Interesting Notes

-Memphis has not won at home vs Dallas this season and considering their poor record for an almost 50 win team...that is not a good sign
-Memphis looks for their first playoff win going into this series
-Uncertain of Keith Van Horn will return for the playoffs but Devin Harris and Stackhouse are back and playing

Since the Mavs are a great home team, and the Grizzlies can't beat the Mavs at home, I will say Mavs in 5.

grizzlies better bring their a game..the reason why they finished strong cuz the past 2 years they finished the season 1-5 and 1-6 going into the playoffs so that's why the team believed they had to win games to end the season no matter who they play to avoid a sweep and just have confidence..grizzlies got a stingy defense..they will give mavs a tough time..mavs in 7 tho cuz mavs are just too good..esp nowitzki but i would like to see memphis advance..gotta respect them for not giving a fuck who would they play like the clippers who just used a lame advantage of not trying to win so they can play denver :neutral:

[Midnight_toker]

I want to see the international match between the two 7 footers, Nowitzki and Gasol, even though they have a different style of play. Its a pretty good game so far...
