If ever Cp3 and dwight will be playing for the lakeshow, their roster will change. lamar and artest may be traded.. just like miami heat, LBJ, CB, D.wade + dorrel wright, michael beasley, jermaine o'neal..

tapos LAL, CP3, Dwight, Kobe, Gasol, Artest, Odom, Bynum? another no ehe.. matutulad LAL sa miami non, they sacrificed their bench..

Toomoooo! Ano ba akala nila? Nabibili ng pera yung kasiyahang ganyan? HINDI! Si Ewing, Barkley at Malone ibebenta lahat ng award magkaroon lang ng kahit 1 NBA championship eh.

I forgot who mentioned KD being an LAL guy after KB24 retires after next season (if LAL wins their 4th in row... YABANG KO! Manghuhula ba?! hehe). That woudl be a better thing, kahit trade pa si Artest. But LO, Bynum and PAU should not be dissolved. Yun advantage nila ngayon eh.

Wow panalo ang Grizzlies sa Spurs! That was a very big upset! I really never imagined this...

Its really now an end of an era for the Spurs. They are getting old and ragged.

But that also means a likely LAL vs OKC West Finals!

Not good for an LAL fan like me...

Pero we have to remind ourselves... MEM actually won 3-1 against OKC during their regular season meetings...

tama, and to think we didn't expect the 8th seed to defeat the 1st seed..
so its still anybodys ball game and a team should win 4 games to advance to the next series..

And in the Playoffs it's 0-0

We'll never know if there will be another upset with this round ehe.

Memphis' record during the regular season vs 2nd round teams:

MEM vs OKC 3-1
MEM vs DAL 3-1
MEM vs LAL 2-2

MEM vs CHI 0-2
MEM vs BOS 1-1
MEM vs MIA 1-1
MEM vs ATL 0-2

VS SAS 2-2 ang record ng MEM nung regular season. Mukhang may say talaga ang Memphis sa mga western teams ah...

mas gusto ko ngang makalaban ng Lakers ang OKC kesa MEM. their frontline can cancel out Lakers big men.

Amen to that. When Mem got Tony Allen and Shane Battier, they had the playoff exerience they needed. Zach randolph has been an all-star player all along. Hirap na talaga pigilan yan noon pa kaso bad fit siya sa previous teams niya before. Pero 20-10 guy na talaga yan just like Al Jefferson. Good thing nga na naging maganda na team niya ngayon.

I'd say they defeating SAS is a surprise but definitely not a fluke. Nonetheless, I think OKC is just too motivated and KD will be difficult to stop so LAL vs OKC sa west. Sa east, whomever wins in the MIA vs BOS series will get it barring any injury.

The Memphis Grizzlies is a revelation this post-season, first time they advanced into the second round, their match-up with Oklahoma should be worth watching.

The Lakers are in for some real battle assuming they get past the Mavs against either the Grizzlies or the OKC Thunder in the Western Conference Finals.
