Heck yes!

What's the deal with the long wait between games 2 and 3?

Has to be controlled by TV schedules, I'm sure. And that schedule provides more Fri/Sat/Sun games.

Go Grizz....lock down KD and we have a really good chance...beat them 3-1 already this year....this could be a special playoffs!

True, but the 3-1 record vs. Thunder was prior to the Perkins trade. He brings a much more physical presence in the paint. To win this series, we'll have to play with same defensive intensity that we did against the Spurs. It's going to be fun to watch.

Grizz by 5.

Were the games played before Rudy went out?

Not all of them. The last two were without rudy. We won both games. One win was on the road 105-101 in OT. The 2nd game was in memphis and grizz won 107-101. They picked up kendrick perkins and nate robinson from boston since then.

This is going to be a tougher series to win, imo. Thunder have talent, they have better matchups against us, and they have youth. Youth was a big advantage for the grizz in the last series.

I agree. Defensively, we have to get physical with Durant, making him work for everything he gets, and frustrate them by playing the same tough, rugged defense we played against the Spurs. Offensively, I think we have to continue to pound it inside, trying to tire out Perkins or get him into foul trouble. Its going to be a tougher series, no doubt, but I really think we can beat them.

We were the last team to come out of the first round and the first team playing in the second round. Game 1 will be tough. I think we'll compete well but lose in six games. I also think OKC has what it takes to make it to the NBA Finals.

First EVER NATIONAL NETWORK BROADCAST for the Grizzlies, and ABC can't even show it in HD. Pathetic.

You can bet the Celtics/Heat game will be in glorious HD.

EDIT: Come to think of it, it might be because of that flood warning banner scrolling at the bottom...

Been looking over the thunder's record and schedule for the season. They had an impressive run late on wins. They got some talent on that roster. Like the spurs, they also have a good road record.

If espn is correct on salaries, nick collision makes more than durant and perkins combined. Wow.

Looks like we got the best chance if we keep their scoring right at or just under 100 points and durant shoots like 6 for 23 from the floor. Would be nice if he doesn't go to the foul line like 12-15 times in each game, but i'm pretty sure he will.

BTW, my broadcast is in HD.

It's in HD now
