Game 35: Spurs vs Grizzlies: Jan 7, 2014

[Budkin]

Once again I honestly astounded pop isn't seeing a major problem with tony, he's always been so quick to rest Manu and Tim. Regardless of whether his poor performance is fatigue related from France or not, he clearly needs a week off

It so obviously is. He needs at least 2 weeks imo

[timtonymanu]

I don't seem them sitting out. No reason to sit them out, they don't play again until Sunday...

Manu sits regardless

Game grades might be a while, guys. Unfortunately I've had a death in my extended family, and while I didn't want to bring that negativity to the game thread, it will probably mean the grades are pushed to tomorrow. I'll see if I can write them a bit sooner.

Ah so sorry bro. :-(

I feel like fans of other teams wait the entire game before saying anything. Just waiting to talk .

Hmmm. Lakers game was going on same time as this one ..which one should I care about more?
I saw the last few minutes on NBATV and thought I would mention what a great job Pop did of calling a play with counters ...don't see how that is talking "crap". I love Pop my favorite coach in the NBA right now.

But I forget how sensitive some fans are up here.
I thought since the sewers of the forum has such lil real basketball talk I would post here a bit more ...but it sounds like it's the same different zip code.

My condolences.

Hes been good for incredibly quick recoveries for years so im sure 2 weeks would do, but the dude just has no explosion

[aal04]

great.

lose center before a double header.

Go into a double OT for first game and lose best 6th man.

According to Sean, Will Sevening was not next to Manu on the bench so he thinks that hopefully it's just a cramp.

Game grades can wait. Don't worry about that right now.

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear. I have a much older cousin on life support (just found out today) so I understand. Glad you got a chance to get away from it for a while with a Spurs win ...

You're not gonna find real basketball talk up here. . After the Finals, it seems Spurs fans are more stupid than ever

No one wants to see them anyways.

Guess big 3 rest tomorrow against Dallas

Thanks but he may be able to RIP ... his wife doesn't want to let him go but cant see much quality of life for him at this point. Had a stroke and brain aneuryism.

LOL You took it the wrong way. I wasn't saying you were talking when you posted just now. I said I feel like people from other teams wait the entire game, before saying anything. Then I said "just waiting to talk ". That's based off of what I've seen from other fans on here. When the Spurs lose they flock to talk .

Again, I never said you were talking . If anyone is being sensitive, it's you. Take a chill pill, homie. I wasn't accusing you of anything. I guess when you spend more time in the "sewers", you just used to assuming that people are accusing you of things.

Hope they play minus Manu that's a real rivalry and how many times will we see Timmy and Dirk both healthy and playing well? Could be a rare treat tbh. Also two of the best coaches with most of their roster available should be good stuff.

[ace3g]

CIA Pop, he knew tomorrow's game was 2nd game of B2B and on ESPN

[ace3g]

Durant at 40 pts right now, probably needs 50+ to get the win

[Mikeanaro]

Refs sucked tonight, they were really lame.

[RD2191]

Utah puling a Spurs and choking. wtf utah, loser franchise
