It would be a finals at break neck speed to be honest, both teams play at stupid paces. It's just that the Thunder have a ton of defenders to stop a lot of the screen action in the half court.

there is some stat I don't remember where I saw it...but Caruso is legit unscreenable.

At least we have the decency to lose in close soul crushing fashion instead of getting blown out.

I think we take it to six too.

Gonna head back to indy with some juice and theyre gonna be real tight trying to close it out.

Whats clear is that your defensive players need to be aggressive and greedy. Our 2 wings are too passive.

OKC has put on a complete masterclass with how they're guarding Ant. No matter who's out there they're in his chest, making him work like crazy just to get a shot off.

Wonder where Randle will end up next year.

Why would he even want to come back here? I don't think they'll move him unless it's for KD or something like that, his deal is good value.

Dumb franchise. The anti=Ainge.

Man it must be nice having a coach that was born in the 80s who understands modern basketball

I kinda feel like Ant let all that Jordan talk get to his head.

Yeah there's no beating these guys.

Not with how we are presently constructed. Even if Indiana beats us, they're gonna get swept

Everyone was like blah blah blah they're so young.

You don't end up with the best SRS ever without being really really really good.

For the record, Daigs made some errors vs Denver too.
