Nah. We have their number after 8.
If the season ended today, Spurs would be matched up against the Grizzlies. I am not an expert on Memphis but they seem to still have a gaping hole at the wing slasher role and I haven't seen a ton of upgrade this season. Therefore, if their fat bigs are not producing on at least an above average clip, they seem to have a difficult time against good teams. Is there any reason for the Spurs to fear these guys if they meet the Grizz in 2014 or will they make pelts out of the teddy grahams again like last season?
Don't you fear the return of energized fat Gasol?
I like the confidence. I was thinking the same thing. Unless we got a lot worse and they got a lot better but I don't see much difference from last year. If anything, we've slightly improved.
They would be a tough out, then again mostly ANYONE in the West is a tough out at this point. I even think Dallas being a rival would be a tough out, the West is stacked from 1-8.
They're weak on the wings... they haven't really improved upon what we saw from them last year
Would you rather face Dallas or Grizz? I'm thinking Grizz as I believe Dallas has more weapons and could put a streak together with those weapons (Dirk, Matrix, Monta).
Dallas is by far our easiest 1st round matchup.
How about the blazers? They're looking pretty awful. It's not beyond possibility that they could end up as a 7 or 8 seed.
You've been trolling them guests pretty hard on their soil.
the rockets should (worst matchup even more so than OKC), but SA is like the only team that owns memphis consistently. Swept their asses in the playoffs last year with little effort.
I'll be over there tomorrow if the Spurs manage to continue their downward spiral tbh.
If Amuseddaysleeper starts making gameday threads again and Duncan injures his ankle, TP sleeps with another teammates wife, Manu's arm is in a cast, and Kawhi has to sit out the series because of his knee tendinitis I would say Spurs in 6
Memphis has pretty much completely fallen off last year. The spurs made a joke out of their defense last year. All the spurs did last year was collapse on gasol and zbo and turn zbo to z-ro and bam, their offense was dead. It probably won't be a sweep this time around (or maybe) but it would probably be 4-1.
It seems every since that 011 debacle the Spurs have made it a mission to try and crush that team everytime they meet.
Are you being facetious?
This. Grizz need another creator. Gasol is a good passer but they sorely lack another penetrator besides Conley
I just checked. Their wing guys are currently: T. Allen (sometimes good on D), Tayshaun Prince (a TOSB) and Courtney Lee (a dude with a chick's name).
I'm seeing a lot of overconfidence here guys. I'm hoping the Spurs go to work on them if they meet and don't just assume they will dominate. That kind of at ude is what leads to higher seed first round exits.
Fear Memphis? Sounds like an oxymoron

The only thing any NBA playoff team should fear in Memphis is...
