As title asks.., also, how do you think they match up with the Jazz or Clippers?
I personally hope they get the Clippers, Paul vs Conley, Gasol vs Jordan, and i like watching ZBo vs Blake battle.

Im pretty confident we would win any series if we rank from 3rd to 6th. Even against the spurs, we might have a chance. I would not like to face the GSW till the WCF.

All being said, I believe we will end up 6th or 7th. For some reason, this team falls a little bit at the end of the season. (saving fuel for po? :roll:

)

For a change, I would like to play against Houston Rockets. Never faced them before. If im not wrong, We have played in po mostly against Clippers, Spurs and thunder) (Just one series against Blazers and suns/mavs in the old era Pau era)

It's a dangerous gamble to slack off at the wrong time. After the trade deadline clears up, it's back to work. So far the Rox just bolster up their backcourt by acquiring Lou Williams tonight. More scoring for the Rox. If the Grizzlies were to meet up with the Rox in the playoffs, they better learn to fight fire with fire and get a couple of upgrades by Thursday.

They are just adding more of the same. That doesnt make em more dangerous in my opinion. This game is only played with one ball and I have reasons to believe that Harden wont share it a lot in playoffs. Id rather matchup with the rockets and slow the pace and play superdefense than playing against spurs or jazz.

I guess the reason for me to say the Rox are dangerous team is that for once this Mike D'Antoni led team has defense for a change. Most of his teams he has led hardly had defensive catalysts if ever. Given the reason why D'Antoni teams made great regular season teams offensively, but come playoff time, they hit a brick wall with a defense first team like with the Spurs/Suns series and they find themselves out of the playoffs. My concern is that although we have the defense, do we have enough offense to take the fight to them and put them out of the playoffs if we end up meeting them?

Defense? they gor rid of Brewer who was one of their best defenders and now ive heard rumors that Berverly might be gone as well.

Anyway, I think if we play against the Rockets, Chances are that all the games will be decided in the last 5 minutes. So It will all depend on Conley hitting that three, Harden turning over the ball, Zbo jumpers or Gordon threes from the corner. The one who hits first wins.

The Grizz as constructed have a chance against every team in the West including the Warriors, but the right deal at the deadline could propel this improbable group to even new heights. No deal and they probably remain at Sixth seed, trade Tony Allen and JaMychal Green picking up a starting SG & either a PF or legit backup PG and I would say the Four seed = EASY!

It would be stupid to get off Beverley. He's the bulldog type of player you need on the roster. If the Rox trade him and get a lesser piece back in return, they are stupid for that. As for trading Brewer, what was the point of it when they are now trying to get a perimeter defender to complete their roster? They are rumored to be after Iman Shumpert. If you ask me, both guys are tick for tack.

I think the Rox may have gotten greedy here. Then again, its Mike D'Dantoni. You can never have too much offense.
