I don't know, but watching the Thunder....

They take ALOT of tough shots, and have a lack of post presence. Don't think that is sustainable
And they can get bullied easily in the paint


We saw that at the IST championship game. They looked overpowered. Gonna be a fun game on Sunday.

That's my point. OKC is missing a big wing defender for the apex predators of the league.

I don't trust their offense beyond SGA either. I have zero doubts about him coming through in the postseason but there's still too much weight on his shoulders. JDub isn't that guy as a #2 option.

There's no one that is guarding a locked-in JT, just like there is no one that is guarding Shai; that's my point.
OKC defenders can guard the other 4 spots and secure the rebound on misses. Dort is a midget in comparison to JT, but JT will still have to work on the dribble drives and 1v1 positioning to get buckets.

The other stuff with OKC's offense is why i put the question mark on Chet. He's the key if they're going to get over the hump this year/earlier than expected. Tho even if he's just the same as he was last year, with Hartenstein now there i'd have them coming out of the West at the mininum.

They missin their defensive anchor and rim protector. Chet also a great 3PT shootin bigs. He space the floor for everyone to get easier shots even though he don't post up much.
