This is a different team, even down 17, I knew they would come back. I wasn't predicting a win at that point, but I knew they would make it a tight game. Frankly, they are just better than the Thunder.

ESPN guys on twitter are bantering that a potential Heat vs Grizz Finals would be a tossup...that Grizz could win it all.

We're 5 wins away from the finals...keep it up Grizzlies!

Just hype, the Heat will be big favorites. They are expecting the Grizz to come out of the West so they are already ramping the hype machine.

Not saying it can't happen, but the Grizz would be big underdogs.

Grizz might be big underdogs and you would usually give the team with the best player the advantage. Obviously Lebron is the best player. Still, there are matchup issues all over the court in the Grizz favor. Especially if Wade is still playing hurt.

Hello, hold your horses! Edit: or your large Bears. Pic' 'em.

It's comical how much worse the Thunder are with Perkins on the court. The game completely changed in the 4th when Collison fouled out and Perkins came in.

Grizz would be the natural underdog of course but its not JUST hype...a few weeks ago I heard ESPN guys were saying that Miami insiders did mention the Grizz as a team they would least like to see in the Finals and it was pointed out awhile back that really good frontcourt teams give the Heat problems like the Grizzlies. I'm not jumping the gun and we got a lot of basketball games to play but I think Miami will not steamroll over Memphis and I'm thinking this might be a setup for similar Pistons vs heavily favored Lakers type series a few years ago and we know how that turned out

The Heat are the best team in the league. Period. The difference between us and the other Western Conference teams is that that the Warriors, Spurs, and Thunder will play the Heat's style of game. They just aren't as good at it as the Heat. The Grizz, however, present a different style of basketball that could POSSIBLY give the Heat trouble.

I opted for Waffle House over pancakes in the post game blouses celebration. IHOP is a ripoff. Where's Triple A in this celebration? Shout out to my Atlanta Grizz-lovin' Tiger brother!

Awesome!

What Chicago did to Miami in game 1, Memphis can do to Miami for a whole series.
