Top 5 Lakers Playoff Subplots

Memphis Grizzlies

If the playoffs were to start today the Grizzlies would play the top seeded Spurs, Mark Gasol would have to contend with Tim Duncan and Pau Gasol would no doubt be rooting for his brother’s team to upset San Antonio. Unless you’re new to the playoffs or have simply not bothered to care, you know that the last 3-4 spots in the Western conference are seemingly always up for grabs. Should the Grizzlies fall in the number seven spot, they’ll have to more than likely face the Lakers in the first round.

It’s already interesting to see the Gasol brother’s battle in the post during the regular season, now imagine that matchup in the playoffs when the intensity rises a few notches and it could make for a potentially dramatic set of games. Couple that with the fact that Memphis has not one, but two decent Kobe Bryant defenders in Shane Battier and Tony Allen–now you’ve got a series.

Next: Kendrick Perkins finds himself out west in OKC, but does it spell doom for the Lakers?
