They are gonna escape Memphis because it looks like Conley is hurt. But there are big issues there. Indiana looks like they may get through as well but the flaws of both teams are pretty apparent.

Memphis blew it last night. Cost me a nice bet needed them in the series and I cant see them winning a game 7 on the road. I need Golden St to win, same situation though... tough to win a game 7 on the road.

The amount of stud PGs in the league is pretty exciting if you ask me.

Unbelievably good series.

Some terrible defense on the last play by Houston. Harden watching the paint dry on the picket fence and why have a guy on the ball on the side with .9 seconds left. Great series

DeAndre Jordan is still the key

Toronto had every chance. Timid finish against a veteran squad won't cut it.

Marcus Thornton with a very solid game.

Should be a great series against the Heat.

I agree, but the problem is Memphis is the team best able to exploit those flaws. The Clippers and Spurs, not so much. Clippers will be really tough, and if OKC gets past that, so will the Spurs. But those teams can't play like Memphis did, not even close.

Over/Under on Griffin/Ibaka scuffles during series set at 2.5.

Paul being less than 100% helps. Not having to fade Tony Allen anymore will help more. Still have to find consistent 3rd scoring option. Clippers a far different look on offense but can cause them issues. Perkins shouldnt play nearly as much which will help OKC on offense. I'd be surprised to see this one not go 7.

Maybe I'm just being a square here but Clippers +175 for the series seems too good to pass up....
