Spurs in 6, the team is struggling a little bit.

Re: Round 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies brought to you by Avoid At All Costs
Spurs in 6.
Spurs in 4 if Parker is aggressive and owns Conley like he used to

Going at least 6. Even Pop recognizes this team isn't playing playoff basketball. They are ripe to be upset.

I'm gonna say a clean sweep, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Grizz pulled off a win on their court.

Re: Round 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies brought to you by Avoid At All Costs
I believe Vince Carter will be the best TOSB SG on the court at all times

Spurs slump continues into the 1st round: Grizz in 6.
The playoffs are not meant for teams without a viable PG.

I don't know. Some would say rookie Donavan outcoached Pop last year, tho you could also say Westbrook/Durant may have had more to do w the upset.

Re: Round 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies brought to you by Avoid At All Costs
Spurs in 5. Grizzlies win Game 3 and then it's doneskies.
Peeps on this board seriously underestimating this team...even they are falling for the Below the Radar schtick.

Re: Round 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies brought to you by Avoid At All Costs
Grizz in 6.
Conley will look like he deserves that ridiculously ill advised contract he got. Almost 30ppg.
Vince will have a vintage game and/or hit a game winner.
Kawhi and Green will forget how to shoot.
Aldridge will back down people into the stands, then miss the point blank lay ups.
Manu will have 1 vintage game.
Tony Allen will produce a Roberson 2016 like quote on Kawhi.

Re: Round 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies brought to you by Avoid At All Costs
spurs in a grueling six games.
-
Re: Round 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies brought to you by Avoid At All Costs
Spurs will win game 1 by 38 points and make us forget about all the problems.
Then spurs will lose game 2 by 5 or less.
Then win game 3.
Lose game 4 by 25 pts.
Then win game 5 and 6 (maybe 7 if we lose game 6)
-
Re: Round 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies brought to you by Avoid At All Costs
The Grizz' defense won't be the problem. It will be whether guys like JaMychal, Vince, Daniels and Ennis go off.

It's not a threat. They beat the Spurs because their scrubs went off. If that doesn't happen, the Spurs win. Memphis is not match for SA on paper.
-
Re: Round 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies brought to you by Avoid At All Costs
This will be a bigger issue in the second round if the Spurs make it, but the complete inability to stop penetration in the lane is going to be a death knell for this team. That factored with our own inability to generate easy buckets due to the lack of slashers and inability to get to the FT line consistently.
This team is just too flawed to go far in the playoffs.

to quote Jalen Rose Walis (broom) meaning sweep or at worst a gentleman's sweep meaning 5.

Re: Round 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies brought to you by Avoid At All Costs
The Grizzlies are probably going to miss the playoffs next season..It says something about the Spurs that plenty of us are expecting a dogfight of sort against them..:lol
SA in 6 or 7 where it should've been a confident gentleman sweep pick instead..
-
Re: Round 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies brought to you by Avoid At All Costs
Here is my prediction folks
Wait for it...
Wait for it...
Ok
Spurs in 6
With one caveat, Spurs lose game 1 or 2 and its Grizz in 6
We NEED TO WIN BOTH HOME GAMES
we have a bunch old mentally soft niggas that will lose it if the series is close early and Grizz tighten the torture chamber
-
Re: Round 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies brought to you by Avoid At All Costs
Lol its the Playoffs.. Pop vs Fisdale. Spurs in 4
-
Re: Round 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies brought to you by Avoid At All Costs
Looking forward to Round One and feel like the Grizzlies will be a good warm-up!

I think the TBD is because Utah and Clips are still fighting for HCA?

Re: Round 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies brought to you by Avoid At All Costs
man the last few regular season games were depressing. I couldn't tell if the Spurs were just going through the motions or just couldn't stop anyone. Icy/hot is chilly, Dewayne is regressing to the mean, Pau still is Pau on defense, and Simmons has no faith in his outside shot. Good news is that the only teams that appear to be running on all cylinders are the Dubs and the Clips, neither of which we would see until the WCF.

This. The defense looks awful. They couldn't stop the Jazz? They kept getting fooled by the diving big man, and regularly left shooters wide open. It was pre-season quality basketball. Tim would have never tolerated that shit.
And on offense they looked very poor. They are lucky TP had it going on ISO's. Kawhi was disappointing.

Why the hell is Green practicing his shooting inside the arc? Does he know he averages 0.5 free throw attempts a game? Lmfao man work on that broke shot

Re: Round 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies brought to you by Avoid At All Costs
Interesting tidbit on Manu vs MEM this year (and the bench in general):
Quote:
The number to know
+8.9 -- For the second straight season, the Spurs led the league in *aggregate bench NetRtg at plus-8.9. Patty Mills, Manu Ginobili, David Lee and Jonathon Simmons all ranked in the top 10 in raw plus-minus off the bench and Pau Gasol has been remarkably efficient off the bench since returning from his hand injury. But in their four games against Memphis, the Spurs' aggregate NetRtg was minus-4.5 and Ginobili's minus-20 over the four games was his worst plus-minus against any opponent.

Re: Round 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies brought to you by Avoid At All Costs
Also, for those lamenting TP vs MEM:
Quote:
According to SportVU, the players who defended each other most over the four games were Tony Parker and Mike Conley. Parker scored 21 points on 10-for-21 shooting with Conley defending him (for 23:18), while Conley scored 18 points on 7-for-17 shooting with Parker defending him (for 23:58).

But yeah, Manu probably has one of the toughest matchups in this series against a rejuvenated Vince Carter...

So how many HOFers in this series (not counting Pop and Becky, etc)?
Locks: Tony, Manu, Pau, Vince
On Pace: Kawhi (probably a lock already), LaMarcus, Marc
Outside Chance: Z-Bo
No Chance But Had A Good Enough Career Someone Will Bring Them UP Anyway: Mike C., David Lee, Tony Allen

Carter is nowhere near a lock :lol
Lamarcus is not on Pace unless San Antonio wins a ring.
Unless a catastrophoc injury were to happen Leonard..At worst he's going to be a top 30 player ever.
Marc is not on pace. :lol
Tony and Manu are locks
Kawhi barring injury will make it
Gasol-Aldridge needs a champipnship.

I think Carter is a lock.
I think Pau is probably in.
LMA needs a ring.
