the grizzlies front court is just too much of an advantage for it to be as close as some may think. obviously brooklyn's back court is nice, but tony allen and conley jr are studs on defense and insanely underrated by everyone.

LOL Wut? While I agree that Memphis has a very good starting 5, that is a terrible argument. Gerald Wallace is one of the best rebounders at the 3 position. Averaged around 8 the last 3 seasons. Wallace is a better rebounder than Gay (who is extremely overrated in my opinion, good player, but not great.) Not going to lie, ZBo is a great rebounder and player but Humphries was top 5 in the league last year. And for as good as a player as Marc Gasol is, he has never averaged double digit rebounds, only averaging 7 per game this year. So why Lopez is a bad rebounder, Marc Gasol is just an average one too.

Overall, their starting lineups are both very equal. I do love Memphis' balance throughout the starting lineup, but since I am biased, I'll take the Nets starting 5 over the Grizz, also think that D-Will is the best player.

G
With Gasol/Zach Brooklyn is not going to get any offensive boards.
Crash who I love isn't exactly going to stop Rudy Gay.
Lopez/Humphries/Crash aren't going to do anything to that front court unless they are perfect from away the paint.

Deron may be the best player but how exactly would that starting 5 defend Memphis squad enough for them to outscore them?

There is no bias here.

Your backcourt is the only good thing that would do damage against Memphis, their 3, 4 and 5 wouldn't even give you guys a chance at a rebound.

They have a much better and well rounded starting 5 than the nets, and they actually play D.

At the very least, I would expect the Nets to hold their own against them. Nets aren't the best defensive team, but coming from someone who's pretty much seen every Nets game thus far, they're slowly but surely improving on that front. Memphis would most likely win due to their experience and strogner commitment to playing defense, but the disparities between the two teams aren't THAT far apart like some people on here are making it seem imo.

By the way, I'm pretty sure netsgiantsyanks meant he'd take the Nets backcourt and Grizzlies frontcourt.

It would be very interesting to see the rebound battle between the two teams. Both Gasol and evidently Zach Randolph are great rebounders, but I'd love to see them work against guys like Reggie Evans, Kris Humphries, and Andray Blatche, who so far has proved he's a decent offensive rebounder.
