    I see Warriors winning it all, no one can seem to stop them and Lebron won't have enough help. For the Rockets sake if the happen to get by SAS/Clips i picked Grizzlies in 7. One can hope.

    I honestly see Warriors in 5 though.

    The Warriors will struggle against physical play a size inside, which the Grizz have. The issue I have with Memphis is that I am not sure they can score enough.

    Will Conley's bruises heal quickly?
    Will Courtney Lee play like an actual NBA player against Golden State for once?
    Will Golden State face adversity for the first time this season?

    Maybe

    As soon has his swelling goes down, Conley will play (with a mask). My bet is on game 2.

    If no Conley, then Warriors with the gentleman's sweep most likely.

    I think the Warriors would win in 6 or 7 if everyone's healthy. They are just on another level this year.

    Pulling for Memphis though.

    No conley, Warriors in 6.

    With Conley I think Memphis wins. People really underestimate and for once I agree with what Charles had to say. Z-Bo and Gasol will bang...ALL game long. They are going to make you work on offense and defense all game long. That's why I think with Conley...

    With Conley Memphis has 3 great perimeter defenders, Conley/Lee/Allen.

    I'm going Warriors in 7 because Conley will miss some games it seems and that will hurt them.

    I picked Warriors in 6. But I'll be rooting for Memphis. If the Rockets advance to the WCF and the Grizzlies do us a huge favor, then we'd have home court the entire way(I don't see Atlanta emerging from the East).

    Memphis. They steal game one. GS shots will not fall in game one.

    Warriors in 6. I could see them finishing the Grizzlies in 5 but 6 is the safer bet.

    Randolph likes to bang and Draymond Green will bang with him, I expect some technical fouls.

    LOL, draymond green is no kendrick perkins. You are in fantasyland if you think green is going to challenge zbo like that.

    Draymond is undersized compared to Randolph, but don't underestimate his heart and that guy hates losing. Draymond will NOT be intimated by Randolph.

    I'm optimistic that conley will be ready for game 1, but hopefully he can come back for game 2 and really try for the split.

    why is everybody assuming Warriors will have an easy series? i'm picking Memphis if conley doesn't miss any games. I have watched every single warriors playoff games and pelis were really hanging with them most of the time. gasol has great advantage over bogut and Zbo is pretty tough to go against.Memphis in 7

    As long as Green doesn't get into foul trouble, I think Warriors have the advantage at the power forward position. Randolph has to guard Green out at the perimeter, good luck with that.

    ZBo has already made Green his female dog this season. All that bravado you saw against the Pelicans will be gone.
