Teams that have guards who are willing to rebound have crushed us so many times. These little dudes just skying out of nowhere without a body on them snatching balls out of the sky has been an Achilles heel for years now.

We better win this challenge. There is no compelling reason at all to change the call.

Wonder what it’s like to have a coach who challenges calls.

Finch has been really good on challenges this year along with a good success rate. It's one of the few things you can't knock him for.

Thunder's offense is making me envious with how they keep moving the ball to find open shooters. They got lots of guards and wings who can knock down shots. We sorely need another one or two.

It's a tough balancing act against OKC. How much help to SGA and not let them should open 3? Sometimes it's better to give up the two.

I’m not knocking him for his success rate. I’m knocking him for having the nuts to challenge questionable calls.

Caution on when to challenge is wise. You have to know, know, know you are going to win the challenge before using it.

That shouldn’t even be a foul. SGA did a right leg jab into McD

I'm getting really tired of Jaden's constant fouling, he is becoming useless in big moments with this.

HUGE three by Anthony Edwards!

Unfortunately, OKC has endless snipers.

So far I am pretty happy with our performance. I think the Thunder are just a better team right now and they have more weapons with their shooters. Tough to get this without Mike but Jmac has been great.

Why are we challenging a play with .5 sec on the shot clock?
