Grizzlies vs. Thunder! Who Wins the Series? - NBA Playoffs 2011 - JRSportBrief

[MrTwilight3030]

OKC THUNDER BABY WE HARD TO STOP

[Dzeroblade]

GO Thunder!

[paulwhitemon]

never knew grizzlies were this good no lie

[ribuworm]

Go MEMPHIS in Game 7 !! Go Zach !! From Italy ! I will watch the game tomorrow at 10.30 pm here :)

[AcctNo4]

Aren't the playoffs so much more exciting and unpredictable now that those dirty Lakers have exited?

[rusTITOrus]

griz....wil go to the finals you'll see

[Titan615mvp]

real grizzlies fan here been going to games for 8 years now. grindhouse grizznation z-bo 4 MVP

[RAVENakaBIRDIE]

@JRSportBrief who do you thinks goin to the finals? i think chicago and dallas

[Larsinyfammm]

Been a fan of Memphis since Vacouver.

Memphis will win. We have the best frontcourt in the playoffs and one of the best backcourts. We have one of the best defenses in the west. Memphis also beat the Thunder 3-1 in the regular season. 2 home games 1 tonight we win both we are up 3-1, and win in game 6 at home or even game 5 in OKC.

[teamhighhoe]

grizzlie bandwagoners? HA, just because no one knew shit about the grizz and never seen them ply dont mean that our fans came out of no where. weve always had the grizz backs.

[logovi]

shut the fuck up

[koalaswrath]

Grizzlies beat the Spurs JR. If you have any honor, you should post a video of you throwing your caps in the river. I hate the spurs, but if you talk the talk, then walk the walk. if you don't then you're just another shit talking asshole. Iknow you'll do the right thing... Your JR, quite a few peoples sports commentating champion.

[DamnLetsGo]

Damn Zach Randolph is a huge bad ass

[MichaelCastian]

My Dubs humiliated Dallas in 07' and now the Grizzlies stomp the Spurs. I love it. What's up for next year, the Craptors upsetting the Bulls? xD

[IndestructibleDV]

Everybody in Tennessee is talking about the Grizzlies. I mean you can see why being that all our other teams suck.

[idkfoo6]

If the Grizlies beat the Thunder, Jose Better get ready to sport some new hats JR !

[WNSoren]

none of those games should be considered upsets

its just the bandwagon teams losing

[arancar66]

grizzlies about to beat thunder

[garachicoRon]

okc will take it if they can contain the 2 memphis bigs

[IHopBorders2]

How 'bout them T-wolves. LOL

[Oozingmachismo24]

smell another grizzlies upset coming

[lilHippo]

i still dont understand how the spurs lost to the grizzles? doesnt make sense

[rsbuckeye525rs]

This game was controlled by the Grizz! If Randolph scores 30 a game, and Gasol gets a double-double, they can beat the Lakers in my Opinion.

[derikdd3d]

the grizz are a better team then the thunder,,,they only have 2 good scorers and then they have no one....they cant gaurd z bo and marc...the grizz have TA and battier to gaurd durant and conley gaurds westbrook pretty well..and memphis has a better bench bcuz oj an battier is better then harden...any grizz bandwagoners out there? the wagon is full but u can try and run behind it.

[V8king]

thunder got their ass kick in the first game..fail ahaha

[fancyviper]

if the gizzlies win it all man i dont know what will happen but i can only imagine if they have rudy gay. I know who killed osama. WE Did!!!!!! im so happy

[AdAm42RuLz]

@jrsportbrief You should send your caps out to your fans if the grizzlies beat the spurs. Such a waste for nice hats like those to be thrown in a river

[DistinguishedDudes]

Osama is dead!

[mars8254]

@DistinguishedDudes spelled his name wrong..

[DistinguishedDudes]

@mars8254 WOW thats embarrising i dont know what to say oops

[mars8254]

@DistinguishedDudes im from the middle east i worship that nigga!!!! you stupid americans thinks it osama it usama...you american fuckers get obama right but cant get osama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DistinguishedDudes]

@mars8254 wow i just checked my comment now im confused u said osama and i said that 2 so help me and also you worship a man who killed thousands please explain

(im not hating im just confused )

[Air23Davis]

Grizzlies are better without Rudy Gay. hes a ballhog and dosent make ppl better.

Tony Allen and Shane Battier seem to get the team going because theyre team players...they tried trading rudy gay to the Celtics During the draft...we realized how he is and didnt want him they wanted Rondo we said fuck no!

[Mrblackiechan17]

i am so happy for the grizzlies i hope they beat the thunder its the first time they have been good man even when they were the Vancouver grizzlies they were garbage lets go grizzlies

[potatoraider]

why are people so surprised about Memphis doing well...rudy gay getting hurt was the best thing to happen to the grizzlies..its obvious that no one hear watched any grizzlies games...Memphis beat the thunder 3-1 in the regular season...they will beat the thunder..they know how to defend Durant and Westbrook..it will be Lakers and Memphis in the conference finals and even then Memphis has a good chance to beat the Lakers when you compare...

[Karnevalsgeil]

@potatoraider Im really sry to tell you Memphis didnt defend KD and westbrook very well the regular Season here theyr stat-line

Westbrook vs. Memphis 2010/11: 24,5 Punkte 47,2 FG% 9,0 Assists

Durant vs. Memphis 2010/11 30,5 Punkte 47,3 FG% 8,3 Rebounds

but Perk and Ibaka will not be that kinda Challenge for Marc and Z-BO as they all say

[potatoraider]

@Karnevalsgeil they will get their points...but look at the turn overs...first game harden gets 7 turn overs..second game Durant gets 6 and in the fourth game Westbrook got 8...and in game one i think westbrook turned the ball over 7 times...they are gonna get their points but them turning the ball over like that is what looses them the game..like to also mention tony allen had a total of 8 steals in the 2 games Durant and Westbrook had alot of turnovers

[MrRiseagainst1]

I still think the Thunder will win this series

[TeoJordanGR]

First game the Grizzles have won the Thunder in Oklahoma and i feel very happy cause i'm very angry of giving the Nuggets an other first round loss while they didn't deserved it this year, so i wish Memphis to sweep these OKC guys off the Playoffs!!!

[xxrayziozxx]

i don't think anyone (but the grizzlies fans) expected them to do so well in the post season

and finally z-bo (i still don't know y it's Z-Bo )getting some attention he deserves

[IIIbilly]

@xxrayziozxx Have u watched any of the friday movies?

[xxrayziozxx]

@IIIbilly no but i might if it tells me y Z-Bo is Z-Bo

WHERE DOES THE "BO" COME FROM!

[IIIbilly]

@xxrayziozxx ok basically in the friday movies there is a bully called d bo. so they took the bo off d bo and put it to z bo. its saying that hes a bully in the post and rebounding

[xxrayziozxx]

@IIIbilly i now love the nickname now i know it's meaning

z bo playing some bully ball

[llcooll2002]

Ummmm......... so yeah I guess the Grizzlies are serious this year. They Playoffs out West just got interesting.

[Comment0136]

bin laden is dead!!!!

[beni5426]

memphis won yes!

[MrSavageVideos]

I knew this Memph team had a great line-up, but wasn't consistent. I even told my friend while playing some nba 2k11. This team has a great line-up why they didn't they make the playoffs [This was when the game cameout]. And we both agreed. And I also picked them getting into the playoffs and doing some work, but looking at them now without Gay, wow. But I still like Thunder in 6. LOL

[TheKooolcat21]

fuck sports right now osama is terminated

[jaybar1992]

Memphis vs Current Playoff Teams This Season:

vs. LA 2-2

vs. Dal 3-1

vs.Okc 3-1

vs. Bos 1-1

vs. Mia 1-1

vs. Atl 0-2

vs. Chi 0-2

They're not your ordinary 8th seed

[cpanthers88]

Too much Z-Bo

[aznpowerdaniel]

can you imagine if the grizzlies had rudy gay?

O_____O

[JRSportBrief]

@aznpowerdaniel That would have been great!

[joikonomou123]

@JRSportBrief you dont know that for sure....if he was playing he could dissrupt the balance and the momentum that the team has right now....

[potatoraider]

@aznpowerdaniel i gotta be honest...i think they are playing better without rudy gay...i think him getting hurt gave Memphis a wake up call on how good there team really is and how they don't have to rely on a mediocre "super star"...when he comes back i think he will have to learn to fit in to the new Memphis grizzlies team

[amorat627]

Grizzlies beat the Thunder in 6 games on the backs of ZBo, Marc Gasol and Battier. And the scary thing about the Grizz is that they are still missing Rudy Gay!!!! In conclusion Grizzlies face Lakers in the ECF and lose in 6 games. Lakers vs Heat or Bulls in the finals and either Lakers lose in 6 or 7 or win in 6

[Deeznuwts]

If Russ starts passing the ball i think they can beat the Grizzly by game 6. Thunder needs more teamwork than they showed today! Although it wouldn't be a bad matchup to see Marc Gasol vs Pau Gasol in the next round

[telj1]

The Grizzlies! They're pretty consistent in all positions. No crazy super stars but hustle dudes and more muscle than finesse.

[iPhoneIsTheBestPhone]

@mvpcone27 i know the NBA rules two tech abd your outta there. he deserved the first one because he head butted james jones. but on the 2nd tech all he did was set a screen on wade. the fuckin refs need to let the players play. its the fuckin playoffs emotions are going to be high, but let them play damn. fans dont wanna see players getting tossed outta the games in May & June !!

[iPhoneIsTheBestPhone]

@Eskara0 i know perice deserved the tech when he head butted james jones but when he set a screen on wade, and got thrown out of the game thats pure trash. the refs pretty much gave the heat the win at that point. & there was no reason to watch the rest of the game. your gonna toss out the celtics best scorer, thats dumb. if the refs fuck up game 2 im not even gonna watch this series anymore. ill stick to the other 3 series.

[dazzaman13]

Grizzlies will beat the Thunder they already won game one even tho that means nothing really.

[ZinderZim]

Thunder in 5 but i have been surprised before!

[hulkbuster]

Griz in 5.

[CeeDizzy]

Thunder in 6

[idkfoo6]

Griz in 7

[coolstir10]

Gzil will face the lakers for the West Finals

[iPhoneIsTheBestPhone]

@wooball7 i dont hate the heat. i love wade he is one of my fav players. i dont really like lebron & i really cant stand bosh. but all im asking for is to call it fair. the refs cant throw one of bostons best players outta the game for setting a screen that fucked up the whole end of the game. if your gonna throw perice out on that play you gotta throw wade out too, just make the game fuckin fair. the refs blew this one man.

[Eskara0]

@iPhoneIsTheBestPhone

I'm no celtics fan but Pierce did nothing to get thrown out those refs more than likely were biased against the celtics. I hope the celtics rally in this series and kick the Heats ass. Celtics and Bulls are what I want to see in the Eastern finals.Bulls and Heat would be more entertaining though. Go Bulls!

[mvpcone27]

@iPhoneIsTheBestPhone They had to throw Pierce out because he got his second technical of the game. Two techs is an automatic trip to the showers.

[iPhoneIsTheBestPhone]

thats pure bull shit man. the refs throw perice outta the game because he set a screen. that would be like the refs kickin wade or lebron outta the game. the refs are gonna cheat and give this series to miami, if the refs cheat game 2 im not gonna watch this bull shit of a series anymore, im gonna watch the other three.

[wuat007]

grizzlies bandwagonas 

[JRSportBrief]

@wuat007 lol

[wuat007]

@JRSportBrief not you ;)

[Tamang4CA]

@wuat007 truly being a celtics fan, i dont think there are any bandwagon fans for grizzlies. Look at the lakers and heat. Thats some fake fans.

[darmor85]

@wuat007 Mane i been a grizz fan since gasol..stromile swift...damon stoudemire...young shane battier...brian" big country" williams....jason williams.....eddie jones..bevin knight.....>>>>THESE THE BANDWAGONAS...STH MEM ALL DAY BHZ STAND UP....EAST STAND UP...NORFFFFFFF.. ALL OF MEMPHIS STAND G-TOWN....ALL OF MEMPHIS ENJOY THIS SHIT10 YRS N DA MAKINGNOW FOR THE TAKING

[Mr360BeasTx]

"Old man sam young" Well for your information.. sam young made the spurs look like my local YMCA Basketball team. lol LEGGO! #GRIZZLIESNATION STANDUP!

[NBAquicksilver]

Grizzlies in 6.

[g6686not]

Jr stop doubting the Grizz! They have played this way all season and we never got tv time smh but we coming! M=Town mid south area stand up!

[macktysontv]

This is a tough one. OKC has a great perimeter game and the Grizzlies are great inside. I'll bet on the Grizzlies inside game before I bet on the OKC outside game. Plus the grizzlies already took one in OKC.

[canoli56]

i agree with you man, thunder gonna top the bears

[XYZDRAGON23]

Ima die hard hawks fan but i think okc is gonna lose dis series......

[TheTeamOfGaming]

Russell Westbrook and Durant will get their points. Yeah I know Ibaka and Harden but not one time have both of them been clicking at the same time. The Grizzlies are a TEAM. The Thunder are 2 or 3 players. You're saying that the deciding factor is the Thunder have bodies to throw at the Grizzlies. Again Ibaka is on and off. Now Perkins, here are his stats 2 points and 6 boards. That's barely anything. Grizz are a better TEAM

[BrysonLax]

I need the Hawks in the Eastern Conf Finals

[damonwilliams100]

Im a thunder fan, and i do think the thunder is going to win, but i do think there is a chance the Grizzlies will win. I hav much respect for them after the 1st round, and i think if they beat the Thunder, they are goin to be my team for the playoffs

[Mr360BeasTx]

@damonwilliams100 hop off the bandwagon. us Grizzlies don't need FAKE FANS! #GRIZZLIE NATION STAND UP! LEGGO!!!!

[damonwilliams100]

@Mr360BeasTx not bandwagon, jus respect bro. OJ Mayo used to be my favorite player like 2 yrs ago, but i bacame a Durant fan, and im jus sayin if yaw beat the Thunder, then i wish yaw the best of luck. I kind of like seein underdog teams win, unless its against my team. lol, so good luck

[lilman99025]

The sonics are probably gonna lose to the grizzlies

[pietown5]

i think the thunder will win. they are much younger than the spurs and still have enough energy late in the season. the spurs were just tired. but i would'nt be suprised if the grizzles win the series.

[Livinglifehigh]

bynum vs Marc G

Pau vs Zbo

good ass match

[SDTYMER]

Thunder gonna win but the the Griz will compete

[duke1244]

I think people are jumping on the grizzlies too soon... they might just flop all the sudden..

[2pacisthebest90]

grizzlies.

[mafiakev]

Noooooooo !!!!!

[nhan96]

i thought you said if grizzlies beat spurs you would throw your caps into the river

[And1Li]

@nhan96 lol he said if they win finals

[JRSportBrief]

@nhan96 Championship.

[MacGovernor]

Regular season is BS. First the Spurs are better than everyone in the West in 82 games, then comes Grizzlies the 8th seeded and is better in 6. You either make playoffs as long as the regular season or put East number 1 and West number 1 in to the NBA Finals best-of-twentyone-series.

[Exarion1117]

What a beating!

[808CAboiz]

Grizzlies FTW

[SwagSoSickRick]

I didn't watch the video but I just came here to say that no one on okc can hold Zach Randolph

[tokinblckgie]

All I know is, if Conley and Gasol continue to work that pick and roll the way they've been doing so far and Z-Bo keeps dominating in the paint, Memphis is gonna tough to take down. The Thunder's lack of depth offensively looked like it hurt them today. Anyway, it's a long series but Memphis is looking sharp to start.

[oriolesravens23]

i think the grizzles are gonna upset the thunder at 4-2

[MrFluffy333]

JR What do you think about Westbrook, he shot 9-23

In my opinion Robinson should've played

If I were him I would be pissed off Westbrook is shooting as bad as a high school kid on drugs

[32JSE]

What the heck. They won the first game against Thunder. I'm starting to get scared with that team.

[Mr360BeasTx]

Im a Huge Memphis and has been for years! WE DONT NEED NO BANDWAGON FANS! Pleas just hop off! thank you!

[TheUltimatePhillyFan]

western conference finals... Grizzlies vs Lakers

eastern conference finals... Hawks vs Celtics

[mafiakev]

@TheUltimatePhillyFan seriously ? =/

[TheUltimatePhillyFan]

@mafiakev lol im not too sold on the bulls mainly because im a sixers fan and we beat the bulls 2 out of 3 times we played in the regular season and they barely beat a pacers team that was under .500

[xDaRkIcEx4]

On paper, OKC looks better but the intangibles such as second chance points steals, great defense points in the paint may actually put Memphis over OKC

[Darkscott626]

I think JR is stuck on the last season Grizzlies...

Memphis just beat Oklahoma City 114-101.

[slothgooey]

I know you said you dont expect memphis to win, but wouldnt it be amazing to see a true cindarella story in memphis? 

[OTKP]

Thunder in trouble, Memphis is just a young and they probably have MORE DEPTH which may surprise a lot of people

Gasol and Randolph are just too good, Arthur and Battier both can guard Durant, Mike Conley is also a very good defense and Tony Allen who is also a good defense can BOTH Guard Westbrook

If you really look at both teams, I think Memphis might have a SLIGHT ADVANTAGE which may shock some people!

[ADAJ3]

Zach Randolph is a beast, I picked the Thunder to win but I have no problem with the Grizzlies.

[Skittles658]

In the words of Thurle Baily first to 100 wins.

[MrFluffy333]

Grizzlies lead!

I say they'll win it all!!!!!!!!

[erocktheartist]

memphis is actually good. where the fuck was i at

[TheChickMagnetTheMiz]

I bet the chicks in the Bronx love your haircut

[MrNFL6]

no one is going to beat the lAKERS!

[Icedvids]

Right now game 1 is THunder 77 Grizzles 93.

[BrentWoodSean38]

JR always goes for the "favorite"

[ADAJ3]

@BrentWoodSean38 i agree, he never takes a chance

[MrNo4skn]

man i still say grizzlies are not going to beat the spurs

[xDaRkIcEx4]

Oh yeah the reason why i'm choosing grizzlies over OKC because grizzlies beat OKC 3 - 1 in the regular season. That's saying something AND they're winning right now.

[sthao1]

I'm gonna go with Grizzlies in 6. Question for you JR...do you have video footage of your night out doing karaoke? If yes, do you mind sharing? Haha.

[xDaRkIcEx4]

I'ma hop on the grizzlies bandwagon and say they're gonna beat OKC and face Lakers in the West finals . 

[PRtoRP]

LOL I can't believe you guys think the Grizzlies will take the series. No one one their team can guard Durant & OKC's experience, esp. Perkins, will help prevail them to the conference finals. OKC in 6

[ZillaKillaGuy]

grizzlies will surprise the thunder in 5 or 6... hmm, im going with 6... grizzlies in 6!

[ZorkzoProductions]

Spurs seem to be the worst playoff team of the last 5 years

[rbermea]

OKC in 6 is my prediction.

[mafiakev]

OKC vs C's or Bulls for Finals !!! Trust me

[uNcLeMaCkDaDdY]

@krazywu ....uhhhh no most people would rather watch la and dal than okc and mem...lmao

[buldogx]

It should be like football(soccer), because there - you don't know who will win. Like USA beat Algeria in the world cup.

[krazywu]

oklahoma has a better point guard,small forward.and perkins and ibaka in the middle

grizzlies got zach randolph,oj mayo,marc gasol (who is underatted) so its gonna be one hell of a series......the game is going to be more fun to watch than dallas vs l.a

[krazywu]

im going to have to say oklahoma city in 7 games

[stevechen1991]

Memphis is a great team!they are clearly better than spurs and they could beat OKC too

[elspeks]

Lakers Vs Celtics NBA Finals?.. Hopefully Not..

[And1Li]

Grizzlies are up against OKC uh oh....

[j3ownj3]

Everyone needs to chill out.. people are starting to go crazy like they did when the sea hawks beat the Saints but then didint go anywere

[iApple564]

Grizzlies = VCU of the NBA Playoffs

[bigandrew94]

Kevin Durant FTW! He's just plainly to clutch to get beat right now in his prime.

[crazydude75044]

i think you should like do some sort of dare we suggest, if grizzles win

[whiteb011]

hey after beating the spurs if they play the same way with thunder they going to roll right past them.

[metalmadness00]

that was quick 11 views to 124

[ricobellic1]

OKC all the way to the Championship

[tyakack]

Thunder in 6 maybe 7 if the grizzlies really bring it.

[xKidCudii]

Grizzlies Vs Celtics NBA Finals

[Domini478]

@xKidCudii The Lakers vs Celtics

[Swanton18]

@xKidCudii O_O no

[TheUniverseStudios]

Heat win championship anyway, one of this matters.

[haroldfangbar]

Grizzlies are going to surprise everyone. So are the Hawks. I asked you about both of these teams on one of your live chats and you said both of them have no chance of winning a series.

[JRSportBrief]

@haroldfangbar Nope. I said Championship. If the Grizzlies win the trophy Jose the Beaver gets all my hats!

[248759ful]

@haroldfangbar the grizzlies have a chance but definitly not the hawks...

[TorresinhoLFC]

OKC will beat them but Lakers going to win the conference :)

[rrolandfanega]

It's gonna be 2007 playoffs again...I'm going with the Thunder

[metalmadness00]

if memphis beats OKC they;ll be one of my favs & if they beat L.A & Win the western FInals they be my favorite in te\he west

[batow8]

JR You don't know shit. You said Grizzlies were gonna lose.

[AirTupac]

Lol @ Grizzlies giving Lakers a challenge.

[kothftw]

i want the grizzs

[Joeblack1100]

JR, aren't you the one who said grizzlies don't have a chance?? I know it hurts to be wrong huh?

[reym613]

WHO cares ??? nun of them is going to the finals

[Fujimans12]

Grizzliers got this. And after this series they're going to beat the Lakers.

[JRSportBrief]

@Fujimans12 Yup. Grizzlies going to win 4 NBA titles this year.

[Fujimans12]

@JRSportBrief 4 titles in one year? I don't know about that but they are definitely winning one.

[RossMane95]

@JRSportBrief Do you like elie seckbach

[VoorkJTV]

@JRSportBrief They have a better win/loss in the reg season vs all the teams left then any other team, even the Lakers. Playing them off is a mistake.

[HTownStunnaXX]

@JRSportBrief you were wrong, the Grizz won, dont count out the underdog

[tyakack]

@Fujimans12 Whoa calm down, come back to reality for a second.

[Deadshot089]

@Fujimans12 I can see the Grizzlies there too. But in order for them to beat the Lakers they gotta give Kobe food poison to beat them.

I'm just saying..
