Who do you want to face in the 1st round

Looks like we're going to be number two seed baring some massive implosion from the Warriors and if the playoffs started today we'd be up against the Grizzlies. The Thunder are currently the 6th seed and are only 2.5 games up on the Grizzlies while the Blazers are the 8th seed and are 4.5 games back of the Grizzlies.

Betting money is on us facing the Grizzlies but which team would you prefer?

[Cycloneon]

Memphis. I ain't afraid of them. at this point it's either OKC or Memphis, and i'd rather face Memphis because Roberson will give Kawhi fits, Allen is a wee bit too small to guard Kawhi the way Roberson does so he'll have an easier time implementing his offensive scheme


and of course.. I don't want to see Westbrook..

Grizzlies lost to the Thunder last night so us and the Grizzlies in the first round is basically a lock right now.

Not to be a Debbie Downer but I think whoever we play its going to be a struggle because of how we play. Memphis is going to keep games close with their defense so end of the game mistakes are going to be crucial

Agreed. Memphis is just a tough team to plan no matter who you are. There's not a lot of quit on that roster and they play a very physical style.

If we're going to succeed in the playoffs we need to out grind every team we play every night.

I guess it's Memphis then. Looks like it will be a tough series but I'm not worried at all.
Would've loved to face OKC though. Wanna see how far Westbrook's style can take him against a truly elite team on both ends.
But i could get lucky and he makes it past the first round. Who knows?
