Hollins looking smug

[Calispursfan11]

In the press conference he was smiling and joking around after the loss. He plays it cool, but there is an unsettling cocky look on his face that totally bothers me. Am I alone in this?

[mexicanjunior]

His oversmile was unsettling...hopefully it was just an act and he is hurting inside...

[SpurOutofTownFan]

randolph being cocky with his finger to the mouth was ridiculous - telling the crown to shut up

[ajballer4]

I hate that guy. And randolph. And especially Haddadi. Sit the fuck down

[SpurOutofTownFan]

lol haddadi played 1 second LOL

[Marcus Bryant]

[pjjrfan]

He looked worried there the last few minutes of regulation. No smugness there.

The disparity between Randolph's unathletic body/face and his apparent awesomeness is also unsettling - like he's an average albeit very tall joe six pack with superhuman abilities. What foul sorcery is this?

Where can I watch the press conference online?

[gospursgojas]

That attitude won them 3 games. Spurs need to overcome it like they did tonight.

[Reck]

Who knows, maybe someone made a joke?

Either way, if I'm Hollins, I would be in a good mood. His team only needs 1 win while the Spurs need two so yeah I would be smiling too.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

im sure this was a heartbreaker for them - this isn't the way you lose a game up 3-1

i think it was a better loss for them just being blown out

[Mugen]

what did you guys want him to do? Act depressed and beaten?

Memphis plays better when they are chock full of swag. They get it from their coach. He did what he thinks his team needed to see from him...

Let it slide SpurFan.

[HarlemHeat37]

His team is the 8th seed and they're unexpectedly up 3-2, going back for a home game..he has plenty of reasons to be happy..

[wunderkindepiphany]

LOL, what? Randolph is super athletic. He was a handful for McDyess all night.

[ElNono]

He tanked to get the Spurs, they're 3-2 going to close the series at home... he might be cocky and smug, but he's onto something...

[Calispursfan11]

LOL, what? Randolph is super athletic. He was a handful for McDyess all night.

Yes, he is pretty athletic, but his face looks like a dude who lives on Cheetos and 7-11 Super Gulps and his body is really weird looking - not buff or cut etc... So what I'm saying is his abilities are far greater than what he looks like he can actually accomplish. This can only be the result of a pact with Satan.

[roycrikside]

Why shouldn't he be smug? He knows they should've won tonight and it took a miracle for us to pull it out. He knows he's got the tougher, more consistent team with more guys playing well. Manu pretty much said the same thing in his presser. The Spurs' "experience" means nothing so far. The Grizzlies are playing with more aggressiveness and edge. Manu's words.

If Hollins is smug it's because there is absolutely nothing that happened today, NOTHING at all, that suggest Grizzlies won't win Game 6, and probably easily. The Spurs role/bench players have an annoying habit of shriveling up and going soft on the road, and Duncan is capable of at best 1 good quarter per game. Winning Game 6 would be a pretty big upset for us, tbh.

[Capt Bringdown]

He tanked to get us, his disrespect is a matter of record.
Spurs need to get nasty now.

[Trainwreck2100]

lol he tanked to get the spurs and called out Duncan before the series. And the Spurs response was to go down 3-1 so of course he's smug. The Spurs haven't given him reason not to be

[Calispursfan11]

What an arse.

Hope you're right!

And wipe that "Wait 'til they get a load of me Joker-like" smile off his face.......1 time.

[Budkin]

Goddamn I hope we win this series.

[Calispursfan11]

Time to smack that smile in the mouth!

[bigfan]

I wish one of our pine-riders would have cold-cocked Randolf when he did that shush thing.

[Calispursfan11]

Agree and I was about to clock the homer Grizz announcers for continually referring to him as Z-BO. I'm going to call him D-BO from now on as in Dough-Boy.

[Obstructed_View]

Hollins thinks he's a genius. He sat his players to get the Spurs, and the Spurs have completely lost themselves for the playoffs and he doesn't realize that he has nothing to do with it. The Spurs very well may let him off the hook for that mistake, which is why he's smiling.

The Spurs probably need to play the disrespect card at some point and get themselves going.

I agree it's time to stop respecting these little punks, but that's one of the Spurs' few flaws - they are TOO nice.

[Pauleta14]

As much respect I have for their team and hustle, I HATE THEIR COCKINESS!!!

Not only Hollins or ZBo, the whole team...

This X100. Pop needs to sit the spurs down now and explain all this to them and light a fire on the spurs ass in memphis

It's really the Spurs' fault for giving a young team confidence by playing so poorly.

i know what your saying he definitely looks like his mom was a crackhead whore who gave birth to a preemie baby (randolf) like he has a barrel chest and a fucked up deformity around his neck or jaw right??? shit i dont feel bad for that asshole i used to see these kind of babys all the time and he looks like hes got birth defects :wakeup

The start of the 4th quarter was a microcosm of this entire series in how Memphis has punkd the Spurs.....hopefully the final minutes and OT changes that around.

[ALVAREZ6]

who cares....let him be smug, the more lax he is, the less ready he will have his team for the choo-choo that's gonna arrive ready to play on friday.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Next game has to be like the Spurs/Suns series. Remember cheap shot rob... well, the spurs have to show some claws now and play for their lives in their home court. Someone needs to break some nails

Could star in a creature sci-fi action/horror flick where marines sent in to investigate the situation get killed off one by one. He would be the creature who kills them off.

Spurs have approached this series with rounded shoulders and downcast eyes from the get-go. Memphis has looked like the crafty hardened veterans, not us. Here's to hoping the Spurs have finally lifted their heads after Neal's courageous shot.

off their smug punka$$ faces!

[san antonio spurs]

Why do spurs fans assume the spurs might just turn it on? They are over matched. If they win, it would have more to do with the Grizzlies playing poorly than the spurs overplaying them.

The sleepwalking Spurs are almost overmatched, it's true.

So far in this series the Grizzlies have played five good games and the Spurs have played zero good games. It's 3-2. I'll leave it to you to do the math.

Well... Miracles have won us championships. Elliott's Memorial Day Miracle, we should have lost to Portland in 99 and Horry's shot in 05 against Detroit. Hollins should be concerned that his team failed to close out the Spurs when they had a chance. The pressure is clearly on Memphis to close it out on Friday because they do not want to return to San Antonio for a game 7.

[Obstructed_View]

No Spurs team has won a championship without a little bit of luck. Perhaps the Spurs will realize that this was theirs and capitalize on it.

[DJ Mbenga]

he has no reason to not be confident. this loss was luck. all the other games the grizz outplayed the spurs. he is playing with house fire. he can just tell his team we've outplayed them 5 times already. do it 1 more time

They do look a bit suspect now that you mention it.

LOL ! He's a black Larry Bird.

No doubt about it!

They deserve what they got, I just think you have to respect your opponent, no matter win or lose...

You'll never see a spur act like ZBo after his last shot on regulation or Allen calling out Manu a faker, or Conley, Mayo and Holins always smilling like they don't give a fuck...

They are good enough to win without that.

As some poster said, Hollins thinks he's a genius, but as well as the grizz are playing, the spurs level is the main reason they are up 3-2...

If Tony or RJ or Bonner or Hill (...) was playing slightly better, they wouldn't look soo good... :bang:bang

[Hoops Czar]

His oversmile was unsettling...hopefully it was just an act and he is hurting inside...

What, should Randolph be apologizing to the Spurs for hitting big shots and making clutch free throws down the stretch? They're up 3-2 heading home, why shouldn't he be happy?

[Venti Quattro]

Where were you when he REALLY was that? He's now slimmed down with just the right balance of bulk and strength to push around defenders.

[TheProfessor]

He's got a young team that just lost an emotional game. By smiling and staying loose at the press conference, he's conveying a "we got this" attitude and preventing some of the pressure from shifting to his players.

[CGD]

What do you expect from him? He's not going to cry about it, and send to bad message to his team ahead of Game 6. I've been incredibly impressed by Hollins as a coach.

[Spur-Addict]

He looks like an Isley

:lol
