    Memphis about to wreck OKC's championship hopes and chances of retaining Durant. That dude has gotta be thinking about leaving OKC soon with the way things have been going lately.

    Did someone steal Durant's basketball abilities again?

    Marketing for Thunderstruck part 2? Durant is a genius.

    Yeah, brilliant idea to piss off the guy becoming an Unrestricted FA in a couple years...

    365 games worth of playoff experience between Prince, Allen, and MM and 128 between the Z-Bo, Marc, and Conley trio. Their focus & defensive grit are remarkable.

    This might be the best 7-seed in history.

    memphis is going to win tonight in a grind. their ball of style is pretty much OKC kryponite. OKC is best on the run and in transition but Memphis take that away from them. All they are left with is contested jumpers since Brooks is a horrible coach.

    Durant is averaging 28/10 for the playoffs. He had one off game where he scored 15 points, but the Thunder won that game.

    If Durant has to be better than this then the problem lies elsewhere.

    Mr. Unreliable. Really?

    The longer this goes, the better for Memphis.

    OKC is the knock out artist... they punch hard as heck and but need to knock out other teams before they punch themselves out.
    Memphis is the body puncher that keeps slugging you in the bread basket that round by round takes out your legs until you can't stand.

    Going into game 5, I thought that OKC needed to be up 3-2 or they would lose the series. I think Memphis is now favored. Too many games, too many Overtimes, and too much physical abuse.

    It's not a coincidence that NOBODY wanted to play Memphis in the first round.

    have you even watched the games? Harden got 37 pts on 35 shots.

    He has been bad shooting % wise

    He is shooting 40% his TS is 50%. He is getting his points because he is playing a lot and jacking up a lot of shots. Tony Allen is balling.

    After the "insult" in the OKC paper, KD will either "press" and play poorly or zone in and drop 75. Adds drama to the game.

    No way OKC loses tonight, if they do, they never had a chance to win a ring to begin with.
