CP doesn't even need to play next. Rockets couldn't handle Griffin. Couldn't stop the scoring of Barnes and JC. Hell...even Rivers and JJ contributed.

With 21 points, 10 rebounds and zero turnovers Monday, Pau Gasol became just the third Bulls player in the last 30 years to have at least 20 points and 10 rebounds without turning the ball over in a playoff game.

Based on what? Stats and simple eye test. I think Gasol and Zbo can get theirs most games, but it won't be easy because Green/Bogut are actually a pretty good combo together defensively. I completely agree that Conley/Allen can defend the perimeter well. Against most teams Allen would be able to do enough to slow down offenses. But this is GS, and probably the best backcourt in basketball right now.

The only chance Memphis has, even with Conley is that guys like Calathes/Carter/Lee/Udrih/Green have big games throughout the series. They just don't have the offense to keep pace and I'm not sure even the best defense can slow GS down that much. They'll have to hope the Warriors have bad shooting nights. They'll have to hope Conley comes back 100% without being bothered by a mask and the injury.

It's just too many "hope-fors and ifs" to make me confident the Grizz can take this past 5. They'll definitely make a run and not go down quick, but if game 1 was any example this could be a very anti-climatic series.

You can't say they match up well based on "stats and eye test."

What you meant to say is "they're a better team." That's true. But when 100% healthy, the Grizz have matched up well against GS.

GS also "match up well" with every single other team in the league based on your definition.

The Cavs are missing their starting PF so they went small ball and Lebron stepped up and grabbed 15 boards. Yeah he had an off shooting night and 2 too many turnovers, but he also had 9 assists, 3 steals, and a block. They lose by 15-20 without Lebron's rebounding contribution.

You're not implying that he was the choker, are you?

This is the worst series for the Cavs to be shorthanded in, because Butler is a great defender who does a nice job against Lebron.
