The NBA Basketball series shifts to help Memphis for Game 3 since the Memphis Grizzlies collide with Kevin Durant the Oklahoma City Thunder on the Saturday night, May 11, 2013.
Taking Memphis Grizzlies on the moneyline in Game 2 was practically the easiest play of the playoffs in case you ask me. The way your Grizzlies practically gave away Sport 1, I had no doubts in my mind they would bounce back and care for business on Tuesday night, coping with to even the series in one game apiece after their hard fought 99-93 victory. While Memphis only shot 41% from the floor, which included going 4-15 via beyond the arc, they were able to control the offensive glass, grabbing two times as many offensive rebounds as the Thunder plus they only turned the ball above 10 times, compared to virtually double (19) for Oklahoma Location. Mike Conley led the method for the visitors with 26 points, 10 rebounds and nine facilitates while Marc Gasol added twenty-four points. For Oklahoma City Thunder, Kevin Durant was Mr Almost everything again as he finished along with 36 points, 11 rebounds in addition to 9 assists.
I didn’t imagine Kevin Martin would replicate his 25 point outing from Sport 1 and I was right as he only finished along with six points on 2-11 shooting in Game 2. While Derek Fisher’s nineteen point outburst was a pleasurable surprise, Martin is the guy that must step up if the Thunder would like to advance to the Western Seminar Finals. Kevin Durant has been lights out inside the first two games and Oklahoma City Thunder can’t count by themselves pretty lucky they aren’t down 0-2 heading to Memphis for Games 3 & four.
I think this can be another no-brainer pick, like Game 2. The Grizzlies dominated the Clippers in their home games within the last few series and while I don’t think this is a domination, I fully expect Memphis in to the future away with the victory in addition to cover here. I just think that your Thunder will struggle somewhat overseas and I can’t see Kevin Durant having any scoring help anytime moment soon. I could go even more, but the Grizzlies are your clear play here.

For the risk of stating the apparent, the Thunder are a much worse team without having Westbrook. That hamstrings their particular offense, degrades their defense and forces those to alter their proven game prepare.
In their 2 home games, Oklahoma City Thunder managed only 13 fast-break points; Durant has been busy bringing the ball up rather then getting out on the crack, and Jackson lacks the court vision to beat the Memphis Grizzlies D in transition.
Oklahoma City Thunder incorporates a tremendous weapon at their fingertips in KD, but even his gaudy production just barely earned a split in the home. While the Thunder are still too talented to belong to a 3-1 series hole, their prospects for that conference finals look gloomy.
The Memphis Grizzlies will falter for the offensive end in one of these games at home, but it won't be Game 3.
