This is hilarious. It’s game 4 at home down 3-0, we should be trying everything and everyone. Here’s some things I’d like to see:

1. Limit JV and Nance minutes and lean on the wings. I want to see Trey/Ingram/Herb/CJ out there with Dyson/Naji. Hide CJ and Ingram on Dort and Giddey and trust Trey/Herb/Dyson/Naji to fight through screens.

2. When CJ sits, give Hawkins a shot to get hot. The Thunder are guarding out to the perimeter, getting physical, and rarely switching. Using our actual and only movement shooter would be a great way to counter and get some easy offense. Get him in and just give him the green light.

3. Be more creative with JV’s touches. He’ll have to play, but let’s see if we can get him touches in the paint through some actual actions or drop offs instead of just dumping it into the post.

4. For the love of everything that is holy, attack off the dribble when Chet sits. Watching this team get zero shots in the paint last game when Chet sat was beyond frustrating.

I’ll be surprised if see any of these, but if we get either 1 or 2, I’ll at least be somewhat satisfied.
