The Grizz are so arrogant… getting bounced in the first round should humble them, but they don’t seem like the smartest bunch of characters….

Didn’t I tell you that DLo and AD would dominate either game 5 or 6 and close the series?. Plus carry over to the Kings in round 2.
And trust me when I say… HAM is that DOOOOOOD!!
