How did we lose?
* Grizz had a 50/40/90 game in the playoffs. And lost. (50% field goal%/40% from three/90% free throw%)
* Grizz shot over 50% from the field and lost for only the 2nd time this season. (Other was at the Lakers at the end of the season.)
* Crazy series. Just the opposite in Game 4, with the 23 TOs & Kawhi 40 point/five 3's/five steals, and Grizz still won.

Mike & Kawhi:
* Crazy good #s for Mike. Team Defensive Rating with Mike off the court in series is 142.6.
* Spurs were 14 of 17 when Conley sat, scored 35 points in 7 minutes.
* Crazy #s for Kawhi. Kawhi's PER for the series is 37.5, which is the 2nd highest PER for a playoff series with a minimum of 100 minutes played. (Olajuwon highest in '88.)

Game 6:
* What to do with Troy? Didn't even get up a shot in Game 5, but still a +10. Pop is not going to let him get open shots, which opens up the floor for Mike.
* But, with 7 & 1/2 minutes left, Grizz down 4, Troy leaves Patty Mills twice in under a minute to help on Tony Parker. Mills nails two 3's, game over.
* Grizz have averaged 106 points the last 3 games, post Fizz rant and lineup change, after averaging 82 in first 2 games.
* Marc had 17 points and 7 assists in G5, but again he was average at best. No more fade aways, need aggressive drives to the hoop.
* At the half of Game 5, Wayne Selden had 6 points, and Mike had 5 points. What would the odds against that have been 30 days ago? Expect more Selden in Game 6.

Prediction: Grizz 97 - Spurs 88.

Thank you. And thanks for the points.

I'm not a conspiracy guy about NBA referees. Think most try to call it straight, but the stars tend to get calls.

Is interesting to note that if Grizz win tonight, then we are looking at a Game 7 Saturday night on national TV. Ratings were really good for last Saturday's Grizz - Spurs game.

The Bucks have to beat Toronto tonight to force a Game 7 in that series, which also would be Saturday night.

If Toronto closes out the Bucks, I think our chances to win increase. If the Bucks win, our chances diminish. Cause I am an NBA conspiracy theorist.

Vince!!

MC11!!

ZBo with the bucket and shot to Bertans face.

3 fouls in a minute for Vince. Can't have him on Kawhi for long.

Getting jobbed again

This team gets zero respect!

So frustrating to watch the officials F us...even at home

BS call on Seldon

WTF?

Flop F'n city! The new LA Clips!

8 offensive rebounds in the 3rd quarter for the Spurs according to Rob Fisher. Can't win with that kind of number in the 4th Q.

o nerves don't fail me now

Don't breathe on Kahwi. He's good enough, as is.

No need to give him free throws!

Troy has 3 points and is a +15 on the game. Highest on either team by far.

I'm dying. Marc has to stop deferring to Ennis. So frustrating.

Nobody wants to shoot on our end

Kahwi either drives and gets fouled, or dishes...and they hit
