Spurs will either finish the sweep in a tight Game 4 or rain fire down from the rafters of the AT&T Center in Game 5.

Spurs in five I said.

It's not like Spurs have been awfully dominant in this series. 2 games went to OT.

And it's too soon to laugh. One day, a team will come back from a 0-3 deficit to win a series.

well done sir

I will look more into systemic things than individual things-

1) The Spurs' offense picked up in the 5th and 6th games. The ball movement was smooth, they were doing well in the P&Rs, the roll man was doing fine (Splitter, Duncan), the three point shooters were getting good shots off and Parker was mixing it up well despite his injury. The Spurs were thus looking more and more like the early-mid season team that was dominating on offense.

2) The Spurs' defense has been relentless in the last 4 games of the Warriors - tackling their outside perimeter game very well. Their interior defense has been good all along and should hold up against Randolph-Gasol even if the latter will get going relatively.

3) The Grizzlies' defense is fantastic and will work well against the Spurs and make them pay. But I think the Spurs' improving offense will hold on. On the other hand, the Grizzlies' offense is limited to interior play and Splitter recovering well from the ankle injury and a motivated Duncan should be enough while the Grizzlies' lack of a high voltage perimeter play or three point shooting should be their bane.

All said and done, the fact that the Spurs have improved defensively and are improving offensively, make it that they are the better team talent wise against the Grizzlies. They still lack their full flow systemically but they are getting there and that should help them overcome the Grizzlies hump in my opinion.

Self pat in the back...

Grizzlies know exactly who they are. Spurs still seem to waver back and forth.

I think a lot of Spurs fan do not appreciate the defense of the Grizzlies - kind of ironic.

I look forward to a good old-fashioned tough, physical series full of big guys playing dominant roles. I am not so sure that Splitter is ready for this and rather sure that Pop will turn to Bonner.

Ploto with her usual anti-Spurs epic fail.

And where's so-called Spurs fan rascal?

well done sir

cheguevara, I hope you aren't starting a new thread why Memphis might make a backdoor sweep this year!

Probably...but it won't be this one. The Grizz are just too awful on offense to win four straight.

Yep, I'm quite confident Spurs will be able to finish it in 4 or 5 games. It's just the mandatory "it's not over til it's over" talk.

The spurs out scored them second quarter through OT 91-64.

They've won 11 of 13 quarters. Domination.

San Antônio Spurs against Miami Heat in the 2012-2013 finals, after half of some internet forum called spurstalk.com users committed suicide.

FIFY, Game 2 was OT also

Are you kidding me Timvp? They have 1 great player in Randolph, and their are times where he gets benched at the end of games because of disputes with his coach. Were not going to lose to Jared Bayless, Tayshaun Prince, and Quincy Pondexter either. We have the much better team. I shouldn't even have to go through the match ups. Seriously, this is not two years ago. We didn't have Leonard or Green, and Splitter never played. That's 3 starters. Were much better. I think everyone is overrating Memphis right now. Remember. Were not the most talented team, but were still TWICE as talented as Memphis.

Posted this a week ago. And in a few other threads I said we'd win in 4 or 5 games.
