Compare Mitch Johnson to Kenny Atkinson....Mitch has total command of the team as a HC, tells them when to slow down and what sets to run, gets after their ass defensively. There's accountability.




Atkinson OTOH is the complete opposite...Basically just let's the team run itself, always trying to get the tempo up but never tries to get the team organized and settled. There seems to be ZERO accountability at both ends.

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.
this is true and i dont even care

they were hyped up. Tim leger said they can go 77-5. They'd need to run the table from this point on to make that happen

now that they've lost 3 straight to SA, i dont wanna hear it.

IT DEFINITELY SHOULD BE A XMAS GAME.

DALLAS HAS A BAD RECORD
BECAUSE AD MISSED A BUNCH OF GAMES
BUT COOPER IS RISING AND
THIS IS A GOOD SHOWCASE

Detroit/Boston would be better than this IMO and they already got 4 West games. But I get it, they set the schedule early and this would be the better matchup on paper back then.

Yea Boston was expected to be trash this year :yeshrug: Mozzarella should get more credit for keeping everyone hooping along with JB, he could've easily been having a michael porter jr. year.

Yeah but they're not gonna flex a christmas game

No one knew DET would be so great before the season, and Tatum is injured. No one knew BOS would be good either for that matter :manny:
