"Grizzlies in 7"...
It sounds really dumb but I think it is.
1. The way the schedule works out, this is San Antonio's best chance to win another road game. From here on our, there's no more than a day off between games. No matter how much we wish it weren't true, these Spurs are very prone to fatigue and/or injuries. Game 4 stands out as the golden opportunity to get this series over with.
2. If the Grizzlies win, history will probably be creeping into both teams' minds. The Spurs will think about what happened last year following their 2-0 WCF lead. The Grizzlies will think about their comeback series wins against the Clippers and Thunder in these playoffs.
3. The Grizzlies are most susceptible right now due to the fact they are behind the Spurs in terms of figuring out a gameplan. The Spurs know what they have to do gameplan-wise and need very few adjustments going forward. The Grizzlies, by comparison, are a mess. They will likely try an altered rotation in Game 4 -- which may or may not work as they hope.
4. Common sense says the Grizzlies' style of play will become more effective as the series progresses. They'll be able to "grit and grind" more as San Antonio's energy wanes. By a hypothetical Game 6 or 7, fatigue from dealing with the Grizzlies (in addition to the lack of rest) could be just as much of a concern as what Memphis does on the court.
Gotta get this one.

"Grizzlies in 7"...
hahahaaha. Classic.
Seriously, that previous thread by timvp was very stupid.
Epiphanic.
The first sentence is correct. Really dumb. But if would be nice to win and have the time off.
Do we really want to sweep?
good one.
But timvp just had house broken into.
With small offspring in house.
Slack cuttage in total.
Eliminating WCF opponent on the road, excellent cred.
It's a must win for much needed rest for the finals, but not a must win to win this series.
If this thread was serious, it'd be taking paranoia to a whole 'nother level
You are right...it does sound stupid.
History says Spurs have a great chance to close it out tonight.
Hopefully they come out with appropriate fear
What kind of thread is this? Without our starters we can not win. No one in the playoffs is dumb enough to give a game to a physical team like Memphis.
If we want to sweep this is a "MUST WIN!"
