Already cursed with loss for posting too soon
yeah thanks A LOT dc23
This thread is about as exciting as this:
Game threads are the only things performing worse than the actual team the last two years.
My prediction: DDR goes 5-19, gets an ill advised T after giving up a 3pt play and misses a crucial free throw down the stretch of a Spurs loss.
GSG!!!
Ja Morant was being clowned on Twitter the other day for being unable to shoot 3s. Let's see if the Spurs can exploit that.
Or he goes 6-6 from 3 which would seem like par for the course when it comes to this team.
only a "against Bucks" like shooting performance gives us a chance ... otherwise they rape us like they did the two games in San Antonio
I don't see Bud sitting at the Memphis bench unless they borrow him for a game. Not even tin pants can save us from the action you described.
I fully expect some backcourt ball pressure and zone from Memphis. Let's hope our guys can handle that.
Another big problem will be rebounding. The Grizz are much taller at the 3 and 4 spot. It will be interesting to see if Pop goes small ball and if the rotation squeezes down to 8.
One thing that we have going for us is that they kicked our asses the last 2 games. We can improve a lot and it's hard to beat an NBA team 3 teams in a row when they are this evenly matched.
GSG!
Not expecting this to go well, but at least we get a post-season game 🤷

Can't wait for Kyle to drop a triple double on us.
And for Patty-Rudy duo to combine for 7-25 shooting.
If we don't have a 20pts lead when Patty and Rudy check in in the third, we're losing this one, guaranteed.
FTFY, tbh. I'm hoping for a good fight and little more than that. Having lost the last 2 games against the Suns means we could jump up some interesting spots in the lotto if the other teams advance to the next stages.
...but an upset win would be really entertaining, too. Little stakes in this for the Spurs, tbh, let's go
Lyles questionable?
Don't even think about it, Pop
Morant will go for 50 derozan will disappear spurs lose by 23 points...
Lyles is the secret weapon. He about to go HAM.
This is our time to shine. It’s why we played the young guys early over the vets so that they will have fresh legs for the playoffs. I’m calling it now but Rudy Gay and Patty Mills are gonna have break out performances as we get the win
IMO Spurs need to hit 10+ 3s in both play-in games to advance to playoffs.
I agree Ace. Overall my only doubt in what the Spurs can do is in their 3 pt shooting. They have been slumping as a team and aren’t generally trigger happy. I feel like maybe Mills getting rested is due to break out from the slump but this matchup is bad for him. Memphis is young though and anything can happen.
