    Spurs will win both teams don’t shoot well from 3 but spurs are better so it comes down to who makes more 3s

      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.

      @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

    • MB CVADF3

      May 19, 2021 at 6:19 pm

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

      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.

      May 19, 2021 at 6:55 pm

    May 19, 2021 at 2:44 pm

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

    Is it just me or does molly looked cracked out in this video

  6. Mr. Anderson

  7. Hot Takes

    May 19, 2021 at 2:48 pm

    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

  11. jonathan Highsmith

    May 19, 2021 at 3:35 pm

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

  12. masta monsta

    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

  20. Memphis Grizzlies

    May 19, 2021 at 5:33 pm
