someone please take this bet and bookmark it asap.
You guarantee the Grizzlies win the championship because they have had 4 EXTREMELY tight games with a team that is missing their second best player (a top 5-7 player in the league) and start Kendrick ****ing Perkins. Not to mention a team that gives Derek ****ing Fisher a lot of minutes.
Righto.
They have the bigs but don't have enough perimeter scoring..
they wont even get pass the spurs or warriors:oldlol:

they wouldnt be beating okc this year if they had westbrook. no clue about the clippers though. id say memphis beat them fair and square

Kind of helps my arguement..
[QUOTE=All Net]Kind of helps my arguement..[/QUOTE]
I don't see how a defensive liability making 29% of his 3 pointers and only 27% of his field goals may help your argument. That was Mayo's performance during last season's PO.
And as good as Gay could be, he was only converting 21% of his 3 pointers.
I'm not saying you are wrong about them lacking exterior threats, but none of those guys helps your argument.

Why even bring up Mayo?...it doesn't even look like the Grizz are really missing him, Mayo is overrated if you ask me.

They at least had perimeter options no matter how good or bad those guys were... They depend so much on Conley right now on the perimeter will see f that becomes a problem.
Yes they have limited perimeter scoring now as it seems but if you think about it, it allowed them to fully utilise their strengths which is through their bigs. Also didn't people say that Gay was ineffective in playing with Zbo and Gasol? So it seems that the lesser perimeter options helped them in a way as you can see with them being so close to WCF.
Oh and they still have Quincy and Bayless, which are reliable perimeter scorers. They bring about 15 ppg. Perimeter scoring may be their weakness but it's not as bad as it seems.

Ill bet u 200 u won't make that bet forreal
Could happen, but I wouldn't go as far as to bet on it.
Just spit my drink out laughing. Grizzlies beating the Heat? Hahahahaha, that's a good one. A team whose best player is Marc Gasol beating a top 3 team in NBA history led by LeBron James... :roll: :roll:
Heat would stomp the Grizzlies.

Even thought they are up 3-1 against the Thunder they have not been impressive at all in doing that against a team without Westbrook, imo from a style point of view they provide the best match up against the Heat while the GSW provide the most exciting.

Grizzlies matchup well with the Heat. Good enough defensively, they have Tony Allen to defend Wade, Tayshaun would have trouble guarding Lebron, however Toney Allen can switch onto Lebron for stretches, Miami has absolutely no answer for Gasol and Z-Bo, those big bodies would steamroll through skinny bosh and Birdman. Then you have Conley who would win the matchup with Cole or chalmers most of the time. The Heat have a much better bench, but overall this would be a tight series. I can't see many blowouts either way in this one. Both teams play good defense, alot would depend on how consistent Conley can be all series, they would need him to be on target from the perimeter for most of the series. Bayless is a bit of an X-factor, the guy can light it up sometimes, but play awful too.
Only thing that baffles me with Grizz, is the coach plays Arthur too much, and lets Davis rot on the bench. Davis could be that guy to come on and keep the pressure on Heat's lack of size.
Grizz can look lost on offense at times if only z-bo or gasol are on the floor, and Heat are very good at forcing teams into scoring droughts. On the other hand, Z-bo is an excellent offensive rebounder and will exploit alot of second chance points...
Just my spin
Just like how Miami has no defence against Pau and Howard ey? Snap out of it. they double team from the right angle and force extra passes creating more turn over opportunities and bad shots. CB can play Marc 1 on 1 and don't even bother saying otherwise CB is a proven what 7time all star and champion. Throw Joel Anthony/Haslem/Birdman on Zbo and double team whenever either are deep or in position for high percentage shots. The rest of the team has to outplay allen/wade/lebron/battier which is not easy when you have Lebron on the court especially if Lebron/Wade draws quick fouls on the memphis front court.
lettuce be real, there's no way in hell David Stern would allow a bunch of no superstar, unknown to the public players dethrone the Heat. refs gonna bring their A game in the series

howard is limited offensively and doesnt pass as well as Marc gasol.
Pau is not as powerful as Z-bo NTM old now, and Z-bo is hard to stop on the glass and getting his points.
Grizz are alot more organised than the Lakers, and know how to overcome doubleteams. CB is NOT holding Z-bo or Gasol, they will get theirs as they are bigger and stronger. Marc has a very high IQ.
LOL at relying on drawing quick fouls, its like your admitting the refs have Heat's back :lol:
Like Statutory mentioned, Grizz are not a good storyline for the NBA or good for business. If Grizz are to lose this, I would be keeping a close eye on the reffing in this series.
I'll bet you that right now. I'll even put 10k on it if you want. We give the money to a non bias third party. Deal?

What's the point to bet, the op will disappear, it's not like he's atleast known or has reputation here so his account doesn't even worth anything at all for him either.

[QUOTE=BoutPractice]> Why didn't the refs get involved in the 2004 Finals, then?[/QUOTE]
Detroit's play was good enough to beat the refs and the team.
I just thought alot of people are going to be surprised. Not going to the extent of predicting the Grizzlies to become champs, but it's going to be a very tight series if they do get there
If Memphis does reach the Finals, it would be tough for Miami. They always play the Heat tough in their limited action vs. each other. It'd be a great series IMO... I would expect it to go 6-7 games... they're the team with the best shot to beat Miami because of the match-ups and with all of the injuries this year to the other contenders.
They got all the ingredients. Big goons in the middle that aren't soft. A great wing defender who can stick Bron. And a PG that can shoot and penetrate. Their bench is solid as well.
I'm not saying they'd be favorites but Miami would need to play real great ball to win, and I wouldn't be shocked if we seen a rebirth of the 2004 Pistons. And Bron would have to play as great as he did in the ECF last year. But it would be tougher than the Eastern Conference Finals vs. Boston last year just cause with Boston, they relied so much on KG being out there on the floor for their defense. Without him, LeBron and Wade saw the red sea split so to speak.
While Randolph has never been a great defender, he's been decent in this system and I feel like ALL of their guards/wings play better defense than all of Boston's last year... Boston was missing Bradley but Memphis got more depth up front and more wings available.
Plus, Memphis plays defense and gets boards where as the Celtics play great defense but struggle on the boards.

That was sterns version of street justice for Colorado. America. Public wanted Kobe to fail and stern made sure of thay
Way too many retards making guarantees these days. Save the 200 to pay for contraception. Don't want any more retards being brought into the world.

If he had an IQ in the triple digits, he would realize that Memphis is a 7 to 1 dog to win the championship. So he could get 1400 on his 200 if he wasnt such a broke biitch with no balls
[QUOTE=STATUTORY]lettuce be real, there's no way in hell David Stern would allow a bunch of no superstar, unknown to the public players dethrone the Heat. refs gonna bring their A game in the series[/QUOTE]
Unfortunately, this. Stern didn't let Durant and WB (two of the best up-and-coming young superstars in the league) win, why would he let a team led by a couple of all-stars beat them?
The only marketing angle I can see him considering is, "The Most Stacked Team of All Time Loses in the NBA Finals - How Shocking!", but even then I don't think so.

well if you called this before the playoffs I would say damn this guy knows his shit.
But they are up 3-1 and will 99% be representing the West as I do not think SAS/GSW will have anything for them.
See here is the thing the Bulls and Pacers are very similar to Memphis in how they are built. If the Heat play and beat Pacers they will be ready to handle and deal with Memphis as the Pacers are Memphis East basically. Heat beat them in 5 or 6 assuming Wade can actually contribute.
So are people actually watching this series, and coming away impressed by the Grizzlies? Everyone is aware that OKC doesn't have Westbrook, has had Ibaka play like shit 3 of the 4 games, and allows Kendrick Perkins to actually put on a uniform and step on the floor for....right?
And despite all that, every single game has gone to the wire.
One thing that would be interesting about the Memphis/Miami series would be you can't play small ball against them - in other words Battier or Bron can't play the 4 - ZBo is too good down low and too good on the offensive boards.
Tony Allen will have as good a shot as anyone in the NBA of forcing Bron into tough shots as well.
Interesting series due to matchups.
