Game Thread: Spurs vs Grizzlies -- Game 1 - Sun. (4/17) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga)

Defense still deep run levels of good. Offense is much of the same, but starting to find legs in that last 2 minutes. Just have to find a bit better flow, cut faster/harder and get into things more smoothly. Then hit open looks when presented.

I am not focusing on results right now. I'm looking at effectiveness and things that are repeatable to carry over for when it matters.

How much do you think DeAndre got paid to crossdress for a insurance commercial tbh?

Rumor is he showed up that way.

[Gametight]

I have a feeling Stephenson gonna shoot the Grizz out the game if his shot quits dropping,

[TheDoctor]

Spurs has been so successful for so long that these commentators have nothing new to say.

[DarrinS]

Matt Barnes going nuclear.with 2pts

[Keepin' it real]

up 11 at the half, pretty good

[james evans]

they need to put Leonard on Stevenson. If Green keeps getting abused they need to sit his ass down.

[DMC]

Stupid ass "Hoopers" commercials.

"You aint got no rings"

"Sure dont"


Who else thinks the neighbor ed DeAndre and produced Kevin Love?

Kinda nice to get a practice round. Hopefully the Spurs take advantage.

[SpurPadre]

Seeing how little resistance the Thunder had last night, it is of the utmost importance that Spurs sweep this team in games where we get in an offensive rhythm.

[Chomag]

Good strong close out of the half

[BillMc]

Matt Barnes going nuclear.with 2pts

[Ron Swanson]

Rumor is he showed up that way.

That's how Doc smuggled him out of the house when Cuban was trying to find him.

[tmtcsc]

Good finish for Parker to end the half. Increased the lead and made stuff happen.

[TheDoctor]

Matt Barnes going nuclear.with 2pts

He went reverse nuclear and imploded.

[ducks]

Put green onlance Leonard on vince

[DPG21920]

Aldridge leading scorer. Best plus minus, and has the toughest defensive assignment. Just for those bringing up playoff Aldridge to reference.

Great half by Duncan Parker and Kawhi as well. Good to see.

This is a great match up for LMA. Even in the regular season as I linked before, he destroyed MEM. Had his highest FG% against MEM this year and averaged over 20 points. He's doing his thing (missed a few easy ones) but he was absolutely dominating in the first half.

Not worried about LMA here.

[.G.]

Rough start but all things considered they settled down towards the end of the half. Shooting woes continue.

[will_spurs]

Starters shooting .516, bench shooting .231, look no further.

[BillMc]

That's how Doc smuggled him out of the house when Cuban was trying to find him.

[PopTheGOAT]

Shots still not falling so far.

Id like to see Kawhi/Aldridge mid range get going.

TP bring the floater back

Patty/Danny hit a couple threes each.

defense looks decent

[Silver&Black]

Spurs lead by 11....48-37.

[DPG21920]

they need to put Leonard on Stevenson. If Green keeps getting abused they need to sit his ass down.

I think they are saving Kawhi where they can. There are no other scorers other than VC & with Kawhi carrying the offensive load more than DG, if you can hide Kawhi and let him gamble, the defense and offense should be better.
