Game 4 Thread: SA @ Memphis brought to you by Manu's 201 career playoff game

[Keepin' it real]

We played like , they played out of their minds, and we're down 4 on the road against the refs. Not bad.

Get that reasonable-sounding mess out of here.

He hit many of those over his career

I probably could count the number of times on one hand when Bonner hit a 3 with the Spurs down 1 to 10 pts or hit a 3 to keep momentum with the lead. I always considered him a 20/20 shooter. If the Spurs were down 20 or up 20 he would hit a high percentage of his 3s.

Manu is getting good looks, they arent dropping. I doubt he forgot how to shoot after he shot it well in the reg season.

Our guys have gone thru shooting slumps all season, this is his. Shooters gotta shoot to get back on track. Patty/Danny etc... it happens.

[tholdren]

The problem is Spurs players (with the exception of Leonard) can only score when they are open. They are told never to take a difficult shot. So, guess what, Memphis just sticks to their man. Nobody ever gets free.

not true. spurs ball movement is . hero ball

[Perry Mason]

Honestly I think the Spurs started waking up and putting some fight in it. This game ain't over.

And the Grizz are a totally different challenge in the playoffs than the Rockets. Rockets aren't capable of getting this physical.

Grizz took the 2015 Warriors to 6 or 7 right? They are a PITA for most teams in the playoffs.

[TampaDude]

No Timmay, no ring.

[NameLess Scrub]

They're afraid of getting booed.

They're basically helping Mem score every possession allowing those moving screens or calling fouls.

[Keepin' it real]

How were the Spurs a top 5 defense and now can't stop one of the worst offenses in the league?

Two words: regular season

Yup. We should win this

[UZER]

2 points, 2 rebounds from the 80 million dollar man

Richard Jefferson all over again.

Passion is coming into play.

The city of Memphis (like OKC in the past) is willing their team to new heights.

Fear the dumps.

[ElNono]

So, are we gonna pretend our #2 option, LMA, should get a pass for a game like this, tbh???

This dude played hard last game, he can play a lot better...

[DarrinS]

I was saying the same in game 3. Spurs better bring it in 3rd, or Pop may raise the white flag again.

Still can't believe Manu hasn't contributed.

Not a terrible take. But we did come out playing uncharacteristically good at the start of the game. Their ball movement has been a lot closer to the beautiful game than ours, tbh.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

as if everyone did not already know

I thought there was a 5% chance Spurs win it all going into the playoffs, I was hoping this series would improve the chances but it dropped them to .0000000001%.

[UZER]

Spurs will win this series, but man pop is up to his old stubborn tricks again and that ain't good moving forward.

[Nathan89]

Pop gonna lose to another rookie coach

Pathetic.

[Budkin]

Grizz with the BDS...book it.

Hate to agree but we all know it's about to go down again. It's either that or a normal sweep by the Rockets.

Pissed me off when he let that scrub steal the ball from his hands.

If I were to be told MVPARKER would have as many points as Connelly who is the Grizz top scorer, I would think the Spurs are up by ten, rest of the team especially LMA need to step up

He played hard once the Grizz had the game in hand, tbh.

[99 Problems]

I think Doris Burke will be our new coach.

[Darius Bieber]

It's not fluke shots. Just a ty ing Spurs team getting exposed.

[Horse]

The Memphis chucking can't continue

[sasaint]

I am not as confident as you about the series. Pop needs to spend $30K and buy the refs back.
