NBA: Memphis or Denver

[Venti Quattro]

If you were a playoff team, which team would you rather in the playoffs avoid as long as possible?

Only pussies & assholes do polls, Venti.

Grizz

Because scrub Conley owns MVP candidate's ass

Depends how you match up... I still think Denver will have trouble running as much in the playoffs against certain teams, and how Ty Lawson is physically can make a big difference.

Memphis has the defense, but this version of ZBo is terrible and Marc might be playing hurt.

I would rather play playoff fodder like Utah or the Lakers, but if it's between those two, probably Denver... just a less physical team to play against for our Spurs...

Is my team filled with TOSB's or young athletic players?

Let's just make this clear: These two are gonna be a nightmare for the Lakers.

I don't think Denver's style of play will translate, but I'd rather play Memphis..Randolph isn't as good as he was a few years ago, their go-to guy is Jarred Bayless, and they have limited options on the offensive end..

I'd rather face Memphis. With Zbo and Gasol sucking/playing hurt they just aren't all that scary. Denver may not be able to run as much in the playoffs, but they have enough athletes and a good enough coach to pose a real threat.

[ElNono]

I think the Spurs can beat either... my main concern is the wear and tear... Memphis, even struggling, it's a team that will play you very physically, that's why I'd like to avoid them...

[Arcadian]

Either one is fine

[Latarian Milton]

i'd avoid denver rather than memphis cuz i don't wanna play in an oxygen-deprived arena tbh. nuggets w/o lawson might not be as good as memphis but i'd still rather take memphis over denver

I'd rather play Memphis.
in 2011 Marc Gasol outplayed Tim. Won't happen again. Zbo isn't god anymore

[OKC]

In OKC's case, I think you'd rather play Denver than Memphis. Memphis is much more of a matchup problem for OKC.

This.
Still, even with him injured, Im scared of Denver.
Diaw-McGee...mmmm....
Backup PG - Miller....
Backup SG(?) - Corey Brewer..

I dont know...I rather nor face them, let OKC beat them...

I agree. Denver scares me more on the eye test.

This. I like the Spurs chances to be able slow down Denver, rather having to grind it out against the Grizz.

You guys are idiots .... Marc Gasol is better than he was in 2011 , Bayless is our new improved version of Mayo , Prince = Battier , Conley is better than what he was in 2011 and Z-BO could turn it on the playoffs
