Yes solid start by the Grizz.

OKC looks infinitely more talented at this point, now that they've slowed down zbo

Just like last game. 5:00 mark in the 2nd Q, the Grizzlies decide to forget that the object is to put the ball in the basket and also forget the object is to stop the other team from scoring.

This is a pathetic effort by the Grizzlies right now in an elimination game.

10 point lead at half by OKC. Really a bad last 5:00 of the 2nd Q by the Grizz. Can't stop Westbrook or Harden and just have shot so poorly. The major issue is that guys like Conley, Battier, Mayo, Allen are bricking everything they throw up from outside allowing the Thunder to keep clogging the lane on any penetration and packing it in on Randolph and Gasol...

Great gameplan by OKC.

OKC looks much better.

However, it still about making shots. If Westbrook starts cold, and Griz (esp Conley) start making shots, this could get tip Memphis way.

However, that's a big if, especially with a fresh Durant, but a 10 point lead is not much in the NBA.

I'm thinking there is a 7th game. More rest for the Mavs.

Pretty solid defense from both teams. But also some real sloppy offense from Memphis and OKC. Strictly one on one hoops from everybody.

Definately looks like more rest for the Mavericks. Doesn't look like Thunder can close the gap.

Terrible game for the refs tonight. At least a half dozen calls where they completely invented stuff.

Refs were calling way too many ridiculous charges going against both teams.

Iowaggie, you called it right. Grizz were able to contain Westbrook in the second half and finally were able to hit some shots and got Randolph rolling. Plus the defense on Durant has been very good tonight (I think he'll go off in OKC in game 7 though)

This was a very good win for Memphis to extend the series to Game 7. This has been the most entertaining playoff series so far this year!

It's really annoying when any announcers call Duncan "Timmay" other than SA homers.

And the only reason that moniker is around is Pop, I believe.

Thunder most likely will take this one, but not like they did in game 5.

When OKC shoot like this, they are going to be tough to beat. Harden is probaly the key to this team.

Refs are letting them play in the paint.

I've just finally gotten home but have been following on my blackberry. Sounds like OKC has it all working and Durant is playing well and OKC has closed quarters well.

Grizz are shooting about 32% which seems to be a recurring theme in the losses, they have just shot so poorly.

Not going your way if you are Memphis when Nazr Mohammed is making 18 ft jumpers and getting buzzer beating finger rolls...

Grizz finally got a little offense going in the 4th only to see them not be able to get a defensive stop...

Great playoff run for the Grizz coming to an end. They should be a force next year. They need to use this taste of success to motivate them to get into the Top 4 of the West next year so they can get home court for a series or two.

OKC played great today, got a triple double from Westbrook, Durant with a huge game, and Harden with big 3s. What you'd expect from superstars in a game 7. Will be hard to beat them with that kind of output.
