avoid grizzlies at all costs next season

[DarrinS]

They are probably the easiest opponent for the Spurs in the West, tbh. People like to think they are a threat because of their "physicality".

They have MVBarnes now, so the league should be terrified

[tholdren]

Noobs who have no understanding didn't realize that Blake was doubling with him on Kawhi, They thought he was some kind of shut down defender in the Clips series last year.

LMFAO - worst take of all time.

[Sean Cagney]

We have OWNED Memphis's asses since Tony Allen shot his mouth off about Manu not really being hurt after they won in 2011. I see NO REASON that should not continue. There's no place to hide ZBo on defense any more. He'll have to take on either Duncan or LMA backin' dat azz down in the post, and shooting right over the top of him. Once they double (they'll have to) it's over.

I was going to say this too, the Spurs actually match up really well with Memphis ever since that series and have only lost a few games at most to them. They need to watch out for the Spurs too I would say, bad match up.

Who is scared of Gasol in a Playoff series?


Dude leads the pack of 'stars' who don't step their games up in the Playoffs, along with Aldridge.

Not the League just leonard

Every other word you type is "butt, got, kwack"....I'm assuming Kawhi turned down your offer to butt him & you are butt hurt b/c of it. Just let it go & get a life fam.

Lol. Supercat owned again.

"Several teams are competing for the services of Matt Barnes after the clinic he conducted against Kawhi Leonard."


Read no headline EVER

"I want Kawhi Leonard taking clutch shots" in same paper

31 year old 7.0 rebounds per game gasol? Lol

Avoid the Western Conference at all costs.

[Kikoluna]

Stop with the avoid this or that team. We will face anyone.

[YGWHI]

Generally you pass out of them. Are you saying we didn't have shooters with kawhi?

What stupid hater. Are you saying we had effective shooters in last playoffs? Are you saying our shooters were effective when Kawhi was double-teamed and he passed to the open man?

Danny
43.6 FG% in regular season 34.4 FG% in Clippers series
41.8 3P regular season, 30 3P% in Clippers series

Parker
48.6 FG% in regular season 36.3 FG% in Clippers series
42 3P regular season, 0 3P% in Clippers series

Manu
42.6 FG% in regular season 34.9 FG% in Clippers series
34.5 3P regular season, 36.4 3P% in Clippers series

Diaw
46 FG% in regular season 47.8FG% in Clippers series
32 3P regular season, 22 3P% in Clippers series

Only Kawhi (34.9 3p% RS to 42.3 PO), Belinelli (37.4 to 46.7) and Patty (34.1 to 57.1) significantly increased their 3P shooting percentage, sadly Kawhi played more minutes with Parker/Danny backcourt, than Mills/Belinelli.
Handling double team is a team effort, Kawhi found the open man several times but the shooters didn't have a great series.

-- Courtney Lee and Matt Barnes have shot the basketball well throughout four practices since Tuesday. Don't be surprised by their shot-making in drills and a possible scrimmage.

Barnes and Brandan Wright, the two newcomers, are fitting in just fine.

"Playing them so much while I was a Clipper I really picked up on what this team is about and how they play," Barnes said. "It's been a smooth transition for me. I'm picking up the three spot and they want me to play the four so it takes a little bit of studying but it's been a smooth transition."


Grizzlies Trade for Matt Barnes, May Have the Toughest Team in the NBA



Matt Barnes, Tony Allen and Zach Randolph? Yes, the Memphis Grizzlies might have the toughest team in the NBA. Next year? They’ll have Barnes on the floor in exchange for Allen offensively – though both will play together, too – and not lose too much defensively. Memphis, health pending, should be a threat to win the West (again) next year.

hater loves him some Matt Barnes (slurp, slurp)

I actually hate the guy

but I respect his team game and devotion to D. Not to mention his penchant to psychologically take young stars out of their game. (as proven last playoffs)

he will fit in the Grizz like a glove

Hater with the absolute goods ..I'm relatively new here but the jinxing powers are too off-the charts to not be recognized..Start raving about the Warriors/OKC mah .

[HarlemHeat37]

Based on hater's history of predictions, the Spurs should tank to get Memphis in the 1st round, at all costs, tbh..

Memphis has never been a serious threat, tbh..they're a product of nostalgia from older fans and media that yearn for the days of hideous, "physical" 90s basketball with goons and "legitimate Cs", rather than 3-point shooting and small-ball..

Damn, man..that hater curse shows no mercy, tbh..poor Grizz, they never had a chance..

[Robz4000]

Tbh tho, with the Spurs' new offense of ISO-midrange shots, lack of ball movement, and terrible 3-point shooting, the Grizz match up decently again. Thankfully for them hater exists and cursed the Grizz.
