Nice matchups in this round and if anything it should give us some good hoops to watch.
Memphis +6.5
The Grizzlies are a good team. Are they better than the Thunder, probably not over a seven game series, but in this game they will be.
The Grizzlies are the exact opposite of the Thunder. The Grizzlies have power and size inside and although the Thunder have Perk, it is not enough to handle the Grizz game.
Connelly at the point will be a key player in this game on defense along with Tony Allen.
Allen is intense and going up against Durant. Allen is pesky and relentless and brings something to this game that will give the Thunder big problems.
Heat -5
Key to this series is Wade. He needs to score--James will get his, but Wade's number shave been gross against the Celtics. Home court and the fact that this will get chippy is in favor of the Heat.
I don't think this one is close and as a Celtic fan, that is scary.
