Window closing? Don't tell Spurs chairman Peter Holt expressnews.com/sports/spurs/a…

Mike Monroe

No urban legend, Leonard growing into Spurs star expressnews.com/sports/spurs/a…

Mike Monroe

No celebs, no problem for Bonner, Spurs; .@Jeff McDonald explains expressnews.com/sports/spurs/a…

Jeff McDonald

From Elias: Only four teams in NBA history have lost Game 1 of a Conference Finals by 22-plus points and went on to win the series.

Jeff McDonald

Trying to come up with a catchy nickname for these a.m. links dumps. Leaning towards "The Morning Constitutional."

Jeff McDonald

How rough was Z-Bo's Game 1? So rough he couldn't even shower without screwing up, writes @Mike Finger expressnews.com/sports/spurs/a…

Jeff McDonald

The ever-versatile @tom_orsborn catches up with Peter Holt, who doesn't see Spurs' title window shutting just yet expressnews.com/sports/spurs/a…

Jeff McDonald

Young Kawhi Leonard has been so good, he's got Tim Duncan quoting Urban Dictionary, writes @Mike Monroe expressnews.com/sports/spurs/a…

Jeff McDonald

Just as Z-Bo's entire 2011 series against Spurs was out of the ordinary, so was his Game 1 flop, writes @Buck Harvey expressnews.com/sports/columni…

About last night: With threes and D, Spurs get off to rip-roaring start against Grizzlies expressnews.com/sports/spurs/a…

Jeff McDonald

Tony Parker has probably been Spurs' best playoff performer ... but part of me wants to say Kawhi Leonard. Guy has been a flat-out stud.

Jeff McDonald

With threes and D, Spurs get off to rip-roaring start against Grizzlies expressnews.com/sports/spurs/a…

Jeff McDonald

I think it would be foolish to assume there is another game quite like Game 1 this series. Spurs saying all the right things afterward.

Jeff McDonald

Often, blowouts don't tend to carry over at this stage of the playoffs. Spurs will need to play well again (obviously) to go up 2-0.

Jeff McDonald

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

Jeff McDonald

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.

Jeff McDonald

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

Jeff McDonald

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

Spurs 105, Grizzlies 83: Fiesta de triples - by Dan McCarney blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/20…

Jeff McDonald

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

Jeff McDonald

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

Good win today We have to stay focus and play the same way. #playoffs

Spurs vs. Grizzlies Game 1 photo gallery (more photos still on the way) blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/20…

Jeff McDonald

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.

Jeff McDonald

Jon Leuer with as many points as Zach Randolph.

Mike Monroe

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

Mike Monroe

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

Jeff McDonald

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

Jeff McDonald

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

Mike Monroe

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

Mike Finger

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

Mike Monroe

T-Mac for Kawhi Leonard ... and the crowd goes wild ... not for Kawhi, who has 18, but for T-Mac #GoFigure

Jeff McDonald

T-Mac. Former NBA scoring champion. Playoff victory cigar.

Jeff McDonald

... 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.

Jeff McDonald

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

Jeff McDonald

9:26, Z-Bo with first basket of the Western Conference finals. Those of who who had the under win.

Jeff McDonald

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

Jeff McDonald

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

Jeff McDonald

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

Jeff McDonald

Either that, or 20 years from now Spurs fans will be referring to this as "The Matt Bonner Game."

Jeff McDonald

Although I guess this isn't small. Arthur's in. So never mind.

Jeff McDonald

Z-Bo playing like utter dog droppings at least allows Memphis to go small vs. Bonner lineup w/o feeling bad about it.

Mike Monroe

#RealCoachPop just had a 15-second whisper in Duncan's ear, then slapped him on the shoulder

Jeff McDonald

Feels like Spurs are still going to need their stars (ahem, Duncan) to play like stars in order to finish this one off.

Mike Monroe

.@Manu Ginobili picks a good time to make his 1st bucket, a 3-pointer following 10-0 Griz run

Mike Monroe

You can feel the tension in the SA crowd at ATT

Jeff McDonald

Spurs fans have to hope, 20 years from now, they're not referring to the as "The Quincy Pondexter Game." Spurs lead down to 62-56.

Jeff McDonald

Quincy Pondexter happened quickly.

Jeff McDonald

Here's a fun stat: All this, and Tim Duncan has four points, is 2 of 7.

Jeff McDonald

Anybody want to ring Zach Randolph's room and let him know the Western Conference finals have started?

Jeff McDonald

You can't put Allen on Parker if Mike Conley is going to totally forget he's supposed to be guarding Danny Green.

Jeff McDonald

That didn't look like an accidental trip. But Tony Allen helped up Tony Parker and smiled, so we're all good I guess.

Jeff McDonald

Also worth reminding some of you giddy yahoos: A 14-point lead at halftime of an NBA playoff game is totally surmountable.

Jeff McDonald

Quick prediction: Spurs will win every single half Matt Bonner outscores Zach Randolph 9-0.

Jeff McDonald

Spurs lead 51-37 heading into second half.

Jeff McDonald

After that Manu call at the end of 1Q, Spurs have lost all right to complain about calls. Seems like they're some tough whistles now.

Jeff McDonald

Nearly two full quarters in the books, and Zach Randolph is scoreless.

Jeff McDonald

Pop called a 20-second to get on Duncan's butt. Probably going to bench him again if he doesn't shape up.

Jeff McDonald

This is going way back, but Ed Davis used to give the Spurs a little bit of trouble back in his Toronto days.

Jeff McDonald

So far, Tony Parker has been the best player on the floor. Spurs awfully tough to beat whenever that is the case.

Jeff McDonald

Grizzlies are playing pretty hard, for a team that walked to the arena this morning, then played extra 48 minutes before tip. So, not very.

Jeff McDonald

"Thank goodness, Tim Duncan in for Matt Bonner." -- Z-Bo, probably.

Jeff McDonald

Fans behind me insist on telling Marc Gasol "you're the best brother" after every timeout. I mean, how's he supposed to feel about that?

Mike Monroe

Raise your hand if you thought Spurs would have 14-6 RB advantage about now ... not so fast, #RealCoachPop

Jeff McDonald

I'm assuming Memphis will get some things together a make a game of this eventually. Right?

Jeff McDonald

The Red Rodman, out-muscling Z-Bo.

Jeff McDonald

And here's Parker.

Jeff McDonald

It's a mostly starting Memphis unit against Spurs' subs. We'll see how long this keeps up.

Jeff McDonald

Joseph with offensive tap-ins now. Spurs are playing harder in addition to better.

Jeff McDonald

Pop has often called big first-half leads his worst nightmare. He might as well be coaching in his underwear right now.

Jeff McDonald

Grizzlies have been pretty good this season mounting comebacks. But not all that good at scoring. Interested to see how this plays out.

Jeff McDonald

Hard to imagine how that quarter could have gone better for the Spurs'. Lead up to 31-14.

Mike Monroe

Not sure why @Manu Ginobili gets to shoot 3 FTs but he made 2 of 3 #balldontlie

Jeff McDonald

Dumb foul by Arthur, even if it wasn't a foul at all and no way in the act of shooting.

Jeff McDonald

And Matt Bonner is re-enacting the 3-point shootout against them. Wiiiiide open.

Jeff McDonald

Memphis, we'll remind, was second in the league in the regular season at defending the 3-point line.

Jeff McDonald

Gary Neal gets, I think, the first block-charge of his career. They should stop the game and give him the ball.

Mike Monroe

Juuuust a little outside for @Manu Ginobili

Mike Monroe

double-figure lead allows Pop to sub out Duncan with 3 min. left in 1st; vs. Dubs he was going full 1st quarter

Mike Monroe

first 'run' of game for Griz, back to back baskets

Mike Monroe

There were entire quarters in Spurs-Griz 2011 series when Spurs didn't score 18; they've got 18 with 6:27 left in 1st today

Jeff McDonald

Spurs open 7 of 8. If they can keep up this percentage, they can probably win the series.

Jeff McDonald

Spurs up 12 points midway through 1Q. You know Pop hates that.

Jeff McDonald

7:21 left in the 1Q, Spurs finally go a possession without scoring.

Mike Monroe

Tim Duncan with a block-steal to set up fast break resulting in 2 FTs for @Tony Parker

Jeff McDonald

Spurs have gotten two open/semi-open 3-point looks in first three possessions. Going to be key in the series.
