Game 7 Forecast

The Thunder and Grizzlies go at it for a trip to the Western Conference Finals in a couple of minutes. After Kevin Durant's 11 point game on Friday, he will look to redeem himself. The two men that will have to play well for the Thunder are Kendrick Perkins and Nick Collison. Perkins has not put up that big numbers throughout the Playoffs but I expect him to come out with a chip on his shoulder. Nick Collison has to come off the bench and cover Zach Randolph, which is never easy. Although he will take up a lot of energy on defense I think he will put up big numbers on the offensive side. Mike Conley Jr. will outplay Russel Westbrook at the PG position but it will not be enough. In the end, the Thunder will move on to play the Mavs. The stars are coming out today when the Thunder and Grizzlies take the floor.
