I’ve seen this idea from tons of smart people and it’s frankly crazy to me to decide that these guys would only get credit for the offensive rating and not the defensive rating. Not having a weak link to attack is *so* important in today’s NBA, and so is being scheme versatile on defense.

It was really insane. They did Jokic elbow, endless talk about Aaron Gordon, then Windy makes a quick mention of OKC being impressive while Bontemps wonders if OKC role players can make threes in the playoffs. Rusillo was great on this point: “well, that’s the league right?”

It sounds crazy, but Ajay Mitchell basically was that guy before he got hurt. He should’ve gotten even more opportunities than he did before the injury. If you pair him with Shai and Dub in a closing lineup, he would absolutely kill it playmaking from the second side.

I would say that effort has always been an issue, it was just much worse last season than previously. I expect him to be pretty good, but he will definitely infuriate OU fans at times by playing passively and disappearing.

The GOAT. Between this episode, the Dr. Phil one, the smoking episode, the real crane… iconic.

Honestly, my biggest worry coming out of this game is Mark Daigneault’s coaching in big games, which I never expected to say. He got legit outcoached by Doc Rivers in this one, got thoroughly outcoached by Jason Kidd in the playoffs. He’s made some really weird choices.

Defensively however, I thought they were kinda bad! Mark not going to Dort on Giannis despite Giannis dominating early was quite puzzling. The rotations and communication also just weren’t nearly as crisp as we’ve come to expect, and it wasn’t a great plan to begin with.

Furthermore, OKC won J Dub’s minutes in this game without Shai at a +12. So the “need another creator” argument falls flat for me here. In the playoffs, you’re always going to have 2 of Shai, Chet, iHart, and Dub on the floor, which is going to really juice the bench lineups.

J Dub got sped up a couple times on drives to the rim and clanged shots off the backboard, but he also missed several middies and open catch and shoot 3s that he usually makes. I don’t think this game was like the Mavs series for him where he was more reticent to shoot.
