    I take OKC in 6, just because it's tough to vote against them; but Memphis has been tearing it up since they got Gasol back. Imagine how good they would have been if Gasol had been healthy this year. Maybe Memphis would have grabbed the #2 seed (well, top 4 anyway).

    This series I will watch.

    Going with the upset and Grizz in 6. They have the low post presence that OKC can't contend with while, Memphis has the perimeter defenders to make life difficult for Durant and Westbrook. Also feel like this series can be the beginning of some friction between Durant and Westbrook.

    I don't think this will be close. OKC is motivated and memphis cannot generate enough offense. I predict OKC in 5.

    Memphis are a scary team to face. They beat the Thunders (albeit hurt) last year and they upset the Spurs that one year. Will OKC blow up if they are knocked out early?

    This series might really depend on how westbrook and durant are able to get other players involved. I really don't think it benefits the thunder to try and overpower the grizzlies like westbrook is apt to do at the expense of the role players. Steven Adams, Lamb, Reggie Jackson all of these players, if allowed to be in the offense, will be too much for the grizzlies to handle.

    If the grizzlies can make kd and westbrook play hero ball, the grizzlies have the edge i think.

    Memphis will be a tough task...but Durant and his pet Zebras got this in 6.

    I think with Westbrook, OKC should handle Grizzlies in 5 or less. This series could go 6 but fully healthy OKC should make this a quick series in Thunder favor.

    I really think Memphis is going to win this one. But even if they don't, they will push OKC deep and beat them up a bit before they go into round 2 vs the Clippers.
