Love Memphis btw. My friends who use Cleveland and GS are crying over 2k because they can't beat me. Conley is money in the midrange.![]()
We know that, but he's still dominant. Really, the biggest disappointment for the Rockets is Harden. No 35 food stamps in the playoffs and they can't stack up...
Also, ZBo has been shooting awful... Conley and Marc are really the one-two punch for Memphis offensively...

Memphis has flaws, but their pace is tailor-made for the playoffs...
I think Z-bo is having a good series for Memphis. Last series he was awful with shooting but he still posed a huge threat, much like this series. The biggest key is FIRST TEAM ALL DEFENSE imo. He can't shoot for but he's done a of a job vs the Splash bros. In game 2 he was all over the place and this was also the same in game 3.
Zbo won them game 3 while Marc laid an egg in the 2nd half tbh.
He's important because Memphis plays inside out, and he's a great rebounder. But offensively, I thought he was taking too many shots.
They weren't merely cashing paychecks but they weren't who they were throughout their careers, which is why they retired shortly thereafter.
Teams that control the pace often win the series. It's hard to beat the Grizz with up tempo offense since they just walk it back to you and play inside out. They are going to get a lot of stops and you're not because they take high percentage shots. The Spurs could play either way, effectively, so they didn't need to control the tempo. They would beat you at which ever tempo you wanted to play. These other teams cannot do that.
They should have won that series and they would have if Kobe wasn't trying to play heroball.
Yep, they let a team with no superstars run them off the court.
The same team we beat in a great series. If Kobe wasn't such a team cancer, Doc would have zero rings, not even be in LA right now, and no one would have a clue who the Chauncey Billups is.
Boston was just better in 2008. Kobe was the model teammate in 2008, they just got beat by an annoying but better Boston team.
Leon Powe and PJ Brown bullying the Lakers
Still, Doc would be ringless if Kobe doesn't try to play hero ball. The Lakers let Doc get started, let Larry Brown off the hook for losing with Philly and gave him his only ring. There would be no Rondo in the league today if the Lakers don't fold to them. Now the Lakers will end up with what they produced and pay him a king's ransom for it.
His inability to stop the hemorrhage when we led by 23 in Game 4 was the final defining moment.
