I hate that the Wolves and Grizzlies are playing each other in this first round. I wouldn't mind seeing either team win. Minnesota hasn't won a series since 2004 and Memphis has had a bunch of solid teams over the past decade that just couldn't make much noise come playoff time. They did make the conference finals in 2013 but got swept by the Spurs. [Reply]

Agreed. I like both teams a lot, but I'm cheering for the Wolves.
I wonder what the idiots who claim "there's no defense in the NBA" think about literally every playoff (and play-in) game up to this point. [Reply]
