I didn't really watch the game last night but had it on in the background as we had people over. They look bored, quite frankly, especially when they're ahead. They'll play some defense but don't seem interested in running a play on offense. Four of them will jog up the floor and the ball handler (usually Dort or Jalen) will jack up a wild shot and sometimes hit it. I get that being bored after a title is a thing. However, like last year, they can still go long stretches on offense where they just go cold and can't score from anywhere. You'd think they'd have worked on that in the offseason but it doesn't seem like it. They had a stretch in Game 6 of the Finals where they didn't score for 12 minutes. (It spanned the back half of the 2nd quarter and first half of the 3rd.) They have some legit offensive players on that team so I can't figure out how they can go the equivalent of an entire quarter without scoring.
If it ever had a plot to begin with, it's over now. We all know Cami is going to hit oil with the offshore drilling which will lead into Season 3. The show is basically Sam Elliott complaining and Billy Bob and Ali Larter fighting. Although, her bikini scene was top shelf. I still say she's hotter now than in Varsity Blues.
Like all of TS's shows, he starts off with a good premise but has no forethought into direction and how it the actual plot ends, if there is one. Landman never really had a plot, it was just entertaining in Season 1 but now they're just doing the same stuff over and over.
Also, another thing about that game is OKC had a back to back and the previous night they played at 8:30 in OKC. I understand back to backs and they happen to everyone but no team should have a back to back with Game 1 being a late tip. The dumbest one was last year when OKC and Minny played at 8:30 pm in Minny and then both flew to OKC to play the next night at 7.
I don't like late tips to begin with. I was in town and actually at the OKC/MEM game and it was like no one wanted to be there. I understand the TV schedules but at 8:30, people have worked all day gone home, killed 2 hours, and then gone to a game that ends at 11 pm. Neither team seemed all that excited about it, either.
Or teams that shoot 24 FT's to their 7.
Wemby has always given them problems, though, because Shai and Jalen take a lot of mid range shots and he's really the only person in the league long enough to impact those. They really have to shoot well and they're still not a great shooting team. Still very streaky and like last year, can go stretches without scoring much or running real plays. They'll just come down and jack one up.
Also, OKC played a late game last night in Minnesota. I'm guessing they just flew him direct on a private jet and got down there very early this morning?
