Oklahoma City Arena





The Lowdown:

Friday night showed the NBA their is a glimmer of hope after being deal a blow of humiliation in Game 5. Game 6 showed the Grizzlies jumping off to a quick start on the Thunder, but quickly saw their lead shink to where they would be down as much as 13pts in the first half. After a Shane Battier 3ball got them down to 10pts @ halftime. The Grizz had to regroup from their mistakes and fight back to avoid being eliminated from the playoffs. Led by Zbo and company, the Grizz managed to get some runs going against the Thunder in the second half while limiting Kevin Durant to a playoff career low 11pts. Something the Grizzlies need to keep in mind as they head for the final game of the series.

If the Grizz want their playoff race to continue, they need to do the following.

1. Limit the Thunder offense to the perimeter. Keep them from slashing to the hole.
2. Grizzlies must win the battle of the boards.
3. Slash to the lanes causing havoc to the Thunder's interior post.
4. Don't allow the tempo of the game be dictated by the Thunder. Make them play to the Grizzlies tempo.
5. BELIEVE MEMPHIS!!!

Today's game is about who has heart and determine to win. It's our time.

So pumped. Go Grizz!

Memphis is Indiana in 2 years. For that sake, I hope you guys make it to the WCF.

I have a hunch that Mike plays really smart and under control today.

Let the games begin.

So do we.

OJ goes 2-2 @ the FT line.

TO leads to a TA jumper.

Too quick OJ. Set it up man.

The Beast cleans up the mess.

Zbo does it smooth 2x.

TA goes 1-2.

So far, the guys are playing under control. Which is a good thing. Just don't lose the confidence and stay under control.

Damn! Collison owned that rebound.


Refs give Marc a dumb foul.

And Big Perk was lazy on that put back.

Deny the slashing lane Grizz.

WTH are they doing???????????

They missed several shots on their last possessions. They need to relax and let the game come to them.

Goaltend on Mohammed.

The Beast got one in.

Sit Vasquez. The offense lacks the direction it needs to set up the right players. Although we're down only 3pts. The offense has to find a way to get going.
