Are we just gonna ignore the fact that nobody has a chance at beating OKC?

    Of course and I want and think y'all will win, but it's not really any more premature than saying a team is out of a series cuz it loses the first game. If that were the case, why bother making series 7 games long?

    I want y'all to win STRICTLY because the media slobs on Golden State's knobs like no other. I can't handle it for another series...

    And just like that...Rockets up 7.

    Clips better win. They clearly outmatch GSW. If they don't, CP3's legacy takes a huge hit.

    Agreed 100%. If they don't win, I think I'm done as a fan for a few years. Just couldn't handle it. I'll pay the bet I made with Kim and then I'm out.

    So many people overreacting to a fluke game. Memphis still has no chance.

    why not, memphis has a good game plan and the players to pull it off...slow half court offense with bruising inside players and a good PG in conley, and limit OKC's possessions....also, as good as KD and Westbrook are, they are both perimeter scorers, OKC has no interior scoring...it's hard to win in the playoffs on only jumpshots

    Underdogs, sure. NO chance? No way.

    Bruising defense always has a chance.

    OKC offense vs Memphis Defense is akin to Denver Broncos offense vs Seattle D...

    Manning is durant, D. Thomas is westbrook, J. Thomas is Ibaka

    Tony allen is richard sherman, ZBO is Kam chancellor, Mike Conley is Earl Thomas, Marc Gasol is Max Unger

    Memphis has a small chance but OKC will be so beat up by the experience that the Clippers will annhilate them in round 2.

    Memphis really punched OKC's lights out after taking their best shots. That's got to sting. OKC now has to win in Memphis, at least one game. That may be hard to do.

    To be honest, a team like Memphis could end Rockets Finals hopes if they were to somehow beat the Blazers then get by San Antonio. If Tayshaun Prince were healthy by then, it would be extremely tough.
