Both OKC and Denver would be a rough series for us. I think our best chance at making a first round upset would be against the spurs. That said, I don't think this team will win more than 2 games no matter who they play.

With that said, I just think Denver is a matchup nightmare for us. Their bigs are far too athletic and strong for our PFs to match up with. Both matchups are rough, I just think OKC is not quite as rough. We played them well in the season, so we could make it interesting

I would choose Denver just because they are the worst road team and I think the series would last longest against them. A case can be definitely made for the banged up spurs though.

Admittedly, I forgot exactly how 1st round NBA playoff TV coverage works, but if it works how I think it does, for selfish reasons, I'm rooting hard for OKC and so should anyone else who doesn't have CSN.

TNT and NBATV will have the games that ESPN and ABC doesn't have during the playoffs.

That was a textbook first quarter...for Memphis. Pace is slow and they've thrown a monkey wrench in our offense.

As long as the game isn't on NBA TV, I think you guys without CSN will be ok.

Ugly first half for the most part, although those last two 3's make the deficit not as imposing.

Decent 3rd quarter...cut the lead to 5. Someone else besides Harden has got to get in on the offense, though.

Some playoff intensity right now...and that was a horsecrap charging call...not even close to being a charge.

Amen! It was a fast freaking break and the defender could barely keep pace with Harden let alone set up to take a charge....can't afford to have Harden sit

Offense has been awful the last few minutes...poor decision-making and no ball movement.

Should have been been a foul on Tony Allen for the reach but it was off of Harden

You gotta be kidding me, that's not a body foul on Gasol?

Not a good foul by Beverley there...just play D...although it worked out with Conley missing a FT.

Tough one to lose...this was a Memphis pace all game. Still had our chances, though.
