    Grizzlies +9.5 Game 1

    I just have a feeling about this game. I've been down on my Grizz most of the year, especially the last two months or so, but I gotta feeling about this game tonight. No Tony Allen is bad because there goes your number 1 option to stop Kawhi. However, I really think the Grizzlies show up tonight. I know they slipped a lot to end the season, but I really do think they were saving up for what might be the last hurrah for the "core 4." Plus, you have a Spurs team who probably aren't as good as their record, and the Grizz did have success against them this year. Also, you got Marc going up against brother Pau in a playoff series for the first time, and I think Marc is gonna get his. That matchup will be key and when you get motivated, beastmode-level Marc, the Grizz are very tough to hang with.

    Not saying the Grizz win this game. They may not win a game this series without Tony Allen checking Kawhi. But I think you get a home run effort out of them tonight.

    Like it, not sure trick or treat Tony is all that great anymore. Kawhi would kill him

    That would be something if the team defense stepped up in his absence. You never know man. Tony's energy means a lot to this team, and despite all the heat he takes, when he gets significant minutes the Grizz win.

    Good luck, thanks for stopping by Shady McGrady's Bar and Grill

    Kawhi is great, a top 3 player but I don't know if allen makes a difference against a player of his caliber. He's the type to get 25 5 and 5 regardless of matchup. His real strength is shutting down anyone on defense from positions 1 thru 4

    Right he can have 1 through 4 but what I'm expecting is for Marc Gasol (and ZBo but mainly Marc) to eat eat eat eat MCs for breakfast lunch and dinner.

    Randolph always sons Aldridge too.

    they always play them tough. 9 points is a ton.

    kawhi is in some ways neutralized on the defensive end as him shutting down memphis' best wing player does not mean much.

    He cant guard gasol and zbo

    Grizz only way to win is muck up the game. Tempo will be key in this series.

    Switching Green onto Conley and hiding Parker on some scrub changed this game. Conley was tearing Parker up in the 1st qtr. Gasol will need to stay hot to keep this close since literally nobody else has showed up for memphis

    people aren't watching this shit are they - you have a league in which the majority of the teams suck. you narrow is down to the playoffs and the you still cannot produce a good game. Toronto got stomped as well. NHL - games - players care.

    Maybe there is no interest in the youngsters playing basketball thats why they are left with these lanky lethargic slow players that only can be picked.

    If I was the dude stroking checks for Memphis I would be heated. He's basically paying guys that cannot do their job.
