Official Memphis Grizzlies vs Oklahoma City Thunder Playoff Thread

Perkins with another poor pass and should be turnover. And why is Durant the inbound man and why draw a play where Perkins comes to get the pass (who predictably throws the ball away)?

I mean, you make Durant the inbound man to pass to Perk when any fool knows his man will immediately leave him at the top of the key and double down on Durant.

because that's what scott brooks is supposed to do. i'd expect nothing less from him.

OKC coach is gotta be the wackest coach in the league. If you know KD is gonna get double in the last minute or two in the game, why have him bring it up when you need a quick score from him. Bring in one of your guards to bring the ball up and have KD run off a pick or two for a quick 3 or 2.

it should be 2-0 for the grizz.

he is the worst. by far. not even close

Welp, atleast Thabeet got more than 4minutes. And he held Gasol scoreless and without a board while keeping him out the paint on both ends while he played.


Thabeet +/- = +2

Perk +/- = -10

The coach is an idiot. Yea he could probably game plan, but his adjustments and decision making is dumb shit

There's no purpose for playing Perkins other than to give Thabeet some rest. I called it early in this thread.

Perkins is probably the worst big man in the nba right now. He can't defend any of the grizzlies.
he can't out battle for rebounds against them
he can't catch a pass
he can't catch rebounds that go right to him
he can't throw passes to anyone on his team but he has deadly accuracy throwing it to the other team.
and he don't rough nobody up

And the hilarious thing (hilarious meaning sad) is that THIS team is the ONE team where he is theoretically supposed to be effective and productive. Yet he is as useless if not more than he usually is. Brooks told everyone who would listen that the Houston series was just a bad matchup for Perk and that he would shine against Memphis. And thats ok if it was just coachspeak, but apparently he believes that shit and continues to play this clown.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

36/11/9 the others gotta do something. either guard someone or make some shots.

they gotta stop trying to create. just take the shot and make the shot

martin/fisher/jackson

you gotta just shoot the ball.

theoretically he should. he's why they brought him in there. to take care of the bigs. he does nothing though

6 rebounds? what the fuck were you doing?

Durant played a perfect game. Had a beautiful statline, even when you consider the turnovers because you have to accept that he is being forced to be the ONLY scoring option AND play fucking PG. WTF!!!?

In all seriousness i watch Perk in utter amazement at just how bad of a player he is. Its cartoonish in its ineptitude.

Against a very good defensive team. Durant can't be stopped. that's just the reality of the situation. The others need to make sure they make buckets. Durant is going to get his against any team in the nba he's proven that.

When you watch all the wide open shots he gets them fools and they just stand there and brick time after time its crazy to me. Then they come down and not defend and its like ok what are yall doing.

Like on the chase down block. Durant came from left field and blocked the dunk and they let Zbo beat them down and put the ball back in? The fuck were the rest of you dudes doing?

I enjoy watching Perkins play. Its comedy.

How do you grab a rebound by yourself and then you just drop it and it goes out of bounds

how do you lose the ball by yourself to the other team and then fall on the player

charles just said "if i could get skip bayless in a room they'd need dna to find out who he was"

"perkins dominated tonight" "what he had 6 rebounds? i need more from the great kendrick perkins"

please please please i hope they play thabeet more minutes

Exactly It's basically bum center 1A or 1B. I don't why you dudes are so high on Thabeet This is why I picked the Grizzlies, the Thunder have no one that can stop Gasol and Randolph. It should be Grizzlies 2-0.

 

[curryshotta]

I wonder how many current players dislike Shaq haha

I see more and more why manybe he and Kobe couldnt get along

 

[KingTaharqa]

I just wanna say Kendrick Perkins is better than Marc Gasol. He's got a ring. All that matters is championships!

 

[BDR]

 

[Better]

You're a really stupid person.

I've SEEN people break that shit down to you, and you continue to compare the rings of a mere role player, to the rings of guys who contribute a disproportionate amount to a team's offense...

...and that, somehow, makes sense to you.

i have to say that pic made me legitimately chuckle

Defensive Player Of The Year Awards are meaningless. Perkins has anchored 3 teams to the NBA Finals. Gasol has always choked and never played in the Finals. Perkins is better. Now you telling me his ring aint real or dont count. Until Gasol wins a ring dont put him in the same breath as Perk.

Dude you are fuckin batshit crazy and know absolutely nothing about basketball if you think Perkins is better than Gasol. Thats the most ridiculous thing i think ive heard all year

 

[Dragonfly Jones]

Westbrook is that X factor. People complain about him but he's a gamer. He puts so much pressure on the other team when he plays. He may take a few, okay a lot of shots but he's never afraid. I think him and KD together can win this series. Since he's not there you see KD can't do it alone. Westbrook can't do it alone either but the two of them can together. I hope this ends that get Westbrook outta here talk. KD just needs to demand the ball more to close out games in the 4th. Everything else can play out like usual.

Perk is weak as fuck. Perk was the center for Boston but Garnett was the defensive anchor. Perk was just a solid role player for those teams. Gasol is the better player. Has Perk ever won DPOY or any awards? Any allstar games? Perk is an overpaid goon, and he can't intimidate anybody on Memphis as Zeebo already owns his ass.

Nobody wins with a one punch. And as much as we love to glorify superstars TEAMS win championships not a player.

Even if Westbrook was there it would have been a tough series against the Grizzlies.

I would have given OKC the edge with Russ because I think there was enough offense to make up the difference.

As it stands this series is too close for me to call

KT is merely holding up a mirror to the legion of stans on BGOL.

their responses indicate that they don't like it very much.
