I think Boston only scored 21 points with Adams on the floor

-6 Missed layups by Boston according to my stat sheet
-OKC playing with much more intensity, especially defensively
-BOS playing ISO-Ball, which is the opposite of what they have done all year

My OKC bet is going to win easily. This is what we call a classic trap game, folks.

Just can't get the lead up to 20. We had a couple of chances in the 1st half and just had two or three cracks at it there.

He tried in the first game, but then again it was against Ron Baker.

Really impressed with his efforts on Irving.

It still feels like George is missing a lot of open looks that he needs to hit.

PG is not as good at iso plays as he thinks he is.

I think both teams will grow from a game like this.

For OKC, you're going against the top defense in the league, ripe with young talent, and a star point guard who you've made crap his pants so far tonight.

For BOS, you're going against 3 star players and a long defensive team, on the road. I think Jaylen (3/8 from the line and jittery) and Tatum especially will learn from a game like this.

We're going to end up losing.
