Better chance at first round upset: Memphis or Indy?
Chris Sheridan (2:24 PM)
Memphis. They beat the Spurs twice, they have the most underrated one-on-one defender in the league in Tony Allen to put on Manu, they force more turnovers than any team in the NBA, and they have a Gasol who could be a difference-maker in the series. Also, as weird as it is to type this, Zach Randolph is a more productive player at his position than Tim Duncan.

Compare duncan and randolphs PER please, and minutes played. Then go and look at our two losses and realize that Tony Parker was out for one of the losses, and Tim Duncan was out for the other. I know its the popular pick for you guys to say the spurs are gonna be upset in the first round, but trust me, its not gonna happen.

All I am saying right now is it is a tough matchup for SA. I have not picked anyone in any series yet. (Those picks and those of my ESPN.com colleagues will be up Thursday afternoon).

To the Memphis fan...You are right that the Grizz didn't have Rudy, but you failed to realize that he's out for the season and you won't have him in the playoff either. Tony and Tim will be playing in the playoffs. Your point is moot and we will still beat you in the first round.
