Game #26 Preview: Grizzlies @ Spurs

PrintSo, after the Spurs made me lose sleep with photo finsihes in their last two games, I decided yesterday would be a good day to climb Camelback Mountain for the first time. Oops. My eyes are half closed as I'm writing this due to exhaustion, and I split my knee open on a rock during the climb back down.
What does that have to do with basketball? Absolutely nothing. But seeing Manu will the team to victory in two consecutive games served as a bit of inspiration for getting. it. done. Let's hope the good times keep rolling tonight.
Hack preview, after the jump.
Today's preview music is in a slightly different vein than my last few selections, but I think more people will like this one. Enjoy a classic track by a classic group:
Let's do it.

Starters
PG: Conley is finally having a good enough year to somewhat live up to the potential he showed in college. That said, Tony is flat-out dominating this year. Edge to Frenchy, but not by much.
SG: I'm a little disappointed by Mayo's move to the bench, but Henry's spot in the starting lineup is really questionable. Dude was drafter as a shooter, and is shooting 11.8% from the arc. Yowsers. Meanwhile, Manu is going to Manu all over the Grizz tonight.
SF: I love RJ 2.0, but he's got one hell of a handful to deal with tonight. His D on Melo the other night was exceptional, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here. Some corner threes would be lovely tonight, RJ.
PF: DeJuan seems to have recovered nicely from the slump he was in to start the year, and we're going to need every bit of his energy against a consistent 20-10 threat in Randolph.
C: Gasol is a fine young center, but he's contending with Timmeh tonight.
Bench
Other than Mayo, the Grizz bench is pretty bad. On top of that, Mayo's had trouble adjusting to his new role, and hasn't really been himself. Meanwhile, the BAM keeps rolling, as evidenced by the fact that they led the comeback against Denver the other night.
Coaching
Lionel Hollin's bring-Mayo-off-the-bench strategy has a lot of folks scratching their heads, and it hasn't yielded good results so far either. Meanwhile, Pop's got the Spurs off to their best 25 game start EVER.(by a two game margin, even)
Intangibles
As I write this, the Grizz are down 43-17 to Houston. Ouch. Meanwhile, we have a 7-game win streak.
Mojo
Pretty sure the Manu count is at: Spurs 1, Grizzlies 0
Prediction
Spurs get an important division win, and this time they don't try to give the game away.
Key(s) to the Game
Quality Ball Movement - "Quality" because the Grizz are very, very good at forcing turnovers. If our guys make good decisions with the ball, their defense is bad enough to take advantage of.

looks like the spurs might get it a little easier, word is rudy gay is likely suspended for tonight due to a flagrant 2 foul from last night.
Yeah, if the league intends to be consistent (no guarantees on that one), he should be suspended, since it was pretty similar to what Andre Miller did to Blake Griffin that earned him a suspension a few days ago.

Memphis has been 8-6 since Mayo started coming off the bench so I don’t think we can conclude that it hasn’t yielded good results record-wise. Tim is right in saying that Mayo hasn’t been able to completely adjust to his new role. Initially, I thought that it is a reasonable move considering that bench scoring is one of the main problems of the grizzlies last season. If Mayo embraces the new role completely, Memphis may become a better team. I also think that they are under-utilizing Sam Young, who I think has a potential to be a solid role player off-the-bench.
It is a SEGABABA for the Griz . Let’s see if they are energy-drained from last night’s crap-fest or if they will come out hungry for a win. Also, it’s a THIGAFONI for the Spurs. We didn’t do well the last time we had a THIGAFONI so let’s hope everybody brings their A-game and that the energy level remains high even after two tough close games.

Hey there everyone,
Been pretty busy lately so that’s explain my absence here for a while. However what is important is that Spurs are still winning and have the best record in the league.
Anyway, just thought I should say a few words after that intense finish against the Nuggets.
That look on Carmelo’s face? What can I say, it was PRICELESS!!!
You know that was a stuff made in Argentina and was specially modified for the Spurs. It’s a proven method having contributing 3 Championship titles (I want to say 4 but we’ll wait for that come June next year, okay). 8)

I’d like to point something out real quick:
Miami Heat vs teams ABOVE .500: 5-6.
vs teams BELOW .500: 15-2
Sounds like they’re beating teams they are supposed to, but losing the games that matter. Sound like anyone we know? Hint: 2009-2010 Spurs
SHOCK STAT:
Lakers vs teams ABOVE .500: 1-3
vs teams BELOW .500: 19-4
UMMMM. You mean to tell me the Lakers have played 4 teams above .500 and lost all of them but one? Ohh, I can’t wait for December 28th.
Spurs vs teams ABOVE .500: 8-2
vs teams BELOW .500: 14-1
We’re beating teams we’re supposed to beat, and we’re beating teams we SHOULD be beating. Free wine for everyone!

well our records against teams above and below .500 is bound to happen when we only have 3 losses on the season
Lakers schedule becomes a lot more legit starting with Christmas Day. Stern & friends may have helped them with a great start by front loading all the home games and easier teams but they will pay later. How nice that Kobe & Gasol had to play their longer minutes to beat the weaker competition.
Thank you SF Giants for an incredible 2010 season and painting the City orange & black!

I vow to never mention "playoffs" and "49ers" together again until we have a "quarterback."
True. But Timmy and Manu have played heavy minutes recently, and also at the beginning of the season, even against teams that have losing records right now.
There was that nice stretch of blowouts in which Timmy ‘got’ to rest in the 4th quarter ─ I wrote ‘got’ sarcastically because I think he’d prefer not to sit ─ but given the Spurs’ propensity to play to their opponent’s level, I’m not expecting a lot of blowout wins by San Antonio this year. Or is it just a manifestation of “Any team could win in the NBA on any given night?”

Our guys have avoided 40 minutes in regulation games. Their minutes are not as heavy as the Lakers’.
As for the any given night, if a team is going to have a record such as the Spurs’, there are going to be many competitive and close wins. For most teams those games are losses, thus the good but not great record. I also don’t see any West team having a bunch of blowouts all season considering the depth in the West.

Good points. Of course, I’d be happier in the Spurs’ position than the Lakers’… I would like to see the Mavs a little further back in the standings (their propensity to collapse in the playoffs notwithstanding), but at 23-3, there really isn’t a whole lot to complain about. :)

I don’t think that even Pop’s cellar is big enough for that, if that’s what you’re thinking. :)
A number of people have pointed out that the Lakers’ schedule has been one of the easiest so far. (And I thought the Spurs had had an easy schedule, silly me.) I didn’t bother to check, but the Lakers have only played four out of twenty-seven games against winning teams, really? And lost four games against teams that are currently losing? They’re fortunate to have Bynum back now that they’re schedule is going to get tougher.

I’ve always wondered why they hung on to the Grizzlies nickname when they moved to Memphis. It’s not as though they had lots of pleasant memories associated with that brand. Something more regional ─ “Memphis Blues” maybe? ─ makes more sense to me. btjmho.

Nice preview TIm. I like the new set up. I just hope I can figure it out, it looks way more complicated.
I’m sending an email right now that explains it. I haven’t changed the actual temple, because I wanted to get some feedback on the new stat section.
Free Tiago Splitter!
Yes, change the Temple! Make him a deadly 3 point shooter with Manu-like ball-handling skills! Give him Parker’s drive to the hoop and tear drop! Have him channel…. uhhhhh, never mind. Got a little too excited there, misread what you must have meant. ;D

Some predictions:
Accuscore (ESPN Prediction): Spurs win 78% of simulations, Grizz 22%
Vegas Line – Spurs by 10 points
The Basketball Distribution prediction – Spurs by 13 points
DSMOK1’s advanced SPM predictions – Spurs win 92.8% of simulations, Grizz just 7.2%
The last two are automated models. DSMok’s SPM predictions incorporate the effect of rest days on teams. If the Grizz were not on a back to back tonight the model increases their chances to 13.4%.

lol @ Orlando taking Hedo back for more money than they were willing to give him.
Free Tiago Splitter!
BTW, the Suns would become a more balanced team, so I hope this doesn’t go through.
Free Tiago Splitter!
Yeah that was my first thought, Gortat, Pietrus and Carter is definitely worth Hedo, Richardson and some sweetener.
Think of it this way, Phoenix now will be better at beating other West teams, starting hopefully with LAL and Dallas. We play them next so their new guys won’t be acclimated (and Richardson always played well against SA).
Spurs play the Suns twice in April so we’ll know quite well how they then match up full strength, including our having Anderson in the lineup. Who this really hurts is Portland, Memphis and Houston who will have a harder time getting that #8 seed.

That’s certainly a positive take on the trade from the Spurs perspective.
I’m going to be pessimistic. Of the outgoing Suns (now Magic), only J.Rich really hurt the Spurs. Of the incoming players, all of them could hurt San Antonio. And if the Suns trainers could resuscitate Grant Hill’s aging body, they may very well be able to do something similar for Vince Carter.

Just weird all around. I’m not sure the Wizards are really better off overpaying Rashard Lewis than they were with Arenas.
Arenas might have more trade value, so if Lewis doesn’t do well in Washington either they’ll be stuck with the contract.
Does the Magic own the league’s highest payroll after this one?

Please, never ever compare the Spurs to the MLPs when discussing playoffs.
On a basketball note, the Warriors dirty little secret going into that series was that they had not only defeated the Mavs a few times that season, but had success against Dallas for a few years, including winning in Dallas. It was a perfect match up, even better with Nellie going against his former team, an owner he hated, and his coaching protege. No one outside the Bay Area knew this since everyone was focused on seeding number. Oh, and few people were willing to admit what had become obvious: the Mavs have mental shrinkage in the cold moments of the playoffs.

I’m tired of fighting Steve Nash teams on the way through the west. I’m sure Nash is tired of playing the Spurs. And speaking of, if anybody’s got a reservoir of Vengence for that series, it’s Nash. We’re the ones who stomped on his chances of playing for a ring, again and again and again. Don’t think he’s satisfied with last year’s sweep.

So far….the Spurs are REFUSING to take a night off…and I have to say that I really respect them for that. They are playing every game like it was their last!! My only gripe so far…the defense. They can turn it on when they want to, but evidently, they don’t always want to. If that doesn’t change, Pop is going to bust a big blood vessel in his neck. Other than that…I’m about as happy as Arenas at a gun show…:-)
Tim – tell people you split your knee open diving for a loose ball. All effort, all the time. And thanks for the musical flash back.
Alright folks, it’s a division game that our guys must win. These are the tie breaker games should we and Dallas have the same record at the end of the season. I still can’t quite recall how the Spurs lost twice to the Grizz last season so I looked it up. The evidence says the first loss was a FOGAFINI, while the home loss was a THIGAFINI just like tonight.
The bench needs to carry the team to victory in this game. Hill, Neal, Bonner and hopefully Splitter. Get it done fellas. GSG!

Yes, the 3 pt. FG % by opposing teams looks bad. But another way to look at it is that opposing teams don’t have very many 3 pt. attempts against the Spurs. Interpretation: The 3-pt defense is good, in the sense that the Spurs discourage other teams from trying to shoot from behind the arc.
Another thing to consider… in terms of made triples, the Spurs enjoy about a 9 point advantage per game from behind the arc (i.e. 3 more made triples on average than the teams playing them).
