When a head coach comes out and clearly states that the DT position is a real concern and that they are looking for help in the portal, there isn’t much confidence in the players currently on the roster at that position. ...
Yeah, best case scenario was the series goes 5 or 6. Caught OKC in that first game because they were rusty from being off so long, but couldn’t finish. They are just a superior team....

He’s not ready yet, especially for playoff basketball. Jose, who is much better on the defensive end, actually has a better FG% and 3-point percentage, so there is no advantage there either. Future is bright though....

Pels blew it and refs changed the way they officiated down the stretch to favor OKC. These aren’t mutually exclusive occurrences....

Well there is an NBA statistic for point guard efficiency and you don’t see a Pel on the list until #39 with Jose. We are beneath the bottom of all other teams so having a guard who is efficient with the ball in their hands seems like a priority. ...

You see how much we did with 14 seconds? Sorry, but an extra 5-10 seconds is huge in that situation ...

Lol. CJ is not a point guard. ...

Agree Zion gives the Pels that ability, but we still need a good point guard...

I think the last possession just highlighted how badly it hurts not to have a real guard that can drive by guys and create. We waste so much time dribbling between the legs at the top of the circle, only to have to give it up or force a shot when we try to go....

The idea that we got a good shot at the end is very misleading. We were very lucky to get off any shot after that isolation fiasco, and even though it ended up being close, that’s a low percentage shot. It was a terrible possession. We also should have fouled earlier to leave more than 14 seconds t...

I don’t think you will see OKC play nearly that poorly the rest of the series and they got a gift tonight...

It was close on the goal tend, but OKC gave us chance after chance after chance...

Exactly. Let them collapse on JV and we get a good shot...

I mean, we knew there would not be a play drawn up. ISO ball at end of games is all Willie calls ...

Pels chance was this game. They won’t have this chance next game...

This better not be a BI isolation...

Could have been tied if Willie uses a damn challenge...

Why not challenge the foul...
