Erick Blasco Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited May 14, 2011 by Erick Blasco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 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.

Erick Blasco Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a better defender than he's ever been given credit for. I agree Mayo is a very underrated defender, he's been playing solid defense on Westbrook for the most part and forcing him to tough shots. But I'm not sure if Gay would perform coming off the bench and would be happy either. But we'll see who stays and goes in the offseason.

Erick Blasco Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) 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.

Erick Blasco Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erick Blasco Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Memphis' trapping, hedging, and flash doubling has been strong this quarter. Terrific defense by Memphis' bigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I'm afraid this series is going to be determined by HCA, sucks because I would love to see Memphis advance but we'll see if they can win tonight and take Game 7 in OKC.

ChosenOne Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Memphis has to extend this lead right now, as OKC has their starters on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Young was drifting on that shot. He needs to jump straight up and keep his body balanced. There wasn't a defender near him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
