Duncan had 13 pts, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 0 turnovers, and 5 blocks. Solid all around night for him and Manu, but Parker and RJ playing like warmed over corpses is killing the Spurs. Parker had 6 turnovers and shot something like 35% from the field.

2-15 from 3 point land isn't going to cut it either. I agree that even if the Spurs get out of this series, no way they advance past OKC.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
See obi....I told you I didn't wanna take your money. Please throw more childish insults at me to prove your worth.
The spurs might be the most overrated team behind the 04 lakers of all time

that '04 lakers team wasn't that overrated. they made the finals, and sure, they got punked by detroit, but not having karl malone killed them.
nonetheless, the 68 win mavs were much more overrated than the 2011 spurs

Overrated? In what sense? Even with the best record in the west, they have gotten very little respect. You can talk some other trash, but "overrated " is bs.

Were there any dunks in that game?
I don't recall any. I'm not sure I've ever seen Z-bo dunk and he had a couple chances I thought tonight to send it down strong but went for the layup instead. Arthur had a clean drive on one play for a sure dunk but completely lost the ball.
Neither the Grizz nor the Spurs were giving up anything cheap tonight. Numerous hard fouls underneath the basket.

Pop is killing us with his rotation and his man love for Bonner...

no way they lose game 4. after that, just have to take care of home court. a win on monday and we're right back in the driver's seat.
Game 2 was a must-win, and the Spurs barely pulled the game out because Manu was on freaking fire. There is no way in hell you can look at a road playoff game against a hungry young team and say "no way they lose game 4." There are a lot of ways they can lose it, seeing as Memphis is 4-1 against the Spurs in their last 5 games. (3-0 at home)
If Parker and Hill can't abuse Conley these next few games, the Spurs don't even have a chance against Memphis. That is where the mismatch is and it has yet to be exploited.
Pop needs to out Bonner in favor of Blair. If Dyess is injured, then Splitter should get the 3rd most minutes at the 4/5.
And why the hell can this team all of a sudden not take and hit open 3's? They are choking in the clutch, bigtime.
GRIZZLIES!!!!
I agree with you, Aggie_2001. I think the Spurs are in deep trouble for the reasons you mentioned.
Dyess says he is ok and hopes to play Monday.
Pop has lost his mind; Randolph obviously had difficulty when defended by a 7-footer (Duncan) and goes hog wild when 6-8 Bonner or McDyess are on him (because Duncan has to guard Gasol). Seven-foot Splitter sits on the bench because Pop is afraid to try anything different, even when Splitter could not possibly do any worse than Bonner. Bonner is not even providing much offensively, there's absolutely no excuse for this.
Pop is a stubborn idiot.

I agree. Pop is really dropping the ball this series.
In other news Tony Allen says Manu is faking his injury. What a piece of work.

It seemed to me that Tony Allen intentionally fell on Manu to try to re-aggravate the injury (he could easily have caught himself, but chose not to).
I'm beginning to hate the Grizzlies. Allen's a dirty trash-talking idiot and I hate seeing the Spurs lose to Zach 'Porky Pig' Randolph.

I love Allen but I'm a Grizzlies fan and he is that type of player that I'd probably hate him if he were on the opposing team. He is a funny dude to watch during a game though and he's a great "team morale" kind of locker room guy.
I don't think it was intentional, just part of the game. I was pissed that Allen kept going for Ginobili's ball fakes and Manu should expect hard contact occasionally on those types of plays given the over the top ball fakes he uses to get defenders in the air so he can jump into them and draw contact.

Splitter is incredibly overrated by Spurs fans on this board. unbelievably.
Pop knows. Splitter ain't doin crap. Surely Pop isn't playing him for a REASON. he can't be the greatest coach since sliced bread AND be making a huge mistake on not playing Splitter, right?

He's 5 more fouls and has the length to bother Randolph. Blair and Bonner are helpless and Timmy can't cover Gasol and Randolph.
I don't think anyone wants Splitter playing 35 a game, but 10-15 minutes would be nice.

Maybe Parker was disturbed at seeing Eva supporting the Grizzlies?
is that real?
Link below has pics from game, including the Eva pic, which fits in pretty well with the NBA big head ads this year.

That is awesome.
Does anyone else feel like the Grizzlies fans are really desperate for a rival? Do they realize that even if the Grizz win the series they are just another opponent to the Spurs? It takes years to develop a good rivalry, don't force it.
it's a good place to start by kicking their ass without their best player
Oh look, it's the board third wheel.
If Gay had played all season Memphis wouldn't be an 8 seed and San Antonio would be playing the NOH team your Lakers are having so much trouble with.

butthurt noted.
its ok to admit defeat even before you are defeated. i get it. spurs fans are trending towards mavs fans more and more
should also be noted that I picked the Spurs to win tonight. if they lose, it's pretty much game over.
it's an interesting series. on the one hand i could see the spurs winning 3 straight. on the other, i could seem them losing the next two and many tears flowing from the AT&T Center.

You should hedge more.
Parker looking aggressive out of the gate.
What a horrible call.
off to a strong start. hopefully Spurs keep it up.
Like the aggressive play early. Keep it up.
is it possible to play defense without fouling them on every play?
