3 seed vs 6 seed. I honestly think we would win in 7 games. See a 1 and done with any other matchup. What you think?
Love Memphis matchup We have a better chance with Memphis because they have an ok bench but not great like Clipper. Beside, we match up well with them so far, they are half court offense and we are good at half court defense and we could play full court which is our advantage.
Memphis is our best shot of going past the first round. Every other team we might be paired up with has one or two offensive weapons that alone are a match or close enough for James Harden. While their defense is among the best in the NBA the Rockets have a better shot at stopping Z-Bo and Gasol, then they have of any other team's top talent.
IMO it's Denver or Memphis. Both are extremly tough but they don't have any superstars so refs wont give these 2 teams the superstar calls. Rockets may have the slight advantage since we will have the only superstar playing in these matchups.
Yes, we have a 50/50 chance at worst against Memphis. We might actually be favored. They match up terribly against us, Asik shuts their bigs down in the paint so hard and we run them off the court in transition off their misses.
they had Gay when we crushed them in december. I think conley gave us the biggest fits that night. we were just getting into a groove then... I want the HOU/MEM 6/3 matchup for the playoffs
i think Memphis would be a heavy favorite simply because they have more overall talent and experience and Tony Allen on Harden. But i wouldn't completely rule it out. Memphis has the best half court D in the league but their transition defense seems a bit behind even after the trade. A bit of Dallas-GSW happening in there.
Conley did indeed give us the most trouble. I think Beverley would give him fits though if it comes down to it.
Yeah I think we can take on Memphis. Memphis hasn't been good since 2011. And honestly Shane Battier was the reason they when far in the playoffs. He fit in nicely with their system. We can take on the clippers as well, but the refs seem love Blake Griffin and Chris Paul a lot.
Harden would have to score 40 points a game. The grizzlies are better without gay so it would be interesting.
heck no, I would rather go Memphis or Spurs. Yes Duncan is great, but he is still old and I am confident in Asik to not let Duncan go off in the series. As for remaining spurs players, we match up really well. As for OKC, Durant and Westbrook will eat Parsons and Lin alive.
It would be fun to watch just for the clash of styles. I still want the Spurs. I know we almost certainly wouldn't beat them, but I think we could wear them out enough to seriously diminish their chances in the next round. And screw them.
Memphis is the only one of the top 4 teams that I give us a chance against..... Their offensive strengths play right into our defensive strengths and they don't have a top notch perimeter player to give us troubles and I don't think they shoot particularly well..... And on offense we'd just run them into the ground which I think would wear Zbo and Gasol down..... Although I know that Memphis is the better team.... I just don't think they match up well against us at all.....Zach and Gasol would have to be just unbearable for them to beat us. If Zach mirrors his playoff performance from a few years ago then we wouldn't stand a chance but I think its highly unlikely we would see that. Also I think beating a team like Memphis would give this team a belief that could make things interesting in the second round..... I don't think we stand a chance against the top teams because this team seems to get star struck against the Spur/Clippers/Thunder's of the league...
