OKC Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies: What have we seen?

I think this game will either be very exciting or very boring. I think Memphis has the emotional edge, but OKC has the pressure to prove something at home with Durant and Westbrook. Sit back and get ready for a ride.

We’ve seen so much in the Western Conference semifinal playoff series between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies:

We’ve seen Interstate 40 open, closed and reopened.

We’ve seen the Mississippi River rise to a near-record crest in Memphis.

We’ve seen fan support rise to record levels in Oklahoma City.

We’ve seen blowouts, comebacks, one overtime and three overtimes.

We’ve seen a noon start and a 12:40 a.m. finish.

We’ve seen neither team lead the series by more than one game.

We’ve seen young legs become tired legs.

We’ve seen several double-digit leads blown by both teams.

We’ve seen the Thunder bench outscore the other team’s starters and also their own starters.

We’ve seen subs who probably should be starting, and starters who probably should be subbing.

We’ve seen five Memphis players score in double-digits in the same game on four occasions, and also have seen a game where only one Memphis player reached double-digits.

We’ve seen only one team (OKC) shoot 50 percent or better from the field in a game.

We’ve seen Memphis shoot less than 40 percent in three straight games.

We’ve seen first-team All-NBA pick Kevin Durant shoot 76.9 percent from the free-throw line, which is 11.3 percent lower than his career average.
