Someone Convince Me The Grizzlies Shouldn't Be The Overwhelming Favorite in the WCF

[milkyway21]

he was just bluffing

I didn't believe it then that he had doubts. Maybe just scared of our old & injury-prone team

just keep healthy Spurs

[therealtruth]

No one else thought it could be a Spurs sweep with the Grizzlies lack of perimeter offense? We used the same strategy against the Lakers and it resulted in a sweep.

Tim swept both Gasol brothers in the same playoff

[drpill]

This is the wrongest timvp's been since the time he tried to convince me that ATLiens was a better album than Aquemini.*

* - may or may not have actually happened.

I had Spurs in 5 for the record.Parker put that scrub Conley in his place unlike 2011.
Zbo 2011 was 1 hit wonder.
Timvp lol

[Yuixafun]

I think Parker goes berserk this series.

He knows out of the Big three he has the most life left.

He's not that stumbling kid who got pulled for Claxton, or collapsed against packed the paint defenses.. or the Eva's playboy, or the club fighter/promoter.

He's mature, full grown, he remembers what it is to be a champion, and his spirit has a burning desire to feel it once again. I just have this notion that Parker is hungering for redemption and validation, to prove himself at this season in his manhood. But not just for himself.

For Pop, for Teemy, for Manu... for San Antonio, for the next generation spurs that will be his to lead, for France lol...

Sensational series for TP!

[Manufan909]

timvp playing the pessimist role in the playoffs for the first time in his life is paying off. LOL Usually he "believes" when no one else does.

He better predict the Spurs get steamrolled in The Finals.

This.

[Sean Cagney]

Sweep, and yup I predicted it..

COT DAMN YOU DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ATLIENS is better! I agree with him!


The thing is though Mobb Deeps the INFAMOUS is better than both of those there

Imagine if in the new Star Trek movie Captain Kirk decides to join forces with Sherlock Holmes. That's what it felt like!

[Horry Hipcheck]

It's amazing how much people overrated the Grizzlies, for beating a OKC team without their all star PG..

To be fair to Memphis, they did a stellar job imposing their will against OKC, who just could not find a rhythm without Westbrook. It made them look good, but they also got to play their game. The Spurs slammed that door shut on them.

[mosdef17]

Cool thread, bro.

I'm so happy timvp was wrong.

Grizzlies were garbage and one of the worst teams to see the WCF in some time

You should start this one. "Someone Convince Me The Heat Shouldn't Be The Overwhelming Favorite in the Finals"

Could they be more wrong? No, Timmy and Tony are the two best players in this series. I knew that even before WCF was played. Everybody is high on Gasol, but if Timmy was having a 14.1ppg/7.8rpg/1.7blkpg season, they would say Timmy should have retired. After this series, I become to like Gasol more as he is such a hard worker and a classy player. But he is not better than Timmy even at this age.

Granted, picking ZBo and Gasol might be a popular choice given they played well against Clippers and Thunder. But picking Conley over Tony? On the other hand, while boasting one of the best starting lineups in NBA when healthy, that Manu-led benches are not as reliable as before is one of the biggest question marks for this Spurs team. Yet, they got everything totally the opposite way.

I don't know whether it's because they genuinely believe in what they said (which doesn't bode well about their knowledge), or because they were former Spurs so not to be favoring Spurs (which raises questions about their objectivity). Still, picking Grizzlies to win is fine. But their analyses are totally out of sorts.

Can timvp's anti-jinx powers overcome Skip Baseless' Kiss of Death?

[TJastal]

Sweep, and yup I predicted it..

Nice call, SA210!

Bayless is such an asshat. I bet him and Stephen A. Smith give each other knobbers during commercial breaks.
