The Grizz at the Thunder Game 5:

[DMC]

OT again? If the Thunder get this one, I think it could be over, but the Grizz are not laying down like the Lakers did.

[mavsfan1000]

Getting pumped up for this game. Hope it is as close as the last 2 games. :)

Grizz need this game IMO. Gotta stay away from game 7 in OKC.

[ElNono]

Whoever lands this game wins the series, IMO

Thunder have this one imo.

[4>0rings]

Dick Stockton, we all know you're 800 years old, you don't have jet black/brown hair without a single gray hair... you tired old shit bag.

[DMC]

This series is going to be an all time classic.

Game thread ?

[lefty]

Please please no OT

Some of us live on the East coast and have to work tomorrow

[NewJerSpur]

:lmao

[NewJerSpur]

Sefalosha with the putback goods.

[Spur-Addict]

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaboooooooooo

[NewJerSpur]

Did Young dribble that out of bounds?

[DPG21920]

Thabo can be such an awesome defender at times.

[hitmanyr2k]

Zach's worst nightmare in the game.

[Spur-Addict]

Officiating has all of a sudden has become soft

[024]

OKC fans will have to stand forever

[Tinystarz]

is 3 overtimes the longest?

[NewJerSpur]

Terrible call....Collison getting the call on his physical rep.

[TE]

lol Allen having a jumper.


Never in his career could he shoot consistently.

Props for his improvement.

[Spur-Addict]

Thunder getting jobbed early

[NewJerSpur]

Officiating picking back up where it left off from Game 4 it looks.

[NewJerSpur]

Thunder getting jobbed early

Beat me to it, lol.

[dbestpro]

These officials are in over their heads. I mean this is the playoffs so there should not be a call unless it is obvious.

[Spurologist]

No home cooking today.

:rollin

[NewJerSpur]

Good job of getting back by Collison.

[024]

these games are so ugly.

[TE]

Allen scores again, now that he has a respectable jumper, dude can get to the rim with that first step.

[hitmanyr2k]

The Grizz don't appear to have a hangover from that tough loss. I figured they'd bounce back.

[NewJerSpur]

Have some Gasol.

[Shane27]

this is a low-scoring game so far

[hitmanyr2k]

Cmon man. You can't call a foul on ZBo because Collison tripped over his own feet.

[NewJerSpur]

Randolph has his hands at your throat but doesn't think he commits a foul....Perk looking like hot garbage, nice pass by Allen.

[NewJerSpur]

The Grizz don't appear to have a hangover from that tough loss. I figured they'd bounce back.

They actually don't, credit to them and Hollins for having them ready.

[hitmanyr2k]

Harden has been saving OKC all series.

[Spur-Addict]

Beat me to it, lol.

Either you do it, or I do :lol

[Isitjustme?]

james harden looks like richie haven's love child

[NewJerSpur]

Grizz missing a ton of open looks early, good sign for OKC.

[Spur-Addict]

LOL@Nazr

[NewJerSpur]

Nazr should not be dribbling from the 3-point line to the basket, nice trap on Harden.

[Spur-Addict]

Good foul by Maynor

[hitmanyr2k]

OKC looks tight....except Harden.

[NewJerSpur]

Harden baby.

[Spur-Addict]

HArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrden

[Spurologist]

If only we had Collison :pctoss

[DMC]

Game thread ?
Edited. Thanks!

[NewJerSpur]

Randolph lagging in his rotation.

[hitmanyr2k]

If Mayo hadn't fouled out in Game 4 from horrible personnel management by Hollins this would probably be a close-out game for the Griz.

[NewJerSpur]

If Mayo hadn't fouled out in Game 4 from horrible personnel management by Hollins this would probably be a close-out game for the Griz.

And if the refs would've made the right call when dude jumped out of bounds and touched the ball......:p:

[hitmanyr2k]

Vasquez....Ginobili Jr. Grizz offense looks horrible but their defense and hustle are excellent.

[024]

this series seems to be a classic talent vs. defense. i will have to predict that defense wins out.

[hitmanyr2k]

And if the refs would've made the right call when dude jumped out of bounds and touched the ball......:p:

I still don't disagree with the call lol.

[4>0rings]

Damn it Stockton, it's VAH-SQUEZ not VAE-SQUEZ

[NewJerSpur]

Chuck it OJ.

[Spur-Addict]

Nick Collison, The Grizz Killer

[NewJerSpur]

Damn it Stockton, it's VAH-SQUEZ not VAE-SQUEZ

Got to forgive Dick....actually you don't but you got to exppect it, lol.

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!!

[Capt Bringdown]

Nazr not being fair to his teammates, he needs to get over himself.

[NewJerSpur]

How was that not a foul on Vasquez? Ah well, Cook going off.

[hitmanyr2k]

Nate Robinson...the ultimate cheerleader. Boston could have used his youth tonight :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Durant got smacked.

[NewJerSpur]

Damn that was a weak call......Westbrook was coming down and Arthur started falling back before either hit the floor.

[NewJerSpur]

Ibaka falling asleep in the Gasol dunk.

[NewJerSpur]

Yeah baby.

[Spur-Addict]

Take that Timeout bro. LOL

[hitmanyr2k]

Alright ZBo...enough fuckin around. Get your head back in the game.

[hitmanyr2k]

Damn...Westbrook coming up with air from 3 feet away?

[NewJerSpur]

Westbrook with the ballstopping again.

[hitmanyr2k]

That charge was weak as fuck. Allen was pulling up and barely hit the guy.

[NewJerSpur]

Yeah baby. Thunder on a roll.....never heard that before, have you, LOL.

[NewJerSpur]

Perk still not believing he ever committed a foul in his life.

[Spur-Addict]

That charge was weak as fuck. Allen was pulling up and barely hit the guy.

Have to call it the same on both ends

[hitmanyr2k]

Westbrook keeps coming up with air 5 feet away from the rim :lol

Perkins was instigating contact the whole way. What an idiot. And he knew he was in foul trouble too.

[NewJerSpur]

Harden outhustling 4 Grizzlies for the ball.

[hitmanyr2k]

Harden has been the unsung hero for Game 4 and so far in Game 5. He just makes good things happen. I hope the refs call some of his travels tonight though lol.

[TE]

What a terrible call on Young.

[hitmanyr2k]

Ball don't lie. There was barely any contact on that foul :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Tony Allen could've probably only fouled Durant even in attempting a shotblock anyway.

[Killakobe81]

great series but boring game seems that 3 OT sucked something out of this game ...

[NewJerSpur]

Harden has been the unsung hero for Game 4 and so far in Game 5. He just makes good things happen. I hope the refs call some of his travels tonight though lol.

:lol

The LeShuffle is sweeping the nation my friend. :toast

[Spur-Addict]

Bron did make some big plays tonight.

[Killakobe81]

:lol

The LeShuffle is sweeping the nation my friend. :toast

LOL he has really improved it might be crazy but right now I would take him over Curry, Evans and Jennings (same draft class, IIRC)

As a two-way player, he is the best of this group ...

[NewJerSpur]

Bron did make some big plays tonight.

He made some terrible plays early and was 1-7 to start despite the attention Wade was getting freeing him up, BUT he did hit the shots he needed to hit to put the team he's now on a win.

[Spur-Addict]

He made some terrible plays early and was 1-7 to start despite the attention Wade was getting freeing him up, BUT he did hit the shots he needed to hit to put the team he's now on a win.

Definetly. He and Bosh got off to a slow start. But he did finish shooting over 50%. Plus, he hit clutch shots. Five 3's at 5-7 shooting is pretty good for him. Not a Bron nut hugger, but I give props where it's due.

I concede SA.......for now :lol. Dude made the shots he had to make to negate much of his game prior to the 4th, but bottom line is he made the uncontested shots Boston couldn't knock down to put it away. Have to give the devil his due for tonight.

[NewJerSpur]

Game on.

[hitmanyr2k]

Tony Allen makes good moves but he's one of the worst finishers ever.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice block by Gasol, thought that was a dunk for sure.

[Spur-Addict]

LOL@ Perkins post up game. It's trash. All he has is a head fake, and a shitty hook that rattles around.

[NewJerSpur]

Gasol has little mobility but he never gives up on a play.

[hitmanyr2k]

Grizz need someone to take leadership and huddle these guys up. They're looking lifeless.

[hitmanyr2k]

Who gives a fuck if you foul Perkins? He'll miss both anyway.

[NewJerSpur]

Perk could've got hit with the offensive foul for the clearout with the elbow, but they never call it on him.

[Spur-Addict]

Why would you foul Perk? He'll probably miss anyways

[NewJerSpur]

Westbrooooooooook!!!!

[Spur-Addict]

Who gives a fuck if you foul Perkins? He'll miss both anyway.


Why would you foul Perk? He'll probably miss anyways

:lol

[hitmanyr2k]

Great dunk but you can always tell Westbrook is very impressed with himself :lol

[dirk4mvp]

If only the Grizz had another player to come in and give them a scoring punch.

[NewJerSpur]

The bank is closed Mr. Randolph.

[Spur-Addict]

Nice finish by Conley with the contact

[DPG21920]

Westbrook misses more dunks than anyone I have ever seen.

[Spur-Addict]

Nice cut by Westbrook

[NewJerSpur]

What a pass by KD, threading the needle like Peyton Manning out this mofo.

[hitmanyr2k]

The Grizz are never out of a game. They'll make a run.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice setup by Conley on that hook.

[Spur-Addict]

LOL@ Perks post up game

[Capt Bringdown]

Conley crashing back down to earth these last 2 games.

[NewJerSpur]

Bad call.

[hitmanyr2k]

LOL@ Perks post up game

It's a lose-lose situation. He's not very good down there and if he gets fouled he'll brick the free throws. I'm not sure why OKC runs plays for him.

And Randolph just got fucked with that foul. Why not just let that go?

[Spurologist]

Iblocka in great company there.....

top 4 favorite player in the league right now

[Isitjustme?]

Olajuwon was such a beast.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice look by Westbrook, but KD got away with a push to get free for that alleyoop, lol.

[hitmanyr2k]

Grizz defense looks horrible in the 2nd half. It's like they're sleeping out there. Even Perkins scores.

[NewJerSpur]

Yeah baby.

[Spurologist]

Boston miss Perkins much

:lmao

[DPG21920]

Why you would flop on Perkins is beyond me.

Earth, meet the Grizzles.

[hitmanyr2k]

No matter who wins tonight this series is going 7.

[Spur-Addict]

It's a lose-lose situation. He's not very good down there and if he gets fouled he'll brick the free throws. I'm not sure why OKC runs plays for him.

And Randolph just got fucked with that foul. Why not just let that go?


I don't know why either. Brooks is a little too free with the touch distribution.

Quite a bit of bad officiating this game. They're spreading the love all around. And i'm sure it'll continue into the fourth quarter.

Perk only scored in the post because of the flop. That doesn't count Perk.

[Capt Bringdown]

So much for Memphis getting stops on demand. Maybe game 4 cracked their confidence.

[NewJerSpur]

Great defense by OKC.

[NewJerSpur]

The return of NO.J. chucking Mayo baby.

[DPG21920]

Or maybe they are remembering they are last in the NBA in 3's and they aren't falling and they remembered they are upper middle of the pack defensively.

[NewJerSpur]

And-1.

[Spurologist]

Fratello: "that look tells me you better ante up when that basket comes around in church"

:lmao

[Spur-Addict]

Just getting out worked on the glass. Are they giving in a little? Collison the Grizz killer

[picc84]

:lmao picture of Perk as an altar boy. "give money to the church...or i'll rob you for it"

[Frenzy]

Nate, you could easily confuse him for a cheerleader.

[NewJerSpur]

Just getting out worked on the glass. Are they giving in a little? Collison the Grizz killer

Would be cool to see a gif of that :lol.

[hitmanyr2k]

Everytime I see a Nate Robinson celebration I think of this and :lol :lol :lol

Dude did look kind of angry for that moment, lol.

[Spur-Addict]

Would be cool to see a gif of that :lol.

:lol yeah it would

[NewJerSpur]

Weak tech.

[LakerHater]

A T.... Wtf!!!?

Kome & Garnett do fuckin worse!!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Ball don't lie.

[Spurologist]

Again

No home cooking for you.

NO SOUP FOR YOU!

[Frenzy]

Lol what a blind ref

[Spur-Addict]

Like I said, poor officiating continuing LOL

[hitmanyr2k]

Damn...that was going in too.

[DMC]

Somewhere in this series Nate has to take an ill advised shot that costs them the lead.

[Spur-Addict]

Grizz Killer

[NewJerSpur]

Good call. Grizz finally get a layup to go, albeit a tough one and it gets waved off.....that kind of night. Game 4 effect starting to kick in on them imo.

[DMC]

I like Perk's tenacity, but when he gets the ball he acts like he doesn't know what he's holding.

[hitmanyr2k]

Zbo = Eddie tonight...no doubt.

[Spur-Addict]

The Grizz killer is in Randolphs head

[NewJerSpur]

Grizz look flat as a mofo and the Thunder look like they're ready to close this series out.

[resistanze]

lol @ Z-Bo smacking his lips WAY too early in this series.

[hitmanyr2k]

Grizz look flat as a mofo and the Thunder look like they're ready to close this series out.

It's going 7. The Grizz have one more run in them tonight but they've spotted OKC too big of a lead. They'll have more energy at home.

[NewJerSpur]

The Grizz killer is in Randolphs head

Collison doing a serious job on Z-Bo and STILL helping his teammates on defense and battling on the boards. I used to hate him in the Seattle days and thought he was just dirty, but this series is turning me around on him.

[picc84]

Memph will blow them out on friday, then OKC wins a tight game 7.

[NewJerSpur]

It's going 7. The Grizz have one more run in them tonight but they've spotted OKC too big of a lead. They'll have more energy at home.

They may indeed have another run, but I'm not sure about this series going 7, especially after that devastating loss at home in Game 4. MEM's crowd will be amped and that should help them get the energy up and make them play sharper in Game 6, but OKC knows what's at stake now and they know they have the Grizz's number IN Memphis.

[Capt Bringdown]

Nazr having a better series against the Grizz than Dice? Certainly as good IMO.

[hitmanyr2k]

Goddamn. The Grizz have put on a clinic on how to miss layups in this game.

[ElNono]

I guess the Memphis mirage lost it's steam...

[NewJerSpur]

Cooooooooooooooooook!!!!

[Spur-Addict]

Lionel Hollins facial expression!! :lmao

[NewJerSpur]

Damn Haddadi travelled.

[DPG21920]

:lmao a team that plays Hadaddi winning. They killed the Spurs but they aren't that talented. Credit to them for really playing their game and playing well, but it's over.

[LakerHater]

Nazr, DAMN......FUckin Pop!

[Capt Bringdown]

Nazr >>> Dice

[NewJerSpur]

Lionel Hollins facial expression!! :lmao

:rollin

Not smiling now=win

[Spurologist]

NAZR!!!!!!!!!

San Antonio Alum...representin :lol

Ladies and gentlemen, the Memphis Grizzlies have come back down to Earth, and they fell hard too! :lol :tu

[Spur-Addict]

"Scratchin and clawing" :lmao

Fuck the Grizzs:downspin:

That's what Grizzlies do :lol

Yup!

[Spur-Addict]

Nazr....another player Popovich fucked up on.

:depressed

[crc21209]

This series should've been over tonight, if only OKC hadnt choked that 16 point lead at Memphis in Game 3....

[crc21209]

Nazr....another player Popovich fucked up on.

In Pops opinion, Nazr fucked himself by taking that 3 point shot with seconds left in the game in the 2006 1st round Game 1 against Sacramento....:lol

[NewJerSpur]

Extra rest for Durant and Westbrook for the closeout Game Friday=win

[hitmanyr2k]

Tony Allen has blown like 5 layups tonight.

[crc21209]

Pour it on those fuckers pour it on! :tu

[LakerHater]

Boring ass game!

[Spur-Addict]

Seeing Hollins face when the lead got crazy is all I wanted to see tonight

[NewJerSpur]

Hollins is going to run Gasol and Z-Bo into the ground. Got to take them out soon at some point given the way this game is going.

[NewJerSpur]

Not tonight OJ, maybe in Memphis.

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!!

[DJ Mbenga]

tired legs. thats basically it. nothing really okc as done.

[Frenzy]

Z-bo looks mad.

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Lionel Hollins giving his team the silent treatment

[crc21209]

It would be so awesome if Memphis gets closed out at home! :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Go get'em nate!!

[crc21209]

Oh shit Little Nate coming in and quickly making an impact with a nice hard foul! :tu :lol

[spyder]

Pour it on those fuckers pour it on! :tu

:toast

[crc21209]

Nate with a 3! :lol

[rayjayjohnson]

lol Nate Robinson is useless

[NewJerSpur]

Go get'em nate!!

[hitmanyr2k]

OKC is just making Memphis more angry. I expect a good beatdown of the Thunder in Game 6.

[Frenzy]

Nate: I'm an eagle you gotta let me fly!!

[DJ Mbenga]

its like the world didnt want memphis to win. they are missing every 50 50 ball, bricking layups, fts open shots, handing turnovers.

[Trainwreck2100]

Great fuckin game

[NewJerSpur]

Ibaka and Collison doing work around the rim on the defensive end.....can't say as much for Perk.

[Capt Bringdown]

Ibaka and Collison doing work around the rim on the defensive end.....can't say as much for Perk.

Perk is claiming injury.

[Crookshanks]

Ladies and gentlemen, the Memphis Grizzlies have come back down to Earth, and they fell hard too! :lol :tu

I've been waiting and waiting for them to crash! I guess they forgot to sacrifice a virgin after game 4.

[NewJerSpur]

Time for the Thunder to take their show on the road....at least they know they can dig a major (18-point) hole on the road and still make it a game. Props to both teams for hitting the floor tonight after the marathon.

[NewJerSpur]

you mean okc right? the grizz left their legs in memphis

[NewJerSpur]

you mean okc right? the grizz left their legs in memphis

Yes, OKC knows they can dig themselves an 18-point deficit and dig their way out. Is it smart, no, but any lead is surmountable for them in Memphis.

[4>0rings]

Back to their 8th seed self when their luck ass shots don't go in.

[TampaDude]

OKC sending a message tonight...Grizz are toast.

[mavsfan1000]

Thunder have this one imo.
Like I was saying. :toast

[Amuseddaysleeper]

It's about time Memphis played like absolute shit in these playoffs.


Still want them to win this series, though.

[Giuseppe]

It's about time Memphis played like absolute shit in these playoffs.

He's referring to 8.

[symple19]

WTF is the deal with Durant's backpack?

[icem]

OKC is just making Memphis more angry. I expect a good beatdown of the Thunder in Game 6.

ehh, i dont think so..... thunder play well on grizz home floor. i cant see grizz blowing them out under any circumstances because for one thing, they dont shoot it well from outside. even if they are beasting inside, if they cant consistently knock down outside shots it will be at least a close game. also, this series would be over if the thunder didnt GIVE AWAY game 3. with westbrook and durant getting plenty of rest tonight, i say they go in there and take game 6.
