Grizz in 5
We have to make sure Prince and Allen become jump-shooters in this series
Grizz in 5
Just don't let Prince shoot from the left corner. He's hitting at over 54% from there for the season.
To me the key is Parker to have a good series, and Conley to get shut down. If we have that, then Spurs in 6.
Parker looked A LOT more better movement wise then in the GSW series, hopefully his health keeps improving
nothing in the OP about 3pters...
Memphis in 5.
Ok I was thinking spurs in 6 before this game and am now going to drop it to 5.
Lillard will turn everything around. Don't worry. He won't bolt the first chance he gets to LA or NY. Don't even worry about that.
Let me break it down for you. timvp does not get paid to write about the Spurs regardless so while you'd think he meant "I don't get paid to be a cheerleader, I get paid to write it like I see it" his bottom line is that he's not getting paid to write this stuff.
Game 1:
10 check
9 check
8 check
7 somewhat check
6 a little bit check
5 check
4 check
3 check
2 check
1 on defense check. On offense the guy needs to play to contact
at these suicidal posts by timvp lately
tbh when a dude breaks in you home it shakes your confidence in your team tbh. Had two break ins back in 2005 when I lived alone and on the 1st wasn't home but on the 2nd I held the guy at gunpoint after he set off the house alarm. Then later I was a little shaken in confidence in the playoffs tbh
Who'd a thunk Duncan, Splitter and Diaw would combine for a grand total of nine points and the Spurs would win in a blow out?
If we win this series, we pe ion Kori to Pink his ass!
While in the first game we were clearly superior, We only won 1 game. I had a different prediction to timvp, but the series is going to be close, the Grizzlies are a good team. Don't blame him if he ends up being wrong on the prediction, it's a series that analysis can disagree on, and Road team in 6 is probably the 2nd most likely outcome(After home team in 5). I also think he'll be fine if he's wrong, being incorrect in a prediction doesn't effect his pay.
Yeah Timvp trolling. If not, he should really be revoked of his forum license, tbh.
Anybody who watched the Spurs play defense, rebound and take care of the ball. Memphis doesn't score a lot from the three point line, so they can't win if they have fewer shot attempts than the Spurs.Who'd a thunk Duncan, Splitter and Diaw would combine for a grand total of nine points and the Spurs would win in a blow out?
One of these games, the Spurs are going to get sloppy, the Grizz are going to take advantage of turnovers to get easy buckets in transition, the Grizz will fight for every rebound, they'll work hard to get to the line, and the Spurs will still be close at the end of the game if they aren't ahead.
Memphis in 6
Great keys imo. I still have Spurs in 5.
I don't think Memphis' offense can match up to the combination of Spurs' defense and great offense.
Spurs are the best team the Grizzlies' have faced so far on BOTH ends of the floor. They are outmatched imo. Spurs can play at both slow and high pace, and even if the game is going just how the Grizzlies' want, they still won't be up very much and the Spurs will always be just a few shots away from taking a lead back.
People are strange. Yall do realize that not just thinking the Spurs are going to win every series has nothing to do with being emo? Especially with injuries and history in the mix, there are a lot of variables. Spurs aren't some dominant team at the moment (although their defense is studly lately) and Memphis is playing damn well.
This is very true. I mentioned in some earlier threads about this series that despite OKC being without Westbrook, OKC was still in every game in the fourth quarter. Even without Durant scoring like he normally does either. So it showed me that even if the Spurs have one of their top 2 options effectively neutralized that because they are a superior offensive team than a Westbrook-less OKC, they too should be in every game, even if MEM does what they do well. That's just the nature of playing MEM - they very rarely blow you out. They just get stops.
Spurs stopped a much more talented back court in Curry/Thompson - so even if Zbo/Gasol combine for 50 (which is doable, but a damn large number), they have to get 40 points from Conley/Bayless/Prince/Pondexter which is tough.
If timvp were a GNSF then he would be constantly taunted with "sir step away from the ledge, take a deep breath" type posts. I'll give the Grizzlies credit they're my favorite team in the west outside of the Spurs and have a solid chance at winning this series but I think the overt pessimism is unwarranted. The Spurs are a totally different team from 2011 and not just from their roster but the style of ball they play. This team is built to shut down post play in the interior (look at what we did to LAL) which is why the back court of the Warriors gave us trouble. Grizzlies are tough as nails and can easily bounce back but the odds aren't completely stacked against the Spurs, not at all.
lol so you think the Grizz have a solid shot at winning the series, but when Timvp says that with his reasons why he's suicidal?
Fluke shooting game with all the 3 point shots falling. Those shots won't happen again in this series.
