Well, here we are at the most critical game of the series. Here is my take on what the team needs to do in order to close the series out. 1.) Weather the storm! We all know Westbrook, George, and co. are not just going to lay down and take it tomorrow night. They will start hot, I wouldn’t be surprised if they took a 10+ point lead early, but like games 2 and 4 we must equalize or regain the lead by half. 2.) Play inside-out. It would be wise to be aggressive inside the paint, the Thunder are going to be extra aggressive on both ends of the floor, use it against them. Getting easy baskets, breaking down the defense to get weakside kickouts or cutters, and getting to the free throw line (get their stars in foul trouble) should be the goal. 3.) Close quarters strong. Quite an obvious one but, the Thunder are an emotional team, keep their roller coaster at a steady low pace if possible, don’t let them hold momentum like in game 3.
I'm not so sure okc is gonna bring their best cos they just looked cooked on Sunday. Very bad body language. They'll go through the motions and who really knows? but i think Simons & Co. will get some run in the 4th.
They bring it at the start and we will break open in the 3rd QT just like the 3 wins. Actually we have out score them every game in the 3rd. The bench is due for a big game. Limited PG under 30 and contain Westbrook. Keep them off the free throw line. Another thing I have every team that won the tip has lost.
the keys to the game is the same as every game. make westbrick shoot jumpers. If for some reason hes hitting everything, you live with it. But he is a horrible shooter so we need to keep packing the pain and make him and the rest of the team shooters.
Another thing I have every team that won the tip has lost.[/QUOTE] Good thing Kanter almost never wins the tip then. I was stunned when he did in game 3.
Pretty sure they shot above their season average again from 3 in game 4. I'll enjoy watching them go back to shit again on the road
Our role players need to get out of their slump. Enes, ET, Rodney, Seth, Zach need to give us 40+ points. We had so many misses at the rim. They will pay attention to Chief and Mo. I hope Dame and CJ don't try hero ball. We need to share and move the rock.
Moda is going to be rockin, I dont believe that Ferguson, Grant, and Fatton shoot as well from 3 as they did last game. We got this!!!! Blazers by 15!!!!
