I find this part interesting based on the recap. Seems we are missing something.


https://www.espn.com/nba/recap/_/gameId/401734908
The Thunder are 20-1 this season when leading after three quarters. They're now 0-5 when tied or trailing going into the final quarter (even though it will officially be 0-4 since this game won't be counted).

He's just too young for such important role. This game against Bucks is another example of having so many young players without much experience.

Right now Joe is a mess and he's our best shooter. Without lightning shooter, Shai and JDub can't do their things, offense is then very one dimensional.

Dort, Cason and Caruso are not very good shooters. Even if they have some streches were they hit shots, you can't rely on that in playoff.

Conclusion is that we need one very good player for starting five who is either proven excellent shooter or someone like Herb Jones who will elevate our defense on even higher levels.

I'm not afraid of Bucks because they can't stay healthy and Celtics have their number.

What the F*** is happening with JWIL? He is still out with an hamstring injurie. That makes already more than 2 month. I don't understand.

That’s what I have been saying 2 months with a hamstring strain something else is going on and we severely need his production.

Hamstring injuries can take a while. They can range in severity significantly and can flare back up if you return to action too quickly. I’m glad we are taking a conservative approach.

I think, it is a little bit strange that the franchise don't mention more details of his injury. Also the Medias are real quite about it.

That's pretty common nowadays. The Clippers drug their feet saying Kawhi had an ACL tear. There really isn't any reason for teams to share injury info other than to satisfy our curiosity.

a game that leaves me guessing: why the **** wiggins played just 3 minutes in the nba cup final?

another terrible decision making by mike d on a decisive series.

We need more offensively from J Dub and I'm not sure he's going to be able to consistently give it to us.

The price is too high and 1 season too long for me . Prefer 15-17m for 3 seasons.

Has info come out on the structure of the contract? I wouldn't be surprised if it's front ended like Wiggins and Joe's contracts are.

FINALLY: I'm glad he will be back. We needed a real backup for Hartenstein.

For me the price is ok. The only concern I have with Alex is his healthy. The kind of his play is however injury dangerous.
