    I really like the Grizzlies. They're my favorite WC team outside of Houston.

    Really hope they make a deep run. I feel like they're the only team with a legit chance to defeat the Heat. Always like to see teams with a legit post game and such good defensive talent. Like Marc Gasol a lot.

    I like the Grizz to do what they should have done last year and eliminate the Clippers. I like the Grizz's experience and skill down low compared to the Clipps athleticism their. I also see a better Grizz defense that I expect to throw the Clipps of their game.

    I think the poll results reflect a lot of clipper hate, but it would be an upset frankly if the grizzlies can win this series. The clippers hold the trump card frankly, which is a boundless ability to overcome any grizzlies run that they established in last year's playoffs and have successfully carried it over to this year.

    I do think that the clippers play better against the grizzlies because of that confidence and that overall the grizzlies match up better against the better teams in the west than they do against the clippers, and if the grizzlies do get past the clippers they could make a deep run since the grizzlies aren't really scared of any other team in the west but the clippers.

    So you're telling me the Grizzlies aren't on the Miami Heat's level?

    Well, seeing how I wrote that like a 3rd grader, your guess is as good as mine.

    What I was trying to say is, the clippers have the grizzlies number and until they don't they do. Period.

    X factor is probably going to be Mike Conley. If he plays defense well on Paul, Memphis should win.

    Griffin and Jordan v. Z-Bo and Gasol is going to be hella fun to watch.

    The clippers always seem looser than the grizzlies. I wish it weren't so. :(

    Allen was fouling excessively against us that last game but was never getting called for it. He had around 3 fouls on Lin alone that were not called. Now look here what's happening to him when the refs are calling fouls properly. He is about to foul out in the first half. Hope he slips and falls on his face.

    That could have something to do with the Lakers. Personally, if I was the Spurs, I would be severely worried about the Lakers' refs.

    Refs are calling everything against the grizz. Clips players are running into grizz and clips are getting calls. Lol

    That should have been an offensive foul on CP at the end of first Q

    Memphis really really needs a 3 pt ace badly. Hopefully they can sign Reddick in the off-season.
