Thunder can absolutely win the series. People are upset because they haven't played an attractive brand of basketball; used to seeing them dominate on the offensive end. That's going to be hard to do against the Grizz. But that doesn't mean they can't still grind out 3 more wins. Thunder are also a very good defensive team, so they're capable of winning a slugfest.
I'm happy the Grizz are up 2-1, but I also feel good that they can play better, especially when trying to close out games at the end of regulation. ZBo has to be a bit more efficient and Gasol has to be engaged at the end of the game.

Dont get me wrong. The Grizz are part of it. I just know the system holds the Thunder back.
The Thunder are a more talented team. The Grizz are a better TEAM.
