I dont know what it is about OKC.  im  not  sure if Imfeeling it. Obviously theyre missing Chet and a juggernaut regular season team. Theyre not going to lose to bottom feeder very often if ever.. And Shai is really good. JW is a great running mate to Shai. I just cant get over how many guys for them that are 6'6 and shorter playing forward/ power forwards, all to me share mostly the same skillset.  Watch Shai or JW create and shoot 3s.

 

once the bigger teams turn up defensive intensity for the playoffs are those smaller wings like Joe, Caruso, Wiggins, Wallace, Dort etc going to be able to hit their 3s every game to make up for their shortcomings?

also is anyone paying attention to this Charlotte Hornets story? they did some Christmas giveaway bit during a TV timeout the other night. The bit was to give a kid a PS5 and then life goes on. They took they PS5 away(not sure if it was in the box or whatever) and handed him a jersey instead and went on their way LOL

 

Some dude on X called them out saying his buddy & his nephew were the ones apart of this and all they got was some crappy jersey. well they got busted and are righting their wrong.

Yeah, I’m not seeing it.  They are also without Jaylin Williams, their other big. They will be better and bigger when both he and Holmgren get back. In general though they haven’t been shooting it from three as well as they did last year. And are still 20-5. I think they’re going to be okay. They are also still very young. That team is a motherfucker that is only going to get better.

To Mitch's point, they're without the other Jaylin Williams and Chet.  That's a solid three man big rotation when healthy.  Adding Hartenstein was a huge score for them but he just got back.  They played the Mavericks (a legitimately big team) earlier this season with no one in the lineup over 6'6".  They almost pulled it off when Luka wasn't playing so there's that.

Still, they're not a great shooting team to your point.  Shai isn't even a great shooter.  Great scorer, yes.  The only top level shooters on that roster are maybe Chet and Joe.  The interchangeable wings works well on defense, though.  They're all long and athletic and can switch off on most everyone.  Might be low on rebounding but they create a lot of turnovers.

Last night they just couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat.  I've never seen them shoot that bad.  Maybe it was a big stage getting to them.

When they hit the playoffs their offense is going to be generated by their defense.  They're gonna win it all.
