He looked deflated tbh in the press interview. He said some things that made me think the Grizzlies have lost steam and that he in particular had lost hope - that "we don't have the fire power" to score with them and the only way to win is "we have to get stops". He didn't seem to believe they could improve in either area. Very discouraged tbh... I like that. Bodes well.
I don't see us responding as poorly to their perimeter second unit next game. I hope the officiating is a bit more consistent. We're the appreciably better team.
Yeah, officiating was terrible tbh. Importantly too, it looked like the Spurs took their foot off the pedal a bit out of exhaustion. They will likely be able to play close to 48 mins in game three. It will be key for them to jump on the Grizz early and take the crowd out of it. Give them no daylight!Quote:

Huge porker tbh. And the ESPN, whichever scrub was calling the game said that due to his weight loss he should be a model for weight loss for the NBA along with Kevin Love, as if they should get a huge Jenny Craig endorsement or something lol.Quote:

saw it and i thought his demeanor was the one of a confident guy just like Hollins's

At least we know he'll be able to eat his sorrows away when the Spurs knock his bitch team out. Better then suicide. :tuQuote:

:lol :lol
link to his post game interview from game 2? doesn't seem to be posted on the Spurs or Grizz nba pages
Randolph looked more defeated, tbh
He knows he's a weak link and it's killing him.
The buffoons who are calling Gasol fat.
Marc Gasol took rigorous exercises and training regimen to get in shape as he is now. Part of what he did included running long treks of the mountains in Catalonia (recently Abidal did the same thing in order to get back to fitness for Barca).
Marc Gasol is one of the fittest and strongest centers in the league now. Who would have thought he could turn out to be a DPOY player in 2008 when his brother was traded for him?
Props to Gasol. He really makes a huge impact on defense. No coincidence much of the scoring binges the Spurs had last night happened with him on the bench. After seeing him last night, I get the DPOY nod. Not that Timmy isn't just as worthy, but no doubt it's hard to score on Gasol in the paint.
Hes IMO the best center in basketball, not even close. That said, he is really Boris Diaw like passive out there and Splitter deserves a lot of credit. Splitter has done an even better job guarding him than I thought he would.
Yeah, Gasol has been really passive. There were a few opportunities for him to score that he inexplicably passed up. Some were open jumpers, others were straight drives to the rim.
:cry You tell 'em buddy! :cryQuote:

When you know the refs tried their best to gift you a game with every 2nd half call going your way and the worst flagrant foul call in history gifting you a shot at OT YET you still lose... you feel pretty defeatedQuote:

If I were him I would be elated because of the officiating. Tim Duncan is now in foul trouble at all times even if he just has 1 foul several minutes into the 3rd quarter. He's always 30 seconds away from having to sit down with foul trouble at this point. Plus they know they can get away with fouls all night as long as they aren't too overt with it. NBA wants it to be a longer series, and it will be if the refs officiate the next 2 games like they did in the 2nd half unless the Spurs shoot the lights out and score way over 100 in one of these next 2 games.
Easily, yeah. I would not mind at all if the Spurs' front office went after Marc Gasol when Duncan retired. Hell, even before if it were even possible.Quote:

If I were a Grizzlies fan, I'd be far more concerned with Fat Gasol's during game demeanor.
