Celtics vs Heat，『Trash-Talk 王』vs『Rap-Talk 王』!
As far as the match-up of MEM vs Spurs (really Spurs？)，Grizzlies is really worth to advance in this series！

15 minutes to game 6! I am getting ready for this game! Then again, if the Spurs can somehow force a game 7, their chances are 60-40, I think for 2 main reasons:

A) They will be at home
B) A young team losing 2 in a row after being up 1-3 in the series would definitely play a role in player's minds.

Keep in mind though, the Spurs ain't young and we've seen them making mistakes quite alot in this series. So there is NO guarantee they will win even if they force a game 7. That is why I only give them a 60-40 chance here.

The Memphis Grizzlies have done it! Wow! Thank you, and now the Lakers are guaranteed home court thru at least the WCF!

Quick prediction, the Thunder / Grizzlies series will be a long one and I pick the Thunder winning in 6 for 3 reasons:

A) They have more playoffs experience
B) They have better range than the Grizzlies, and if I am not wrong the Grizzlies are only #23 in 3 pt shots this year. That's not a good number.
C) The Thunder have home court and the Grizzlies are too tired now to bounce back in game 1 against the Thunder on Sunday.

1st have to congrat memphis go to next round for 1st time and made a franchise record. 4th team to eliminate top seed team is really a honour.
celtic vs heat will be really tough game.. look at cetic vs knicks games, celtic really play very beautiful teamwork game. if they can continue play that style, and bring in shaq, it will be very hard time for heat. For heat, they gain some new power now, early or mid season we can see only LBJ and D.wade play bigger role with alot of scoring and block compare with c.bosh, but look at bosh now, he is more aggressive and more often bring ball to under basket now. This is very important to heat due to their center problem. with bosh doing this, he can create more space to LBJ and wade, and often can get some foul also, opponent will get foul trap and his FT is good.

我唔係想馬後炮；馬刺其實在 Game 5 就應該畢業了！
Anyway，恭喜灰熊奪 Conference semi-final 最後一個席位！

If you look at some of my earlier posts, you will find my views on both series.

In short, it will be a great series between all 4 teams, as in the case between the Cs and the Heat; I think the team with a better bench will have an edge, which should be the Cs. Then again, James haven't been able to beat them when he played for the Cavs twice, now he will have a ton of pressure on himself if he cannot beat again for the third time in Miami.

As for the Grizzlies / Thunder series... I am still picking the Thunder in 6 or 7.

綠軍與熱火第一仗結果 ...  

在白茫茫一片的 American Airlines Arena，熱火以由頭帶到尾以 99 比 90 奪得 Game 1 的勝利！
當中 D. Wade 就表現得最出色！個人獨取 38 分！

呢場如所料有不少『火花』...
其中 J. Oneal 被罰 Flagrent Foul，而 Paul Pierce 更在第四節中段被 Ejected！

今場綠軍表現在水準之下！
整體 spacing 幾亂，KG 被 Double Team 爆，Rondo 外投又無貨交，

但熱火表亦不見得非常好；
幾乎全部得分集中於兩巨頭 (D. Wade 及 LBJ) 同一個 bench (J. Jones) - 99 分中的 85 分
(在 palyoff 中持續出現這樣的情況是唔好的！)

由於頭兩場是熱火主場，綠軍祇要二勝一就完成了任務！
波士頓加油！

無睇 MEM 對 OKC 呢場波；
估計應該幾好睇 (應該屬於有前冇後個種)

睇 Box Score 同 Highlight 好似雷霆真係無人 match-up 到阿肥仔 Randolph，
而灰熊戰勝馬刺的策略 (高佬 + 體力化) 又好似 apply 到在 Thunder 身上！

現在『黑八』成功取得一場作客勝利！
看來雷霆真係加多幾把勁至得！

I actually stayed up and watched that one... guess I have nothing better to do, haha

The Thunder were just too careless with the ball with 22 TOs (I think), and Westbrook for one reason or another just could NOT finish near the rim, and kept missing layups. In short, the Thunder were playing catch up pretty much the whole game, yet kept making mistake one after another through out. They should feel lucky it wasn't a blow out thanks in part by their FT attempts were nearly double than the Grizzlies.

Like I've expected, the Grizzlies' outside shooting weren't really that effective (making only 2 3-ptrs), and they rely so much on inside scoring. Though the latter is their strenght, but I think the Thunder were slowly figuring out how to stop the ball from going to Z-Bo by the 4th qtr; it was just a little too late for them. So we will see how things go in game 2. One thing is for sure, if the Grizzlies want to steal another win in OKC, they will need to come out with the same energy level like they did in game 1, AND, try something new to give both Z-Bo and Gasol the ball. Whatever worked in game 1 will likely NOT going to work in the next game with the way things went toward the end of this game.

As for the Thunder, Westbrook is their key. He needs to try handling the ball MUCH better and be able to finish at the hoop! James Harden is another key for them, they lacked bench scoring when I thought their bench was consistant... not in game 1 for sure. That's all. Great game 1 for sure! I enjoyed the entire game!

now have to "請輸入5個中文字以上！" only can reply???
"thanks in part by their FT attempts". last series vs SA spurr also score alot FT compare to them,but stil lose the series. spurr's 3pts is off fire due to memphis's really good defensive play during that series. I think 3pts play will be a key play to win memphis if durant can make it as what he does as usual. he throw very fast, and his height and long hand make almost nobody can block his 3pts shot. same like spurr, there is nobody in OKC can guard randolph effectively. they have to come out a way to stop ball fr going to randolph and make lesser mistake. both teams(SA and OKC) made alot more TO compare to memphis, this is a significant disadvantage.

Two things I wanted to add to your comment.

If I were Memphis, I would try everything I could to MAKE Durant a jump shooter in this series! No doubt, Durant is an above average shooter, but shooting is not his strength; and he would only fall into Memphis' trap if he keeps shooting outside jumpers instead of attacking the hoop. If I counted correctly, most of the fouls commited by the Grizzlies were within the restricted area, only a few fouls were made during outside shooting. Along the same line of thinking, if the Thunder want to make sure they have a healthy amount of FT attempts, they HAVE to attack the hoop!

Secondly, you said no one on the Thunder can really guard Z-Bo... well, you seem to forget about Perkins. He did quite ok against Z-Bo, and making it hard for him to get into his prefered post position. Also, slowing him down is only part of the situation. I thought in game 1 the Thunder never really do anything with their big men to really MAKE Z-Bo WORK! The Thunder never really challenged him on neither end of the floor until late in the 4th qtr, but it was a bit too late in my opinion.

As for turnovers, the Thunder will KEEP commiting those TOs when Memphis is one of the top teams in forcing TOs. If the Thunder don't rebound well and finish around the hoop (missing layups), they CANNOT win this series. It is simple as that.

支持熊仔老8傳奇，一於入到Final~!!!

Let me just say this as a Lakers fan... championship teams don't usually lose game 1s anywhere, let alone losing TWO game 1s AT HOME in TWO series in a row? Geez... we (the Lakers) suck!
