    Memphis/SA very tough to call this one. Gut tells me SA in a 6/7 game series. My head tells me Memphis.

    Heat will win quick in 5 I think. A blowout thrown in there.

    Yeah I agree with Miami in 5, but I'm quite convinced on the Spurs taking the Grizzlies. I think they've had a great run, but the Spurs are unfortunately a much bigger task than the Clippers, or Westbrookless Thunder.

    Hubie Brown says Memphis "shut them down to 89 percent in the second round."

    I think he meant 89 points per game :lol:


    memphis/san antonio is a coin flip series

    I've never seen Ginobili shoot so many airballs before these playoffs

    Ginobili gifted three free throws at the end of the first. He didn't even have control of the ball. No chance he could have gotten a shot away.

    Memphis had a chance to go for a 2 for 1 at the end of the first half.

    Gasol got an offensive rebound. Rather than shoot, he passes it out to Conley, who runs clock.

    No one aware of what's going on with the clock situation apparently.

    halftime show talking about how this is a dream matchup for San Antonio

    funny, because Simmons just wrote about how the WCF is a dream matchup for Memphis.

    I guess since SA is up 14, suddenly it's their dream matchup. If Memphis has a huge second half and somehow wins, I guess it flips back again!

    No I said if Duncan won a 6th ring, but I was reffering to the next couple seasons, just not last season alone, Duncan could only win his 5th last season, which he didnt.

    But im done arguing this, I think every basketball fan knows Duncan has 4, so to think I didnt was just ridic.

    to me, it's pretty clear cut that you use a timeout to save a possession

    TV guys don't seem to agree

    usually teams wind up with 2 or 3 left in the final minutes and they call a timeout every time they get the ball to call a new play

    I'd rather let my players play late if it means I can save possessions earlier in the game

    Im not going to over react to game 1 but I will say this, the sole reason OKC came back last year was cuz they were able to shoot the lights out against the Spurs. Memphis does not have the ability to do it, what they will do is up the defense but they cant pull what okc did.

    Also to compare this series to the one from 11 was stupid. Ginobli was injured, Danny Green, Kawhi, and Tiago Splitter were not in that series and lastly Duncan and Parker have improved since then.

    Given some of your other posts? Not "ridic." at all.

    Why would every basketball fan know how many rings Duncan has? Keep in mind he hasn't won one in six years. I knew how many he had, but the obvious conclusion from your post was that you didn't know.

    No, it's not stupid. It's logical. Every person who read your post assumed you didn't know how many rings he had won.

    You said Duncan should flash his 5 rings to show off how great he is. So obviously you're very bad at communicating if you knew he only had four.

    :lol: You keep arguing. I didn't bring this up.

    I just think it's comical that everyone disagrees with you and somehow it's not your fault.

    Not a single person read your post and concluded that you knew how many rings Duncan had.

    So either you're the only person in the NBA threads who can read, or you communicate very poorly. One or the other.

    I think its comical that people have to analyze and critique everyone of my posts. Everything I say gets put under a microscope. You guys need to give someone else attention cuz I dont want it,
