Playoffs Game Blog: Spurs @ Grizzlies - Game 6 - April 29

[Horse]

Spurs join the Mavs club of infamy.

Memphis had some matchups, but this series was played upstairs. Poor coaching and mentally weak players is what killed us. A disgrace.
Time to blow this mofo up, starting with the coach.

The mavs best player was not hurt. And this grizzly team is way better than the 07 golden-state team.

[VBM]

Duncan finally makes a tip in

[NewJerSpur]

you know, at least most of the players wanted to win tonight which it didnt happen in previous games - this team today was closer to what we are used to see. wished they had played like that the entire series

And playing on the road at that after getting blown out in Memphis and having an emotionally draining game 5.

Tim Duncan, you deserved better. Pop for not playing Splitter all season, the FO for not getting legitimate help and some gots on the team like RJ.

Thank you for everything Timmy.

I agree with you on every point. Tim deserved better. The FO, Holt and Pop let him down and squandered one of the greatest gifts in basketball history.

[VBM]

The mavs best player was not hurt. And this grizzly team is way better than the 07 golden-state team.

And when OKC beats Memphis 4-1, people will say the same thing about them

[Death In June]

So, in retrospect, what was the worse move....getting RJ initially with that god awful contract or resigning him for four more years?

[Spurologist]

Why the is pop prolonging the inevitable

Memphis will get swept

[SpurOutofTownFan]

people comparing this to dallas' have to idea. dallas was the best 1st seed in a long time - that was a real upset, everyone, absolutely everyone expected them to win. the spurs this time, not so much - look at the record after the break

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

After the wonderful run from 2003-2007, I guess we were due some rough times, but these past two years have been truly heartbreaking. Last year an awesome team on paper that never came together, this year a team that outperformed in the regular season then folded like a 29 offsuit.

[NewJerSpur]

The mavs best player was not hurt. And this grizzly team is way better than the 07 golden-state team.

The Mavs also were a force with a historical season that everyone counted on making it to the finals.....there were questions about the Spurs and the Bulls beat them out for best record.

don't get the hate over Randolph he played a great serie

[baseline bum]

Says this faithful Christian woman.


hahahahahahahaah

I'm happy for Randolph getting his career back on track in Memphis. Great series from him.

[hitmanyr2k]

I want Z-Bo to keep this going. I hope he can go to work on Perkins and Ibaka.

[boutons_deux]

The better team won, Barkeley was right.

[SouthernFried]

Memphis wont get past second round...guaranteed.

They just had the perfect matchup with the Spurs and could dominate with stronger players inside.

Spurs also didn't have their hearts in these playoffs. You could see Memphis just wanted it more.

Time to start over.

Tim...love ya. Been a great run.

Cya on the golf course.

[peskypesky]

Pop, just go away. I never want to see your face or hear your name again. you ing ASSHOLE.

[JohnnySixString]

Damn, I was hoping the Spurs would let them score 100. It would be a fitting end,lol.

[Quiet Strength]

Wrong. Dice pushed him all the way out past the elbow before he caught the ball, and we are in the penalty so we couldn't just foul him. Dice then did an incredible job of forcing him into a tough, fading 15fter on the baseline, and he made it. No D on the planet could have stopped that.

nah Dice shouldn't have been guarding him in the first place.

[NewJerSpur]

Props to the Grizz, they played better and more consitently....they deserve to move on. Still looking forward to next season as always.

[JohnnySixString]

Pop, just go away. I never want to see your face or hear your name again. you ing ASSHOLE.

[siraulo23]

Memphis better ing show up vs the Thunder and not get swept

[Horse]

And when OKC beats Memphis 4-1, people will say the same thing about them

Noway okc will have it tough especially if every grizzly hits every piece of he throws up like they did against us.

[peskypesky]

The better team won, Barkeley was right.

nope. the better coach won. if Pop had developed Splitter and played him from the start of this series, i have no doubt Spurs would've won.

[Borosai]

The team fought hard, but holy what a bad performance by the guys leading this team.

You don't get swept by the Suns, and then lose to the 8th seed because of role players.

[Banzai]

was a good regular season for the Spurs.
