Spurs have won 3 of last 6 at home. And one of the losses was in OT against the Mavs. 

Some will say they are tanking, but they are pretty much guaranteed to be in the bottom 3 with Detroit and Charlotte. So all 3 will have 14% odds at Wembenyama.

Spurs have some no names on their injury report. I had to look up who KBD was.

Gee. Out of the blue the Spurs are in the lottery with the chance to get a franchise changing once in a generation talent like Tim Duncan or David Robinson. Who could have seen that happening?

Quietest 16 game losing streak I can remember got them in position.

Grizzlies energy should be up, knowing that Ja will be back Monday.

I have bolded they guys I have ever even HEARD of: 

San Antonio: Dominik Barlow, Charles Bassey, Khem Birch, Julian Champagnie, Gorgui Dieng, Keldon Johnson, Tre Jones, Romeo Langford, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Doug McDermott, Jeremy Suchan, Devin Vassell, Blake Wesley

Scrubs!  

OK, I saw Suchan last time these teams played, but I hadn't heard of him before that. 
And Tre only because of Tyus. 

And yet I bet they'll give us a fight. 

 

[Joey Crawford 0]

Tyus for three !

It’s weird to watch the Grizzlies dressed in black and the Spurs in teal.

Very.  Sochan hair doesn't help either

[ThaGhostOfThaBeet 0]

Sochan’s hair is gonna fall out in a few years with all those dyes

[Joey Crawford 0]

Amazingly no fouls called in first four minutes.

[GrizzTigerFan 0]

Tillman looking good so far.   While Bane getting stifled at the rim.   I'll be happy when Ja comes back to take away some of the attention from him. 

[GrizzTigerFan 0]

Nice friendly jabbing between Dillon and Keldon.  they were laughing which was a good sign. 

[oldmanGrizz 0]

We're in a heap of trouble if they shoot 3s like this all night.

[fanboyslim 0]

I want to believe that the Spurs won’t keep shooting over 70% from 3.

[fanboyslim 0]

Two TOs in consecutive plays. Jenkins must be mightily miffed.

[GrizzTigerFan 0]

Kennard first in .. good adjustment from TJ here.  

[oldmanGrizz 0]

Time for these clowns to cool off a bit.

[ThaGhostOfThaBeet 0]

Collins hacks Jaren, no call. Santi no touches Tre Jones, foul. 

[GrizzTigerFan 0]

Jaren on a tear again so far. 

[GrizzTigerFan 0]

Cmon Luke... gonna need you to shoot over Dillon. 

[fanboyslim 0]

Jaren means war

7 Spurs have scored, 4 Griz.
