Injuries is how you defeat the champs. OKC is the only team in history that can beat a healthy OKC team
8:15 he is pissed 🤣
Size matters
1:55
So this is also basically why OKC struggled against the Mavs few seasons ago. Just have very elite driving guards like Luka and Kyrie, bonus they also have really good length with Gafford and Lively.
Watch Jaylen Williams be the reason the Thunder beat the Spurs in the playoffs lol
So the issue is chet not only not dominating his match up but not even being average against a small guard
Loved this vid
seriously tho ty 4 video!❤❤❤ i
OKC FRAUDS JUST CANT DEFEAT ETHICAL BASKETBALL
9:42 wemby on*
Is there anyone who comes close to the defensive effect of wemby all time?
The problem with OKC is their offense is too one-dimensional. As Denver demonstrated last year in the playoffs, doubling SGA and forcing the rest of them to score was the way to go, and Denver damn near won the series. Having an alien in the lineup is nice, but any team with mobile bigs can apply this scheme and cause trouble with OKC.
one of the reason is chris finch talking about the officiating for OKC a day before lol
Castle Man’ moving like Manu Ginobili out there…
Playing with Wemby as a guard has to be so insanely fun. You got a crazy lob threat to pass to who’s insanely tall and can shoot 3’s to pull out the shot blocker 😭
Spurs having tall guards that are athletic and can switch on multiple positions helps a ton. Plus those same guards can all find the open man, it's perfect for Spurs basketball
yup
Ay yes the classic 3 guards and an alien strategy
Thumbnail is garbage.
