Isn't it the other way around? That is, the Grizzlies being so demoralized after coming so close to winning that it negatively affects their psyche and confidence and completely shifts momentum in our favor? Just like that Duncan 3 against the Suns.
Memphis will undoubtedly come out with anger and energy..absolutely no doubt about it..they just lost a heartbreaker, when they were seconds away from winning the first playoff series in their franchise's history..
The Spurs have had problems sustaining a high energy level, they have played without passion for most of this series, and some key rotation players on this team have no balls..
Do you expect the Spurs to come out strong?..they will have to keep the game close by halftime, within 3 or have a lead IMO..

They ing better
Spurs season ends on Friday.
Splitter MUST get more PT.
Grizzlies aren't going to be demoralized..
They have already shown that they're a team that talks a lot of and plays with a lot of swag..their coach has displayed that he enjoys that type of style of play..their style of play translates to toughness(interior scoring + defense on the perimeter)..
Spurs need to come out strong..I'm not sure how confident I am in that, though, tbh..
Memphis is going to ass the Spurs in their own building.
BOOK it.
If the Spurs win, I'll ban myself for life.
But if they lose, your girlfriend has to suck my .
If there was an ideal way for the Spurs to win, I think this was it. If they blew out the Grizz, I think they would just write it off and tell themselves they wanted to win it at home...Losing a heartbreaker like this where so much emotion was spent will really hurt the young team more than the experienced one...
Grizz still probably win Friday though...
This wasn't the ideal way for Memphis to lose at San Antonio.
I would say if they got blown out it was ok but this has to be disheartening somewhat.
The solution is simple: they MUST match the Grizzles energy in g6 or it's over!!
I hope this game does something for them. I really do.
the good news is that Tony has found his jumpshot.
Teams either come out angry or demoralized after a loss like this. i expect the Grizzlies to come out absolutely angry on Friday in front of their home court.
Like HH said, keep it close or maybe get a lead through 3qtrs and the doubt starts to creep in...
Probably one of your better posts on this forum.
Honestly...I don't think they make it back...but I'm so proud of these guys right now that it really doesn't matter. Even if it was for a moment...they looked and felt like the Spurs I've come to know so well.
I think it's more like the Spurs should come out strong after halftime. The Grizzlies have been raping the Spurs in that damn third quarter.
Closing a team out in the playoffs is something the Grizz have never expierenced. So lets see how Memphis responds.
Uh the season is over if they lose
no they will be prepared..
As excited as I am about the victory I still believe Grizzlies will come out with more of the same for Game 6 and close it out at home. We still do not have an answer for Randolph and their role players keep stepping up. Spurs only chance of winning is of the Grizz role players do not step up.
So much pressure on the Grizzlies now.
If these spurs come out like they did in the last 4 mins and the overtime I say yes but im going to stay with my original opinion of the spurs being jeckyl and hyde. One day up one day down.1 more spurs
Yes
They don't want game 7 in our place. The pressure is all on them to close it out in theirs..
i want pop to pull his head out of his ass, and use proper sub rotations to protect a lead or close out a fkn quarter....
I'm hoping for a repeat of Game 2 - where Gasol and Randolph had a crappy game. I keep waiting for this Memphis team to come down to earth and make some mistakes.
And I'm hoping for the Spurs to be REALLY hot from 3-point land. They're due for a game like that (keeping fingers crossed).
I honestly think it will all depend on Pop. If the Pop who woke up during the last five minutes of tonight's game and resembled the Pop who orchestrated the Spurs winning four rings shows up then it won't matter how the Grizz respond. If it's the Pop who seemingly is ready for retirement while he wastes Tim's last couple of years as he pony-expresses in his game plan then it also won't matter because it will be fishing time.
