Random NBA Observations 2014 - 2015

Based on what?
Zbo who was shooting 45% TS was supposed to save them in a game 7 in OKLAHOMA? Like he did in 2011 when KD dropped 39 to close out the series along with a Westbrook Triple double, AGAIN? We put those dudes in a coffin like we usually do.
In 2014 Gasol, Randolph and Conley all shot below 49% TS. Even Tony Allen shot 53% TS for the series, when Tony Allen scores better than 3 of your premier players you know they struggled.
Got sonned at home in an elimination game 6,when they had their chance to win.
Don't even need to explain game 7.
Keyword: Role player.
That's all he is, yet currently he's the Grizzlies #2 option on the perimeter, whereas Danny Green was the #4 option for the Spurs. Yet you're telling me Memphis' need for a wing who can 'create off the dribble' is overstated when they only have ONE guard/wing that can create his shot?
Spurs also won because they had THREE wing stars throughout the playoffs that come through when they needed them to. Memphis' chances are all on Conley to come through, and judging by his past playoff performances, things don't look too bright. Memphis have the front-court scoring covered, ain't no doubt about that, it's what little they have behind them that's the problem.
But why has every team failed to get over that 'wall'? And what have those teams done to best improve their chances of getting over it? Memphis hasn't added any significant wing pieces nor has any of their role players taken their games to a new level that would warrant a suggestion that they didn't need one.
Dallas, OKC and GS either have their stars nearing their primes or/and have added enough talent to their rosters to compete.
Problem is Grizz don't have enough offensive talent to compliment their defense.

Grizz blew Game 4 at home
They win Game 5 at OKC
Game 6 isn't necessary if Reggie Jackson's fluke shot don't go in
I thought we already went through this? If Brooks adjusted earlier like he did later in the series, it would have been over in 5-6 games in favor of OKC.

Brooks is a lesser coach than Joerger
Joerger will outcoach him next time they matchup.
Strong "luck shot". Reggie shot 48% from 3 in that series and was cooking that entire game.
Just like OKC Blew most of the OTs?
Game 5 isn't necessary if Butler was inserted into the lineup before game 6.
Brooks isn't a good coach breh
Just like in he did in 2014, right? Too bad Rivers didn't outcoach Brooks in the 2nd round either.
How do you lose to Durant playing like trash, Westbrook shooitng 46% TS, Thabo and Perkins playing the worse ball they have ever played in their careers, and expect to beat them the next year?
Cause the defense of MEM is still there
And Joerger is growing as an NBA coach. He's won everywhere else too
Yo word?
You act like OKC's Offense and Defense disappeared? Most likely our defense and offense will be better than last year.
