Who on OKC should get credit for their ridiculous defense?

[DelAbbot]

Clippers are actually going to end up being the reason OKC has the greatest modern dynasty.

They traded Shai and what will end up as a top 5 pick in an absolutely loaded draft for Paul George (plus a lot more).

Clippers are such an awful organization

It's not Clipper's fault. It's Kawhi's fault

first mark d and presti. out of the players, that's crazy but i think even if sga is like the 6th-8th best defender on the team, id say sga is the one to give most credit.

the dude delivers 45+ pts/100 on offense and work his ass off contesting everything that goes to the weakside - and the extra pass if needed.

hard to be a role player and not give 120% when your superstar offensive workhorse carries himself that way

sure when chet plays 30+ minutes he looks like thunders's defensive mvp. when caruso and cason checks they're going to wreck games with their defensive playmaking. sure dort is one of the most dominant point of attack defenders. sure jdub is the most versatile defender in the nba. sure hartenstein is an extremely high level defender.

but imo when the defense is so reliant on help defense, swarming and everyone comitting to their small tasks with solidarity, when a guy is supposed to be the weakest link and most preserved legs just does it with the hunger sga does it, i have to give him the biggest credit.

i have a similar respect for ant and tatum in that regard.

Man, great comment.

Kawhi can't force the Clippers to do anything. The Clippers were a voluntary participant in the Kawhi saga.

I actually forgot that the Thunder also got Jalen Williams in this trade

Kawhi is legitimately a franchise killer and a basketball terrorist

One could argue that Kawhi has helped the Thunder more than the 3 teams he has played for in his career!

Kawhi didn't get enough criticism for this trade, since he's the one who forced the Clippers for this trade!

OKC jumping to top 4 to get Peterson or Boozer and you might as well just call off the next 10 years.
