    Yes. Griffin was terribly hurt. He's a warrior so he gave it a go in game 5, but he couldn't start game 6. Look at games 1 and 2. That was when Griffin was healthy. NOVoodoo loves injuries to his opponents though. He cheers injuries. Only way his team can win.

    Playoffs bring the intensity up a notch. Take that nice guy game and go home. They're there to "kick ass and chew bubble gum!"

    The Grizz are going to be a tough out. Theyre built for the playoffs.

    I stated the facts and enjoyed while it lasted. As we should. Lakers got theirs though. Lost their top 4 guards and got swept.

    With Westbrook out, OKC basically has one guy who can create his own shot. That is fortunate for Memphis since they only have one as well. Conley played well down the stretch and they won. Last game he made a few mistakes and they lost.

    If you can't dribble in traffic, you are a spectator on offense at the end of NBA games. (Zach was totally neutralized at the end) Blazers have Lillard. If they can get a second player who can create his own shot then they can compete with these teams. And of course some sort of physical presence in the middle.

    Seriously? They can only win if the other team's 2nd best player is injured. And even then, it's close.

    Against injured teams. Chris Paul had to take all the shots cuz Griffin was hurt. Same now with Durant. Maybe I'd be imposed with the Grizzlies had won by 20 tonight, I'd be impressed, but really, they've shown me nothing. They're the worst team remaining in the playoffs. Lucky to be here.

    I'm loving the playoffs. Love the Bulls. Love the Knicks. Love the Warriors. One of those three will win the championship.
