Game 2: Memphis @ OKC

[Spur-Addict]

Nobody else made it.

[NewJerSpur]

Hard to watch for obvious reasons, but nevertheless.....

[Frenzy]

The preview sure made the grizz look like "the team to beat"

[NewJerSpur]

Sefalosha with the goods.....Boston could've used some of those boards by Perk.

[ElNono]

Perk talking shit early...

[Frenzy]

Okc fan : fuk...I want to sit already!

[NewJerSpur]

I like Ibaka on Randolph better than Perk even though he's kind of light in comparison, given his footwork, activity and length.

[Ginobilly]

bodies flying everywhere!

[NewJerSpur]

Wow.

[InRareForm]

Memphis energy is just fun to watch.

[NewJerSpur]

The Grizzlies' ball movement is scary good....think it improved when Gay went down.

[DesignatedT]

lol conley knocking down that 3 consistently against the Spurs.

[Ginobilly]

memphis reminds me of the Spurs offense, circa 99-03.

[NewJerSpur]

Perk walked AND threw the ball into traffic.

[InRareForm]

Low scoring affair

[Spur-Addict]

Randolph complaining to the refs

[Bill_Brasky]

Thunder already making a point to show the Grizzlies they're gonna have to work way harder for their points than in game 1.

[NewJerSpur]

So whose team does Westbrook think it is:

His or Durant's?

[NewJerSpur]

That's not good ball movement.

[Spur-Addict]

So whose team does Westbrook think it is:

His or Durant's?

I think, that he thinks, he's KD's equal

[InRareForm]

conley with a shot he made against spurs

[NewJerSpur]

I think, that he thinks, he's KD's equal

That's what I'm thinking.

[NewJerSpur]

Durant going off early.

[Spur-Addict]

Won't be seeing Perk for a while

[NewJerSpur]

Ibaka battling Randolph to the death, er, foul.....props.

[Bill_Brasky]

Ibaka doing the best job on Randolph out of anybody so far.

[NewJerSpur]

NO.J. Mayo sighting.

[Spur-Addict]

Nice pass by Harden

[LkrFan]

Thunda making their run with Porkins on the bench.

[Bill_Brasky]

Tonight we will see what Memphis is made of. They are gonna go down big on the road. We'll see if they respond with a great run like a contender, or if they fold and start blaming each other like a bunch of losers.

[NewJerSpur]

Mayo walked and then turned the ball over to boot....Thunder are active on defense, no more sleeping on the Grizz.

[Spur-Addict]

Good decision to get Harden involved by Westbrook

[LkrFan]

tonight we will see what memphis is made of. They are gonna go down big on the road. We'll see if they respond with a great run like a contender, or if they fold and start blaming each other like a bunch of spurs.

fify

[NewJerSpur]

Conley's still money....Thunder should learn from the Spurs and stop going under on him.

[InRareForm]

Grizz getting outplayed and down early. Like that one spurs game, we will see how they respond.

[Bill_Brasky]

spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession spurs obsession

[NewJerSpur]

Grizz aren't flashy or exciting (without Gay anyway), but they hang in games long enough and take your best punch.

[NewJerSpur]

Collison is a walking foul.

[LkrFan]

Battier is smart. Take Durant's light ass in the post. Results: 2 fouls for KD. Lakers should do that with no low post defender Dirk. Make the offensive force play defense.

[InRareForm]

now vasquez decides to play like vasquez... go figure

[NewJerSpur]

Vasquez coming back down to earth it appears.

[NewJerSpur]

Battier is smart. Take Durant's light ass in the post. Results: 2 fouls for KD. Lakers should do that with no low post defender Dirk. Make the offensive force play defense.

Tell that to Pau, his responsibility.

[Mavillionaire]

No way that arena is that loud, most of the fat Okies they show aren't even cheering. A little help from the arena jockey...

[LkrFan]

Tell that to Pau, his responsibility.

Tell me about it.

[NewJerSpur]

Grizz are being tested for real.....they're tunring the ball over like crazy and Harden is going off.

[benefactor]

OKC looking like the team I thought we'd see in game 1.

[InRareForm]

Wow harden

[Spur-Addict]

Wow, Harden

[LkrFan]

Grizz are being tested for real.....they're tunring the ball over like crazy and Harden is going off.

They playing like they were satisfied with taking one game from OKC on the road and it shows.

[benefactor]

Hardin blasting the whole Grizz team in the face right now.

[NewJerSpur]

Harden destroying the Grizz singlehandedly.....the "half" of the OKC "2 1/2 Men" is showing Tiger blood pumps through his veins.

[Bill_Brasky]

Like I said, we'll see how this Grizzlies team responds in this harsh environment.....gonna take a total team effort to beat OKC today, on both ends.

[InRareForm]

This series has early indications of going the distance.

[NewJerSpur]

Hollins not smiling anymore, lol.

[NewJerSpur]

Good decision by Mayo on the hesitation dish.

[NewJerSpur]

Randolph=automatic "and-1"

[Daddy_Of_All_Trolls]

THis could end up the most intersting 2nd round series of them all this year. I still have no clue who will win.

[NewJerSpur]

Cook was a good pickup.

[NewJerSpur]

Memphis has some active hands, even in transition.

[Spur-Addict]

Hollins not smiling anymore, lol.

Too smug for winning ONE series

[NewJerSpur]

Perk with a tech?

[Giuseppe]

Too smug for winning ONE series

You guys were an easy clean.

[NewJerSpur]

Too smug for winning ONE series

Yup. One of the worst parts of losing that series.

[InRareForm]

Foul count: memphis 3 OKC 11

[Bill_Brasky]

You guys were an easy clean.

You're right. We weren't playing basketball at a playoff level. Damn shame.

[NewJerSpur]

You guys were an easy clean.

C'mon Cubbs, this is a neutral contest. Let's keep it clean....besides, you've got a little hole to dig yourselves out of as is. Mavs aren't the Hornets.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice pass, Grizz hanging in off of turnovers and ball movement.

[InRareForm]

Perkins still looks a little more heavy

[NewJerSpur]

Looked like that was off of Perk.

[InRareForm]

Here comes the Grizz. grinding away at lead

[InRareForm]

Arthur!

[NewJerSpur]

Did I say the Grizz weren't exciting? WOW.

[Bill_Brasky]

Holy fucking hell the Grizzlies cause a lot of turnovers.

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, Durant's been out for a while.

[NewJerSpur]

Holy fucking hell the Grizzlies cause a lot of turnovers.

[NewJerSpur]

Down to 3.

[Mavillionaire]

OKC has about as much chance at beating the Grizz as the Spurs did.

[NewJerSpur]

Allen traveled and threw up some garbage.

[Bill_Brasky]

It must be so fucking demoralizing to block someone's shot multiple times and STILL give up the bucket.

[LkrFan]

LA Grizzlies are within 3. Keep it up.

[Purch]

Just like against the Spurs even when it looks like you can pull away the grizz don't die

[Bill_Brasky]

McDonald's commercials are so fucking gay lately.

-The gay shit with the guy and girl drinking their coffee and doing some sort of stupid ass dance/beat thing
-The "my sisters boyfriend said Sundays are for football, can you believe that??????" Dumb fucking bitch.
-The "oh snuggly wuggly chipmunk" retarded fag shit

I'm never eating at McDonald's again.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice strip by westbrook.

[NewJerSpur]

Inside Trax while the game is going on=loss

[NewJerSpur]

Conley coming of age.

[LkrFan]

Watching Z Bo physically abuse Ibaka is hilarious.

[NewJerSpur]

Watching Z Bo physically abuse Ibaka is hilarious.

He bowls into everyone, but Ibaka is best equipped to guard him.

[NewJerSpur]

Conley should've shot the floater.

[Bill_Brasky]

Conley should've shot the floater.

Yup, woulda been money.

[tlongII]

I can't believe OKC didn't called for the foul there! Gasol got butchered! :lol

[Spur-Addict]

You guys were an easy clean.

[LkrFan]

I can't believe OKC didn't called for the foul there! Gasol got butchered! :lol

No call. Then OKC goes down and scores with Gasol still on the floor. NBA action is FANtastic.

[Bill_Brasky]

Ibaka hurt?

[NewJerSpur]

http://myurc.org/whitepaper/illustrations/2-1.gif

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/603978/Picture_130.png

Looked like Dirk kicked Gasol in the nuts on the fade. :lol

[Spur-Addict]

Conley Flopping

[LkrFan]

He bowls into everyone, but Ibaka is best equipped to guard him.

Right on cue. Ibaka limping to the locker room. Advantage: Z Bo

[NewJerSpur]

They missed the travel there.

[Spur-Addict]

Looked like Dirk kicked Gasol in the nuts on the fade. :lol

It does :lol

Arthur with the travel

[NewJerSpur]

Too much dribbling by Conley.

[Spur-Addict]

They missed the travel there.

Nazr giving good effort

[resistanze]

Zach too quick to talk shit :lol

[NewJerSpur]

I doubt they allow all this physicality back in Memphis though.

[NewJerSpur]

Kenny Smith's ghostwriter should be fired and Chuck should be suspended if he tries to dance on air again.....just sayin'.

[DMC]

The refs swallowed their whistles for a while there. There were several fouls on that possession by Memphis when they got several offensive boards, but no calls. Then Durant gets hacked at the other end and no call. When Durant cannot get a call, you know something's wrong.

[Spur-Addict]

McHale with the Meatloaf quote

[NewJerSpur]

Hollins still not smiling, lol.

[NewJerSpur]

McHale with the Meatloaf quote

:lol

[NewJerSpur]

Tony Allen dribbling=adventure

[Spur-Addict]

Collison playing solid D on Zach

[NewJerSpur]

Sefolosha's not RJ, he's not going for those Sam Young headfakes.

[Spur-Addict]

Sorry Sam Young, Thabo isn't Richard Jefferson.

[Spur-Addict]

Sefolosha's not RJ, he's not going for those Sam Young headfakes.

:lol

Beat me to it

[NewJerSpur]

Perk heard Z-Bo's comments evidently, LOL.

[NewJerSpur]

:lol

Beat me to it

:toast

[Bill_Brasky]

Durant with his 3rd......not good for OKC.

[NewJerSpur]

Dumb pass by Marc.

[NewJerSpur]

Westbrook with the iso again....Durant's going to lay into him.

[NewJerSpur]

Feels like OKC should be leading by more.

[NewJerSpur]

Collison doing work on defense.

[Spur-Addict]

Collison making sure the Thunder don't miss a beat with the interior D

[resistanze]

This game is sloppy as shit! :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Collison making sure the Thunder don't miss a beat with the interior D

You called it earlier. I'm used to seeing Collison simply playing the enforcer role on defense and but he's active out there and disrupting Memphis' comfort level.

[NewJerSpur]

Scott Brooks: Always looks worried

Mo Cheeks: Always looks cool and collective......smooooooth

[NewJerSpur]

Wonder how OKC responds in Memphis when Z-Bo is knocking guys into the 1st row and going to the line as a result.

[Spur-Addict]

Scott Brooks: Always looks worried

Mo Cheeks: Always looks cool and collective......smooooooth

Cheeks looks like he should be a comic book villian.

[NewJerSpur]

Cheeks looks like he should be a comic book villian.

"Wait'll they get a load of me"

[Spur-Addict]

Conley couldn't hear Hollins

[NewJerSpur]

Memphis falling asleep, getting backdoor'd.

[Spur-Addict]

"Wait'll they get a load of me"

:lol

[InRareForm]

dallas like comeback for grizz coming?

[NewJerSpur]

Westbrook dribbling too much.

[NewJerSpur]

Good decision by Mayo, learning from the Sam Young headfake.

[NewJerSpur]

Needed to run some better offense there if you're the Grizz but they're still there......this is where Durant usually takes over so we'll see.

[NewJerSpur]

Mayo played better in the 3rd, now he's turning back into "NO.J./chucker" Mayo.

[Greg Oden]

Mayo played better in the 3rd, now he's turning back into "NO.J./chucker" Mayo.

have some.

[NewJerSpur]

Better ball movement.

[NewJerSpur]

have some.

I'll pass thank you.

[NewJerSpur]

Thunder rumbling.....no one's ever thought of THAT one-liner before, GUARANTEE IT!!

[Greg Oden]

I'll pass thank you.

well as long as you're enjoying your one man thread :chestbump

[Bill_Brasky]

Thunder can't miss. Now the Grizz know how we felt when they were sinking every jump shot they took.

[TD21-FTW]

Game over! I hope Memphis destroy OKC at home and advance (4-2) to the WCF.

[NewJerSpur]

well as long as you're enjoying your one man thread :chestbump

Padding the stats and coasting Original OG, YOU should have some. Kick your feet up. :toast

[Giuseppe]

Game over! I hope Memphis destroy OKC at home and advance (4-2) to the WCF.

Of course you do. That would lessen 8.

[NewJerSpur]

Thunder backdooring the Grizz to death....weak tech.

[Spur-Addict]

You just knew that was coming

[NewJerSpur]

of course you do. That would lessen 8.

4

[NewJerSpur]

Collison doing a job on Randolph.

[LnGrrrR]

Haven't watched most of this game, who's defending Z-Bo?

[NewJerSpur]

Now the game is getting out of hand, and Hollins shouldn't be smiling in the presser, lol.

[NewJerSpur]

Haven't watched most of this game, who's defending Z-Bo?

Ibaka early, then Collison took over. It's been a struggle for him tonight.

[Kyle Orton]

Hey everyone guess who I am based on the next few posts

[Kyle Orton]

great pass!

[Kyle Orton]

they gotta play better defense

[Kyle Orton]

gotta make your free throws!

[Kyle Orton]

the Thunder are playing much better today

[LnGrrrR]

Ibaka early, then Collison took over. It's been a struggle for him tonight.

Who do they have Perk on? Gasol?

[Kyle Orton]

harden came to play today

[NewJerSpur]

Marc looking like Pau tonight.

[Kyle Orton]

wow man gasol and randolph are shooting 3/17, thats bad!

[Greg Oden]

zbo misses the first ft

[Kyle Orton]

that free throw cuts the lead to 17

[Greg Oden]

zbo hits the back of the rim and it goes in on the second ft

[Budkin]

Memphis looking like the 8th seed finally.

[Greg Oden]

westbrook hits a 3!

[HarlemHeat37]

So, who are you, DOK?..

[NewJerSpur]

Who do they have Perk on? Gasol?

Yessir. My thing is though, I wonder if they allow this much contact on Z-Bo or Gasol in Memphis. Spurs got hit with some questionable calls to say the least. Maynard going off out this mofo.

[Kyle Orton]

Maynor just made a 3, hes on fire tonight!

[Spur-Addict]

Grizz getting smacked now.

[NewJerSpur]

Nate Rob sighting in full warmup gear.

[Greg Oden]

So, who are you, DOK?..

Z_ycuwKGOVw

[Kyle Orton]

So, who are you, DOK?..

I'll give you a hint, he has more than 5 posts in this game thread

[Spur-Addict]

Now the game is getting out of hand, and Hollins shouldn't be smiling in the presser, lol.

Any attempt to play this off will be blatant BSing.

[Kyle Orton]

Thunder fans clapping, they know its over

[siraulo23]

eric who?

[davethedope]

Zbo has been talking shit for two days straight and didn't even show up.

[Kyle Orton]

Scott Brooks has a nice suit on today

[NewJerSpur]

If OKC is allowed to play physical on MEM's bigs, who steps up? Conley? Young? Mayo?

[Kyle Orton]

fans dont like that call on perkins

[TDfan2007]

Zbo has been talking shit for two days straight and didn't even show up.

He tried, but the Thunder have too much length and athleticism for him. If that faceup jumper isn't falling in this series he's in trouble.

[Greg Oden]

Ibaka shows some range.

[Greg Oden]

Conley from range!

[TDfan2007]

OKC not missing whatsoever.

[Kyle Orton]

Man those are some big bodies that got tangled up down low

[TDfan2007]

The painted area is for men only in this series. No pussies allowed. It's been very physical.

[Kyle Orton]

Do you have a guess Harlem?

[NewJerSpur]

Trying to get in a post to say I spoke too soon but keep getting booted off. :rollin

[NewJerSpur]

Westbrook with the blownout tire.....lay it up son.

[Spur-Addict]

Sprite!!

[crc21209]

Good to see Memphis getting their ass spanked for a change....:tu :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

Do you have a guess Harlem?

Keep going, I'll figure it out with a few more posts IMO..

[NewJerSpur]

Safe to say the smile will still be on Hollin's face in the presser if he's joking on the sidelines. Well, he did get the split.

[Greg Oden]

Good to see Memphis getting their ass spanked for a change....:tu :lol

fuck yourself and die.

[crc21209]

fuck yourself and die.

:lol How old are you?

[NewJerSpur]

Good call. Wonder if Ibaka hurt the knee again?

[NewJerSpur]

Collison doing work on both ends around the rim.

[Greg Oden]

:lol How old are you?

old enough to know that you should fuck yourself and die.

[crc21209]

old enough to know that you should fuck yourself and die.

:lol Whatever you say. Grow up internet "gangsta."

[NewJerSpur]

Nice double on Durant.

[NewJerSpur]

Maynor keeping Nate in the warmups.....did Nate ever recover from the leg injury to end the season?

[ace3g]

why foul there Grizz?

[Kyle Orton]

:lmao:lmao:lmao this thread

[Greg Oden]

Whatever you say.

thanks. you'll be doing everyone a favor.

[NewJerSpur]

Grizz have had balance scoring up to this point but you just wonder if they have another person tha can take over if the post isn't there, which from the looks of it, might be the case at times if the 2 teams are allowed to play. OKC has 2 primary scorers and 2 guys off the bench who can give them a lift if necessary.....Memphis?

[crc21209]

thanks. you'll be doing everyone a favor.

:sleep

[NewJerSpur]

Nazr getting burn before Nate tells me he still isn't 100%.....I guess.

[NewJerSpur]

If the game was closer, they let that call go imo.

[NewJerSpur]

Memphis earned the split but got bullied in the process the 2nd game. Be interesting to see how and if they have the resolve to shake a beatdown off that they've set to see in these playoffs.

[siraulo23]

Durant: "I wanna thank the good lord..."
every post game interview

[Giuseppe]

Durant: "I wanna thank the good lord..."
every post game interview

Can you imagine God giving two shits?

[NewJerSpur]

Hollins not smiling as much in his presser=win

Been waiting for that for a couple of weeks now....impressed OKC was able to make it happen in runaway fashion (that rhymes).

[Capt Bringdown]

Memphis can still play inside-out and play defense, so I think they've got this. OKC, like Spurs, depend too much on jumpers. And if Ibaka's hurt, fuggetaboutit.

[DJ Mbenga]

those bigs went 5-22. just about impossible for memphis to win under those circumstances

[Jacob1983]

Good thing for Memphis is they're going back home with a split and the next two games are on their homecourt.
