    No, but I did expect us to beat OKC with those 4 healthy. What I didn't expect was so little effort to snag offensive rebounds. There really is no excuse for allowing OKC 18 offensive rebounds and only getting 9. There is also no excuse for allowing 5 of their players to get 2 or more offensive rebounds, and everyone except Tucker and Clint getting 1 or less. We need more hustle and effort.

    I'm not as focused on our teams offensive rebounds. They seem to happen regardless of complete effort at times just because of the type of shots we take.

    But the defensive rebounding indeed can be hit or miss.

    That's part of what you get when you're PF is PJ Tucker. Bless his heart he tries, but he had 3 defensive rebounds in 30 minutes.

    We can't alk
    My point was what you said. We can't allow any team to get 18 offensive rebounds. We need to be grabbing more of those on defense. That means hustling more from other players too.

    As for us missing 14 shots in the 4th quarter, just a total choking under pressure. Not good.
