Not really a big Memphis fan but to me they are the best chance in the West at beating the Heat. Amazing what Randolph can do without being able to jump. Gasol is by far the best center in the league and IF they get to the Heat, Miami doesn't have a big guy that can stop him.
IMO, Roy Hibbert has that honor, but Gasol is really good. You can tell that he is from Europe because as a big man, he is so much more multi-dimensional than most centers.
I don't really watch Memphis too much, so Im asking this as a serious question. Who do they have that can guard LeBron and Wade?
Tony Allen can match up very well with Wade. LeBron would have to be taken by Prince, which would be problematic I would think.
I'd say either Tony Allen or Teyshaun Prince, but neither one matches up extremely well. But then again, who does any team have that can match up physically with Lebron? The matchup that will cause a lot of problems for the Heat is Gasol and Randolph, as well as Conley at PG. The achilles heel of the Heat for the past 3 years has been their inability to match up with quick PGs.
Heat have too much talent and the Bulls don't have enough. This is the reason why game 1's don't mean as much.
I really haven't watched much NBA until the playoffs. I was surprised - considering the good stats he put up during the regular season - how terrible Jack looks playing. He's like a black hole where their offense goes to die.
Hey I'm rooting for GS. So if I gotta go negative to motivate then so be it
