  1. Young was drifting on that shot. He needs to jump straight up and keep his body balanced. There wasn't a defender near him.
  2. The Grizz still have a long way to go tonight. They've had trouble scoring against the Thunder bench.
  3. Memphis' trapping, hedging, and flash doubling has been strong this quarter. Terrific defense by Memphis' bigs.
  4. Nick Collison says [expletive] Your Poster Darrell Arthur!
  5. Gasol has knocked so many balls away accidentally in this series, it's crazy. He rotates on time and sticks his hands straight up, and the Thunder just keep bringing the ball into his hands.
  6. By showing on Durant's screen, there's an open lane for the screener to slip to the room and not be boxed out.That's how the Thunder bigs are getting these dunks and layups.
  7. What fookwork by Randolph! Shades of Olajuwon with the step through!
  8. I like putting Gasol's man to show the screen leaving Randolph at the basket if I'm the Thunder. When Westbrook get's the hoop, Randolph is less able to provide effective help.
  9. The team that has controlled the paint when Memphis has had the ball has won the game in this series. Right now Memphis' frontcourt is winning the battle against Oklahoma's frontcourt. The Thunder are just treading water until Collison comes in. His defense has been exceptional this series, and he's been able to contain Randolph in the post and on the boards better than Ibaka.
  10. Great hustle by Allen to break up that layup---better pass by Westbrook, almost created a layup out of nothing. He tossed that pass almost behind his head it looked like.
  11. Great, great pass by Harden, great cut by Westbrook. Great way to use Westbrook as a finisher and not just using him as a ball-handler.
  12. With the way Mayo plays defense and spaces the floor, next season, it might be in Memphis' best interest to play Mayo as a starter and bring Gay off the bench as instant offense. He's a better defender than he's ever been given credit for.
  13. Obvious carry. That's why Allen hasn't received a bigger role in the league despite his defense. He's a very poor decision maker.
  14. Bummed I missed the first half of this game. One thing the Grizz have been doing all playoffs long, they've been terrific at poking away loose dribbles and turning them into steals. They aren't the greatest team at staying in front of their man, but they have some of the fastest collective hands in basketball.
  15. I think it looks pretty freakin sick. Much better than McTribal tattoos or any other masculine version of a tramp-stamp. There's some art with this bad boy.
  16. Good resiliency to outlast the Grizz and finally overwhelm them with their talent.
  17. Durant's a bit more comfortable when squaring up Battier than against Allen. Some big shots here in OT to sink the Grizzlies.
  18. Smart play by Allen to not swipe with his arm on the Perkins run out. Keeps himself in the game, which is valuable with Memphis' backcourt fouled out. One advantage Ibaka should have? He's probably very fresh.
  19. I think he has two missed game winners so are you assuming the game will go about 40 overtimes?
  20. But they did go to Randolph. Randolph hasn't had a productive pair of OT sessions. When the Grizzlies haven't been down by 7, they have ridden Randolph.
  21. This is one of the best games I've ever seen. Well played and entertaining.
  22. I like the idea of switching Allen on to Westbrook, but he and Harden have made big shots this OT session.
