    Spurs vs. Grizzlies
    What are your thoughts on the game?

    Spurs are on a back to back coming from overtime.
    They are playing without Manu.
    The Grizzlies are playing without Zach.
    The Grizzlies embarrassed them in the playoffs.
    Will the Spurs step up after their embarrassing loss or will the Grizzlies destroy them again?

    I am leaning Grizzlies so far.

          I think the sides are the trap play of the day.

          this will not be the 2011 spurs v. grizzlies game, the Spurs Bigs got a tough home game v. the Rockets next (their rivals), I'm guessing Coach Pop will play his bench a lot tomorrow, just like he did today.

          If the spur's bench shoot lights out like they did today @ Dallas, they will win this game SU. Grizzlies D is mostly within the paint, they allow 34% 3pt shooting as opposed to 44% FG shooting.

          Fatigue shouldn't be as big a factor for the bench, who are mostly an offensive threat and they are young. Fatigue is more a factor for Duncan, Parker and Jefferson, who played limited mins today and I'm betting will play limited mins. tomorrow.

          Of course, there's the Memphis Griz offense to consider, who will stop 7' Gasol? No one.

          Gay, Gasol, Allen will all create an offensive threat, for which the Spurs don't have an answer. Well, they do have an answer, they'll have to outscore them.

          I predict a shootout.

          OVER 189.5 is my play of the day.

              Spurs are actually playing their last leg of three consecutive road games.

                  Haven't teams on their 3rd game of their b2b2b been winning those games at a high rate? I think this game will be close and i'll take the Spurs and the points.

                      It's not a b2b2b for the Spurs it's just a b2b. It is their 3rd game in 4 nights though, and all of those games have been on the road.

                          Starters were basically playing only half the game yesterday and fatigue shouldn't be a factor. I'd take spurs :-)

                              Spurs might win SU!
