Parker wasn't the same after the no call blow to the head.
Spurs got raped on the perimeter despite that. Take Mayo out for Allen and you lose offensive production.

Smart man. I can tell you based off this statement that this poster has watched playoff basketball before. Some of you other people, I'm not so sure about...splitter
spurs aren't getting past the lakers and grizzlies without his help.

They don't have a prayer of beating whoever comes out of the East (Miami, Chicago, maybe Boston) without him either.splitter

Does this win really inspire? Sure, Spurs won, but in typical ST fashion over confidence abound. The issues that plague the Spurs in bad match ups (LA/MEM) were still on display namely the big man rotation and TP shriveling vs big frontlines and not being the on court advantage that he is on paper.
Yes a win is good, but there are legit issues.
Have to disagree that the Grizz are more talented this year. Maybe they are offensively, but not having Tony Allen and Battier takes away alot of their toughness defensively.Duncan and Ginobili
-Ginobili was pretty consistent through-out the game. Came out really aggressive on the boards and ended aggresive on the boards. He devstated Memphis in the 2nd half and contributed to closing out this game.
-Duncan was a little slow out of the gates but had another one of his monster 3rd quarters.
Bonner got 3 great looks and took 1 rushed shot in the 1st. When he's off like this, I think we should go a different direction However, like last night against the lakers, Bonner and Splitter were more effective than Duncan and Blair in the 1st half. And Bonner redeemed himself in the 2nd half.
Splitter's defense on Randolph was spectacular to watch. Not much of a surprise though, his defensive performance was an encore from opening night. However, unlike opening night where he played 32 minutes, he only played 13 tonight.
I think this Grizzles team is more talented than last years team (with Gay healthly). We'll have to see if that translates to results though... cause Gay and Randolph, while talented, are both high volume shooters. I haven't seen any Grizzles games except for the ones against the Spurs but they're statistically on fire.
-8-2 in their last 10 games (including wins over the Heat, Thunder, Mavericks, Clippers, Suns, Lakers)
- 8th in defensive effiency and rebounding effciency.
Still a pretty formidable team to go up against.
Would also like to add this was a night where Pop played with the playoff rotation.
How the does Leonard play so damn well and then not play in the fourth? I mean wtf?
Why can't anybody tell me how many minutes Splitter got?
This must be a touchy issue, tbh...
The issue was last night IMO. They played flat out scared.
I thought they played well tonight despite some struggles. Moved the ball, played our game. Memphis is a good team. Not as good as last season, but still a playoff team. It was a solid win.
DD always finding a way to on the Spurs...can we have this at least without you going ultra hateful on us man? Just this once?How many minutes did Splitter get?
Although you may be right after all.
13 mins, tbh
no doubt hopefully the next two v la will c how the spurs adjust and hopefully the spurs get a w or two.I have never said the spurs r favorites but im not as scared of mem as i am la
Sure it's a good win. It didn't erase last night and even though they won, it's about sustainability
We won't make it out of the 2nd round if Pop uses tonight rotation. Splitter needs more than 13 minutes.
Agreed. Things can change, I was simply saying the last two nights were way more alarming than good.
This team isn't going anywhere anyways with these rotations. "going forward" is really nitpicking, IMO
We'd beat Chicago. We'd beat Boston. We'd have a chance against at Miami.
It's not hate, Shadow...DPG (and to a certain extent timvp) are saying the same things. A win is a win, but rewind the clock 2 days ago and what was your opinion of the Spurs?
What is it now? Playoff basketball slows to a crawl, and shots tend not to fall. That's when you really on your defense, bigs to take high-% shots, and crash the boards
Allen is still there though. Would you say that Battier is more talented than Gay?
Battier, Arthur, Vasques (sp?) were definitely a good fit, but none of them have the talent that Gay has.
The Spurs layed an egg tonight shooting the ball (30% on 3s tonight). Allen would not have limited that many more shots. They also don't force-feed the bigs with Gay around.
