Almost there.
I think Popavellian is perfect.

Popalicious works as a change-of-pace.
Two things that will happen:
1-Conley's D on Parker will get a lot better (or they'll put Allen on him).
2-Z-Bo's offense will get a lot better too.
Spurs must anticipate and adjust for that. Conley is not going to let Parker run hog-wild again.
would be more satisfied if the spurs win an ugly game.
I have a feeling there will be some very hard fouls dished out by the Grizzlies to our guards, particularly Manu and Tony. I wouldn't be surprised if someone on Grizzlies gets ejected. My money's on Tony Allen.
As long as we win I don't care how we do it.
Everyone is talking offense but their defense is key. The plan was executed to perfection and D is all effort, they can continue to do this.
I also think this is one of the teams we don't have to worry about the Spurs staying motivated for.
The Spurs are going to kick some more ass tonight. They have the right amount of respect for this foe, especially since the Grizz knocked them out two years. They haven't forgotten and this series is all about redemption and retribution for the silver and black.
Yes I believe this whole series they will be focused on revenge for 2011. You'll see them going all out, tonight especially. Gotta keep that home court cushion.
Memphis needs to win one on the road... If they do not win today, Game 5 is going to be tough if they come back to San Antonio.
They aren't like that nor that kind of team.
If the Spurs win tonight by double digits again, this series is over in 5.
If its a blowout again, we could sweep since our core players would rest again.
Memphis too good to sweep.
Yeah they are pretty good, and most probably Spurs role players will cool down, but Spurs can win close games and I do not think they could lose by a blowout..
A loss in Game 1 would have been a disaster for the Spurs. It doesn't signify much for the Griz.
Over the years, when the Spurs have had a game where everything was falling, they have shot the ball miserably in the next one. The good news is that they have still managed an impressive number of ugly wins on those miserable-shooting nights. Also, Game 1 wasn't one of those games when everything they looked at went in. They made a lot of 3's, but that was mostly because they were left wide open - not so much because they had some magical shooting night.
I agree that Bonner can't/won't outplay Randolph for a series. But as long as he's not a complete pylon, like a few years ago, and if he bodies up enough to at least make Z-Bo earn them from the line instead of giving him and-1's, he'll have done his part. The one thing Matt did well in Game 1 was to deny Randolph the ball by moving his feet really well. Randolph is going to try to combat that by being much more physical - count on it. There's always a chance that if Bonner keeps up the good footwork, he'll force Randolph into a few fouls, trying to get position. If the zebras are calling the contact underneath, it could allow Bonner to get the best of the matchup a second time.
