Official San Antonio Spurs VS Memphis Grizzlies 1st Round Thread: MEM Win 4-2!

[lil stevie728]

The Spurs live and die with Ginobili. Duncan has always been the anchor and the presence inside, Parker sets the tone, but Ginobili puts them over the top. Dunno if the elbow is still bothering him but I think it's just that + old age. He fizzled out during the playoffs last year too. Over his last 11 playoff games, he's shooting 35% from the floor. If he's done then the Spurs are done because I don't know what else they can do. Over his career, it's not like he's even been a big-minute guy either...his career mpg is 28

Spurs’ fall arriving sooner than expected

Everyone’s eyes can see the truth unfolding on the floor, and yes, the crumbling of the San Antonio Spurs’ dynasty is a jarring spectacle. Fading fast now, a proud, old champion has struggled to stay with the talented bodies, young legs and hungry hearts out of Memphis. The Grizzlies tanked the final games of the season for a chance to obliterate the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, and Tim Duncan sounded so offended. There would be a price for Memphis to pay for such blatant disregard.

Only Duncan’s no longer able to exact revenge on the Spurs’ honor. San Antonio is down 3-1 to the eighth-seeded Memphis Grizzlies, and this feels far less like an upset and far more like an inevitability. The Spurs reconstructed themselves to play faster, freer and far less dependent on Duncan. They had no choice, but San Antonio suddenly seems far more constructed for the long run of the regular season than the grind of the playoffs.

Spurs owner Peter Holt always insisted: He was going down with Duncan. It was admirable, fitting and just. Only now, the time has come.

The Spurs are going down with Tim Duncan.

One year ago this week, Holt watched the Spurs sputter through most of the regular season, cling to the seventh seed and still beat an old rival, the Dallas Mavericks, in the first round of the playoffs. It was a magnificent victory, validating for the Gregg Popovich and RC Buford regime because it convinced them they were justified in staying with the program.

“We looked at the history of all this, and asked, ‘Should we try this or not?’

interesting stat: the Spurs have now lost 15 of their last 18 postseason road games, dating back to Game 4 against Phoenix in 2008

The Spurs record against the top 10 defensive teams is very bad.
I'm not sure what their record is, but I just heard it on the Chris Vernon Show. Something just isn't right. The Spurs played as hard as they could in Game 4 and got blown out. But, lets see what happens.
