    IMO Heat is not garanteed to have playoff spot in west, but I agree they would not be able to come out west easily.

    Rockets win tonight and the pressure is back on Portland.


    Crazy that with one win they will be in same position as the Thunder.

    The Heat simply play to their competition and it takes quite a bit for them to get motivated. If they were in the West they would be more motiviated and turn it on when necessary.

    By the way Memphis is giving OKC fits right now but I still don't think OKC should worry. They will still win the series. Durant was OFF last night and the game still went to OT in memphis. If Durant even had a decent game OKC would win, if he had a typical Durant game then OKC would have destroyed them.

    I still see OKC in 7, maybe even 6. Would not be surprised if they win the next 3 fairly easily.

    They won't win any of their games easily against this team with Gasol and Z-bo for the Grizz. If they win, they're going to be very hard-fought wins, which may hurt them in next round due to fatigue (if they get there).

    Exactly. It seems totally 'random' when they call a foul late though. If that was Harden, Lin or Chandler, no way they call it.

    Memphis also went full r****d after being up 17 in the 4th. Mike Miller airballed an open 3. o_O

    They were up 17 to begin with due to how cold Durant was. Durant was something like 0-8 from 3. I don't see that happening again.

    Dude, you're way way overcompensating. You abandoned your team when the going got rough. No matter how many of these posts you make, you'll always be a fake fan and you'll never be able to fully enjoy the Grizzlies success. That's the curse of the fake fan.

    I was there for every game in 2011, I was a season ticket holder so I got my seats reserved. That's why I could give a rip about some internet pimple-faced 17 year old saying you are a bandwagoner. I've been watching basketball since before they were born, most of them, hell I've been a member of this board since most of them were born. This board was around before 1999, which most of them don't know about the history of this board.

    So if Memphis wins today, anyone still thinking OKC wins this series?

    I think the most interesting thing is how the Grizzlies bench is completely destroying the Thunder. It just seems like Westbrook and Durant aren't letting anyone get in the flow.

    Yes they are! I checked ESPN and TV Guide and it is on ESPN. Pumped! I want OKC to lose so bad.

    Durant has an Aldridge-esque game today
