    Reggie Jackson is a very lucky man. He fouled the right guy. What a stupid foul.

    Durant was clutch but the last few minutes was more about Memphis' mental toughness. What, what?

    Poor execution down the stretch for Memphis compared to great execution down the stretch for the Thunder. Plain and simple.

    Durant had to be a beast again, Martin had to be relevant, Prince and the rest of the Memphis perimeter ignore Gasol / Randolph, and OKC only wins by 2.

    Memphis in 5 or 6.

    Durant's clutchness was more of a reason Memphis lost. Dude was cold-blooded.

    Turnovers + a FT brick on a call that is almost never made. The definition of mental toughness!

    OKC won game 1 at home. But Memphis clearly can beat them. It's not really a big deal.

    Team that won 56 games in the regular season, just beat another 56 win team in the playoffs, playing a team that lost its second best player. Memphis is supposed to win.

    Why does everybody on here suddenly find Memphis to just be these world-beaters? Reminiscent of the Steph Curry splooge-fest that's been going on recently...

    So, I'm thinking the key for OKC is definitely Kevin Martin.

    However, if he keeps up his disappearing acts, especially with Allen on him instead of a defender like Harden, Durant is going to get run down. Memphis needs to retool their defense.

    Maybe, but all these Memphis in 4 or 5 is really discreding OKC who had the best point differential in the league. I get that Westbrook is important but OKC is a great team without him. Plus, I don't know wtf got into old man Fisher but he is balling!
