GT: Spurs vs. Grizzlies

Post #1 » by **Nolan** » Mon Feb 6, 2017 2:24 pm

When: 7:30 PM MT, Feb 6th 2017
Where: FedEx Forum, Memphis TN

First game of the rodeo road trip and it would be nice to start it off with a win!

This is going to be a tough one though. We have to win the battle on the boards and contain Conley to win this one.

Go Spurs!!

Looks like Gasol the Younger will run tonight; it would've been nice to have Gasol the Elder for this one, but it's all good. Here's hoping we see a lot of Dedmon. The Grizz are one of the most dangerous under-the-radar teams in the league, so I see a battle tonight.

Crazy to say this will be the first of four matches between these two teams midway into the season. Normally we would have met by now.

They're a matchup nightmare for us as well.

Hey, SD2042-- thanks for cruising by! Kind of off-topic, but Nolan and I have been discussing the idea of possibly doing some joint-gameday threads with forums from some of the other teams. How would you feel about doing one with us the next time our teams play?

I was so close to going to this game! I'll definitely be there March 18th though.

Right on! I'll give you a holler a few days before our next tilt and we'll set it up.

Works for me!

Danny Green hits an open three, I think that's the second one this year

Randolph should not be out muscling Aldridge. On the other hand, we are making a point to get him more involved offensively tonight with Leonard out. He still looks really uncomfortable.

40-40 at halftime. Like an old time early 2000's battle

Pop just sitting Kawhi just to do it. I mean, come on man.

Can't believe the player we got in Aldridge. Really can't. I know he has had some great games but my God he isn't even all star quality any longer.

every time the gsw lose a game, pop throws the next game...its like he doesnt want no.1 seed

Aldridge just isn't that good. Don't understand someone being so big, being so soft

Lamarcus Aldridge is not a franchise player. I'm sorry. This man is trash when KL is out and starts forcing. At least he showed some aggression tonight. Although he was like 4/19 from the field

Patty Mills just had one of them nights. Every time Parker has an ok game, Patty doesn't. When Parker has a bad game, Patty has an ok game.

Danny Green did his thing on both ends and I thought Bertans should have taken more shots but oh well

Lee was great. Dedmon did his thing, solid game from him and did not get into foul trouble. Manu was great tonight as well.

Kyle Anderson only cares to shoot when Kawhi is out, apparently.

Good points:

Parker and Patty NEVER seem to have good games together. Its either one or the other or neither.
Whenever Danny Green makes a shot I am honestly surprised. It shouldn't be this way.
Lee needs to play more but I understand why he doesn't. I'm still terrified he is going to get injured.
Dedmon played some decent defense. Much better than Aldridge.
I'm really down on Anderson and I get depressed when he checks into the game.

Not sure if you guys noticed in the Nuggets game but Green had an open layup and passed in mid air to Parker in the corner, Pop grabbed his head ready to faint lol.

Poor Danny just doesn't know what to do when not shooting open threes.

inDe_eD · Post #20 » by **inDe_eD** » Tue Feb 7, 2017 2:21 pm

I didn't mind Danny's game. He really brings it on D every night, and when he hits a few threes, it's just a nice bonus.

Definitely starting to be done with Aldridge though. He looks like he's gaining weight as the season goes on and his attitude is just so meh.
