GT: Spurs vs. Memphis

[imagump1313]

We look so deep right now it's scary. Timmy hasn't played well all year(which is what I've been trying to tell people for years, that this team isnt all about TD anymore) and Danny Green has been real quiet. There is tons of room for improvement and we are 10-1

And this ones over. Splitter was definitely the MVP of this one, he scored a very efficient 17 points with a variety of moves and along with that he played some unreal defense.

Manu was huge off the bench making some big shots and making some great passes.

Also shout out to Ayres for proving that he's not entirely useless. He did a good job on defense and made a couple tough shots in the lane.

MVP for me was Parker on that 4th quarter. He was completely outplayed by Conley up to the end of third quarter. Then he just took things into his own hands. One of my worries coming into this game was also because Conley and Allen are two elite defenders. So far this season, our perimeter game is the one saving us and if Parker got shut off, it was Game Over. He looked like he was shutdown for 3 quarters though.

Lucky for us Marc Gasol got injured too. Memphis just a much different team without Gasol. Basically, it becomes a Conley P&R, and if nothing comes out of that, it turns into a post up for Zach with about 10 seconds left on the clock to make his move. That's about it. Marc's passing opens up the floor for off the ball movements and cuts.

Kawhi and Splitter played well.

What the hell is wrong with Duncan. This can't be fatigue when he's shooting flat jumpers a few minutes into the game. The problem is in his shooting. The FTs are just as flat and it's even worse when it's extended a few feet away. His post game has become limited but that's not really new. Atleast he was making FT line jumpers during the game last year. Where's Chip Engelland? Is he scared of Tim?

For Memphis, I kinda like Koufus. He looks really solid.

It really looks like he's hurt. Could still be the lingering effects of that chest contusion from earlier this year.

I'm not too concerned yet. If he's still playing like this around the all-star break then we have a problem.
