I'm just glad they aren't playing the Warriors so haters can't claim the Warriors got lucky by drawing a team that's literally limping into the playoffs.
It'll be interesting to see how many here give all the credit to the Spurs when they win this series vs. what they were saying about the Warriors when they beat them last year without a couple of their main guys-mainly Conley.
SPURS are known for dicking around in the early series for some reason.
It just takes them a while to warm up the playoff feel.
I am not going to predict a sweep.
Every single run to the Finals, they lost one bonehead home game in the first round.
The only time they did not lose the first weekend in a title run was 2013, when they lost to the HEAT in Finals.
The Spurs virtually always start the playoffs slow. As dominant as they were in the playoffs when they won their last title, folks forget that the Mavs took them to 7 games in round 1.
Plus, even with all of the injuries, the Grizzlies still play really hard. They can't win the series, but they can steal a game.
