    Spurs with an unenthusiastic start. They must be taking lessons from the Rockets.

    I know it's early, but if Kawhi doesn't carry them offensively, this could be very interesting. The Grizzlies bench will have to hang tough and not give up big scoring bunches.

    @what there is no excuse for your team to give up 10 points to moldy Ginobli. Any thoughts as to the things the Spurs did differently in this one? Any scouting will be appreciated.

    Dude, Manu is a hall of famer. The problem is that at home the spurs role players play out of their minds. The grizzlies had a shot, but the spurs made bucket after bucket down the stretch. They deserved the win.

    I know he is, but the guy looks absolutely done. Even people in San Antonio who unconditionally love him think he should hang it up based on how he played in this series. I was just curious why he broke through now since my attention was elsewhere for much of the game. When I turned it on it looked like Mills had one of those games so I accept your explanation. :D

    BTW, I've been particularly impressed with Conley so far. Hope he can go off in Memphis.

    Stupid Mills is going to hit shot after shot like that against us in the next round. I hate this guy. He might be as annoying as D Fisher.

    I'd prefer two wins, but I'll settle for one.

    I'm really just hoping that James can get that extra day of rest If Memphis wins. We need his ankle as close to 100 as possible. He needs to be the MVP against SA, of which he is capable.
