Spurs will win both teams don’t shoot well from 3 but spurs are better so it comes down to who makes more 3s
Bryan
May 19, 2021 at 4:18 pm
The Grizzlies are the better team and they’re at home lol. The Spurs have one of the worst paint defenses in the league. So their only chance to win is by hitting 3’s. If they don’t fall they’re completely screwed

@Bryan Lol how do we have the one of the worst paint defenses in the league? When Jakob Poeltl is on the floor, the Spurs are 4th in Defensive Rating.
Bryan
May 19, 2021 at 4:40 pm
@heartofthenba You guys allow the 5th most paint points in the nba

Dude the Grizzlies will win we already beat them in back to back games in their own building we can beat them one more time we dominated them last time we played them lol!

Yes Derozen has playoff experience but I don’t know

@Kyle Jr DeRozan is a playoff choker though, so the Grizzlies are my pick.

@Jugg 901 dawg show respect on the spurs because for two decades they have been whooping whatever team you a fan of.

May 19, 2021 at 6:43 pm
@Billy Williams if you win it’s what it is, but we ain’t lying down. That’s all I’m saying, no easy Dub. Jim Carey Mentality, so your telling me there’s a chance.
Billy Williams
May 19, 2021 at 6:55 pm
@ruben d I didn’t say that y’all gonna lay down I’m sure we will get your best shot tonight y’all season on the line just like ours will be! But I feel like we should come out on top we shall see may the best team win mane!

Love my spurs but it’s just so hard to win without DWhite. We definitely miss him.

Would be incredible to see Pop win one more ring. Probably won’t happen bc the Spurs won’t be good enough soon but I would give him the GOAT title among head coaches for sure.

this whole segment was basically one big diss to DeRozan. He’s really become underrated since being in San Antonio

I feel like Stephen a and max disagree just because they need to keep up the show on

May 19, 2021 at 3:52 pm
Morant needs to stop being timid and go out there dominate the game. This man playing like Mike Conley wanna avg. 17 18 pts. No bruh Ja go out there and get 30+

Go Spurs Go… its worthy to say both teams …could lose a star player and move on ..looking at injury to which will help your bench and in the playoffs becomes very important…the healthy team wins it…and that’s that.
Bryan
May 19, 2021 at 4:15 pm
The Grizzlies are more healthy than the Spurs

Pop needs to retire or join another team. The west is full of young upcoming teams. The Suns, Pelicans, Grizzlies, and Nuggets are super young and will make the playoffs for the next 5+ years. Then you add both LA teams, the Jazz, Portland, GS, and interesting Minnesota team. Spurs just don’t strike fear into anyone anymore and don’t have any young superstars.
Kanye East
May 19, 2021 at 4:49 pm
He will never coach another team. It would be so weird lol. He’ll retire with the Spurs
Memphis Grizzlies
