Mike Miller's Off-Season Zumba Workout.

Not a business expert, but choosing a NBA player that has been plagued by injuries throughout most of career to be your representative, is probably not the best way to get people to sign up for your Zumba classes. Then again, what do I know the business of dance fitness? I mean I have only messed with hip-hop abs once or twice in my life and it didn't work out too well. I did learn some hot new dance moves, which I later learned to be socially unacceptable, but that's a story for another time.

Tony Allen will play lock-down defense against your kids.

Banned from all Summer League games, the Tony Allen story. (Getty Images)

Tony Allen never stops playing defense. From The Oklahoman:

He was on the basketball court, so, naturally, Tony Allen couldn't help himself.
Lathered in sweat, the Memphis Grizzlies’ defensive savant was going hard, grit and grind as he calls it, blocking 10-year-olds and posting up 12-year-olds. 

One kid, who dared attempt to cross up Allen at his own basketball camp — this the first ever in Stillwater — had his pocket picked in a drill, with a playful Allen trash-talking him immediately after the steal: “First-Team All-D, baby, First-Team All-D.” 

“I’m actually catching my breath, because one of the kids was pretty good,” Allen admitted after a spirited 3-on-3 game. “Any time I get on the hardwood, I’m competing 110 percent. I even fouled a kid today. That was a little rough, but I got to win.”

Say what you will about Tony Allen, but I am on his side. Have you blocked a kid before? The thrill of crushing a child's soul, as you reach out and block his shot, while yelling "GET OUT OF MA HOUSE" at the top of your lungs, injecting fear deep into their veins, as you watch them hesitate to come near you. It's really the best feeling in the world. Against kids, I am the greatest basketball player ever and also the worst person ever. My 12 year old cousins will tell you that.

Super glad to see the White Chocolate is still killing it at the age of 37. And the guy finished it too, it could have been you, LaFrentz. (I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU.)

Roy Hibbert beats his own Gatorade challenge in 4 seconds.

I don't know if you guys are in the loop on this whole Roy Hibbert challenge thing, but in light of the Indiana Pacer's Game 7 loss to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, a six second video of Roy Hibbert chugging an entire 20 oz. bottle of Gatorade on national television made its way on to the internet. And like all things on the internet, when given time, it naturally develops into a global 6 seconds or less Gatorade chugging challenge (duh). The results were hilarious, but in a midst of all the submissions, no official victor was ever declared, that is until Roy Hibbert came on to ESPN's Sports Nation to beat his record by a wholly 2 seconds.

While I am very impressed by Roy's new found "talent", as I nearly choked to death in my attempt, (For the record, I totally thought I could do this with ease — big mistake, I ended up having to clean up about 14 oz. of blue Gatorade off the carpet. I can still smell it right now, along with the chlorine in the cleaning agent.) it's kind of lame to win your own challenge, but also kind of smart, I guess.

Roy is such a giant dork. Emphasis on the giant.

Quincy Pondexter scored a date with Miss Tennessee 2012 through twitter.

A wise man on TV once told me that "love speaks louder than words," so I just going to let Quincy Pondexter's tweets tell the story of how a simple question on twitter scored him a date with Miss Tennessee.

Who won Miss Tennessee this year?

Oh totally single? Ditto ... Date? Lol @misstn2012

@quincypondexter you got it! We've got an audience waiting apparently!
— Chandler Lawson (@MissTN2012) May 29, 2013

Boom. And that's how you do it, kids. Who knows, maybe someday this first date will blossom into the greatest love story of our generation, and they will one day, get a chance to explain to their kids, the story of how they met. Of course, by that time, twitter probably won't be around anymore. So the kids (assuming they will have multiple children) will have no idea what they are talking about; when you say that Daddy got his first date with Mommy with just three messages on a social platform that only allows a 140 characters per message. The kids won't get it at first, but once they realized their dad could spit hotter fire than five Dylans combined, Quincy will be immortalized and worshiped as a God among men, or at least the coolest dad in the world.

Lionel Hollins really wants Jerryd Bayless to take a seat.

TAKE A SEAT. Via: SB Nation

I would be mad too if Lionel Hollins puts his super gross fingers on me. I don't blame you, Jerryd Bayless. Yes, you should listen to your coach, but you have to speak up for yourself in the appropriate situation. Nobody wants to be anywhere near those fingers.

Manu Ginobili's beautiful bounce pass through Tayshaun Prince's legs.

Goodness, Manu Ginobili is a genius. He hasn't been all that great in this postseason, (probably because he is just taking it easy on the mortals, before revealing himself as a deity in the battle against a certain cyborg and his pet T-Rex) but he is always good for something ridiculous like this per game.

Heyyy there, what are you two doing...?

Gregg Popovich is really worried about "turnovers" in his interview.

Considering the Spurs gave up the ball 8 times to the Grizzlies for a total of 8 steals in the first quarter, I think Coach Pop's answer is very appropriate.

Okay, Tim. I know the UEFA Cup was on earlier before your game, but a western conference finals game on the road, is not the right place and right time to practice your kick.

Memphis Grizzlies vs. San Antonio Spurs Game 2 Recap and Analysis.

USA Today

In spite of Memphis's valiant comeback effort in the second half to force overtime, the hole they dug themselves early into the game was just too big to overcome, as the San Antonio Spurs win 93-89 to take a 2-0 lead in the series.

The Grizzlies were off to a better start in game 2, holding the Spurs to only 18 points in the first quarter, after allowing 31 in their first meeting. Their defense was without a doubt an improvement over whatever it was in game 1. On pick and roll coverage, they switched appropriately, and hedged in small doses (Memphis should never hedge hard in any scenario due to their bigs' lack of athleticism, and inability to move laterally for more than a step). They reduced over-helping on penetration, rotated well for the most part, and thankfully, the Spurs didn't hit a million threes.

Defensive adjustments aside, I am disappointed in Lionel Hollins for making absolutely zero changes to the starting line up and offense until the second half. Don't get me wrong, Tayshaun Prince and Tony Allen are great defenders, but for what they give you on that end of the floor, it is not worth keeping if it means decimating your offense. Especially, Tayshaun, who has completely disappeared in this series, making no impact on either end of the floor. Same could be said for Tony Allen, but with everything he did at the end of this game, I will give him a pass. Still, he should never do anything on offense that requires dribbling.

Playing these together, falls right into San Antonio's game plan and worse, it gives away any space for Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol to work in. The Spurs are more than happy to help off, of the two most offensively plagued Memphis players to double down on the bigger threats. And it is not even just Prince and Allen, the Spurs don't care who is in at the 2 and 3 spot, they are willing to sacrifice open looks, as long as they have Zach and Marc contained in the low post. Hollins has to make San Antonio pay, by playing his more offensively equipped players (Bayless and Poindexter), which he did later, contributing to the second half comeback.

In the second quarter, the Spurs, led by Tony Parker, who finished with 15 points (6-20), 5 rebounds and a career high 18 assists, went on a tremendous run to end the first half with a 15 point lead over their opponents. The Grizzlies, without Mike Conley (18 points (6-14), and 4 assists) due to foul trouble, were out of sync. They reverted back to their old bad defensive habits, and couldn't even buy a single bucket in the quarter, shooting 24 percent from the field. They scored only 1 point (Jerry Bayless's made free throw) in the last 4:44 of the second quarter, getting outscored 31 to 18. The Spurs did most of their damage on the open floor, scoring with ease in transition to take advantage of the slow-footed Memphis team.

But things would take a quick turn in the third quarter, as both teams took turns trading blows, hitting everything in sight. Despite of this, the game still never felt close, even when the Grizzlies cut the lead to 10 to end the third. That is, until the Spurs' 4th quarter collapse.

With the success of the Conley, Bayless, Poindexter, Randolph, and Gasol line-up, the Grizzlies slowly trimmed the lead, while holding their own on defense. Bayless, who was supposedly the defensive burden of the group, stepped up big in the most critical stretch, and scored 18 points on 18 shots off the bench to give the Grizzlies a boost in the shooting department. On the other end, the Spurs went stone cold, shooting 21 percent from the field for only 9 points in all 12 minutes of the quarter. Memphis had 21 points. I don't know if San Antonio was rattled or tired, but when Boris Diaw entered the game for Tim Duncan, who left the game with 5 fouls, they just didn't look like themselves. They made defensive errors and stopped doubling down on Z-BO for short periods and he took advantage, completing a huge and-1 play to cut the lead to 4 with 52 seconds to play. Soon after that, Manu Ginobili turns the ball over, pulls Tony Allen down in mid-air for a flagrant 1 foul, costing his team total of 4 points (Allen's free throws, followed by Mike Conley's game tying floater) and the game was headed to overtime.

There wasn't much to say in overtime, both teams were gassed at this point, and the only well rested player left was Tim Duncan. He went off for 6 of the Spurs' total 8 points in OT, grabbed 2 boards and got a potential game saving block on Gasol to give his team a 2-0 series lead before heading to Memphis for game 3 on Saturday.

A Few Observations:

The Grizzlies have 2 distinct advantages: rebounding and defense. They out-rebounded the Spurs 60 to 46 in this game, the main difference was on the offensive glass, where they won 19 to 4, but Memphis only scored on 4 of those rebounds, that's 8 points on 19 offensive rebounds. They have to make the best out of these opportunities if they want to move on to the next round. On defense, as long as they can be their 'second-best in the league at defending threes in the regular season' selves, they will be okay.

It maybe too late, but Memphis should try a defensive scheme similar to Indiana, where they force every drive into their best defensive player. With the Spurs constantly exploiting Zach Randolph on the pick and roll, it might be wise to do that with Marc Gasol, since he is rarely targeted on those plays.

Kenyon Dooling should not see a minute in this series, at his age, he gives the Grizzlies nothing, and if I am Lionel Hollins, I am not sure if I would be okay with a Dooling and Bayless perimeter line of defense.

Last thing, I would love Ed Davis to play Darrell Arthur's minutes. Between the two, Ed is arguably the better offensive player (Darrell hasn't been the same since his injury), and is definitely more physically gifted to defend against the smaller Spurs line up. Ed's length and speed would be a huge improvement over Darrell in any pick and roll situations.

The Memphis Grizzlies misses seven consecutive layups in one possession.

Had the Grizzlies scored on one of their 7 attempts, they would have only finished with 3 points (including Jerryd Bayless's made free throw) in the last 4:44 of the second quarter. They shot 24 percent from the field in that quarter, and 26 percent for the half. Yea, it was bad.
