Game Blog: Spurs @ Grizzlies - March. 1

[GrandeDavid]

Is Splitter as good as Scola?

[Mal]

Wow, Memphis playing theirs starters

[Fireball]

you just heard it ... the Grizzlies have beaten many good teams this season ... they are playing good, so this loss is not the end of the world. its just hard to watch ...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow, I'm surprised how poor hill has looked running the point. After three years, you would think he would be at the very least a decent back up to parker. I think its pretty apparent that he is nothing more than an undersized two guard.

He ran it fine when TP was out last year.

I think he's just low on confidence atm.

Chris Bosh had a 1-18 game the other day and i would take that over Hills performance tonight. absolutely pathetic on his part.

Bit harsh don't you think ? He hasn't played well, but has 6 pts, 4 assists. FG 2/6, better than 1/18 lol.

Chris Quinn isn't an NBA player, I don't know why so many people here defend him..

No, Quinn isn't going to lose you a game, but he has absolutely no potential upside either..he's a shooter that can't even shoot..he can't penetrate, he can't create for teammates, he can't create for himself..

Essentially, Quinn gives you a player that doesn't make many mistakes, because he doesn't try to make any plays(and when he does, he fails)..the Spurs are missing arguably their best player right now, they can't rely on a "steady" scrub like Quinn..

[Solid D]

Spurs getting beat by Summer League regulars Mike Conley, Darrell Arthur, OJ Mayo, Hamed Haddadi and Sam Young.

[MaNu4Tres]

So why was Quinn getting minutes the wrong thing to do? He's the only other PG on the team.

He's not even a PG. He can't create offense. He's a 6 foot spot up shooter ala Steve Kerr (except he can't really shoot).

Quinn's minutes tonight should have gone to Neal and Anderson. Even if that means Neal playing 30 plus minutes. But of course you don't understand that obviously.

Is Splitter as good as Scola?

Nope, not even close.

[Warlord23]

Dice needs to be chilling on the bench

[Libri]

So this is why the Spurs are interested in Temple.

Pop did not understand that either it seems

If this was a playoff game, I guarantee you Quinn wouldn't play.

Why?

Because Pop would try to find minutes for his best wing players regardless of "position". Especially with Manu and Neal's (to a lesser extent) ability to run point.

The basketball gods said there would be games like this 4 the spurs. The grizzlies played spurs tough sunday-not surprised spurs lost, just the total score. Spurs have been fortunate in terms of losing streaks thus far-maybe it's their turn 2 go thru a little malaise. :-\

[AidanNelson2009]

atleast make this loss not look that bad.

[Juggity]

Making a late run...suddenly we've outscored Memphis in this quarter

EDIT: Never mind

I don't think you understand that Chris Quinn is 1000x more a PG then Neal and Anderson. You want Anderson out there running point?

[MaNu4Tres]

I don't think you understand that Chris Quinn is 1000x more a PG then Neal and Anderson. You want Anderson our there running point?

You really are clueless. Tbh

Manu, Hill, Neal all can run point better than Quinn on both sides of the ball.

Quinn isn't even a "true" point guard. He's strictly an inefficient spot up shooter.

[ace3g]

This would be one of the reasons if the Spurs decided to go with Dominic McGuire, I'd be ok with it, he is a good rebounder

[boutons_deux]

Losing first of b2b then going the road. ugh

Not a good warm up for MIA and LAL

[Spurologist]

I didn't think it was possible for my opinion of Quinn could reach lower depths.....it has

[maddnezz]

ouch Quinn will be runnin stairs tonite!

[Fireball]

Why?

Because Pop would try to find minutes for his best wing players regardless of "position". Especially with Manu and Neal's (to a lesser extent) ability to run point.

If this was a playoff game, many things would have gone different tonight ... Spurs at least would be in the game, i.e. no need for Quinn playing anyway
