Great team win again. Winning by 15 when Marc and Zac goes 9-31 shows this team is on a mission.

Loved watching LA try and bully ZBo. Not smart. Never good to get in the mud with ZBo.

Portland is simply a great matchup for Memphis. In terms of finishing in the 2-6 range for seeding, the best possible opponent for Memphis was Portland. Being up 2-0 is not a surprise at all. Need killer instinct and get both or certainly one in Oregon and play no more than five games.

In terms of match ups, Golden State is a bad one for Memphis...need to match off time.

Golden State is a bad match up for everyone, but we have a better shot at knocking them off than 90% of the rest of the league.

IMHO only one team is truly a bad matchup for Memphis, and that's the Spurs. We may not beat the Warriors but it will be a long series. The key to that game will be the health of Conley. If his speed isn't affected then he can keep up with Curry to an extent. I actually think it'll end up being a defensive series since both teams are elite defensively.

I think we may hide Conley on D and let Lee and Allen handle the splash brothers. The key against GSW is multiple high end perimeter defenders, and we have three.

Also LOL Clippers. Maybe next year.

If Conley is healthy, it would make more sense for him to play Curry. Most likely Courtney and Conley will take turns on Curry.

Cleveland
Chicago
San Antonio
LAC
Houston
Atlanta

...probably with better chance to beat GST, but that indeed makes Memphis chance better than close to 90% of the league.

SMH. LAC in the list of teams that can beat GST in a best of 7?!? They have a horrendous bench and won't be able to keep up with GST. Chicago?!?

You seem to have an agenda against the Grizz. Stay on the Tigers board and let folks that know more about the NBA discuss their favorite team.

Yep the spurs is the only team in the west I want to avoid. Anybody else I know Memphis can beat.

Lol . I think Memphis, Cleveland, San Antonio, and Houston has best chance of knocking them out.
