    Quote all of these guys and ask them if now they understand why some of us were so confident.
    No reason to do that. All of those guys clearly never spent a second watching the Spurs play. A lot of us based our predictions on the fact that we'd actually watched the Grizzlies play every playoff game up to that point. Those guys don't know about Parker and Duncan, let alone Splitter and Leonard. It's so funny that the team motto is "we don't bluff" and their confidence at the beginning of the series was based on nothing but false bravado, most of which disappeared after game 3.

    "It could easily be 2-1. We should be confident in ourselves and believe in ourselves that we can win and extend the series. One game at a time." Mike Conley

    If you're on the team, of course you're going to pretend to think this way publicly. But deep down, they know better and everyone else should too: The Spurs have dominated this series, handily outplaying them in all but two quarters (4th quarter, game 2; 1st quarter, game 3), including the two overtimes.

    Yeah, I thought about doing it, but they're clearly just blind bandwagoners who didn't know what the Spurs were capable of. I only ended up replying to the guy who quoted my thread here and made fun of it (since I/others here ended up being dead on accurate about it), and to the guy who thought it was easy being a Spurfan because we had a winning record every year. What they don't realize is when your team is always .500+, you're invested every year. ..and get disappointed every year. When your team wins 20-30 every year, it's actually not a big bother since it's expected.

    When the Grizz lose in 4-5 games, they'll eventually understand that opposing teams aren't just there to lose to the Grizzlies the one time they have a good year. Many teams have good years all the time and never win. Being good's just a chance at a le, not a guarantee. They'll figure it out on their own eventually.

    Just because this game was lost, it does NOT mean the guys have given up. I know the men on our team are now even more hungry for the NBA Finals. Gasol hates losing more than he loves winning, and he will be seeking revenge this coming Monday. JB is probably the most compe ive person on the team, and I know his confidence is not faltering, only driving him to put the Spurs in their place. ZBO yesterday night after the loss, "There is more work to do. I WANT THAT RING." Tony's faith will drive him because he knows anything is possible. We were humbled these past three games, but we will be exalted. The Spurs have been exalting themselves, but they will be humbled.
    Remember the ravenous Grizzlies we saw in the first quarter yesterday? Those were Grizzlies with fire in their eyes, and the Grizzlies we will see the next four games.


    Tony Allen's faith is what it's coming to for them to have hope.

    I feel really bad for some of these people on their boards :/
    Um...come again?

    Spurs players have always been humble, have you seen any stupid celebrations from them? a la landry?? no of course not. Any team has bad fans.

    That was in direct response to what Kobe did earlier in the game - mocking, not outright showboating. Not as bad.

    Wow, I don't know what making me cry worse. The fact that we lost or the fact that This may be my last time of seeing Bayless on the Grizzlies.

    Idc what you say. I love the Grizzlies, but my main reason for watching was to see Bayless. The only reason I ever watched basketball was because to see JB. SAY WHAT U WANT, IDC ANYMORE. This breaks my heart. I thought I had enough faith to move the mountains on this one, which makes this loss hurt even more.


    Maybe if we all had a little more faith.
