Oklahoma City Thunder (#2) vs. Memphis Grizzlies (#7) II Playoff Series Thread

[BanditHiro]

Oh, and why does Rogues cheer for OKC with same intensity of Heat?

isn't he Mitchel?

[Texas_Ranger]

Well this game is over

[313]

They went up 20 in game one

[Robz4000]

or is OKC just playing more like themselves?

Or could Meth be blowing their load early?

[mclinejr]

Oh, and why does Rogues cheer for OKC with same intensity of Heat?

He's praying, hoping, and wishing that OKC eliminates the Spurs.

[MeloHype]

Coasting in the playoffs is the stupidest shit I've ever heard

[testies]

Every 50/50 foul on OKC he just posts "Omg rEfS SaViNg gRIzzLiEs", just ban the retard

[ElNono]

:lol Marv Albert with the "there's gonna be a game 7 in OKC"

[crc21209]

Well, it was nice while it lasted Memphis. I blame the Oklahoman for this tbh. They talked shit about their own guy, and it pissed him off. Damn it...

[rogues]

He's praying, hoping, and wishing that OKC eliminates the Spurs.
:lol Your brethren don't agree with this 117+ page thread, by far the most active on ST..

[mclinejr]

Memphis isn't just going to give up. Don't count them out yet.

[Splits]

Coasting in the playoffs is the stupidest shit I've ever heard

Yeah, OKC is coasting with Durant averaging 48 min a game

[313]

Lmao at people thinking OKC's gonna win this game. Memphis always has an answer.

[ElNono]

OKC with a completely different attitude on defense... Memphis was scoring incredibly easy in previous games, and they're having a hard time right now...

This Memphis team is resilient though, OKC needs to keep the foot on the pedal....

[oh crap]

time for OKC to step on their fucking throats and not look back.

[RD2191]

Grizz better come out strong to start the 3rd.

[mclinejr]

:lol Your brethren don't agree with this 117+ page thread, by far the most active on ST..

I won't deny that the outcome of this series has an impact on the Spurs, and I won't deny that I'm rooting for Memphis.

Maybe you should own up to the fact that you'd rather have the Heat play OKC in the Finals, because you know the Spurs would kick the Heat's ass.

[Malik Hairston]

Damn, well now we have to go back to the original plan of hoping Ubuntu works against the Thunder in round 2, tbh:lol..

Don't call it a comeback.....

[HI-FI]

how has the officiating been? I imagine the league is scared of a Cleveland 2.0 situation, especially after fucking over Seattle.

[313]

OMG PUT TA IN THE GAME

[313]

[HI-FI]

nevermind, refs/league trying to take over.

:lmaorefs

[Spur-Addict]

Clear foul on Lee

[mclinejr]

Memphis is getting owned by the refs.

[KaiRMD1]

Wow, refs in FULL EFFECT

[spursparker9]

Stern is still contacting Silver.

[Captivus]

HAHA!!! OMG!

[Spur-Addict]

OMG PUT TA IN THE GAME

:rollin The change in the series is the improved health of Prince

[Captivus]

what are they screaming?

[mclinejr]

The commentators are being harsh.

[spursparker9]

lol OKC in the bonus already.

9min left

[mclinejr]

what are they screaming?

"Refs, you suck."

[ElNono]

there's the proverbial 20pt lead...

[baseline bum]

Had to figure OKC was finally going to show up again in this series and that Memphis couldn't match their talent.

[313]

:rollin The change in the series is the improved health of Princeis that why he wasn't playing? Lmao Memphis' coach is an idiot. Does he not see how washed up he is?

[HI-FI]

sorry any Grizz fans, you're about to experience what the Spurs did in 2012 unless you can overcome the refs. hoping for the best.

[Captivus]

"Refs, you suck."

thx

[ElNono]

what are they screaming?

"Mexico, Mexico, Mexico"

[Malik Hairston]

Memphis is a mediocre team that won a few OT games when the Thunder were struggling with chemistry issues and lacking energy, tbh..

They just don't have the weapons to beat a team like OKC in a series..tonight's a blow-out and Game 7 is going to be a blow-out, as well..

[Capt Bringdown]

Memphis had their chance in game 3, but Beno had a key Turnobli. That was it, bye-bye Memphis.

[sook]

Nice knowing you memphis

[Venti Quattro]

Where was this Oklahoma City from games 2-5

[HI-FI]

this is just borderline ridiculous. classic WWE/NBA, call a bunch of ticky tack shit on one end, let the other side play rough.

[Spur-Addict]

is that why he wasn't playing? Lmao Memphis' coach is an idiot. Does he not see how washed up he is?

:lol Yes. He had the flu or some bullshit like that.

[mclinejr]

:lol

[ElNono]

:lol

[RD2191]

Looks like no close-outs tonight.

[Spur-Addict]

:lmao Butler instantly ok to start a confrontation

[crc21209]

:lol Fake thug Butler with his cock eye..

[HI-FI]

I didn't think it was possible to make OKC any more bitchmade, now you have Caron Butler and his 3 pointer/call me schtick.

[mclinejr]

"Doesn't Johnson have a black belt in karate?" :lol

[Budkin]

At least the Grizz pushed it to 7.

[MeloHype]

Okc already in the bonus? Wtf :lol

[ElNono]

who is that scrub Johnson, tbh?

[Spur-Addict]

Brooks with that quick timeout :lol

[mclinejr]

The commentators are seriously biased. You'd think TNT was OKC based.

[ElNono]

somebody tell that nigga they're down 17...

[Darius Bieber]

:lol the haters in this thread

If you ask Spurs fans, most will want Heat to win another championship rather than OKC.

[Splits]

:lol chest bumping after 4-0 run to cut it to 17

[Robz4000]

Grizz comeback starts now !!!!!!!!!!

[HI-FI]

If Grizz can't win this series, and I predicted they wouldn't because of the league's investment in OKC, but if they can grind down OKC that's not too bad. Maybe Grizz can pull this off though, that would be great.

[rogues]

If you ask Spurs fans, most will want Heat to win another championship rather than OKC.
It doesn't make any sense, tbh:lol..Lebron took your team's fifth and last opportunity at a championship..I praise Lebron for the greatness and the growing rivalry between him and Kevin..Spurfan praises Lebron for winning titles from hated teams like OKC and irrelevant teams like Lakers..it's really cute to watch..

[Budkin]

Lucky shot from Westbrook.

[mclinejr]

While I agree, many will say that the Spurs killed themselves in the 2013 finals and don't attribute it with Lebron taking it. I think 2012 WCF has a lot to do with everyone's hatred of OKC.

[TheGoldStandard]

Conley and Lee showing why they suck so bad.

[313]

Lmaoo he tripped him

[LkrFan]

The Big Dogs have awaken. Be very afraid farmhands. :)

Butler goes Bountygate against Conley, foul on Conley...

[Budkin]

Conley done?

OKC fans should thank the newspaper that called Durant "Mr. Unreliable." :lol

Deceased. And with him, any chance at a game 7 victory :lol

not surprised you rooting for Thunder, since they get prime Laker hookups. plus it gives your boy Lebron a better chance of ringing. :tu

[313]

Memphis' rotations have been garbage. I want to see more Miller next game, and no Tayshaun Prince at all.

[ElNono]

Conley has been a pussy all series, tbh... but he's a steady hand for MEM... huge loss for them if he can't play game 7...

[Darius Bieber]

To be fair, Memphis IS the team that blew a 27-point lead at home and lost a few years ago :lol

[Venti Quattro]

Memphis' offense is just a struggle right now... They have 61 after three quarters. Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka have 59 among themselves

[ElNono]

Game 7 for this is when? Saturday or Sunday?

[313]

Memphis is all wrong for SA but against OKC they match up well especially with the "hardcore defense" just a shame that they shit the bed at HOME.

If OKC win this series, they are going to be the champion this year.

[Darius Bieber]

Yep, and keep in mind that, while they did get swept, two of those games went into overtime.

[TheGoldStandard]

OKC is very beatable even with KD and Russ going off, it's those ticky tack fouls and scrubs going off that I can't stand.

[ElNono]

Memphis is all wrong for SA but against OKC they match up well especially with the "hardcore defense" just a shame that they shit the bed at HOME.

I know they do, but they don't have enough firepower... they really amped up their D, and made WB and KD look bad, which is pretty amazing, tbh

[timtonymanu]

:lol I guess it was too good to be true for Memphis to advance.

[hater]

Series over. OKC in a beatdown in game 7. Memphis is finished. Gasol looks like he ran a double marathon :lol

Thunda was obviously just toying with nigglets

[BatManu20]

OKC is very beatable even with KD and Russ going off, it's those ticky tack fouls and scrubs going off that I can't stand.

This. But either one of those or both almost always happen which makes them extremely difficult. If the Spurs meet them at full strength, I'd expect it to go 7.

[TheGoldStandard]

I know they do, but they don't have enough firepower... they really amped up their D, and made WB and KD look bad, which is pretty amazing, tbh

The rotations tonight are highly questionable. Poor Mike Miller is the only gun they have.

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol Man this is such a kickback season, tbh. All of these pretenders beating the shit out of each other is funny as fuck. Miami just furthers themselves from the rest of the crowd even more.

This series is so much like last year Finals.

Lebron was kept in check by Kawhi for 5 games, then broke free in game 6 and game 7.

Durant was kept in check by Tony Allen for 5 games, then broke free in game 6 and (game 7)

Memphis starting the corpse of Tayshaun Prince wasn't a good move, and it absolutely played a part in their loss today. Durant was getting whatever he wanted, and it raised his confidence, while opening up things for everyone. That wasn't the sole reason for the loss, because their offense was nonexistent, but it didn't help. He brings absolutely nothing on offense, so he's a net negative on the floor. This was Memphis' best chance to close them out, and with Scott Brooks finally giving Adams minutes, it doesn't bode well for Memphis.

That said, I made my prediction, and I'll going to go down with the ship if need be. Memphis in 7. Mike Miller with the game winning 3 pointer.

[ElNono]

Tayshaun Prince was averaging 16 MPG in the series and started in every game going into tonight..he played 16 minutes again tonight:lol..

So, Memphis's rotation was the same, not sure what SpursFan313 is referring to, tbh..

[baseline bum]

Memphis didn't come to play tonight.. Don't understand how you don't have a killer instinct.

They're completely outclassed talentwise.

[cd021]

No way the Spurs are as good as last year with Parker looking completely worn down. They're significantly worse than last season. Dallas is in no way some kind of nightmare matchup; Spurs just aren't playing well at all other than last night.


I wouldn't write Parker off because of a series where Dallas has specifically done everything in its power to limit Parker. Going under on screens to cut off drives, and sticking a 6'10 Marion on him, all of that and he's still posting 17 and 4.5 assists of 45% FG. He will improve as the Spurs advance. There has been nothing to suggest that he will have a Ginobili 2012 and 2013 post season.

The Spurs bench is superior to last seasons bench with Mills and Belinelli to replace Neal, Manu has played some of his very best basketball in recent years this season and its continued to the playoffs. Diaw is also better this season than last year. Leonard has shown he is capable of stepping up his game, given how well he played in the 2nd half of the season he could have his best playoff with extended minutes.

The Spurs defense is 4th best in the NBA. Only Indiana, Chicago and GSW are better.

[cd021]

lol OKC will lose at home, as well as Pacers

Miller and Korver will be the x factors

I'd expect the game to be called fairly, given the extra attention. I just don't see OKC losing 3 out of 4 times in OKC. They lost just 7 times in 41 home games.

I think the Pacers will win game 7. They dodged a major bullet and won't blow their chance to avoid the embarrassment.

[DAF86]

lol at the deafening silence in this thread after an OKC blow out win. where all them doubters and haters at now?!

I'm just glad with the 7 games, 4 OT's series. Way more than I thought possible. Hopefully the Clippers can force 6/7 more games out of those very tired Kevin Durant's legs, tbh.

Golden State Warriors and defense should never, never be on the same sentence...

Well, they do have some very good defensive numbers.

I know... gotta be a fluke!

[Arcadian]

That's naturally to be expected. Blowouts by favored teams are not exciting. Memphis winning is much more exciting because it was so unexpected, and if anything, most people were picking OKC to blow out every game in this series.

The real mystery is why a Hawks fan is so excited about a predictable Thunder victory...? :lol

[Jacob1983]

No damn way the refs and Nobel Peace prize nominee let OKC lose game 7.

[Chinook]

I know... gotta be a fluke!

The Warriors probably have the best defensive personnel outside of the Spurs when they're healthy. If they had a good defensive coach like Joerger or Thibs, they'd be unstoppable.

[baseline bum]

I wouldn't write Parker off because of a series where Dallas has specifically done everything in its power to limit Parker. Going under on screens to cut off drives, and sticking a 6'10 Marion on him, all of that and he's still posting 17 and 4.5 assists of 45% FG. He will improve as the Spurs advance. There has been nothing to suggest that he will have a Ginobili 2012 and 2013 post season.

The Spurs bench is superior to last seasons bench with Mills and Belinelli to replace Neal, Manu has played some of his very best basketball in recent years this season and its continued to the playoffs. Diaw is also better this season than last year. Leonard has shown he is capable of stepping up his game, given how well he played in the 2nd half of the season he could have his best playoff with extended minutes.

Parker looks worn down and has most of the season. Dude's not healthy and it shows. Sticking Marion on him never worked when Phoenix tried it back when Marion was a crazy athlete.

It's actually a shame Bogut got hurt...

And now O'Neal. I can't see them winning a Game Seven despite how well Draymond Green is playing defensively.

[Joseph Kony]

Memphis had the chance and they fucking blew it. They ain't winning game 7 in OKC

[cd021]

He's been good enough in the first halves of the series. He has struggled in the 2nd halves. Remember, the playoffs are more demanding but their is extra rest in between games. Especially if the Spurs closeout a series before the other series is completed. Assuming we advance that far, he could have 4 or 5 days rest in a certain situation. He has shown an ability to turn it off and on.

Marion simply makes it harder for Parker on screens they are switching or trapping on P&Rs, he can't turn the corner and use his speed to take advantage of a defender trying to play catch up. Diaw can help with that. He has shot the ball pretty well from 3 and even hit the go ahead 3 in game 4. They have to be much more conscious of how they play the P&R when he is running it with Diaw, given his ability to drive and court vision.

Just cause Parker isn't going 05 Phoenix on an 9 year older Marion doesn't mean all that much to me. He just has to pick his spots and make the best play possible while taking care of the ball.



I think you're also underestimating the Spurs balance. The Spurs have 5 players score at least 15 points in a crucial game 5. The Spurs have explosive scoring role player that could post 15 on any given night like of Green, Beli, Mills or Diaw. The Spurs don't necessarily need Parker to dominate. He could be the 17 ppg, 5 ast. 50% FG Parker and the Spurs would be just as good as if he was the 21 ppg Parker the last couple of seasons.

[cd021]

Yep. Reminds me of Boston losing game 6 in Boston in 2012. Its over before Game 7 really even started.

[Joseph Kony]

I'd be interested to see the percentage of teams that lose the series after losing game 6 up 3-2, anyone know where you can find stats for shit like that?

[Trainwreck2100]

Just look up percentage of teams that post after being up 3-2. Losing game six is a given in that scenario

Remember Buford being seen scouting this kid before the draft... Thank god Brooks is as terrible as Presti is brilliant tbh... Clock is ticking for OKc tho, 2 years to go until Durant is a UFA...

[Mugen]

It was a good run for Memphis but they're done in G7 tbh.

ZBo is a dumbass though

[BillMc]

And now O'Neal. I can't see them winning a Game Seven despite how well Draymond Green is playing defensively.

Agreed.

However, if with Curry and Thompson they always have a shooters chance. Though Golden State will get destroyed by the Thunder now that all their bigs are damaged or out.

He knew the series was over if they lost last night. Memphis' best chance now is to start small and play Prince at the four and Allen at the three. Then, they have to hope their smalls find a way to score, Gasol and Koufus have great two-way games and one of Johnson and Miller has a great game.

[Mugen]

memphis' best chance right now is to dive at knees tbh, cuz they ain't winning this series :lol

[Jacob1983]

The Grizzlies should put some acne cream on their hands and let Durant smell them. It might keep him distracted for a while.

[ElNono]

This was a great series though... lots of OT games, and overall pretty crazy... I actually think OKC will be better for it going forward...

[Robz4000]

Agreed, OKC got the test they needed. Won't lead to a ring but they'll get out of the West now.

[HI-FI]

I'll laugh so hard if Grizzlies play out of their mind tomorrow and win it. Not expecting it but wouldn't be shocked either.

[Robz4000]

That would make the Spurs losing in the first round hurt less but at the same time burn with the force of 10,000 suns.

Lol NBA

[~O~]

To be honest, I'm not mad at all that Zach Randolph punch a guy. He's been getting the least whistles all series. I've gotten use to the Thunder fouling the shit out of him with no call.

[BatManu20]

I had even forgotten about the Calathes suspension. Grizz got a raw deal in this series.

Tony Allen got poked in the eye. He's going to play tonight.

[Clipper Nation]

I had even forgotten about the Calathes suspension. Grizz got a raw deal in this series.

To be fair, the Calathes suspension helped Memphis by allowing for more minutes for Beno....

[Texas_Ranger]

Beno will save the day!!

“It hurts,” Randolph said :cry

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Thanks goodness Tayshaun Prince is no longer starting. Even though I think that Joerger is 82 games too late on this it's a start. I hope he doesn't get a single minute in this game. I like Allen and Miller starting.

Hoping to see James Johnson and Jon Leuer in this game.

[Spur-Addict]

About to get ugly real quick :lol

[Arnold Toht]

As long as Duncan doesn't ring.

[Chinook]

I like Miller for spacing, but at least Prince could pretend to guard Ibaka. Allen was an obvious start, so I'd've made Lee sixth man.

[Splits]

Tornado Town on pace for a 176-64 win

[Chinook]

Joerger needs to be aggressive in calling timeouts. If he isn't about to keep pace down to limit the Thunder's scoring, his team won't be in a position to use timeouts at the end of the game. I also think he should go big with his second unit with Davis and Koufus.

[davethedope]

Epic game 7.... ruined

[Splits]

Damn that meth crowd is like the Jizz except fatter and amped up on crank. Pasty as fuck

[313]

Ibaka not making every jump shot he throws up is always weird watching

[313]

San Antonio could use Mike Miller. He's not afraid to shoot, unlike a lot of the shooters we have...

[spurraider21]

solid start for memphis, but they're going to need miller to be hot from 3, and probably some big shots from Beno if they want a puncher's chance.

to be fair, the small ball lineup is where memphis actually had success...

[spursparker9]

OKC will leads by 15 pts by half time

[313]

Randolph was holding Memphis back

[Chinook]

San Antonio could use Mike Miller. He's not afraid to shoot, unlike a lot of the shooters we have...

Would have been a much better signing than Beli, especially had the team drafted a player who had come over this year. That way, they could have given the rook experience in the regular season while save Miller for the playoffs.

Randolph has his pros and cons on D. Overall, I think they can play an OKC-style defense (when the Thunder care) without ZBo. If Joerger is as good as his reputation says he is, the Grizz will be fine on that end. They just have to hope for another fluke shooting night like in Game Two.

yeah pretty much. its crazy to think that Reggie Jackson's fluke filled game 4 is the only reason this series is still going on :lol

[313]

Mike Miller pulling abaka out of the paint is working out gr8

[spurraider21]

over/under 0.5 four-point-plays by OKC in this game?
