JOHN SALLEY IN THE HOUSE, DAWG

Spurs show they have too much offense for Grizzlies to handle in Game 1 destruction dlvr.it/3P6krx

If you're having trouble w/ the Lakers Nation link, our friends at @NBASportsCity have it too. bit.ly/16IJSbf

Event is about to begin. Remember you can watch live on LakersNation ---> bit.ly/16II2qR

Hope @TheeBlueMeanie spotted the BWO shirt in the stands at Extreme Rules.

I respect your stance @Gibberman10. It will be interesting to see if they decide to buy Amar'e out. #knicks

If you're having trouble connecting, refresh a couple times and eventually it works. Again, sorry for the inconvenience, folks. DB

#Thunder: What could @Serge Ibaka learn from Hakeem Olajuwon? okne.ws/18avsyA

Which is shocking, because Grizzlies don't often give them up.

Not that it's hard to figure out, but getting healthy is the Bulls' too summer priority: bit.ly/Z6xAqE

The Spurs' 14 made 3-pointers was a stunning number. So was the 29 attempts. Not many were contested. They manufactured TONS of open looks.

Welp, looks like I'll be in Sacramento on Thursday for the #LLTKRally. Interested to see if the venue can contain it.

Wowza “@ChecktheTicker: #Tigers Miguel Cabrera is now batting .509 (28-for-55) with runners in scoring position this season.”

You simply cannot walk Tim Biakabutuka that many times #damn #balls #damn

The Punt kick!

I just fell asleep and woke up to Kruk talking about Dwight Howard...is everything OK? Everybody cool? What's happening right now?

Looks like Dwight watch has begun. Reports he's interested in Houston, but I wouldn't read much into any rumors... Gut says he stays in LA.

I still say Gentry HAS to make that catch

Truth: “@McCallum12: this doesn't read like a putdown of Kobe ... comes up short compared to MJ. Stone fact. lat.ms/18WzcFc”

If you get a Database Error just refresh a couple times. Been having some server issues today. Sorry for the inconvenience. DB

Alright the event is live. Tune in to watch Kobe's special announcement right here: bit.ly/16II2qR

Pretty sure I hear @philmcguire33 leading the "Randy! Randy!" Cheers.

✈✈✈✈

So Kobe's event will be streamed live online and we should have it for you on LakersNation.com once it launches. Stay tuned! DB

The Pacers were off today, so that means there will be lots of questions at practice tomorrow over this Vogel and LeBron non-story.

Every ball hit out to right makes me vomit

Do not fall for fake reporter accounts.

I'm writing about this for Lakersnation.com Monday but CBSportsline report that #D12's looking around dovetails w/stuff I've heard.

Just learned an interesting little factoid: The little kid Elvis impersonator in "Honeymoon in Vegas" is Bruno Mars. AK

Movie night continues. Just finished Silver Linings Playbook, Django is up next. Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday.

Then watch him re-sign with the Lakers once all is said and done.

Dwight Howard took a lot of hits to get to this point where he is a free agent. He is going to savor it. Even if it means more PR hits.

At the draft combine, a lot of NBA teams will ask a player to guess how many basketballs would fit in the room where the interview is held.

#Spurs are dangerous when shooting like this. Too many weapons, opens up Parker to attack. Too many shooters bleacherreport.com/articles/16449… @BR_NBA

#D12 reportedly looking at other teams--but when he's done #Lakers will still be the one guarantying $30M more. cbssports.com/nba/blog/ken-b…

My all-time favorite question that a team asked players at the NBA draft combine: "What kind of weed do you smoke?" Most players cracked up.

Very impressed with #Indians. If the starting pitching holds up, may have to rethink my prediction of 84 wins and just missing playoffs.

Houston? Really Dwight? Even Shaq doesn't like the idea.

Postgame libation on the Riverwalk with BK. http://t.co/7iDIHvJBq5

Every year at the draft combine, at least one NBA team always asks: "Would you rather start on a losing team or sit on a winning team?"

The answer that the NBA team wanted to hear from players was that they would tip the blender over and crawl out.

That was an uh-oh

Was hoping Zeb would cut a political promo on the AP phone records.

Weirdest question a team asked at the NBA combine: "If you were the size of a pen and you were trapped in a blender, how would you get out?"

As Mayor Johnson eluded to earlier, the #NBAKings rally in Chavez Park is now Thursday, 5-9p #LLTKRally more info: nba.com/kings/news/lon…

Report: Dwight Howard will consider multiple teams in free agency, is said to be most intrigued by the Rockets dlvr.it/3P6DBP

If Kane not coming to Memphis, I'm sure it will be shot down soon, but was told of possibility by "those in the know" this weekend

Spurs played fantastic individual and team defense on Z-Bo. Well-timed fronts, mucking up entry passing lanes, swarmed him when he got ball.

Three-Pointers: Spurs go off from deep, erase Grizzlies’ Zach Randolph to take Game 1 bit.ly/10dnyPO

Kings.com announce the fan rally will be Thursday, 5-9pm at Cesar Chavez Park. #NBAKings

Meanwhile, Tim Duncan scored six points. It's the third-lowest point total in a playoff win of his career.

Duncan on Z-Bo: "We knew coming in what he wanted to do. So far, what we game-planned worked pretty well.".

That Elvis play, however, was an alley-oop to Dominique circa 87

#Raiders RT ‏@charlescwoodson Big thanks to Raider nation for all the love!

Duncan indicated defensive game-plan on Randolph was two years in the making, dating to 2011 playoff series.

Damn Rangers, that was ugly. Resembled an alley-oop to Kendrick Perkins

Tim Duncan, on Spurs' Game 1 rout: "That's about as good as it could go." Yep.

If you want to read more about Dwight Howard's free agency, check out this article: tinyurl.com/b5z5q3r

So while we're still far from a resolution, right now it seems Dwight is thinking Lakers or Texas for next year. DB bit.ly/10dkIdx

Word on the street is the Memphis Tigers might be adding Marshall transfer DeAndre Kane.

That's all I'm going to tweet for now. Back to focusing on the playoffs and draft. We'll get into free agency rumors once July gets closer.

The media circus that surrounded the "Dwightmare" was absurd. And he's mentioned numerous times he wants to avoid that this time around. DB

I do believe Dwight doesn't want a repeat of last summer, which is one of the reasons he's intent on keeping quiet this time around. DB

The bottom line is that Howard will take his time, there will be countless rumors, and then he'll make his decision. That's how it goes. DB

Saying this means he isn't loyal or any of that nonsense is a waste of time. Even Kobe threatened to leave via free agency at one point. DB

Being mad at Howard for testing free agency isn't fair. It's his right to do it, and nearly every player before him has done it too. DB

Also, Dwight Howard is going to take his time and meet with a lot of teams. Mitch Kupchak wanted him to make decision quickly, but he won't.

Ultimately the Lakers will welcome Dwight back w/ open arms no matter how long it takes him to decide. DB bit.ly/10dkIdx

Lakers front office has said they want to know what Dwight's going to do, but he's shown no indication of speeding up his process. DB

For those of you asking about the Cavaliers, Blazers, etc. in regards to Dwight Howard's free agency, they haven't even been considered.

One thing is for certain: even though LAL wants a quick answer, they won't get one from Dwight Howard. bit.ly/10dkIdx

Biggest difference in Spurs 2011 vs. 2013? I'd argue Kawai Leonard. He was awesome today. Takes a lot of pressure off Ginobili.

If I had to guess, I think Dwight Howard's free agency comes down to the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers.

How the Spurs created open shots in Game 1, and kept creating them. Conley, Green and more weigh in: cbsprt.co/12Fosrv

Nets are admittedly a long shot. All I'm saying is that they'll pursue Dwight Howard this summer. They've shown interest very recently.

Blog: LeBron James, Heat motivated by comments Frank Vogel didn’t make (with video from Vogel's presser) - bit.ly/12nsXVW

Hat tip to @Quincy Pondexter who keyed the run to get Grizz within 6 points. 17 points ties career high, new post-season career best.

For those saying the Nets can't do a sign-and-trade for Howard, they can as long as they're under apron amount after transaction's complete.

Spurs defense usually predicated about "take star X out of the game and let someone else beat us." They sold out defensively on Z-Bo.

Grizz have been resilient all year long and have battled back. No reason to think this will change. Major credit to Spurs who looked great.

The Atlanta Hawks will also pursue Dwight Howard. Their dream scenario is to sign Howard and Chris Paul. They can offer two max contracts.

Grizzlies could use a mulligan on Game 1. Seemed a bit overtaken by the gravity of the moment. Spurs in conference finals regularly.

Nets can sign-and-trade for Howard if their under the apron amount after transaction is complete. That means they must dump salary in deal.

The Nets will likely pursue Dwight Howard this summer. There's still mutual interest. But will the Lakers be open to a sign-and-trade?

Everybody knows only suckas win Game 1's

Dwight Howard will be weighing all of his options this summer. He's going shopping and considering all teams. Lakers will have competition.

As I wrote last week, Dwight Howard's interest in the Houston Rockets is real. He'll definitely consider them and speak with James Harden.

Oops! “@cwmehring: Barry Zito has a brother in Sacramento who is a RHP with the River Cats. How awesome is that? http://t.co/NDFfNh7FaC”

But essentially Dwight would have to agree to another tough year in L.A. before there's enough cleared cap space to make a splash. DB

In terms of money, the amount Howard would save in TX because of lack of income tax could compensate losing Bird Rights. DB

Lots of words (and numbers) on Heat-Pacers: on.nba.com/16Iz511

But the idea that Howard is intrigued by the possibilities in Houston isn't a new one. We've heard this before. DB bit.ly/112MONA

Now, does that mean Howard wants to leave and avoid the pressure of market like Los Angeles even w/ its benefits? I'm not so sure. DB

Tornado coverage on @weatherchannel - near Shawnee, OK...rough looking stuff

Dude, this made me grin so hard. MT @timmarchman: Frank Thomas riding the Red Line for 1st time: bit.ly/15ZHddQ

For the most part, for some reason Dwight hasn't been widely accepted in Los Angeles or by Laker fans. DB

Nobody would score at the rim ever against Dwight/Asik, but offensively it would be a trainwreck.

Spurs have changed a lot since 2011 loss to Grizzlies dlvr.it/3P5wLq

In terms of Dwight, it sounds like LAL still has the most off-court opportunities for him. But is that enough to entire him to return? DB

(I love Asik)

They would NOT work together at all.

Dwight wanting to play in a frontcourt with Asik doesn't speak well to his evaluation of talent and fit.

Could Sterling have been in San Antonio on other business, on a Sunday, two rounds after Clips eliminated? If so, that's a first for him

Things I learned today: Multiple NBA teams may try to outbid each other for Lionel Hollins & #Nets may have real interest in Scott Skiles

Clips, I'm told, have NOT asked to interview Spurs' in-demand Mike Budenholzer. Suggests Sterling was thus scouting free agent-to-be Hollins

So am I reading this correctly? LeBron is even flopping on innocuous comments from Frank Vogel.

Well, that sucked

Quick reaction: Spurs completely dominate Grizzlies in Game 1 of Western Conference Finals. cbsprt.co/19RQBwu

Spurs just performed open-heart surgery without the use of anesthesia.

Game 1 in the books. Spurs 105, Memphis 83. Spurs take 1-0 lead. Pop is going to be insufferable for the next two days.

*finishes story; turns on TV to see if San Antonio/Memphis is still a game*

That's the game, 105-83, Griz have 'em just where they want 'em.

Griz lose series opener for 3rd straight time. But this one different than Clips, Thunder. #SpursvGrizzlies

Heat stars offended by Frank Vogel remark even if there seems little offensive about it. Story at foxsportsflorida.com/nba/miami-heat…

May have read one Cinderella story too many: This was like her gown turned to rags at 9 pm, as prince asked her to dance. #SpursvGrizzlies

Grizzlies beat two teams that mostly play offense on one side of the floor. Spurs are the antithesis of that. Major adjustment.

It's one game. No question. But you knew Clips wouldn't keep outrebounding Griz, like they did in Game 1. Not their game. This IS Spurs game

Jon Leuer with as many points as Zach Randolph.

Playoff blowouts happen. They rarely carry over.

Tim Duncan and Zach Randolph have combined for 8 points. Spurs didn't need a big game from Duncan

Gallery: New York Knicks 99 – Indiana Pacers 106. po.st/AOLC0a

Spurs wore big boy pants. Griz wet theirs... plain and simple

Spurs throw a perfect game, Z-Bo with the golden sombrero.

what they ought to do is get MRI machines on the team plane

The Phillies say Ryan Howard is not traveling with the team. He will have an MRI in Philadelphia & will join the team later in the afternoon

More research by @danmccarneysaen shows Griz didn't give up 14 3's once last season, either

The length of Green and Leonard was a huge key today. They have the skills Pop's offense needs without being undersized. Huge.

DeJuan Blair laughing as he ran down court, after tipping in a missed 3.

If done as it appears, @memgrizz Zach Randolph finishes with season-low 2 points on 1of8 shooting and no FTs.Was averaging 19.7 ppg playoffs

This is getting silly now

Griz had not given up 14 3-pointers once this season; Spurs now 14-26 from range (hat tip to @danmccarneysaen

The Spurs have so many random dudes at the end of their bench.

Patty Mills goes ahead of Z-Bo on today's scoring list with his 3. #SpursvGrizzlies

That's the most 3s Memphis has given up in a game this season. Fourteen.

Just chalk this one up in the grizzaster column and get ready for game 2

Totally classless of Pop to run up the score by leaving Matt Bonner in.

Hollins waves white flag, empties bench and takes a seat

Well Grizzlies fans, just remember they lost game 1 of the other 2 series. Just one game, must adjust though. Way too many open threes

Z-Bo finishes the day 1-for-8, 2 pts. #SpursvGrizzlies

Z-bo takes a seat with 5:14 left; he's 1-8 FG, 2 pts., y7 RB

Sure enough! Jon Leuer!

Kevin Garnett is 37 years old today.

Griz led this 2-0. #Memories

Spurs 4th in the league in three-point shooting percentage in the regular season, tied with the Knicks. Not a random occurrence.

Tracy McGrady and Tim Duncan are the dream team of mop-up guys.

Two Grizz adjustments: switch the wing rotation, improve positioning to take away initial pass when they trap the p&r.

Just let TMac have one highlight dunk.

That's just disrespectful m.nydailynews.com/1.1343963

Putting in T-Mac this early should elicit a technical for taunting.

Spurs have that "thank goodness we don't have to chase Curry and Thompson around anymore" vibe to their game today.

TMac in 6:45 left

Question I'm wondering: How well would athletic Heat defense deal with Spurs system/ball movement?

What time does the Grizz game start?

I continue to see no good reason for this Grizzlies lineup, on either side of the ball.

... Note to Grizzlies: The whole, "flop in Game 1, then recover to win series" thing is a less viable option as the rounds move along.

Problem for Grizzlies is neither Clippers or OKC did good job of sticking with system after first option failed. They will adjust.

That was a crafty little move by Conley to create that contact

I really didn't think the Grizz could score enough points to beat San Antonio. So far, that's the problem for Memphis.

I expect the rest of the series to be a possession-by-possession bloodfest, but ...

Looks like #DCU on the good side of a botched call. So it does happen.

Now Austin Daye coming in. Lionel is searching deep

Austin Daye?

So as Austin Daye prepares to enter game, all Griz have played but Jon Leuer. And just you wait.

Here comes the kitchen sink. Mr. Austin Daye.

#SKC with tons o' possession. Ethan White just went hockey style with that sliding block. #DCU

#hardwork coach #Pop on how they have been able to hold #ZBo scoreless. #thefundamentals

Coming out of quarter break, Grizzlies apparently run something that's news to Lionel Hollins, who slams scorer's table in frustration.

Stop harping on Z-Bo being scoreless. It’s his entire game that’s off. Duncan only has 4 points but has 10 rebs, 4 ssts, 2 blocks.

Humberto Quintero headed to Miami with the Phillies. Chooch staying in Miami for an MRI on his hamstring. No decision on DL yet.

What is this lineup? Wroten AND Allen at the same time?

When Bayless passed that ball to Tony on the wing with 15 left on clock, Hollins wheeled and smacked the scorer's table.

Now I get why Bonner played so little during regular season. Pop saving him for the playoffs. #roberthorrytreatment

Pau Gasol tweeted his thoughts on Game 1 of the WCF, which features his younger brother Marc. bit.ly/112Bf95

Might be time for Hollins to consider starting Pondexter and saving Tony Allen for guarding Manu. Bayless can be backup PG.

FYI Matt Bonner has also played in Italy early in his career, with Messina in 2003-04: 19.2ppg and 9.3 shooting with 36.2% from the arc

Huge, huge, huge quarter close for Spurs. After lead cut to six, an 11-1 run. Lead up to 73-57 heading to 4Q.

Nevermind, Manu didn't decline the ball screen. Diaw snuck around at the last minute to beat Memphis' coverage.

In pregame presser, Pop responds thoughtfully when asked if he tells his team about Griz comebacks: "No."
