I love how all four starting big men in this series are MVPs.

If I were the Grizzlies, I would be worried about:

- Duncan (presumably) guarding Shaq. In real life, he rarely did, to avoid foul trouble. Here he'll be deep in it.
- Rose as their only perimeter playmaker. If he gets smothered by the lanky, athletic Heat perimeter (as he did in the playoffs vs. Miami in 2011), who creates easy shots for the bigs?
- Nique and Reggie, neither great defenders, having to guard Durant and Wade. Nowhere to hide them.

I think the Heat frontcourt, led by Shaq and Cowens, is physical enough to get the better of the Grizzlies' talented frontcourt, especially since their lives are made easier by the advantage in playmaking that the Heat have from the backcourt. Just my thoughts though. This is a fun matchup.

This is a good one. Both teams have rosters that I could see working really Well together.
