Time to put this series behind them. They can't allow the OKC crowd to pump the Thunder into thinking they can beat the Grizz. The tempo must be in the Grizz's favor. Box out for rebounds, avoid unnecessary TOs' and silly fouls and make the Thunder earn their shots from the perimeter. If the Grizz can continue these things, we move on to the next round.

i think the series is over. i wrote a blog post on my blog about the series. focuses on gasol, durant, the gay trade, what each team should do to get better, etc.

anyways, i'm pulling for the grizzlies. i have them going to the finals this year. as a recent vandy alum, i've grown fond of the grizzlies.

We've lost the Rebound count in the last two games and still won (albeit, only just). If we can take that category back (which we really should) then we should win this one comfortably.

Grizzs can take 20 more boards but if you have 18 TO and 40%FG you loose the game.

To win this game we just need to score at least one point more than OKC. Wise words.

Roster has 15 spots . Durante don't have to take all their shots. They have no chemistry. As much as I hate Miami they were a better team than thundercats
