    The Grizz don't belong. We do.

    Go Spurs.

    Damn spurs are pulling out every trick in the book. It is clear what the spurs want to do is keep the game close.

    WHet Grizzlies do, is they play hard and tough basketball. Spurs used to do that. But now Memphis has the edge. They have two SHUT DOWN defenders on the outside and they bring scorer in Mayo who can get 20+ any time. They rebound to add to that.

    This team is beating the Spurs, with or without Ginobili.

    if rudy gay was healthy and actually reaches his potential as a true all-star, the grizz have the ingredients to be a championship team (with experience of course)

    they have inside scoring, rebounding, good perimeter defense.

    Since March 1, Mayo has scored over 20 points.......... 1 time. And that was against Minnesota.

    I'm cheering for the Spurs these playoffs, so count me skeptcial about Memphis being such a good team. That said, Danny Ainge has proven that he's a complete and total moron this year.

    Go Grizz.

    WOW!

    Beautiful buzzer beater by Mayo.

    That thing had a trajectory like this...

    How can you be a Rocket fan (I guess you are) and root for the Spurs?

    And yes, Ainge is a dumbass

    Why not?

    They're not Dallas, there's no bitter playoff defeats like 2005, and they don't have pieces of **** like Terry or Kirilenko on their team. Manu's a flopper, but so are Martin and Scola. And I like Duncan, all the more so after watching Lebron and Bosh.. I want him to get #5 so the Kobe fans will understand who really is the greatest player of his generation.

    They do, we might be a terrible match-up for them but they're the better team.

    That Battier, he's giving out the best of both worlds, Jeff Van Gundy's defense and Adelman's offense.

    You think Battier is the reason the grizzlies are playing this type of defense? Really?
