Playoff Matchup Round 2: Thunder (4) Vs. Grizzlies (8)

If Memphis knocks out the Thunder as well, I will hate this team. What really isn't helping.

I didn't have time to watch this game, but I still don't understand why Randolph doesn't get double teamed more. Aside from Battier, and sort of Conley, they don't have a single player who I'm remotely scared of shooting the 3.

Right now, I no longer see a way in which the Heat don't win it all this year. And it depresses me to the point that I might not even watch the rest of these playoffs.

 

#winning

 

just checked the result.

Gee, i thought Grizzles were great, much deserving a playoff spot than us but not this good..

it seems they have become a serious contender all of a sudden. I wont be surprised if they knock out the Thunders and go on to the West conference final.

 

Two words: Shane Battier.

The Grizzly will beat the Thunders.

Book it!

 

good for Battier. He deserves this.

 

Do you read dailythunder.com?

The posters there use "Hero Mode" when referring to Westbrook a lot. Is that where you learned that nickname?

 

The only thing i hate about the Grizz is that they are going to give the lakers a free pass to the finals.
Have they not tank to get the Spurs they would have lost to the Lakers, which is the only team with a better frountcourt than them.

Spurs and OKC can give trouble to the Lakers, but memphis cant, still they matchup very well against both OKC and Spurs.

Both Lakers and Dallas would eliminate Memphis easily.

 

Grizzlies need is good leader to carry the team. Shane battier's playoff exp and defense make a good playoff run.

 

The lakers haven't beaten dallas yet. And I wouldn't be so quick to write the grizzlies off.

If it does happen it will be interesting to see how Marc and pau play each other.

Also, the lakers don't use their bigs like the grizzlies do.

 

i also wouldn't be so quick to write the thunder off either

 

Yeah but the Grizzlies don't have Kobe Bryant now do they? The Grizzlies have always given the Lakers trouble anyways regardless.

I'm always rooting for the Underdog unless it's against my Rockets so I'm pulling for Memphis to make the conference finals.

 

I wasn't.

 

Yes. I also read newsok and a couple of other places. I believe they all use the term "hero mode" to describe Westbrook at his worst.

 

Lakers say hi?

 

I honestly do not think the Thunder were ready to play yesterday. I think having too many days off hurt them more than helped. I bet the next game the Thunder are going to change the defensive scheme and pound on the grizzles. Now that they realize the grizzles are for real. Also playing at home I guess gave the Thunder an advantage they thought they had. Also westbrook needs to learn to finish at the rim. I think soemone needs to show him some D Rose footage.

 

I wouldn't write off any team from the West.

I honestly think any one of these four teams could go to the Finals. It's just a shame that 3/4 of the teams will be eliminated before all is said and done.

 

Thunder in 6.... They needed a reality check !!!

 

Lakers can not beat the Heat.

 

I actually have a $20 bet riding on that

 

Great thing Rudy is out, defensive-minded guys like Bat, Tony, Young show how great Memphis can be defensively. Big hustle.
