I feel like people actually think this but it's not true at all. Dwight is closer to 6'9-6'10. Ridiculous to compare his physical attributes to Shaq at any point. He's not just going to back centers down and score unless he's playing a scrub.

Idk how you can call yourself a knowledgeable NBA fan and say that series ends in 5
We are talking about the two heavyweights of the West no way that ends in 5 seeing the way they slugged it out in the regular season, i'd say 6 or 7 games
LAC-MEM wouldn't be nearly as good without the star-power or exciting basketball

true but people are getting a lot higher on them throughout this series of Houston *** whoopings.
Spurs kind of played like poo for most of that series (to what they're capable of) and it still came down to the last minute of game 7

GS's guard play and depth would be too much for them. Legit think Clippers are better off facing Memphis.

You can say what you want, but my opinion is that GSW wins that series in 5. It may go 6, but I just don't see them losing if they get through us. No way the Clippers put the same pressure on them that Memphis did. Regular season matchups or not.

Lebron is not your average guy.
Delladova though, he wouldn't be scratching my play.
With Lebron, I'd say with confidence, "Ok Lebron, go be great"

I'm definitely not counting them out
Oh no I'm not saying you, I was just quoting you cause I know you been one of the most logical posters here but I just meant in general. Since last night I been seeing people talk crazy on the Dubs but I'm still 100% confident the warriors will come back.

This year. I just see the Clippers struggling with those guards and depth. Memphis I think they can grind it out.

I always thought before the playoffs started that everyone thought GSW biggest problem would be the Spurs. I never heard people say the Clippers would give GSW trouble . I don't see why that changes now.

LAC - GSW would be more exciting. The recency of the rivalry, combined with the star power. Much more sexier.
I do think Memphis would be the easier matchup. This is a different Clipper team man. It doesn't really matter who you put on CP because he's using and abusing that horns set and getting mismatches all over. Highest defensive rating in the playoffs thus far. Blake is a different player. Deandre is a different player. Austin, Jamal, I mean...this team is a tough out right now and I don't see memphis or gsw winning. Think ultimately, Memphis's lack of 3 point shooting and offensive droughts would be their downfall against us.

Considering the type of playoff series Memphis and LAC had in the past, I don't see how GSW-LAC rivalry is better . You are talking about 3 years worth of battles between the Clippers and Grizzlies. About 25 games against each other since 2012?
Any time a team is forced into playing at a tempo they don't want to play at, it will never make things "easier" . This is the same thing that got people saying GSW would run through Memphis. Even though I think LAC would lose to GSW, I bet they would rather play them over Memphis. I know damn well those guys don't want to play ANOTHER series against us considering how physical it can get.

LAC/Grizz > LAC/GSW, for sure.
Ratings would favor the latter, but **** ratings, as a fan I can, with no hesitation, say the better series to watch would without a doubt be LAC/Grizz

Clips/Grizz would be fun for basketball nerds. Good old fashion grinding out 7 games.

Sometimes Coaching is delegating and trusting, not saying, "hey, I'm the boss, my *** is on the line not yours, shut up and run MY PLAY"
Difference between managing your players, and being their boss.
