Memphis has a go to guy in Z-Bo. If Denver had a guy they could go to in the last few minutes of the game, like Memphis was able to with Randolph against SA, then the Denver series could have been very different. Z-Bo is very effective against taller, more athletic players. He’s basically had to play against those type his whole career. I’m not a fan of either team and I probably lean OKC because of home-court, but I am looking forward to this matchup more so then any other in the 2nd round. Personally, I hope Memphis wins because I think the Lakers will have a harder time against OKC then the Grizz, but I think the Grizz match up very differently against OKC then Denver did, and that the Z-Bo element means there is a go to guy to account for.
