For the second straight season, the Thunder have begun their playoff journey with a first round sweep.
Just ask the Grizzlies about that.
And while getting swept is always tough, I do respect the Grizzlies for at least going down swinging.
The Thunder definitely had to earn this sweep between the comeback the other day and today’s win.
Just as they have all season.
For OKC, their playoffs don’t truly start yet.
That’s about as cold a dagger as you’re going to find.
On the road, to end a season, with a move that is virtually unguardable.
Credit where credit is due, that move rocked.
That’s why you’re “The Guy”, for moments and buckets just like that.
Take the next few days and regroup/get healthy and hope to be better in Round 2.
For the Grizzlies, once Ja went down, we knew where this series was headed.
As soon as they let Game 3 officially slip away, today was a formality.
Both things have been massive issues for the Grizzlies all year, and today it ended their season.
As to who OKC will see in the next round, that’s still very much to be determined.
