JOINT GAMEDAY THREAD: Spurs at Grizz

Post #1 » by **-Sammy-** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 1:31 pm

WHEN: Saturday, March 18 2017, 8PM Central
WHERE: FedEx Forum, Memphis, TN
TV: ESPN

We're trying something a little different for this gameday thread: a joint thread with the Grizz board. Our buddy Grizz mod SD2042 is going to direct his gameday traffic to this thread so we can confab with the folks from the Grizz board while we watch and discuss the game together. We think it'll be an interesting way to get a different take on the game by discussing it with fans from a different fanbase, and it'll be a cool way to interact with RealGMers we might not normally run across.

We want this to be a fun thread for everyone who participates, so bring your good-natured team pride and competitive spirit-- we're all adults and it's only a game, so let's conduct ourselves accordingly. To our Memphis friends, welcome and enjoy the game!

Game day is here. Surprisingly speaking, these two teams normally would wrap up their season series around this time of the month. Yet this is only the second meeting between these two teams. That said, this matchup will be anything but pretty. No easy games happens between these two teams. It will be fought and contested to the end. Good luck and may the best team win.

Let's get it, Spurs!

I'm not sure how busy our joint-thread will be, since it's Saturday and the Grizz board, much like ours, tends to be on the quieter side. But to any and all Grizz fans jumping in here tonight, welcome; make yourselves at home!

Nice block for Kawhi; nice footwork for Marc.

Vince is ageless.

Vintage Vince at work along with ZBo with the last three ball in the last few minutes.

16-4 run to close out the quarter.

...and the good guys respond with their own run.

The Spurs with back to back turnovers.

Why Bertans was coming before Lee?

Pop changing something.

Whatever he saw out there he felt that Bertans was the better matchup against ZBo. Didn't work. What's killing the Spurs is the turnovers.

Right now, both teams hanging around in this game.

Kawhi at the buzzer.

He's been doing it all year. It's just frustrating that he has to so much.

Interesting game so far, though; nice and close. Vince is vincing.

True dat. The last thing that needs to happen is for Kawhi to suffer burnout after handling the load.

The refs missed a defensive three-seconds on LMA (no complaints here).

Grizz getting it done from deep.
