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

[FkLA]

I'm more sad than mad after this one for some reason.

Hold me brahs.

[SAGirl]

Who was Pop supposed to play on Zbo? Kyle?

no I think Davis was the right play.
He not only hit that 3, he made several defensive plays. I thought he deserved more trust from coach.

[cd98]

Zbo was pretty quiet tonight. What did he have 12 points? 14?

I think Bertans couldve played a bit more, but hes not stopping Zbo. He just adds the 3 point shot, which was needed tonight

Bertrans opens the court. Kawhi had space to be Kawhi bc of the stretch 4. Not sure why Bertrans isn't playing more. He even played good D on Z Bo.

I bet Grizz 111-108. Close as .

I am with you.
I am sad and upset bc Kawhi was just absolutely spectacular.

Credit to Memphis they made plays too. this was a of a game.

[ducks]

I do not want to see Manu on court ever again

[skulls138]

That is what I have been telling you tbh.
Either he gets it together or he needs to sit.
I think he's at the point he needs to sit. 4 games with 0 % and not even a FT like sasaint predicted? he's done sadly.

I believe others are bound to catch a rhythm if they get the coach's trust that they haven't had so far bc they get the short hook.

He may be hurt. He did something near the end of the season I cant remember but am wondering if thats a part of it.

Posters have been hating on Deadman, but we need him and we need him to play well

You didn't like Ginobili in his prime when he was saving the Spurs so of course you're not going to like him now

[DarrinS]

Davis has played well, but I think Lee played ok. It wasn't zbo that killed us tonight. It was Conley.

As evidenced tonight and the games before, the team as constructed cannot win without Manu playing well. No matter if he scores.
Do you want more Kyle Anderson minutes? Simmons? Kyle was the worst player, and Simmons did exactly nothing.

[NameLess Scrub]

It really pisses me off too. Couldn't carry all that dead weight though.

Couldn't guard all 5 Memphis players at the same time.

This... he had a defensive play in transition, a couple of blocks and he got Zbo unsettled.. even if it's just the element of surprise... both his space, shooting and defense were better in this game than Lee. Just go with the guy having the better game and situation.

[TampaDude]

Back.
Door.
Sweep.

Cavs 2017 Champs!!!!!

[SASdynasty!]

Leonard scored 43 points and Grizz had like 20+ turnovers. Spus still lose?

Pop really has next to zero play calling. I mean, why keep Parker in the game for defensive purposes?

Parker was great on offense and defense tonight.

[DarrinS]

I do. Him and Danny are key to swinging this series, tbh.

[DarrinS]

Parker was great on offense and defense tonight.

Not defense

[gambit1990]

after we beat them in the RS:

this memphis team is different than the other memphis teams we've owned the past few years.

i don't see them beating the spurs. they do look comfortable against us though.

[bklynspursfan]

Bertrans opens the court. Kawhi had space to be Kawhi bc of the stretch 4. Not sure why Bertrans isn't playing more. He even played good D on Z Bo.

He was OK on zbo, but hes still weak getting thru screens and switching.

Tonight, i agree his shooting was needed. I also dont think Lee played bad tonight. He had a key offensive rebound till the timekeeper decided to sound the buzzer. Also defended Zbo pretty well overall.

[Arcadian]

Shot clock error is overrated. Mills was wide open, he didn't care what was on the clock, he was shooting it. The problem is that he missed a wide open 3.

[UZER]

I've been screaming the same thing. And his D on Zbo is pesky as .

[hoopdreams11]

manu just looks to have something bothering him even without him scoring he is not bringing energy

[SASdynasty!]

You crazy. Patty > TP...then again, do it Pop!

Dude is not a point guard or a finisher. He's a shooter. A role player. Parker in year 16 would have bodied the defender and created space or just made sure it hit the backboard first. Can't believe Patty couldn't convert that or go back to Parker on the trail. That was a huge steal by Parker.

[BatManu20]

Tony played his best game in ages, Kawhi went legendary tonight, Memphis had 22 turnovers, and we still lost. ing crazy game.
