The Thunder look like an inexprienced team. Outside of KD, I see a deer in the headlights look on em, right now.

Not good, obviously.

 

[KingGondo]

Too many turnovers and threes. Drive. The. Ball.

 

[Brinbe]

12-pt lead after one... Pre-conceived notions/hype disappearing and reality now setting in.

 

[Pkaz01]

Anyone feel like Battier deserves some more credit? I always thought that they got him as a steal from Houston but it seems like he really brought some leadership to this team.

The crazy thing is this series the thunder are the more experienced team. But from what we are seeing the grizzlies just won't be phased by anything. Lots of credit to Hollins also.

 

[TylerD]

They are growl towels not flags Dick. SMH Nazr has been garbage in the playoffs.

 

[Derwind]

Fuck I have such a big hardon for a Mavs - Grizz conference final!!!

Make it happen Stern!!!!

^_^

 

[BobLoblaw]

How are the Grizzlies an 8th seed.

Lol! Why do people keep asking this? It was a ruse. The whole city was in on it.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Harden is like the only guy on the Thunder who can create a shot right now, run more plays for him.

Wasn't he on the teams that got swept with Pau? He couldn't have learned skills like leadership and having a winning attitude during his time with the Rockets.

 

[Sanjuro]

For what it's worth, I didn't have an opinion (good or bad) about you winning or losing Game 4.

You're a Mavs fan now!?

 

[Zep]

Whatever happened to the Thunder in 5 people? LOL stupid.

But Memphis does have some experience. Gasol has big time Olympic, Euro, and Spanish league experience, Zbo has been around the block, and Battier as you point out. Conley made a Final Four, so that can't hurt. And Tony Allen obviously has experience. The Thunder are just a 1st round team, experience wise, minus Perkins and Collison (also a Final Four).

I think not having expectations has helped Memphis immensely, too.

 

[KingGondo]

This sucks. We had them, and we let them off the hook!

Grizzlies/Mavs is going to be a crazy series.

I don't see either team being able to guard the other team's star PF.

Battier > Gay.

I don't think Houston at this stage needs him. Battier is a guy you want if you plan on making a playoff run.

Both Dirk and Randolph are underrated defenders.

 

[Adam Blade]

LOL BLUNDER

Defend your Blunder now, PeonessGondo.

 

[EvilMario]

The look of a coach that can't get his point guard to run the plays he draws up.

 

[Brinbe]

This has the makings of a Lakers-Mavs style blowout

 

[TylerD]

This sucks. We had them, and we let them off the hook!

/dennygreen

That 4th was such an epic disaster. It was painful.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

Battier > Gay.

Pretty much. Houston had no need for him because they're gonna start from scratch now.

 

[KingGondo]

LOL BLUNDER

Defend your Blunder now, PeonessGondo.

Nothing to defend at the moment.

 

[StickSoldier]

OKC just needs to get some fucking points.. Their offense is just so stagnant .

 

[Ripclawe]

There are times in that second half that Lebron shot selection wished that Bynum was on the floor to give him an elbow.

 

[EvilMario]

Pretty much. Houston had no need for him because they're gonna start from scratch now.

Player / Coach.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

You're a Mavs fan now!?

Everyone here that really knows me knows that I'm a Cavs fan.

A dIEHARD one too.

 

[Pkaz01]

Pretty much. Houston had no need for him because they're gonna start from scratch now.

But they couldn't get a better offer from any other team? Seems strange. Maybe no one wanted him or something.

Oh and on the subject what do houston fans think is going to happen to scola?

 

[Future PhaZe]

Would love to see Battier get a ring...really nice to see him competing for something again.

 

[Adam Blade]

Nothing to defend at the moment.

Darn it, I hate it when you're reasonable in your replies to my baiting.

 

[The M.O.B]

Grizz Vs Mavs will be Game 7 material.

 

[Jamesfrom818]

OKC just needs to get some fucking points.. Their offense is just so stagnant .

If the Thunder can score more points than the Grizzlies, they stand a good chance at winning.

 

[Brinbe]

Lotta bricks

 

[ph33nix]

LOL Boston hasn't been a great team for like 30 games.

Let me be scared will you?

 

[Blackface]

Whatever happened to the Thunder in 5 people? LOL stupid.

And Lakers in 4, and Celtics in 6, and Bulls in 4.

NBAGAF never change.

 

[TylerD]

FFFFUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKK

 

[Black Mamba]

OKC is so rattled. It's different trying to win with expectations than being the fun young guys. They're losing this game mentally, right now.

If only they got the Spurs, lol.

 

[dream]

Looks like I need a new backup team.

 

[EvilMario]

FThunder shooting 28.6%, only four players have scored, and no one over 5 points.

Looks like I need a new backup team.

Grizzlies are the default.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Looks like I need a new backup team.

You should go my route, man.

 

[TylerD]

Grizzlies are the default.

+1

 

[BobLoblaw]

I don't know why, but I lol'ed.

 

[KidA Seven]

SMH heat fans, you let this heat fan try and smang the T Mobile chick.

Maybe they feel bad for stealing Battier from the Grizzlies? So they give them back an older Battier on a bargain.

In fact, the Grizzlies should do the same and return Marc Gasol to the Lakers.

Looks like I need a new backup team.

Root for all 30 teams. You'll win a championship every year.

Alternatively, be like thekad and troll everyone.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

damn bruh

 

[Jamesfrom818]

You should go my route, man.

But the Cavs aren't in the playoffs

 

[Sanjuro]

Can I choose a WNBA team?

 

[Pkaz01]

So Thunder fans how much do you blame Brooks for this? Hollins seems to be out coaching him this series, big time. His players are coming to play on both ends but the thunder are not even motivated or confident even though they are the favorites. He also hasn't done anything to try and get durant going (at least that i've seen anyway I can't see whats going on in the huddles but whatever it is its not working). I don't know maybe he can't do anything to get their shots to fall but again whatever his gameplan was its not working.

 

[KingGondo]

I really didn't think this would happen. Things were looking SO GOOD after the third quarter of game 3.

It's hard enough to watch the score updates on Scorecenter, it must be hideos live.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

You avatar needs a caption of

"Bynum did WHAT?"

 

[dream]

Grizzlies are the default.

I know, but it seems too easy to jump on their bandwagon after they effortlessly beat the Spurs and are on the verge of occupying a permanent spot in KD's nightmares.

You should go my route, man.

I think this makes more sense. Time to just become a fan of basketball until October
