NBA Playoffs 2014: A Game of Mental Chess with Tony Allen and Kevin Durant
Much of the postseason in professional sports is based around posturing and getting into the heads of your opponents. Do the Memphis Grizzlies play this game? I think the answer is affirmative, and we should start seeing how that plays out tomorrow night in Memphis. My intuitive gut, still full from BBQ nachos from last week's 3SOB/GBB Watch Party, is telling me that the Grizzlies could be ready to morph into a different animal - perhaps a Kodiak Bear. Kevin Durant's competitiveness is well documented. Whether he's plunging forward in the playoffs or racking up absurd stats during the...

Thunder Film Room Study: Why has Tony Allen been so effective against Kevin Durant?
Anthony Slater[img]2498966[/img] As Kevin Durant rose from the bench to reenter Monday night’s game midway through the second quarter, Memphis coach Dave Joerger took a gander down the scorer’s table and saw the superstar forward coming right at him. So immediately, Joerger flipped around and made his counter move, whistling for the defensive stopper who has turned this first-round series on its head. For the past two games and the next two weeks, wherever Kevin Durant goes, so does Tony Allen.Read more on NewsOK.com

Recap: Late rally falls shorts as Thunder drops Game 2 to Grizzlies in overtime, 111-105
The Thunder came back from the dead to force overtime, thanks to an absurd shot by Kevin Durant, but the Grizzlies kept punching back and took Game 2 on the road. Box Score | Grizzly Bear Blues via @JDonSports There's your highlight. In what was a truly memorable game - thanks largely to that ridiculous fallaway four-point play by Kevin Durant - the Memphis Grizzlies somehow still had an answer no matter how many punches the Oklahoma City Thunder threw, prevailing 111-105 in OT. Memphis led nearly throughout regulation (except for a short span in the third quarter) and seemed to be...

Oklahoma City Thunder: Kevin Durant scores 33 points in Game 1 win over Grizzlies
By Darnell Mayberry, Staff writerKevin Durant found the freedom he was missing a year ago while Russell Westbrook was missing, and the Thunder found it much less difficult to tangle with the Memphis Grizzlies. Durant scored a game-high 33 points with eight rebounds and seven assists to lead Oklahoma City to a wire-to-wire 100-86 win over the Grizzlies in Game 1 on Saturday night inside Chesapeake Energy Arena. The Thunder led by as many as 25 points and held off a late rally to maintain home-court advantage in this best-of-seven series. Westbrook, who missed last year’s semifinal series...
