The Spurs.
I dont know about the Thunder but the Grizzlies are looking dangerous. Kinda like that GSW team that knocked out the Mavs.
ZBO
Gasol
Gay
Mayo
Conley
are all hungry. I think they can upset a 2-3 Seed in the West. Could even give the Lakers a run for their money, because LA does play down to its compe ion (see Houston series)
The Spurs.
memphis isnt even in. it would require the suns to continue sucking for it to happen
I would not want to see the Mavs play them in a series. We have trouble against atheltic teams like that. It could be GS all over again.
They could potentially win some games and take it to 7 vs. Dallas, Denver and SA IMO..
I think Memphis could make it interesting vs. the Lakers, but I don't think OKC could..

Idk why you say this implying that there's only a slim chance they continue to suck.
Cheer up DOK..it's not that bad..
Grizz are like 0 & 16 in the playoffs. They might win a game, not a series.
The Thunda are too young.
I think OKC can
in fact okc almost beat lakers last time they played em
Lakers
If there's a team this could happen against though, its definitely the Lakers.
well, spurs lost to the lower seed in last playoffs, and the thunder own them, so imo it's not a strech to see the thunder beat the spurs.
Thae was a different tean. Come on now
the grizz/thunder are to the spurs what the warriors are to the mavs. bad matchup
I wish them to make playoff, and kick out Paul and his bunch of brickers and Suns with their stupid basketball ideology.
From never winning a playoff game to winning a series? I think its just too big of a jump, the Grizz have to learn how to crawl before they run. They should gun for the 8th seed though, if theres a team they can pull it off against its definitely the Lakers and that chucker Kome.
I actually think the opposite. The OKC game in OKC was an OT game. They were super athletic and came out with a ton of energy. It felt similar to playing against Portland in the Rose Garden.
Easily LA Lakers. They have a target on them until someone dethrones them, that would amp up any team to try and be the team to do it. All it takes is a 2-2 series in the 1st rd or any round in the playoffs for them and they could be in deep trouble, look at the depleted Rockets team last season, it just gets tougher every year to win the NBA le as teams improve. Teams are now trying to assemble teams to dethrone the Lakers, they have the giant target on them now like the Spurs used to. If the Spurs bow out early that wouldn't be to surprising, but they also could be dangerous and are still a threat to win the NBA le like the Lakers. If all the West playoff teams are healthy come playoff time, repeating will be tough as for the Lakers.
I think their frontcourt would get massacred by Gasol-Bynum-Odom though, especially in the playoffs..
Unless Durant pulls a LeBron in the playoffs and puts up sick numbers, OKC is not giving anyone trouble, Durant puts up some sick scoring numbers and carries his team, but his supporting cast sort of sucks. The Grizzlies have a nice group of players and have the firepower to match any team in the playoffs.
This was my first thought before I even clicked on the thread. The Thunder don't have the size, but the Grizz could give LA some problems down low. Kobe would probably have to defend Mayo too, which would make him have to work at both ends. If Gasol is not 100% going into the playoffs LA would probably rather not deal with Memphis in the first round.
Hey guise, I'm trying to figure our how Memphis' all caner experiment has not exploded on them. Conventional wisdom dictates that adding scoring cancerous players to one team does NOT make your team better, yet Memphis is having a great season (after their initial 1-8 start).
How in the world is Memphis an all-cancer team?
Well, Westbrook will have his way against the Lakers G, but Kobe will get his and Durant will get his, and the domination will come from the Bigs (Bynum and Gasol and Odom, Mebenga) vs (Collison and Kristic). Lakers win in 4!
If Spurs are matched up, the series can possibly go to 6 games! But i seriously doubt that, still a young team, with little playoff exp. but they do have talent and have will to win games! Still Duncan, Blair, McDyess vs Collison and Kristic! not going to happen!
Spurs win 4-2!
