The go-to scorer has been Ginobli because of his ability to draw fouls.

They got swept the 1 time they made it.

You are grasping at straws.

Check out the 2003 Spurs (defeated NJNets).

Ginobili was terrible in the playoffs. Didn't even play 30 mpg and didn't even shoot 40% from the field.

It is so odd. He has this weird obsession with everything Grizzlies.


I'm a troll (and obsessed?) because I don't think your team is good enough to win a championship? If they win, I'll shut up about them not being good enough, but until then I'm not a believer.

From 12 years ago?



Please fill in the blanks for the times (and championships) since. Yes, the Spurs have tons of options, but their big 3 all of the ability to score inside led by Ginobli attacking the rim.

@ESPNSteinLine: RT @KCJHoop: Bulls tied again w/Hawks for league lead: 17 road wins. Hawks half-game better at 17-5 (MAYBE BULLS SHOULD WANT THE NO. 5 SEED)


So weird. They've been terrible at home.

Now they got the first road win @Golden State and I think the were the first Eastern conference team to win @Memphis in almost a calendar year.

And you see why they let Lionel walk. They had hit their ceiling with him. Pop just coached circles around him that series.

I honestly think the Bulls thrive much better as the underdog. If Chicago is considered the favorite, they often play like shite.

If the talk heading into the eastern conference playoffs is about the Cavs Hawks and Wizards, I could easily see the Bulls going into the playoffs mad and playing their asses off.

I do think they are the one Eastern team come playoff time that would give Western Conference teams fits.

They seem to play way better vs. the West than they do the East.

Albeit a rival I've been very clear I respect the shite out of Memphis.

But is the original squad plus Carter, Lee, and Jeff Green under Dave Joerger enough to get out of the West?

I've got doubts.

They have the best record in the league vs. the top 8 in the West this season. They finally have a top 10 offense in the league. Marc Gasol has become the force we've hoped to see for a while. ZBo is playing the basketball I've seen him play since the 2011 playoffs when they knocked off the Spurs. They are deep.

We got screwed wit injuries and suspensions last year. We wouldn't have been a 7 seed if Marc didn't miss so many games. Zbo getting suspended for game 7 killed us. And not having Calathes to help play some defense on Westbrook when Conley went out didn't help either.

I keep seeing people bringing up ZBo's suspension for game 7 last year yet no one cares to remember that they got absolutely obliterated at home when full strength in game 6 in a must win potential clincher.

Eta: And they do look their best this year. And obviously last year they barely got in due to injuries. Perhaps the ran into 1 of the 2 teams they couldn't beat in the first round (OKC and San Antonio)

Okay that was one game of a 7 game series... We had already won twice in OKC.

OKC won't make it because of Brooks and their bench. Until they get a new coach they will never win a title.

They blew their chance when they traded James Harden. And I will always be thankful for that.
