Church of Manu shut the site down so Parker couldn't get props on his performance!
I declare this the smallest spurs game thread ever.
So site was down..thought I didn't pay my bill lol.
Parker’s 37 powers Spurs to 8th straight win
Miss the fun, thought something wrong with my computer. Congrats to TP...vow 37 points. Go Spurs Go
lol I wanted to get on here and say something when Ime had his first stint on the court.
Man is Ime really, really bad. Surely a D-League level player like Danny Green would be better than Udoka? Ime is just horrible out there.
Quinn on the other hand provided some decent minutes, not great but decent.
I wonder if RJ means the players are pissed at their own performance or the coaching staff or both?
TP was HUGE tonight. Great performance.
Also, I gotta ask should Manu have taken that 3 at the end or regulation or was the defense too tight to get up a shot? Tim should have definitely taken the layup, that was not good passing to RJ who wasn't ready for it, but having said that RJ needs to be ready at all times.
Bonner got totally smashed on the boards. Pop needs to think about if it's worth playing him when the other team's front court is that strong on the glass.
wth, game blog only 3 pages?
edit: nvm, site was down
spurs are not happy giving up 29 points in the 4
that is very unusally for them
site was down o

-_-!
Tried to throw this one with stupid mistakes, but Tony wouldn't let it happen.
And we roll on.
Good to hear that the Spurs are not satisfied with the way they played tonight...
Some post-game quotes.

By Paul J. Weber
A third consecutive San Antonio Spurs game was coming down to the final seconds, and Manu Ginobili had the ball in his hands again. This time, he wasn’t the hero.
It was Tony Parker’s turn.
Parker scored 37 points, including 16 in the fourth quarter and overtime, and the Spurs pulled off another dramatic win for their eighth straight victory, 112-106 over the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night.
“As long as we’re winning,” Parker of another nailbiter, “I’m OK with it.”
There was no Ginobili clincher this time. Coming off beating Milwaukee on a 17-footer at the buzzer, followed by hitting a twisting game-winner Thursday at Denver, Ginobili muddled through an off night and passed up the final shot in regulation on a pick-and-roll with Tim Duncan.
Duncan charged toward the basket but flipped the ball to Richard Jefferson after being met by Zach Randolph. It was an open look for Jefferson, but his 14-footer didn’t even reach the rim.
That left it up to Parker in overtime. He made both his shots in the extra period, including an 8-footer with 1:01 left that pushed the lead to six and sapped the Grizzlies.
Parker wouldn’t have minded a crack at the final shot in the fourth, too.
“Definitely. I was ready,” Parker said. “I was ready, but I thought (Ginobili) made a great pass to Timmy. I thought Timmy was open, but he passed it to Richard and everybody was being unselfish. Richard had a good look, but it didn’t go in.”
Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins called a timeout after Parker’s final shot in overtime, exasperated.
“What can you tell them?” Hollins said of Parker. “The guy’s running down the court 900 miles an hour and spinning and all that stuff. What am I supposed to tell them? Stop him from spinning? If we had executed better offensively, maybe he wouldn’t have had some of the transition baskets.”
Zach Randolph had 24 points and 21 rebounds for Memphis. The Grizzlies played without leading scorer Rudy Gay, who was serving a one-game suspension following his ejection Friday night in a loss at Houston.
O.J. Mayo led Memphis with 27 points and hit a game-tying 3-pointer with 21 seconds left that forced the Spurs into overtime.
“We should’ve won the game as we played so well,” Mayo said. “Now it was all for no reason.”
Parker was 15 for 21 from the field and had nine assists. He put up a season high while scoring nine of San Antonio’s final 10 points in regulation, including just his fifth 3-pointer of the season.
Duncan had 13 points and 10 rebounds.
The Grizzlies left Texas with back-to-back losses after they arrived winners of four straight.
Mayo, returning to the starting lineup with Gay out, scored 13 points in the fourth quarter and overtime. Marc Gasol added 11 points and 11 rebounds.
Randolph collected his third 20-20 game of the season, joining Minnesota’s Kevin Love as the only two players with multiple 20-20 games.
The Spurs pushed their NBA-best record to 23-3, and are off to the best start in the NBA through 26 games since Boston went 24-2 to begin the 2008-09 season.
The Grizzlies hung with the Spurs despite missing Gay, who was ejected in Houston after sprinting down court midway through the fourth quarter to shove Luis Scola in the back, knocking him to the ground. The two had been tangled up on the other end of the court moments earlier.
Hollins was disappointed with Gay losing his cool and leaving Memphis short-handed, but Memphis had enough to nearly pull off the upset. The Spurs made eight of their first 11 shots and led by as much as 11 before the Grizzlies clawed back in the fourth quarter.
Tony Allen scored 15 points for Memphis in his first start of the season.
Notes: Spurs G George Hill did not play because of a sprained right big toe. He hurt it earlier this week in a victory over Portland. … Duncan surpassed 21,000 points for his career. …The Grizzlies fell to 4-10 with Mayo in the starting lineup. They had been 8-6 since making him a reserve and giving Memphis a spark off the bench.
I also want to point out that we won without our sixth man playing.
If anything, the Spurs seemed to try everything to give it away.“We should’ve won the game as we played so well,” Mayo said. “Now it was all for no reason.”
Another night, another milestone. Tim must feel so old.Duncan surpassed 21,000 points for his career.
Damn I'm happy we won. I wished could of watched the game. O well, I'll just watch a rebroadcast online.
I'm surprised nobody called me out on George Hill not playing and we still won when Rudy Gay was also out lol.
Exciting but frustrating game to watch, until it was time to celebrate. Props to Parker.
Wow TP. Great Job
Perhaps it was good that the site was down. The " ting on the Spurs" should have been pretty hard during the game ... I just don't like that
True, yesterday I realized I can't see the game without the game blog. I even miss Ducks saying Manu sucksBoy, that was lonely. Used to watching games with you guys.
