had them to win it last year

The key to beatin da Heat is not to disrupt Bron, don't foul em, don't double em. Let em go off for 40 pts. Then you hold down every1 else.

Tony Allen on wade, put Gasol on Bosh, Zbo on the defensive glass. let Conley run wild gettin dem piss poor passes from Chalmers n Cole. When Ray Ray comes off bench, throw Pondexter on em, if Pondexter can stay in front of CP3 for a series I'm sure he can handle covering old man Ray allen. The hardest part against MIA is not gettin in foul trouble, cuz u know stern n def refs gonna b riggin dis ish.

You act like Bron is their only great player.....wade is a superstar and bosh is a legit all star. You don't just shut them down for an entire series.

Breh memphis would get that work

Tony allen on Wade


The griz might get lucky and win one but thats as far as your getting

 

[TXTrill1]

they have all the ingredients




they are the only team that CAN give MIA problems.. terrible matchup for the heat..


memphis front court


bosh guarding z-bo whos got gasol?



memphis perimiter D --- allen/prince(yeah he old but dont sleep) conley is underrated on both sides of the ball.





hollins is a GREAT coach



rebirth of pistons 04




only team that can challenge them in the WEST are the spurs but we already seen that movie before

Never said Bron is their only great player, but ur acting like Grizz don't got great players too, and ur acting like Grizz don't got 1 of the top defenses the last 3 years. Ur acting like Tony Allen aint a top guard defended who won a ring on da Celtics facing Kobe. Ur also acting like Wade is 100% healthy and is da same player he was when he got his 1st ring. Ur actin like Bosh is a physical defender and can outreboud Zbo is was top 5 in dbl dbls and the main problem is ur acting like the Heat any a real center period, far less once that matches up with Marc Gasol. Last time heat faced a real center in Finals Dallas was hoisting up da throphy and Tyson Chandler got named defensive player of yr the nxt season. Hey wha'd u know Gasol won that thing this yr.

Its a good matchup, grizz n heat both beat each other durin reg season. Hopefully the Grizz cn survive the west so we can actually get a competitive finals for once.

Let's not go that far. The Clipps were up 3-2 last year, but lost game 6 at home, but still managed to win game 7 at Memphis, so it ain't over yet. We still don't know how they could possibly do against KD, and Nick Collison guards Z-Bo the best, but knowing so, Brooks probably won't give him much minutes though. The Grizz at times can still go through droughts on offense, but I hope they do go far now. at Mean Mark Gasol's leadership.

That's the main matchup I'm worried about. Collison always shuts down Zbo. But usually Brooks wld bench Ibaka to get Collison in the line up. But with the evolution of ibaka this yr on offense and no westbrook, who knows much OKC cn sacrifice having Ibaka on bench. And you def can not put Ibaka on Gasol.

Also, Tony Allen use to get madd tired having to cover westy or harden every other possession now witout both of them, Allen will probably play less but more impactful mins and bayless could get a boost in mins like he was gettin down the stretch.

In the west the team i'm most afraid of for da Grizz is Golden State. Wit David lee back n Bogut down low they can match us down low. and wit Klay and steph nailing shots wld b difficult to contain all da shooters and penetration while having to defend down low.

You say all that but Allen still isn't going to shut down wade, bosh is still going to hit either 15 foot jumpers or drive past his man, and the series still will probably end in 6 games in favor of MIA.

But let Memphis finish this series first. I can admit them and the Spurs are the only team that might make it competitive for the Heat.

Hey never said it wil be easy, but if your gonna beat da Heat dats the only method thus far. Only Grizz n spurs have da players to do it, and really I dunno about the Spurs lineups to contact the Heat. Like what happens when its parker, leonard and manu on the court wit duncan n splitter. Manu cnt b put on lebron so kawhi gonna play em. I wldnt take parker n manu on defense vs wade/ray or wade n chalmers.

im a LAKER fan #LWO let me just get that out of the way... hold on to the hate.. just an objective opinion on the 013 PO


i believe tonite they win by double digits.. clips mentally are already beat, grizz brand of basketball has physically and mentally rattled them from the players to the coaching staff.

next round - either OKC or HOU both jump shooting teams.. will be the easiest matchup of all the series they will play .. will win in 5 more thn likely against either team longest either series goes is 6..

spurs vs grizz WCF -- zbo-marc gasol cancel out duncan.. ginobili isnt 100% and will have to deal with tony allen..parker isnt 100% either.. memphis perimiter defense >>> not 100% healthy spurs backcourt.. spurs go as tony parker goes and i see memphis D overcoming SA two backcourt "stars" - they already have the mental edge as well


this 013 memphis team reminds me of the 04 pistons squad..


04 pistons

billups
rip
prince
Sheed
Wallace

013 grizz

conley
allen
prince
z-bo
gasol

 

[ROFL_GUY]

clips best season of all time = lakers worst seaosn of all time

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

I hope so...anything but Westbrookless Thunder and San Antonio

 

[johnny.utah]

I like Memphis and actually think they would be the best Matchup for Miami

Only thing I worry about with them is their outside shooting. I think if a team can disrupt Gasol and Zbo they might have problems. But I'm kinda hoping they make it to the finals although I'm sure David Stern and the NBA are hoping that doesn't happen

memphis is the smallest market in the nba. Grizz shot what 20 more fts than LOS ANGELES.. so maybe stern would rather have the grizz than the spurs in the finals

arguably THE best perimiter Defender in the nba
