This a blowout game then? No Griz can contain Steph Curry.

i always feel like it has to be a little awkward for mark jackson to commentate on these warriors games

Not sure if GS can handle Memphis bigs though.

This is exactly what a small group of us said all season long abt the Hawks. The are just like that Bulls team except without a MVP..and despite the MVP the Bulls still lost in 5 (albeit close games). Hence why I am glad the Bulls are not just a regular season team now

Small group? Barely anyone has given the hawks any credit despite them leading the east for months. That is why people were pining for the 4th spot, so that we'd face the hawks instead of the cavs. Analyst continually say that they think that this second round matchup of the cavs and bulls is the true ECF.

The hawks are a nice team, but many have suspected that the lack of a superstar would likely bite them in the ass in the playoffs

Grizzlies need to try survive till Conley is back. After that is another game.

Regression to the mean. They made EVERYTHING in the first half.

Wall just as much a superstar as 07-08 Rondo was.

Wall is certainly a star compared to anyone on that hawks team. Also, Pierce may be older now, but he can make some big plays as well.

Sigh, this Warriors team is too good.

Tenchi Ryu · Post #94 » by **Tenchi Ryu** » Sun May 3, 2015 7:42 pm

Jumpers are falling for GS but Z-bo and gasol just getting anything they want in the paint

We are, but Golden State representing the West in the Finals is just inevitable.
