Re: OKC Thunder 2023-24 Regular Season Discussion
Man this offense is infuriating
Giddey at least has the mentality to shoot when he's open even though he's not going to make it.. meanwhile everyone else is hesitating and letting the Mavs defense catch back up. Shai has to just go for it himself. 15-20 shots and hopefully 6-10 FT's alongside them.

Jdub is either injured or worse than I thought

being afraid to shoot from 3 now is pathetic

I think the Mavs are just more willing to chase Thunder around the court and deny space than any teams were in the regular season. Kind of showing how gimmicky the offense really is.

This game is so winnable but the moment is too big for everyone but SGA

Re: OKC Thunder 2023-24 Regular Season Discussion
mark daigneault is scott brooks with a larger vocabulary. the difference in this game right now is the -8 stint put up by the starters. the difference in game three was the starters. and the difference in game two was almost the starters. this is exactly like the 2012 finals. the thunder have outscored the mavs in all other minutes just like they did against the miami heat. it is bewildering how in this critical game four they did not make the change that everyone with sense knew they needed to make. the thunder are +7 in the third quarter in this game and guess what? the starters were never on the court. it is not a coincidence.
this is why you don't shower coaches with praise before they have encountered any resistance. daigneault is riding a talent wave provided to him by sam presti just like scott brooks did before him. he's nothing special right now.

Wild game. They fought the whole game and Dallas couldn't make a FT! They really need to make some adjustments. To many people clogging the paint. Too much hesitation on 3s that should be automatic catch and shoot situations. Stop giving Dallas so many open 3s. Don't be so fast to double Kyrie. If he gets to the rim and finishes or hits a mid-range jumper it is less points than wide open Robert Horry, errr, P.J. Washington.

Wow. That team that showed up the last four minutes is still in there!! I was afraid they were gone.
Daigneault coming up big with the ATOs and SGA playing like an MVP while Luka missed a free throw. What a great ending.

for the series, the starters are -26 and all the rest of the minutes are +39. we can win this if mark daigneault makes the change everyone knows needs to be made. giddey has been ok in some bench units, especially when luka is not in. i think this would have been a comfortable win for us if we had started literally anyone else in his place.

Great team defense and great offensive performance from Shai.
Need to start Cason game 5...he's ready and Giddey is a mess. I hope JDub will be better...think it's a mix of injury and bad play

SGA is so special
Wiggins or Cason have to start instead of Giddey in game(s) 5-7. JDub needs to have a bounce back in a huge way. Game 5 is going to be tough. TTFU.

Great look to come through in the clutch from behind and hang tough for the win.
LuDo and Homegrown with the late 3's when needed were special.
Well played coaches and team!

Maybe only Hayward could do worse
