Grizz leave no room for overtime; dump Spurs

The Memphis Grizzlies remember well the triple overtime game just a few games back.  Backed by a home crowd, the Grizzlies were fueled early on in the game with guard Mike Conelly scroing 16 points.  He would eventually finish with 30 points.

“That team has had our number for three or four years,” Conley said. “With or without their starters, they seem to always beat us. It’s a huge win for us at home and a huge statement. Hopefully, we can just continue building off of it.”

The Spurs do expect Point Guard Tony Parker to play tonight.  He did not play against the Grizzlies.

There is no rest for the defending champion Spurs as they overnight from Memphis back to San Antonio for a New Year’s Eve matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Rodeo Road Trip looking really good right now

The defending NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs have struggled this season with a rash of injuries to a number of players.  Their 19-13 record is representative of that.   They did get a boost when Guard Patty Mills returned to the floor in a 106-110 victory over the Houston Rockets Sunday evening.  Mills had eight points, all in the final quarter of the game.

“His energy, just his activity it was contagious,” San Antonio forward Tim Duncan said. “It was great for us; brought a huge spark to the team.”

The Spurs annual Rodeo Road Trip may just be what the Spurs need as they have normally done well on the nine game excursion from the confines of the AT&T Center.  the Rodeo Road Trip begins February 8th.

The Spurs will face the Memphis Grizzlies tomorrow in Memphis at the FedEx Forum.  Spurs fans, get your tickets now and help show your support on the road!

Spurs on verge of longest losing streak since 2011

Rajon Rondo was the big story of the night but it was Monte Ellis who ended up with the big night, scoring 38 points including 11 in the critical fourth quarter against the Spurs Saturday night.

“I felt it,” Ellis said of his late surge. “It’s in my blood. Those guys were tired from last night, and their defense let up, so we took advantage.”

Rondo, who was dealt from the Celtics in a multi-player deal Thursday dished out nine assists, collected seven rebounds and ended the night with six points on 3-11 shooting.

The Spurs, who are dealing with injuries, have now lost seven of their last eleven games and are close to a losing streak long left behind.  Point guard Tony Parker is still questionable and has been upgraded to “game time decision” while Kawhi Leonard is still out rehabbing a torn ligament in his right hand.  All this while the Los Angeles Clippers come calling.

“It’s not as bad as it sounds,” Leonard said before Saturday’s triple-overtime loss to Portland. “I should be back soon.”
