C.J McCollum has been impressive in this series, finally starting to break out. Good to see after the injuries he had in his rookie year.

If Conley gets healthy I think they probably have the best chance of slowing them down on the offensive end. Conley and Curry on Steph and Klay with Gasol to patrol around. But dont think the griz have enough firepower the other way

Without Conley the Grizz will struggle big time I think. Especially with Beno on one leg, and I don't expect that a) Golden State's guards will be that inept defensively to allow Beno/Calathes to hurt them offensively and b) Calathes and Beno can back up their shooting from this series. Could be lots of periods without a PG in the game next series possibly, as Beno will get killed defensively if he's still hobbling, and Calathes couldn't throw an entry pass to the post as his defender was sagging that far off him (though he nailed way more 3's than he ever should)
CJ McCollum averaged 25pts over the last 3 games, he was taking Memphis' secondary wing defenders (after Allen) to the cleaners. Imagine Klay...
If Draymond can defend ZBo well enough, then he'll have Memphis scrambling on the other end (as they were with Meyers in the last two games)
First I thought Conley could mask up and be back in two days, but maybe that was a bit unrealistic. Saw him at the game today, his face is in a bad way, looks like he can hardly open one eye.
(Gentlemans) Sweep for the Warriors

Conley will play. Might not be game 1, but he will definitely play. Gives him a week or so for the swelling to go down

Thing about Allen is, he's a hell of a defender, but he can't deal with point guards on the pick and roll. Conley is a master of it

Jeff Green would have to average close to 20 ppg for them to advance?

You would think with the amount of free throws deandre takes that he would actually be better at it by now, I know he is an elite borderline all star in this league but I wouldn't be giving him max money after this season.
