Game Blog: Spurs @ Grizzlies - March 27

It helps that Tony Allen played out of his mind.

Tony Allen has played great for months now.

[iminol]

Great game. Strong season finish. Running for dat #2-#3 spot. Good film.

[Ice009]

No Tiago is just mind boggling. Esp when Memphis pounds it down low.

It's obvious Pop told bud "Do whatever you want, but under no cir stance are you to play Splitter in the 4th quarter"

[Creation88]

we're gonna get prison raped tomorrow.

[phxspurfan]

I would have Neal in here

[itzsoweezee]

TP looked like he would salvage his piss poor game, but he didn't. He is out of gas along with pretty much every other important piece.

Shouldn't you be sucking Bonner's right now?

[slick'81]

bring on portland again

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah - I completely agree. Especially when you have a dead ball and don't take Bonner out under a minute.

You KNOW they're going to go at Bonner in that situation and you just put him in a position to fail.

[TIMMYD!]

Why are we not going to Neal on every possession? Why?

[DPG21920]

That doesn't make any sense.

[TD 21]

This coaching staff is a ing joke and they're going to cost this team what's most likely their final good chance at a championship. When Hill was on the line, perfect time to sub in Splitter for Bonner. Instead of going offense/defense, they let Gasol destroy Bonner in the post (who saw that coming?) and effectively end the game. They're babying Ginobili to no end. 19 ing minutes? I don't give a if he's tired. Instead of playing him the final 6 minutes, gutting this one out and getting the last few games off, they're going to have to play right through to the end to secure home court.

Had to ing do this at the end and embarrass themselves, as well as give any potential opponent even more confidence (as if most don't have enough, considering how unimposing this team is). You better hope and pray this team get's the Hornets in the first round, otherwise we're looking at a 7 game series and a potential 2nd round elimination. Way to up months of hard work in a matter of days.

Exactly. That is on coach. They know he can't defend, yet they keep asking him to.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony awful road trip, awful

[TIMMYD!]

everything about these last 3 games. it all.

[Chieflion]

Parker, dumb .

[Juanobili]

ughhh

[ffadicted]

WHAT THE PARKER!!!!!!!!!! FUUUUUUUUUCK

Like seriously what in the

[timtonymanu]

Okay, this.

I want to know how Manu is feeling right now. We're gonna need him tomorrow cause TP is getting his Matt Bonner on.

[spurspokesman]

Tony Allen has played great for months now.

yup

[Ice009]

Pop already said it ... it would not be fair to Tiago to put him in game situations like this. But Pop should try at least once ...

Yeah, but in hindsight if we knew we'd lose all three games then the Spurs should have just gone ahead and played him.

No one has any balls on the coaching staff.

Wow TP with another miss. U stink.

[Chieflion]

Fail inbounds.

These last three games are just symptoms surfacing from problems many of us have pointed out for a while now.

[JonNOKC]

Gasol with a tough shot ... Bonner or any other big could not have defended that one better

You obviously never played BB - when you have a defender that you know has no chance to block your shot you simply back them down and shoot over them - while Bonner may of been in perfect position and did everything right - he simply is not athletic, strong enough, or long enough to bother Gasol or any other average big - he is physically unable to do anything to effect another big's shot

[MannyIsGod]

Well, if he plays this well Memphis is going to be a good team down the road. A very good team. They have great frontcourt depth and if they get good consistent guard play they'll be great.

[++SaiNt TiAg0++]
