2013 - Western Conference Finals Preview

Five Minute Sports Report:

Spurs v. Grizzlies.

Watch out NBA fans, this could get ugly. It is nice to see a couple of small market teams make it to the Western Conference Finals. I'll take the Grizzlies in 6. Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph have the edge in the frontcourt. Mike Conley has proven himself to be no slouch this Playoff season. He will match up nicely with Tony Parker. Defensively, the Grizz should throw the Spurs off their game.

I do like the narrative of the Spurs on their last leg and defending the aging dynasty to the last man. I don't like it enough to pick them to win.

Media types may not like the matchup for its lack of drama. Serious hoops fans will appreciate the clash of styles and the exhausting battle that is about to ensue.

Again, Grizzlies in 6.
