Wednesday, May 15 Lionel Hollins currently complaining about Durant lowering his shoulder to clear space. Something feels ironic about this.
The lack of movement opposite the ball by the Thunder is downright embarrassing and truly a disservice to Kevin Durant.
One of my favorite things: A foul is called, the crowd boos like crazy, their player raises his hand claiming the foul, and they fade out.
That's EXACTLY what Reggie Jackson needs to do if the Grizzlies are going to leave Arthur on him.
Are the Grizzlies really about to have Darrell Arthur cover Reggie Jackson? And is the Thunder really about to allow them to get away w/ it?
It's weak, but honestly, OKC's bigs really need to deploy flopping tactics against Z-Bo. When he shoves and drops his shoulder, fall down.
Barons score 5 goals in the third period, four goals the final six minutes. Incredible turn around. Barons lead series 3-1.#okcbarons
Rarely see Nick Collison this frustrated. He's getting called for every little thing and didn't get a call when he thought he was pushed.
Nick Collison exits the floor after picking up a third foul, and was as upset as I've ever seen him with ref Danny Crawford.
Barons win 7-3 to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-7 series. Game 5 Thursday night at Cox Convention Center.#okcbarons
Nick Collison to Marc Davis right now about that foul: "Marc! What's he doing to me? What's he doing to me?"
KD's not coming out to start the second quarter. Could be headed for the full 48 tonight. Or close to.
Ibaka and Durant starting the second period, too. Brooks sticking with his big guns for this win-or-go-home game. Can't blame him.
Another strong start for Serge Ibaka. He's got nine points and five rebounds. Ibaka and Durant played the entire first quarter.
After one, the Thunder leads the Grizzlies 23-18. Durant has just four points on 1-for-8 shooting and the Thunder is ahead by five.
Those last two plays basically summarize the last three games quite well. Just not going OKC's way.
Head-to-head, @Russell Westbrook leads Mike Conley in wins (10-7), scoring (18.8-13.7), assists (6.7-5.5) and rebounds (4.8-3.3). #ifrusscouldplay
Taylor Fedun scores on a 35-foot rebound with 5:36 left. Barons on verge of 3-1 series lead if they can close it out.#okcbarsons
7:25 left in 3rd period. Barons tied with Stars 3-3. Barons lead best-of-7 series 2-1.#okcbarons
Barons No. 4 line gets a goal to tie Texas Stars 3-3 with 13:08 left. Barons lead series 2-1.#okcbarons
Thunder daring Tony Allen and Tayshaun Prince to shoot tonight. Subtle adjustment. No more flying out and biting on pump fakes.
Stars still lead Barons 3-2 with 15 minutes left. Barons go on power play. OKC has outshot Texas 34-25.#okcbarons
Black brace protecting @Thabo Sefolosha's left hand gets pre-game approval from refs to be worn.
Stars score late 2nd period to take a 3-2 lead after two periods. Barons lead best-of-7 series 2-1.#okcbarons
Barons get lucky. Arcobello leves penalty box and puck sitting there for breakaway. 4th straight game Arco has scored Tied 2-2.#okcbarons
Stars score a power play goal. Texas leads 2-1. If trend continues Barons lose. OKC is 5-0 not allowing a PP goal, 0-3 when allow PP goal.
Danis streak ends. Stars score with 13:11 left 2nd period. Tied 1-1. Barons lead series 2-1.#okcbarons
Barons goalie Yann Danis 5 straight scoreless periods. Danis has stopped 184 of last 190 shots in last 6 playoff games.#okcbarons
C.J. Stretch, moving to No. 2 line because of Anton Lander injury, scores early 2nd period. Barons up 1-0. Barons lead series 2-1#okcbarons
Thunder guard Thabo Sefolosha warmed up with a brace on his left wrist after injuring it in Game 4. Says he's good to go though.
Scott Brooks said his message to his team is to "enjoy this moment." Wrong. They need to FEEL this moment.
This Pixar movie sounds lame. MT @sactownroyalty: Stern is extremely animated now while discussing things with this small group of owners.

Tuesday, May 14 With OKC down 3-1 people are talking about the Thunder trading Harden again. It's not him who they miss: dailythunder.com/2013/05/how-mu…

Same story again for the Thunder as they fail to close and fall behind 3-1 -- recap and notes: dailythunder.com/2013/05/play-i…
OKC's three playoff exits: Lost to the Lakers (champs), lost to Dallas (champs), lost to Miami (champs). Grizz need one more to win it all.
The Thunder haven't lost four straight games since 2008-09, their first season. Except for one other time -- the 2012 NBA Finals.
Just sitting here thinking about how good of a basketball player Russell Westbrook is, for no reason at all.
Thunder fall behind 3-1, 103-97. KD with 27-7-7, Ibaka with 17 and 14, Martin with 18. OKC outscored 9-3 in overtime.
OKC Barons: Martin Marincin's two assists contribute to Barons' 4-0 playoff victory bit.ly/168BnXl
Final score: Grizzlies 103, Thunder 97. Memphis takes a 3-1 series lead. Game 5 is Wednesday night in OKC.
The ball sits in the paint, three Thunder players stand and watch Z-Bo pick it up and put it back in.
Guys, guys. Don't bother watching the first two overtimes. This thing's headed for three. #2011
Well that was tremendous defense from Perk. Why you don't run pick-and-roll with Conley though, I do not know.
Looking forward to Nick Collison somehow being called for his seventh foul from the bench, and Z-Bo makes two free throws to win.
That was @kdtrey5's first trip to the foul line other than shooting a technical in first half.
