NBA Playoffs Preview: Spurs vs. Grizzlies

Can the Grizzlies give the Spurs any trouble in the first round of the playoffs, or are we looking at another San Antonio sweep?

Since the 2011 playoffs when the Memphis Grizzlies, the 8 seed in the Western Conference, knocked off the San Antonio Spurs, the 1 seed, these two teams have played each other twice in the playoffs.

So, with yet another Spurs-versus-Grizzlies showdown in this year's postseason, can we expect anything different?

Memphis is coming into the playoffs stumbling. They have lost 9 of their last 12 games, not a promising sign for a team that has made it past the first round twice since that 2011 upset.
