I mean, they played that last possession great, KD shut it down, just unlucky AF that the block went DIRECTLY to Markannen at the basket.


Yeah of course they played it fine. But we had 2 timeouts left and those guys are better defenders than gordon. small thing but sometimes it can matter.


Yup. And it would also send the message of playing with urgency. That every possession matters.

At least Gordon is having success when he's actually shooting AT the three point line rather than three feet behind it.

We are actually running a secondary action in much of this OT and it's working (until the 2 minute left possession). Amazing stuff

George should get at least a few flopping fines tonight.

I will also say for Gordon it's amazing that his effort improves when he scores. As like a 20 year NBA vet I didn't expect him to need to score / get shots to be engaged.

We have gotten away from the offense again and are getting into the primary action too late, leaving Book or KD to heave at end of clock.

Gordon has to shoot that layup there. He made the right call to drive but KD bailed us out there

That Durant shot and make was fortunate and timely, but it shouldn't have even come to him throwing it up. People seem afraid to shoot it and want to defer to Booker or Durant every time. That's dumb.

We are up 3 with 10.5 seconds left. This better be our best defensive lineup

Low IQ play. Why would you shoot a 3 there

We need to hit something here low into the clock. Or send DB or KD to the stripe.

We should have had Bol Bol, Nurkic, Metu, Okogie, and KD in and just put their hands straight up at the three point line.

Don't understand the intentional foul there.I don't think KD agreed with it either.I could hear him say "Let's see if we can get a stop!"

Don't really care for the foul with 10.5 seconds left. I hate the FT game.
