A better question is can they beat them once.
I am afraid Dallas is going to run over either Memphis or OKC. Memphis if the shooters cannot get it done (they don't have great outside shooting) and OKC if Westbrook cannot get his team more involved.
A better question is can they beat them once.
The Thunder can beat the Mavs. The Grizzlies can't. End of story.
The Mavs are going to the Finals anyway, so why are we discussing this?
How many of you thought the Memphis s would be child's play for the Spurs? How many of you thought the Thunder would expose them like Utah exposed GS?? smh at people still sleeping on them, its still up in the air whether they advance...but if they do they have the tools to give dallas a dogfight. Dirk cant win alone, he'll need his shooters to keep burying those 3s and we've seen how solid the Grizz are at defending the 3.
I also agree with Hooks to some extent, people are crowning the Mavs as some unstoppable force because they beat a washed up Laker team that didnt look like a real contender all season. They were viewed as one simply because they were the defending champs not because their play reflected that. These same Mavs struggled against Portland and gave indication that they were just as mentally weak as previous yrs with yet another epic choke job in Game 4 and another close call in Game 6.
He's referencing 8.
I'm referencing 36.
Looked like 8 to me.
The Skunker!!!

In all honesty, most fans thought the Lakers are to be in the Finals too, but that didn't happen. There has been a few surprising upsets this year so I wouldn't be shocked at all if Memphis somehow finds a way to beat the Mavericks considering this team had history of epic collapses.
Jordan 6
Kobe 5
This is true.
Jordan 6
Kobe - .5PERIOD
I see what you did there pal.
Kobe & Gasol 2
Jordan & Pippen 6
Yes, the Mavs beat the Lakers. However, they beat an old, tired Lakers full of quit with serious chemistry issues and the Mavs shot lights out for the most part. The Grizzlies have a team that can hit the Mavs in their weak spot. The Mavs will fold under pressure if the Grizzlies get physical and play hard nosed defense. If Randolph/Gasol get going, the Mavs can't stop them. It's time for Barrea and Terry to come back to earth. The match-ups are pretty even defensively for the Grizz. The only advantage the Mavs have, as usual, is Dirk.
Terry is going to have one tough series if Memphis advance. Tony Allen is going to lock this guy out.

Dunno,sounds more like Spurfan is still butthurt about getting raped by Memphis.
Explain.
and you're crowing the Grizzlies because they beat a team anyone with a half-decent amount of basketball knowledge knows was a pretender.
