do you think the spurs will get out of the 1st round?

[davidbowie]

:(

[HarlemHeat37]

Yes, Spurs will win in 6, I stick with my original prediction..

[jeebus]

Is Matt Bonner still on our team?

[biziofromdowntown]

i told Spurs in 6, so...

[mexicanjunior]

Once Manu was out, I said Memphis in 6 in another thread...coming true. Spurs will win games 2 and 5 (hopefully), Memphis wins the rest.

[Holden_Caulfield]

backdoor sweep

[LakerHater]

Fuck yes!

Spurs have drop the 1st game in the opening round the past coupla years.... no big deal!:flag::flag::flag:

[InTheCrust]

gentleman's sweep. by memphis.

grizz in five :lol

[024]

yeah probably. the spurs need to wake up though. even though i don't believe the spurs will make a deep run in the playoffs (eliminated by the lakers at best), they are still good enough to take down the grizzlies.

[TampaDude]

backdoor sweep

^ this

Spurs in 5.

Book it.

:toast

[Typical London Boy]

Yes, but it may go to 7. If we lose game 2 then completely forget it. After that, a win in game 3 or 4 is a must.

[Horse]

Ofcourse Manu would've made this a blowout win. He's probly our fucking MVP and it took us fucking ourselves for memphis to win. Tony shooting that 18 fter with a 2-pt lead under a minute to go fucked us. Their calling every foul all game long he has to go to the basket. He will play better Manu will return we will win!

[GrandeDavid]

I hope so!

[Spursmania]

Not if Manu doesn't play. The Grizz are confident now.

[DMC]

The Grizz were already confident, which is why they tanked to play us.

Our best player was on the bench and they still needed miracles to win. We will be fine if Manu returns. If not, it's pointless anyhow.

[timtonymanu]

They'll advance to the 2nd round, but that's as far as I believe they will go.

[dbreiden83080]

Yes. They'll be fine..

[Texas_Ranger]

Only Manu can save us. If he'll be playing bad, then yes we will do the Dallas Mavericks.

[BanditHiro]

they will get out of the first round, but we better hope the thunder and denver series goes to 7 games

[tlongII]

The Grizz will take this series in 6 games. If the Spurs aren't careful they will lose game 2 as well.

[tim210g]

this was a game we needed to win without manu now we cant afford to go thru with game 2 without him.. i thought once it was 98 94 we were going to close out and win for sure but then there goes memphis on a fkn 7-0 run ..what killed us was giving battier that wide open three... i say if we got this win spurs in 5 now i say spurs n six if were lucky could go seven then anything could happen that would be scary game seven in the first round against a memphis team that matches up well with us

[BanditHiro]

The Grizz will take this series in 6 games. If the Spurs aren't careful they will lose game 2 as well.

no, just stop please

[Kuestmaster]

we will send the gremlins fishing. this shit won't take 7 games

[davidbowie]

phew

[Manu_Ginobili]

:(

It depends what Popovich does - if he continues the same way to play without Splitter, and Manu is STILL hurt, we are going 7 games, and in Game 7 nobody knows what would happen, we might lose it? If Manu does NOT play, but Popovich starts playing Tiago, then we might win in 6...If Manu DOES PLAY, and Popovich plays Tiago in every game for at least 20 min., the Spurs will win 4-1, period!!!

WHY Splitter did NOT play in Game 1??? Pop was [again] playing a FOOL!!!

WHY Novak did not play at least 5 minutes - while Bonner, Neal, and Hill were struggling from 3s, Novak could've hit couple of 3s - Pop, here is YOUR ball game right there, you f. MORRON [excuse my French!]; again, STUPID Popovich played damn [excuse my French!]!!! AGAIN and AGAIN he is f*****g us UP[excuse my French!]!!! We are getting killed inside - Gasol and Randolph killed us under the basket - With this ROSTER, if Pop DOES NOT play Splitter, he has ZERO chance beating L.A. and OKC, PERIOD!!! I am sick and tired of this a*****e [excuse my French!] being SO CONSERVATIVE - if Manu does NOT play, and Memphis BIGS are f*****g us in the a**[excuse my French!], WHY NOT TRYING WITH SPLITTER to help Dyes and Timmy??? "F. MORRON" to call Pop in THIS GAME, NOTHING more TO BE SAID...Pop completely outplayed by Memphis' coaches in this one...Very sad!!!

[DPG21920]

Yes. /thread.

[spurtech09]

The Grizz will take this series in 6 games. If the Spurs aren't careful they will lose game 2 as well.
Think you should be worried about your portland trail blazers....spurs in 5 games

[wunderkindepiphany]

shoulda been a poll

[ElNono]

yes

[Spurtacus]

We win in 7 games. I worry about the next series though. Not sure how the Spurs are going to hold up after banging with Memphis' bigs for 7 games.

[TVI]

If Manu plays, the Spurs win the next 4 in a row.

[JustSpurs]

Step away from the shower curtain rod. We'll be just fine.

[Doe]

Yes, I'm more worried about how their bodies will fare after the series though or how much juice they'll have left for the energetic team waiting them in the second round.

[SourCandy]

Spurs fans are always ready to jump off the cliff so soon :lol

[Bambililos]

backdoor sweep

Exactly

[Muser]

Spurs fans are always ready to jump off the cliff so soon :lol

Exactly, it's so sad to witness.

[koriwhat]

boo hoo cry babies... fuck all bandwagon fans!

[fyatuk]

Fuck yes!

Spurs have drop the 1st game in the opening round the past coupla years.... no big deal!:flag::flag::flag:

This.

Spurs usually play pretty bad the first game of the playoffs. Like they are testing the water or something.

Game 2: Blowout win for Spurs
Game 3: Close win for Spurs
Game 4: Close win for Spurs or Blowout win for Grizzlies
Game 5: Comfortable win for Spurs
Game 6 (if game 4 was lost): Comfortable win for Spurs.

That should be about how it goes.

[sa_butta]

Spurs will roll in game 2 and confidence will be restored, they will make it out of the first round.

[boutons_deux]

Historic start.

First ever playoff win for Grizz

Spurs run their playoff lose streak to 5.

[Cry Havoc]

Ridiculous thread. Can't believe Spurs fans are already jumping ship.

Oh wait, it's SpursTalk, and people are idiots.

[honestfool84]

Spurs' fans are pussies.

EDIT: some Spurs' fans are pussies.

[spursfan09]

Yes.

Think of it this way:

Memphis was due for a playoff win eventually.

Law of averages :)

[Bukefal]

Yes they will :flag:

[koriwhat]

Ridiculous thread. Can't believe Spurs fans are already jumping ship.

Oh wait, it's SpursTalk, and people are idiots.

Because they arent spurs fans... Theyre little drama whores who occassionally watch bball after the 82 game reg season. Bunch of lame motherfuckers.

[cheguevara]

no manu spurs get swept

60% manu and grizz win in 6

90% manu and spurs win in 7

[Fireball]

we need Manu back on the court as soon as possible ... obviously a win in game 2 is a must ... hopefully the Grizzlies do not have another perfect game (tbh game 1 was only close because of the FTs which we will not get in Memphis)

[davidbowie]

i trust the spurs

[davidbowie]

crap :depressed

[Ari Gold]

Yes. /thread.


Yes. They'll be fine..
