Game Blog: Spurs @ Grizzlies - Jan. 16

[timvp]

Bogans stays in.

[DPG21920]

That had very little to do with Ian.

That is absolutely false. He played Zach Randolph very well and kept him to only 2 points; both free throws.

[alchemist]

You also so the their run stopped and the Spurs have a 5 point lead that should have been 7.

it cancels itself out

[murpjf88]

Is Bogans ok? He looks like he hurt himself after the basket.

One could only hope.

[timvp]

Nice lefty, DB.

[Libri]

Blair with a quick move for a layup.

I love DeJuan Blair. Really tough player.

[blkroadrunners]

So is McDyess hurt or what?

Neck spasms, D2D

[duncan228]

So is McDyess hurt or what?

Pinched nerve. McDonald said he'll be listed as day-to-day.

[dbestpro]

Yeah, it got worse when we went away from small ball. Blair and Duncan allowed Memphis to run the fast break.

So you want to sit TD and Blair and run small ball. ........and just what pick do you think we will get in the lottery?

[DPG21920]

Nice move from Gasol.

[timvp]

Pop is going to scream the paint off the walls at half.

[TD 21]

Once again, Pop rushes to put Duncan back in and is well on his way to repeating his mistake of last night: overplaying him in a game the Spurs are likely to lose either way. I realize Ratliff and Mahinmi were playing horribly, but too bad. They need to chew up minutes in a game like this and does it really matter if either is in foul trouble? If it's close late, neither will be on the floor and neither is going to be used for 30+ minutes.

I don't get this coach, he has no problem running Duncan into the ground, yet he pulls Jefferson every five minutes. Leave Jefferson in, this is the type of game that should be tailor made for him to shoulder the load offensively. I realize he's playing terribly; too bad. The Spurs need him in a game like this and by benching him they're only letting him off the hook and taxing others simultaneously.

With 2 fouls

Who cares about his fouls? Why is him getting those fouls bad? The run got stopped and lead increased.

[TPnumber1]

ian in

[Supergirl]

well the refs have clearly been paid off to call the game for the Grizzlies tonight...

[angelbelow]

Nice to see ian in again.

[Refocus]

Thank you Manu for finally shooting.

[DPG21920]

Finally Manu. Get it going.

[ChumpDumper]

Who cares about his fouls? Why is him getting those fouls bad? The run got stopped and lead increased.

When you get a foul every minute and a half, it's bad.

Otherwise, good job by Ian.

[quentin_compson]

Manu, finally. They are passing up too many shots right now.

[Supergirl]

refs bail the Grizzlies out YET AGAIN

[Chieflion]

Duncan going to make Thabeet earn his points at the line.

[timvp]

Manu passing up shots ...........
