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

[KaiRMD1]

Westbrook is the other

manu?

Have they ever done as many times as Allen has in a single game?

[oh crap]

eh. i can live with that loss. okc collectively played like all night and durant had an uncharacteristically bad shooting night and they still took it to OT when after being down double digits multiple times in regulation. they still got this in 6.

[TampaDude]

Why on Earth would you be within 20 feet of Westbrook? Total flop, BTW...didn't work, Blunder...HA HA!

[Kidd K]

Durant and Westbrook FTAs: 25 (30 for whole team)

Entire Grizzlies team: 15. And 4 of those were intentional to extend the game. So it's really 25 (30) to 11.

[baseline bum]

meh, still think OKC has this series.... all I wanted was a little roughing up... but hey, props to dem bears, tbh

CROFL, could you imagine the Sonics and Spurs blowing their series so that Miami's le run goes through:

1. Charlotte
2. Brooklyn
3. Washington
4. Golden State, LA, or Portland?

[RD2191]

Salty why you salty? We was going for the reverse jinx. Tbh. Fwiw. Imo.

[TampaDude]

Memphis is mentally tough as . To blow leads and face the outrageous momentum swings that were going OKC's way into both overtimes--AND to come out on top--speaks volumes.

Sure, their stagnant offense is a red flag but them boys is TOUGH

I guaran ingtee the Spurs would've lost both games in OT.

heck, I think they can coast a game or two in some of those series...

That's exactly what's gonna happen. Spurs better get ready for 8, part deux.

This is why Vegas makes money,,,,,bettors who think like this.

Yes, Westbrook is pretty damn close.

[DAF86]

The Thunder are not going to squander this opportunity, tbh..

You've got some fandom learning to do. Don't blame you though, you've only been a fan since 2008

[daslicer]

Grizzlies will win this series now. I can't see OKC winning this series after losing these back to back OT games. Grizzlies now have supreme confidence they can win against this team based on the way these last two games have ended in dramatic fashion. They have the mental edge that they can beat this team in any situation.

I don't see it. I think people are forgetting that the Grizz knocked out the Thunder in 5 last year. And before you say "no Westbrook", think about that more as a reason than a knee-jerk rationalization. Basically, the Grizz already have a great game plan to win, as developed last year. Are Westbrook and his inconsistency enough to neutralize the Grizz game plan?

I'm not so sure. I picked the Grizz in 6 in my bracket before the series started.

I dont think its possible that you could be more gay Thunderup

scary, but we all know the league tries to protect Thunderefs to the best of its abilities. They're still very immature and weak at times.

[Mugen]

I honestly can't think of one adjustment Brooks has made in this series tbh.

[scanry]

It's like clock work when the Thunder face them Bears. They literally dare the two stars to beat them and take out the rest. Very reminiscent of the Spurs & OKC matchup.

In the NBA, every team in the playoffs in the West is a good team. It's all about matchups. The Thunder are a terrible matchup for the Spurs, and likewise, the Grizzlies are a terrible matchup for the Thunder.

Miami is a bad matchup for everyone except the Spurs.

bs. there was "play hard" followed by "play harder". also pulled out "it's about energy" in the fourth.

It only got stagnant 'cause they started holding to the ball for 24 seconds instead of running plays.

Maybe some fresh, new frames for Game 4 tbh.
