These has been the best series this round. They are so evenly matched. It's great for the NBA because it wasn't just Lakers-Mavs and Heat-Celtics that were worth watching. Who would have thought that Thunder-Grizzlies would have been this great?

I would watch a show called Thunder Grizzlies...

It's in the works. A reality weight loss show featuring Jillian Michaels and Sarah Palin teaming up on Bryant Reeves.

Four of the Thunder's best players are 22 or younger.

Yeah, Jason Kidd's rookie year was what, 94-95? Durant, Westbrook, Serge and Harden were toddlers.

I'm glad the old guys on the Mavs got some time to rest up, but nine days between games is an awfully long time. We'll see if they come out a little rusty tomorrow night. Should be a good series.
