Blown away in game 1.



They need to do better in the next games otherwise OKC will the cue and send them off the playoffs.

To think they started well and got early points only to see that pace dwindle afterwards. Ja morant tried hard to stir some up but mehh.

I don't think the Grizzlies have the pieces in order to win on this series.

OKC just made a statement that they're different from what they were last year. They're better now, and they've shown it in this game where the offense is just too much for them. At the same time, the defense is also very good knowing that the Grizzlies only scored 80 points. The duo of Hartenstein and Holmgren really is a big problem to the opponents. I mean imagine how can you score when there's 2 7-footers defending the paint.

I will not be surprised if this series will end up in a sweep just because of how the Thunder demolished them in Game 1, but if you're a Grizzlies fan, it already is a bad day to be a fan since firing Coach Jenkins. :X

We see the Grizzlies in the pitch? I know this can sound pretty dumb, but is ironical.

What the hell they do, they dont even look like a tank team who is waiting the season to end to grab new players and being in a better place in the draft. They were absolute garbage, all the players starters and subs.

Well done thunder showing all his strenghts.

Agree, there's no need to react since its early we don't see the real picture yet if they are really going to win. 1 game doesn't tell everything since there's provably an adjustment will happen especially that their opponent is also hungry to win this series.

If they win again against Memphis on game 2 then maybe we can say that chances to win is really high and provably that those things what they say and possible match up will happen. But they cannot assure that automatically Wolves will be there opponent since even if Lakers lost in Game 1 remember that this team is well built and they have the best players on the league. So game 2 between Wolves and Lakers would be another exciting match to watch.

But lets see since somehow its good to see if OKC and Wolves will meet since we provably could see if ANT could able to defeat OKC or the other will totally dominate this season and became a champion.

Before the series started, I knew, and others knew, that OKC would beat the Grizzlies in this series. That was to be expected, and possibly even a sweep. But a 51-point difference? What was that? LOL. I didn’t expect that. Ja got no help. Aside from Bagley, who scored 17 points, same with him, no one else on the team even scored in double digits. They only had 6 3s compared to 17 from OKC. OKC also had twice the assists of Memphis. Damn, it was really a blowout. OKC even set a franchise record.

As expected, it’s a massacre because Grizzlies has no defense team while OKC is pretty solid both offense and defense. The reason why OKC is being underrated as top seed because of their last year performance.

I’m sure everyone that is doubtful about their performance this playoffs will now started to believe on this solid team.

OKC is so intense from start to finish leaving Grizzlies can’t overcome the offense of OKC.

The Rockets are now leading the Houston Rockets, end of the first half. It was a defensive game between the two team. Lots of turnovers but the experience of Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry are showing in this game.

And the Warriors are the slight underdog in this fight, and it looks like many of us here could have put their bet on the Warriors to win this game one. Although still a lot of basketball in the second half, but the Warriors looks relaxed in this game, away from their homecourt.

There you go. The Warriors take the first game against the Rockets. Although they’re lacking in points in the paint, they’re making up for it with their 3s, which is what they’re known for. They’re also lacking in rebounds, the Rockets grabbed 22 offensive boards.

The Rockets even caught up, from a 23-point lead by the Warriors down to just 3. They almost caught up again when VanVleet hit a 3 and cut the lead to 4 with under 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter. I thought it was going to be a close game from that point, but then Moody answered with a 3 as well, a much needed shot.

I almost thought GSW would choke. LOL.

I stopped watching till the 3rd quarter, although during that time they are making a comeback as the Warriors already established 20 point lead, I doubt that the Rockets will able to comeback from that with the way they played.

As you have said, Green the supposedly leader of the Rockets, but in this game he was check by Moody and when he goes inside, he will be met by anyone in the middle and so he makes changes on his shot and missed it.

Warriors are up 1-0 in this series.

The good thing about the Rockets team is that they have a solution towards Green's inconsistency through other role players. Players like Brooks, VanVleet, Smith Jr, Whitmore, and Eason are averaging double-digits this regular season and that's enough to cover Green's bad night. It's just that the Warriors are simply more experienced and is playing better in Game 1.

It's a low scoring game indeed, but they can't stop the duo of Butler and Curry. I mean just imagine having a player that can up his performance one notch during the playoffs (Butler) and aside from him, you have an opponent that's considered the "Greatest shooter in NBA History". How can you defend those 2? Yes, they manage to let Curry only score 3 points in their final meeting in the regular season, but this is playoffs already, and we know that at some point, Curry will just explode just like what happened in Game 1.

The Rockets might be young, and has talent and more athletic, but nothing of that matters if you're inexperienced in playoffs. We've seen it against the Thunder last year, and now we will be seeing it again with the Rockets. I will not be surprised if this will end in 5 games, but most likely it will be Warriors in 6.
