I'm still glad that my prediction of Perkins' playing time is more reliable in an OKC W/L even if the series doesn't go up to 7 games.

The Grizzlies may well end up advancing, but 2-1's a little early to be calling it a series.

Talk about a ballhog and an egotistical maniac player. Westbrook, again trying to be the Batman of OKC. They will never win a title with that kind of point guard IMO.

That will happen everytime when you have a player with low basketball IQ.

Poor Kendrick.

I think that's Serge Ibaka wide open under the basket, not Kendrick Perkins. If he only passed that ball that would be an easy dunk.

At second glance, you're right. That's Perkins with the pick out on the perimeter. In that case...

Likely to be knocked out -> Thunder and Pacers
Unlikely to be knocked out -> Bulls and Spurs

I remember that game, it was really a heartbreaking loss. Well, yeah, maybe Westbrook really had a point not to pass the ball.

So far Mike Conley's controlling the tempo and has been the better PG in this series, OKC is settling for jumpers way too much and again not much help from the bench (you can argue that's maybe because of the ball distribution, shot selection from the main guys, imo as they played their best when Westbrook was down). This is why Westbrook is not a PG. If OKC can win game 4 I can see them winning the series as they are much explosive, younger and more talented team.

Westbrook wasn't really a point guard, he used to be a shooting guard (or combo guard if you prefer) in UCLA

OKC isn't better without Westbrook. The very same Thunder lost helplessly against very same Grizzlies in the second round last season because Westbrook was injured.

OKC win in OT(how many of those btw?). At this stage, I think that this and the GSW-LAC are the two series' that will most likely go down to 7.

We could be seeing quite a few first round series go the distance. No complaints here, it's made this year's postseason a lot of fun.

Huge game from Reggie Jackson, though that Hail Mary three at the end of regulation was an embarrassing blunder given the amount of time that was left.

I thought he was about to pass it to Durant. Anyways, he could've at least dribbled the ball a bit and maybe get a good shot.

I was also surprised when he hoisted the shot instead of passing it to Durant, but he mustn't have had a good enough look at the clock.
