Official Oklahoma City Thunder VS Memphis Grizzlies Series Thread: OKC Wins

Honestly, just like Kidd in the LA series, you know players with a rep for being good defenders are allowed to get away with more. Allen and Battier know how to do just enough for it not to be a foul + they get the benefit of the doubt if its close. I think Perkins would normally get that same benefit but Z-Bo really forces the refs to make a call. He makes the game incredibly physical.
On another note, the Grizz really need to get their legs back. Zbo couldn't make lay ups. Thunder were packing the paint and Grizz couldn't do anything about it. They responded pretty well after the Thunder shut them down in game 2. I think the Grizz can win the next game. Randolph's had 2 shaky games in a row and I think he'll bounce back. OJ needs to have a big game because besides him and Conley (sorta), the Grizzlies' perimeter shooting is

Revenge is a dish best served cold and I hope the Grizzlies cool response means they are planning a little revenge on Friday night. For anybody who saw how OKC was acting late in the 4th quarter, you know what I'm talking about.
