MAKING NOISE...YOUNG Gunz OKC travel to the GRIND House and #DUBnation heads to the Riverwalk in the ALAMO City then onto the Big LAND LINE...AT&T Center for a date with the SPURS...#OKCvsMEM #GSWvsSAS...Top West Seed Implications

The OKC Thunder will have to forget about the loss last night in Thunder Alley to the Mile High Nuggets quick as they get the Grizz on Beale Street Memphis Tonight. The Thunder come in four games up on the Grizz but the Grizz is chasing the Spurs for the Top Seed in the West and hold onto to their #3 Seed.

The Thunder must lock down the Paint better and tonight they get Z-Bo and the Spaniard Gasol which could mean trouble. The Trade Deadline Pick Up of Tayshaun Prince has even fortified the Grizz Defense even more as Now "Rudy the Raptor" didn't play the Type of D the Grizz liked moving forward let alone that huge Cap Hit Rudy was carrying. The thunder must attack the Grizz in Transition and stay out of a Half Court "Grind" it out Ball game the Grizz love to play.

Grizz PG Mike Conley Jr. has to keep OKC Point God Uncle Russ busy on D to take away some of Westbrook's Offensive Prowess. Prince will get KD and KD will get his but if he gets thirty plus make it a had thirty plus. Both Thunder Bigs (Perk and Air Congo...Ibaka) must keep Z-Bo and Gasol at bay and not big numbers from a  points perspective. This Game has a lot on the line as the Spurs are hosting GSW Tonight with both the Grizz and Thunder watching.

Speaking of the Spurs and GSW that Spurs dominance at home has been wavering a tad since Spurs PG TP9 went down. The Warriors come in as dangerous as anybody in the Logo from the perimeter with Young Steph, Klay, and J2...Jarrett Jack. The Spurs will need DG of AT&T...Danny Green, Corey Joseph, De Colo, Neal, and even Patty Mills to low down this trio of Lethal Guards. The Spurs have the advantage up front and Pops will exclusively go to the Onside/Out Game vs the Warriors to war down that GSW Front court.

GSW All-Star D-Lee, C-Landry, and Rooks..Ezeli and Barnes will have to play Big as they will be challenged by Splitter, K.L., Captain Jack, and Diaw. Mark Jackson knows every Win is solidifying the #6 Seed in the West and every loss is getting the Rockets, Lakers, and even the Jazz closer to getting a slot or moving up a slot. To the Spurs Credit they have played well in TP9's Absence but they will need to win a couple of more games without him. Playing without TP9 only adds to the Spurs Confidence moving into Winning Time.

As we go to Press GSW is only two full games up on the Rockets and the Spurs only have OKC to worry about to get to that Western Conference #1 Seed.
