2017 Playoffs (WC/R1) Game 1 Thread: Spurs vs Grizzlies (7:00 PM CT/3:00 AM Riga/TNT)

[UNT Eagles 2016]

The Spurs top defense versus the 30th rank field goal percentage offense and the 29th rank scoring offense. This is pretty much what you get.

But hey, you got 30 pointz in the first quatter!

Thanks

What series are y'all most interested in other than this one? I feel like the obvious answer is Thunder-Rockets (mine). None of the others appeal to me really. Maybe Boston will for a few games since Thomas' sister died today

[DPG21920]

Nah, prolly won't make it to a game this series. I'm down to meet up for Game 3 if you are.

[Robz4000]

Yeah, based on what? Smarter as in Marc and Conley throwing up prayers and hitting. More disciplined as in not doubling kawhi. Mentally tough? I dont think OKC was easy peasy on that department after all they were our boogeymen the past 5 years.

OKC might be the dumbest team I've ever seen. Their offense was literally what you're saying Conley and Gasol are doing, albeit Durant and Westbrook are better at it. They're disciplined enough to follow and stick to a game plan instead of making awful mistakes because they follow their instincts over all. They're mentally tough in that they'll continue to get after it even down 20+ (they've had several huge comebacks this year as well alongside the Spurs/Dubs).

First time since...2000? When Timmy was injured and we won 1 game, I think.

Yeah, you're right. I

Gobert was just helped off the court 17 seconds into the game. Couldn't put weight on his knee

Ya - HOU/OKC will be must see, but I'm excited for LAC/UTA as well but Gobert literally got injured on the first play smh

[$pursDynasty]

Dudes, where do you watch podium interviews? Give me a link

nba tv right now and nba.Com later

[DPG21920]

Unreal man. That is so damn brutal. Gobert is the legit DPOY IMO. If he's hurt UTA as ZERO CHANCE. Gobert is a major reason they are even in the playoffs. F*ck this.

[100%duncan]

FkLA they do have podium interviews, if you wanna watch, Fizdale is the first one i think

[Trill Clinton]

[spursparker9]

Mem coach praising Danny is one of the best at stopping fast break

Of course . Game 2 is in SA obviously but Game 3 is in MEM. I am down to watch somewhere with ST posters for that game in SA or Austin

[RD2191]

Rob - as long as you are willing to drink excessively, I want to watch with you

Can you go hit on men somewhere else?

Boston/Chicago has 7-game series written all over it imo. Said the same of MIL/TOR but after what Antetokounmpo did to them today on top of their choking ways it might be shorter.

Will IT miss games? Man losing your sister, and just before the playoffs.

Why. I'm swiping left so hard right now.

Kawhi skipping the podium?
