[Western Conference Semi-Finals] Oklahoma City vs Memphis

Memphis has not been as impressive as I expected. If regular season Ibaka showed up, Thunder would be up 3-0.

When WB went down, I consoled myself with SA or Memphis being able to challenge Miami in the finals. But, that isn't going to happen, so now I'm sad about the WB injury again.

 

he got hit on the arm on the runner before no call. Gasol's free throws that gave them the lead wasn't a foul on Ibaka it was closer to being an offensive foul on Gasol.

 

Okc is looking Shaaaaaaky Baaaaaaby.....

 

Missed the majority of the game, but managed to catch just as Durant choked on two freethrows. Feels good man.

Where's Mr. "Thunder in 5" at?

 

get off twitter and practice RW

 

I predicted Thunder in 5. Memphis ain't that good but Ibaka is really sucking. Still got Thunder in 7, after they win the next 2 and lose game 6.

 

#ok :/ ..... Ugh, I don't Wanna

 

The same way the block/charge was 50/50

 

Scotty Brooks putting Thabo on Conley and Serge on Zach nearly won them the game. Usually when Conley AND Zach struggles we got on chance, but the grizzlies played GREAT defense down the stretch to pull that game out.

 

Understood, but take solace in how KD has stepped up with the extra burden and the spectacular growth of RJ. I predicted big things for RJ when he was drafted and it's taken this long to happen.

Enjoy the next 2 games and look forward to next year. I don't know if you are a Rockets fan, but since they lost, my interest in the playoffs has waned severely. I care about the Thunder, but not so much right now.

 

The next game is likely the series. I predicted the Grizz in six, still feel that way. Why Brooks is playing Fisher so much is beyond me. Conley was really shaky this afternoon. If Randoph, Gasol, and Conley all have good games at the same time they will finish the Thunder and move on.

 

I thought this was a bad Memphis game outside of Marc Gasol and they still managed to win.

 

Marc Gasol is showin he is on Durant's level and not some Gay Kid that is not there any longer

 

Yeah, excited for Reggie. He's shown flashes the last 2 seasons, but has had a shorter chain than even Harden in his rookie year.

Still a Rockets fan, hence the not minding the now obviously lopsided Harden trade.

 

Yah you won't be laughing like that when Durant goes off for 50+

It could easily happen

 

Be awesome to see the grizz go all the way.

 

I know this may sound far-fetched, but after seeing Reggie Jackson play this series as a starter, and knowing he has pretty good potential, am i crazy to think that the Thunder should have traded Westbrook instead of Harden? And then waived Perkins and sign solid bench players.

Jackson
Harden
Durant
Collison
Ibaka

 

KD is special. I put him there neck and neck with Lebron. I did not before (he was a clear 2nd to Lebron), but what he's been doing since after WB went out show me his BB talent and smarts.

And #3 is so far below both of these players.
