No. I don't care. Just win.
this series with the Grizzlies is not super lopsided? It seems that contrary to our hopes, both OKC and Warriors will have a cakewalk. Spurs have to make this quick and get plenty of rest cause Durant and Westbrook will require Kawhi and company to be as fresh as they can be.
No. I don't care. Just win.
no
I want a sweep so we get rest. Couldn't careless about the margin of victory though. Just win and stay healthy.
I don't care about the scoring differential. I just care about taking them out in 5 or less. If we win 4 games by a combined 10 points but sweep them, I'm fine with that.
After 2015s Championship start ended, no.
But yes will be disappointed if Memph takes it to 6 or (gasp) 7.
Beverly provides hope but the other their two main s, sheesh what another cakewalk gift for the Warriors.
Win in 4 games and outscore them by 4 in the series and it is still a sweep...we still advance...and we still get a little rest.
Ideally, we win in 4, with our margin of victory increases with each game. Also, our efficiency on both ends improves as the series progresses.
This. If the Spurs lose a game or two, I'd prefer it happen here than in a meaningful series
Win in 4, no injuries and Danny comes back. Spurs are not gonna this series up there's nothing to worry about. Highly doubt it will go to 5. Memphis barely have any players left.
This is the correct answer.
I expect a sweep. The first two games should be by 15+. We only lost one game during the regular season, and although most of the team played, it was really a meaningless game against the Warriors. I want to see the REAL Spurs play. No excuses, no secrets, no holding back...this is the PLAYOFFS!

No and I don't see how anyone could think otherwise. In our last championship we were taken to a Game 7 by the Mavs who in their last regular season game that year was in a battle specifically to AVOID playing us in the first round. This was a Dallas team that we had OWNED for YEARS at that point. We won the elimination game and went on to make history. Point is...ANYTHING can happen in the playoffs and all you need to do is get the WIN!
I want to see that the Spurs are playing their best ball at the end of the season. Any more than 5 games means they aren't doing that. A sweep gives time for rest, and more practices.
I'd like it to go 6.
I think it will really help the 2nd and 3rd squads to get more playoff experience.
I don't think the Spurs have been playing very well. This could look a lot like round 1 against the Mavs in 2014. I hope they flip the switch earlier rather than later, but there's not telling. Patty and Danny have to shoot well, and even if they're hot for a game or two, it's no guarantee that they won't suddenly go cold again.
BTW, I feel like a Boston sports fan saying that Patty and Danny are the key to the series.
we will probably lose the first game tbh
Exactly. With how bad this current Memphis team is, a close series would mean that SA either a) didn't execute well at all and played sloppy, and/or b) got completely out-hustled by Memphis and didn't match their intensity. So yeah, I would be a little disappointed. Obviously a win is a win, but I don't think people realize how weak this current Memphis team is. They lost 14 of their last 17 games. They would struggle to win 20 games over the course of an 82-game season. There's really no reason whatsoever this should be a close series.
Quite frankly, yes...if this thing goes beyond 4 games (with home blowouts), it would mean Spurs aren't ready for the playoffs, and by extension turning their series vs Thunder into a toss up affair..
Just win the series, stay healthy, and rest up for the Thunder.
Can't wait for the meltdown when Grizzlies steal Game 1.
Very disappointed if the series won't end in a sweep, I can't imagine a scenario where the Grizz win one game...
The Spurs have a significant advantage in the paint, I expect Pop exploiting it with our 4 bigs the whole game...there is no need to play Kawhi many minutes in this round...and it would be nice to see Danny/Patty starting to make their 3's again.
Would be nice to win in 5 or less tbh for Thunder rest
I can't imagine that happening, Memphis has no one even close to Monta Ellis. None of these games should be compe ive, and if they are, it's saying bad things about the Spurs.
Yeah, I would, no question. The Spurs need to come out and take care of business.
