Darrell Arthur was not responsible for this performance tonight. Not even close
Like last year, the Spurs have failed to adress the power forward and small forward position. This year's Memphis Grizzlies have exploited this weakness by using Darell Arthur. If the Spurs want to avoid last year's early exit they must address this issue.
Last year the Spurs got swept in part due to Channing Frye's super play in the same forward position.
Darrell Arthur was not responsible for this performance tonight. Not even close
Uh, not having a point guard is probably higher on the list.
That's a big part of it.
Darrell Arthur is having a field day what are you talking about?!
If I remember correctly, the Spurs had a healthy parker against the Suns last year.
To add to this rebuttal, rebounding and 2nd chance pts have killed the Spurs tonight. I believe Darrell Arthur is prime suspect number 1 on this matter.
Problem with this game was turnovers. That's what happens when you lose your starting point guard.
I am the first to say, well this game doesn't matter when I know the Spurs didn't seem in sync with things or if its against a non playoff team. But the Grizzlies are a dangerous team and not a team to take lightly. They are our 1st round playoff opponent most likely.
Shall I remind you all that Marc Gasol was ejected?
Quinn is having a bad game too.
21 points on 19 shots, over half of which came in garbage time against a guy who's coming back from an injury is a field day? Again, look at what caused the fourth quarter to be garbage time.
On a bright note, Novak gets some time on the floor.
Not enough defense to make up for the lack of offense... on top of that, terrible ball handling
Points off turnovers were ridiculous. Hard to play defense well enough to make up for that.
How I'd love to have seen Jacque Vaughn on the Spurs bench tonight.
Spurs weakness is that they don't have their starting PG/argubly best player tonight.
THAT IS ALL.
Speaking of small forward, I'm not sure we have a starter anymore. Jefferson has been that poor and irrelevant.
Losing this game couldn't have helped the brewer situation.
Actually George Hill was the best player on the Grizzlies tonight. He has been here long enough to know how to run this team. He looked like a deer in headlights against the trap tonight. Reminded me a bit of Beno Udrih in game 4 of the 2005 Finals. He was a walking turnover tonight.
I hate to be this critical of the man, but he played like he had no clue what he was doing out there.
The grizzlies were running shooting layups on us all night! Surely others could have done more
Take away at least half of the turnovers/points off turnovers, and the Spurs would have been right there. Unfortunately that didn't happen. Lesson (hopefully) learned.
Who can defend against it when the ball is turned over in the backcourt?
Actually, he was.
