I think it comes down to health. Were hurt with LMA, who you know they are going to go after his hand since theyv already done that, Batum, afflalo,cj,kaman, Rolo
The Grizz are just as hurt with Conley, will be lucky to be 80% with his foot, same with Allen, courtney lee, Gasol hurt his foot recently, Carter.
This series could easily change with any game since there is a good chance a player will hurt himself and effect his play for the rest of the season anytime they step on the court.
Im going Blazers in 6 because I cant see us winning a game seven in Memphis.
 
Excellent. Best possible match-up, IMO. Losing sucks, but I'd much rather lose to the Grizzlies than the Rockets. And on the positive side, the Grizzlies give us the best chance at advancing to the second round. This match-up is a win/win in my book.
Win or lose I'm looking forward to watching this series. I would have hated watching a series with the Rockets or Clippers, and as much as I enjoy watching the Spurs...I don't enjoy watching them when they're playing us.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to sit through a bitch fest with Clippers. SAS is just too good and I would much rather face them in the WCF, if that was ever a possibility. The unfortunate situation is the second round. GS looks like a team that is indestructible. It would take a miracle and 100% efficiency to beat them in a 7 game series.

I already have a bad feeling that Calathes is going to hurt us.

As in Nick Calathes???

If Nick Calathes beats you, you don't deserve to win. If he's anywhere near the court when it matters, at least 5 Grizzlies have fouled out and/or died.

Have you seen how bad this guy shoots from anywhere further than 3 feet from the basket?

3-10 - .388
10-16 - .296
16-3pt - .182
3pt - .256

FT% = .533

The guy is a "shooting" guard and he shoots FTs like Dwight Howard.

I hope we see a LOT of Nick Calathes in this series, but with Conley, Allen, Lee, Green, Carter and Udrih healthy, we won't likely see much of Nick the Brick.

Or, perhaps I misread your post and by "hurt us" you're worried he will injure one of our players by tripping them as they are running past the MEM bench..

I actually think this series will depend on how the refs will allow the physical play on Dame and how Dame can adjust to that physicality.

This is huge. If the refs continue to let other teams beat Dame up, it's not likely to end well.

I still don't get why refs allow Dame to get hit and grabbed like that. You would think they would try and protect their marketable players more. At least call it fairly
 
Oh my gosh, Toronto's crowd is the loudest I've ever heard. Paul Pierce sucks cheer was insanely loud.

For about 2 minutes, and then they are so quiet that you can hear everything over the PA...not impressed.
 
both of these teams must be defensive juggernauts...
 
Courtney Lee always terrorizes us. He's the guy I'm worried about
 
Raptors swept the Wizards during the regular season...just sayin.

This is why the NBA needs to change something. It's stupid to have injuries play such a huge role in the playoffs.

It's funny that Rudy Gobert was so undervalued and Valanciunas was so overvalued. Jusuf Nurkic already looks like he might be better than JV. You can never tell what players will just plateau.

Maybe he needs a new team. Toronto doesn't exactly have a great scheme. He has great size though.
 
Why did Lowry get pulled from the game? He sat on the bench most of the game but I missed the reason.
 
AD is a fucking beast! Just looking at this dude scares me. When he builds more strength, he will be unstoppable
