Not scared of either to be honest........ If the spurs play spurs ball we win in 5 or 6

Obviously, OKC is weaker now that they no longer have KD...but Westbrook is playing at a nuclear level, Oladipo is capable of going off, and I don't want to see our frontline getting bullied by Adams, Gibson, and Kanter.
Although 2011 left a bad taste in all of our mouths, the Spurs have otherwise been 12-0 in the playoffs against Memphis since 2004. Personally, I'm fine with grit and grinding it through the first round against Memphis.
Westbrook is a statpadder who doesn't give a shit about winning games. It's pretty hard to argue his supporting cast is lesser than Harden's and yet Harden is going to take his team to around 55 wins. It'll be such a travesty if he gets MVP over Harden or Leonard.

I'd take Durant's 59 games over Westbrook's season too.

The reality is that not one team out West fears the Spurs. Kawhi will get double teamed and the rest of the team will be very easy to stop.

[QUOTE=hater;8956294]They sat most if their starters including Gasol in the OT :wow
Official disrespectful tank for us
:pctoss[/QUOTE
Maybe coney was hurt and gaysol was coming off injury. Not worth the risk when the spots are basically locked in already. Fuck the grizz and Fuck you!

This seems accurate.
Re: Memphis officially tanked for us tonight. A slap in the face
this memphis team is different than the other memphis teams we've owned the past few years.
i don't see them beating the spurs. they do look comfortable against us though.
Re: Memphis officially tanked for us tonight. A slap in the face
imagine this grizzlies team if they had maxed out someone else instead of chandler parsons.
they're playing without their second highest paid player.

Imagine this Spurs team had they paid $15 million to someone else instead of Parker.
Re: Memphis officially tanked for us tonight. A slap in the face
Imagine if they still had Barnes :wow
Avoid at all costs
Re: Memphis officially tanked for us tonight. A slap in the face
I'll watch every second of the series, but it will feel like 2003 against the Nets. That was some painfully slow basketball to watch. And if last night was any indication ...

This. They'd best not get their hopes up. This isn't 2011. This team has Prime Kawhi.

Re: Memphis officially tanked for us tonight. A slap in the face
Pop also wants this match-up apparently..

This was running through my head when Kawhi hit his head (again) on Conley. I was like oh no...
