Grizzlies/Thunder

How do you see this series shaking out? I am not really sure what to think. I do think the Grizzlies ca win this series, just not sure if they will.

I do expect them to lose today due to the short turn around they had between game 6 and today. Especially with the Thunder being rested

I just don't see Perkins coming in and completely slowing Randolph down. Z-BO is playing some unreal ball right now.

Once again it is going to come down to our inside game, and guard their big shooters

He wasn't there for any of the games against them. I think it causes some matchup issues. Add in the fact that the Grizzlies put so much energy and emotion into the Spurs series that maybe there is not much left in the tank. The Grizzlies did beat them 3 out of 4 but they were all very close games. All less than five points I think.

I do think that if we can steal one in OKC, we win the series.

It doesn't appear to be a good matchup at all. The aging Spurs looked like they were playing in steel-toed boots which was a perfect recipe for the upset.<div>

Add in that Tony Allen averaged 18.8 a game against OKC. Will he keep that up? And if it not, who steps up?

Z-Bo, to be totally understated, has elevated his game.
