    I think the Spurs had a chance (2-1 against them in the regular season, 1 of them @ Oracle). If the Cavs had Love then I would've given them a chance. other than that..not really.

    The grizzlies have no point guard play right now. Udrih is playing hurt and not nearly as effective as he could be and Calathes is another tony allen.

    For the grizzlies to win they are going to have to get Mike back and get some scoring from guys other than Zach and Marc.

    Warriors are the only fully healthy team in the west, tough to see anyone beating them in a 7 game series. As good as they are offensively they are stout defensively, Rockets can cause problems for them because of our transition offense and get their bigs in foul trouble because of how much we get to the line, but it's another thing to stop Curry & Thompson.

    GSW has had good fortune all year. I'm hoping Memphis can win at least two.

    Shame that the best Western Conference ever has very little suspense as to who will win.

    Obviously it was a blow out, but I thought Memphis had a legit shot even late in the game, but they couldnt control the perimeter. Quick 3's would put them down big after cutting leads. I still dont think GS can contain Gasol/Zbo but Memphis missed layup after layup. Sell out to stop the 3 and make them beat you inside.

    Grizz desperately need Conley.

    Hell, they could use Rudy Gay back too...

    Everyone ready to give the title to Golden State. They have played the young and inexperienced Pelicans and a hobbled Grizzles team. Who knows what will happen if Conley comes back and is effective, or if Bogut rolls an ankle, etc. Clippers have no chance against them due to little depth, but I still think this current Rockets team could give GS some trouble. Especially since Bev could be back at that point.

    To beat GSW, we have have to be way more consistent then we have been this year. At our best we are scary, but I have yet to see us tie it all together for 2-3 quarters at a time.

    Oh how people forget. The grizzlies lost the first 2 games of their playoff series against the clippers the year after they blew a 20 point lead in the fourth quarter and it seemed as if the clippers just HAD the grizzlies number. They couldn't beat the clippers, it was over.

    The grizzlies then went on to win 4 in a row.

    Right now the warriors have supreme confidence and why shouldn't they? They are making it look easy. They don't have to do anything and they are up.

    Once the grizzlies get some filem on the warriors, I guarantee you that the warriors are going to start missing. This series is far from over.

    These Warriors are far better than those Clippers.
