Honestly, I think we're going to kick their ass in game 4. The Grizz have played to their max potential. They're a very good team and they believe in themselves.
Spurs played like and still had chances to win games 1 & 3. So oddly enough I didn't feel too panicked after the game 3 loss. Spurs have yet to peak this series. But it's all mental. The mental mistakes are giving games away. For as much as Mem has dominated inside, we still had chances to win. Spurs shot 2-15 on 3pt and were dominated inside and only loss by 3.
I'm confident the Spurs will shut those mofos up.
I'm disappointed in the Spurs and feel like venting and saying that they are chumps and will lose etc. etc. But in reality, I think that they'll win tomorrow and win this series in six. I also don't see Tony Parker sucking anymore as of Monday night. Don't ask me why, just a hunch!
Go Spurs Go!
I felt a of alot worse in 08' down 2-0 to the Hornets than I feel now. The Spurs have lost Game 1 and 3 by 3 points each in this series, while, the Hornets just ing beat the out of us in the 1st two games.....
I'm pretty confident in the Spurs ability to win Game 4. I still think they'll win the series as well.
I am exactly middle. I believe the Spurs can play much better and should win, but I don't want to dismiss the very poor play that has now spanned the better part of 2 months. I don't see a drastic change either way.
Close games throughout.
Same.
Unless Parker finds the vial of mojo. This is really is the roughest series in the NBA. We used to thrive on these types of series, just grind the other team down mentally, never quit, always stay close, win in the end. I miss those days. Like to see them return.
Those Spurs were defensive-minded and flawless in clutch situations. This version of the Spurs is offense-first and mentally weak.
I can handle the D part. We dont have the players. Splitter might help but it does not look like we will find out.
As a fan I cant handle the mental part.
I seriously have nightmares about Richard Jefferson dribbling with the game on the line.
If the Spurs find themselves again, they won't lose another game in the series.
If the Spurs find themselves again, there's not anyone in the league that they can't beat.
My confidence that the Spurs will find themselves again this season: zero
to win this game, same contribution from the big 3
rj needs to score at least above 10pts for us to have a chance of winning, dude is playin like
40-60 for the win
How confident am I about a game four win? Not very. Do I still think San Antonio can take this series? Yes, but with a little help. By that I mean that they need Memphis to slip up a little from their current great play. After the way these three games have gone it's hard to have any confidence in this team at all. Memphis seems to have solved the Spurs.
Their heavy-duty front line has made it very tough for Tony to dribble penetrate with any kind of effectiveness and their perimeter defense has been terrific. Almost completely shutting down the best three point shooting team in the league.
Memphis has in short made it incredibly difficult for the Spurs to even score. Let alone build up big leads. Still though if the Big Three can carry the load tomorrow night the Spurs have a shot, not a great shot, but a shot at winning the game.
Horry, finley and oberto ain't walking through that door and this team isn't the defending champs. I've never seen a tim duncan spurs team execute so poorly late in games. It just hasn't been there this year, especially late in the season.
40% win 60% loss for Gm 4.
3% chance of series win with Numb Nutts Pop continuing his ruination of the Spurs.
Would love to see Tim and the vets rise up and overthrow his Bonner/smallballs bull but it aint gonna happen. Tims legacy will sadly include being a passive condoner of Poppy .
Playoff record 2009 to date:
6-12

This has been a series of firsts. Memphis has own their first playoff away and at home. The Spurs have not beaten Memphis at home this year. Tomorrow will be the first time that they do and it will be a first this year. Taking HCA back.
I just can't belive Tony Parker is going to continue playing like such a scrub. If he even shows up the Spurs win this series. Not that I think they have enough to get through OKC, LA, Miami, Boston, or Chicago without Duncan, Ginobili, and two of Jefferson, Hill, Bonner, Neal having huge series, but I think having a normal TP is enough to take Memphis.
IMHO, Manu getting hurt against the Suns (thanks, Pop, you ) threw off the whole team. Spurs have been fighting uphill ever since.
That said, the Spurs will win Game 4 convincingly, and take the series in 6 games.
I think the Spurs win Game 4 in a nailbiter, bt I agree with the rest of your post.
Game 5 will be the blowout game.
Putting Dice into the starting lineup was what started the Spurs on the downward slope, but they haven't been playing at a high level in some time, and then in the last few weeks they've suddenly gotten the yips and can't finish a game. Now everyone's shooting terribly, Manu's hurt, the front line's overmatched and Parker can barely handle the ball.
They've had a chance to win every game so far.
Could be. Then the Spurs will win the series and get swept by OKC.
I'd love that but its doubtful since the Spurs have played about 12-15 mins of good basketball in 3 games.
Other than getting decimated by the Lakers at home, the season took a nosedive when Tim got injured causing us to go on that awful losing streak. We've never really recovered from that execution wise, and Manu getting injured was just icing on the cake.
The losing streak/Tim's injury did not end up hurting them in the standings. It also gave Splitter some much-needed run before the playoffs. The Manu injury at the end of the year was unacceptable though
^ this
Pop ed the Spurs by playing Manu against the Suns. If not for that monumentally ed brainfart by Pop, the Spurs would be, at worst, up 2-1, and probably up 3-0. Now they have to fight for their lives against an 8 seed, and have a very good chance of being eliminated by the Grizzlies.
TBQH, the Spurs have a 50/50 chance at best of winning this series now.
Thanks, Pop...go stick a running chainsaw up your ass.
