Game Blog: Spurs @ Grizzlies - Jan. 16

[JohnnySixString]

Meh... I've gotten used to this.

[ChumpDumper]

Meh good effort to make it a game .... but the energy should have arrived sooner.

It's Pop's fault.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

, another great example of how when you make a run you NEED TO TAKE THE LEAD.

Memphis has made all their FT's when it mattered. Spurs lost the game when Tim missed that chip shot. Just like against the Mavs and just like the other game. He killed the momentum and the team could not crack that barrier.

See above.

I really want to punch Tim in the face.

That's a bit over the top. He has won us 10 games this year, he's allowed to lose one.

[Behrooz24]

I hoping for a quick 2, but I guess Mason was too hot to not use him.

Down 1, Tim turns it over = game

and this

[Ice009]

You don't sound very appreciative of the four NBA les he brought to the city of San Antonio.

Come on MAN.

NO ONE HERE IS GOING TO EVER BAG TIM FOR MORE THAN A PLAY OR TWO.

Every fan here knows Tim Duncan has done it all for us. It's just a little venting for two bad plays.

Tim cost us the game tonight. Do you want everyone to say he great play when it clearly wasn;t?

Well, this team is not that good that can afford to give away leads and try to make it all up in the last 30 seconds. What did ever happened to the give away the game if we were losing by 5 in the last 8 mins like last year?

Spurs are terrible shooting under pressure.

[Capt Bringdown]

You can easily imagine the opposing coach preparing for a game against the Spurs nowadays:

"Men, I don't need to tell you that this isn't the same Spurs team from a few years ago. They can't match our youth, energy and enthusiasm."

Spurs are terrible shooting under pressure.

Which is the complete opposite of last year

[HankChinaski]

Man, frustrating game to watch. Wish Timmy would have hit that bunny or protected the ball on the rebound. But Griz really were all over the floor all night.

I'm completely lost with how they can get something out of RJ. Only thing I can think of is moving him away from the corner always. have him at the top or 3/4 and allow him to just run his own thing to penetrate.

TP isn't TP right now and we have that other gaping hole to deal with right now. Maybe next game leave Parker out and see if they can get something out of RJ

[Libri]

Jefferson, 0-6

[Pauleta14]

I didn't see the whole game, was Tony injured?
or wasn't he in the final linup because he sucked?

[Behrooz24]

TD ~33 min

[alchemist]

Pop went with the hot hand, I don't blame him at all for going with Mason for that shot. Timmy unfortunately blew it in the end. Can't get on Timmy too much either with how much he has carried this team all year.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Hornets have won 4 in a row. Could easily be a 3 game slide come monday, but hopefully this team can right the ship.

[ElNono]

Did we get ourebounded?
Anyways, we were missing McDyess, Bonner and Finley so this loss was completely expected. Good thing it's only January!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I didn't see the whole game, was Tony injured?
or wasn't he in the final linup because he sucked?

Combination of both.

[Ice009]

RJ is the problem here.

I don't think anyone on the team has any confidence in him. People kinda get happy when he makes a good play, but I don't think Manu, Tony or Tim deep down really have any confidence in him. Their body language looks like well we got RJ, but I still have to do all the work because he stinks.

You shouldn't threaten punching Tim Duncan in the face, though. That's not very classy.

Vent in other ways. Tim Duncan would scorn at you.

Tony made some bad plays with TO and Pop pulled him cause he wasn't doing much except helping the Grizz score and stopping our offense.

[timtonymanu]

I'm really tired of RJ. I'll say it before and i'll say it again... dude is getting paid 14 million and he plays like a 6th option.

[Duncan21kid]

so much for turning the corner after the LAL & OKC games...

Look sometimes I want to punch TP in the face for a split second. I don't think I'd ever say that to Tim, but I get where the guy is coming from. If I was at the game I would definitely say that Tim was soft on those two plays.

TIM HAS TO GO UP STRONGER. He's done it quite a lot when you think about it going up soft with the game on the line. There is no excuse for that. Tim should know better.
