NBA ROUND 2 LIVE BLOG


1:02 - hubie brown is 2 months away from his nose falling off, his face becoming a bit more gaunt, and speaking entirely in puns. HE MY CRYPTKEEPER

1:07 - z-bo got the prettiest, ugly offense i've ever seen.

1:08 - Z BO BARRELING DOWN THE LANE. he's got 7 points, the thunder have 4. ONE MAN GANG ONE MAN GANG

1:11 - good to see that kp43 still wraps his hands in granite before every game

1:12 - i'm just kidding kendrick. daddy misses you

1:15 - is green lantern going to be all outer-space fighting or will i get some shirtless ryan reynolds as well?

1:19 - LIL B AS TONY STARK 2014

1:23 - is there any nice way to say that a brother looks like he shops at tj maxx? cause i don't have many kind words to say about his basketball ability, but shane battier looks like he's REAL good at tennis.


1:28 - AT THE END OF 1, GRIZZLIES = 28, THUNDER = 24, GREIVIS VASQUEZ = LOSER

1:34 - DAEQUAN COOK IS STILL IN THE NBA?!

1:38 - oooooh, oj the juiceman with the FINE take AND 1. grizzlies looking like they're on some 'we are marshall' shit so far

1:42 - someone get james harden some ciabatta rolls. looks like a sad dad

1:45 - smoov' sam young with a nice putback and memphis up 11 early on. but hey, at least oklahoma city still has ______

1:50 - all z-bo do is grab weakside boards ALL DAY LONG

1:52 - SAM YOUNG WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SHOT?! HERO

1:57 - westbrook has already entered into "huck it" mode. fastest guy on the court BY FAR and he settles for 14 foot jumpers

1:58 - MIKE CONLEY 25 FOOT BOUNCE PASS FUCK HAVE MY BABIES

2:02 - YOU CAN NOT STOP MIKE CONLEY! HE WILL PUT THAT BALL INTO THE SQUARE OF YOUR BACK AND GET FREE THROWS FOR IT

2:04 - "I MEAN, WE FEEL GOOD. WE GOT YOUNG GUYS. THEY SHOULDN'T EVER BE TIRED" - ZACH RANDOLPH

2:05 - grizzlies up 10, 57 - 47, at halftime. quick thoughts on the first half - 1. if memphis can keep hitting jump shoots, tell me why they can't win the nba title this year? 2. everyone praises OKC for being young, fast and athletic, but save for westbrook, durant, and maybe SERGE IBLOCKA, memphis is younger, faster and more athletic than everyone on OKC. 3. HELLO? KENDRICK PERKINS? YOU THERE, BUDDY? YOU WANNA START PLAYING DEFENSE ON Z-BO OR DO... UH... ANYTHING OF NOTE?

2:16 - strong proponent of abc using 'thunderoad' as bumper music. STRONG PROPONENT


2:25 - fuuuuuuuuck, that cover of 'black dog' is the worst thing i've ever heard and they just keep playing it over and over and over and over and

2:27 - all mike tirico talks about is how "russell westbrook can't finish at the rim." UNLIKE MIKE TIRICO, WHO TOLD A GIRL THAT, IF HE WAS SINGLE, HE WAS GOING TO THROW HER ON A TABLE AND FUCK HER BRAINS OUT

2:28 - http://deadspin.com/#!191242/here-are-those-tirico-stories-we-hinted-at-last-week

2:30 - FUCK TONY ALLEN WITH THE SPIDERMAN STEAL. thunder down 3 with z-bo heading to the line for 2

2:32 - Z-BO! SO MANLY! MEMPHIS BACK UP 7

2:35 - the last few minutes of the game has turned into zach randolph vs. kevin durant. HONEY DEW DONUTS VS. PANERA BREAD

2:42 - "every team should have at least 3 or 4 nick collisons" - hubie brown

2:43 - 2 minutes and change to go in the 3rd, memphis up 9, Z-BO with 26 points already. someone get that man a fucking towel

2:46 - IBLOCKA'S GOT 14 BLOCKS IN THE PAST 7 QUARTERS WHAT THE FUCK

2:50 - 9-0 memphis run to finish the quarter at they're up 13 points as we go to the 4th. HEY THUNDER, PRO TIP : GUARD THE STUPID LOOKING BIG GUYS ON MEMPHIS. DOESN'T MATTER WHICH RACE YOU CHOOSE, JUST GUARD THEM

2:58 - all the grizzlies with a positive "plus-minus" EXCEPT tony allen. OOPS!

3:01 - WHO THE FUCK IS DARRELL AURTHUR? I PLAYED FANTASY BASKETBALL. I KNOW MOST OF THE NBA. WHO THE FUCK IS DARRELL AURTHUR?

3:09 - c'mon memphis, don't forget who brought you to the dance. feed the ball to z-bo

3:13 - STOP HITTING MARC IN THE FACE. don't want that boy to be any uglier than he already is. dude is reppin' a 18 and 10, though.

3:17 - the thunder have officially entered in "european basketball mode". aka flopping. every fucking possession

3:19 - i think russell westbrook has to be the most frustrating player in the nba. 8 for 21, 13 missed jumpers. HEY BRAY, YOU GOT KEVIN DURANT ON YOUR TEAM. JUST GIVE HIM THE BALL EVERY TIME DOWN THE COURT

3:24 - side note : FUCK YOU BOBBY JENKS  


3:26 - timeout on the floor, memphis up 11, 106 - 95. z-bo has 31 and 11 and is my favorite man

3:32 - memphis is going to win this one. first 8 seed to ever win the first game of their next series. i've been preaching it all day, but, really Z-BO

3:35 - he and gasol combine for 50 and 22. WOWZERS. memphis wins by 13, 114 - 101. this is going to be a real good series, mainly if westbrook starts hitting his shots. while westbrook was a glaring fault today, the thunder are going to have to get some production out of perkins and/or harden as well. IBLOCKA is a beast, no doubt, and durant will always get his, but the jeff green trade was to both showcase harden more (who shit the bed) and, obviously, acquire perkins (who only put up 2 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist but somehow felt even more useless) and they both contributed nothing. if memphis continues to dictate the flow of the game via turnovers and fast-break points, along with hitting their jumpers, they're taking the series in 6.

EITHER WAY FUCK BOBBY JENKS AND THE MIAMI HEAT
