Spurs-Clippers

I watched that Grizzlies-Clippers game 7 and I still can't figure out how Memphis lost.  Well, they didn't score any points, no one could hit the broad side of a Griffin that day but even still I thought the tenacious D would pull it out for them.  What happened?  The Grizz struck me as the better team in virtually every game of that series.  How they came back from 3-1, won a close-out game on the Clippers floor (er, well, the Lakers floor), and then failed to show up for game 7 back home is a baffler.  The Clips didn't even play well!  A lot was made of how 'big' the Clipper bench but honestly that was because Chris Paul and Blake Griffin were both pretty horrible and, well, you have to give credit to somebody.  So congrats to those dudes that no one can name.  And, oh the way, you got ZERO shot against the Spurs.  The Spurs are tanned, rested and ready.  They've been balling all year long, Tony Parker is the most underrated player in the league and they've had a layover between games, which suits them to a T unlike a lot of teams that get rusty.  Seriously, I'll take the Spurs in 4.  Maybe Chris Paul comes up big in games 3 or 4, but unless that happens, I don't see how the Clips even come close to hanging.  The Spurs have more scoring, more discipline and the expectation of success.  And they no longer have to worry about their nemesis, the Memphis Grizzlies.
