To me, this is why i have always wanted to stagger harden and Lou's minutes, when harden goes off, we should put Lou in to let him run the show a little bit, lou is not a spot up guy, anderson and ariza are more of spot up guys
I wonder if we already saw a preview of a game 3 adjustment late in the game on Wednesday. More Ariza on Westbrook. It's a different look for Westbrook, plus it allows Beverley freedom to hawk the boards.
one reason is to not give up transition baskets to WB and that'll get him going. We have better set plays and players who can play set plays than they do.
I'd put kanter in the starting lineup and match up with Anderson, that way can hide Kanter's lack of D and add more scoring in OKC's starting lineup. Anderson's been cold so far so OKC might gamble and give him a couple of shots... but I still think OKC will have a good lead, even double digit lead, by halftime.
I am confident that the Thunder will leave Ariza open with 3s or drives to the basket tonight. He is the only guard that can't create his own shot and is worse at 3.
Expect OKC to live on the free throw line for game 3. Ryno needs to do what he did game 1...Get some boards. Ariza needs to stop dribbling!!! I've never seen Ariza's dribbling lead to anything good. Only terrible shot attempts and turnovers. Just shoot or swing the ball. Game 1 Beverly stepped up Game 2 Lou Williams stepped up Game 3 Ariza? EG? Ryno?
