Can the Thunder or Grizzlies upset a contender in the playoffs?

[Darthkiller]

memphis is a team that matches up well with the Lakers. They have a tons of bigs (gasol, randolph, thabeet, haddadi, arthur). Mayo matches up well against Kobe.

laugh all u want, i am just stating the facts.

I could easily see OKC knocking out the Spurs.

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).

Gay > Battier

OJ Mayo exploded for 15 on 5-12 shooting though.

So yeah, they match up well. 43 to 15 points...they played each other to a stand still.

Man, seriously, OJ Mayo ing nuthuggery on this board is borderline embarrassing now.

I'm convinced 90% of ST just watches sportscenter highlights.

Dont get me wrong..i love OJ Mayo...but to say that him and Kobe match up well is idiotic.

OJ's a great player. Just seems like ST makes him out to be a superstar when he has YEARS left to go before he even sniffs that mountain.

If you look at the Grizzlies a couple of games after they sorted out the Iverson mess, they're 21 and 10.

Damn near 70% winning percentage.

They've beat the Suns, Spurs, Nugz, Blazers, Cavs and Mavs.

Son, just becaue you hate me does not mean other people must hate me. I am loved by the fans and Kobe is hated and you are angry because of it.

and all were from the post, no 3 pointers. they never doubled. lionel hollins is also stupid.

Lakers can get beat by Memphis in seven games. The Grizz have enough big men to beat contain the Lakers' frontcourt IMO. They also have enough athletic wings to give problems to Kobe and Artest

Grizzlies suffer too much from little brother syndrome to beat the Lakers.

Marc's not going to beat up on his older brother Pau
Mayo idolizes Kobe too much to give him the business
Rudy Gay has always played poorly against Ron Ron

Grizzlies will bring a B or C game against the Lakers.

OKC is way too small to beat the Lakers in 7 but they might steal a game or two.

Y'all will have to find somebody else to knock the Lakers out.
