I really don't think so. As bad as Brooks is, the Grizz just won't be able to score enough. And if Tony Allen is out, they won't be able to slow Durant. Add Conley playing hurt and that home crowd? I just don 't think it's possible.

Tony Allen is out too?

Just read about that one. That may impact the game as much as anything. Bad luck for the Grizzlies for sure.

Clippers

I'll take the Pacers. They aren't going to lose again to that terrible Hawks team at home. Not with their season on the line.

That's the way their season went. Thunder lost Westbrook in the playoffs last year. Them's the breaks. Grizz had a great chance to win the series in Game 6 and didn't take advantage.

David Aldridge @daldridgetnt
Brutal last-second loss to Portland will not cost Kevin McHale his job, per source. Rockets will bring McHale back for 2014-15.

Biggest concern with McHale is that he hasn't convinced his best player to give a shit about defense, and the team devolves into nothing but iso's at the end of games. Not sure that changes without a new coach.

Hibbert decided to show up

Hibbert just took the first 6 games off, I guess.

I still think if the Pacers are lucky enough to make the East finals, they'll show up. Their entire season and focus has been about beating the Heat, everything else has been secondary. Even if they beat this bad Hawks team, though, who knows if they'll actually beat the Wizards? Washington is a hell of a lot better than Atlanta. Just such an odd team.
