Sorry but losing to an 8th seed is a new type of bad. Losing 4-1 on your home court to an 8th seed is even worse. Losing 4-1 at home to an 8th seed when you have a championship core is super pathetic.

Plus, Memphis had never even won a playoff game before this series. How much playoff experience to the Grizzly players have? Tony Allen has some, anyone else?

Not to bring up yesterday's argument, but Kobe wouldn't bow out to an inexperienced 8th seed. Ever.

Zach Randolph watched the playoffs once when he was with the Knicks.

If Shaq isn't in there, a player is able to sag off Krstic/baby to help on the penetration.

When Shaq is in there, the player can't help off Shaq because if you help off Shaq it becomes a Shaq dunk.

Shaq with the starters take 42% of their shots from close range. baby, on the other hand, is around 31%. Krstic 35%. It is a big difference, there. Teams also take less shots in the paint against the Shaq unit. Since Shaq is the only guy in the paint, it doesn't crowd it, but you can't leave him. It creates real floor spacing. 5 jump shooters is NOT good spacing.

Jermaine if he holds up health-wise. And his offense is generally Perkins-esque.

Ummm, they're going to help off of Shaq regardless, its what you do. Particularly if he's just standing on the other side of the lane. In fact, it means that the person who is guarding KG doesn't have to come in and help, meaning bosh can stay at home on KG and take away that 18ft jumper of his.
