    Not impressed. No triple double.

    How can a team that has won only 4 playoffs series in its 22-year history be underestimated every year?

    Hey @what I know this is a steal for you but **** it, we'll give you Bobby Brown and a autographed Jeremy Lin rookie card for Conley.

    What a game.

    Manu needs to retire, for Spurs sake.

    LMA with 2 rebounds in 43 minutes? ROFL> What a joke

    Would've been great to play Grizzlies in the second round. I doubt that happens.

    Great fight by the Grizzlies. Never thought they would even win one game. Still think it's going to be Spurs in 6, but they have to worry to not become a one man show. Crunchtime plus Overtime was basically a blueprint of OKC's game with Kawhi doing everything on offense and the rest just standing around. Memphis made the right call, on purpose or spontaneous giving the last shot to Gasol, when everybody expected Conley to take it.

    Grizzlies will kills us with their size, if the Spurs have trouble, what do you think they will do to us?

    Hell of a game. I feel Memphis might have to game plan to upset them.

    First of all, we need to beat the Thunder first. Second, we would get past the Grizzlies. Their size is a problem, but the Rockets' offense would overwhelm them.

    I've been saying for awhile this is a bad matchup for Spurs. Their last game in regular season convinced me.

    In the regular season, MEM was always tough for them. And if you watched that last game they played in a playoff environment, MEM really deserved that win. Conley got a cut on his eye and couldn't finish that last 5 minutes and OT, they screw up defense on an inbounds play up 2 with 1.9 seconds left for the tie (miscommunication on Kawhi leaving LMA for a lob), and Gasol sat the entire OT due to restricted minutes just coming back.

    They could have easily been 3-1 against SAS for the season, and 2-1 in three games of March and early April.

    I'm just gonna leave some pics of Fizdale's wife here... first Spo, now Fiz. Heat assistant coaches get the baddest wives. Don Riley must be teaching them well.

    On paper yes, I would say a close 7 games with either team having a chance to win it.
