Game 1
One of the most frustrating games I remember watching that season...of course at that point it was the most frustrating.
Matt Bonner being on fire at the very end and Richard " got" Jefferson not giving him the opportunity to hit the potential three point tying shot.
Game 2
Good overall game, if it wasn't for Manu's return, the series could have very well been 0-2 in favor of the Grizzlies.
Game 3
The Spurs were in the game at the end despite being down 10+ early. I specifically remember Randolph hitting a ridiculous amount of fluky shots culminating with a back breaking three point shot at the end. The Spurs could have tied it at the end had the refs seen Pop signaling for a timeout, but oh well, like the majority of the series proceeded the Spurs just couldn't catch that game winning break.
Game 4
Worst game of the series. Our guys just downright quit imo. Absolutely nothing was going for the Spurs this game. The entire Memphis squad were on a roll offensively hitting fluky shot after fluky shot coupling that with hustle on both ends. It was just an absolute abomination of basketball.
Game 5
Our guys got up early on the young squad only for them to come back and eventually take a lead throughout the fourth. Almost every player wearing white and black looked tired in the fourth but with the late game heroics of Manu and Gary, the series was to be extended for one last game.
Game 6
Back breaking game. The Grizzlies got up on the Spurs early on but the Spurs managed to make an admirable comeback. Randolph closed out the Spurs by making some of the most incredibly tough shots a bigman could take. As a die hard spur fan, I can't remember a more deflating and depressing moment. Getting knocked off and embarrassed by an eighth seed that wanted to play the Spurs.
Every now and then I look back to these highlights, particularly the ones from game 1, 3, 4, and of course 6, and take solace that I know these special group of players won't allow the same embarrassing to happen again.
I have said it here before countless times, I hope we draw the Grizzlies.
Payback is a motherf*cker.
Before the series started, I thought "Meh. Grizzlies are a good team but Spurs in 6."
Game 1: Manu didn't play. It's okay we'll take Game 2.
Game 2: See, that's more like it, but the Spurs still didn't play too well. As long as they split one of the road games.
Game 3: Spurs almost won that. They'll take Game 4.
Game 4: Well ....
Game 5: I love you Gary Neal! Spurs are back in it.
Game 6: Well ... Richard Jefferson. I hope he's not in a Spurs jersey next season.
I want the Grizz in the second round for sure. I wanna punk them and skunk them on their own homecourt.
We've got 9 players from that series who are probably itching for another shot at Memphis.
Not to mention an entire fanbase who want to put the care bears to hibernation early. those guys
What's the point of reminding us of the year we got curbstomped by 8?
Anger. How can you attempt to forget when it's one of the most embarrassing moments in the history of this franchise.
That said, it should be used as a medium to get fired up for the postseason altogether.
Yeah but was this an eighth seed? Did that laker squad have no name players destroy us?
We wouldn't have seen the Lakers last year thanks to Dallas.
Memphis was not a legit 8, they tank to be at the 8 spot because they had a plan already, they scouted the Spurs and knew what they were doing
Your talking about the Lakers, and you have a valid point, but this is the first round opponent against an eight seed.
Oh, and there is a reason they were the eighth seed.
Shaq, Kobe, Malone, Payton, and other quality role players > the entire grizzlies
roster
I'm sure our guys are already fired up. No need to bring back those memories here.
Yeah, Memphis if i remember correctly had the best record following the Allstar break and the spurs were a .500 ball club. They weren't a prototypical eighth seed but they still were an eighth seed. Imo, there arent moral losses in basketball, you lose to who you lose to.
How do you know?
Those memories should be brought back as a reminder to what happened.
When they draw the grizzlies and create them a new asshole I'll be bumping this thread.
still say the clock didn't start in time. No way he got that off. If he got that off, Danny Green got his shot off against Dallas, tbh.
How can you call it tanking? What if they had played those last 2 games and Randolph or Allen got injured?
it got me fired up... i just want to remind the grizzlies that, well, theyre the grizzlies
RJ is such a pussy.
Redemption time, ezz!
Why did i rewatch that....and it was on my bday...man what a horrible bday that was.
This was the most pain ive ever felt from a professional sport.

BTW, I meant The Grizzlies, not the videos you took the time to post, triggeredexcellence. Even though they are pretty much one in the same.
