With the loss of Westbrook to injury, things will be very tough for OKC in this round against one of if not the best defense in the league. Gasol & Z-Bo are the best front court in the league, so OKC's Ibaka and Perkins will have their hands full trying to slow them down. OKC will need steady contributions for Kevin Martin and Ibaka to make up for the loss of Westbrook. I expect Durant to continue his spectactular play, but I dont expect it to be enough to outlast a hot Grizzlies team. Give me the Grizzlies in 6 games over OKC.

Memphis will need to tidy up if they want to put OKC out. They could cause a 'shock', but I think OKC will take this in five or six.

Kevin Durant in an elimination game at home goes 5-21 with 7 turnovers, including a miss at the end of the game that would have tied the game up. I figured this thread would have blown up with people discussing Durant's lack of clutch play, like we see all the time anytime that a certain other 4 time MVP has a poor shooting night (even in a win), but I see nothing about that here.
