I'm not even going to watch those G7's.

Just check the score, no expectations whatsoever..

This game goes to show how the Grizz are a good team but in no way contenders for anything and should have been defeated rather easily by the Thunder IF Durant had played reasonably well per his standards or if Westbrook played well per his standards. The Grizz don 't have enough offense to win if they're not going to do own the boards and the Grizz are the ones who have been dominated on the boards by OKC. So, the cries of how great the Grizz are have been blown out of proportion.

Durant didn't really have a great offensive game outside of the first quarter when Allen was inexplicably on the bench and would up finishing 4-11 with three of those baskets in garbage time when the game was out of reach.

Hawks are done
Grizzlies are done
And I still think BKN is gonna beat the raps

Only chance the Grizzlies have is if Tony Allen starts and Prince doesnt see the floor

Hawks are done.

Grizz don't have much chance if they're not going to even control the boards and get extra shot attempts bra cause otherwise, that offense is just anemic.

Also, expect 60+ FTs like the Suns got against the Sonics in game 7 in 1993 even with a slower pace :lol:

If DeAndre Jordan keeps playing like this then no doubt in my mind Clips beat OKC in 6

If KD gets 15 ft again and theyre giving him that flaily **** like tonight Memphis will get blown out. I think the Thunder have finally figured the Grizzlies out. All they do is post up Marc and ZBO and have them force shots. They try to back Perk and Ibaka down but those 2 arent giving an inch. I dont even want to watch game 7 if their offense is going to be like that its just hard to watch.

The key is Blake Griffin. He has to play like a superstar and go at Ibaka. If he can be the best/second best player in the series, Clips can win.

You know what's the worst thing about all those douchebag series going to game 7s?

Heat don't get to play on Sunday when we can just relax and enjoy the game. :(

If OKC gets past Memphis, pretty sure we see them in the Finals. Allen/Johnson is pretty much the perfect defensive combo you could have to put on Durant. He'll play a lot better from here on out.

Can't believe Joerger has been letting Johnson rot on the bench while Prince is embarrassing himself out there.

I hate how giddy Indiana's bench (ESPECIALLY Hibbert and Paul George) got when they won in Atlanta tonight.

They deserve to be sent fishing in game 7, but if anyone can screw that up and let them continue to show boat and act cocky-- it is Atlanta lmao.

I do not think the refs will let KD lose a game 7 in OKC. Memphis needs to pull Prince from starting if they want a chance.

Watch Brooks get zero credit for the lineup change.
