Again, no one is scared of the Grizz with regards to them beating the Spurs. There is nothing wrong with using logic and your eyes and hoping that LA plays tougher teams than SA. That doesn't mean SA is scared or that they can't get to the WCF, but there is absolutely no doubt that NO/DAL is way easier for LA both physically and talent wise than MEM/OKC.
This concept is not a difficult one to grasp.
I don't think you can compare them.
First Gay is neither a high volume (under 20 ppg) nor a low percentage (47%, 39% 3pt) shooter.
Second, if you look at on/off court statistics Memphis is better with Gay (net pts per 100 possesion +1) while Denver is better without Melo (-1.6).
As well as Zach Randolph.
We struggle against teams with two bigs. Lots of close games with the T'wolves this year because of the Love/Darko combo, and Gasol/Zach proved to be a tough matchup the last 4th Q we played against them. Having said that, this is the playoffs. IF we get a healthy Manu, our bench will show up at least at home, and we'll be alright.
Not really. I think Duncan's going to go off in this series. And I don't recall Gasol giving us many problems.
We haven't had Timmy playing 35 minutes a game yet. He is our anchor and things will be different with him in the game so long. Killer mode Duncan is coming. Pop hasn't saved his legs for nothing.
The Spurs defense energy and tenacity will increase, Memphis will struggle to hit jumpshots.
Spurs in 5/6.
I can't believe how many people can't understand that it has nothing to do with being afraid of the Grizzlies. It has to do with us going through two dogfights while LA gets to breeze through to the WCF. Fatigue does factor in believe it or not.very much true. Can't believe how many people on here are afraid of this team.
There's no such as an overrated team by this time of the season.
MEMPHIS! We're talking about MEMPHIS. Seriously, why would the Spurs have any problems getting past this team. Yeah they played us well the last two games of the years but those two games were without Parker. Without Parker they were able to press our ball handlers and give us some difficulty but with Parker now in we should get many easy attempts at the basket. Spurs in 5
I opened this thread expecting it to be about the Spurs being over-rated.
I see this as a dichotomas series - If Spurs play hard and smart it could be a sweep byt the Spurs or at worst 4-1.
However, if Spurs or Pop (just as likely these days) screw this up it could easily go to game 7 and hopefully Manu is available by then or otherwise we might some some genius coach throw some crazy rotation in there and screw it up again.
Welsher.
What we talkin' bout? We talkin' bout MEMPHIS, man. Not the game.
The Spurs would have to catch fire from the 3 to have any hope of 4-0 or 4-1 I think.
Spurs will beat the Grizz unless Ginobli is out for good. Then all bets are off.
But the Grizz will beat you up in the paint for 48 minutes. It won't be pretty. It will be a tough physical series.
The key is keeping Duncan from getting to banged up.
The le of this thread is misleading. There is no way in Memphis is the most overrated team in history... Get a clue. The Spurs are a bit overrated as well and if you think the Spurs will sleepwalk through to WCSF's, your in for a rude awakening.
I am not talking about those individuals... and LA will not breeze through to the WCF. They will lose games. There are others claiming that they are not confident in beating this Memphis team.
I think he meant overrated by Spurstalk standards
AH yes, that would make more sense.I think he meant overrated by Spurstalk standards
Overrated? Accuscore begs to differ.
According to Accuscore, NOH have a better chance in the first round than Memphis.
Right.
Also, I would not be shocked if New Orleans takes L.A. to six games. They have Paul who will annihilate the Fisher matchup, and have a very good wing defender in Ariza. Emeka is also a very good defensive center.
And yes, I was referring to the Memphis Grizzlies as the most overrated team in history on Spurstalk.
Well you're wrong.
Thanks for that in-depth rebuttal Einstein.
To be fair to DMC, it is hard to take you seriously:

Welsher.
yeah, they are overrated. Its the Playoffs and Tim will be playing full minutes with a "take no prisoners" at ude. He and Tony will get 1 or both Zac and Marc in foul trouble early. How big is that bench?
Yeah...why did you not make good on your bet?
