The loss of Manu–even when he is back, he will not be 100%, makes this series a coin flip in my opinion, with the tie-breaker going to the Spurs because of home court advantage. The Grizzlies do not usually shoot the three well, which will allow the Spurs to sag their defense to the inside to attempt to chip down on our league leading points in the paint. So the bottom line is that the Grizz are going to have to hit 3′s to make San Antonio’s defense honest. They are a streak shooting team, so an upset is not out of the question for the series. 6 or 7 games.

Are you learning impaired? Better go back to that remedial reading class. Trail Blazers in 6 was the upset pick referenced.

The Grizzlies lack the experience and late-game execution needed to pull the upset. I do agree their bigs will bother the Spurs, but homecourt, experience, and Tony Parker will be the difference in this series. Five or six games.

must be tough to go out on a limb and pick the top seeded team to win every series…. what ballsy predictions.
