The Spurs are better this season, I don't think the Grizzlies would win again tbh. There are good chances the Spurs will make it to the finals. But it will be difficult to win the 'ship.
Because you want to have a crutch at loss. Just ing take it. Get mad, yes, rant & rave, cry real ing tears even. I cried like a ing baby in '84. But don't go near the injury, scheduling, referee cards. Make yourself proud, so when it comes for you (like '85 & '10 for me) can cry real tears again. And enter your house justified. Not some ing asshole.

The way I see it everybody else has matchup problems with the Spurs. We have 5 solid bigs, wings are so deep it isnt funny and PG is well manned. Something tells me that a lot of the playoff teams would love to avoid the Spurs until WCF.
This. We present at LEAST as many problems to other teams as they present to us.
No. They shouldn't be going out of their way to avoid anyone; it should be the other way around. The Grizzlies are a quality team, but by the way they're spoken of by Spurs fans, you'd think they'd have knocked the Spurs out of the playoffs three out of four years or something like that. When in actuality, they beat them once, when the Spurs supposed best player was playing with a serious injury and another one of their three best players was playing injured as well. And while it's true that one of the Grizzlies two best players was out, he was out so long that they had plenty of time to learn to play without him and get a rhythm. With the Spurs, it was literally sprung on them just before the playoffs.
I want them. Spurs will have that chip on their shoulder.
vs Lakers: Bynum & Gasol >>> Duncan + whoever
vs Grizzlies: Zo & Gasol >> Duncan + whoever
vs Thunder: Ibaka & Perkins > Duncan + whoever
vs Clippers: Griffin & Jordan = Duncan + whoever
So you know where your issues are
We've all had years like that. As a Spurs fan, this year doesn't feel like one for a change.
Yeah.
If it was this easy it would be over.
Exactly, but with the caveat that the Spurs must play well enough even if calls go the other way. It has to be at a level well enough that others can't match their level of play.
This team is so much different that last season's team. Again...Pop has a swiss army knife of talent and he is using every tool.
But, stealing bricks from a construction site (Jackson & Diaw), bringing them home and building your own garage with them stinks to high heaven.
Try 3 solid bigs.
In Round 1 yes. Round 2, I would happily choose them over Lakers. But Clips in round 2 would be sweet.
your sigI laugh every time
I totally agree. If you are a champion to be, you take on whom ever is in your way. We would've beat Memphis last year, but Pop chose not to play Splitter and Blair. Blair is short, but is big and can push bigs off the block and has a nack for scoring down low.
Blair was also getting beatdown that year.
He has girth and everything but he's probably too short to be going against the premier starting bigs in the league imo.
Tiago was effective but I thought he didn't really have much chemistry with anybody besides Manu.
From which GIF specifically?your sig
i want them as bad as the next person, there fkn fans are delusional that last season was no fluke for them...give me a fkn break
Maybe we should but I feel like the Spurs need to face them again to get over the hump from last year.
It was pretty enbarrassing imo. Memphis played great against us and they showed it against the Thunder as well but I guess I'm more ticked about the fact they tanked so obviously and purposefully to draw the Spurs.
They showed no respect whatsoever. That is why I would want to face them again.
Those fools need to avoid us.
I'm as interested in revenge as the next person but let's not face that frontline if we can help it. They didn't beat us by accident last year and we're still thin up front.
I agree with the above in that a lot of other front courts are better on paper than the what the Spurs have to offer. However I believe that you are underestimating one important element - Coach Pop.
Mike Brown, Vinny Del Negro, Lionel Hollins, Kevin McHale and Scott Brooks are all going to wet their pants if they face the Spurs in the playoffs.
Did Lionel change his diapers from last year yet?
Don't because Jim & Mitch didn't have the RIGHT KIND of CONNECTIONS to bring quality players to LALA. What really stinks is your team's BENCH. REALITY!
