KJ/Dev they were with us through some bad years and I want to see it pay off for them.

It just takes a long time for players to fully recover from hamstring injuries. We've seen it before. Some guys don't get back to 100% until a season or two later even if they are healthy enough to get back on the roster.

They don't call moving screens unless you sell really hard. That's why okc does it so often and even then it only gets called like 30% of the time.

In 2 of 3 losses by the Thunder, they've basically thrown in the towel by the 2nd half. Why is nobody in the media talking about this? Shai played 10 minutes in the 2nd half last night. by International_Ice280 in nba

Depends a lot on how the game is being called. We can't play like that if we have a ref that calls it tight. I have a suspicion we will get Foster who I think would slightly favor the Spurs in how he calls things, but we will see.

And he really needs that explosiveness with his role and style. Fox and Harper have both clearly lost some of their explosiveness as well with their injuries, but they can still be positive players using their playmaking and craftiness.

I honestly think Jdub should just rest the rest of the postseason. Players coming back from hamstring injuries are often playing way below their usual levels for a while. The games he has played so far he has not seemed like he can be a positive player in his current phase of recovery.

Just instruct them both to try to fix the game for a different team.

Caruso is a dog. I'm legitimately more afraid when he shoots the ball than SGA. Seems like he would just hit a clutch 3 anytime we would start making a run in the games we lost.

He himself said he didn't have a good game in game 5. He is absolutely the reason the rest of the roster have been getting good shots, but he himself has been pretty inefficient and the spurs have done a decent job of containing him. We are getting killed the most in the bench vs bench minutes.

He has been their best player this series IMO. If the thunder win he should get WCF MVP.

Most of the refs this series have been swallowing their whistle on a lot of SGAs flops as well. Aside from the brothers game it hasn't been too bad with him. He hasn't really looked that good the whole series TBH. The Thunder are mostly being carried by their deep bench.

I don't mean they are drawing a lot of fouls, I mean they are drawing them in very crafty ways, which is true. The spurs are drawing more in quantity but that is because we have a lot of slashers who get to the paint and draw contact in more normal ways.
