Just not anything Blazers-related.
there's no way in hell we lose to friggin memphis two years in a row
I think we can win this time, but I agree that this is going to be a nasty, physical series.
It should be interesting to see what happens when the grizz get physical...because no team has ever tried that on the spurs before. Tim, Tony, Manu might not have the experience to know how to react.
Spurs in 4 the sweeps continue!!!
Are you trying to troll or your really believe that?Quote:

Actually, the Griz will be fun.
It will be fun to actually be challenged. We've been slaughtering the league for the past two months with mostly double-digit wins. I look forward to some got damn competition
It will be fun to play them when they're banged up and we're full strength
It will be fun to exorcise the demons of yesteryear. The Spurs always avenge their playoff ousters.
It will be fun because basketball is a fun sport, and our fuckin team rocks and is extremely entertaining to watch.
It will be fun because more people will put those Spurs flags on their cars the deeper we go.
It will be fun.
If the Spurs face the Grizzlies, they certainly won't be fun to deal with. However, the Spurs don't mind taking fouls either. Any chance to get free shots is a good thing. The thing make makes the Griz tough is their scrambling, hard-nosed defense, they run guys off the 3-pt line and they have trmendous interior size. That's why they would be "not fun".Quote:

Not only will the Spurs play with a chip on their shoulder but they also have edge now.
Grizzlies gon' get eviscerated, fur hats for everyone to remember the Alamo.
:king
Bring on a confident, mean, but weary team. The Spurs wil take their revenge, game by game. Oh yes.
Game by game.
The media will pan the series, as usual.
Spurs in 5.
Whoever said they would be fun? Respect all teams-- but fear none has always been my motto. Bring it on. We are all competitors, here.
:flag:
Stephen Jackson will always bring the Three Ts: Toughness, Threes and Turnovers.Quote:

grizzlies is definitely a good test to see if this spurs team is playoff tough.
I'm excited to see the Grizzlies more than the Clippers, we all know we could take them.. but the Grizzlies will bring more life to the playoff run and the Spurs could use that especially with OKC following. We need this kind of series like we needed to beat the Sonics for the 2005 title, it was a very physical series but I believe it propelled us.
Can't wait til Tuesday.. I will be watching Sunday.
mentally and physically, i'm glad if we get the grizz. i think if the clips advance it would be another easy series and i'm not too comfortable with 2 easy series before la or okc.
this cements it. we win the series. thanks tlong
Spurs in 5!
The Clippers are like a poor man's version of the Spurs and if they're giving Memphis this much trouble you can just imagine what SA will do to them.
Gay is just 23-74 from the field thanks to Kawhi/Green shutting him down, nearly every single one of those 23 FG's made was also against Dick.
Fuk yo Spurs hate Clown!
Stephen Jackson makes love to pressure!
why is a portland fan talkin shit about the spurs when his team is lottery bound?
Nah...Clips got this:toast
bring on the grizz. if we beat them maybe people will cut it out with the "spurs are good but look what happened last season" nonsense
Parker will rape Conley this year. Rudy Gay is a chucker. They don't have Arthur either. It's payback time. This series will not be fun for the Grizz assuming they even win game 7 against the Clippers. They still have to beat Chris Paul. I wouldn't count him out yet.
Not expecting it to be fun but the Spurs will retaliate and will get revenge. You can take that shit to the bank.

Yeh, id much rather play the Clipps. Gonna be a grueling series, with ppl likely getting injured and even if Spurs win they are gonna be banged up pretty bad for the OKC/ Lakers series. Conley, Zbo, Marc, Gay, all great players, while on the Clippers we d really only have to worry about Paul and the flob/lob.
Ye it sure looked that the last year. Hopefully they learned from that ass raping that was administered by Zbo and his buddies, right?Quote:

Brutal and almost evil, but that's the way I feel about the other team.
(I actually like Randolph and Gasol's game, personally, but I hate them as a group)
Grizz will not be fun for the Spurs? More like the Spurs will not be fun for the Grizz. Battier, Arthur, Vasquez and Young are not walking through that door. And most importantly, neither is Richard fucking Jefferson.

You know, I've been hoping for the Clips to win the series so SA would be matched up with yet another inferior opponent, but fuck it, bring on the Grizz so we can shut the media up about last year's exit. The Grizz have taken a step backwards since 2011, while the Spurs have jumped forward and will fuck the Grizz up this time around. And that's not even accounting for the revenge factor that will be at play.
The motivation factor of the Grizz will be huge since we swept the regular season series.

The grizz will scramble and run our guys off the 3-point line but our ball movement is just too could and we will continue to get open shots. They won't be able to keep up. I also expect TD to rape gaysol and randolph.
It's pretty clear they learned some things last year like Jefferson sucks, Blair is too small, and Manu needs two arms to play basketball.Quote:

Finally some logic. It's refreshing to see someone thinking about the actual numbers for once.Quote:

I honestly don't think TLong was being disrepectful and I love how easily some of you guys get defensive when he's just pointing out that the spurs struggled against bigger teams.
However, last years team and this years are 2 very different squads.
The Spurs wont be as easily intimidated as they were last year. There is a some toughness on this squad..
Ask any real spurs fan and they'll tell you that the Grizzlies were the team preferred...
Even the Spurs players themselves.
Memphis is who we really want....
Watching my team in the playoffs is fun for me.
Watching my team play when they're all healthy is fun for me.
Not having any of my high draft picks going through rehab is fun for me.
Um, welcome to Spurstalk, GNSF. I hope rayray changes his password soon.Quote:

1) Surprise factor 1 vs. 8 gone.
2) It was mentioned in one of the games Pop sat Tony down after Euro basketball and showed him the difference between his agression in that tournament and last years series. He hasn't been the same since. He also enjoys the MVP chants.
3) RJ is a gone and we have Leonard and Jack in place.
4) Manu doesn't have a broken elbow.
5) Tim is playing out of his mind and Tiago is a difference maker.
6) As athletic and talented as Rudy Gay is, his touches mean less of Gasol and Z bo.
I'll still call sweep, at most 5.

No surprise factor from the Griz perspective maybe a little surprise factor from the Spur viewpoint.Quote:

Are you out of your mind? You'd rather play the Thunder, or the Lakers, which have 2 superior big men down low and Kobe Bryant?Quote:

they played some ugly ball in this series, I don't think Spurs will have problems with either of them. I'd take Grizzlies in the name of revenge, but I'd take Clips because the only real threat is CP3.
Well if the spurs win this series. At least it would have been hard fought and we might see some emotion after a series win. Unlike last series where I think the spurs just felt sorry for the jazz
This is the matchup Hollins wanted
Next tlong thread:
"The Clippers will not be fun for you."
Solid bump. :lmaoQuote:

Moot!!!
Told ya!
They really won't be any fun for us. :lol
If anyone can fuck the Grizz out of 2nd round, it's Tlong starting a thread about them winning.
AAAaaaawwwww... We're not going to have any "fun" with The Grizz at all, folks. Like... at all. Shucks. *sigh* :depressed
