    I have no idea why you come on this forum and buddy up to the board like you do.

    If they only knew the crazy things you post on our board.

    It's not just the first game in the 2nd Round. We've seen almost 90 games of this. Obviously you have to play the games, and I'd love for the Warriors to be taken down, but I don't see it happening.

    Wait for Rockets. Yeah, they have to get past LAC, but I got a good feeling about this special squad.

    Do they ever have an "off" shooting night. They seem to stay perpetually torrid.

    Marc Gasol has to be one of the best interviewees in the nba to the point that he might need to slow himself down. He tells EVERYTHING

    Yeah, we have to be realistic. I know Memphis didn't have Conley, but that was a total dismantling today, from both the starters and the bench, on offense and on defense. The final score didn't even tell the story of dominance, the yawn fest of having no doubt who would win.

    The reason they make so many shots, people, is that they have really talented people who run a great offense until they get good shots. The only thing that can get in their way is Iggy shooting, or Curry turning the ball over.

    Randolph guarding on the perimeter will be a weakness for Memphis. Let's see how Memphis will do about this in game 2.

    the grizzlies were averaging 8 turnovers in the postseason. they had 16 today. also, with mike on the floor the grizzlies have a top 10 offense rating. Without him: it drops to 25.

    You might not think Mike makes that much of a difference, but he is our best player on the team and he's the only thing keeping teams from mauling zach and marc.

    With, or without Conley, the Grizzlies will be lucky to win a game, they just don't score enough to beat the Warriors.

    Memphis has to be lucky to reach 100pt a game, and the Warriors has to have a really bad night to score under 100pt.

    Yes, Kerr is a lot better and smarter than Jackson. But a lot of Warriors have improved their game from last year. It's a combination of hard work from the players and also believing in a system.

    "first round fodder"...just FYI last 4 times Warriors went to the Playoffs they got past the first round 3/4 times. Last year's playoffs if Bogut had played, might have been a different story. Warriors had to put David Lee at center for crying out loud and made Deandre Jordan looking like an Orlando Dwight Howard in that series.

    In round 1, game 2, the starters had a rough start and the bench had to bail them out. In game 3 they couldn't get anything going until end of 4th quarter. They are very good at scoring in bunches but they also give up large leads too easily. And at some point their lack of playoff experience is going to hurt them.

    But right now yea they seem like they are on a roll
