Based on what happened in Game 1 tonight, how many games do you think the Spurs-Grizzlies series is going to?

I think the Grizzlies underestimated the Spurs tonight, and plus, I wasn't expecting the Spurs to beat the Grizzlies by that many points, especially what happened to the Spurs 2 years ago to the Grizzlies, and the Spurs haven't gotten really younger, anyway, should the Spurs be the favorite now to reach the NBA Finals from the West Conference?

    The Spurs are better than they were a couple of years ago, and the Grizz lost something when they traded Rudy Gay. The Spurs are the deepest team, and the best coached team, and they are getting better as the Playoffs go along. The Grizz can't match up against Diaw or Splitter, Z-Bo is just too undersized, neither of those guys were around when the Grizz beat the Spurs a couple of years ago, if I recall Blair was worked over by Z-Bo back then, much like Z-Bo was worked over in Game 1.

    The Grizz starters scored a whopping 17 points total in Game 1, read that again, Grizz fans. Your starters got you 17 points for the whole game. How do you explain that? Did the Spurs shut them down with defense? Did the Grizz get cold on offense? 17 points from your starting 5 guys! And frankly the Grizz don't have much of a bench.

    Truth be told, the Spurs came out focused and were dedicated to their defense, meanwhile the shots were falling for them. The Grizz got rattled, any run they made was countered by the Spurs, it was complete control and domination.

    The Spurs in 5.

    I dont even know why lots of people picked the grizzlies over my spurs anyways. We have a better coach, better stars, more experienced, deeper bench, better shooters and better ball movement. Im sticking with my pick. My spurs in 6. Damn, you people must be so dumb to pick the grizzlies over my spurs. We definitely are the better team. And we are gonna win this series. Stop denying greatness.

    Grizzlies should pick up now, they know what to expect and should see that the spurs are not a team to mess with.

    I had the Spurs favored to win it in 6 or 7. That hasn't changed.

    I'm just amused by the backpedaling of all the "experts" who picked the Griz because "They're playing with such confidence" and "They have all the momentum". It didn't take long for that to go away, did it?
