Really interested to see what kind of adjustments OKC comes with for game 2


The biggest takeaway from game for me was how easy they were to defend

Slow halfcourt offense, Cliff cant get by defenders, SGA is their best iso player and they didnt let him do much....Gallo is going to get his....the fact they always have Diallo or Ferguson on the court means they'll always have at least one person we dont have to guard and we're maybe the best team at not guarding non threats

Was listening to Dantoni talk about basically making our man defense looks like a zone......OKC really couldn't figure out where to go

Thunder aren't stopping Harden regardless so they might as well play Nader instead of Diallo and Ferguson and get that shooting out there but hopefully they dont and they stick to the script

Yeah I’m expecting them to play their shooters more mins. SGA said he wasn’t ready for the physicality so he’ll probably try to be more aggressive. they Didn’t double or trap harden alot in game 1 so we’ll probably see that too.

OKC not making Harden work on defense and not throwing any traps or double teams at him was great

Plus he only had to play like 34 minutes

But yeah I dont expect that to be the case again today
