Grizz by light years.
This happened in that series
He isn't on the level of guys like Kobe, Wade, or Bron, but hes good and skilled enough to be a guy that they can look to for creating offense when elite defenses clamp down. Mentally, nowhere to be found. Even Jason Terry might be less of a mental midget in the clutch than OJ Mayo, which is pretty bad.
They done whooped us good. I have nothing but respect for Z-Bo and the wrecking crew.
The Grizz really proved a lot of doubters wrong. Most of us saw them as an up and coming team that was still a couple pieces and a star away but they really play together like a cohesive unit.
The 2007 Warriors won because of their ability to go small and check Dirk with tall, athletic players while his teammates the bed, aside from Howard who averaged like 20ppg in that series. Still though, they were all over Dirk and they had the personnel to stick with him. I see the Warriors as just being an awful matchup. They certainly were not a better team nor did they have more individual talent, they just exploited their matchup perfectly.
But as others said, the 2007 Warriors got slammed by the ing Utah Jazz. So this is the 2011 Grizzlies no doubt.
Pretty much hit the nail on the head with this post.
to you, emo
Thanks stretch.

Memphis is not relying heavily on it's outside shot. They were saved from the Spurs by a couple, but they bang well inside and that's not the mark of a fluke.
The Grizzlies are a waaaay better team than the 07' jump-shooting/jacking up 3's Warriors....
lol mavs
Grizzlies would WRECK the Warriors tbh. Can you imagine how much Z-Bo and Marc would dominate down low?! These were the same Warriors that were playing AL ING HARRINGTON at Center! Warriors would have got absolutely wrecked in the paint, and then you'd have Tony Allen and Battier locking up the likes of Davis, Jackson and Richardson. would get ugly pretty quickly for the Warriors. The Mavs should have destroyed the Warriors but Avery Johnson really had no strategy to exploit their weaknesses. Which is why the team who actually had a good coach and strategy (Utah Jazz with Jerry Sloan) easily beat the Warriors in a mere 5 games.
Damn, I still can't believe after this this guy lost interest in playing like this. SO sad to see what has happened to him since.
GSW have such a good fan base.
