I agree with this. We need some rest but not a lot so we aren't rusty against Heat/Pacers.

Caught three keeper reds and a few trout during OT. Great OT and great fishing makes an even better night. Go spurs go!

If it wasn't for the incredibly slow start, we probably would have won this comfortably in regulation. IMO we just took Memphis eat punch, hung around and won the game. I think we sweep.

It was nice to see the big 3 carry us like they used to tonight. Our role players didn't look very good on the offensive end.

Grizzlies will not win game 4.

I disagree. End it in 4 and then rest.

Edit: eventually I'll get this formatting right on my phone...

Let's hope they do. They need to send the fans home with a win no matter what happens the rest of the way. I can take losing the series to the Spurs because they are a hell of a team and I like them and would hope they go on to beat the East champ, but its embarrassing to get swept and puts a real sour note on what has been a great season.

MemAg I hope they win, but from what I have seen so far this series I can't see it happening.

if you can take it in 4, do it. worry about the next series later.

It would be very, very nice to finish Memphis off in 4 and have Indy beat Miami at least once more. Each member of the big three could really use the extra days off.

You want to end it in 4. If you lose game 4 and somehow fumble game 5 away, then everyone starts talking about the 1st 3-0 comeback in NBA history. You don't want to go back to Memphis up 3-2.

@FakeCoachPop: Siri, search for broom stores in Memphis.

I've been trying to tell you guys that Memphis is a whole different animal when they're down 3-0. Watch out!

Apparently so. Just when you think they don't have an answer, someone steps up with a huge play. Again, I had this team pegged wrong. Even Bonner has been big at times. If Kawhi and Green can stay consistent the next several games, I like the Spurs' chances in the finals.

Uh, you don't ever "punt" a game in the Playoffs. Finish them.

BTW, the Finals don't start until June 6th. That is going to be a brutal wait!

I'm not usually one of those "ESPN hates us" Spurs fans, but their postgame coverage sucks and they deserve the shatty ratings they are getting.

I would usually be on NBATV at this time, but I'm stuck with ESPN in this hotel.

They had a few seconds of Pop's postgame and have since talked about the Red Sox, boston marathon, tons of hockey, and freaking soccer that nobody cares about without even following up on the Spurs (until right now).

ESPNStatsInfo: Spurs are 3-2 in last 2 postseasons in games in which they were down by 18+ points.

Rest of NBA is 3-61 over last 2 postseason



Wow

Other people care about things that you don't care about. What a concept.

That was hilarious.

Interesting stats:

quote:
The Spurs have become pretty adept at this comeback thing.

The Elias Sports Bureau noted that the rally from 16 points down at the end of the first quarter marked the third-biggest end-of-first-quarter deficit overcome in the Conference Finals since the round began in 1970-71.


quote:
The Spurs are also the second team in the last 15 seasons to win more than one game in a single postseason in which they trailed by 18 or more points.

The Mavericks had two such wins in the 2003 postseason.


quote:
The Spurs have as many 18-point comeback wins over the last two postseasons (3) as the rest of the NBA combined.

San Antonio was 0-21 in postseason games in which it trailed by at least 18 points from 2000 to 2011. They are 3-2 in those games over the last two postseasons. The rest of the league is 3-61.


quote:
Tim Duncan moved his way a couple of all-time lists in this win.

He notched his 144th career postseason double-double, passing Wilt Chamberlain for the second-most all-time. The only player with more is Magic Johnson, with 157.


quote:
Duncan is 37 years and 30 days old. He finished with 24 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. Elias notes that only two players in NBA history had a 20-10-5 game at an older age in postseason: Kareem Abdul Jabbar (four times) and Karl Malone (once)


quote:
Duncan also passed Jerry West and moved into sixth place on the all-time postseason scoring list.


quote:
During the Gregg Popovich era (since 1996-97), the Spurs have taken a 3-0 lead in a best-of-seven series on 11 different occasions. None of the previous 10 series went further than five games.

The GIF was invented for moments like that Gasol face smash.

Sounds like you should hang out on the "Other Sports" board...
