So Memphis is going to win it in seven...

[TJastal]

I hope the Clips pull out a win tomorrow, going all out. This way the Spurs would have to play a hobbling Clips team, which the Spurs will definitely make quick work of in round 2.

They would just have to wait for the OKC and more than likely the Lakers to beat up on each other.

This would be ideal, but somehow I don't think the grizzlies are going to drop the ball now that they're rolling and both Paul & Griffin are dinged up.

[temujin]

The exchange Gay in/ Battier out has dropped Memphis BB IQ by some 50 Units.
Out of a total of 60.

The guy is in the same class as RJ in terms of loserness.

Still I think Clippers will advance.

[Rummpd]

Going to most likely go seven and I predict Memphis will choke like crazy again and Clippers survive as also the zebras SURELY will help them out along the way.

I have been a Spurs fan for almost 30 years and will continue..however im not a young kid anymore and with growing up I have become more of a realist fan..instead of a homer. With that being said dont you guys think its a little ironic that your ripping on cp3 and the clipps for flopping when parker/ginobili are just as bad, if not worse?? It seems like ginobili has caught on latley with the refs calling less and less of his flops, but I must say TP has gotten really good at it even in todays game!! Paul and griffin are bad yes, but my guess is they probably learnt the tactics from the Spurs lol

Ginobili, yes. He's a major flopper. Parker? I don't think I've ever seen him flop before, and I watch all the games, so I'm not sure what to make of that observation.

[Poolboy5623]

Parker flops...he just does such a good job of disguising it that it takes a trained eye to notice..it wasnt that long ago that one of the announcers of the game called him out after acting as if he was hit in the mouth..review showed he wasnt hit anywhere near the mouth area!

[Leetonidas]

Because Parker and Ginobili have never done a heliflop

Applying the word "flopping" to both Manu and Paul implies that they're doing the same thing. That couldn't be further from reality. To use a somewhat blue metaphor, it's like saying a "player" and a rapist do the same thing to get tail, just because neither is the open-a-door-for-a-lady gentleman.

Just a few examples, Manu has NEVER done anything like this, while this stuff is Paul's bread and butter:





So no, Manu is nowhere near Pauls league when it comes to flopping.

[FvckMavs]

Anyone has the gifs when TD held CP3 to prevent him from flopping and the one e flopped on Oberto?

[024]

all it takes is for the clippers' jump shots to not fall in game 6 and suddenly the series goes back to memphis for the closeout. there's no reason the spurs shouldn't be afraid of the grizzlies. if they play inside out, the spurs are going up against their weakness. spurs are a different team but parker always struggles against conley and the spurs depend on parker even more this year.

[Horse]

The only problem I see with this Spurs team is they sometimes lose focus when they get ahead early. I believe we have a better shot at sweeping memphis than the clips because they will be more determined and focused to beat memphis than probly any team they see the rest of the way.

[tesseractive]

Wow, that Laker one is classic.

[Keepin' it real]

So no, Manu is nowhere near Pauls league when it comes to flopping.

CP3 must be a fan of the original flopper, Kosmo Kramer:

[duncan_21]

Depends if the grizz pound the ball to whoever blake is guarding. If they do that they blow out the clips in both games against a banged up team. However if mem decides to play up and down and chuck bad long range jumpers the series is the clips to win.

If the clips have to win game 6 so that we don't play back to backs I'd rather have flop city win. obv I'd rather play lac cuz there's no way they can beat the spurs. Mem when they play smart have a much better chance of beating the spurs.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Obviously a lot hinges on just how bad those injuries will impact Paul and Blake, but at the moment I think the Grizz will do just enough stupid things to lose on the road.

[bigfan]

The Grizz will win in seven againsts the Clips and then payback is a against my well rested healthy Spurs.

[Spurtacus]

Paul and Griffin are game time decision for game 6. I'm sure they will play but not at 100%. If this goes back to Memphis its all over for the Clippers.

Spurs will be rested, healthy, and extremely motivated against the Grizzlies.

[Basketball Power]

Clippers done with all the injuries

[mountainballer]

Damn didn't know you could tell future... Who am I going to marry? :o

depends on Obama.

[Yuixafun]

depends on Obama.

I see what you did there.
