OKC vs MEM Game 1 blog sponsored by BUMP's lawyer

[jag]

Thunder are far from physical, perfect team to play if you're the Spurs.

Unfortunately they ed up with that costly Game 1. Then it snowballed.

We need to stop with this nonsense.

[LnGrrrR]

Nice hard foul there.

no.

Nice hard foul there.

I really like Collision. Hard worker, plays good defense, just a very good back up center.

[alchemist]

btw is everyone a Thunder fan now?

[TampaDude]

KD coast to coast!!!

[alchemist]

Z-Bo >>>>>>>>>

[Greg Oden]

what a terrible pass by the based god then follows it up with a tasty fade away.

[alchemist]

Young was huge against us, hope he remains the same against the Thunder

[Ginobilly]

We need to stop with this nonsense.

There's only like 3 teams that are considered physical in today's NBA. Memphis, Lakers, and Boston, that's it! All the other teams are finesse teams.

[LakerHater]

Cant win if Westbrook doesnt make shots!


.... hes 5-6,

[jag]

Gonna root for the Griz in this series.

[Jodelo]

Westbrook on pace for 28 shots...

[TampaDude]

Crawford is dominating so far.

[Fireball]

btw is everyone a Thunder fan now?

absolutely not ... I like the Thunder but also I want to see that it was not only a fluke or an extreme matchup advantage of the Grizzlies beating the Spurs in the first round ...

now that the game has started I feel myself rooting for Memphis

I just think people need to stop with the "Spurs would have beat this team/ Spurs would have beat that team" nonsense.

seems like most of this thread is pro-Thunder. I'm going for the Grizz in this one.

[TampaDude]

Durant with the you 3.

[TampaDude]

Good game so far.

if you don't believe match-ups matter

^ this

It's clear that the 2011 Spurs weren't winning .

[Fireball]

OKCs defense does not look impressive ... but they made Arthur miss a shot

[IronMexican]

Pretty exciting first quarter.

[Fireball]

if you don't believe match-ups matter

matchups are huge in basketball ... but to win a le you have to face a matchup problem in a series anyway ... too sad we got it in the first round

This mindset makes me giggle (mannishly).

There's no way the Spurs save face after the abortion that was their first round performance. Even if Memphis DOES find a way to get past OKC, SA should still be embarrassed by what they put out on the floor. And they sure as better make some off-season changes to adust.

I find myself "rooting" for MEM's team bus to crash.
