Willie is not a smart man.

Good catch. Play through JV kick out to open shooters

Giddey isn't the issue, he's hesitating because of the backside help from Chet.

Also would be nice if Trey could take Josh freaking Giddey off the dribble to the rack just once.

He's tried 4 or 5 times and he can't do anything with Giddey.


He still moves around with some baby giraffe qualities. I was hoping he would've grown out of that by now.

Let me rephrase, the gap is not that large between these two teams.

Things I don't get. Literally every time we posted Val, OKC doubled. So explain why we wouldn't post Val every single halfcourt set? Instead we go BI iso to take the highly contested 19 footers.



You know why, it's Willie Green.

Zion not only is a nightmare matchup for OKC, he would make everyone else’s job so much easier. BI and CJ wouldn’t have to initiate as much. Shooters would have one more foot of space. Damnit it’s depressing.

The West can be strong and OKC be a relatively weak 1 seed. Imo there is not a huge difference between 1-8 this year.

OKC was very healthy this season, just like Sacramento last season

After he tries to fight free for ten seconds then dribbles for ten more then chunks a patented fall away contested mid range.

If we keep OKC from a big run we win game. OKC is young and feeds off the crowd.

Lol no it can't.

Just because there isn't a huge difference between 1-8 doesn't mean 1 isn't strong.

That's fair.

Though I'd say I'd agree but not with no Zion.

The thing I hate most about the BI offense

We telegraph what we're doing and make it look SO HARD to simply get him the ball.

I would like the Pels to win this game.

I do not think both of those statements can be true.

The way refs aren’t calling fouls inside Ai think Zion wouldn’t be affective. OKC would be hacking away.

Is OKC, as a #1 seed, expected to win the title this year?

Typically, #1 seeds are favored to at least get to the finals. I don’t believe OKC is. If they are, it’s slim.

I have a feeling OKC would have drawn like 2-3 offensive fouls on Zion

Because they've noticed the number of times our stagnant-arse offense has run the shot clock down to 7 seconds and then kicked the ball back to a closely guarded CJ and said "Do something."
