The Thunder have lost five of their last six at Memphis, with the three-OT game the lone victory.
Keep the turnovers down, pound it inside and let Rudy and co work off of Zbo/Marc. This should be a good game, but definitely see Memphis coming out on top. This is OKC's 3rd game in 4 nights.
Also, TA needs to play under control. He tweeted me after the game saying he got me.

Brian Skinner's stint with the Grizzlies is over.
The team waived the journeyman center today, cutting its roster to 14 players. Skinner appeared in just one regular-season game for the Grizzlies. He logged four minutes Monday night at San Antonio in the season opener.
Skinner didn't play in the Grizzlies' home-opening loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder Wednesday night in FedExForum. No, the Griz aren't planning to re-acquire center Hasheem Thabeet, whom they traded to the Houston Rockets last season.
Releasing Skinner is likely a precursor to the Griz bringing back reserve center Hamed Haddadi. A source with knowledge of the situation told The Commercial Appeal that Haddadi is scheduled to arrive in Memphis with a tourism visa today or tomorrow.
The 7-foot Iranian has been in Dubai trying to obtain a work visa. But that already tedious effort stalled when the Griz withdrew their $2 million qualifying offer from Haddadi.
So here's the strategy: Haddadi returns to Memphis and signs a one-year deal that will pay him between $1 and $1.5 million this season. Once employed, the hope is that Haddadi will be granted a work visa by traveling to Canada for an interview with the U.S. Embassy a la the Marc Gasol experience.
TIP-IN: Starting point guard Mike Conley was still in a walking boot today to treat his left ankle sprain. The team is officially listing Conley's status as day-to-day but he's sure to miss the next two games at least.
@HamedHaddadi15 What's up Memphis ... U miss me? I'm back
