Because it feels like atm Memphis have the momentum and are favorites to take out this series.

Stop chucking the 3s. And for the love of criminy, sub out Perk once in a while down the stretch.

Offensively we have to do a better job of moving the ball around in the half court and working the Grizz defense. We need to stop chucking 3's, it only seems to happen when we get frustrated though and our offense becomes stagnant. We need to limit Perkins and Thabo's minutes.

I would love us to try out a small lineup something along the lines of

Westbrook/Reggie/PJ3 or Caron/KD/Ibaka

which could work very well against this Grizzlies team and possibly force them to take either Randolph or Gasol out of the game depending how effective it could be. Also how offense wouldn't become as stagnant with more offensive weapons on the court.

We also have to play smarter defense, Grizz are setting up their offense to easily in the halfcourt, we need to change up our D and start forcing some tunrovers and get out in the open court and we won't be forcing as many tough shots.

Will Brooks do any of this? Absolutely not.

Maaaan, you gotta slow down bro. In no way would I consider them strong suiters to knock us off now..

We need to pick the pace of the game back up and get our stars in the open court.

We need to set more screens on Allen and wear him down, and we need to give them less second chance points.

KD and Russ will always get theres. We have a lot easier plan scheming to shut down there two big post men and Beno Udrih then they do trying to grind out another 3 wins by the skin of there teeth.

Less Perkins, more reggie Jackson maybe give pj3 a shot and go small with a Jones, ibaka, and kd front line

Glad to see Caron's getting his minutes too.

For game 4, have Durant bring the ball up and run pnr with Ibaka. Either that or have Perkins sit on Tony Allen when on offense.

Just a thought from an outsider. The first adjustment should be not letting Westbrook touch the ball. If I was an okc fan, I would be so sick of this guy making boneheaded mistakes. I have watched the whole okc series so far and Westbrook is the main reason you guys are in a whole right now. You guys were were scary good during the season when Westbrook was hurt. Durant was the unquestioned MVP. I just don't think Durant and Westbrook work well together. Durant is the best player in the league and if Westbrook would stop being delusional about him being the best okc would be going on their second or third championship.

Point is Westbrook should not shot more than 15-18 shots a game.

No word on Sefolosha's wuss defense? This guy is being flat ouy awful the whole season. Why he and Fisher are earning minutes this season over Lamb and Jones is beyond me.

Jackson and Westbrook are pretty redundant on court.
