5. Clippers vs 4. Grizzlies
- Are the Grizzlies the "Dark Horse" team in the West? - Based on last year's run in the playoffs, this team has some playoff experience under their belt. So this team has match advantages that allows this team to play with any team in the West. This series could be the one in which the Grizzlies could be matched with their youthful legs in the younger Clippers team.
- Can CP3 guide this young Clippers team to win this series? If CP3 was able to get two wins from Lakers last year with the team he had in New Orleans, then I know he can lead this team to at least one win if not two. However, it may be the hardest thing CP3 will have to do for his career. The Grizzlies have the match-ups that could make this hard and not work for CP3.
- Can Z-Bo recapture his dominance as he did last year in the Playoffs? 0 Coming from a knee injury he suffered earlier this season, Z-Bo has been coming off the bench over the last few weeks. He'll return to the starting lineup now and he may have the match-up he needs to restore his dominates as he did last post-season.
- Rudy Gay vs Blake Griffin, which Playoff new comer will shine the most in this series? Rudy Gay has lead this Grizzlies team in the absence of Z-Bo. As for Blake Griffin, he's posterized the Clippers into the playoffs by dunking one just about every big man in the game. But Griffin may be asked to do something that he's not acustomed to do, play DEFENSE for once. If there's one thing, Griffin doesn't do is he's not a good defender. That could be good thing for guys like Guy and Z-Bo who Griffin will have to check at one point or another in this series. Very hard task for the young stud. Welcome to the Playoffs.
Confidence Pick: Clippers (33), Grizzlies (21)
Series Prediction: Grizzlies in 6
