    You keep saying the Clippers took them six games like it was a close series. The Clips won the first two and then Memphis turned it up and blew them out in three of the next four and won all four games by 10 or more points. The first two games count but after that Memphis dominated and looked impressive doing it.

    According to this site: carbonsports.ag


    The thunder are favored -145 to +125 for griz.

    So according to this site thunder have about a 60% chance of winning and the grizz have a 44% chance of winning.

    How do they come up with this stuff?

    They predicted OKC sweeping the Rockets even without Westbrook.

    Who's going to guard Gasol AND Randolph?

    Grizzlies have excellent defense in closing out shooters and on man to man defense.

    You got Tony Allen guarding Durant and Durant's really going to have to fight hard to get his points from the field.

    Mike Conley's an underrated defender.

    Perk gives you nothing on offense and Gasol and Randolph can shut Ibaka down.

    I like what Memphis is doing. They are getting a ton of open shots. I believe they start falling soon enough

    Yeah, I don't understand that. They were the worst team at shooting them during the season. Wy start hoisting them up?

    They will definitely benefit from picking up somebody like Foye, Reddick, or Korver in the offseason.

    Umm. Grizz in 5 maybe 4. Thunder just can't score and the post-play is honestly too much.
