Why the cliffjumping? Most of yall figured it was gonna be a 6 game series....the games the grizz most likey would win in a 6 gamer would be 1 and 3.
Now if the Spurs lose game 4....um...yeah
Agree, I think they'll step up...
That's Tim Duncan's birthday........they have to win that one!!
It's tough to believe that a proud team that won 61 games and has won several championships in the past will just fold its tent.
I expect the Spurs to win a close game in which they hold a small lead for most of the night.
But then again, I never thought the Spurs would fold like they did last year against Phoenix.
There comes a point where pride and pedigree become inconsequential in light of the physical realities. I'm afraid that Duncan doesn't have an extra gear to go to and neither does Manu.
i remember my first time dribbling a basketball
Its sad I've lost complete faith in Pop, you have a 7'0 footer on the bench who's shown he can play but yet he gets no playing time. Instead Pop goes with that fat blair and that bum ass ginger who can't shoot for when it matters.
We lost by 3 points to a good team that matches up well with us on their home court. Don't be a pussy and ditch your team. "Fans" like you make me sick. You're pathetic.
Father time and injuries got this team. Duncan is going to be 35 freaking years old on Monday. This game is not made for 35 year olds - he is still a really good player but not even close to what he was in his late 20s.
Manu is playing with one arm. I am certain this series would be wrapped in 4 or 5 games in favor of SA IF Ginobili doesn't get his arm torqued in the last RS game.
This is being said even with Parker playing like crap. I think TP knows they are not good enough anymore and he is just kind of checking out now that the writing is on the wall.
Regardless of the eventual result in the POs, it was a huge accomplishment for this team to win 61 games in the RS given what this roster is - a bunch of guys coming to SA who(outside of Duncan) weren't lottery picks or were not really wanted by other teams. They played well together until some really untimely injuries ruined the flow.
When your team is injured and/or old in too many key spots, you get run by or run over.
I hate to see what is happening right now because I think SA had a chance (with a fully healthy roster) to make a deep run even with the limitations of the roster. Now I don't see that happening.
Funny thing is I could see SA even get down 3-1 and come back to win this series. Memphis has had an inordinate amount of good luck so far. They are fully capable of losing 3 out of 4 if TP gets his head out of his butt.
You might be right. We've become the Dallas Mavericks. What happened to Tony Parker is the real question?
I don't get this. "Believe" should be reserved for an improbable or really difficult run. It should be used when you are in a game 7 in the finals.
You shouldn't have to "Believe" when you are a 1 seed playing an 8 seed who has never won a playoff game.
Hard to believe in the Spurs when the Spurs don't believe in themselves.
This is the weirdest team and season since I've followed the Spurs.
If by folding you mean giving up - I disagree with you. I believe that our guys are really playing hard. Its combination of bad breaks, injuries, bad decisions (coach and players), poor shooting. This things should happen during the regular season, not now. If we loose, then we loose. I think people should give Memphis a little bit of credit. You can't loose a seven game series by having bad luck or all the things I mentioned. You loose a 7 game series because your opponent is better than you.
What many are not considering is that the Spurs have played ty by their standards and still are only losing by a couple of points. All that has to happen is that Tony or someone find their game. Memphis has shown that they hang their heads when the other team goes on a run. The Spurs just could not (or would not) sustain that run.
If the Spurs get off in the next game and go back to SA tied 2-2, suddenly it looks much better for them.
With Duncan, the Spurs have never won a series they started with home-court advantage only to lose two of the first three.
Spurs have not been able to string together 4 or 5 consecutive scoring or defensive possesions. That wont last.
I mean, cereal, have the Spurs scored on more than 2 straight possesions at all this series?
good call
