Hats of to them, they out played us the entire series, don't really care for the players but congrats to Lionel Hollins, great guy, done great with the young team.
Now they better get to the WCF.
Props to the Grizz for showing poise and resolve throughout and for playing the game hard and aggressively for all of 6 games.
And, if there are any Grizz fans lurking, congrats on seeing your team get through and play another round; from a group of fans who have come to take advancing in the playoffs for granted and have become somewhat indifferent about the significance of winning even one series, I'm sure this is a sweet feeling and I'd encourage you to savor it.
Now they better get to the WCF.
congrats.
Congrats to the Grizzlies. They played with more at ude and more heart.

Grizz earned my respect for sure. What a tough team. Reminded me of the Spurs of old. Well deserved win. The best team won.
Congrats to the Grizzlies, they played a fantastic serie against the Spurs
They are playing the game of basketball the right way.
They have talent, they have some great vets, some great defenders, and fearless young guys... and they have a great superstar : Zach Randolph, he was an absolute beast the entire serie !!!
They played with toughness and intelligence, they shared the ball and they have a great coach.
They remind me the 2005 Spurs... I wish them the same fate.
Really? Man the Grizzs..tanking so they can play the Spurs cuz we had match up problems..wAy to go so u can get out first rd then get butt ed by OK..that's your championship season..fuk Em..
The decline of Duncan is difficult to watch for me. It happens to players if they stick around long enough. Zach Randolph and Gasol dominated him. In the next series we will see how Perkins, Ibaka, and whatever bigs OKC has to offer will contain these guys. Spurs were up 80-79 I went to take a piss and get a beer and the Grizzlies were up by 7. Damn they are simply better.
The Grizz took it to us. Tip of the hat
The Spurs stayed a lot closer than they probably should have by rights. The problem is that at every critical point, the Griz would regroup and turn up the D while the Spurs would Corporate Knowledge another turnover.
That's how I feel. I'm not going to be a good sportsman about this - it hurts too much. I hate the Grizz and I hope they enjoy this 1st Round Championship because I want the Thunder to roll over them just like all those tornados this week!!!!! Screw Memphis and their fans!
God, you ing suck
They a great team, play with a lot of heart. Congratulations Grizzlies.
Yeah congrats suckers. You deserve it. The grizz saw our weakness and exposed us.
Well deserved series win for the Grizzlies.
You hate to see the Spurs battle back to take the lead and then have its leaders give it away in the last 3 or 4 minutes of a close-out game.
Two of my favorite defensive players (and prospective Spurs target players) for years have been Shane Battier and Tony Allen. They both were great additions for Memphis this year and were a huge difference for them in this series.
Oh, and chazley, I told you but you scoffed.
At every critical point, Hollins would call a timeout, and his team would then regroup.
That's sign of a good coach.
Memphis, no wonder their greatest legend died of an overdose
you Zach Randolph, your bull shots with every ing roll won't go down in the next series.
you Marc Gasol, go stick you in your brother's ass
you rookie Vasquez dominating pieces of Parker and Hill
you George Hill, you are a re ed bas .
you Tony Parker, I am so glad that Eva has a chance to take a on your face
you Richard Jefferson. You are the most overpaid player in the league and I hope Gary Neal rapes your mother
you Manu, why can't you show up for 1 game?
you Tim Duncan. I love you more than I hate you but that was the worst performance of you career.
you Dice. You are an overrated piece of . Please ing retire.
They just beat us, plain and simple. Ill give them the credit they deserve. Now that thats over... Not the end of the world, just the end of the season. It hurts but we will be back Im certain. We have alot to do in the offseason now so time to take a break, get healthy, can Bonner (Mr Playoff Fade) and RJ (Mr Spare), trade Blair (Mr Whataburger) and start again.
Credit to the Grizzlies for the way they played.
I shall be supporting them as my team of preference in the West.
But it can never be whole-hearted because they deliberately eased off in the season. That to me shows a lack of class and is gamesmanship which shouldn't be incentivised.
As someone who was first and foremost a football ('soccer') fan I am eternally incredulous that the NBA can have an EIGHTY-TWO game regular league season which ends up meaning so very very little.
In the English Premiership you can go out and win the elite compe ion (Champions League) but the first measurement every time is how you do in the league.
This.

Same here. Memphis is a pretty damn good team. Randolph is a beast. They will have their hands full in the next round though.
