I was kinda worried but never in a million years did I think they would win the series.
People thought Memphis was stupid for tanking? Manu was hurt and Splitter was collecting DNP-CDs. I remember people being mad and hoping the Spurs would punish Memphis for doing it, but I sure don't remember anyone being confident about it.

Maybe not. It's an extremely rare occurrence, but I seem to recall that a lot of us knew the stars were aligned perfectly for the Grizzlies, especially after the Suns game. When Manu didn't play in game 1 and the Spurs pissed away a 4 point lead in the last minute, their margin for error all but disappeared. You're right though; it's probably just 20/20 hindsight in my brain.
LOL the mood over there.

I would be thrilled with overtime.
Win or lose. The Griz figured out how to beat them.
1. hope to god they score only 9 in the 4th
2. ref bailout fake flagrant
3. ref help..no ft in the 4th??? really
if that all happens again they are golden
1- Pop play bonner for 17 of the last 18 minutes
a few gems after the game 2 loss
This is a good loss - def going to 7. Glad we found some type of mojo - Grindhouse will get us over the top.I believe this series will go to a game 7. And I believe we can win that game.

yeah, Tony Allen can get a job in HollywoodMaybe the Grizzlies have figured out something. The 4th quarter looked really good for us![]()

Manu is a dirty player. I don't care what the announcers say, that was a flagrant foul on Manu. Tony could have been badly hurt if he hadn't been able to catch himself.![]()
The Grizz didn't figure anything out. Timmy was in foul trouble... the lineup sucked, and they missed shots. That's it. But let them think what they want.
Lol Vancouver grizzlies
lol Tennessee
lol tony allen
lol z Bo
lol Lionel hollins
lol wcf
This, finally someone says what's been on my mind. ZBo still sucked until the refs artificially altered the game by racking up cheap touch fouls on Timmy to get him taken out of the game. Only then did ZBo start to score. He didn't figure out our D, the refs did.
I hate to ever say this sorta thing, but ZBo really has tremendous trouble scoring with Timmy guarding him in the half court. He barely has a chance unless the refs remove or handcuff him with cheap fouls.
This is like that game against Golden State where everything went wrong. The Spurs couldn't hit outside shots, didn't score inside, didn't draw fouls, got horribly outrebounded, couldn't get calls, were in foul trouble, played a terrible lineup. The difference is, they still won this game.
If the Spurs find a way to lose 4 out of 5 to Memphis they wouldn't have beaten Miami anyway. They need to treat game 3 like a must win.

Spurs are just a better team. It's no disgrace to lose to them.
Grizz made a great comeback. Grizz must win both games at home or this will be a short series.
Like I opined. Spurs in 5. Sorry, but the Grizz are overmatched in both talent and coaching.
Well looks like there has been a change of heart..
haha, the Grizz board is amazing. They spend a lot of time whining about the Spurs being floppers, then Allen performs the biggest, most pathetic flop in the history of the NBA.
Why do you guys care what they think? Of course they're going to be homers. It's a Memphis Grizzlies board. You think we don't have tons and tons of homers here?
Just enjoy that we're up 2-0 and hope that we can close this thing out and move on to Miami. It'd be nice to have a shot at number 5.
Allen would at least let his head touch the floor for me to call it a decent acting job. It reminded me more of a cheap B movie where you can see the punches not landing.
according to Grizz fans. It was Westbrook who was limiting KD:
Yeah I mean OKC was missing Westbrook but they are a proud team with a HOF player in his prime.Who do you think it was that made KD not play extra well?!
I just refuse to believe that Z-Bo and Gasol will continue to be contained by Boris Diaw, Tiago Splitter, and Matt Bonner, when Deadre Jordan, Blake Griffin, Serge Ibaka (NBA Shot Block leader and All NBA 1st team Defense), Kendrick Perkins and Nick Collison couldn't.

ROFL.
