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.
