RIP to the real Big O. Oliver Miller.

Dang.He was apart of the team('93 Suns) that made me fall in love with basketball as a kid.I know people might think it was KJ, but he was probably the best passer on that team.I remember that game winner with .3 seconds on the clock vs the Blazers.People think that play just happened by chance, but it was actually drawn up to go off the backboard to Charles.Paul Westphal checked Big O into the game to inbound the ball.Said he knew Big O was the only guy who could make that pass off the backboard from half court.



Core memory.RIP Big O

Clippers played last night so you would think the heat would beat them on the second night of a back-to-back wrong

Missing half the season probably messed up Chet's development/role on the team a bit because pre-hip injury he appeared to be their 2nd best player and had early DPotY caliber play but from what i've seen since his return he's #4 in importance behind SGA and Jalen/Hartenstein as 2a/2b.

IHart is their Draymond that allows SGA and JDubb to take a Curry and Klay role but with more drives than 3 balls. The synergy with those 3 + Dort as their "iguodala" is seamless. But kinda leaves Chet tryna figure out where he fits while playing himself back into shape.

And just like that, with JDubb out and more focus, Chet goes back to looking like he did to start the season.

And the issue isn't with JDubb but more-so that when SGA sits, JDubb typically becomes the focal point of the offense but he's not really a skilled passer yet outside of the occasional successful lob. He's looking to score, which is fine but it leaves Chet without proper post entry touches.

Whereas vs Boston tonight bc JDubb was out, IHart continued with his Draymond role as point-center and naturally looks for Chet more. OKC can still win the title with Chet in the Looney role but they'll reach another level in the next year or two once they can finally syngerize the JDubb-Chet-IHart dynamic.
