NBA - Breaking down the Western Conference playoffs - ESPN

Arnovitz: Clippers in 7. As a kid, there were few things more exhilarating than coming to the end of the best roller coaster in the park, then getting right back in line to do it all again. That's what we're in store for with the redux of this classic from the '12 postseason. The Grizzlies' defense won't be stumped for long stretches, but the Clippers are an efficient crew and have a ball stopper in Eric Bledsoe, who could be a decisive factor in a razor-thin series.

Cianfrone: Clippers in 7. The series will be a slugfest, and ultimately it will come down to the smallest things like how a ball bounces, or who gets to a 50-50 ball first. When a series looks this tight, I always go to the team with the best player. Since Chris Paul is that player, in the series, I go Clippers.

Foster: Clippers in 7. It's always smart to side with the drastically better defensive team, but the Grizzlies are still prone to terrible play in the beginning of fourth quarters. Lightning isn't supposed to strike twice, but the Clippers' second unit could very easily bail out the starters in a big spot and swing the series once again.

Han: Clippers in 5. Memphis could probably beat any other team in the West. But Lob City is an odd matchup for the Grizzles. The Clippers last season were up 3-1 before injuries dragged them down and forced a Game 7. Both teams are greatly improved and largely healthy. And the only thing assured in this series is that every game will be very close.

Strauss: Clippers in 6. The absence of Rudy Gay works in the Grizzlies' favor, but I'll err on the side of extra minutes for Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. A "Tribe Called Bench" got much media coverage, but this team's strength lies in what happens when that bench shrinks. As for the Grizz, I love that defense, but that offense isn't well-equipped to exploit the Clippers' mediocre D on shooters.



No love from whoever those people are. I too picked the Clippers in 7 but I'll be rooting for you. I've started to dislike Blake Griffin over time and Caron Butler is a punk.

Ya know... I already thought it was a bush league move to being with but it was his reaction that really made me dislike him.

So please take out the Clippers if you could.
