I'm excited about this series! Sunday is too far away lol. I'm leaning towards spurs right now. I need to watch some more games.

This Grizz team aint nothin like the Pistons though... Gasol and ZBO are two of the best bigs in the world... Pistons never had any of the best players at their positions unless you say Ben Wallace. But I don't think he was...

It's going to be a a bloodbath in the paint.

Well with Prince, they are exactly 1/5th like the 04 Pistons haha

But in all seriousness, I think there are similarities. Maybe not by actual personnel but Conely is Billups esque the way he plays the pick and roll and creates off the dribble and can hit big 3s.

The main similarity is the way they play defense on the perimeter and defend the paint, which is what I was mostly referring to.

Also forgot about Rasheed, who could play with his back to the basket like Randolph.

Ahh you're right about the defensive part. And actually I do think Conley is Billupsing it up a bit.

Scheduling aside, this should be a good series.

I think Memphis is best suited to oust Miami, so I will hope Memphis wins.
