Memphis vs. San Antonio Jan. 7 -- Game Blog

[ashbeeigh]

Didn't see it started. Tony's out with a hip strain. :madrun

[Crazy Ray]

Tony got pwned the last game and the spurts ace the same fate today.

[Kori Ellis]

Who's starting?

[Spurs Brazil]

Beno

[ducks]

tp is hurt
there goes the season

[Kori Ellis]

Beno

Showcase injury.

[ashbeeigh]

If Beno can hit the shots they may be alright. He had a career night in his first start. If not...

[timvp]

Better be a heck of a "hip strain". Spurs need to end the losing.

[ducks]

BENO BETTER NOT GET HURT SINCE THIS IS A SHOWCASE INJURY for tp

[MannyIsGod]

Beno needs to go off so that they can ship his ass off.

[Kori Ellis]

I'm rooting for Beno to have 25/10 (and a Spurs victory).

[angel_luv]

Beno


And I am stuck at work until after tip off. :pctoss


Beno is going to be awesome. The team is going to rock. Everyone is going to contribute and we're going to win big.
So excited!

:cheer :D :cheer

[timvp]

BENO BETTER NOT GET HURT SINCE THIS IS A SHOWCASE INJURY for tp

:lol

That was classic last year when Tony missed a game and Beno started ... and then got hurt on the first play of the game :rollin

[angel_luv]

You're going to want to keep Beno after today- just watch. :)

[ducks]

GOOD thing spurs are playing mem
not a real nba team to showcase beno

[Kori Ellis]

You're going to want to keep Beno after today- just watch. :)

You realize if Beno does well, that's good for him leaving not staying.

[Kori Ellis]

GOOD thing spurs are playing mem
not a real nba team to showcase beno

Who knows if Tony is really hurt. I just said showcase injury as a joke.

But it's odd that Tony being banged up wasn't mentioned in Ludden's preview.

[angel_luv]

You realize if Beno does well, that's good for him leaving not staying.


:( Well that's ugly- the reality not you, Kori. :)

I want Beno to do awesome and stay here.

[timvp]

Since Tony Barone took over, the Grizzlies has played a run and gun style. With Tony out, they may just run the Spurs out of the gym. The Spurs will need one of the point guards to at least be decent or else this could be loss number four.

[Kori Ellis]

Oberto is starting in Horry's place.

[smeagol]

3 losses is enough.

Enough I say!

[Crazy Ray]

We can all hope. :fro

[timvp]

Oberto is starting in Horry's place.

I wonder if Horry is going to play or it's going to be all Bonner.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, they're only care in the world now is to get a shot up. The Spurs better out rebound them or else its not going to be pretty.

[MannyIsGod]

I hate that Oberto is starting, but I knew that was going to happen because of the game he had. That Dallas game was fools gold for Oberto.

I hope Bonner gets 25+ minutes.

[timvp]

Memphis is averaging 110+ in their last 10 games. Their low point game in that stretch is 97 points.

This'll be a good test for the Spurs' D.

[objective]

He had a career night in his first start. If not...

while that's true, it was against a Hornets team that was incredibly bad.

Dickau, Nailon and Voskuhl started.

[Spurs Brazil]

How many time TP will miss?

[ducks]

not nearly as much as if manu was hurt instead of him

[Texas_Ranger]

You better win tonights Spurs.

[Crazy Ray]

Parker hurt his hip while running away from his desperate housewhore who had strapped on a dildo and was trying to impale his poop chute.

Johnny Ludden: Parker out

Tony Parker was a surprise scratch from the lineup for this afternoon's game against Memphis.

Parker worked out before the game, but came into the locker room and said his right hip was too tight. He apparently strained sometime in the Dallas game.

The Spurs had been expecting Parker to play. Beno Udrih will start in his place.

Coach Gregg Popovich doesn't think the injury is severe and Parker could be back for Tuesday's game against Portland.

[Bruno]

^ Parker injury doesn't look like a showcase injury for Beno.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Game time....

[smeagol]

not nearly as much as if manu was hurt instead of him
Well done, idiot.

I don't care if Beano has 35 and 20 today. Move his soft ass. Trade him for fucking Nesterovic, I don't care.

Hell yes. Who gives a fuck if Beno has a triple double tonight vs. Memphis. He has proven over and over he is complete shit in important games. Pop has officially become senile when he put Beno in for the 10+ seconds in the second half vs. Mavs. What the fuck was that about???

Its going to take more than a 1 minute hot streak to convince me that Horry isn't worthless.

[Tek_XX]

I just realized that Bonner is a significant part of out bench, gawd that's horrible.

[VaSpursFan]

tim getting his 3 blocked...LOL

[CubanMustGo]

Does Beano have his typical deer-in-the-headlight look today? From the ticker it would seem so ...

[itzsoweezee]

duncan and oberto play well together. any idiot can see that. so why can't pop?

[Tek_XX]

Bonner's specialty a three.......CLANK

[sa_butta]

Duncan 1-5 :depressed

[Tek_XX]

Finley's specialty shooting the ball........CLANK!!!!!

[Kori Ellis]

Finley's specialty shooting the ball........CLANK!!!!!

So you are just here to bitch at every missed shot?

[sa_butta]

Everyone who was hot is on the bench.

[Das Texan]

Why is Finley in the game?

[Tek_XX]

So you are just here to bitch at every missed shot?

No just pointing out that he sucks

[boutons_]

With 6 3Gs today, Spurs in trouble.

It the 3Gs stop falling...

[sa_butta]

Pau thats 3.

[VaSpursFan]

damn...i love bonner's energy...LOL

[MannyIsGod]

The D has gone into the shitter. They need to pick it up.

[sa_butta]

where is the D?

[Jobbs]

Vaughn is the future!

[dallaskd]

Memphis playing ya tough? :lol

[Tek_XX]

Vaughn is the future!

Future of what??

[Tek_XX]

Memphis playing ya tough? :lol

Don't worry about games in January.

[WalterBenitez]

all i know is that if the Spurs loose today this website will explode.
:pctoss not only this site, but don't worry I expect a win :drunk

[Jobbs]

Future of what??


backup point guards that will go down in Spurs history :downspin:

Which include Speedy and NVE

[VaSpursFan]

great extra pass by horry

[1Parker1]

Damn, it's 2005 Manu!!

[Tek_XX]

Has Manu always been a three point shooter?

[doldrums]

can someone else join Manu and play with passion. Man he looks good today.

[1Parker1]

Has Manu always been a three point shooter?


I think he's gotten better after all his injuries. When he came back from all those contusion injuries, he was hesitant to drive and instead worked on bettering his jumpshots, particularly his 3 point shot.

[CubanMustGo]

can someone else play with passion

This should be the '06-'07 Spurs mantra. When they play with spirit they kick butt. Too often (and especially as of late) they play like they don't give a shit.

[fred33]

memphis is really a poor team

[nkdlunch]

Manu is what prevents the world from calling this team an embarrassment

[Kori Ellis]

Manu really turned it on in that stretch, hopefully he can keep it up in the second half. And hopefully a couple other players show up.

at half

[timvp]

Well, so far it looks like the Spurs have done nothing on their to-do list. Horry and Bonner still splitting minutes. Barry and Finley still splitting minutes.

So much for the adjustments.

:shootme

[MannyIsGod]

Exactly, WTF

[1Parker1]

Well, so far it looks like the Spurs have done nothing on their to-do list. Horry and Bonner still splitting minutes. Barry and Finley still splitting minutes.

So much for the adjustments.

:shootme


:lol I bet you none of that is going to happen. The only thing from the article I can see happening is Parker playing more minutes. Pop and R.C. are going to rely on Duncan, Parker, and Manu playing out of their minds in the playoffs and beating the Mavs that way.

[Tek_XX]

Well, so far it looks like the Spurs have done nothing on their to-do list. Horry and Bonner still splitting minutes. Barry and Finley still splitting minutes.

:shootme

Pop is one stubborn bastard

[ducks]

maybe spurs are hoping to trade then make the adjustments
tp is hurt so maybe they want to start the adjustments next game
with the new spur players

[Tek_XX]

I don't think the grizz are handling the new coaching situation very well.

[Das Texan]

i'm glad that manu is playing like the vintage manu from 2003, when he was probably the best we have ever seen and a close, close 2 in terms of most effective player on this team.


Hopefully this continues into the summer.

[VaSpursFan]

that was an outstanding pass by oberto to a cutting timmy

[Tek_XX]

Spurs letting them back in it.

[phxspurfan]

this is sad. we should be blowing this team out.

[Spurs Brazil]

After see Beno I understand why Pop went with NVE last season

[ducks]

this is sad. we should be blowing this team out.

spurs are missing their starting quarterback or point guard

[1Parker1]

Damn, if it weren't for Ginobili, Spurs would be losing this game right now...

[doldrums]

[MannyIsGod]

Horry's best game of the season. I need to call him out more often.

[VaSpursFan]

[Tek_XX]

Pop quickly take Horry out.

[ducks]

by not getting offessive fouls called him

[Das Texan]

Where did Horry find the fountain of youth at this morning?

[Spurs Brazil]

[Das Texan]

both finley and horry not looking like shit today.

[1Parker1]

Damn, Finley is even rebounding...

[ducks]

3 turnovers and 4 steals
so basically one steal
wow :spin

[doldrums]

horry has chane to be high scorer today. I think his stat line today is better than his last 10 games combined. Maybe he felt vulnerable to being benched.

mike finley with 6 rebounds impressive

Oh but Manu isn't impressive. Why you a racist?
