Grizzlies facing virtual must game vs Spurs
SAN ANTONIO ( 2 ) AT MEMPHIS ( 0 )
Zach Randolph and Memphis have been in this situation before and survived, but the competition is now far more difficult. They trailed the Los Angeles Clippers, 2-0, in the first round, before their power forward came home and got hot, triggering a four-game win streak.

Was Vogel’s best move a zone defense ?
INDIANA ( 0 ) AT MIAMI ( 1 )
While it is easy to second guess, Frank Vogel’s best option on the deciding play of the East finals opener may have been a zone defense. That would have enabled Roy Hibbert to stay in the game and protect against a LeBron James drive, while allowing someone else to cover Chris Bosh on the perimeter.

Is Parker too much for Memphis to offset ?
MEMPHIS ( 0 ) AT SAN ANTONIO ( 1 )
Prior to the start of the Western Conference finals, the Memphis supporters pointed to the Tony Parker vs Mike Conley matchup as a highly competitive one. According to Total Player Value data, as much as Conley has improved in these playoffs, it is probably asking too much of him to play near Parker’s level.
-
Smith rates as serious candidate for two awards
During last season’s free agent market, JR Smith was far from a hot commodity, signing a reported $ 2.8 million one-year deal with New York. As the regular season winds down, Total Player Value data indicates that he is a clearcut winner for Sixth Man of the Year Award, and a close second to Larry Sanders as the NBA’s Most Improved Player.

Wall starting to perform like an elite guard
Entering the second half of his third year, it appeared that 2010 No. 1 draft pick John Wall was a big disappointment. After a superb three months, Total Player Value data indicates that the Washington guard is playing like a major talent.
-
Kenyon Martin playing to prove GM’s wrong
Total Player Value rated Kenyon Martin as the best player in the LA Clippers’ opening round seventh game win vs Memphis last season, with a $ 21.5 million grade. As a free agent, he reportedly could not find more than a veteran’s minimum contract of $ 1.4 million prior to this season and did not sign. After the Knicks gave him a prorated minimum deal last month, he has played at an $ 8.0 million level in 15 games.

Did Jordan’s words move James to another level ?
As Miami goes for No. 28 in Chicago tonight, one subplot is hovering over the story. When the streak was at seven last month, Michael Jordan stated that Kobe Bryant’s career should be rated above Lebron James at present, and subsequent events may become history.

Miami story reminiscent of earlier Lakers’ saga
During the past few months, the Miami Heat have become the focus of the most intense spotlight that any sports team has experienced in recent memory. Nevertheless, there was a relatively similar situation in NBA history, in an era with fewer publicity outlets.
