[NBAFan]

[Texas_Ranger]

No Manu - Grizz in 7
Manu - Spurs in 5

[tlongII]

Grizz in 6.

[MannyIsGod]

Spurs in 5 with or without Manu.

[slick'81]

spurs in 5 with manu 7 without

[mexicanjunior]

With pre-injury Manu...Spurs in 6

With post injury Manu...Grizz in 6

[timtonymanu]

Spurs should keep in mind this team tanked to get them. Spurs should treat them like shit.

[ElNono]

without Manu... Sweep
with Manu... Spurs in 2

[LakerHater]

grizz in 6.


with post injury manu...grizz in 6

wtf!?

[NewcastleKEG]

Spurs in 7 games

[Doe]

I hope they sweep these mother fuckers. I think the Grizz will get game 3 as their first and only playoff win.

[Sean Cagney]

Spurs in 6, then Manu gets back for round two!

[Death In June]

Spurs in 5 with or without Manu..

[Ginobili2Duncan]

What the Grizzlies did was a joke. Looking at the effort they put forward they basically said to the Spurs on national TV, "Hey, we want you guys. We know we can beat you."

I hope Duncan and Pop take that personally and try to sweep them by an average of 15+ points.

[pawe]

Hill with 22ppg in 6 games for this series..if Manu is out.

[Death In June]

When are the playoff schedules released?

[TDMVPDPOY]

RJ isn't steppin up for shit. Lets just hope he can continue to hit his 3 ball above 40%... At least with that he won't be totally useless.

[4>0rings]

In non-Manu news, one person who noticed Memphis sitting players past two nights: Tim Duncan. "Obviously, they've chosen their matchup."

Spurs game 1 vs. Memphis Sunday at noon.

[toki9]

Spurs in 5. I don't think the Spurs have been 100% serious about winning regular season games since the RRT. I'm eager to see them focus again.

And I think Blazers in 6 over Dallas, followed by Cuban blowing up the team.

[JustinJDW]

Spurs in 5.

[duncan228]

Game 1 — Sunday at San Antonio, Noon

Game 2 — Wednesday at San Antonio, 7:30 p.m.

Game 3 — Saturday, April 23 at Memphis 6:30 p.m.

Game 4 — Monday, April 25 at Memphis, TBD

Game 5 (if necessary) –April 27 at San Antonio, TBD

Game 6 (if necessary) –April 29 at Memphis, TBD

Game 7 (if necessary) — May 1 at San Antonio, TBD

[Nathan89]

You guys are really under estimating the abilities of Neal. Neal is going to play huge for the Spurs and Hill is going to do good on the home games. I'm not to concerned about the first round.

I just hope the injury isn't severe.

[DJ Mbenga]

ill save my spot here until the mri

[KaiRMD1]

Spurs in four, Grizz haven't changed since the gasol, posey, miller, battier days.

[024]

honestly, this has upset written all over it if ginobili isn't fully healthy for the series.

[Obstructed_View]

I'd have said Spurs in four, but the first game is a noon start, so Spurs in five.

[ArtVandelay]

wtf manu is hurt???!!!
sick of this movie
same bullshit every year

just sit out the first 60 games and get ready for the playoffs next ye.. well nvm this is the spurs last chance to win a title

[crc21209]

Holy shit a noon start for Game 1, that completely fucking sucks. At least Manu gets an extra day of rest then....

[rmt]

The schedule is favorable. It gives Manu time to recover - a week until the second game/ or a week and a half until game 3.

[crc21209]

Another thing about Game 1 being at Noon on Sunday that completely sucks, will be the crowd... Every seat better be taken damn it!

C'mon, Tim. I know you've got it in ya...

[outmap]

Spurs in 4

[TD 21]

The Spurs shouldn't shake these pukes hands before tip off and on the Grizzlies first offensive possession, they should let one of them come down the lane and have either Duncan or McDyess absolutely clobber them in mid air.

[Sean Cagney]

Spurs in 6, tough series no doubt at all! This will be a fight but Spurs in 6.

[Thompson]

wait a second? you mean the memphis grizzlies made poor basketball decisions on purpose that will help the lakers win an nba championship?

that doesn't sound like the jizzlies i know

The Gasol trade included a Grizzlies non-compete clause.

is it bad that all i could think about while watching that video is "another manu brick"?

[DesignatedT]

Fucking hate Noon games. Especially in the playoffs.

[Borosai]

They dun goofed.

[usdane]

Grizzlies in 6 games. Z-Bo and Gasol with dominate Spurs front court.

[Baseline]

I was at the Clips/Grizz game tonight in LA, and not only did the Grizz not play their top guys, but with Memphis mounting a 4th quarter comeback, Lionel Hollins took Marc Gasol out with 3 minutes left in the game, and the Grizz down by only 5. This is after they were down by 24 or so in the 3rd.

Classic tank job, although they made the final score look respectable.

Tim is right - they've obviously chosen their opponent.

[TE]

Spurs in 5.

[spurs10]

The Memphis Girlzzies are big girlzzs who only rollover when told to, or in the company of big boys.....Go Girlzzzzzzsss!!

[Man In Black]

It almost didn't work had the Kings just made Kobe miss that last 3 pointer.

Oh well, I think it's funny that that franchise continues to fellatio LAL.

Looks like Memphis has poured gas on the fire. I expect TD to come into this series with his head shaved and his game face on....we all know what that means.

Spurs in 5.

[TD21-FTW]

We will win both games in SA, one in Memphis and then we will finish them in game 5.

[Fireball]

Slay these fucking bears at home and then skin them in their cage so they will forever regret tanking to play the Spurs. Regardless of what the severity of Manus injury is - he will play but limited in his aggressiveness. Spurs in 5

[ploto]

Another thing about Game 1 being at Noon on Sunday that completely sucks, will be the crowd... Every seat better be taken damn it!

One of the bad things about a Memphis match-up is that the seats will not be full. Tickets will probably not sell out, and people who have play-off tickets with the intention of selling them to make money will not be able to sell them, especially on a Sunday at noon at the end of Fiesta and the start of Holy Week.

[TampaDude]

Spurs in 5 with or without Manu.

^ this

The Grizzlies suck. We might even sweep them.

[Spurs Brazil]

With a healthy Manu and less than 5 minutes of Blair/Bonner combo - Spurs in 5

[Thomas82]

:hungry:

Yeah 228....they pissed off the wrong one!! Can't wait to see him (and the rest of the team) take it to them. On top of that, Charles Barkley said that Tim and Manu were done. It seems like this tank job gives those 2 along with the team a chance to send the message to Barkley that he spoke too soon.

[kjhip1]

If you think about it, we really haven't seen the best of Timmy this year..Add the fact that the Grizzlies tanked and TD took notice..They should of just slapped him in the face w/ some baby powder..I think we will easily see 20 and 10 from Timmy in the payoffs. Thank God the playoffs are finally here..Time to nut up or shut up

I rather play them, than NO (as they might have had the best player on the court)...it will be an easy 1st round. no doubt 4:0 or 4:1 Spurs...just hope, they don't injure anybody.

[DesignatedT]

Duncan is going to average 4 blocks a game against these bums

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Sweep.

[Reck]

I love how the Grizz tanked because they wanted the Spurs so badly.

Over confident punks.

Cant wait for the Spurs to anhilate these fucks.

The Spurs might not go all the way but they sure as hell will beat the Grizzlies.

[DPG21920]

My take on the Grizz:

Memphis is a really good rebounding team, which has been a problem for the Spurs. Same for teams with a balanced front line and two legit bigs, and Memphis possesses that. Memphis does a really good job at forcing turnovers namely because they have a wealth of above average to great wing defenders.

They also play very smart and disciplined basketball. They run their offense in a boring, repetitive fashion, but because of that, they execute.

OJ Mayo is an x-factor, but he has struggled all year. But maybe a playoff game will get his blood flowing. He has talent. They are also very physical. Every team that plays them knows they have been in a fight.

It will be interesting to see how they react to their first playoff together.

[024]

grizzlies are also the lakers' farm team so expect a very physical series.

[Yorae]

My word: Tony will dominate the playoffs especially this series simply because they don't have anyone to guard him. sure they got battier and tony allen as great defenders but I doubt they'll use them on tony.

[mexicanjunior]

With pre-injury Manu...Spurs in 6

With post injury Manu...Grizz in 6

Told you so...Pop playing starters in a meaningless game = first round exit and joining Dallas as the only #1 seed to lose a 7 game series in the first round.

With pre-injury Manu...Spurs in 6

With post injury Manu...Grizz in 6

Spot muthafucking on...

With pre-injury Manu...Spurs in 6

Fuck me for not flying to Vegas to put money on this...I could have been a rich man, this pick was so obvious...

With pre-injury Manu...Spurs in 6

With post injury Manu...Grizz in 6

I wish I had been wrong or at least put money on my prediction...this was an easy call to make though.
