The Spurs and Grizzlies are set to tip off for Game 1 at 7pm on Saturday. We get a bit of insight from the Memphis side, courtesy of Grizzly Bear Blues writer Brandon Conner.
(A quick note: This back-and-forth happened before the news of Tony Allen’s injury.)
GBB: First off, what are your initial feelings about this match-up? Do you like the Spurs facing off against the Grizzlies, or was there another team you would've preferred to face?
PtR: My immediate reactions were deja-vu, followed by a deep, clutched gulp.
