    I really can't wait to not watch a single game of this snooze festival.

    Where is the poll option for "rewatch complete remastered 'TJ Hooker" on Blu Ray instead"?

    I believe Spurs are playing blazers, according to nba.com.

    Check that, they have yet to update the Memphis win.

    Memphis in 7.

    Really wished SAS would have been in the 5th seed. Even though, I can almost guarantee a Spurs sweep, I really wanted the Warriors and Spurs to be in the same bracket.

    This is should be a dozier. Each team is kinda limping and not playing very well.

    But Grizzlies in 6. Lillard and LMA will each have a game that they will win.

    Grizzlies in 7, then I hope they just beat up Golden State before they lose to them.

    Whoever wins this series will be no more than cannon fodder for the Warriors in the 2nd round.

    Memphis has been struggling, but they shouldn't have too much trouble with this beat up Portland team.

    Grizzlies in 6.

    With a healthy Gasol, I would've picked Memphis.

    I got Portland in 6.

    I'm amazed at how many think Grizzlies will win, Matthews is out but with Lilliard and Aldridge vs. Conley (injured) and Z-Bo, I feel confident that the Blazers take this series.

    Doesn't make jack, it's about now and past play-off performances:
    - we know Lilliard is a stud and clutch
    - LMA goes nuts in the play-offs
    - deeper bench than Memphis
    - Memphis is limping and stumbled into the play-offs
    - Memphis' injuries seem more serious

    LMA went nuts for exactly one series.
    Lillard is clutch but memphis has some fantastic guard defenders.
    Memphis has the deeper bench, especially with Afflalo out a couple of games.
    If you think memphis limped into the playoffs, check out Portland.
    You wanna see a concerning injury? Check out Batum's non contact leg injury in the 2nd to last game.

    Memphis in 6
