I don't think anyone said we were.

The point I was making is that if MEM can hold the Warriors to 39 first half points, perhaps it isn't so shocking we had trouble scoring against them, that both Aldridge and Lillard had subpar performances against that same MEM defense.

Memphis is so disciplined on defense. They are in the right spot 90% of the time. They don't do anything fancy, just fundamentally sound... Unlike the Warriors who rely on chaos.

Actually, he did. Perhaps it wasn't intentional, but the slow motion replay showed Green clearly hitting Conley in the face well after Conley signaled for time out, and it also looked like the ref had blown his whistle and granted the time out.

Green also got one of the absolute dumbest technicals I've ever seen by going off on the ref 3 minutes into the game with the score 7-5. Jesus, pick your spots. Even if it was a blown call, no need to get a tech and get pulled from the game with the score 7-5.

Green seems like the ultra-competitive, super-douchey, Danny Ainge-like player you LOVE when he's on your team, but EVERY fan of EVERY other team loathes.

Warriors are in trouble. They may very well come back home with a 1-3 series deficit.
 
Warriors only lost here twice all year. If Conley played Game 1, Warriors could be down 0-2.
 
Wow Mike Conley is a hell of a point guard.
 
Wonder how a team that was never supposed to advance out of the 1st round again took a game off the Warriors.... in the playoffs... While being the road team...
If The Dubs don't win a game in Memphis...
Memphis is winning game 5 to advance to the conference finals.
Granted I believe it'll be 2-2 going back to Cali.. But... That's more cause of what Memphis does than the Warriors.

Gasol may have the most overrated offensive game ever. He airballs a ton....

It is weird. I've never seen such a good shooter airball so frequently. He must have a case of the Bonzi-itis, i.e. blacking out at inopportune times.
 
Kingspeed has maintained that the Blazers would handle the Warriors because the Warriors can't handle our front line.

Although he may be a bit optimistic in that assessment, clearly the Warriors cannot hope to handle the Grizzlies front line.

The Griz were, IMO, our worst possible match up. I think the same could be said for the Warriors.

If the Warriors get out of this alive (I hope they do), they ... should....go....all....the....way! [/Howard Cosell]

It just goes to show you how a solid defensive team strategy can work. This is not about great individual defensive players. Sure some of them like Allen make a big difference, but like in San Antonio you see players who were not known for their D, step up for the Grizz. A couple of our fans could not comprehend how Zbo could defend LMA or why Dame could not blow by a "wounded" Conley. But you have to give props to Joerger, this is what they do. The guys has a system that even Vince Carter is effective in.

It's not pretty. I would much watch the Warriors in a free flowing, high scoring game, but the Memphis style works.

I'm really hoping they advance. They are a great TEAM.
 
DHo just flat out hit Griffin in the face on purpose. Seen him do that crap many times.
 
God I hate these two teams.
 
Rockets have shot 60 free throws.

60.

Free throws.
