Just a miserable shooting performance. Couldn't make their 3s even on good looks & they managed to also miss a bunch of FTs.

Also there is no reason to run the double bigs against the Spurs especially with Wemby coming off the bench. By the time he comes in both bigs sit & gives him an even bigger mismatch. But that's Mark doing what he does with lineups & just saying fukk it.

I was thinking that at the start of the game. Spurs coach coaching circles around your guy.

Plus Barnes and that light skin swoll nygga will attack Chet in the paint no fear, throw their body into him and force the refs… that’s by design. Whereas Thunder play like getting rejected by Wemby would lead to CTE, sickle cell, and Parkinson’s

I still don't know the Spurs' coach's name, but he's good. He called great timeouts to kill momentum, made good adjustments, and good rotations.
His name is Mitch Johnson

he's been getting better. I wasn't sold on him when the season started. But he:

1-cut sochan out the rotation
2-has done well to stagger the mins between castle,fox and harper. overall his rotations are solid
3-has been better with the timeouts

not to mention his asst coaching staff is very nice. Sean sweeney was a great get for the Spurs

This is why I've said SGA is underappreciated/underrated. He's carrying a massive burden on OKC but he makes it look so easy, he doesn't get the full credit he deserves. Only guy on OKC who can create his own shot or for others at a high level.

It's possible San Antonio's inexperience hurts them in the postseason but they are a bad matchup for OKC. They are just as athletic, probably moreso, plus, they're bigger across the board. OKC doesn't have any big wings. All their guys are besides SGA are 6'5" and under.

Mitch Johnson isn't getting nearly enough credit for his coaching. To have a team this young and this little floor time together on the same page like this is incredible. There was a reason Caruso and Cason Wallace kept finding themselves wide open to brick threes all game.

They have guys 7'1, 7'0, 6'6, 6'5 and 6'4 in their starting lineup

Size ain't the problem...the problem is shot.making
only superior athletes on the spurs are castle & fox

outside them okc can matchup athletically

when they get behind they only have sga to rely on for consistent offense

lu.dort out there putting up prayers & shyte

fukking caruso looked like their second most competent player offensively when it was repping time

that cannot be the deal.....j.dub & chet need to go to church aHA....

OKC does have big wings, the problem is Harper, Castle, and Fox just don't give a fukk :yeshrug:
