These refs really do seem in the bag for OKC ngl.
The crazy and-1 discrepancy. SGA getting two FTs in the 1st Q for standing near a Denver playing going for a defensive rebound. Denver can't make a play on the dribble or it's automatic foul but OKC gets handsy every time Denver touches the ball.
It's wild. No idea what they're seeing.

Wow, Denver should be really happy going into the half down only 6.

Somehow Denver being down only 6 is a Miracle.

Denver is lucky that they're not down 20 with how poorly they played in the 1Q. 2/22 FGA. Good OKC defense but also just missing open shots.

They're tired but they also have a habit of doing this. When they beat the Lakers they were still constantly falling behind big in games.

It's a flaw. They need more guys who are competitive like Russ, but younger.

JDub has been great defensively but the Draymond Green statline isn't gonna get it done as a #2. He's got to be better offensively in the 2nd half

Playing Caruso more minutes feels so obvious to everyone except Daigneault
