Game Thread: Spurs @ Grizzlies -- Game 3 - Fri (4/22) - 8:30PM CST (4:30AM Riga Time)

I'm trying to enjoy this run/season, but man I'm worried

We probably don't have the firepower to beat GS. Beating OKC in the 2nd round is our championship. Just enjoy the ride, and hopefully another deep playoffs run.

Great game Kawhi, Spurs lose by 20 without you

[spurs10]

32 points, 5 blocks, 4 steals for Kawhi. Nice!

yeah!

I see things that bode well for sure. Spurs are shooting better, 3's are falling, they are taking care of the ball and playing good defense. Many things that look good and about the best you can hope for from a focus/effort perspective. Something (offensively seems off) just looks weird.

Hope when we see SA vs a great team, we see them rise. Definitely possible and this defense is championship level.

You forgot 0 turnovers

And 0 fouls

[apalisoc_9]

Glad Memphis battled and played compe ive. The spurs needed that. I was worried the thunder would catch the spurs asleep with all the blowout.

[DPG21920]

Kawhi with an underrated great game. It will be undervalued because of the weak opponent, but still a crazy box score from him.

Yes on the defense- it's pretty spectacular. The other things you mentioned like the shooting improving and holding on to the ball have been encouraging.

Anyone watching NBA tonight? I just missed the graphic. Did it say Leonard joins only Duncan and Robinson to have at least 30 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 blocks? Leonard with his first while both Timmy and Robinson have 4 each.

Ok, but try to enjoy the ride just in case we don't get that far.

(Little late. My bad)

Spurs win 96-87 to take a 3-0 series lead.

Always appreciate the stats S & B.

[BillMc]

yeah!

Most offensively gifted DPOY since Hakeem? Or at least KG.

If we lose to OKC I wont be enjoying . Im not gonna look back on sweeping a D League team and beating up a league in the regular season with fondness. We have to at least go 6 or 7 games with Golden State for this season to be considered a success.

They wont. GSW will most likely win in 5. Sadly. Making the WCF imo should be considered a succesfull season

3 down. 13 to go
