When the Memphis Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder square off, Memphis power forward Zach Randolph and Thunder center Kendrick Perkins tend to see a lot of one another, and for two of the NBA's reputed stone-cold, hard-bitten, low-post bangers, that kind of familiarity can breed contempt. Back in May 2011, after Z-Bo had roasted Perk in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinals playoff series, Perkins refused to agree with teammate Kevin Durant's assessment that Randolph was the best power forward in the league, while Randolph told FoxSports.com's Chris Tomasson that Perkins is "too slow" to guard him and that "all Perk can do is foul me."

To me, it's likely both guys will be fined. Nothing more than that.
It's good to see that the Grizz whether it's Zbo or not will show their opponents that they will not take any mess whatsoever.
Respect to that.
