看着雷霆队从没有威少慢慢调整过来,还是蛮有意思的。杜少这场比赛在努力 involve his teammates early. 一把卡 was off, but Martin stepped up big time. I really liked how they posted Martin a few times, yes, the skinny Martin. You can't win in playoffs by jumpshots. Hopefully Martin won't disappear in the 4th quarter as he usually do. But if Durant can get his teammates share offense burden with him in 3 quarters and keep the Memphis in check, he will take over in the 4th. That's what super star should always do, coz when you get hot early, and everyone is cold, when you are cold, nobody can help. But if you get your teammates going, you have a much easier job.
Jackson really shows the world that he got potential. No, he's not at WB's level, but he's doing well. Fisher, as much as I hate his flopping act, he's a big X-factor for this young OKC team. Veteran leadership, knows what button to push at what time, when he's manning the point, he's not flashy at all. Pounding the ball and protecting (我一直不喜欢小林轻飘飘的拍球,use hard dribble, so you have better control and protection), passing to the post, and make himiself available at the primeter.
Ibaka is off, and Perkins is no offensive thread, but I still think Brooks should put his team to attack inside more. I know Gasol and ZBo are far superior interior offensive weapons, but how do you limit opponents' offensive focus? Make them play defense. Don't let them off the hook too easily.
That being said, I believe this series will be a Grizzlies win in 6, because their inside out game is more suited for playoffs, and Westbrook is not replaceable. But if, a big if, this series goes to 7 games, I think Durant will win it.
It's so much more fun to watch a game, when you don't care who's going to win:)
