Memphis to tank to get the Spurs

[justinandimcool]

So Dallas has this won. Now I'm rooting for Memphis' scrubs to win and match us up with New Orleans, not that I'm scared of the Grizzlies but it would be nice.

A Kings win would match LA up with Portland, so let's hope that happens so LA wont get a 1st round bye.

Stop dreaming, they won't even try...

The only thing we have to root for is a Kings win... (to screw the lakers AND because it's kinda sad for those fans,they deserve this last home win)

ps/ NJ-CHI close game doesn't even make me hope, chicago will end up with the W...

[mytespurs]

don't get your hopes up for a laker loss-they have to win to maintain that #2 & they're coming off a losing streak so I can't see them winning last night then losing tonight. Kobe, Gasol & Odom should be enough for a win for them-it may not be pretty but I can't see them losing.

Hope the Spurs win tonight-otherwise they're going into the playoffs on a 2 game losing streak!

Memphis not even trying to make it look good against the Clippers. They should change their name to the Memhpis Catfish they are so deep in the bottom of the tank.

This is just sad, everyone getting owned lol

[John Basedow]

lol @ being scared of the Bear.

I cant believe of how many people are scared of the ing grizzlies sack the up spurfan

I guess wee will agree to disagree. Without Gay, Memphis aren't a better team than The West-less Hornets.

I find that most of the posters overrate Grizzlies and Thunder and underrate teams like Hornets and Mavs.

no oh my god the gizzlies are gonna beat us their twin towers are too much, man those hornets r dangerous watch out for cp3

fck them both spurs got this 1st round on lock

"much more", no.

A Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol frontcourt isn't that physical.

DD, send those downstairs bro.

Memphis has given SAS fits this year. They split the season series and I think both SA wins were in overtime (might be wrong there). The West-less Hornets are a sweep. If the stars align correctly they might force a 5th game. Trust me, everyone wants NOH...weakest team in the WC playoffs by far

what a dumbass

[IronMaxipad]

If anyone is tanking to face the Spurs, they are idiots. Our 3rd string, putrid end of the bench of 15 roster, just took the fakeshow into a tie game with 6 to go and all their starters on the floor except Mr. Weakknees Bynum because his little glass ACL can't hold again. Good luck against the nets, fakeshow. You're exposed.

See guys regular season matters.

[clambake]

you guys need to get back in here.

it ain't over.

Holy crap. Again, it's not about being scared of the Grizzlies. I don't think anyone sees the Spurs losing to the Grizz. What people care about is how LA will have a cake walk to the WCF because even if LA would sweep both Mem and NO, at least Mem will bang them up.

Why people aren't grasping this is beyond me. Spurs won't lose to Mem, but they are more physical than NO and LA getting the easiest first round opponent, and quite possibly the easiest second round Opp (DAL) is very bad

This is almost as funny as the time you said "Parker > Rose"

What did Sean Elliott say the other night? Be careful what you wish for Memphis?

Memphis would bring a much more physical game than New Orleans. Memphis really looks motivated and have good team chemistry. They could drain alot from the Spurs with their physical frontcourt and tough perimeter defenders.

Spurs would win in 5 or 6 grueling games

I would be concerned, as opposed to "scared", with the strong defensive intensity of the Memphis Grizzlies. They pressure the ball, they hustle, they steal the ball, they're big along the front line. Tony Allen is their X-factor. He's the reason the Rudy Gay injury means very little right now..

The Grizz can beat the Spurs. It would be a very tough series.

let's not forget the extra things that Shane Battier brings to the Grizzlies, also. They are physical and they have the ability to neutralize everyone except Parker when he's in transition.

I'm really pissed off at how this bracket is turning out. Could it be any worse for Spurs?
