Memphis lead the Western Conference Semifinals 1-0, getting the critical win in today's matchup against Houston thanks to a great game by Sigler. After the game, the Memphis star was surrounded by would-be interviewers, a not uncommon sight recently as he has moved into a leading role on his team. After taking a few questions, he met his long-time friend, Houston's Sims, who had played his heart out during the game only to come up short. "It's always tough when we play, he said. I always like to see him do well, and vice versa. But we can't both come out winners as long as we're on different teams." Rumors continue to circulate about the two friends trying to find their way onto the same team.
