Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Memphis Grizzlies 01/08/2011

Post #1 » by **slick_watts** » Sat Jan 8, 2011 8:36 pm

Memphis played last night against Utah and won at home.

We match up bad with Memphis, especially when Green is playing major minutes. Green seemed more aggressive against Dallas getting to the rim and post (still inefficient offensively, though). Will he continue this against Randolph? Remains to be seen.

Need to protect home court during this tough stretch, we caught a break against an injured Dallas team.

Green vs Above-Average-PF is lost matchup, every game.

We depend on Westbrook's game, every game.

Last game at Memphis we lost not only because Green had 40 minutes, but Westbrook had a terrible night.

I'm hoping for some good defense tonight, and good effort.

durant is so awesome.

how do you guys handle how awesome he is?

if i could describe him in 2 words, it's probably really awesome.

Our half court offense is pretty bad.

Nice end to the quarter.

Randolph: 4-7 FG, 2 ORebounds 1 steal.

Ibaka is such a talent.

our defense is improving

But our offense...

Durant 0-4 3pt before halftime.

Keeping Jeff Green at PF against Memphis just kills the Thunder.

He is simply the worst +/- at Thunder's side.

randolph with 18/13 in 24 minutes

you can preach defense all you like brooks but it isn't gonna happen when the lineups you put out there

I dunno if you're watching the game, but Jeff Green sort of disappears whenever Randolph gets into a scrum for a rebound.

Green's been more aggressive bodying him up and at least trying in most spots but man he just doesn't have the size.

yeah I am

i can see him trying to defend randolph and he's pushed him into some longer hooks but way too often randolph is getting deep in the paint and just collecting boards and easy lay ins

Why? Tell me Why? Why? Jeff Why?

Post #16 » by **slick_watts** » Sun Jan 9, 2011 3:09 am

Ibaka goes out, Durant in at SF, Green to PF. First play? Randolph tip in.

I don't understand.

Post #17 » by **slick_watts** » Sun Jan 9, 2011 3:16 am

Now Brooks goes to the big lineup that lost the game against Memphis last time out.

What a complete dolt. Just take Green OUT OF THE GAME.

Not appropriate at all. C'mon...

Thank you KD for saving us from Brooks' Green fetish.

Good win. Needed it. KD is very good, with Harden would play more and Green less though. Oh well.
