Despite the Indiana Pacers having a president and general manager in place, a franchise official called the San Antonio Spurs for permission to speak to assistant general manager Dennis Lindsey about a prominent front-office job, Eastern Conference sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Jim Morris, who runs the organization’s business side, reached out to Spurs officials to talk to Lindsey, sources said. The call was received with trepidation, sources said, as Lindsey and the Spurs made clear there would be no conversations as long as Pacers president Larry Bird and GM David Morway still occupied their current jobs.

It is unclear whether the call was made with the blessing of Bird, or made discreetly on behalf of owner Herb Simon.

Pacers president Larry Bird is expected to meet with Simon in the next several days to discuss his future with the franchise. Bird’s contract expires in July, and league sources believe Simon wants Bird to continue at a lower salary.

Bird wants to be sure he still answers directly to Simon, not other business operations and financial people within the Pacers, sources said.

That's shitty.

Gasol's jumper, gotdam

 

[Nabs]

love it

 

[Nobility]

This game is over.

 

[NomarTyme]

hahahahahahhahahhahah

 

[Omiee]

woow memphis is not letting this lead go, i was NOT expecting this from them.


17 POINT LEAD !! DAMNNN!!

 

[Mothman91]

Alright guys, what's the best semi fast-food places to eat from while watching the game?

Just got Chipotle and while eating my burrito and watching this game, it's niceeee.

 

[Brinbe]

Jesus, save some miraculous shit, this is over... Refs can't save them now

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Scariest 8th seed ever?

 

[bgassassin]

So far it looks like the bench battle will be what separates the teams.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

If they keep playing like this, I really wouldn't be surprised to see them in the Finals.

I agree...I just...just seems crazy on paper.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Mike Tirico isn't biased with his call.

Not at all.

 

[Cloudy]

Refs will have to work really hard to save OKC now

 

[Straightballin]

LOL I know Z-Bo is great but I told you guys that Perk/Ibaka frontline was mad overrated defensively. Perk is slow and heavy footed and Ibaka can't defend man to man for shit. Z-Bo can tear them up, and if Pau grows balls he'd do the same.

Did anyone think otherwise?

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Scariest 8th seed ever?

The 99 Knicks made the Finals. So, no. Not yet anyway.

 

[bgassassin]

He was until this year. This year he was great. Anyone that says we are better without him didn't watch us play the second half of Jan and Feb till he got hurt.

Pretty much this. The team really began to hit its stride before he went out.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

i was NOT expecting this from them.

Don't think anyone was =/

 

[Omiee]

So when is the stern call going to come on. would be interesting to see if the refs are going to try to let them back in this game by giving them a lot of ft's

 

[dream]

I wouldn't even be mad if the Grizzlies beat the Celtics in the finals. What a great story this team is telling.

 

[Adam Blade]

Did anyone think otherwise?

PeonessGondo did.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Scariest 8th seed ever?

yes, because they have what few teams in the league have: a PAIR of *extremely* capable big men that can do anything they want inside of 10'.

Lakers are the only team left in the playoffs with players who can match up directly.

 

[Jamesfrom818]

If the Grizz somehow got to the Finals and won, would Zach Randolph be the Finals MVP?

 

[exarkun]

thunder's body language is just piss poor. They look defeated.

I had a strange sense of deja vu though, did the Grizz lose to the Thunder by giving up a lead in the regular season? I just had a weird feeling the thunder are going to come back.

 

[NomarTyme]

Don't think anyone was =/

Is he going to rescue Zelda in this pic?

 

[Shadow780]

He was until this year. This year he was great. Anyone that says we are better without him didn't watch us play the second half of Jan and Feb till he got hurt.

I'm saying this because he increases the number of possessions that stops the ball in his hand and isos, there's not gonna be those interior passings and cuts more often in the current Grizzs.

Maybe I'm wrong.

 

[Adam Blade]

I don't think even reilo could have foreseen how much Z-Bo has improved since his Jailblazer days.

 

[Gigglepoo]

That's shitty.

I agree. I'd like them to continue forward with Bird and Morway. It's a well-built team that's only missing a superstar. It's not like you can blame Bird or Morway for that.

The 99 Knicks made the Finals. So, no. Not yet anyway.

Doesn't count. And no, I'm not joking.

 

[NewLib]

Scariest 8th seed ever?

I still would say it would be the 1999 Knicks even though the East was especially weak that year.

 

[Bread]

It's great seeing a new face in the playoffs doing big things, anyone think they have a chance against the Mavs or Lakers if they go on to beat the Thunder?

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

I don't know. Maya Moore probably benches more than him.

Haha that's true. KD could also probably wear a dress better.

 

[jjasper]

I'm saying this because he increases the number of possessions that stops the ball in his hand and isos, there's not gonna be those interior passings and cuts more often in the current Grizzs.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Perviously to this year yes. But this year after his summer with the USA team he became a much better team player.

And this game isn't over, OKC will make one more run.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

If the Grizz somehow got to the Finals and won, would Zach Randolph be the Finals MVP?

considering nobody left in the East can guard him, I'm gonna say yes. were they to win, of course.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I mentioned this before, but the Knicks traded Z-Bo yet he's better than Amare? LOL

 

[Herpes Reasons]

damn, this memphis team is legit.
who's the don on memphis-age?!

 

[woodchuck]

I don't think even reilo could have foreseen how much Z-Bo has improved since his Jailblazer days.

ive never seen him pass the ball before this year

 

[Adam Blade]

I mentioned this before, but the Knicks traded Z-Bo yet he's better than Amare? LOL

We traded him away too.

ive never seen him pass the ball before this year

Yeah, he didn't when he was with the Clips...

 

[threenote]

I bow to my Grizzlies overlords.

 

[NomarTyme]

Good god sit mayo.

 

[jjasper]

Mayo on fire.

 

[Omiee]

It's great seeing a new face in the playoffs doing big things, anyone think they have a chance against the Mavs or Lakers if they go on to beat the Thunder?

mavs def, lakers no.
unless gasol is going to come out and be scared of his brother

 

[Cloudy]

Mayo has to make that last 3.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

I wouldn't even be mad if the Grizzlies beat the Celtics in the finals. What a great story this team is telling.

I'm right there with you. If LA loses to Boston I'll be upset if they lose to the Heat I'll be suicidal but if they lost to the Grizz Ill be inexplicably sad and happy all at once

 

[Gigglepoo]

mavs def, lakers no.
unless gasol is going to come out and be scared of his brother

Didn't Tony Allen do a good job against Kobe in 2008?

 

[jjasper]

 

[Ickman3400]

mavs def, lakers no.
unless gasol is going to come out and be scared of his brother

It's possible since the hornets got to him.

 

[bgassassin]

I'm saying this because he increases the number of possessions that stops the ball in his hand and isos, there's not gonna be those interior passings and cuts more often in the current Grizzs.

Maybe I'm wrong.

I agree with this, but strangely enough the Grizzlies were statistically better defensively before he went out which balanced that out.

 

[threenote]

mavs def, lakers no.
unless gasol is going to come out and be scared of his brother

This made me lol. Hahaha. It's possible, actually.

 

[Brinbe]

oh boy, here we go...

 

[Owzers]

Grizzlies can't go back to relying on jump shots, that's how they lose games.
