Game Blog: Spurs vs. Grizzlies - 11.28.2008

Is it wrong when I say Parker was to blame for the loss?

[bdictjames]

I meant loss of defense.

[ILoveOranges]

Suddenly we have a deep bench.

[Kori Ellis]

Bowen was actually doing a great job on Mayo early in the game (same with last time they played Memphis the other night). But when Bowen's off of him, Mayo goes wild. Mayo and Gay are both damn good, though. Can't expect to hold them down.

I understand what your saying, my point is he is a poor rebounder, no threat on offense and now his defensive skills have slipped. Its one thing to have a guy out there who is a total lock down defender but cant give you much at the other end.....but when you go from lock down to just a good defender, your lack of other skills hurt your team.

And remember we have this problem at not only SF but Center as well. Can we win the west with below avg players maning the 3 and 5?

Well, he is still lockdown in stretches, and I think that's what you were overlooking.

He'll play fewer minutes this year, and rightfully so now that we have Manu and TP back.

As for winning the West, I don't think that will happen whatever we do.

Yes, we need a big, and yes we need a long 3, but you were saying Bowen is done and, while I thought he was in the first 7 games, he's since proven that he's not, he just has to be used wisely by Pop.

chemistry is the only thing holding the Spurs back right now.

Definitely....

once we get some chemistry, it's overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Indeed.

BTW, hi Kori! Long time no see. How are you?

[Capt Bringdown]

Why would TP be in the game at this point?

[timtonymanu]

Mason 3!

[ILoveOranges]

High scoring game huh? At least our offense has been sparked

[Spurs Brazil]

TP and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

TP layup!

[Reck]

Why would TP be in the game at this point?

To get and 1s of course.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs win!!!!!

[SpurAddict561]

Roger is definitely money from downtown....

he consistently shoots the 3...I love it

Brent who?

[milkyway21]

the defense is major !

right 90+ pts.
but still it's a W. I'm okay with that.

D on Houston is a must though.

20 pts Ma$on
GHill 7 assts

[timtonymanu]

Spurs win!

[td_tp_manu]

31 assists seems a lot

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TP Hill
Mason Manu Finley
Bowen Udoka

Suddenly that PG/swing rotation looks pretty damn solid.

Time for ian mahinmi to become Superman II, and we're all good!

[benefactor]

9-6 baby...gaining momentum.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

31 assists seems a lot

That's what we need to see. When the Spurs are passing well, that offence becomes very hard to stop.

We win something like 90% of our games with over 20 assists.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP 15pts 7asts - 16 minutes
manu 14pts 2asts - 20 minutes

[ducks]

hill 7 assist aslo
