    Yes! Hope the Spurs learn from this game and try to gain momentum heading to Memphis. Don't expect any game to be a blowout though. These Grizzlies have heart.

    I'd be so happy if the Lakers lost tonight.

    LOL. It's pretty easy to win with 30 more free throws. The grizzlies can't touch the spurs without a foul, but yall can manhandle us.

    FT are the absolute only reason you guys were in either of these games.

    I'm not surprised you blame the reffing, every fan of a losing fan does...

    btw, what happened to Xavier Henry? Wasn't he starting for the Grizzlies a few months back replacing OJ Mayo?

    Whatever man. It's a fact.

    I think that in the last 50 games or some ridiculous number, the grizzlies have only lost the points in the paint battle 3 times.

    You're going to tell me the old ass spurs all the sudden was able to overcome that?

    But 2 ticky tack fouls on Randolph, and the refs sprung the trap. Cost Zach about 7 minutes of game time. The same with Marc.

    what, I have a question for you: From watching these two teams play all season, you think home-court will matter much?

    Yeah it's to be expected....so why even state it. I don't want you to ever blame the refs when your team loses cause I'm just going to throw the obvious at you.

    I'm a fan of neither team.

    I'm surprised no one's talking about the NBA TV feed being from the San Antonio station televising the game. I don't think there's a bigger color commentator homer in the NBA than Sean Elliott. Tommy Heinsohn doesn't hold a candle to him.

    Yes it will matter.

    I mean there is a lot that can happen. But the grizzlies are a different team at home.

    I mean the biggest reason we lost was because we couldn't make any shots, we had a lot of turnovers. Some of it was zbo getting into foul trouble early.

    I could be wrong but I don't see the spurs beating us in game 3. I don't even really think it is going to be close.

    Game 4 will be the spurs shot.

    Better than to argue back and forth about it.

    Don't worry, I won't. The Grizzlies are a good team.

    The Spurs have this thing of winning series when it looks like they can't. I'm rooting for the Grizzles and hope they win though.

    The spurs should have won both games at home. The grizzlies winning one was the goal.

    As far as the foul situation goes, I've watched the grizzlies all year and I've never seen so many fouls called on them. In fact I could go back 2 years. And even with that the grizzlies had the spurs off balance.

    We just couldn't make shots.

    The Spurs make a habit of losing their first playoff game. I wouldn't be too worried if I were them.

    woah, woah, woah. heinsohn is so far in 1st place he's lapped the field. sean elliott is a proud holder of the #2 spot and has been for years, but even he managed to say a few calls were good tonight. heinsohn is just ridiculous.

    My dislike for all things Spurs just won't allow me to even acknowledge how bad "Mr Tommy points" is when compared to Sean Elliott.
    I have to put Elliott at #1 just because he's affiliated with the Spurs!:mad::mad:

    be careful what you wish for Grizz fan ... I think Spurs win this series in 5, Spurs seem to not to play with any intensity but when they do they absolutely dominate. I hope the crowd is loud for game 3, these are the games Spurs have won, and have been in worse hostile environment

    5? Care to lay a wager on that. I got 300 dollars says it goes longer than 5. We can lay or bet on one of those betting websites.

    Or course you aren't going to do it because you don't really believe what you say, you just trying to be irritating.
