    Thunder in Game 1



    OKC will get back to being OKC in this series. We will see more fast break points from them against a bigger, slower Memphis team. Assuming Memphis doesn't shag 15 offensive rebounds which is a possibility because OKC is a terrible defensive rebounding team Despite that, OKC is smaller and faster and even without their starting PG, they should be able to get out in transition more against this Griz team than they did against a younger, smaller, quicker Rockets team.

    Also, Perkins will play a lot this series. Now, popular belief here is that Perkins sucks and is the worse player in the league. This couldn't be further from the truth. One thing that has been consistent over the last two years is that Nick Collison and Kendrick Perkins play Zbo and Gasol VERY well. If I'm not mistaking, OKC has eliminated the Griz the last two years in the playoffs by limiting production from the bigs. Westbrook being out doesn't change that much.

    OKC -3.5

    No other play for me today.

    I went back and forth between the spread and ML. What ultimately lead me to take the spread was how the Griz played against the Clippers ( ) in the first two games of that series. Griz may take a game off today and try to steal game two.

    Smoker, I used to have to hide the fact that I was ghosting and had multiple accounts but now nobody cares. I'm not even sure there's any mods left.

    SBR JOHN may be dead, guy hasn't posted in 3 or 4 months. He used to post regularly.

    SBR LU may be with him. MIA.

    Poor Shari is left to deal with the inmates.

    Smoke, I may make a video pal.

    Yes, I am mistaken. Thank you. Can't believe I forgot the Griz lost last year in the first round to the Clippers.

    Thank you bjb, but I certainly don't need a reminder of how big Westbrook has been against the Griz, that's been factored in.

    Memphis is keeping OKC in the game by shooting and missing threes. Weird strategy.

    Nah, Durant trying to do more than score. He did it in the last game against Houston. I think he's trying to be like Kobe and not exert much energy the 1H and then try to take over later in the game.

    I'm surprised OKC hasn't been able to score more in transition, especially with the amount of shots Memphis missed.

    Should be a good second half.

    Expect to see more of Durant, especially in the 4Q.

    A lot of time left.

    One thing I was dead wrong about is OKC getting out in transition. They are not going to be pushing the tempo which amazes me. They're content to play half court basketball against a team that thrives on half court basketball.

    People will now realize KD was that good cuz Westbrook took so much pressure off him. Kd is just Harrison Barnes without Russ
