OKC got no answer for the Spurs

 

[Malcolmxxx_23]

They told me thunders D is generational
Pause

 

[JulesMusic719]

They even got Barnes out here looking like he's in his prime

He's still a good player bro

 

[Derek Lee]

Ice cold from three yet they're still jacking em up

 

[Primetime]

Broken record, OKC is undersized and no one can create off the dribble aside from Shai

SAS is one of the few teams that is bigger (pause) at every position and has multiple guys who can create off the dribble.

 

[Don Homer]

Victor has to stop trying to dribble thru 4 defenders

 

[mson]

Okc keeps shooting bricks!

Is Wemby on a minutes restriction?

 

[broller]

Damn. Belt to ass.

 

[SCORCH]

Wemby to Harper

 

[MicIsGod]

How many times does Harper have to get hit on that dunk?

Spurs brehs explain this to me

Why is that the Spurs match up so well with the Thunder? From the couple of games I saw them play each other

1. The Spurs guards are so elite that they force SGA and Jalen Williams
2. Chet/Hartenstein don't have an advantage downlow against Wemby and Kornet
3. Spurs play very physical, and OKC are more of a finesse team

everything you just said. The Spurs take everything away from OKC offensively.
-They contest every shot.
-They’re too big and too fast so they can stay with them on D.
-Wembanyama completely eliminates nearly every close to the basket shot.
- Theyre massive so they get all the rebounds.

They turn them into a three-point spamming team and while they can play that way, that’s not their ideal play style.

Do we think Sam Presti will panic a little and make a move or 2? Or does he chalk this to a bad week..reason why I dont like these baseball schedules in the NBA. Would love to see Spurs vs OKC in February or March and see if its still the same result.
