Game Thread: Spurs vs Grizzlies -- Game 1 - Sun. (4/17) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga)

[BatManu20]

Here it is, the Playoffs are finally here! The Spurs host a depleted 42-40 Grizzlies team that enters the playoffs having lost 10 of their last 11 games. This is the matchup we wanted, and there's no reason this series should not end in a sweep. Everyone is available for the Spurs and we're coming off 5 days rest, so everyone should be fresh. Not much more needs to be said. Let's get it.

[TrainOfThought5]

Gonna be a filthy game.. Hopefully no injuries.

[DPG21920]

DPG's Keys to Victory & Prediction:

Keys:

3's not a crowd: Memphis gives up a lot of 3PT attempts. Spurs have not attempted a ton of 3's this year, but if there is any series to get your 3PT stroke going again, this is it. This has been by far the biggest shift in the Spurs offense compared to last year. It was a drastic drop due to having LMA/Kawhi operate in the mid-range.

MEM gives up 26 3's a game which is 5th most in the league. Teams make 9.6 of them which is third most in the league. Spurs, hopefully led by Danny Green, should get more 3's than usual here.

Make A Damn Shot!: Spurs up's & down's on offense, especially to end the season really were about making shots. Most of the time outside of some crazy experimenting by Pop, Spurs were generating enough good looks to win. They simply weren't hitting. Spurs are undefeated this year when they shoot 50% or better (34-0). Sounds simple, but just make some damn shots. This will hold true for the entire playoffs I feel and is one of the biggest questions looming: Can SA make enough shots against good teams - especially if the offense is creating good looks?

Possessions are everything; value them: Memphis gives up a lot of 3PTA & FT, however they aren't the worst defense because of it, but very mediocre because of it. MEM statistically makes their living off of TO's. They give up plenty of assists, but create a top amount of TO's. If you don't TO, they can't beat you. Possessions are everything, value them.

Prediction for Game 1: This really shouldn't be a difficult series vs MEM. The great thing is the "pace" of the series should be very comfortable for SA. MEM & SA play at very similar paces which means SA doesn't have to worry about a funky flow to the games. Spurs win 105-87.

[Ron Swanson]

:flag:

[DPG21920]

Oh yeah, LMA has absolutely destroyed MEM this year - especially per NBA's numbers section of the series:

http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/200746/stats/?p=lamarcus-aldridge&Season=2015-16&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&Split=opp&sort=PTS&dir=1

[SpursFan86]

I hate to be a negative nancy, but honestly this series is about to be anti-climactic as shit :lol Everyone is all hyped up for the playoffs and excited for high-intensity basketball, but this series is going to be (or at least should be) a massacre. This Memphis team as currently constructed would probably struggle to win 20 games over an 82-game season :lol It's like us playing a playoff series against the current Nets or Suns. Don't get me wrong...I'm not complaining. I'll gladly take a 1st-round bye, especially after last season where we had to face a 55+ win team in the 1st round. Just don't think this series is going to be very playoffs-esque.

Regardless, let's take care of business :tu This is the perfect series to build up confidence and make sure everything starts clicking as we head deeper into the playoffs. Really hoping to see a good series from Danny.

I'll be mostly paying attention to how Aldridge, Danny, and Patty shoot. Those guys absolutely need to find their rhythm heading into the 2nd round tbh.

Pop should also find some rotation mins for Boban this series as he could play a role in a potential OKC matchup...

Grizzlies face tallest of tasks against Spurs

Bradford Doolittle
ESPN Staff Writer

SAN ANTONIO -- There are upsets, and there are stunners, and there are shockers -- but rarely are there shocking, stunning upsets. If the Memphis Grizzlies were to somehow knock off the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the NBA playoffs, it would qualify as some combination of all the above.

For me it comes back to Durant dissing Kawhi and then having to publicly retract it but not really.... ya know?
I like Durant though.... the story of him to SA is ridiculous though. What we need is a nice guard coming up next season.

Durant's going to like Kawhi even less when he and his "system" bump KD from the All-NBA First Team. Every voting I've seen has Leonard and LeBron as the 1st team forwards.

Offense still looks like shit :td

[tmtcsc]

The offense looks like shit.

[TheGreatYacht]

Get Parker back out there

[ElNono]

gotta score... run a play, something

[DMC]

Good time to tune up. Spurs still in RS form.

[Silver&Black]

Couple good looks from 3....not falling though.

[Darius Bieber]

Looking pathetic against the weakest team in the entire playoffs. This Spurs team won't make it past the second round. If they can even get past Memphis.

[SpurPadre]

So lucky we're playing a d league team now.

[tholdren]

this is what happens when you get a team full of jump shooters....

[atoyotagaspedal]

just go in the fucking hole

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi going for 60?
60 what? Cuz it ain't points :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

looking like the worst offensive team in the playoffs... what a fucking joke has this offense become.

[NASpurs]

26% Shooting :lmao Come on - this is ridiculous.

Par the course the past few weeks

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This team is nowhere near a top 3 all time Spurs team. Their regular season record is inflated.

Grizz shooting 4/17 and only down 1 :lmao

[Kawhitstorm]

Shots rattling out:bang

[Robz4000]

I'm not sure what the fuck happened to the Spurs but they're clearly not a playoff team atm.

[will_spurs]

Live and die by the jumpshot. Mostly die.

[313]

Get Parker back out there

[beirmeistr]

drive! there's no gasol

[Horse]

Getting good looks just can't hit shit

[Budkin]

Chip gonna get his ass fired this offseason.

[MVPCues]

More mediocre offense. Hopefully this game will be a primer.

[BillMc]

All our shooters in a slump...:bang

[T_L_P]

LaMarc rounding into Playoff form, it seems.

[SPURt]

Shooting like balls. I hope they get it out of their system this round.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Offense is clunk af tbh

So many 3's that have been missing the mark and LMA is choking

[tmtcsc]

LMA looking at his hand like a pussy. David West not wanting to even shoot the ball. Spurs look bad tonight. No next-level, no extra intensity.

[spursistan]

getting Memphis was really blessing ..Spurs in some major shooting drought...Kawhi/LMA now joining the brick crew...

[DBMethos]

R.I.P. Beautiful Game. :depressed

[NASpurs]

Remember when this team could make threes and hit jumpers? Yeah neither can I.

Doesn't take a mathematician to figure that one out genius.

[sasaint]

gotta score... run a play, something

Perfect opportunity and opponent to give Miller some good, early minutes to get us into some good offensive flow. Won't happen.

[Holden_Caulfield]

put it simmons, that nigga will drive to the basket

[TheGreatYacht]

Pop gonna get his ass fired this offseason.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

They're not running the offense. Plus Tony took some horrible shots

[tholdren]

Remember when this team could make threes and hit jumpers? Yeah neither can I.
lol - Leonard Ball

[boutons_deux]

25% vs 23% :lol

[ElNono]

:lol it's early, chill
