MEMPHIS – In an NBA world of teams at times playing four guards at the same time and no centers, the Memphis Grizzlies are an anomaly. The way the Thunder’s roster is set up, it can match up with any variation that it sees on the court.
Tonight against the formidable frontcourt of Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, the Thunder will once again do battle against one of the most physical, traditional basketball teams in the last few decades of NBA basketball. Averaging 30.3 points and 16.1 rebounds per game, the duo of All-Star big men that Memphis rolls out can beat teams up on the boards and generate devastating amounts of second chance points.
