At least when Lebron quits, he gets a triple double.
This is the most frustrating aspect of the game. To just see this veteran squad completely fold and absolutely give up. Give credit to Memphis, but how can a team that is allegedly going to compete for a le give up when you're in facing that kind of a hole?
I'm especially pissed at George Hill after he called out fake fans. Its one thing to play bad. I can't fault players who give it their all and just come up short.
Its a whole different situation to quit. Spurs fans have every right to be pissed after they quit.
Quit is probably the worst word in sports. And now it can be associated with the 2010-11 Spurs.

Manny, as an aside, why do my posts make you mad?
This team has always had a tendency to quit since Tim Duncan joined the team...just usually not in this big of a game. They always played that one ass game every series...but it was usually the game where they just didnt bring the energy. Not in a game where they absolutely needed to play their hardest. This game was humiliating.
Scrah I will Fedex you some benzodiazepines...first shipment is free of charge
I'm not even gonna bother watching game 5. I bet Duncan, Parker and Ginobili won't even suit up.
They mailed in the first 5 min of the 3rd and allowed Memphis to take control of the game. Very disappointing.
That's what Pop gets for attempting to build a contender on a top offense.
And its different for a guy like Lebron to quit. He's not a champion, for one. He's not a veteran of the same caliber as this team. The only fire shown tonight was by AD when he threw his mouthpiece.
Never thought they would just pack it in like that. Maybe its harder to get that fire after the fourth ring but if you don't have the fire then just pack it up and go home. If you're going to put that uniform on then play your heart out.
Every time we made a run, coach went to the bench... lol depth
You basically were felating the Griz at points in the game blog and even if it may be the truth it puts me on tilt. You're one of my favorite posters now because you're so even handed but at times in the game blog if you were near me I might punch you.
So sickening that we went from role players like Bowen, Horry, Barry, Finley, Kerr, Elliott, Jackson, Oberto to some soft pussies like RJ, Hill, Bonner, Blair.
It'll be funny if there is a lockout next year. Enjoy the rest Spurs. Rest Up. Get that rest in. Limit those reg. season minutes, but rest up. Take a load off. Gotta play smart and rest up.
Lebron is the best player in the NBA. He couldn't be a champion in CLE, neither would Tim.
I don't think Lebron quit. You can't quit and get a triple double
But, ya, it's shocking. I know it's so fresh, but I really can't remember the chips right now. All I remember is this.
It's not about fire IMO. It's about talent and legs and heart. RJ doesn't deserve to ever ring and that's what it's about.
Spurs.
Quit.
Doesn't seem real to me. Never seen them quit before. Makes me question things that should be set in stone by now.
The players need to take a hard look at themselves and ask if they really want to be remembered this way.
The thing is, I find myself enjoying the games more when I don't analyze it so much, but I can't help it because I love talking about it.
I am not negative at all. I yell and scream at the tv in a good way, but on here, when I'm talking about it, I just call it as I see it.
Ya, this sucks, but it's not over officially yet.
Parker only member of the big three to break 30 minutes. Pretty genius of pop to save them for their next three elimination games.
When a team quits its about fire. The Spurs don't have any less talent than Memphis, but they might be a worse team simply because the Grizz are more hungry.
I felt like a time machine had taken me back to May 2001.
No Spurs game has been more depressing to me since Game 3 of the 2001 West Finals.
None.
I'll be fascinated to see what we get from the Spurs on Wednesday night -- do they want to go back to Memphis, or do they want to save themselves the flight and get it over with here?
Its not that your negative. Its that your posts come across to me in this monotone voice where you're saying "WOW - the grizlies are good - WOW". Just makes me want to punch you.
I think for game 5 I'll put a"DPG" paper taped to a pillow.
I agree, however if Parker's renewed shooting touch and a good lift from Splitter aren't enough to stem the tide, then things look pretty grim. I hope they make it interesting...all they gotta do is win Game 6. Game 5 is a given.
