Winning this first tough series can be the spring board. Not nearly enough was made of the circumstances which equaled out the talent gap with OKC. 1) Westbrook was late to the bubble due to Covid and then got injured. He is getting healthier every day but is still not back to pre Covid form. 2) Eric was unable to play until about the last game or two before the playoffs due to an injury. He is getting healthier and might be regaining his shooting touch. 3) Robert Covington was still somewhat new to the team and was in a shooting slump that he looks like he is coming out of. There is a decent chance they are going to peak at the right time. !
Reminds me of the second chip... Midseason philosophy change...clyde/microball Pushed to the brink in round 1 To be continued.... No jinx
Same. If you ask me, a first round cake walk may have led to overconfidence. They got a scare and should benefit from that.
