Grizzlies at Thunder Game 1 thread

[Venti Quattro]

10:00 AM PT! :lmao :lmao :lmao

Tough call, but I think Grizz will pull Game 1 off.

[JRHernandez88]

Grizzlies in 6.

[Trainwreck2100]

Tough call, but I think Grizz will pull Game 1 off.

:lol the eastern game is on at a later time. Espn has foresaken the thunder

[Raven]

should be a great series, looking forward to it.

[boutons_deux]

should be a great series, looking forward to it.

yep. With OKC at full strength in season, Grizz won both @MEM, and lost badly @ OKC (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=43121)

My bet is that Grizz win in 5, or 6 max.

[Legacy]

I'm going to enjoy this series for sure. :wakeup

[Spurs9]

Going to be a good series.

[Splits]

RefKC in 6

[oh crap]

guess i'll be the only guy calling the series for OKC. and the only guy that's gonna be right.

[Bill_Brasky]

Worst playoff music ever, I don't think there's one NBA fan that listens to this "music"

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Perkins has never been a factor against the Grizzlies and I doubt he will be in this series.

Collison will get more clock in this series because defends Zach very well. He did a good job on him in the playoff series 2 years ago and did a great job on him in the last meeting.

We need Marc in attack mode and not defer mode.

Conley and Bayless should dominate the matchup win Mr. October and Derek Fisher. I don't see a reason for Dooling to play in this series.

Kevin Martin has killed the Grizzlies in the past when he was with Sacramento and Houston so I hope that this doesn't happen in this series.

[jag]

I don't know what it is, but I feel like Heather Cox would really take care of me in bed. She doesn't seem like she'd be a selfish lover. I think she'd really put it on me.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Lot of missed layups in this game.

[Bill_Brasky]

Think these teams are tired?

[Typical London Boy]

Pretty fucking glad that I didn't take the Over 187.5 Points line here, tbh.

[jag]

OKC fan is unbearable

[Joyrider]

Grizzlies have a great chance to steal game 1 with how flaccid Thunder is coming out.

[baseline bum]

:lol faggots still standing
:lol Community

[NASpurs]

Nuh uh OKC fans, you can't sit down because a time out was called. Gotta keep standing up.

[skut_farkus]

Grizzlies in 5, 6 at the most

[thunderup]

I blame the start to the early game. We look like shit.

[hyhy]

both teams nervous at start

[Warlord23]

The OKC bigs have taken 5 out of their 9 FGAs - playing right into Memphis' hands

[jag]

Lionel Hollins with the strategic X's and O's goods, per par, Jason Witten no helmet, Dejuan Blair no ACLs, magic's son likes dick, etc

[NASpurs]

:lol 7-4 with half the quarter gone

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Too many ill-advised jumpshots by the Grizzlies.

[Captivus]

This game is a mess...

[thunderup]

That's more like it.

[NASpurs]

Too many ill-advised jumpshots by the Grizzlies.

Yeah I agree, they stopped going to their bread and butter, getting it into the post.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Worst playoff music ever, I don't think there's one NBA fan that listens to this "music"
Shadowflames might

[jag]

Why is Hubie Brown so old and worthless? Why doesn't he ever say anything that matters? Relying on Dorris Burke and Hubie Brown's corpse is only part of the reason why ESPN/ABC lag so far behind TNT in NBA broadcasting. That abortion of a pregame/halftime show is another good reason.

[jeebus]

lol keeping ibaka and trading harden

[NASpurs]

Gasol and 1!

:lol Porkins

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Finally the Grizzlies realized they need to go to the basket.

[Joyrider]

Who would miss the most lay ups in a series?? Danny Green or Tony Allen?

[HarlemHeat37]

Jag and DD with the goods in this thread, tbh..

I'm cheering for OKC in this series..feels dirty, tbh..

[NASpurs]

Totally blew that fastbreak

[Seventyniner]

Wow, Grizz get a 2 on 1 and kick it back to Bayless outside the 3 point line.

[jeebus]

this is worse that Hawks/Pacers

[NASpurs]

Hopefully Arthur burns OKC with that midrange jumper like he does against the Spurs

[irishock]

mempis got this tbh

[Captivus]

looks like theres 20 players on the court!

[01Snake]

14-16 at the end of one? Wow

[Seventyniner]

On pace for a final score of 64-56.

[resistanze]

What's with all the threes?

[Spurs9]

Wtf at that radio shack commercial. Are they sellin dildos?

[Seventyniner]

The stylized logo thing just before the Hollins interview showed the Thunder and Rockets logos. Guess someone is still hungover from last night.

[roycrikside]

Worst first quarter of a playoff game ever. Two teams combine for 12 field goals, 3 assists and 5 turnovers.

[Seventyniner]

ZBo and 1. That's the 4th and 1 I've seen since I started watching with 9 minutes left in the 1st.

The Grizz sure foul jumpshooters a lot for being a good defensive team.

[NASpurs]

It's going to be hilarious to see where OKC gets their points from with Durant on the bench. This ain't Houston.

[Spurs9]

:lol Okc offense

[01Snake]

Wtf at that radio shack commercial. Are they sellin dildos?

I'm not sure what they were selling as I was focused on the hot chicks.

[NASpurs]

Martin needs to score 20+ a game for OKC to have a chance in this series.

[jag]

Scott Brooks is like any black coach in the NBA, except unlike most black coaches, he isn't even able to motivate his players by being that "father figure" type.

[jeebus]

is there a more annoying arena than methapeake energy? enough with the gay ass music already.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

ZBo and 1. That's the 4th and 1 I've seen since I started watching with 9 minutes left in the 1st.

The Grizz sure foul jumpshooters a lot for being a good defensive team.
Yep. They also foul 3 point shooters alot too.

[thunderup]

KMart showing up

[Captivus]

I didnt like that call...Martin didnt had any ideas and just make that ugly shot, the defender is just standing there with his hands in the air. Theres no push, theres nothing...idk...

[NASpurs]

Those are some hairy ass knuckles.

[NASpurs]

Not a flagrant. Just looked more nasty than it actually was... imo.

[Legacy]

RefKC in 6


guess i'll be the only guy calling the series for OKC. and the only guy that's gonna be right.


I'm cheering for OKC in this series..feels dirty, tbh..


I'm not counting OKC out in this series, either, tbh.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Collison looks liked he went for the ball. Not a flagrant.

[LakerHater]

Thats no Flagarant!!

[jag]

Yeah that's not a flagrant. But I can't even remember the last time I saw a real flagrant. Maybe Bynum on Barea?

[Grit and Grind]

Not a flagrant tbh

[Grit and Grind]

LOL Tayshaun

[LakerHater]

Ball dont lie!

[resistanze]

Wasn't a flagrant but fuck Collision. I support anything unfair to happen to that fucker.

[redzero]

Not a flagrant at all.

[Grit and Grind]

Nice pass Gasol

[NASpurs]

Tayshun missing threes and freebies. Sure it's the limp that's made you miss them.

[Grit and Grind]

Nice passes by both teams

[Spursnlego]

This is going to be an annoying series tbh...

[Grit and Grind]

I hate this crowd

[LakerHater]

WOW Bayless

[jag]

I can't help but root for Memphis. Everything about OKC is so obnoxious. Gotta rep the 901

[Grit and Grind]

Baylessss

[LakerHater]

Friggin Martin answers!

[Grit and Grind]

Hubie Brown is turrible

[boutons_deux]

OKC FG 31% vs 39%

[thunderup]

:lol Kmart defecating all over Spurstalk

[Trainwreck2100]

is there a more annoying arena than methapeake energy? enough with the gay ass music already.

Memphis's arena is pretty bad, it's going to be a horrible series to watch and to listen to

[jag]

I hate that foul call. Such BS

[irishock]

:lmao faggot Durant with the swing through move
:lol still gets that call

[Grit and Grind]

OMG how is that a foul

[djohn2oo8]

Lol Durant

[irishock]

Damn Marc has some moves

[Grit and Grind]

GASOL with the hook

[redzero]

:lol patented Durant

[Captivus]

thats not a natural shooting move...

[Grit and Grind]

Austin Daye wow

[thunderup]

I can't help but root for Memphis. Everything about OKC is so obnoxious. Gotta rep the 901

I respect Memphis but their announcer's voice is as about as obnoxious as it gets.

[Grit and Grind]

LOL Foul what

[djohn2oo8]

Lol OKC

[BatManu20]

Weak call. I expect OKC to have 30 FT attempts this game, even without Westbrook.

[jag]

Scott Brooks' coaching expertise: "Don't let them score."

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Grizz once again throwing up bricks from the line.

The Thunder aren't missing from the line.

[Captivus]

Scott Brooks' coaching expertise: "Don't let them score."

Like 36 pts is a lot...smh...thats not the problem coach.

[Legacy]

I respect Memphis but their announcer's voice is as about as obnoxious as it gets.

Have to agree with you on that one. :rollin

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Tony Allen beat on another backdoor.

[thunderup]

:lol Tony Allen

[BatManu20]

Scott Brooks' coaching expertise: "Don't let them score."

:lol smh

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Grizzlies getting beat on the backdoor again. Marc you can't let Perkins do that to you.

[thunderup]

Memphis getting calls

[jag]

I always liked Austin Daye when he was with Detroit. He was drafted too high, but that's not his fault. Under the right coach I think he can be good. He's a matchup nightmare at 6'11" because he's quick enough to defend point guards. He can play the 2, 3 or 4.

[Splits]

Methheads starting front court 1-12 and they're still ahead. Big problem for Memphis.

[thunderup]

:lmao that call

[D-Wade]

Jackson taking on the Westbrook role... for better or worse.

[Raven]

daye :lol

[Spursnlego]

Memphis getting calls

Coming from Thunderfan lol

[jag]

Nice job on the airball Austin. Nice job bitch

[HarlemHeat37]

Both of these teams rely heavily on refs, more than any other teams in the league, tbh..something has to give, though..

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Mr. October so far is outplaying Mike Conley.

[jag]

I see you Heather Cox. I see you

[ElNono]

Both of these teams rely heavily on refs, more than any other teams in the league, tbh..something has to give, though..

beat me to it. This series will be largely impacted on how the whistle goes...

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Bad offense in the 1st quarter, bad defense in the 2nd quarter, 4 missed free throws.

The difference in the game for the Grizz.

[CGD]

I see 1 for 9 for A-baka, and then 1 for 6 for Perkins... and cant stop thinking where the hell was that during Game 6 of last year's WCF.

Memphis is a great team, especially if Pondexter and Prince can knock down those 3s. Not sure OKC was getting past this team even with Westbrook.

[LakerHater]

WHOOOOOAAAAAA!!!

[Bill_Brasky]

Pondexter goin IN

[redzero]

Q-Pon!

[Captivus]

3!!

[Spurs9]

Sick shot

[Captivus]

Funny how no one was posting and suddenly POW!!!

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Nice heave by Pondexter.

[resistanze]

God dammit I missed it.

[z0sa]

Dat double clutch halfcourter :wow

[NASpurs]

Of course that faggot Fisher makes that three...

[LakerHater]

Offensive foul!!!

[resistanze]

:lol fuck Collison

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Thank goodness for that offensive foul.

[NASpurs]

:lmao Collison

[resistanze]

Terrible defense.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Kevin Martin killing the Grizzlies like he use to in Sacramento and Houston.

[LakerHater]

WoW, two point game!!

[Darius Bieber]

I'm so glad that the Spurs don't have faggot, wannabe thugs like Durant and Perkins..

[D-Wade]

Prince playing better on O with each game...

[Clipper Nation]

I'm so glad that the Spurs don't have faggot, wannabe thugs like Durant and Perkins..

Durant's a crybaby, not a wannabe thug, tbh....

[resistanze]

Just got an alert LeBron missed a unanimous MVP decision by one vote. Carmel:lol got the other first place vote.

[LakerHater]

WHATA FUCKIN SHOT!!

[Clipper Nation]

Just got an alert LeBron missed a unanimous MVP decision by one vote. Carmel:lol got the other first place vote.

Whoever voted for Melo should be fired immediately, tbh.... :lol

[NASpurs]

Gasol is so ugly and his game is so pretty.

[Splits]

Is Abaka injured? :lol spearchucker benched

[jag]

Marc is really dirty when he's on his game.

[NASpurs]

:lmao Gasol taking out three or four people

[whitemamba]

memphis beatin that ass

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Too many missed free throws by the Grizzlies. Most of the misses come from the Grizzlies who shoot over 70% from the line.

9-17 from the line. Hope this doesn't comeback to haunt the Grizzlies like Game 2 against the Clippers did.

The Grizzlies in the regular season shot 77.3% from the line. I don't understand why the Grizzlies are this bad from the line in the postseason.

[Darius Bieber]

Durant's a crybaby, not a wannabe thug, tbh....
Eh. Ever since he yelled "Fuck yeah" to the Houston crowd filled with kids, I labeled him as one.

[thunderup]

Memphis is executing like a contender.

[CGD]

1 of 10

[jag]

Rudy Gay would be chucking 28-foot fadeaways right about now.

[NASpurs]

Fucking Fisher, rot in hell

[LakerHater]

Fuck Fisher!

[resistanze]

Gasol with the vaginal take to the rim

[thunderup]

Fish!

[Clipper Nation]

FUUUUUUCK FISHER!

[jag]

Conley :lol

[resistanze]

Conley, Jesus that was retarded.

[Clipper Nation]

Why couldn't Conley be this retarded against us?

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Grizz playing like crap right now.

[NASpurs]

:lmao getting rejected by Martin

Just kill yourself.

[thunderup]

Kmart with the defense!

[NASpurs]

Why couldn't Conley be this retarded against us?

:lol he burns us too.

[Technique]

I'm pulling for OKC, I'd rather have them face the Spurs than MEM.

[crc21209]

:lol getting blocked by Martin...

[thunderup]

Stupid foul Fish

[oh crap]

Come on okc

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Grizzlies going to the foul line.

I hope on this trip Marc remembers that he's an 84% foul shooter.

[BatManu20]

Wtf is Memphis doing? Looking like an 8 seed right now. Terrible shot selection. Go to your best players in the posts you idiots.

[Clipper Nation]

Of course Memphis decides to stop playing like world-beaters now :lol

[D-Wade]

Wtf is Memphis doing? Looking like an 8 seed right now. Terrible shot selection. Go to your best players in the posts you idiots.

[resistanze]

Of course Memphis decides to stop playing like world-beaters now :lol

Stern with the death stare goods imo

[thunderup]

Wow bad call.

[jeebus]

why is Ibaka so good at layups?

[BatManu20]

Durant making it look easy.

[Captivus]

use the clock MEM!

[jag]

:corn:

[HI-FI]

bullying niggas in the paint

[resistanze]

Gasol bullying scowl face, damn

[jag]

What a move from Fat Gasol

[ace3g]

why did Prince do that? you are up 1, why wait to touch the ball?

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Big shot by Marc.

Gotta get some stops.

[LakerHater]

Strong move!!

[resistanze]

What a move from Fat Gasol

Yeah, this nigga bullied Pau as a kid.

[thunderup]

No way you can guard that any better.

[jeebus]

P:lolrkins

[LakerHater]

WoW Perk!!

[NASpurs]

:lmao Porkins

[D-Wade]

LOL Porkins

[LakerHater]

UGLY shot Prince!!

[Clipper Nation]

P:lolrkins

[TheCultOfPersonality]

I have know idea what the heck the Grizzlies were doing on that offensive possession.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Gotta score here and get a stop.

[jag]

Lionel Hollins about to flex on niggas X's-and-O's style.

[BUMP]

Eh. Ever since he yelled "Fuck yeah" to the Houston crowd filled with kids, I labeled him as one.

rofl good point.

I don't think anybody has ever used profanity on a basketball court ever.

[HI-FI]

nice stogie son

[Darius McCrary]

Weak possession Memphis. At least use the whole clock if you're gonna take an abortion shot.

[IronMaxipad]

fail

[jag]

:lmao :lmao

[resistanze]

LMAO Conley

[NASpurs]

Sick pullup by Durant

[D-Wade]

Conley trying to be CP3 again

[LakerHater]

Saw that comming!

[jeebus]

guaransheed that the Chimp woulda bricked that shot

[Trainwreck2100]

Holy fuck that shot was dirty

[thunderup]

Kevin fucking Durant bitches!

[crc21209]

WTF kind of defense was that by Prince? :td

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Conley just lost the ball.

[Technique]

He didn't even milk the clock. Must really be feeling himself.

[CGD]

You just knew that was goin in...

[redzero]

:lol Conley

[Trainwreck2100]

nice stogie son

he's had that the entire game

[DPG21920]

Just incredible by Durant. Two really amazing, calm buckets. Let's see if MEM can get a good shot.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

If the Grizzlies lose, 13-21 from the line is the difference.

[Captivus]

Fisher with the steal...

[Mal]

Lol Memphis. Now Zbo will force his weird shot, and guess what... it wont get in

[ace3g]

Grizz have been terrible since that 1 min mark...

[Splits]

Memphis with total breakdown and lack of execution in the final minute. I blame black coach, tbh.

[resistanze]

WTF kind of defense was that by Prince? :td

What could he do in transition? He would've blown by him if he closed up

[crc21209]

Memphis should kick themselves in the ass if they lose this game...

[irishock]

:lol fucking chokers

[NASpurs]

Total choke job

[Reck]

Durant is still Durant. Clutch as fuck cocksucker.

[Otaku]

Game

[midnightpulp]

Yes! Suck it, Lakers farm team.

[DPG21920]

Terrible execution. Just really bad.

[jeebus]

lolololololololololololololololol

[resistanze]

DAT Memphis offense

[Mal]

[Trainwreck2100]

[jag]

Lionel Hollins you silly bitch

[irishock]

[HI-FI]

[crc21209]

What could he do in transition? He would've blown by him if he closed up

Excuses...

[IronMaxipad]

:lmao

[D-Wade]

Wow.

[Darius Bieber]

rofl good point.

I don't think anybody has ever used profanity on a basketball court ever.

Not directed at opposing fans. People who act like that are considered wannabe thugs in my opinion.

[EVAY]

Derek Fisher looked like he was the one who pushed that ball out on the steal.

All in all, I think OKC might be easier than Memphis. I don't know, and I could certainly be wrong, but at least if you lose a basketball game from OKC at least you survive it physically. Memphis looks like they may just kill you.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Facepalm

[Banzai]

Lol chokeeeeeeee

[Clipper Nation]

Games like these are what keeps the Black Coach Theory alive, tbh....

[Captivus]

SMH

[irishock]

Lol shut the fuck up Mike Tirico

[LakerHater]

Kinds looked like he pushed conley with his forearm!

[Trainwreck2100]

Derek Fisher looked like he was the one who pushed that ball out on the steal.

All in all, I think OKC might be easier than Memphis. I don't know, and I could certainly be wrong, but at least if you lose a basketball game from OKC at least you survive it physically. Memphis looks like they may just kill you.
Needing Kevin Martin to make shots is a doom for any team tbqh

[Killakobe81]

Memphis one solid creator scorer from being a true title contender

[StrengthAndHonor]

Memphis ain't built for this playoff thing


What a choke :lol

[BatManu20]

A choke job of epic proportions by Memphis. Terrible execution down the stretch. Durant was incredible though, gotta give him props.

[HI-FI]

he's had that the entire game

i just started watching.
