Portland put up a good fight and wallace played incredibly well, a good way to go out

I hope memphis wins tomorrow, and somehow beat the thunder

I predict lakers in 5 over dallas, I don't see it being very close-no matter how you look at it, LA is superior to Portland(no matter how much i like portland)

Bynum is too much for Chandler. Dirk will get his, and Pau won't have to worry about being bruised by Landry, Gray or Mbenga. No one can really guard Kobe on their team, and Fisher can stay in front of Kidd. Dallas' only advantage is the bench minus Odom.

The Thunder would demolish Memphis if it happens. The Nuggets were the best lower seeded team in the playoffs and you saw what OKC did to them.

It's gonna be a OKC/Lakers WCF just as I predicted, and it's either gonna be Bulls/Heat or Bulls/Celtics in the ECF.

Yeah, I'm giving Chris a day to get over it before I start spamming it. I'm a nice guy I guess.

Memphis went 3-1 vs Thunder this year in the regular season. 3 of those games probably came without Perkins, but I doubt they would stick Perkins on Randolph...Gasol would just abuse Ibaka.

Apparently, I just missed something funny on TNT.

lmao

"Are any sports traditions really that cool? Who-dey? The gator chomp? Laker fans not showing up until the fourth quarter"

"Cheryl Miller is devouring fried catfish on the sideline. I haven't seen such amazing investigative reporting since Woodward and Bernstein!" Bill Walton

^ When they showed Cheryl do that, so many stereotypes came to mind lmao.

I'm pretty sure Tim Duncan only joined the NBA as a favor to Coach Pop.

Blake Griffin in that vid was great though.


Ambi-racial. lmao



Anyways, I don't know what to expect tonight folks. If we play our game, we can smash them by 20. If they play their game, they can smash us just as hard.

If it comes to the wire, logic says we can't beat them in their building the same way we did here.

But at the same time, we've got Gary Neal. :p




Nike: I meant Game 4 was meaningless in terms of rivalry. Nothing will top that Game 5, because both teams were clutch as fugg. Obviously this whole series has been great, but Game 5 made it classic, imo.

Yeah, the site works. Okay start to the game, their hype will die out soon enough. This is gonna' be rough as a fan.

I just learned that if we win, a friend of the family is buying us tickets to Game 7. If I wasn't hyped before, you better believe I am now. XD

This is gonna be yet another close game between these two teams. I have no idea who will come out on top.

If I had to make a bet I'd say Memphis though. Ginobli needs to step up.

Zach Randolph is a beast. I have newfound respect for that guy after this series.

WTF GINOBLI? Why is he so clutch now?

It's kinda sad to see a team with so much tradition go out like that.

Yeah, I agree with this, but then again it's the Spurs with so much tradition that makes this series interesting. Normally I would hate a team like San Antonio getting eliminated early, but for some reason not this time around, and this is likely because they actually played the Grizzlies close every game in a very hard fought series. Had they went ice cold like Orlando it would have been a different story.

The Memphis Grizzlies without a doubt earned this series. Congratulations!

Oh yeah, give all the credit in the world to Memphis. It's gonna be interesting to see what Tony Allen and Battier can do vs Durant. Career wise, both have given him fits, so it's not like it will be an easy series for OKC.
