    I think they have the two best players on the court (Beal, alongside Wall), but then Atlanta probably has the next six best. The issue, as it was always going to be, is can Atlanta's depth step up?

    I would've been a lot more excited about this Grizzlies/Warriors series if Conley were playing. Without him, Memphis' uphill battle becomes a lot steeper.

    Watch GS sweep, but I will say the Grizz arent the ideal matchup for the Warriors. They have good peremiter defense and as good of a defender Green is, they can take advantage of him with Randolph or Gasol.

    Korver needs to get ridiculously hot like he did in the middle of the season. He and Carroll are the two guys that really need to carry this team.

    I think, after San Antonio, Memphis had the best potential of any west teams to make it tough for Golden State—if they were healthy. (Meanwhile, I think both Houston and Los Angeles both have rosters/styles that play into the Warriors' hands.)

    Yes Probably. The other counter point is the Wizards have a few guys that dont let the situation get to them, they are stone cold with no fear of missing. (pierce, Otto)

    He was in a mask and warming up earlier.

    Sounds like he'll return soon, maybe Game 2, if not Game 3.

    But i dont know if they can beat GS 4 out of 5 times provided they lose the first 2 games.

    I'm betting he's not back until game-three—which really jeopardizes their chances of stealing a game in Golden State, thus making their shot of winning the series pretty bleak.

    I would've picked Golden State either way, but I think it could have been a longer and more competitive series with Conley healthy for the start of the series.

    To wit: Grizzles have played pretty well, and nicely rallied midway through the second quarter, yet they still trail by nine.

    Refs are just a bad match up for the Hawks.

    Could very easily be a sweep. Hawks can shoot themselves right out of a game in no time. The flip side is they could get hot, but their cold streaks are more common and last longer.

    It's not awful, but still well below average.

    8-19 yesterday but such a great shooter.

    Like i've said, he'd be up there with CP3, Russ and Steph if his jumper/scoring was more consistent to go with his passing, rebounding, and defense. He's a very good shot blocker as well.

    You still haven't adequately addressed why Russ doesn't have to shoot efficiently, but Wall does.

    so 42%? Equal to Russ's shooting percentage this year?

    Giles, you don't get it.

    Westbrook shoots the ball 30 times a game. Therefore, his 42% is more impressive!! If Wall chose to shoot the ball more instead of passing the ball to teammates for higher effecient shots, then he could be an elite player too!

    Please just keep leaving Gasol wide open. Seems like a great strategy right now.

    Torn on who I want to win the Houston/Los Angeles series.

    Harden=douche
    Paul=Jerk off
    Dwight=Fake tough guy, cry baby

    I guess my default it's the Clippers. They have less douchey players.
