The ironic part is that OKC's biggest flaw is that they're overly ISO-dependent, while Miami moves the ball impeccably.
He ain't wrong. In that period of time where they got back into the game and tied it up, the ball was moving quickly and they were getting good shots. Then it stopped. Then the lead for OKC grew and grew and the ball got "sticky" again. They need to keep the ball moving if they want any hope of winning a game in this series.
Russell Westbrook is 2nd in fga a game and Durant is 5th. Their team is stacked. Harden is 8th on a young team with no other stars.
Game 2 will show what kind of leadership we have....whoever the leader/s is/are better figure out what to do to be successful. Will definitely be interesting
He didn't say anything that McHale didn't say himself, or that anyone with a pair of working eyes could have seen Wednesday. I put it down to playoff jitters. Young guys leaving the game plan because they're young guys without the experience we're gaining now, excepting a couple of players, who had to deal with everyone else going off the reservation, which simply fed into the self-created chaos generated in that first game by the Rocks. Let's hope that with this game out of their system, this absurdly young team begins to play like they are capable of. It'd be nice not to get swept. It would be even nicer to win at least one game in OKC. Hell, it would be nice simply to win one game. Or Mr. Lin driving into the teeth of the defence, or trying to make an absurdly difficult pass to a center with lousy hands, something hardly a revelation? Plenty of "I can do this myself!" plays to go around in that first game, folks. It's a team problem, not simply the problem of one player. You seriously believe that McHale doesn't know this is a problem?
OKC is supremely more athletic than we are and therefore can switch at all 5 positions (Perkin is the weak link) and force us to drive into Ibaka. So all of the stats Morey has are irrelevant because we can't score consistently against OKC. We only win if they are missing shots, because we can't stop them consistently at 2 and 5 positions.
