Memphis will beat OKC. They are playing better as an overall team. Conley is playing better than Westbrook and Memphis's frontline is bettr than OKC.
As good as Randolph/Gasol were - we didn't get beat by their front line. Everybody knew that was a Grizz advantage coming into the series regardless.
We got beat by the Grizz hitting jumpers and defending jumpers at rates much better than what they showed at any point during the regular season. Odds are that they come crashing back to earth on that sooner than later - but I don't really know who beats them if they don't.

What is wrong with Splitter's neck in your avatar?
It looks like it is way too long and out of proportion. Like a freak.
Ibaka's still pretty raw, and Perkins is an over-rated role player - that's the key. Perkins is a cog in the wheel, a team-defense guy and not Bill Russell FFS.
This is a good matchup for Memphis. They've got the advantage in the paint and lock-down perimeter defense. They can't stop Durant, but they can shut everyone else down. Looks like the NBA's two best frontlines will meet in the next round.
I seriously pick this grizz team to win it all, if they continue to play the way they are playing now.
They are just on fire.
The won't be able to rule the paint so easily against LA's triple towers. Odom probably being the key in that matchup.
Yep, he was the only reason the Spurs lost.
Memphis are a very good team. That's why i wanted Manu playing injured elbow and all from game one. A strong front court and a tough defensive unit.
Ya i know spilt milk .
Spurs fans that thought the grizzlies are an easy out are the same ones under-valuing this spurs team that got beat.
Odom is a matchup nightmare for anyone but the Lakers tend to forget that from time to time
That's exactly what we though after the 1st game against the Spurs
I don't see any "Thunder" come back. The truth is that, despite adding Perkins, they're not a good defensive team. Ibaka is a good shot blocker and he will continue blocking Z-Bo's shots. But notice that most of the time, Z-Bo gets the offensive rebound back and end up scoring or getting fouled.
Ibaka is only there to match up against the Odoms and Dirks of the world, but too bad OKC will not advance to face the Lakers.
Chris Bosh has a crazy long neck also and had turned out to be a decent player. Also, Elden Cambell had Giraffe neck and was a good role player at times. I think this all bodes well for Splitter's future.
Ibaka wiped him out last year. He was nowhere to be found. Bynum will be the key if we get there.
