Laker fans aren't you glad

Lol you spurfans are so ing stupid. You still don't know how this works. You think Memphis will allow the Lakers to lose?

typical GNSF mentality. " Anyone who beats the mighty, classy Spurs have to be an elite team in the West " The Grizzlies are gonna go out in 5 max in the second round. Fortunately, they ran into a team that was built for the regular season but was soft as charmin in the playoffs

They didn't tank for nothing

Imagine a front court of Desagana Chamberlain Diop and Moses Malone Randolph.

I don't understand this topic, entirely..

1) Memphis hasn't beaten San Antonio yet. Yes, they are in position to do so, but they still need a win.
2) Lakers still haven't beaten the Hornets yet. See 1)
3) If Memphis and Lakers win round 1, round 2 has yet to be played.

Now, had the Lakers gotten the first seed, or Memphis the 7th, then I can understand. It would have been tougher on the Lakers in the first round. However, LA did lose twice to the Grizzlies in the regular season. They traded blowouts in LA, and split reasonably close games in Memphis. However, the Lakers swept the Hornets. Perhaps LA would take them more seriously in round 1 than they did the Hornets.

Lakers would be in the same boat as the Spurs IMO.


1. Gasol and Zbo are better than Landry and Okafor
2. Kobe Stoppers. Memphis has two (Tony Allen and Battier), Hornets has one (Ariza). Expect Kobe to drop his shooting % to high 30's.
3. Conley and OJ Mayo would drop Troy Hudson numbers on Derek Fisher.
4.Grizzlies were a better team than the Hornets going into Postseason. Its no surprise they are beating the Spurs. The Grizz are at their absolute peak past AS break.
5.Grizzlies can match LA's production and hustle in the paint.
