Grizz are not gay anymore vs. westbroken monkey ball

[Brazil]

Should be a fun game. Super defensive Grizz to score 60 pts trying to limit acne Durant and co < 60 pts. Good luck with that.

[Brunodf]

Grizzlies are better without Gay.

[Brazil]

Grizzlies are better without Gay.

We will see but they are going to miss his scoring

[Brunodf]

We will see but they are going to miss his scoring

Yeah they will miss his 17 points on 17 shots/game.:rolleyes

[Reck]

Another game where Durant melts down would be fun to watch indeed.

:lol

[Brazil]

Perkins is a real dumbass tbh :lol

[irishock]

lmao Perk

[Brunodf]

Perkins is trolling

[racm]

Perkins never went to college, tbh

He's scared since he has to make sure Randolph doesn't post 38/20 :lol

[racm]

Abaka doing work early

[Captivus]

MEM looks lost

[racm]

OKC 6/6 early

[Captivus]

can we get the 15 seconds refresh here? not enough people in this thread for that?

[AussieFanKurt]

great start by the defence grizzlies

[Clipper Nation]

Rodney Mott, Eric Dalen, and Mike Callahan gonna step up big for OKC tonight, tbh...

[Brazil]

If westbroken has a good game Grizz are dead

[Brunodf]

Thunderefs:lol

[racm]

Memphis with 0 defensive rebounds :rollin

[Brazil]

How Grizz managed to have 6 more fga so far?

[Captivus]

Perkins is crazy

[racm]

How Grizz managed to have 6 more fga so far?

Offensive rebounds

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao Memphis

[thunderup]

:lmao Memphis
:lol You

:lol Silence from all the Russ haters in this forum

[Richie]

Memphis with 0 defensive rebounds :rollin

0/2 isn't good but it isn't terrible. Can't rebound a made basket.

[Brazil]

11 pts lead and Durant didn't even start to play

[Richie]

:lol You

:lol Silence from all the Russ haters in this forum

He'll probably shoot <40% the rest of the half and let the Grizz back in to it.

[Brazil]

Gay was also important for Grizz spacing

[Brazil]

:lol You

:lol Silence from all the Russ haters in this forum

:lol westbroken can have some good shooting game once in a while tbh

[ace3g]

Gasol faked himself out there as well, lol

[Richie]

Horrible foul by Wroten.

[Richie]

Shooting 80% and only up 10. Grizz can take something from that. Thunder have made a lot of contested jump shots.

[JingleJangleJingle]

shades of the WCF...Thunder can't miss...

[racm]

Still, to see a good rebounding team not rebound their opponent's misses... man, the Spurs are great at defensive rebounding tbh

[Brazil]

Horrible foul by Wroten.Who?

[ElNono]

Does Kevin Martin scores on anything but freebies? Dude is the ultimate flopper

[ElNono]

KMart should've gone for the flop instead of the layup...

[Captivus]

Im having Spurs flashbacks...

[ElNono]

Grizz need to post up ZBo every possession while hes guarded by white boy... this Bayless is the new Gay thing isn't working for them

[thunderup]

Im having Spurs flashbacks...
:lmao

[Richie]

The Grizz look absolutely horrible on offence.

[Reck]

LOL this team sucks even more without Gay.

[Dex]

LOL this team sucks even more without Gay.

Shouldn't really be a surprise.

TBH, Memphis was finally learning how to play with Gay, ZBo, and Gasol in the lineup. Good move money wise, but now are really challenged for offensive weapons, and they are counting on Randolph and Marc to repeat their performance from 2011. Frankly, I don't know if they have that in them.

On the plus side, if this is any indication, Spurs have the Southwest division locked up.

[ElNono]

You can't make any judgements on the Grizz over this game... the new guys are not even playing...

[Brazil]

:lol better without gay

[Dex]

lol Ibaka for 3. Get that shit out of here.

[Brazil]

You can't make any judgements on the Grizz over this game... the new guys are not even playing...

Thats a game thread no reasonable opinions are allowed. Thank you.

[ElNono]

The idea this team can be better without Gay shouldn't be dismissed outright... after all, it was this same team without Gay that made it's deepest run in the playoffs, and you can easily pin the series loss to the Clippers last season on Gay's boneheaded plays...

[Captivus]

Maybe the MEM players are angry because of that trade...letting the FO know

[ElNono]

It's just going to be difficult for Memphis to get all new guys on the same page this season...

[racm]

My only worry is if they tank to be 7th/8th since the Spurs are a lock for a top 3 seed (and they have a pretty cushy schedule post RRT).

they played out of their minds to make that run...they aren't capable of making that run again.

[ElNono]

there's also the fact that Memphis can't get away with all the mugging they normally do in Oklahoma... you can't touch KD, Westbrook or KMart

[Cry Havoc]

Memphis is nowhere near elite anymore tbh. It's down to the good LA team, the Thunder, and the Spurs for the West this year. Memphis = done. They're a 5 game and out team right now.

[Cry Havoc]

Hell I'd take GSW over them in 5 or 6.

[ElNono]

they played out of their minds to make that run...they aren't capable of making that run again.

They had a good game plan and it worked for them... the playoffs are a different beast

[ElNono]

I'll never buy that the winner of a 7 game series was a 'fluke'... no way

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao Memphis :lmao :rollin :lmao

You really weren't kidding....

[racm]

You know who helped their playoff run? Shane Battier, tbh.


Hell I'd take GSW over them in 5 or 6.

A healthy Golden State should be able to handle them... Memphis is also mediocre at 3 point defense, so Curry and Thompson should burn them from beyond the arc.

[Richie]

Horrible offence from Memphis. Actually don't think their D has been that bad, Thunder just been hitting tough shots.

Cant win scoring 34 in a half though.

[Clipper Nation]

So will Charles Barkley detach his mouth from Memphis' dick now? :lol

[racm]

Damn son, seems only Jerryd Bayless showed up on the offensive end so far. ZBo is what, 0-9?

[Dex]

That's what I'm talking about. Randolph has been a shell of his former self ever since he came back from that injury.

If Randolph comes in and drains those mid-range jumpers (and threes) like he did against the Spurs two years ago, they can fucking have it.

[Dex]

Wow. Grizzlies +15 shots, down 24 points. :wow

[Reck]

LOL Chuck living and dying by his Memphis are for real pick. :lol

[Brazil]

You really weren't kidding....

They are going to struggle offensively big time, it was already an issue before the trade it's getting worst since then. Their spacing is gonna suck. Like nono said they need time to welcome the newcomers but saying they are better off gay is wrong.

seriously though after scoring 34 pts in the first I fully expect they overachieve and score between 70 and 75.

[Clipper Nation]

LOL Chuck living and dying by his Memphis are for real pick. :lol

He's STILL fucking blowing this overrated team? :lol

If I have to hear one more time from Shitty Takes Barkley that Memphis is "still better than the Clippers," I might lose my mind....

[Reck]

He just said the only legit teams on the west are Oklahoma, Spurs and Memphis and that he doesn't "know" about the rest. :lol

[ElNono]

tbh, in hindsight, what killed that Memphis team from 8 was Battier's departure.

Anyways, lol Hollinger

[racm]

Chuck has a thing for Memphis because ZBo is a fat rebounder like him, tbh.

[D-Wade]

It's not just that the Grizz lost Gay. They were actually better with him last time when he was out with an injury. It's that their ballers can't ball anymore. Z-Bo hasn't been the same since injury. Surprise poor man's Z-Bo in Arthur also hasn't been the same since injury. Arthur pre-injury was actually pretty damn solid. And the rest of their bench -- Battier, Vasquez, Speights -- are gone. Now when Conley goes out, Bayless (lol) runs the offense.

They're definitely not scary anymore.

Yeah, I forgot they had Vasquez too, who's now beasting in NOLA.

[racm]

Vasquez - playing great as a Pelican
Battier - just rang with Miami
Speights - playing well in Cleveland

:lmao Memphis

[lefty]

Lol chimpbrook called for 5 seconds

[racm]

lol Durant

[Reck]

Chimpbrook had to go to the locker room because he was crying. lmao thunderup (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=35988)

Is there any team as babied as OKC is? Miami may be Stern's favorites but even they aren't paraded to the FT line

[D-Wade]

LOL. KD travel + phantom foul on the same play.

[racm]

I think I just saw Durant flop

[ElNono]

10 pt game

[racm]

Another OKC shooting foul

Flopping is just par for the course with the Thunderefs, tbh....

He's "busy" tonight.... don't worry, he'll find the time to post as soon as the Clippers, Heat, or Spurs lose another game :lol

Holy shit Gasol got slapped in the face in front of the refs and he didn't called a foul. :lmao

[racm]

Come on ZBo you know you're not gonna get a goaltend from Ibaka

[D-Wade]

Goaltend too!

[Reck]

Wow 3 straight thunder fouls that went ignored by the refs. Holy crap not even trying to hide it anymore.

[Reck]

Game was too close so refs put a stop to that shit quick.

[Red Hawk #21]

Jesus, OKC gets away with murder.

Thunder should trade for JR Smith, they have something in common :lol

[racm]

No call on Marc. Wtf

[scanry]

Gasol gets pushed on one side and Durant gets touched and he gets a call.

[Strategic]

Can't let the inbred Methlahoman hicks go home seeing their :cry beloved Thunder :cry lose:chestbump

Make up call

[scanry]

Methlahoma hicks UPSET!

Shocking from Memphis there, Perkins down the other end should have been an easy score for Grizz

Small ball the future of the NBA?

Not so sure about that, San Antonio and OKC are at the top of their divisions without relying on undersized 4s
