Perhaps we didn't suck as bad as I thought. I'm impressed with what they are doing to the Thunder.
You gotta take your hat off to Duncan and Dyss.They played better defenese on their front court then the younger more atheletic OKC are so far in game 1.We would've beaten OKC.Too bad Manu got hurt.If grizz win today they will win the series

Makes me feel a little better. They're making the Thunder interior look just as turrible as ours, and they don't have Bonner to blame for that one.
Our defense overall looks a lot better then OKCs in these series and Duncan and Dice defended Zbo and Gasol better then Perkins and Ibaka in this game 1.
Memphis were balling ever since the All Star Break. Randolph with another ing 3 wtf.
What are you thinking?
Perkins?
against Gasol? come on.
Ibaka and perkins are .
All of a sudden we dont look as bad as we thought. Memphis is looking like a team going to the finals. They have wing defenders galore and two inside presences a classic formula to get to the finals.
There is no way that OKC's front line can compete with Memphis's front line. They would get pwned every time.
I wonder what that knucklehead Mike Taylor will have to say since he insisted OkC would destroy Memphis.
Talk about the Cowboys?
I'm feeling like a knucklehead myself. I'm stuck on Memphis being Memphis...hard to believe they turned their franchise around. Oh well. It doesn't change the fact that San Antonio needs to upgrade our front line. I wish like that Dice would come back in some capacity.
If Tim's suckage was due to his ankle then maybe he'll finish his career next year. If not, I'm ok with him retiring and us getting the cap space. It's got to start some time. It would have been nice to see him get some interior help. Splitter still has a lot to learn about toughness and rebounding at the NBA level. He's got great footwork and passing skills though.
I was listening to that clown Taylor when I was on business in the SA area a couple of weeks ago.
He dressed as a woman for some Ticket 760 promotion. He is a clown trying to be funny. He often fails.
I hate the thought of a rebuild job after being instant contenders for every year Duncan has been here. It's just weird. However, the bad knees have robbed Timmy of his quickness around the basket. It's painfully obvious now.
I assume the FO will try to give it one more go next year if everyone comes back (aside from Antonio M.) I don't see the outcome being alot different from this year given the age of two of our top three players.
Manu, Tim, and Tony deserve the chance for a last roundup in 2011-12 if they chose. The rebuilding would be delayed a year.
The 2012-13 Spurs could be very different. I want to get to a home game early next year in SA just so I can see our big three one last time. The end for that group is not far away, I'm sad to say.
just one game....im pretty sure thunder will come back and win the next game.....
What ing series were you guys watching? Duncan played great defense, but he can't defend an entire team by himself, and it's not really his fault that he didn't get enough minutes. The Grizzlies are big and strong and athletic at almost every position. If you want to play defense, and you do, Duncan's still a perfect guy to build around for several more years.
grizzlies are not going to the finals. they are just taking down all laker opposition as instructed. then they will lay down and let the lakers rape them when they meet in the WCF. i'm only semi kidding too. if the grizzlies take out the thunder and meet the lakers in the WCF, they will let the lakers sweep them. that's why they are the lakers' farm team.
lmao... Gasol brothers taking turns helping each other out
The Lakers don't exactly have an easy matchup. They'll have to play a lot better than they did against the ty Hornets to beat Dallas. The Grizzlies do the things the Lakers want to do, but they do it better from every position and are way deeper.
That said, it would be interesting to see Marc play poorly in the conference finals only to sign with the Lakers in the offseason...
In all seriousness, Marc Gasol looks like the real deal. Can't really about that trade anymore, even though nobody would have in guessed that at the time.
If Gasol turns out to be a hall of famer, you can say that the Grizzlies got lucky, but there's no way to justify the one-sidedness of that trade.
It's one game no need to get all excited.
It's already been justified by the fact that the Spurs have gone fishin. Just sayin.
we had no chance with our wack-ass big rotation. that's seriously one of the worst we've ever had going against the beastie boys of memphis.
oh and lol popovich ing about the gasol trade....worry about your own roster......
