The Grizzlies had looked certain to enter the Playoffs as the No. 2 seeds in the Western Conference, however, they have suffered a bad slide in the final weeks of the regular season that has seen them slip to the fifth spot. There is now much uncertainty over how well Memphis will do in the Playoffs, as their confidence is seemingly shot.
Center Marc Gasol though is looking to remain positive. He has said, “I’m happy how the team is and even though we’ve had a lot of ups and downs and adversity and things that didn’t go our way, it’s time to put all the negative stuff aside. Try to be positive and get ready for a really tough playoff series.”
There are four games taking place on Sunday in the NBA as the 2015 Playoffs get underway. The Boston Celtics go on the road to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
That game will mark the first time LeBron James will have worn a Cleveland shirt in the Playoffs since 2010. He will be hoping to lead the Cavaliers to a dream NBA Championship, however, to do so he and his team will have to navigate their way past the Boston Celtics first.
It is interesting to note that James’ first stint with the Cavaliers ended with defeat against the Celtics. In 2010 the Celtics came out on top in six games, and that memory has remained with James, and no doubt he will use it as motivation for today’s game.
The Brooklyn Nets will also be on the road against the Atlanta Hawks at the Philips Arena in Georgia.
Also the San Antonio Spurs will travel to the Staples Center in California to take on the Los Angeles Clippers in what should be a very intriguing match up.
