it's hard to think that the pelicans will have enough firepower to hang. this would be a colossal upset if the thunder lose this series or even if it goes to 6 or 7 games in my opinion.
Shai only average 25 pts against the Pels with meh FG%. Need to see if he will be able to go to the free throw line as much as in the regular season as well.
It's cliché but it's gonna come down to our 3pt%. If we can shoot well enough from deep, it will be a quick series. If not, can easily go to 6 games.
