Sebastian Pruiti from espn/ nbaplaybook.com thinks so

He thinks the Spurs went to Tim Duncan too much the first half. :wakeup and that it wasn't so much that the Grizz took away the Spurs usual offense game. It took away the corner 3 and there was no pick n roll going on. Memphis being one of the worst pick n roll defensive teams in the league and also at defending at spot up shots.

With Ginobili back the pick n roll game will be back and the spot up shots will negate the randolph/gasol interior D.

He thinks Spurs will win the next 4 games as well.

Grizz stayed home on the 3pt line, if the Spurs don't dump it into TD they'd get blown out.

No. Tim played well within the offense and got his baskets off good ball movement as well as post-ups.

We needed MUCH more Parker, and about the same Tim in the second half. We got neither.

Ginobili will single-handedly make the offense that much better. What needs to be addressed is the lack of size and interior defense on Gasol and Z-Bo. The offense will be just fine and will probably be good enough to win the series even if Pop doesn't address the lack of size... probably not against OKC or LA though.

The big problem is we didn't go to TD more in the 2nd half. Only 3FGA. Neal and Blair had more FGA in the 2nd half than Duncan

Yes

None of the starters got the bench involved until the 2nd half. I saw Parker and Hill pass up bench players who had wide open looks just to swing the ball back inside to Duncan.

That's not how we got where we are. If you are afraid to trust your bench in the playoffs, what are you really made of anyhow? We saw that the bench was good, and they could have gotten involved earlier had a few of the starters not ignored them.

Yes, because they got my hopes up that they would stick with something that worked. Pop figured out a way to go away from both things that were working by the fourth quarter.
