Smooth sailing from here on out...
OKC got hosed by that overturned call, but then they let a 3 point shooter get a clean look for the go-ahead bucket to put the nail in the coffin... like always
Small improvements. Any other time they would have also managed to foul the 3 point shooter

While it was only against the Bulls, the defensive stand by the Bucks in the last 5-6 minutes of the game is what championships are built on.

they'll be one of the best teams in the league in the 2nd half of the season. as usual.
As an aside, I don't think it's a matter of who can run the offense better between Kawhi and PG13. They essentially do the same thing dolo. The issue is you can't have a starting lineup of Beverley and Patterson (or the bum equivalent) bricking everything. Next to Zubac, that's 3 of the 5 guys who can't "shoot".
Hence the slow starts. Notice as soon as Beverley came back, their offense went right back to struggle.
Also why the Raptors would just double KL when he crossed half court... bc why not? They knew them other nyggas can't shoot. KL & PG on the court will keep defenses more honest at least. And I assume shamet will start and KL or PG will be the 4?

Their wins in the second-half of the season came off the back of shooting at an unsustainable rate (even more so given their lack of spacing and poor shot generation). It's not exactly something that can be easily replicated. It's what happens when you rely on trying to go against the 3-pt grain.
KAT the best center in the Northwest division. He owns Gobert and he doesnt fukk with Jokic. It seems the wolves are destined for a 10 seed but KAT and Wiggins taking this season personally. An enjoyable team to cheer for at the least.

He was underwhelming versus a Houston squad missing their starting center and playing a g-league center or Pj Tucker primarily at the position. I expected 40-20 performance. Instead he chose to hang out on the perimter with Harden and launched a half dozen threes
Houston doesn't play in the Northwest division
They had a worse game the night before that losing to the Wizards at home but KAT been shooting a lot of 3's this year and I think that's the best use for him honestly. He's a legit great 3 point shooter and the best shooter on the squad so he should be launching. He shot 7-14 from 3 last night and you know most Centers don't want to be out there.

He had a white gleague with no balance and 6-5 pj Tucker guarding him that night. I’m glad he stayed on the perimeterHouston doesn't play in the Northwest division
