The set-up: This series hasn't been close so far, with the Spurs winning 111-82 in Game 1 and then 96-82 in Game 2. Memphis head coach David Fizdale was fined $30,000 on Wednesday for unleashing a memorable rant about the officiating after Game 2 and one of his points was that Kawhi Leonard attempted more free throws (19) than his entire team (15). Memphis has been unable to control Leonard, who is averaging 34.5 points on 20-of-28 shooting from the floor while making all 28 free-throw attempts.As for Memphis, the team is shooting a combined 38.5% (29.8% on threes), while averaging 80.5 PPG. Simply put, that has to change!

San Antonio: Leonard just gets better and better offensively (he's already arguably the NBA's best defender) and appears ready to obliterate his previous best scoring postseason of his six-year career of 22.5 set last season. I'm not sure most people realize just how much the Spurs rely on Leonard. Parker has been a big surprise, averaging 16.5 PPG on 53.8% shooting so far but other than PF Aldridge (15.5 & 5.0), no other Spur is averaging more than 8.0 PPG for San Antonio in the first two games.

Memphis: The Grizzlies must get a bounce-back effort from All-Star center Marc Gasol, who scored 32 points in Game 1 but then shot 4-of-15 in Game 2 for 12 points. PG Conley is averaging 18.5 & 7.5 APG but shooting on 40.6% and PF Randolph is the only other contributor, averaging modest totals of 12.0 & 6.5 while shooting poorly, as well (38.7%).

The pick: Conley understood his coach's frustration but said the Spurs' long history of winning is a factor. "The Spurs are champions. They've won many times. They've done a lot of great things," Conley told reporters. "We haven't earned that yet. We have to get to that mountaintop, and we understand that. I understand that. That's why I'm not going to complain about it. I'm just going to keep my head down, keep focused, try to play through it the best I can and keep my teammates from letting it affect them mentally." I believe Conley's attitude, not that of his coach, is what the Grizzlies have to concentrate on. The Grizzlies are without defensive stalwart Tony Allen (calf) and have thrown a variety of defenders at Leonard with no success. I'm not sure Memphis can stop Leonard. However, Memphis can play significantly better on the offensive end and should remember that it was 2-0 at home against the Spurs in the regular season, winning by an average of 11.5 PPG.
