Hope Marc is OK. Without him we´re thin in our frontcourt

Some of the calls in this game have been horrible. That out of bounds call.....this is crazy.

Agreed. The refing has been terrible.

Prince actually playing like he is worth that contract. what is this? Did Prince just wake up and say "Ima ball tonight" for once in his time with the Grizzlies?

Zach missed a lot of makeable shots and we gambled way too much against a team that hits their open 3's. Unfortunate, but hopefully we learn from this in terms of how to play the Spurs.

Considering they play and should know the Spurs methods and personal, this was the best defensive measures they could come up with. I saw from a few sets the Spurs had the Grizzlies on their heels in terms of passing the ball so well that the Grizzlies could not keep up the man to man defense. They got owned from the perimeter with the Spurs going 14-25 from beyond the arc. Zach Randolph once again gets scoped out by the Spurs defense going 4-11. The Spurs continue to find ways to isolate Z-Bo from the Grizz offensively. Courtney Lee was not a big factor as DG held him in check tonight as TA did to Kawhi Leonard tonight. The bench got outscored 45-28 with Prince droppin 20 from the bench.

This matchup with the Spurs tells me that if you are achieving to become the best in the league, you have to beat the best. The Spurs are the team to beat. They do not have 5 championships for a reason. They are that good and they are the team that has the Grizzlies number. If the Grizzlies wish to put in end to that, make some adjustments on the defensive end and for future references, make a move or two to overcome the threat to your ultimate goal: The NBA Finals.
