Spurs vs Grizzlies Thread
With Manu out I don't see why Mayo isn't playing for the Grizzlies yet, Spurs are covering the interior, they need someone who can create their own shot from the perimeter. Allen isn't at his best when there's no go-to guy to shut down.
“We had a conversation and I told him, ‘Shoot the ball when you’re open. That’s what you do’ I’ve never taken you out when you miss shots, so don’t think that you can’t take a shot because you might miss it. You can’t make them if you don’t shoot them.’ He’s come on and shot the ball extremely well. It’s important for us as we go forward that he continues to shoot the ball well. He’s a big factor on our squad. We need him to make shots.”-Hollins on Mayo
If that does not say that Hollins does not have confidence or given up on him I don't what does.
Not true at all! He may not have that elite blow by quickness, but he is crafty. He has ways of getting to the rack, it's not like he does not have any moves, he just does not display them. He's good at using hesitation moves or trying to overpower/ muscle his defenders to the rack.
Don't be Surprised if Memphis makes it to the Western Conference Finals...The only 3 teams i see giving them problems are Lakers,Dallas and Portland..And either Dallas or Portland will be eliminated in the 1st round...And they wont face the Lakers until the conference finals,if they make it there...
The Spurs are slowly gaining control, I feel that Memphis need to half these first two games as if the Spurs go 2-0 up they will be very hard to peg back and would surely win at least one game in Memphis and thus at worse would be 3-2 up with two home games to come.
Or do the grizz if they can keep randolph and gasol. If mayo either improves to a starting caliber player or they trade him for another piece, and gay comes back to him oldself and keeps improving. Do they have a shot of having a final type potential team. They have two bigs who completment and play well with eachother. If Conley could finish in the lane more consitantly he could be a top 15 type pg. TOny Allen is playing like a man on a mission on this team. They play mean defense. And really hard all the time. I really enjoyed watching them to day. I see shooting and depth as there issues since they really have no back up center but i really like arthur as a bench player.
No Manu No Rudy SMH. This will be a great series because everyone says Memphis purposely tanked their games to get this matchup. I'm really pulling for Memphis in this series, but they will have to get it going on early & try to contain Parker & Hill.
