No doubt. I just expect GS to go back to their hot shooting ways. Memphis is a great defensive team, but at the same time, GS is one of the best offensive teams and all things being equal, great offense tends to beat great defense. Ups to Memphis for this game, but I expect GS to come roaring back in game 2 much like I expect the Cavs to do tonight.

you mean game 3 im sure? but yeah I hear ya, GS is a great team for sure. I still picked GS to win this series in 7 games. if conley can play at the level he did last night, all series long...then I can see the upset happening. conley is the key to the series no doubt

Think I said that too last week or something. Conley's play is huge if the Grizz are gonna pull the upset.

Sounds like John Wall will miss the rest of the postseason with fractures in his hand and wrist. There hasn't been a better chance for the Bulls to reach the Finals now.

Washington ripping and tearing on Atlanta without wall, right now up 13 at halftime. Is it weird that I almost want the hawks to win the series?

Is GS in trouble with the match up they have? Memphis has good perimeter defenders and can get a lot of high % shots in the paint.

Grizzlies and Wiz putting it on the #1 seeds...

Atlanta's and GS's style of basketball doesn't have a great track record in the playoffs...

2 games in the Grindhouse now and the Warriors could be in a hole.

If the Bulls do get through, I don't want to see the Hawks. If that team gets hot, there is no stopping them.

A Wall-less wizards team will be much easier to take down.

If GS loses to the Grizz...That really opens up the Finals man...

Does anyone watch the LAC vs HOU games.. Is the DeAndre Jordan fouling shit making the game boring as hell?

I mean shit.. at half time, he's got 26 free throw attempts.

If Wall wasn't injured, does anyone else feel like the Wizards would have had a legit shot at making the Finals?

Any Finals series not involving Chicago, Golden State, or Cleveland is going to have low ratings. LA has a big market, but the Lakers haven't really drawn national attention unless they're playing a team like Boston, so I don't expect the Clippers to.

Shit, if Jordan keeps getting hacked the way he is, I don't think anyone is gonna watch if they make the Finals.

Eh...I'd still want to watch the Clippers. They play an exciting brand of basketball. I think they'd at least be the least of the NBA's worries for ratings relative to the other teams. Memphis is kind of the NBA's rating nightmare. Small market, grind it out style of play, lots of under-appreciated players.
