Memphis v. San Antonio sponsored by 8

[TheSkeptic]

Seriously. This coach is going to be the cause of another early exit.

If the Spurs go with this scheme for the playoffs, might as well lose from here on out. We need twin towers to compete.

Spurs are coasting, they are content with 2nd seed

Terrible take, tbh. The alleged "mismatches" combined for a measly 13 points... Parker pretty much single-handedly offset that.

Bonner going 0-4 and Blair 1-3 and burning 18 mins is where the problem is.

Someone needs to throw a shoe at Pop during the press conference

Spurs are getting beat up on the boards again, although not nearly as bad as yesterday.

Z-bo still is a horrible mismatch for San Antonio (even though he hasn't taken many shots)--they had to switch Timmy on him for a couple plays after he immediately bodied Diaw

TOSB will get worn out if he has to cover Z-Bo. Grizz are just a nightmare matchup for them too, like a certain someone said.

Z-Bo's potency against the Spurs is highly overrated. One good playoff series last year and suddenly everyone thinks he's the second coming of what I don't know and can and will dominate the Spurs on a whim. Big Snacks also had a great series against the Spurs in '05. It happens.

I'm happy thus far how the Spurs have matched up the Grizzlies inside. Leonard and Manu need to get their head out of their asses.

at least they are trying tonight.

You've been truly dumb since last night. Before that, I thought you were just trolling. Now that you've seen actual evidence (for another year), you continue to piss into the wind

[benefactor]

Diaw with the start.

[midnightpulp]

And it would be expected the Spurs would be losing the rebounding battle since they are shooting 9% percent worse than the Grizzlies. My main concern is not getting killed on the offensive glass, and the Spurs are only -1 in that category.

This isn't last season Spurs nor Grizzlies team

DD wrong bout them Grizz

You do overrate Memphis's interior somewhat. They're not so much of a horrible matchup for the Spurs provided Duncan/Spitter/Diaw get most of the frontline minutes. Bonner and Blair shouldn't see the floor against them.

The Spurs just weren't trying last night!

[Muser]

Nobodies said that.

[ElNono]

I called the Spurs fool's gold last season and non-contenders this season too

pissing into the wind

[Muser]

Duncan bringing the goods tonight.

[benefactor]

Good aggression from Leonard.

Your PG is your best player...we know how that works out

Sure... did I ever said Spurs were gonna win ?

But we know they will

[InTheCrust]

Timmy straight bashing s skulls in.

Offensive board and a score? Duncan is in '05 mode right now.

[Muser]

Duncan dominating the Griz.

Trolling?

After all these years, it's still the TOSB. 15 and 10 and still being a defensive anchor > 20 and 7 assists from your PG, whose defense has been atrocious this year.

And yes, a past his prime Duncan still being the Spurs' best player is a weakness of theirs.

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

No, but you think a team counting on scrubs and rookies to hit 3-pointers can beat Memphis in a series
