I got the starting 5 I wanted. If it doesn’t work I can’t complain.

Shots need to start falling.Dallas getting much better looks and hitting the hard shots. We look stuck in the mud.

Re: OKC Thunder 2023-24 Regular Season Discussion
bad shooting night once again.
Didn't like some Shai's decisions...passing the ball to Dort way too much.
Gonna need JDub to step up, he looks terrible.

They need to stop driving into multiple players camping in the paint. Drive, kick and shoot.

They’ve done a better job to start the second half but none of that matters since the shots aren’t falling.

Missing shots.... playing....decent defensively at times but they can't win like this.
Cheers

Re: OKC Thunder 2023-24 Regular Season Discussion
i wish the only problem was only missing shots
in the first half they were afraid to even take the shots
really odd game

Credit to Dallas. We have shai and everyone else around him shrank.

Re: OKC Thunder 2023-24 Regular Season Discussion
offense too slow, hesitant to shoot and improductive in transition
waiting for the defeat to be confirmed but this is a fair loss

Taking emotion out of it, I still don’t see anyway we win this series, or even game six for that matter.

Giddey outscored Joe and Wallace combined, grabbed as many boards as both combined and had 2 assists to both guys zero...OUCH!!!
Yep...changing that starting lineup sure paid dividends.

We desperatly need a consistent #2 scorer. It can't be just Shai. Was really hoping Jdub would step up but this series seems to be too big for him. Dissappointed that Dort turned into the bad dort on offense today but. Gotta give Dallas defense credit. Completely took us out of our game as we can't get anything at the rim all series.
Proud of this team. Excited to see what happens in the offseason. Will be quite dissapointed if Presti turns the cap space into a couple of 2nd round picks again.

They’re still trying to find driving lanes that have not been there all series. It’s just agonizing watching this Mickey Mouse offense in the playoffs.

If you gonna jab step and get a fly by from the arc, TAKE THE FREAKING SHOT!!!
...and make sure someone is boxing out to contest the offensive board.

Who is boxing out DJJ, Lively, and Gafford? This is what you get with a team full of guards.

Exactly!!!
Need a big guy who can shift bodies and ain't afraid to bang hard. That aint Homegrown's game...
J-Will ain't that guy either, and if he's not draining 3's then at least see if Biz can get the Mavs bigs off their spots and outta rhythm.
