Sounds like you're describing Tony Parker. With a jumper!

How would Memphis be doing with Maynor instead of Udrih?

Man, refs swallowed their whistles... Randolph got mugged

Wow, KD not even touching the ball on a possession in the final minute.

Tony Allen!

Yeah, he's improved a lot. Could Lionel Hollins do the same thing with Wall?

And that's why you give Durant the ball, Westbrook!

Yes... IMO, actually better

Too many missed FTs by Conley sent this game to OT

Post #1113 » by **LyricalRico** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 2:44 am

Wow, Perkins bails OKC out after a horrible shot by Westbrook.

tontoz · Post #1114 » by **tontoz** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 2:45 am

Wow. Of all the people to send it to OT. :lol:

tontoz · Post #1115 » by **tontoz** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 3:01 am

Conley's missed foul shots and to's might cost memphis the game.

I guess I look at it more like, Conley's passing, ball-handling, and defense on Westbrook really helped Memphis win this one.

Major props to Memphis. Amazing game.

I predicted MEM to win tonight. The problems OKC saw in Game 1 were on display this whole game. Allen does a great job on KD before the catch. Prince did a decent job earlier too. Lee was fantastic as was Zbo.

They nearly choked but they are experienced and gritted and grinded to the W.

OKC is in trouble IMO. The Grizz have been dominant at the GrindHouse lately.

I do think OKC will win this series. Memphis is shorthanded and some of their key players are already starting to look a little worn down.

I just don't think they have enough gas to win four games.

How are they short handed? Calathes' production was replaced by Udrih.

The Thunder look just as worn out, they used energy just to get over the hump but neither team executed all that well... MEM was just a little better overall.
