    Durant finishing it out.

    This going 7, Grizz can still win this...this is anyone's series right now. Best pre-final series since the recent Bulls/Celtics one.

    Memphis is a very physical team. When they are tired, they are done. Without a doubt, OKC is more talented.

    Can we all agree that the loss comes due to shanes passive defense ?

    kevin martin has made some ridiculous shots too you know. a taller KMART means a better kmart. kevin martin is already pretty damn good, KD is much better b/c of his length.

    Durant with the dagger... for all purposes ending an amazing performance by both teams.

    Say what you will about the flaws of Durant and Westbrook, but both have made huge plays during the course of the game.

    Tremendous effort by both teams, unfortunately its tough to ask z-bo and gasol two big frontline players to have the energy to close out a 3 ot game.

    Well, I don't think Dallas should underestimate either OKC or Memphis. Both of these teams are showing more guts and fight in one game than the Lakers did during the entire series. Dallas shouldn't be scared of any team, but they should definitely respect these two.

    Randolph lost the game for Memphis.

    Also, it was pretty stupid by the coach to send in OJ Mayo to commit that quick foul in the 1st OT, as he fouled out by doing that. Should have sent Vasquez.

    Gotta give credit to Harden, he made some big defensive plays.

    Well Memphis had a terrible loss against the Spurs and bounced back.

    I think Memphis will be fine.

    KD is a better isolation player than K-Mart.

    KD is also a better defender, rebounder etc.

    A taller Kevin Martin is a huge insult on KD on all aspects of his game besides offense.

    KD also hits a lot of big shots.

    The ONLY reason thunder win this game is because they have better conditioning, memphis ran out of gas in the 3rd over time and u can tell while durant clearly still had energy which is why he was moving twice as fast as any member of the grizzles. The thunder will lose this series.

    It went 3 OT's but Memphis blew a golden opportunity up by 18 early against OKC

    no, mayo fouling out and vasquez having to come in ended up being extremely good for the grizzlies. you can never say that mayo would have made that clutch 3 vasquez tossed up.
