They did beat the Spurs. So my answer is yes.

Yes...and more pleasant to watch.
Spurs have a -1 Road Win/Home Loss Differential, are 8-15 against teams with winning records, and have played 26 home games and 17 road games. Their point differential, however, is 4.9
The Grizz have a +2 Road Win/Home Loss Differential, are 13-12 against teams with winning records, and have played 22 home games and 21 road games. Their point differential, however, is only 0.2
Well Menphis is a pleasant surprise with Mayo Zach Gay and Gasol they have a solid core. Conley is decent and distributes the ball. Their big problem is they have absolutely 0 bench and their big 4 is playing 40 mn per game. On the other hand spurs are playing poorly but on PO I'll bet on the spurs
No, but they're sure playing like it
No because they have a worse record than the Spurs do right now.....
No, they don't:
Spurs: -1 Road Win/Home Loss Differential, 8-15 against +.500 teams, 26/17 Home Games/Road Games, 4.9 Point Differential
Grizz: +2 Road Win/Home Loss Differential, 13-12 against +.500 teams, 22/22 Home Games/Road Games, .2 Point Differential
You'd be better off arguing that the Spurs' superior point differential makes them the better team.
If the spurs really wanted to beat the grizzlies they could/would. if the spurs ran the offense through duncan this year, our w/l record would no doubt be better. pop and crew know that by doing that though would result in the same ending. no championship. keeping duncan fresh is still the key. the spurs will come around. it might take a move or 2 to spark it. but it will happen. im not saying they will win the chip, but there not going to miss the playoffs or anything
What no poll this time around? http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145245
The Grizz will be a lesser overall team once its all said and done. If they make it to the playoffs I think they'll be abused by the older teams whether its due to veterans stepping up in the playoffs or being outcoached.
But if you're young and athletic you're going to give the regular season Spurs problems but I'm still siding SA. This would be a better thread come the Rodeo Trip - if Duncan slips and the rest of the team hasn't figured out defense then it might be different. Then again the Grizz will have to continue winning as well.
yes, they do.

I would really be exited about the point differential if the Spurs did not give away so many games after having lead by double digits, just like they did in the last 3 games.![]()
Memphis has a better Road Win/Home Loss differential and a better record against +.500 teams. The Spurs have played nine more home games than roadies, whereas the Grizz have played only 1 more home game than roadies. So, yes, the Grizzlies have a better record.
When we play small ball we are a lottery team.
as if your thead on the NBA forum was not pathetic enough?
raise the bar![]()
Overall record you stat .
Spurs- 25-18
Grizzlies- 24-19
Overall record is highly misleading. Throw in the Grizz starting the season 1-8.
Aww, hater so sad![]()
2 thread equals twice the fun.
Being better than the Spurs isn't really an accomplishment right now..
They lack consistency because they are a young team but it would be an exaggeration to say they have absolutely 0 bench, considering it was DeMarre Carroll and Sam Young who killed the Spurs in the decisive 2nd quarter 10 days ago.
I think Chris Wallace has done an awesome job. Their bench is filled with guys with potential on the offensive end while being quite good on defense. (Young, Carroll, Thabeet)
Comparing their talents, the Grizzlies are 10x better than the Spurs.
Spurs have a lot more downside.
Jesus, c'mon. So now the Spurs are losing and playing mediocre on purpose?
