    We're hard to figure out how to deal with because you know coming in we're going to play tough, lockdown defense and you don't know which player or players on our team are going to be hot on the other end. There's not just one guy you have to gameplan for, or even two guys. It could be Fred going off, could be the rare hot JG night, it probably is going to be Sengun getting you to some degree, but just slowing him down him isn't enough. Jabari and Dillon are off-and-on but they can get hot and start nailing a bunch of jumpers. And then you've got the bench to deal with too, Amen is a star-in-waiting with various ways he can hurt you on both ends, and Tari is a whirlwind of energy, athleticism, and hustle.

    Being able to make it hard on every one is good
    Honestly . . . IF The Refs give SGA The Harden Treatment in the Playoffs . . .. we can definitely beat OKC even when healthy
    However we know that is not going to happen
    So
    The Defense will have to be even better

    I hope we get that "ReP" of being a good defensive team
    so we can get away with the Slaps and pulls that OKC got away with
