Spurs Vs Grizzles Thread

[max-dawg]

This shit is an indictment on Del Negro and the Clippers frontcourt.

Fucking Matt Bonner is playing Zbo better/smarter than both Blake and Jordan.

trust me, the spurs would have run the clippers as well.

every time tony parker and cp3 meet-up, tony runs circles around cp3... and every yr, cp3 gets all the awards.

as for griffin & jordan. all they can do is run and dunk alley-oops. they both have:

no footwork on defense... constantly out of position.
no footwork on offense... blake has a 1-legged, fall away jumper.
neither one can use the glass or hit a consistent jumper like ewing or malone. BOTH combined have LESS scoring SKILL than tim duncan... don't even know how to square-up, post properly, etc. they are running on PURE athleticism right now.

proof: the non-athletic zach randolph made bitches out of BOTH of them bc he has EXCELLENT footwork and can position properly on the block.

blake & jordan = athletic with no actual SKILLS.

i can't be mad at del negro. it ain't is fault them two are wusses.

del negro is a decent coach. but cp3 the nomad = coach killer.

it takes a while to build team chemistry (see the spurs) and that can't happen with the clippers if you've NEVER had or currently have a TRUE leader on your team.

Whats so funny lb

What he said

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Whats so funny lb

at the time leonard threw an overhead bounce pass from the top of the key and the grizzlies just let it happen

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

fighting for their lives now

and parker just KEEPS hitting them shots

 

[max-dawg]

coach hollins... call a timeout and read this:

spread the floor... really spread it.

get away from the same offense you've been running.
run a pick & pop or a backdoor off the high pick and roll... but SPREAD THE COT DAMN FLOOR!!!!

let allen, poindexter, or conley take their man off the dribble and let gasol and zbo just crash the boards after the initial penetration. send prince out to defend the backcourt.

the offense you're running is running thru the lane and clogging up the post for zbo and gasol as several spurs just reach, grab, and claw at the ball.

fuck man. do something different.

Agreed.

What happened to Stephen jackson

He kept it too 100.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Manu running point. Spurs in trouble now.

 

[max-dawg]

What happened to Stephen jackson

coach pop runs a tight ship.

and if he can get in tim duncan's face and criticize him, everyone else, esp. knuckleheads need to fall in-line.

stephen jackson did a 'stephen jackson' and pop ran his ass out of town (again). but this time, AFTER the all-star break which essentially ended his run this year; he couldn't join another team.

that was one helluva statement by the spurs.

jackson apparently wanted more court time... argued with coach pop over it.

 

[Amajorfucup]

2positions. 1 great assist. 1 stupid turnover. Manu.

 

[D-TOWN REP]

He kept it too 100.

Missed out on a trip to the finals fucking around

 

[4 Dimensional]

lol this dude Manu. The ball stays in Parker's hands. Period!

 

[4 Dimensional]

What happened to Stephen jackson

Yooo. Word. I haven't even noticed that kat was gone.

 

[Skinnie Talls]

Z-Bo killing his team man.

 

[max-dawg]

it's game #4 and randolph and conley ARE STILL confused on the tony parker & tim duncan pick & roll.



randolph running around looking for parker.

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

Yooo. Word. I haven't even noticed that kat was gone.

I think he got cut right before the playoffs. They did him ICE COLD

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

gasol has to become an offensive threat in order for the grizzlies to do anything going forward in the franchise

 

[HeathCliff]

I always wanted to know who's that weird dressed guy that's at all the NBA playoff games.

[largebillsonlyplease]

Yup pretty much what you said I haven't even noticed. Dude would have been useful in these play-offs but obviously they don't need him. Pop has zero tolerance.

Stephen Jackson’s release by the San Antonio Spurs last week came as a shock to many. Nobody saw it coming, and many people were led to believe that Jackson was happy being part of the San Antonio organization. That clearly was not the case — at least not recently.

The day he was released, Jackson hinted at a possible conflict with coach Gregg Popovich.

“I would never say a player is better than me when I know their not. Not for no one,” Jackson wrote on Instagram.

He then tagged his note with a hashtag saying you and I know what’s really going on.

Jackson made it pretty obvious that he was dissatisfied with being behind players on the depth chart whom he thinks he’s better than. He elaborated on that thought in an interview with Sister 2 Sister Magazine.

“We had a disagreement,” Jackson said in reference to Coach Popovich. “He wanted me to agree to players being better than me, and I didn’t agree. I’ve been in the NBA a long time, so it’s just something I didn’t agree with and something I have no control over. He’s the coach. He controls who plays, and he controls the team, which I do respect. At the same time, I know what I can do and what I been doing my whole career, and I’m far from ready to hang it up. So, I can’t let one person tell me where I’m at 35-years-old. To me, it just didn’t make no sense.”

Jackson also says he expressed his unhappiness with his role on the team prior to the trade deadline and all-star break, and that he wishes they would have released him sooner so he could have joined another team.

I’m not 100 percent sure about whom Jackson is referring, but I’m guessing it’s Kawhi Leonard. Leonard was the team’s first-round pick in 2011 and has seen a big minutes boost this season. He’s also played well for San Antonio, and you cannot really disagree with the results; the Spurs secured the second seed in the Western Conference.

Who can really be surprised about Jackson having an issue with the team? He’s had problems everywhere he’s played, so it was only a matter of time before he had an issue with the Spurs. I’m honestly shocked he went this long without really having a big disagreement with the team.

Add two more turnovers...

 

[max-dawg]

Z-Bo killing his team man.

zbo and the entire grizz team will have NIGHTMARES about tony parker & the old-fashioned pick & roll.

this isn't "melo" bball... this is OLD MAN basketball where you need to be disciplined and fast and able to communicate the rotation on the roll man.

coach pop has created a situation where the fastest PG in the league, tony parker, is coming off a pick to face zack randolph.



note: apparently, tony parker had his thumb out of position on his shooting hand. that fix has created what you see now in his jumper.

game.over.

 

[KING OF VA]

I'm glad they got this shyt over with...these kats are garbage and here by default...good effort though

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

[D-TOWN REP]

Grizzlies luck just ran out

Nobody on the Spurs was injured for them to capitalize on

 

[Skinnie Talls]

At least the best "team" represents the West, would have hated to have swept the Grizzlies in the Finals

[largebillsonlyplease]

lmao@ don't stop believing playing in the stadium

i think its time to stop.

tony parker missed 6 shots tonight

where the fuck was mike at?

gasol has to grow a pair of nuts. being unselfish in theory is fine.

but being that way every time trying to get cute is stupid.

i think the spurs swept them cause they were on espn and not tnt.

 

[Lexx Diamond]

Damn good game. Tony Parker, can take beating and still win.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

1st finals sweep in 10 years.

 

[4 Dimensional]

Parker has been eating all play-offs. Like for real. EATING!

His mid-range game is lights out.
