GRIZZLIES vs THUNDER...NBA WEST 1st Round...Big BOY PANTS Only...GRIT & GRIND Beale Street hits THUNDER Alley and the REGULATORS Report OKC...Z-BO and "Baby SPANIARD" vs Air CONGO and "PERK-ilicious" and of course it's a @kdTREY5 and a KD 6 World..."FIGHT 4 LARRY" and LOGO WATCH going PANTALONES grande! #MEMvsOKC #GnG #ThunderAlley

The Memphis Grizzlies arrive in Thunder Alley with Memphis Dry Rub, "Memphis in May" Tickets, the Grind House Bigs @macBO50 and "Baby Spaniard" Gasol, the "Grind Father" West Side of the Chi's Tony Alley, and of course a little "Bump & Grind". The Thunder can expect turbulence and the Seat Belt Lights to stay even during cruising altitude. OKC Pilots KD and Uncle Russ with Co-Pilot Serge have the recipe to get pact the Grizz but it will be filled with Air Pockets. This is a Chess-Match De Jour and Grizz Lead Man Joerger needs to watch himself as OKC Lead Man Scott Brooks has the know-how navigating through the "Fight 4 Larry".

GRIZZLIES to win: 

They have to and will make it a knockdown drag out affair in the half court Bumping and Grinding for 48 as OKC must be patient. The Grizz also need timely Money Ball-Making from Conley Jr., Courtney Lee, and M&M Plain dba Mike Miller to off set the Thunder's Money Ball Shooting. "Points in the Paint" will be at Premium and the Grizz will play Big picking their spots in transition. C-Lee and Tony Allen gives them defensive versatility on the wings to match up with KD and the Crew. Grizz Top Reinforcement is Tony Allen and Nick Calathes....

OKC to win: 

KD will be KD and Russ will be Russ and they must get consistent numbers from Serge Ibaka and all the other Actors in a Supporting Role have to do their job. Can the Thunder make is fast-paced and live in the fast-lane as that is Grizz Kryptonite. OKC must get Thunder Nation involved and locked in early and that will be the Key playing the first two after Pre-Game Meals at KD's Southern Cuisine. If KD and Russ are flowing and the OKC Roster is doing their part I see late May to early June Pro Hoops. OKC Top Reinforcement is Reggie Jackson, Derek Fisher, and Nick Collison

OKC wins 4-2...too much KD and Russ and youth and athleticism for the Grizz!
