Game Thread: Spurs @ Grizzlies -- Game 3 - Fri (4/22) - 8:30PM CST (4:30AM Riga Time)

[SAGirl]

Grizz might go small against the Spurs, Per ESPN.

Makes sense after they lost Jarell Martin + they have to try something different. I am excited about this bc it gives us a chance to see other lineups by Pop and for guys to practice those lineups (weird to talk about practice in a game we want to win on the road, but perspective)

Also,

Not that it changes much, but it appears that the Grizz have now lost Jarell Martin for the rest of the playoffs:

And JaMychal Green has flu-like symptoms, but is probable:

"The Grizzlies said forward JaMychal Green is probable for Friday night's Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs, despite dealing with flu-like symptoms."

They already had Conley and Brandon Wright active in Games 1 and 2, meaning they're so banged up, they have to have injured players on the active roster to get to 13. By my count, they have 10 healthy bodies left with Martin out, and if Green is limited, they're playing a playoff game with, basically, a 9-man roster. They may not have a choice other than to go small; they don't have enough big bodies to do anything else.

Have said it elsewhere, but by appearing in Game 3, Tim Duncan will tie Robert Horry for 2nd all-time in playoff game appearances, at 244:

1.    Derek Fisher    259
2.    Robert Horry    244
3.    Tim Duncan    243

With a win, Duncan will move 1 game back of Horry for 1st all-time in playoff wins by an individual, and Parker will move 1 game back of Shaq for 6th all-time in that category:

1    Derek Fisher    161        
2    Robert Horry    155    
3    Tim Duncan    153    
4    Scottie Pippen    136    
5    Kobe Bryant    135    
6    Shaq. O'Neal    129    
7    Tony Parker    127    
8    Manu Ginobili    122

Just want Manu to tie Pippen in wins this year and I'll be happy.

[timtonymanu]

Barnes looks like a mix of our backup PGs (Mills, CoJo, and McCallum )

Then I hope that JaMychal doesn't play...I don't want our guys coming down with the flu in a week from now, just as we have to start the second round.
