The Lowdown

Warning to the Spurs. You're stepping into Bear Country now.

If you think this is the Memphis Zoo, you're dead wrong. Didn't you read the sign? The sign said Bear Country a.k.a. FedEx Forum. Home of the Memphis Grizzlies and the fans who will see the return of the playoffs to Memphis for the first time in 5 seasons. One thing's for sure. This series has been anything but easy. It's been highly contested and played tighter than a 500lb fat man wearing spandex. We're in Bear Country now means we must take advantage with the home crowd on our side. The sounds of growls and cheers must dominate the Forum as well as the Grizzlies must be on point on both ends of the floor if they wish to gain an edge over the Spurs in this match. Maintain the right to be fiesty, ferocious, and best of all, show fundamentals to the game and win this on your home floor.

FEAR THE BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe the Spurs will come out with all guns blazing. This game is a must win for them - if they lose it will be REALLY tough to get 3 in a row for them.

That said - if they don't kill us in the first half and it will be a close game down the stretch, I like our chances.

I hope we get Parker in check because I believe if he gets it going it will be really tough. Conley will have to terrorise him!

If Grizzlies win this, they win the series. Grizzlies can't go back to San Antonio with the series tied.

Hopefully we'll get a little better defense out of Mike/whoever's guarding TP in the second half. Parker and Ginobili look like SA's only reliable offensive options this series.
Keep making those strong contests on their 3 point shooters. Go Grizz!

Grizzlies are playing GREAT. We'll really see what they're made of in the next few games.

Congrats to that win Grizzs! You guys just need one more win and MAYBE you can beat spurs and move on to the second round to face us or denver. Really have alot of respect for the Grizz, you guys are a scary team in the west...

Sorry I haven't been around more. This has to be my proudest moment as a Grizzlies fan! Unbelievably balanced, awesome performance. Everyone had a great game. Even OJ was draining jumpers and really was one of the biggest reasons for this win. Arthur couldn't miss from the mid range in the fourth. Vasquez hit a few shots, despite his careless mistakes. Of course, Zach and Marc came to play. Love this team!

How could I forget arguably the most important parts? Tony Allen and Shane Battier were dynamite on defense and Mike Conley was probably the game MVP.

Oh, and why the heck has this not reached a second page yet?

On a side note the Spurs who have the best record in the West only have a thread for the entire series and it gets like one post a game.

I'm glad to see the Grizz get out of the 1st round this year. And on top of that it's the team nobody likes the Spurs.

Sorry guys that I haven't been posting lately. But here in Vancouver hockey fever has taken hold. The Canucks beat Chicago in game 7. Whooo.

I sure hope you guys in Memphis experience the same elation although I hope it doesn't go as many games. I have been watching the Grizzles/Spurs games though.
