I look forward to the yearly round of Grizzlies and Spurs!

Speaking of this, I went back and looked in the thread when the Grizzlies knocked them off in 2011 and my man 24 had some good quotables when Z-Bo/Gasol were working those dudes, lol.

Aye King, look at what your man had the nerve to say because they caught that L. At least he knew we were deep though...

didnt realize there were so many Spur haters round these parts....

hey any attention is good attention i guess lol

[Future]You got too much salt[\Future]

Re: 2017 Western Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

Got all my party gear ready for whenever the Spurs get eliminated from the playoffs. Got a cup of this struggle juice ready for Two Four to get a couple sips from too. Trying to give this dude the whole bottle but these fools keep coming back every damn year.

Jazz in 7

bold. I'll say if the jazz can steal one of the first two games we have a chance

The good thing abou not having HCA is they have a lot of pressure on them the first two games to keep HCA.

Re: 2017 Western Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

Jazz are 12-2 when Hill, Hood, Hayward, Favors, and Gobert all play. I like our chances.

Seeding(outside of Jazz/Clippers, which will be TBD tonight)and matchups are already set so we're just waiting for the schedule, which will be out later tonight.

(1)Golden State Warriors vs. (8)Portland Trailblazers

(2)San Antonio Spurs vs. (7)Memphis Grizzlies

(3)Houston Rockets vs. (6)Oklahoma City Thunder

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Utah Jazz

I see the Warriors and Spurs meeting in the WCF, and I see the Warriors winning, and I dont see it going 7 either, probably Warriors in 6, but wouldnt be too surprised if Warriors dont win in 5.

I see the Clippers coming up short like they always tend to do come playoff time. I'll say Utah in 6 games

Utah is the only lower seed I see winning in the 1st rd. I think OKC might put a slight scare into Houston, cause come playoff time, you have to rachet up the defense, and Dantoni dont value defense, nor does Harden, so I can see Westbrook lighting them up, but no matter who it is, no 1 player can win a series practically by himself, not even MJ was able to do that, so I dont see Westbrook being able too. I do think it could be a very entertaining series, with Harden and Houston's offense, going up against the 1 man show which is Westbrook. Id love to see OKC pull off the upset, because I cant stand Harden or D'Anfoni, but I dont see this series going more than 5, but all 5 games I think could be close, or atleast 4 of the 5 games will be close.


Warriors meet Cavs once again in the finals, and this yr the Warriors take back the Championship, and Durant gets what he came to GS for. I'll say it will probably take 7 games though for the Warriors to do it.
