Hi...The Boston Celtics called. They'd like for you to call back Kevin Garnett.
Agreed, Grizz were just better. Props to them. Playing defense and having good size is not that bad in the playoffs. I hope Pop will learn something but I'm not sure about that. BUT I still love this team and even if we are going to have years of fail we still have four trophies and some great memories.

Memphis is no joke. The Spurs played the toughest team in the 1st round. They would have beaten any other team besides LA and Memphis. This includes Boston, Dallas, OK and any eastern team. LA would have beaten the Spurs but SA would have been ready for LA. Memphis on the other hand was underrated from the start. I just hate for Duncans legacy to end like this.
I wasn't implying that Memphis is no joke. I'm just trying show that 30 something starting frontcourt players have won championships and some are still contending for one as Duncan packs up his bags for summer vacation.
I don't know. I give Memphis a chance to beat Memphis, that Memphis squad is tougher than you think.
Thanks for everything, TD.
despite his hard to watch performances of late...I must give you credit for being the ONLY person to say thank you to Timmy for what he's done for you and your city.
I hear you. However, the Grizzlies were pussies to not have done the right thing and not tanked to begin with. While that decision payed off in the short term, They will regret it in the long term. They were classless by falling down to play the Spurs. A real team does not do this and they lost all respect in my book. Had they played LA in the 1st round they could have easily surprised LA and beaten them. Now, they are a target by beating the Spurs. Spurs took them lightly. Spurs will be alright. I seriously would keep Duncan and all the young crew but trade everyone else and start fresh. Duncan might not be the same player but he is still a top 20 player in the NBA easily. He simply is not capable of being the main guy anymore.
I wonder whatever happened to all the goodie goodie two shoes parading around this forum wearing their Spurs goggles 24/7.
This team wasn't that good and getting the #1 seed only made the heads swell even bigger in the upstairs.
- Nobody gives the Spurs any respect.
- We have the #1 seed and no one picks us.
- The most underrated team in history
- Tim Duncan is going to step it up in the playoffs.
- The Spurs have so much championship experience, the Grizz have none.
- BELIEEEEEEEEEEEVE!!!!!!!!
They had one shot at this series and they pissed it all away in game 1. 4 point lead with 58 seconds to go and they couldn't hold. They absolutely positively had to hold on to home court and they blew it.
Kareem might have a thing or two to say about that as well.
We couldn't risk Manu getting hurt in that meaningless game 1 of the playoffs, though. Can't blame Pop for this one, tough loss but just gotta chalk it up to to bad luck & cir stances.I wonder whatever happened to all the goodie goodie two shoes parading around this forum wearing their Spurs goggles 24/7.

People that claim Spurstalk posters are dumb are......well.....dumb.
Great post Spurstalk members!
The Better team in this series was Memphis.
Had the Spurs not been so unfortunate with Timmy's and Manu's injury, Pop's tinkering with the rotations, and not integrating Tiago into the lineup, this series would have been won by the Spurs in 6.
Sometimes the ball has to bounce ones way and sometimes you have to make incredibly tough shots to be successful. Factor that, with the Spurs lapses, with Memphis scrubs stepping up, and you get what we saw.
Memphis was the better team for the series. Memphis is currently the better team. You're in the minority thinking the Spurs are actually a better team than the Grizz.
If you were a coach and you had to pick between the Spurs or Grizz roster to take you to the Finals, you'd be smart to pick the team that can play defense. That's the better team. That's the team with the best shot to win it all.
It's debatable whether Memphis is the better "team", given Pop's steady decline in decision making that kind of mushroomed in the last week of the regular season & into the playoffs. I'll grant you that if you include Pop as part of "the team" yes the grizz were the better team. If you don't include the coaching aspect and give the spurs a somewhat coherent & intelligent coach then the spurs suddenly look a whole uva lot better IMO.
Hollins was smart to tank, while Popovich played the starters in irrelevant games to get HCA.
Enjoy HCA, pop!
Memphis will be booted by OKC in 5.
Easily.
Pushing around Perkins wil not be a easy for Zandolph.
So that "euro with no post game" is your avatar now?
If I want to win in the postseason i'm taking the team with a skilled 7'1" center, a PF that dominates the low block and an elite wing defender.
I'm not going to sit here and say the Grizz are dynasty bound, i'm simply saying they are currently better than the Spurs. That should be fairly obvious at this point.
I made those comments back in 2009 before I'd ever even seen Splitter play. Really I was more annoyed at the fact that the guy was taking so long to make a decision. As it turns out, he probably should have just stayed in Europe for as much as Pop played him this year.So that "euro with no post game" is your avatar now?
The only obvious thing is Pop is a fool who can't coach his way out of a paper bag.
It wasn't obvious that the Grizz have a better roster for defending opposing teams?
I guess we'll get to see your theory in action when they play against the revamped thunder roster.
What theory?
Out of the Spurs and Grizz, which team is better defensively?
This spurs team had the pieces to match up defensively with the grizz but either pissed them away (Hairston/Mahinmi) or didn't play them (Green/Splitter)
If they were on equal footing defensively, suddenly those gluteus loosen up, guys aren't panicking, and shots start to fall. Popovich put that team in a position to fail defensively time and time again. That's why I refuse to subscribe to your point of view.
Hey, homer. The spurs just got their asses handed to them and you think its up for defeat whether the grizz are better than the spurs?
Hey bro, if you're gonna stick your 2 cents in, you should probably read more than the last couple replies in the thread.
