ZBO being out is a good thing. At this point in the series throwing 4 smalls out there and working around Gasol is a better option anyway. If ZBO isn't scoring downlow then him and Allen make the court too small.
When you are the inferior team, a monkeywrench can work in your favor sometimes in a spot like this.

Congrats on moving on. Helluva series. Love the Griz but we just had a little too much to overcome. With a 7 game series, it's really difficult to pull an upset. Although the Griz weren't a typical 7 seed (better than their record because of injuries), the better team generally moves on in a 7 game series. The Thunder were a little better.
Memphis has never been a good matchup for OKC for as long as I remember. But like KD said after the game, Memphis really missed Z-Bo. Without him it pretty much took them out of their gameplan. I didn't think he would be missed quite as much as he was. Allen also looked a little lethargic tonight. He's usually a headache for KD. But I guess he had a headache of his own...
