GG - That Memphis San Antone worries me .... excerpt from ***** !
A major factor in the Spurs' fourth-quarter struggles was the absence of Tim Duncan, who was ejected in the third period after picking up two technical fouls for arguing with official Joey Crawford. Duncan had 16 points, seven rebounds and six assists in 27 minutes before his second technical.
The loss snapped San Antonio's six-game win streak and was only the Spurs' second defeat in 14 games. They enter Monday's contest with a league-best 23-4 record since the All-Star break.
While the Spurs are coming off a tough loss, the last-place Grizzlies upset a streaking Denver team on Saturday.
Memphis had lost six in a row to clinch the league's worst record, but snapped both that skid and the Nuggets' eight-game winning streak with a 133-118 win on Saturday. Tarence Kinsey matched a career high with 28 points, leading six Grizzlies in double figures.
Kinsey, an undrafted rookie is averaging 19.3 points in 11 games since March 24.
"The only people that believe we can win is us," Kinsey said. "We've been beat up and let down all season, and to bounce back and get a win like this on a team that was on a hot streak ... feels real good."
The Grizzlies, who have won back-to-back games only once this season, might be hard-pressed to accomplish that feat again on Monday. Mike Miller has missed 10 straight games with tendinitis in both of his knees, while Rudy Gay has sat out the last three games with an ankle injury and could be done for the season. [quote]

after yesterdays experience I told myself I will never bet an NBA game again. I really believe its like playing roulette. Three time yesterday my teams had a 15+ point lead only to blow it in the 4th quater by quitting.
