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

[playbonner15]

Bertans is the game changer. Now if they put Murray there its gonna be a comfortable lead

[FkLA]

LMA is having a game but he's the only one that battled in the second half of Game 3. And hes been great defensively--not this series but in general. Don't get the over the top hate.

[99 Problems]

Kawhi remained bench for almost the first 6' in the 2nd. Leads all scorers.

[DPG21920]

TP can't play all 48 unfortunately. Mills getting pummeled anytime he faces anyone good. Big problem with no Manu.

[Keepin' it real]

How does Kawhi have 15 points? He hasn't showed up yet.

[bklynspursfan]

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.

Thats fair, but i know hes had some big 3s during his tenure. The dude gets a bad rep on here. Some maybe warranted, but a lot isnt.

[ElNono]

need Danny to hit a few 3s too, tbh.... something on offense, because we're not stopping anybody

Agreed. Plus he's prob tired. He's banging hard on both ends. It's exhausting

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Maybe Aldridge needs Dedmon's toughness to rely on and without it today he's just scared as can be of Marc and ZBo.

[SAGirl]

Living in Oregon, all my friends are Blazers fans. I knew something wasn't right when they didn't care that Aldridge left for SA. They've been teasing me all game long about how this is the Aldridge they've always known.

It always feels with him that it's going to take others to win a game. When the Spurs deferred to him and tried to get their offense through him that's when they TO the ball and Memphis got a run.

kyle will get blamed for that and what the heck he only got a bail out shot attempt, wasn't good with that... but in reality that was the stretch Spurs went through Aldridge.

Still can't believe Manu hasn't contributed.

Oh he has contributed...to the Fizzlies

*gasp* i have to agree with this

[UZER]

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

pop would rather spend that on wine. That's why he coaches like he doesn't give a because he literally doesnt.

Porker -2

MVPatty -1

[sasaint]

The Memphis chucking can't continue

I am not sure. Vince has had harder shots when he was in the gym alone. The whole team has been shooting well since we had a 26 point lead in game 2.

I wouldn't call the guy who let 40 year old Vince Carter jog by him for an easy layup great defensively.

[r0drig0lac]

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%.

We do not have athletes to compete with these teams and the few we have (Bertans, Simmons, Murray) Pop will not use

[rasuo214]

Kawhi, Gasol and HOTS need to carry this team offensively.

There's really no hate from me, but Spurs can't run offense through him. Was a disaster when they tried. They blitzed him wuickly though. He's got to make choices quicker and will have to pass the ball

He's being paid to be great defensively AND be the second option on offense.

He's stealing half of his check.

[NASpurs]

Kawhi +8

goes sit down, in comes Kyle Anderson

Anderson -12

the Grizzlies are up 4. Coincidence?

[noles1983]

5% chance to get past both grizzlies and rockets at this point

[tholdren]

spurs would be swept if Allen was playing.
