Go Memphis. No question. We should make this the official thread for all games that impact the playoffs. Other games today: PHX @ DAL. OKC @ LAL. and going right now CHI @ ORL
Important game from a playoff seed POV. I want Memphis to take this, as I think the Spurs would have an easier path against the Hornets.
Thoughts?

maybe playing memphis would be a blessing in disguise. there bigs are alot like what we are going to see with la or dallas.
this test would help us get the tweaks needed before going to the next level.
even though hornets are the easier of the two, i want the spurs to play memphis.
ORL came very close, but Rose showed again why he's MVP. Without Rose, Bulls are 5+ seed.
Solid argument, but I still want NO. Memphis plays more physical...there's a higher probability of injury...that's the last thing they need in the first round.
Wow, Orlando down 4 with around 4 seconds left and manage to send the game to overtime.
Never mind, they waived it off. Close though.
No good.
Memphis winning is only part of the equation. If NO wins out after that, they still wind up ahead.
NO wont win out, they still play Utah and Dallas. Dallas will still have something to play for in that game as well....
Memphis should win tonight, they just spanked New Orleans in their own house last week....
What are the chances that Memphis throws this game to meet us in the first round?
If they wanted us so bad they would've tanked the game against the Kings the other night....
Memphis must also consider the possibility that the Lakers (on a recent losing streak) might fall to #3, meaning they could face Dallas in the first round if they move up to #7. I can't say for certain, but I would guess they'd rather face Dallas than San Antonio (I think in most or all of their wins against us we were missing key players).
I'm hoping we get New Orleans in the first round.
i'd rather face NOH than MEM
i'm fine with Rose as MVP, but i'm not sure that's the best argument. just about every playoff team would drop 4+ slots without their best player.
I think everyone would
NOH has actually played okay as of late. Landry gives em a presence inside.
The overwhelming consensus is to favor playing MEM over NOH, but I think it shouldn't be that overwhelming. NOH isn't that bad.
New Orleans isn't that bad, and they always play with confidence against the Spurs, so to me, it doesn't matter which teams is playing the Spurs in the 1st round..
However, as I've said before, the Lakers opponent is relevant to the Spurs..if they get the Hornets, they're essentially getting a bye in the 1st round..
Memphis up 52-48 at the half....
Memphis is spanking the Hornets right now 91-70 with 9 mins left in the game.
Memphis walking away with it
I hope the Lakers lose tonight, so that the Mavs have something to play for against New Orleans on Wednesday.
Jason Williams going down for the Grizzlies might actually benefit them, because Vasquez is ballin' right now...
I think NO would be less taxing on the Spurs with their lack of size.
Memphis may not have a guy that can finish at the end of games (Randolph maybe), but they are physical.
Memphis will try to bet up its opponent. That's how they beat SA in the RS. Knocked out Parker and Manu in two different games. Duncan miss a game as well with his ankle.
Despite the headaches they've given us this season, bless those grizzly hearts. They're basically asking for the Lakers in the first round with tonight's performance.
