The Memphis Grizzlies hopes no less than a win and save their season when they play host to the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6 of their best of seven second round National Basketball Association playoff series on Friday evening.Down 3-2 to the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder in their NBA playoff match-up, the Memphis Grizzlies is hoping to win Game 6 and force a deciding Game 7 in Oklahoma City.
Despite being down in the series, the Memphis Grizzlies is still picked to win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6 since this all-important game will be played in Memphis.Beating the young and athletic Oklahoma City Thunder team is not easy it needs total team effort on the part of the home-team Memphis Grizzlies.
To bring down the Thunder and force a rubber match, the Grizzlies need to play superb offence and tough defense against their opponent.The Grizzlies must also do their best to limit the point production of Thunder superstars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in this game to win.
If the Grizzlies will be successful in slowing down both Durant and Westbrook in this game they have a big chance of beating the Thunder in their scheduled NBA playoff game.Thunder superstar power-forward Zach Randolph and young center Marc Gasol also need to score and rebound big for their team to defeat the Thunder.
Randolph and Gasol who both had a bad performance in Game 5 need to assert more in this game to carry their team to victory against the Thunder.The odds of winning is on the side of the Grizzlies all they have to do is to play smart and with focus and determination come game-time.
The visiting Thunder on the other-side of the coin will be for a tough challenge in closing out the Grizzlies.To topple the home-team Grizzlies Durant and Westbrook must do their best to score big for their team.The Thunder also need to play solid defense in 48 minutes to defeat the Grizzlies.
The bench of the Thunder also need to contribute big numbers for the team to defeat the Grizzlies in this game.The odds of winning might not be on the side of the Thunder but the team can still win this game if they can come up with a good game-plan and execute it well on game day.
