutewizard]

Find something deep inside Spurs.......

Go Spurs go!

The Spurs lady died recently, i heard they're going to give her a tribute during halftime

[scott]

Interesting this announcement (which now makes him ineligible for All-NBA) comes without any details in regards to an injury. Off-the-court related perhaps?

[rascal]

Spurs get a break. Now they will win.

Need that top 4 pick this year instead of worthless wins against teams missing their best players.

[ace3g]

darn foot soreness

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GhczGpvWcAAG6XB?format=jpg&name=small

[Raven]

there are very few teams, for which the opposing franchise player's presence, is paramount to the team winning.. spurs have a capability to play down to the opposition, that is truly infuriating.

[Guru of Nothing]

Go Spurs Go tbh

[heyheymymy]

Damn that sucks Ja is out

Pussification of the League continues, literally national TV and your poor little foot is sore. These guys are all divas

Blame Pop for starting that sht.

[TheBallsbreakers]

TJ Ford speaks like A.I. with these cookie-cutter, one-sentence responses to Dan Weiss. haha

[SPURt]

I miss watching Tim Duncan play basketball

[z0sa]

Blame Pop for starting that sht.

I do, and did, have, and will continue to. That said, it's not like Ja Morant has a massive streak of playoff runs peppered with rings for reasoning behind it.

[LeBowen]

Castle on Kennard and Devin on Bane? Hopefully it won't be the matchup all game long, makes no sense.

[scott]

Back to Edey on Castle. Hopefully Steph attacks early and often

[slick'81]

Edey bullying downlow

[LeBowen]

Some more bad offense from Castle, am I right?

[ace3g]

Castle with 2 nice dunks.

[scott]

Hell yeah Steph. Exactly what you were calling for since last game LeBowen

[slick'81]

Castke just needs to attack the paint at will .these memphis guards aint shit

[Raven]

yeah i think the grizz are going to insert pippen very quickly :rollin

[Spurs Brazil]

Castle with a great start

[Uriel]

Go Spurs!

[Obstructed_View]

For anyone who compares the progress of Castle to Branham or Wesley, they have never done what Castle just did.

[ginobilized]

Grizz are getting some Castle Hassle

Vassell has closed out nicely on Bane on 2 possessions that forced him to pass while in the air

[ace3g]

Castle again

[slick'81]

GEt that shit outta here

[scott]

They went away from Edey pretty quickly after getting abused by Castle. Steph still taking it to ‘em though

[scott]

Vassell playing great D so far. If he could do this every game and pump in an efficient 15-18pts, that would be awesome

[slick'81]

Oh nice pass! Damn bassey blew it

[scott]

JESUS CHRIST BASSEY MAKE A LAYUP

[skin27]

Wemby cant do sht on offense

[Raven]

this should be a 40+ point blowout tbh

[Pauleta14]

Rotations and linups don't make any sense

Why not leave Wemby on the floor with JJJ on the bench so he gets into his groove vs the 2nd unit?

Wemby doesn't need adversaries, his has his franchise taking care of everything smh

[onechance87]

why take out castle out when hes tearing this memphis team up...But leave that worthless bum vassell in.Dumbass coach.

[skin27]

Stupid ass vassel

[Knoxxx]

It’s beginning to appear that fully unleashing Castle may not be conducive to tanking.

[Pauleta14]

Mitch is angry :lmao

[Guru of Nothing]

Bassey makes a layup.

[Pauleta14]

why take out castle out when hes tearing this memphis team up...But leave that worthless bum vassell in.Dumbass coach.

Another proof even journalists don't watch the Spurs, probably just highlights and boxscores...

Mitch is so bad

[heyheymymy]

Castle on the absolute warpath tonight.

[scott]

Our bench is just straight dogwater. This is the case for starting Castle and Champ, at least infuse the bench with Vassell and Sochan so we have a fighting chance of withstanding those minutes

[spursistan]

What the hell is going on with Wemby on offense lately?

[Knoxxx]

Wake me up when Wemby score another basket…

[Pauleta14]

I know Champ is a decnt 3pt shooter and cheap blabla ... but man all the rest is garbage, ball handling, passing...smh

[ginobilized]

All we need are two upgrades: Starters and Bench and we are golden

[skin27]

What the hell is going on with Wemby on offense lately?


like i said if his 3’s doesnt fall he doesnt do much on offense. Its better to play him like lma and be a mid range specialist

[heyheymymy]

Castle carrying our team

[Pauleta14]

What the hell is going on with Wemby on offense lately?

Probably a bit tired with his activity on both ends every games but also not looked at all by his teammates.

Reduced to do it all by himself or shoot a 3

[scott]

Castle read my posts about his career high being inefficient and is just going out and playing the perfect game :lol

[heyheymymy]

Did a Grizzles insult Castle's honor or something

[Knoxxx]

Wemby passing the team alpha torch to Castle.

[Tyronn Lue]

Is Victor thinking DPOY so he's ignoring offensive end to focus on defense? He's got that locked up I think. His rebounding and shot blocking has been good, but scoring really took a recent nose dive.

[scott]

That skip pass by Castle :smokin

[ginobilized]

Couple of nice sequences

[Knoxxx]

If they ever crack down on carrying Castle will be unplayable.

[Spurs Brazil]

Wemby 3!

[ginobilized]

If they ever crack down on carrying Castle will be unplayable.

It's been on the docket for 45 years, hopefully, Castle has retired by the time they drop the hammer

[Pauleta14]

Castle needs to keep going so Mitch doesn't even think of taking him out of the SL when Sochan comes back

[Knoxxx]

It's been on the docket for 45 years, hopefully, Castle has retired by the time they drop the hammer

Well he’s definitely figured out how to work the system in the meantime!

[Pauleta14]

Is Victor thinking DPOY so he's ignoring offensive end to focus on defense? He's got that locked up I think. His rebounding and shot blocking has been good, but scoring really took a recent nose dive.

We have other "weapons" to score

His defense is the only reason we're around 50%

He's clearly tired and makes the best choice by default (+ his teammates don't try to help really)

[Guru of Nothing]

Dr. Champ!

[TheBallsbreakers]

Jaren Jackson Jr.'s offensive game is ugly but effective.

[ginobilized]

Castle does not look at all like a rookie tonight

[slick'81]

Barnes putting in work

[Knoxxx]

That’s funny if their go to is Jackson 1 v 1 driving on Wemby.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Jackson Jr. is Wemby's B!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Wemby block!!

[skin27]

Wemby just standing and looking at the ball bounce to kennard. Get the REBOUND!!!

[Knoxxx]

Wemby definitely lazy tonight! :lmao

[Manu-of-steel]

Castle sure knows how to get fouls.

[z0sa]

When is Wemby going to have a go to move?

[heyheymymy]

Castle on that grind

[Knoxxx]

Castle can draw those annoying fouls in bushels.

[skin27]

wemby needs yo learn from castle on how not to be scared of contact and attack the paint.

[Knoxxx]

Castle sure knows how to get fouls.

Classic run stopping maneuver of a savvy player.

[Pauleta14]

And now that MEM is over the limit Mitch gets Wemby out and will bring back for 2 min... :lol

[LeBowen]

Bassey is so unaware at times, already failed to anticipate two passes while he was under the basket.

[ginobilized]

Grizz 2nd string is killing us, again

[Manu-of-steel]

Castle is stronger than most players his size. Wemby isnt there yet

[TheBallsbreakers]

Bane always talking shit.

[LeBowen]

Is Mitch a degenerate? Why is Devin on Bane when he obviously can't do shit due to strength difference.
Just put Castle on Bane and Devin on Kennard, ffs.

[Obstructed_View]

Must be nice to get whistles on contact. Wonder what that's like.

[Knoxxx]

Bassey is so unaware at times, already failed to anticipate two passes while he was under the basket.

As bad as MEM had been at stopping Castle I was like WTF you pass it? A botched lob would have been more palatable than that BS.

[skin27]

Castle is stronger than most players his size. Wemby isnt there yet

nah. Wemby is just scared of contact

[heyheymymy]

Chuck Bass very aggressive tonight

[Knoxxx]

This game is reminding us that bringing in 3-4 rookies is not actually a bad roster purge strategy.

[onechance87]

does vassell want to help today or nah

[spursistan]

Something is deeply rotten when your rookie is the only guy who shows up for a revenge game..

[Spurs Brazil]

Wemby to the bench and big run for Memphis. Every game is the same shit

[Obstructed_View]

Wow. Memphis found a guy in the second round who can make a three pointer.

[Knoxxx]

Bassey is so unaware at times, already failed to anticipate two passes while he was under the basket.

That said, it’s probably stupider to pass the ball to Bassey than for him not to expect the pass.

[Obstructed_View]

wemby needs yo learn from castle on how not to be scared of contact and attack the paint.

Not sure what fucking game you're watching. :lmao

[heyheymymy]

more uncontested threes

[NASpurs]

CP3 is getting a nice horseshoe on top of his dome.

[Knoxxx]

Wow. Memphis found a guy in the second round who can make a three pointer.

I like the idea bringing in more draft picks than we have lately but cutting them loose faster if they don’t produce.

[onechance87]

second round gem memphis got in the second round with wells that we passed on.While we cant see talent

[spursistan]

Wemby is back... to being an afterthought on offense

[LeBowen]

Nice last shot by Kobe.

Wemby has to step up and win this game.

[skin27]

Lmao wemby wasnt able to check in

[TheBallsbreakers]

Victor Wembanyama, the invisible 7'5 superstar.

[heyheymymy]

Devin can't do anything with 15 sec and the ball

[Spurs Brazil]

Mitch Johnson is very very bad with the rotations. Spurs had FTs with 2:53 to go. Why the fuck he didn’t bring Wemby back????

Called Wemby 30 seconds after it, the game never stops and Wemby didn’t came back

[Knoxxx]

Vassel only two shots? What are we paying him like 100-k per shot!?!

[ginobilized]

Post game on Wed Vassell said how much he's looking forward to tonight and playing better.

Survey says........wrong!

[timtonymanu]

I’ll wait until the game ends to give my final thoughts but this feels very rinse and repeat of a meltdown in the 2nd half where the spurs give up 40 points in a quarter.

[100%duncan]

What a very long first half. Spurs struggling heavily as JJJ and Bane score at will

[Pauleta14]

Wemby to the bench and big run for Memphis. Every game is the same shit

Still waiting for a "normal" top player rotation for Wemby...

Those last min of 1st /2nd/3rd quarter + integrality of the 4th are just plain stupid

[timtonymanu]

Post game on Wed Vassell said how much he's looking forward to tonight and playing better.

Survey says........wrong!

Does absolutely nothing else when he can’t score.

[onechance87]

vassell gotta do something,On pace to score 6 points for the game.Rooke outplaying him man wtf.

[scott]

Nice half from CBass

[100%duncan]

Nice last shot by Kobe.

Wemby has to step up and win this game.

As much as he did everything elite last game but score, this is true. Last game the game was for the taking for Wemby to win it in the 4th, he didnt. Hope he can do it tonight tbh. This honestly feels like another loss.

[NASpurs]

vassell gotta do something,On pace to score 6 points for the game.Rooke outplaying him man wtf.

He's consistently inconsistent so at least this is on par.

[spursistan]

Nice last shot by Kobe.

Wemby has to step up and win this game.
Gotta say it was a disappointing response from him for a supposed revenge game. You would think Castle was the one who got punked with a viral poster the other day.

[Pauleta14]

Post game on Wed Vassell said how much he's looking forward to tonight and playing better.

Survey says........wrong!

Yeah he also said they'd look to facilitate Wemby on offense as well.

This dude shouldn't be listened to

[ginobilized]

Aldama and Kennard really cause us problems

[100%duncan]

I’ll wait until the game ends to give my final thoughts but this feels very rinse and repeat of a meltdown in the 2nd half where the spurs give up 40 points in a quarter.

Yup. There’s a very ominous vibe to this game. It really feels like a collapse is coming

[all blacks]

I'm done with Mitch. Enough. He's just the continuation of a system that has already given everything it has. Thank you and let's move on. It's impossible to expect him to do things different from what he learned from his mentor.
It can't be that for more than half of the quarter the team had the advantage of having Grizz in foul trouble and not attacking the rim brings out their best weapons and those left don't know what to do.
Castle and Wemby are the spectators of luxury. He transfers the time and with exactly 2 minutes left he calls Victor. He can't even enter the field. It's ridiculous. We don't just need a number 2 and a backup center. We need a coach.

[scott]

Kind of wild, MEM has 10 more shots than us, but we’re winning the REB battle and TOs are a little high, but not too high. Our shot count is a little artificially low to fouls… but would not have expected a 10 shot differential

[scott]

He's consistently inconsistent so at least this is on par.

Was told early today Vassell was “pretty darn good, consistently”

his defense is a little better today, at least

[Spurs Homer]

Vassell really is showing the world tonight how badly he was looking forward to getting revenge on the grizz….


also

spurs org needs to stop fucking around with this G league coaching bullshit…

let pop stay out- hire some REAL ESTABLISHED COACH NOW!

this is just mismanagement of wembys career…

[onechance87]

Was a mistake to bring vassell back in the starting lineup.Needs to go back to the bench.Put champ back to start.

[NASpurs]

Was told early today Vassell was “pretty darn good, consistently”

his defense is a little better today, at least

I guess shooting 40% on 16 shots for 17 points a game in January is good. The bar has been lowered.

[Knoxxx]

Everything else seems like a sideshow compared to the clear indications we are seeing that the table is setting nicely for the torch to pass from Paul to Castle in the second half of the season.

[SupremeGuy]

Wemby passing the team alpha torch to Castle.I think I made that comment after last game lol Imagine if in a few years we're talking about Castle as the franchise and Wemby is Robin. I mean they're both young as fuck but man it'd be nice if Wemby had some of Castle's balls tbh.

[onechance87]

vassell is bad at d...wtf yall watching

[LeBowen]

When will they call an offensive foul on JJJ?
He blatantly pushes off on every single drive.

[ace3g]

50/50 balls, Spurs nemesis ...

[Knoxxx]

Seems like the ball is bouncing MEM way more often than not.

[ginobilized]

Spurs ought to run a play for Wemby

Just spit-ballin' here

[scott]

Is Jaylen Wells related to Bonzi by any chance? I’m not ready for a generation for another Memphis player from that family causing us trouble

[TheBallsbreakers]

Wemby really is just a role player on offense.

[Larry O]

Geez! Here goes the d-rebounding conundrum!

[Knoxxx]

Vassel is a clunky, awkward player.

[NASpurs]

Holy shit, Vassell is a fucking bum. Fuck this guy.

[spursistan]

This game already feels over. And yeah we need a massive coaching upgrade..

[scott]

Aldama and Kennard are just Memphis’ JAGs but they’d both be in our Top 5 players :lol

[heyheymymy]

AREA 51

aliens are robots

It's not like coaching is going to fix the lack of talent on this roster.

Wemby smiled

good things ahead

[Larry O]

Man, the Spurs just can't cash in on scoring opportunities!

[Knoxxx]

Wemby is OK, just get REBs and blocks until the offense is flowing again. It’s the whole rest of our team other than Castle that worries me.

[ace3g]

FT issues tonight even effecting CP3...

[skin27]

Wemby playing like a role player yet again

[all blacks]

8:11 left.
5 Grizz Fouls
Let's see what this team does and what our Master Mind says to finish the fourth strong.

[BackHome]

Vassell 4 points and 0 rebounds is just not going to cut it

[heyheymymy]

Devin is mentally already in Paris

[KobesAchilles]

I love the offense tonight. Running plays for Castle and Vassell instead of Wemby is the right play. I also love Vassell’s aggressiveness. He literally is a shooting guard. It doesn’t say passing guard. He gets the ball and shoots the ball. Why change what isn’t broken?

[heyheymymy]

Vassell

-7
2-6 fg
3 ast : 3 turnovers
2 fouls
goaltending

[LeBowen]

Good reaction by the coaching staff, as per usual.

[scott]

Wemby thought he was lobbing it to Wemby

[baseline bum]

WTF Spurs would have won that if Coach Fivehead challenged the block

[Knoxxx]

Spurs are over passing like Harlem Globetrotters.

[benefactor]

Confusing offensive game plan tbh

[Leetonidas]

God this team sucks

[TheBallsbreakers]

The coaching staff just sucks ass. Did not even bother to challenge that obvious block by Vassell.

[Gibbz]

CHALLENGE THE FUCKING CALL MITCH JESUS CHRIST

[spursparker9]

Not too late to tank. Just saying

[Spurs Brazil]

Johnson can’t call a fucking play to get Wemby going. 0 FGA in the 3rd for Wemby. Terrible job by Johnson today

[Pauleta14]

Mitch refusing to challenge when his whole staff asks him to

Cp3 not seing Wemby 1meter from him below the rim

Even the rare high IQ are infected with this roster :lol

[AusSpur]

WTF Spurs would have won that if Coach Fivehead challenged the block

No coach challenges less than Mitch.

[Knoxxx]

This type of showing can earn a delicious amount of additional ping pong balls.

[100%duncan]

The only challenge Mitch has in his life is being mentally retarded

[z0sa]

Doesn’t Secaucus automatically review these or something? IE no challenge needed? If not, Mitch a damn fool

[TheBallsbreakers]

I'm starting to think Wemby is just too "coachable" and just is too nice and selfless.
Like he's acting like he really does not care about his points.
Which is usually a good thing, especially if there's an actual game plan in place.
But there really is none.

[spursistan]

The coaching issue becoming a bigger liability with each game tbh

[slick'81]

Thatblue on sochan is dope

[onechance87]

coaching staff and development team needs to fired,Our young players are getting worst this year.

[Larry O]

After all that passing with the Spurs ball movement, they are more tired than the Grizz, so when attempt to score, the scorer is so tired he can't score. SMH...

[slick'81]

Lets go devin

[Obstructed_View]

No coach challenges less than Mitch.
:pop:

Vassel wakes up!!!

[Pauleta14]

I get it, PATFO wants to showcase Devin to raise his value for a future trade...

Geniuses

[heyheymymy]

Bass attack

[heyheymymy]

Devin playing like the acid just kicked in

[scott]

Absolutely huge stint by Devin in the 3rd to keep up even remotely in this game. Without him we’re down 15+ right now.

Credit where it is due. If he could play that consistently, it would be a game changer

[Pauleta14]

Please get Tre the fuck out of the floor

[onechance87]

keldon is so bad

[timtonymanu]

Well Vassell showed up but no one else has.

[skin27]

Wemby entered the game and all of a sudden is a 12 pt lead

[LeBowen]

At least Castle had a great showing, I got no hopes for these other scrubs.

[benefactor]

Garbage. Absolute garbage

[Larry O]

The Spurs are allowing the Grizzlies wide open lanes to score @

[scott]

LOL, team fell apart when Wemby came back in for Bassey

[timtonymanu]

Well there’s that meltdown I was expecting.

[Pauleta14]

Why Tre playing??

Seriously...

[spursistan]

Officially concerned with Wemby disappearing acts

[slick'81]

Memphis is obviously a better team but damn

[all blacks]

With over 8 minutes left to play. One trip to the line. Vassell. This team is brainless.

[TrueSpursFan]

Why is castle on the bench

[timtonymanu]

I’m so ready for a tank now. What’s the point of fighting for the play in when you know this team will finish 11-13 at best. Just give it up and start making moves to improve this team. I don’t want this “run it back with the same group” shit.

[Obstructed_View]

Well at least they aren't losing close games anymore.

[onechance87]

This fcking hurts

[Obstructed_View]

Why Tre playing??

Seriously...

He's so awful.

[baseline bum]

Absolutely huge stint by Devin in the 3rd to keep up even remotely in this game. Without him we’re down 15+ right now.

Credit where it is due. If he could play that consistently, it would be a game changer

Down 15 anyways

[Guru of Nothing]

This is firing offense stuff

[timtonymanu]

A 16-0 run to end that quarter. Fucking pathetic.

[benefactor]

Officially concerned with Wemby disappearing acts
What do you expect? They aren't running anything that even remotely looks like an offense.

[Knoxxx]

I’m turning it off the Tik Tok drama is more interesting than this and I don’t even have the app.

[spursfan 73]

I’m so over Mitch Johnson man. Dude is way in over his head and looks competely shell shocked. Just wasting a potential season.

[spursparker9]

Why is castle on the bench

He need to get over himself - Mitch

[scott]

That was a quite thorough shit pushing

[Uriel]

:lol

[LeBowen]

I’m so ready for a tank now. What’s the point of fighting for the play in when you know this team will finish 11-13 at best. Just give it up and start making moves to improve this team. I don’t want this “run it back with the same group” shit.

We can't tank.
No way to catch up with those 7 tanking teams, it's irrelevant if we get 8th or 10th best odds, we're not making the play-in, anway.

[Spurs Brazil]

This team is pathetic

[Devi8or]

This could be the worst 3rd quarter team in history....its like clockwork every game

[100%duncan]

Done with this team :lol





Hope they actually fall down further. Maybe the only chance the non-existent FO does anything

[benefactor]

Down 15 anyways
Yep. Empty calories Vassell. Gives and then gives back

[Mugen]

Did Mitch literally just throw in the towel during that run? Wtf was that lmao

[spursistan]

Revenge game they said :lol

[AusSpur]

A Mitch Johnson special - Grizzlies go on a 16-0 run and he does absolutely nothing to stop it, no sub, no timeout.

[Leetonidas]

Yeah Mitch Johnson sucks. Spurs need a real fucking coach already

[Gibbz]

What had been an even game turned on a dime when Mitch had his thumb up his ass after the goaltending call.
