Game 5, Fat Gasol vs Skinny Durant, brought to you by Seattle blues

[Robz4000]

Fuck, Spurs better close out the Dubs tomorrow. Gonna be tough as hell to beat the Grizz WITH some rest.

[Cry Havoc]

Maybe now people will realize just how truly remarkable LeBron's run with the Cavs was back in 2007. OKC's team is arguably much more talented than the role players James had around him, yet he took them to the Finals.

Look at how limited Durant is without help on his team. LeBron put a team on his back for an entire season/playoffs like Durant has had to do the last 6 games, and it's already completely wore him down.

[thunderup]

.................................................. ...................................wow

[100%duncan]

Lebron was always a good closer and efficient. People's beef is what Durant does always with Westbrook: deferring too much. What you are seeing here though is Durant can't take this over without WB there.

No Beard and Turtle head to defer to makes Durant look like a lost puppy in the middle of bears tbh. :lol

No question at all. Not only the talent around him, but what Lebron did on both ends. Then you see OKC has played teams way more flawed than Lebron did on his way to the finals.

I wouldn't be bragging about nearly blowing a 3-0 series lead and being taken to six games by the 8th seed, son....

[Cry Havoc]

Who's the 3rd for you?

This season either Duncan or CP3.

Probably going to change next year though, I think Paul has plateaued as a player because he doesn't seem to have the killer instinct/leader quality that he really needs to ascend to the next level. He's merely an elite PG who's a good leader, but he can't take over games against good defenders.

Harden and Curry could both really be incredible next year. We'll have to see.

[james evans]

durant looks average when the refs aren't giving him a foul on every other possession.

[100%duncan]

He hardly did much during the season except stand at the three point line and shoot then hope it goes in. All Thunder got from that idiot was an extra spot up shooter.

God the Thunder are a stupid fucking team. They actually play pretty incredible considering after Durant and Martin, the highest BBIQ on the team is probably that of your average high schooler.

Less about trading Harden and more about trading Harden instead of Refsbrook. Just colossally stupid. They tried to build a team like the Spurs and then decided having a guy who's the mental equal to Michael Jackson is a good move.

No. Just no. They needed Harden AND three zebra's last year to beat the Spurs. Wasn't going to happen again, especially given how much better the Spurs are this year on defense.

Grizz ball!

[DPG21920]

No. Just no. They needed Harden AND three zebra's last year to beat the Spurs. Wasn't going to happen again, especially given how much better the Spurs are this year on defense.

Spurs are struggling with the Warriors. They could have very well lost to a healthy OKC team sans Harden. Especially with Manu terrible, Tiago struggling and TP a little hobbled.

[resistanze]

Why is Randolph on the floor?

[Cry Havoc]

trust me, i wanted the thunder to win this series. i am terrified of the grizz

Why? If we can shut Curry down, Conley doesn't have a chance of torching us. Green or Leonard, one of the two, will make his life a nightmare and then it's just a matter of doubling down on ZBo in the post.

Not going to be an easy series, but nothing to be scared of. Spurs in 6. Maybe 7 if we have another two games of shooting 30%.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Last 2:40 the Thunder has score 16 points.
Previous 9 minutes the Thunder scored 6 points.

Exactly. Parker has been hurt this entire series. Of COURSE we'd have problems with OKC if Tony is hurt, but this series would be over already had we not had an incredibly awful shooting night. This is with GSW putting up historic shooting performances early in the series, playing WAY over their heads.

Not going to be an easy series, but nothing to be scared of. Spurs in 6. Maybe 7 if we have another two games of shooting 30%.

If it were that easy, most teams could beat them. Spurs, with how Manu has played, are essentially playing the Grizz (who are better than when they beat us before) with an injured Manu again. Spurs are questionably better than that year. Spurs could win, but it's no where near as easy as you make it sound (unless I am mis-reading your tone).

They didn't have Gay in that 2011 playoff run tbh.

[Cry Havoc]

The rest of your post sort of contradicts that qualifier.

I'm just saying that people underestimate how dominating our backcourt is. They are literally a lock down machine, and they should be even better if Tony's calf gets back to 90-95%. ZBo is probably the only player who's going to be able to give us consistent problems on that team.

Again, not easy, I'm just looking at the matchups we have that are going to be pretty good for our team. The Grizzlies struggle on offense and so far they've played two teams who are not even in the same league of defensive systems as we have, especially since Refsbrook didn't get any burn in the series.

[DAF86]

They didn't have Gay in that 2011 playoff run tbh.

Whoever the Grizzlies play in the next round I hope they play better in that series than they played in the Thunder series.

The Grizzlies shooting percentage got worse as the series went on.

Especially if they face the Heat ...

:lol
the Thunder boat is called Worst Trade Ever.

memphis is overrated as much as z-bo is overweight. beating the crippled OKC doesn't mean much, durant was tired out because his teammates couldn't offer him no legit support, and to make things worse, brooks is such a terrible coach that doesn't have any single idea how to make his niggas function as a team.

OKC doesn't win that series even with a healthy Westbrook. WB gets them one more game, but make no mistake, Grizz were winning it.

What games have you been watching? did you saw the thunders execution on offence compared with the execution with Westbrick?
Grizzlies are so overrated now that they won 4-1 against a crippled OKC.

OKC would prob steamroll through west like last year if not for that injury. But that's a good thing for you since you gonna win the WCF in max 6 now.

Get Westbrook on this series and is probably still 4-1 but for the Thunder, tbh. All those close games would have fallen on OKC's side.

^ Girzz are a bad matchup for OKC, just like OKC is for the Spurs. Dont let the close games fool you -- thats exactly Memphis's MO: keep it close and create enough separation at the end. It's annoying because one always feels their team is in it, but that's what they do. OKC still would have had a very hard time surviving their post play, offensive rebounding prowess, and stifling D. People forget that a hobbled Memphis team took OKC to 7 a few years back, with no Gay and a hobbled Z-Bo (incidentally the same year they beat the Spurs in the 1-8 match up). That was with WBrick, Durant, AND Harden.

I'm not doing the whole, "Spurs > OKC" thing either. Assuming the Spurs get out of the Warrior series, Memphis will be a tough out for them.

Looking forward to an epic Spurs-Grizzlies WCF. Close out GS tonight, guys!

[DPG21920]

I agree with saying Memphis is very good, but not some ultra elite team (at least not against OKC). Spurs have a better offense than a WB-less OKC team and every game OKC was right there. Spurs defense is probably as good if not better than OKC when Tiago is playing and healthy too. The good news is, even if Thabo shuts down TP, Memphis has shown you can still be in the game with your number one option not playing great (Like KD with OKC).

all i know if that the grizz are dangerous without rudy gay. with him, they aint shit. i hated to see that trade happen. he's the sole reason they lost to the clippers last season in the first round. shooting 40% for the series constantly putting up bad shots. him being injured is the only reason they beat us in 2011. but how many times have they beat us since he's been back? pre season and regular season combined.. i know the answer..

Barkley: "Memphis is not only going to the WCF but the NBA finals". I love it, tbh.


gonna come back and requote yourself once the finals start?


Maybe I will, Maybe I won't.

Hey look at that, I did. :hat
