Game Thread: Spurs vs Grizzlies -- Fri. (12/1) - 7:00/C (3:00am Riga Time)

:lma All - Star

Lauvergne... :bang

Timely threes keeping the Spurs with a solid lead :tu

Lauvergne is going to play. Just gotta get used to seeing him out there and get back in the swing of things. To go thru camp, play well early on, then be injured wasn't ideal. He'll need more time to get acclimated. We know bigs usually take longer in our system, this isnt new

But with our Frontline, he's going to see some time. Just the reality at this time.

King Joffrey has turned into Court Jester Joffrey.

Lauvergne sucks right now baby to you have to play him. He's the only other big...:lmao

Did Forbes take out Parsons? :lol

Meh.

Chandler Parson's body breaking down b4 our eyes. Dude is in worse shape than wolverine Tony.

He's a +5 in that lineup thanks to a HORSE 3 from Nashville from Manu and some LTrain ... he was horrible the entire time.

Dam that Rudy Gay putback :wow

Spurs shat the bed there at the end of the half. Too many mistakes at the end of defensive possessions let Memphis claw within single digits again.

Joffrey is looking like Ayres out there.

Good sign that the athleticism is still there. Only going to get better as season progresses.

That is the player that Pop has molded. I haven't checked, but if you were to graph Kawhi's usage it would show a fairly steady increase for his first 3 seasons and rising steeply since then. I am not sure when Pop first envisioned Kawhi as a Kobe-type player, but that vision has guided Pop for the last 3+ seasons. Maybe the fact that he never has had such a player is what has driven Pop to mold both player and team to fit that image.

Memphis' defensive intensity really picked up, too. Much higher defensive intensity than Wednesday. They didn't sustain it for very long, but it was very good for a spurt.

Lee would have been better (assuming that injury wasnt worse than we knew)

Shocked that Tyreke played 14 minutes and has zero shot attempts.

Funny, but sadly true. He will probably be jettisoned for some burned-out mid-season buyout or waiver victim.

Until he announced his retirement, I kind of thought Joff might get axed in order to bring back Lee.
