OKC shot 12/19 FG (63.2%) with CJ McCollum as the main defender and 25/77 (32.5%) in the rest of the shots. Almost 1/3 of their made FGs were with CJ as the defender in Game 1. This percentage has increased to 71% after Game 2.

The fact people are tryna blame Willie Green for this when he’s somehow gotten us back to back top 10 defenses with CJ and Val in the starting 5 is hilarious. Even with Zion we don’t have the right guys that you need around us to be a truly contending level team and yet we’re judging the team WITHOUT Zion as if we were ever ready
All the pels need to do is trade for Siakam and this team will be fine.
Blow shit up for Trae or Dejounte and a rim protecting center while keeping Z, Herb, Trey, Jose, Hawk
Giannis and Middleton has always been the best proxy for Zion and Ingram stylistically. But look at the difference in what Milwaukee put around them to become successful in Jrue and Brook vs what we have in CJ and Val. It’s night and day
The Pels should trade Ingram for Giannis straight trade.
The was hunting the switch onto CJ and then Chet as the screener. JV was BBQ chicken that game too smh.
Going into this offseason, I need Dyson in the lab working on his offensive game every day. He can bring the defense, we just need his offense to become more consistent and aggressive using his size. For Hawkins, it’s the opposite 😂. I need him in the weight room every day and working on his defense
