We're about to find out if this team warrants real hype for a deep playoff run

Like I said if we get homecourt we’ll have earned it and if after this stretch if they’re successful- anyone here who complains we don’t win enough against elite teams should have their account suspended lol.

My body is ready.

BI this, BI that. Zion is the key.

Yes thats true but Zion will need BI. Lets not completely dismiss that. Its Zion leading the way with BI next to him is the key.

We're also going to have to defend the 3pt line better than we have been. Oklahoma has some really good shooters, and we're going to need 3/5 guys hitting from 3 (trey, cj, naji, Jose, herb)

It’s interesting the Thunder don’t shoot a lot of 3s but when they do they hit them very well. I think part of our defensive philosophy is to give up 3s in certain spots to certain individuals. Which can backfire at times.

Trey needs to be better shooting wise- he was abysmal against detroit. But in this game I wouldn’t mind us just constantly attacking the paint.

Tough schedule at the worst time.

Going 3-2 would be a massive massive win.

Thunder lost yesterday so I'd expect they don't lose 2 in a row

I said this previously, the Thunder are NOT ready. They will lose 1st round. You can’t have Chet as your 5 and have no other C with size on the roster. Nurkic, Zubac, list any C with size, they cannot stop it. Chet is just too small weight wise. JV and Zion will put Chet under the rim every single time

This is also a lowkey gambling cheat code: a C with size playing OKC? Bet his rebounds. Nurkic put up 31 against them a couple weeks ago, Giannis just had 19 last night.

I also add to that Herb does great on Shai as long as he doesn’t get in foul trouble. These new let them play rules have decreased Shai’s free throw attempts.

I think Boston will let their foot off the gas. No reason to play hard for wins that don’t matter
