    What's the "fire round"? Is that where they round up a bunch of Memphis hicks and spray 'em with a firehose to cleanse them of fleas and lice?

    One thing that will come into play that did not against the Clippers with Westbrook out, perimeter pressure. You can't press Paul or even force the ball out of his hands. He is just to good of a ball handler.

    I went with Grizz in 5 because I am respecting Durant to go off and carry them for one. We will see if Collison can manhadle ZBo again.

    ZBo/Griffin was the pre-lim. They actually respect each other. ZBo/Perk is another thing because they actually do not like each other.

    Oks's length gives ZBo fits.

    I put Grizz in 6, mainly because OKC has that HCA.

    If Martin can carry his play into Sunday, it'll be a good fight. I don't think Tony Allen can stay with Durant the whole time Durant plays.

    Gasol v. Perkins and Randolph v. Ibaka is going to be hella fun.

    I hope Conley abuses the ish out of Fish.

    So ~90% of voters here think the Grizzlies are gonna win, yet betfair has OKC and Memphis with identical title odds as of right now... interesting...

    You guys must think the Clippers are awfully good since there are so many picks for Memphis in 5 and the Clippers took them to 6. Trust me, I've watched the Clippers all year and, like 'what' said, they are pretty bad and rely on CP3 too much. They had a period during the year where they did very well but it was largely due to a bench rotation and players that barely got minutes in the playoffs (thanks Vinny!) So I think the product they put in the first round was subpar. As such, I've got to believe OKC is better than them-- a lot better actually-- and this series will be an eye-opener for those picking Memphis in a runaway.

    i want a competitive series but ultimately i want the grizzlies to win. 'what's constant smugness and rocket****alking when feeling under-attack makes it hard to root for them though. he acts like he's the official pubic relations spokesperson for them on this message board like its his duty so he gets overly defensive. so irritating.

    Yes he did and that is why he will always be a failure in this league. One of the dirtiest players in the game.
