Never too late for the real Spurs to finally show up for the first time this postseason.
I hope the Spurs show up, but MEM has earned the benefit of the doubt. They won't crumble. The Spurs have crumbled for the most part. I'm worried about the Spurs having legs. If Hill and Neal can show life and TP and Manu have some juice, then it should be a game, but that remains to be seen.
I really want them to just play hard and smart.
you build up a huge lead, you rest the starters, chucks in the worst rotation possible with 1 trick pony players like bonner, rj, splitter at the same time playing with hill and ginoboli..fck waste a lead and closing out a quarter or momentum killer...when a lead goes to down half, pop should be chuckin in back the starters...fckn u cant to be relentless against this memphis .....
Seriously this wouldve been a sweep for us if pop took care of business and limited rjs and bonners minutes, the longer they stay on the court the longer it hurts us, they are just 1 dimensional players who offer nothing on the court besides making up the numbers to play 5on5 but in reality its more like 2 on 8 ou there....
splitter looked very impressive out there today again...contributing and bailing out lazy plays...thats what his known for...
Memphis has the pressure now of having to win at home. They played loose for the better part of the series because no one expected an 8 seed to beat a 1 seed. But now after they took a commanding 3-1 lead the tables were turned and now everyone is expecting them to end the Spur's season. If the Spurs can somehow build a lead in game 6, those open jumpers memphis has been hitting will start clanking off the rim.
Hopefully, that overtime will inspire Tony to all over scrub-ass Conley.
Definitely good for the Spurs from a mental toughness standpoint....showed they could step up when necesary.
I remember in 2008 when the Hornets destroyed us in NO for 2 games...Tony stepped in with some clutch shooting in Game 7 and the defense rotated better. All we need is 1 road win and the pressure will be the equivalent of what SA faced tonight so it was a good spar....Friday is now the Main Event.
Difference is Tim Duncan was sick for the first two games. The similarity is that the other team didn't realize it, and the Grizzlies don't realize that they have yet to get anything remotely resembling the Spurs' best shot yet in this series. Whether that shot will come is anybody's guess, but there's the potential that the Spurs walk over them for the next two games.
I think Memphis comes down to earth in next series. So happy that Spurs won tonight-they needed it but grizzlies didn't go down w/o a fight. I expect them to close it out on their court (hope I'm wrong). So glad the old dogs went out fighting tonight!
If Spurs can win game 6 - then I think they win the series. Game 6 is going to be tough. You know the Memphis crowd is going to be loud and wild. I just hope we get a good reffing crew and they call the game evenly. I think if the Spurs can build a pretty good lead in game 6, then the Grizz will start feeling the pressure and maybe they'll start making mistakes and missing shots. They've been just too calm this series - I want them to play like a young team and start getting rattled!
if these idiots continue to allow duncan that bank shot, he should continue taking those shots if they fall in...he was on fire in the first quarter building up that lead only for pop to it up resting him too long allowing the grizz 18-7 run to end the 2nd quarter with a 3 pt lead
depends on stern what he wants to do for ratings...get rid of the spurs or advance
game 6 if its properly called, we have a chance of extending it to 7 games,
They haven't responded well, so far..not that surprising, I suppose..
lol 2 points
No they aren't ready, and neither are the refs.
