Aren't grizz (5)? will be a great series, for sure!

unfinished Grizzness, tbh.

Baynes will need some minutes now. Blair if he can stay on the floor.

Neal and Bonner must be glued to the bench.

CJ will need to have some good minutes on Conley Jr and Bayless

this will be a tough, tough series.

Leonard and Allen will be x-factors. their respective impact is the biggest question mark for me.

Should be a great series

Very hard to pick a winner here but will go with the team with HCA.

IDK about Neal being on the bench, Spurs might need scoring and Memphis doesn't have as many players who can abuse him. Though Neal will probably chuck until he can't chuck no more.

Its a tossup but I predict Griz in 7.

Grizzlies in 6.

This will be the best series so far.

Memphis will probably come out of this one. I don't think the Spurs can live with an injured Parker.

Now, this is the match up I'm really looking forward to.

Battle for Western Conference Supremacy. No hype, no flashy superstars, and just pure great grind it out basketball.

Spurs vs. Grizzlies. Battle to become the best in the west!

I'm going w/ Grizzlies in 6

Spurs in 6. Grizz struggled a bit against a Westbrook-less OKC team featuring one of the worst playoff performances of all time (Perkins).

Spurs faced a hurting GSW team, but Splitter missed some games due to injury and Parker had a pretty brutal calf bruise but thankfully SA pulled through.

Spurs should pack the paint and get this in 6.

I'm picking the Grizzlies in 6 because Tim Duncan's brick feet are gonna let Gasol get wide open mid range jumpers all day long. Splitter plays Randolph really well though, should really keep him down unless the refs get Splitter out early

Spurs in 7

The only reason why the Grizz struggled a bit with OKC despite no Westbrook is because they run and their explosive. Whenever the Thunder played halfcourt offense, the Grizzlies smothered them.

The Spurs are a strict halfcourt team which suits Memphis. If Parker and Manu start pushing the tempo, that will be the edge the Spurs need.

RatherUnique · Post #18 » by **RatherUnique** » Fri May 17, 2013 5:42 am

Memphis gonna pound the poor Spurs into submission again.

The freaking Grizzlies are gonna make the finals & will be very competitive when they get there. Wow.

Um, Spurs haven't been "strict halfcourt" for years now.

They have been among league leaders in fast breaks points for a few years already. Ever since Duncan's decline led to Parker taking on more load on offense, Pop wants to play faster.

Grizz in 6.

I think the Grizzlies have enough defense to contain and give the Spurs offense a hard time. The biggest question is if the Grizzlies have enough offense.
