We have to stop turning our back, either in the post or perimeter. Can’t just back them down. They are too long and active. Even though that last sixty seconds feels like a loss, gotta feel okay going into half with a lead. Randle is shooting lights out, but we desperately need DDV, NAW, Conley, and Naz to shoot/play better.

We got this. Good minutes from Clark, he needs to take more minutes from Conley. Randle is showing he’s the third best player in the series. Now I just need Rudy to shut the paint down.

That was just bad way to end the half, gave up at least 4 unnecessary points on Ant foul, miss FT, Randle turnover, Randle foul

Gobert needs to show up more and Conley needs to show up. Make a 3 or shoot a layup.

Yep we could easily be leading by 8 or 10.

48-44 is a defensive battle. We are making life tough for OKC and keeping them from getting into rhythm. We just need guys not named Randle to hit their 3s.

I liked Clark to add a little spice. We haven’t shot well and still in it. Would not mind some TSJ just to put some pressure on the rim.

I argued he might be a better fit for our team. KAT made it work on defense but his offense took a huge hit when started playing next to Gobert. Randle does a lot of stuff that fits this team construction better, namely his ability to create and attack. He's also taking a lot more three's than KAT when he's feeling it and that helps.

We need to slow down our shots (Naz & DDV). If the shot isn’t here, pass the ball.
I can’t believe we’re up 4. FTA is shameless; have some dignity, man.

Kudos to you, I remember disagreeing with you after the trade. I’m happy you were right!

It will be real nice if we can get through the third quarter with two things. The lead and no 4th foul on Ant or Randle.

They claim he tripped Shai. How dare Jaden lose his balance when shoved by a grown man while shuffling his feet. The 3rd Jaden foul on Chet was also not a foul.
