Spurs are +4.5 dogs on Saturday, fwiw
They also talk it up like they just smoked the thunder. They always leave out the injuries to make them look a little better. Just kind of annoying, buuuut I've not heard them mention us beating a Kobe-less lakers so I guess it's not that big of a dealQuote:

I've said Spurs in 7 and I'm sticking with it...but Memphis' offense is even worse than I expected. At the beginning of the series I would have said 20%...but now I'll up that to 40%.
damn spurs will seem to have weeks off if they sweep.
go pacers...
This is one of those things where you'll never know what the true probability is because there's only one shot at it. (Yes I know it's two games but we're talking about the outcome of both together, so it's a single event that will end up 2-0, 1-1, or 0-2)
75%, for I am sure Pop will get the Spurs to relax a little in Game 4 if they take Game 3.
They can't score unless their in the penalty or Duncan is off the floor. So if and it's a big if we get the refs to call it down the middle memphis shouldn't even win a game.
I'd say 20%
The Spurs have three consecutive chances to grab a 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2 series lead.
Even winning just one in Memphis puts the Spurs in commanding position to close the game out at home at Game Five.
Split? Spurs are going to fukin sweep.
Pretty good chance. I think Memphis wins Game 3, clearly a pride/have to win game. Game 4 is up in the air, in my opinion.
99.999999999% chance of a split. BOOK IT!
Assuming each game is a coin toss - a stupid assumption - then the chances of Memphis winning both games is 25%. So, by that highly flawed logic, the Spurs have a 75% chance of winning at least one game.
I don't see how, according to TimVP's suicidal post before G1, Spurs can win 3 of the first 4 games against the overwhelming favorite Grizzlies.. I just don't see it :/

Spurs / Grizz on 3+ days of rest.
Grizz 2-3
Spurs 5-1
On Saturday games
Grizz: 7-6
Spurs: 12-0
70% we split, 20% we sweep, 10% Grizz sweep.Quote:

It depends on how bad the officiating is. The Spurs are capable of winning at least one, and my prediction before the series started was Spurs in 5.
Spurs are clearly capable of beating the Grizzlies at their own game, and at our game. It's like people forgot the Spurs were a slow halfcourt team for like 12 years until recently. Our main 3 haven't forgotten how to play that way. Spurs can win at any pace tbh.
The most glaring aspect is how bad the Grizzlies offense struggles against the Spurs' underrated defense (3rd in NBA in defensive rating btw). They will have a lot of trouble scoring 90 points, while 90 for the Spurs is an off night.
In the end, the Spurs' D' is only slightly worse than the Grizzlies' D', and the Spurs' offense is much better than theirs. With Timmy being able to lock down ZBo so badly, the Grizzlies are in trouble unless the refs artificially take Duncan out of the game again.
*eyebrow raise* Weird, random stats. . .but thanks! It'd be great if the Spurs could take game 3. :)Quote:

no way Memphis is losing game 3. ANd no way NBA allows it. Series will be 2-1 going into game 4.
Spurs can hope they can somehow steal game 4. Otherwise. Biggest game of the year, Game 5 in San Antonio.
