None of the 5-8 seeds are typical. The west is stacked. God I wish more players would go east
OKC & Grizzlies going 6 or 7. The Grind house will be madness for game 3-4!!
If morants 100 percent they can beat OKC.
Okc up and down grizzlies could beat em
Aside from the ridiculous Luka trade, Memphis is the wrong team for them to play with no Kyrie. It's unbelievable this team was in the finals just a year ago
Grizzlies may surprise the world, they can beat okc if ja stays healthy. Okc did season sweep grizzlies but that was with Taylor Jenkins, now is a different coach. No one will care if you can sweep a reg season series, no one will care if you can win 68 games, in playoffs all 16 teams starts from 0-0. Okc may have the come court advantage, better team but grizzlies have the experience to compromise it. Not saying that grizzlies will definitely win but okc will definitely struggle against ja, jjj, bane. Is going to be either okc in 6/7 or grizzlies in 6/7
This first round with the grizzlies and thunder is gonna be wild
They’re gonna get swept.
GG Grizzlies
AD a fxckin beast
OKC in a 4 game sweep. Memphis ain't ready for what's about to come. SGA is the MVP.
2 of the best. SVP + LEGS
you know why? because 8-3 seed are essentially seperated by 2-3 games
Grizz in 6
You gotta make it to the CHAMPIONSHIP NICO…to have an opportunity to play defense!
Logic is flawed.
2:56 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nico got ta go
hey, okc & memphis have history. It should be fun.
It would be hilarious if Memphis upsets OKC and sends the free throw merchant home 😂
We saw the reason why Klay is no longer with the warriors
They lost to Warriors to drop into this game and were 4-6 going into the playoffs. They just aren't a good team but should be. It will be interesting to see if they move on from Ja and get better leadership. I think the NBA should add better incentives for winning as well. Teams don't get paid for making the play in right? And then if they make the 8th seed, they make the same whether they make it a 7 game series or not. Just like $30,000. Maybe it should be like every game they WIN they get an extra $30k. They have to make it to the NBA finals to get over $700,000 total vs the mid-year tournament money is MUCH better per game played… so weird.
Grizzlies are way too underrated.
Derrick Lively and P.J. Washington both scored 0 points while Dante Exum scored only 3 points.
That’s how you injure Anthony Davis
Lmao AD talking bout he don’t go nowhere. Thump him and he’s out for 5 games 😂
Davis lied, he went home hurt again…
SGA vs Ja with teams that match up similarly in a series?! Sign me up!
Im a Nuggets fan. Go Grizzlies. Nuggets against Memphis in the 2nd round 💪
The Grizzlies are the Knicks of the West: good team that cannot consistently beat great teams but still dangerous for many.
AS a Memphian, this is positive spin to the people to watch a couple of these game. OKC is going to bury us. If we get a gentleman sweep, I’d be happy
