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 don't think this series will much more interesting than the Jazz series whether it's the Grizzlies or Clippers but we'll find out soon enough.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:
