Would Memphis beat Miami?

[L8krH8tr]

Do you think the Slow tough style vs the heat would be interesting ?

[GetBuckets]

I think Memphis can take the Heat

[L8krH8tr]

Me too

[Milbuck]

I actually thought Memphis last year could've taken out the Heat. They were the prototypical Heat-stopping team. And they had a terrific coach. I don't think they'd win this season, but they'd be a really tough out.

[PickernRoller]

A toss up. They have no answer for two scoring, rebounding bigs.

The Heat can neutralize either Zach or Gasol but not both. I would assume the Heat would also try to shut down their ball handlers like the Spurs did. I think the Grizzlies have improved in this area.

[dabigbaws]

yes

[Lebron23]

With a healthy Wade. Miami in 5.

[IncarceratedBob]

With a healthy Gasol. Grizz in 5.

[Prometheus]

no. tony allen can't bother LeBron the way he shuts down westbrook/Durant. lbj would feast, heat in 4

[Mr. Incredible]

No chance.

But they could beat the Thunder....

[KDthunderup]

Heat in 5

[leMVP]

In a series?

Nope.

But it would be 6-7 games series only due to size advantage in the paint.

[rzp]

no. tony allen can't bother LeBron the way he shuts down westbrook/Durant. lbj would feast, heat in 4

This.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Nope. Heat would play small ball against them and Gasol/Randolph wouldn't be able to handle the minutes they are getting now, especially if games went to overtime.

Allen is NOT a lebron stopper.

[Draz]

I see it happening

[Lebron23]

That's why Durant won't survive in the eastern conference playoffs against the 2011 Chicago Bulls, 2012 Boston Celtics, and 2013 Indiana Pacers. These teams played some physical, gritty defense.

[ArbitraryWater]

Heat in 4

[FLDFSU]

Yes, the same people who think the Heat are the most stacked team of all time, are the same people who now think that Memphis would defeat the Heat.

Can yall please make up your minds?

Please?

[secund2nun]

Miami would win but Memphis does present problems for Miami.

[B4llin]

With a healthy Wade. Miami in 5.


Without Wade, Memphis in 4. :roll:

[Megabox!]

I could honestly see it going to 7 games

[Marlo_Stanfield]

heat in at most 5.
they would run circles around these fools.
cant win with chokers like gasol and randolph against a clutch team like miami.
maybe enough for ChokeKC but not for Miami
lmfao at these kobetards now jumping ship from their savior Durant to the grizzlies.
you guys are to much:roll: :roll:

[Lebron23]

Without Wade, Memphis in 4. :roll:


Not really. Last year Miami beat a superior spurs team who beat a much better grizzlies team in 7 games.

[deja vu]

They have a better chance now of beating the Heat. That's partly because of the Heat's slight decline.

I don't think they'll make it out of the West.

[EnoughSaid]

Nope. Miami's defense would abuse and trap Conley, and by going small they would prevent Gasol and Randolph from causing too much damage.

The thing with the Thunder is that Westbrook and Durant take SO MANY outside shots, not even bothering to attack the rim. Thunder's offense is also very ISO heavy and there's no ball movement. Miami works the ball and gets a good shoot.

Miami in 5.

[thabisyo]

Who will stop lebron and wade? Tony allen :roll:

[hahaitme]

Well rather than jack up 3's like KD and RWB, LeBron and Wade would be driving in and probably getting buckets or fouls.
Either that or they'd just kick it out to Ray / Jones and well, we all know what they can do from the arc

[zoom17]

If Memphis goes on droughts like tonight they have no chance they wont choke like OKC.

[dc_chilling]

Honestly, Lebron has been eating Tony Allen alive dating back to his Celtics days. You can't win a physical war against LBJ, he is just superior. Their size could be a problem but the Heat would take it in 6 imo.

[Relinquish]

Heat in 5

:eek: :eek: :eek:

[dazzer87]

No. Heats in 5

[Cocaine80s]

no, spoelstra is a way better coach than brooks

[Keno]

heat in 5 no problems.

[Solefade]

Lol as if Heat don't play slow paced grind it out teams in the east



Heat in 4. 5 max.

[plowking]

People doing anything to convince themselves, and trying everything to take away from Bron and the Heat.

Basketball really is back to normal.

This :roll:

[russwest0]

The Grizzlies have the best record in the NBA vs the Miami Heat Big 3 team.

Their coach is no joke either. If Heat fans truly believe Spo is a shit coach, he'd get exposed in that matchup just like Brooks is getting exposed right now.

[Droid101]

Easily.

[Droid101]

no, spoelstra is a way better coach than brooks
:roll:


Heat fans, ladies and gentlemen.

[ImKobe]

Spurs will sweep Memphis in the WCF again probably.

[dc_chilling]

:roll:


Heat fans, ladies and gentlemen.

He's right though. Spo is a much better coach than Brooks. Any coach who think Perkins is a starter in the NBA deserves to be fired.

[VIntageNOvel]

Not really. Last year Miami beat a superior spurs team who beat a much better grizzlies team in 7 games.

its called match up bro
this is some rock scissor paper thing

[RoundMoundOfReb]

:roll:


Heat fans, ladies and gentlemen.
How is that a ridiculous statement? It's true.

And no they wouldn't. Heat in 5/6.

[Droid101]

BROOKS ISN'T THE COACH OF MEMPHIS

[dc_chilling]

BROOKS ISN'T THE COACH OF MEMPHIS

I know. I thought he meant that because Spo is a better coach, he won't make the same stupid mistakes Brooks makes.

[Kiddlovesnets]

They would if Memphis were in the Eastern Conference. However, the Grizzlies aint getting past Spurs so no way they make it to NBA finals.

[Mr.Kite]

They beat the spurs in the first round 2 years ago.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

BROOKS ISN'T THE COACH OF MEMPHIS
He obviously meant that Spoelstra wouldn't get out coached the way Brooks has. Nowhere did he say Brooks is Memphis' coach.

[yarrak]

Heat in 6. Heat would eat them alive. They'll win 1 or 2 games due to size advantage.

[RagaZ]

Why in the world would win Miami win easily?

How many games have Miami's Big 3 won in Memphis? What's the record in general?

Memphis owns them.

[SillyRabbit]

Memphis is specifically designed to take down Miami.

There's no question that The Heat would be down 2-1 or even 3-0 if they were in OKC's position.

[JT123]

Why in the world would win Miami win easily?

How many games have Miami's Big 3 won in Memphis? What's the record in general?

Memphis owns them.
Going 2-2 against Miami in their last 4 matchups is owning them? :roll: :roll:
Kids say the craziest things.

[J Shuttlesworth]

They split 1-1 this season, but Wade wasn't playing in the game they lost. Miami w/ healthy Wade = win in 6

[JT123]

This. :lol It's like if they can convince themselves Memphis would beat Miami, it doesn't make Durant's choke job look so bad. :coleman:
PATHETIC! :facepalm

[JT123]

They split 1-1 this season, but Wade wasn't playing in the game they lost. Miami w/ healthy Wade = win in 6
Agreed. The last meeting the Heat totally controlled the game for the first 3 quarters, even without Wade! The Grizzlies just hit a bunch of lucky shots the whole game, and Miami's role players couldn't keep up. Even Randolph hit a 3 in that game! :biggums: That is how lucky the Grizz were that night. :oldlol:

They're still a solid team though. They would give the Heat a lot of trouble but not more than the Spurs.

[J Shuttlesworth]

That shit the Grizzlies pulled in the 4th today... scoreless for 6 minutes... that shit won't fly when you're playing the Heat

[Rose'sACL]

BROOKS ISN'T THE COACH OF MEMPHIS
are you retarded or do you make these types of posts to fit in with other lakers fans?

[All Net]

There's bigs would give them fits but Memphis don't have the scoring to beat them in a series.

[Dresta]

BROOKS ISN'T THE COACH OF MEMPHIS
:lol

You have really poor intuition man if you think that's what he meant.

[Hoopz2332]

With a healthy Wade. Miami in 5.


this

[BoutPractice]

Not enough scoring, shooting. Miami have the defense but they can also get hot from 3. Memphis might make it interesting but Miami would eventually win.
