I hope it's a good series that all fans of both teams enjoy. Obviously, I'm hoping for a different outcome than the folks around here, but whichever team wins, I hope it's a good, clean, injury-and-controversy-free series. Sorry Allen won't be up for this one, Grizz fans.

Thats my team. Very good start. Cant ask for more


In these very first minutes, you can notice the many headaches khawi will give us

And thats how you blow a lead: get Harrison on the court.

Definitely that.


We're also slacking off defensively here in the third. Allowing the Spurs to get to the free throw line.

Wayne Selfen started instead of Carter. He came out on fire. Now it looks like nobody can play outside of Gasol and Conley. This will be a 4 game seeep I believe. We had better teams from 2004-2006 and lost 12 straight playoff games . This team makes no sense for the playoffs . chandler parsons is just one easy indicator for
How this team has been poorly managed. It isn't that difficult to understand when you put out inferior players out they will lose. These players don't have the kind of fire even Lance Stephenson and other les skilled players like motor guys exhibit - greivis Vasquez. That doesn't show up in metrics. You have to spend your life watching them . The spurs get it. They always brIng in winners. I'm so sick of losing.


Coming in as the 7th seed and then rolling over belly up like this is worse than being a toilet bowl team like our conference mates the Pelicans. Right now we're a team with no clear identity and no difference makers outside of Conley / Gasol

27 point deficit they conceded before the series got started. I haven't felt this disappointed in a long time. I was prepared for a sweep. But I didn't think we were this pathetic . I don't see anything to hold onto . I hope the players look back on what got
Them here and reflect on that and boost themselves back. Right now they look like an assembly of dog

I'm glad this game is over. Although I expect the Spurs to win the series, at least don't play like garbage.

The fact that we were playing our best basketball possible in the 1st, they were slightly poor but all in all, a close game. That indicator could only mean one thing: big lose.

Now lets be honest, gasol can do that almost everynight but that will mean that other players cant get touchs and wont be involved. Popovich said they wont double-team him so I guess expect him to drop 30 everynight.

One last thing to comment, our defense sucks.

Even when the result is to be expected, it still stings when it happens.

Just hope they don't play like garbage like they did in Game 1.

Down 21pts at the half. The Grizzlies offense has not been clicking on all cylinders tonight. The Spurs defense has the Grizzlies offense in the bottleneck so far in the first half. The Grizzlies defense haven't done a good job guarding Kawhi, LMA, and Parker in tonight's game.

Finally got back into the game and only down four in the fourth.

how many fouls on Kawhi were legit in G2?

there was a play, we were 5 pts down. We double teamed Khawi in midcourt, he passed the ball to an open gasol, who drived to the basket, drove over harrison who was waiting there for ages. Gasol opened the ball to a corner three (i think it was porker). down by 8 and ever since, we didnt have a chance. There were a few calls, like that one that should have been a jump ball (khawi-marc) that it just didnt make sense. Something stinks here.


Now we are 2-0 and we have chance to win at FedEx but do not remember they still are a superelite team that can win anytime against any team. So... it can look as bad as it seems.
