Good point on first sentence. The second sentence doesn't make sense.

I really didn't like OKC deciding to switch so much tonight. I feel like every time I looked up the Clippers had a mismatch.

CP3 would lick his chops whenever Butler would switch on to him

Russ just looked lost whenever forced to switch, which led to a ton of open jumpers

I really didn't understand why OKC decided to stay big in the first half when DeAndre Jordan went out.

Really sucks we couldn't have gotten this version of OKC in Game 6 or 7. They were an absolute mess tonight.

Other than game 1 of the Memphis series, OKC has flat out sucked if they aren't feeling the pressure.

Very interested to see how game 2 looks. And of course curious to see if CP3 can make every shot he takes.

No way CP3 can stay that hot again

Whew, I think Brooks has established the solution:

I'm no expert, but I THINK that might be a good start

The difficult part will be doing it sans fouling against an athletic team like LAC. Same problem most face when playing OKC, tbh.

Despite how bad the score was, my only silver lining is that OKC is playing pretty much the exact opposite of the Grizzlies. And it definitely showed in the first half. Not saying OKC will shut down the Clippers but I'd be shocked if the D doesn't vastly improve in game 2.

Even if peej predicted that, I would buy in. There is no way he does that again, especially in the playoffs.

And definitely not in consecutive games.

IMO, only OKC can beat OKC in game 2 if they play their cards right.

I'd be shocked if OKC dropped Game 2, and I think they can definitely take at least one in L.A.

Hoping the current trend of OKC playing better on the road then at home remains true.
