This team has developed a bad pattern in the last few years: they follow up what seems like a series-controlling blowout with a dud the next game--all at home..
It happened vs the Heat in 2013 (G4), vs the Clippers in 2015 (G4), and last year vs OKC (G2). They eventually lost all three.
Time to go for the jugular and demoralize this Memphis team. This series has no business extending beyond 5 games. We can't afford a letdown here, especially with the Rockets looking like they will make a quick work of OKC.

What I liked about Game 1 was the fact that the Spurs were able to overcome a bad start and find their groove as the game went on.
I would be more nervous about game 2 if we had coasted to an easy win, leading the entire way. But what I'm hoping for is that the Spurs finally woke up from their long sleep that stretched from the end of the regular season and now have something to build on.
Gotta Hustle, get those loose rebounds, play D and the rest will work itself out.
We win ,.....................!
Going to be a tricky game. I suspect the memphis scrubs would play better.
Also, expect hard doubles and hedges on Kawhi. Other players should expect this and be ready to attack.
Spurs 88 Grizzlies 81
Memphis gonna come on with a vengeance. Spurs need to take care of business and start piling dirt on that bear's corpse.
Danny Green game tbh..Also, we know Gasol probably can't play any better so any dip in production by him will HAVE to be offset by their others.
We know we have 3 players that have defended Conley well for a while (TP and yes the numbers show this, Danny and Kawhi). He's capable of having great games obviously but SA has multiple looks to throw at him.
Just have to make sure Dedmon isn't a dud, Danny will get looks and as long as TP doesn't evaporate on offense SA should be fine especially if Manu contributes any points.
GSG!
Don't want to lose HC to these guys, need our bench to continue dominating!
Yeah, I'm worried Memphis is gonna come out with Conley and Gasol hitting everything while the Spurs can't get their heads out of their asses for like the first nine minutes. No idea if the team could handle that.
Probably gonna see Memphis' bench go hard tonight. Don't expect Z-Bo do be that bad again. Memphis will win.

You just described the 1st quarter of game 1.
You said we would get swept. Your predictions trolling are failing left and right
Spurs win by at least 12
love to see Timmy around ...
Anyone else like laughing, zombie Kawhi at the end of this trailer? May need to make it an avatar soon.
