It;s getting real in the MEM-OKC Series as the Grizzlies many thought could not win one game in Thunder Alley as they have won two games in OKC and all have been in extras. OKC having all kinds of issues as the "Grind Father" Tony Allen has been giving it to KD whether he admits it or not. Russ has been Russ All In or "Clank" All Night.
In a nip and tuck affair that again saw the Grizzlies running away late and then folding at the end to into extras happened once again in game five. This time the Grizz pull it of and they were a Reggie Jackson having a night in game four from ending the series tonight inn OKC. The Offensive Balance for OKC has been off and that Russ/KD Combo might need a Line Change and yes the Bluedude went Ice Games for my NHL Heads.
Behind another solid game from Grizz Driver Mike Conley Jr. (17 pts 4 asst 1 TO) and the "Grind House Bigs" showing up like they always do Z-BO (20 pts 10 rebs) and Gasol (11 pts 15 rebs 4 asst) the Grizz were in good hands all night long. Throw all that in the Memphis Dry Rub with some M&M Plain dba Mike Miller (21 pts w/5-8 3pt FG including a few Heat Checks) the Grizz took it right to the Thunder.
OKC committed 17 turnovers (Grizz 9) and Russ (30 pts 13 asst 10 rebs) and KD (26 pts 8 rebs) going for a combined 20 for 55 is not going to cut it. Westbrook needs to look more for KD and OKC Lead Man Scotty Brooks has to be the one to let Russ know he needs more shots. Both Butler and Ibaka added 15 points with Serge grabbing a dozen Boards. Now the Plot thickens as OKC faces elimination in Memphis and the Thunder will see both Snake Plissken (Escape from NY) and John Rambo (Rambo) and maybe even AVP trying to win game 6 in Memphis.
