griz in 7
More open 3-pointers for DLeague Danny to miss!
Woj says Grizz coaches expecting that he'll be out for the entire series.
Welllll....that's helpful.
You just can't stand to actually root for the Spurs, can you?Quote:

big blow to Memphis.
Between Parsons contract, their shitty drafting and going all-in with the old and injury-prone Gasol/Conley core, the Grizzlies future look grim.
Well, this can help the ugly Spurs guards situation.
Truth hurts.Quote:

That sucks. Another boring series.
Does nlt change my prediction of spurs in 5 but Leonard needs all the practice. Who's going to guard him now? James Ennis? :lol
This should eliminate their chances of having this become an extended series, since their only real hope is grinding the Spurs' laboring offense to a halt.
As much of an offensive liability as Allen is, their wing depth was already poor and now it's pathetic. They should start Ennis, but it's possible Harrison or Selden might be starting a playoff game(s). :lmao

Instead, you seem to think that it makes for a good opportunity to dog Danny Green's shooting percentages for no apparent reason.
It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby.
Doesn't mean muchQuote:

I'm being serious. Like it doesn't change my opinion that SA will whoop up on MEM but I think TA is a negative player in modern playoffs.Quote:

Kinda hard to have a raw positive plus minus when he was playing the fucking spurs with a depleted team. :lolQuote:

My man - his offense is so bad it clearly off sets his defense. Especially when game planned for. Being able to cheat off him and hide your worst defender on him is anti-gravity. He's very detrimental IMO in the new age.Quote:

What the fuck does one of these things have to do with another?Quote:

I swear to God, some of you people just look for reasons to fucking bitch...lo0king for some half-assed, hare-brained reason to say "I told you so".
If you want a new team to root for, go find it. There are 29 other fanbases you could be annoying right now.

Tony Allen out indefinitely
Things in the NBA have changed since then. And TA was in his absoulte prime defensively where he probably outweighed his offensive deficiency then.Quote:

At this point, if this series go beyond 5 games it would be more of a reflection of our own vulnerabilities and the persistence of uninspiring basketball the team has been playing since the All Star break.
Calf strain?? Tiago splitter says Hi!!
I think you're mistaken. Tiago had a vagina strain.Quote:

The Spurs are acutally in a good bracket. Grizz and Hou/OKC without durant. Remember last year Westbrook was almost a non factor due to kawhi.Quote:

I kind of like the idea of meeting the MVP in the second round, and having him put up triple doubles every game, and still lose. And I think the Spurs could beat anyone in the East, if they get that far. So, yeah, I agree with you that the WCF will be the real Finals - or at least should be.
But I'd laugh my ass off if Lillard goes crazy and beats GSW in the first round. As long as the Spurs are catching breaks, why not get a big one?
I thought about that too. Only if curry goes down do I see that. :lolQuote:

Allen injured or not, it doesn't increase the chance of Danny Green hitting an open jumper which he hasn't consistently done in 3 seasons.Quote:

Turn this into a proper thread by claiming you know Allen personally and then promptly follow this with a hate Parker, Manu, Patty statement. Then choose an emoticon a slow child would use.
He will play in round 2
That's funny, I could've sworn that Danny was shooting .379 which is ABOVE the league average of .358.Quote:

Good fucking vision? You're a blind hater and it's obvious to everyone but yourself.
But go ahead, and keep bitching about things that (as you state) have nothing to do with the topic at hand.
If the Spurs lose this series without Tony Allen, they are worse than the Lakers, and should consider folding as a NBA franchise. Spurs in 5
Nice avi, faggot :lol Gonna be obsolete in a week though. Might as well start searching for a real nice Rockets avi lmaoQuote:

37.9% from three isn't good enough when that's literally the only thing you can do on offense :lol
Whether it's Harden, Curry, or Lebron. Teams from now on will hide their stars on Danny to get them some rest because of how god awful and a non-threat he is on that side.
As for the Grizzlies.... they'll get to hide 40yr old Vince Carter, Troy Daniels, and Wayne Selden on him.
38% on three is better than 50% on two. If he shoots more it evens out.
Another reason why i strongly advocate kawhi on the ball and Aldridge reduced to role player satuts. Perimeter scorers will always generate more threes.
Allen has been overrated for awhile but definitely better not having him out there throwing cheap shots at our players
inb4 Tony Allen pulls an Ibaka and comes back with a miracle recovery
:lmaoQuote:

Yep.. Allen absence helped the Grizz on the offensive end..they put up a 111 OFF rating in game 3/4 with their shooters going 21/49 from 3PT..Floor is much more spaced for Conley to crave us up..
But but but the laughing emoji!Quote:

Ya have the most fucking mainstream vanilla takes ever. :lmao
