The Lowdown

The Grizzlies are 3-1 in the series over the Spurs and are 1 game away from putting the Spurs away. The series will be shifted back to Texas where the Spurs will have home advantage. The Grizz must continue to take care of business in this series as they have done so far. The last thing they can afford to have happen is to allow the Spurs to gain any confidence to fight back in the series. The Spurs are playing at home today. Make sure this game is their last for the season. Good luck Grizzlies!

Grizz haven't gotten it going inside yet. Hopefully the bench can give us a good spark. Get DA the ball down low with Bonner guarding him. He missed that first one, but that's a pretty big mismatch and you have to take advantage.

Perimeter defense not good so far and Grizz are taking many jumpers. Not a good start.

Fact of the matter is that the Grizzlies really didn't play a great game and they still were able to put themselves in a position to win at the end. All that matters is the win, but it's not like the Grizz choked. Props to the Spurs, they hit some crazy shots.

If Shane throws that ball to OJ in the backcourt at the end, we're done with this series.

That being said, we're far and away the better team, and we're going to kill these guys in the grindhouse. Let's get this done!

Ohhh... man. I was really hoping the Grizzlies would win this game and eliminate the Spurs.

No way Gary Neal could have taken a dribble and get of that shot in 1.7 seconds, looking at the replay it looks like the clock starts way to slow

Literally, the most heartbreaking game I have seen.

If we do not win this series, we are cursed.

There is no way that Neal managed to take two dribbles and shoot in 1.7 seconds. Something has got to give.

I can understand why. If we win on Friday, I am celebrating big time.
