AT&T Center




The Lowdown

For the first time in five yrs, the Grizzlies find themselves back in the playoffs. They will face off against the very experience San Antonio Spurs on the road for the first two games. While Spurs look to show the reasons why they should be in this year's finals. The Grizzlies look for pride, redemption, and determination. The pride the Grizzlies will look to build after going 0-12 in their first three playoff rounds. The redemption to face of against the Spurs who swept them under the rug in the 2003-04 playoff series. The determination that they will show the Spurs that this first round series will not be a cakewalk nor a sweep. Expect a helleva fight above nothing else. Win nor lose.

[Rich2Hassan]

Lets go Grizzlies, win this.

[SD2042]

Conley in the thick of things. Need to maintain thier will to keep ahead with the Spurs.

[SD2042]

Spurs feelin it @ home.

[SD2042]

Haddadi appearance. Grizz need to keep the game close and limit TOs' on their end.

[VanCityRaps]

Why doesn't Powe get any minutes?

[SD2042]

Spurs gettin banged up a bit. Grizz need to exploit here.

Zbo on point.

[SD2042]

Why doesn't Powe get any minutes?

Powe isn't neccessarily in the rotation. So he'll be playing spot up minutes when possible.

[SD2042]

45-43 Grizz with the lead.

What they need to work on.

Limiting the Spurs second chance pts.
Hitting the boards better in the second half.
Isolate TD from his teammates.
Grizz offense must continue to stay on point.
Get this win.

[SD2042]

Defensve lapse by the Grizz allowing the Spurs to get a small run going plus the 1pt lead. Gotta play better.

[SD2042]

Grizz offense crappin out here. They are not gettin the play out in time. Need to crack the offense up.

[SD2042]

TP is waking up. He needs to be shut down again.

Marc with a good shot.

[SD2042]

Can we stop picking up fouls?

[VanCityRaps]

Game is slipping away.

[SD2042]

If the Grizz want this game, they need to hammer it to the inside just lke what happened on that play with Marc.
