By our good friends over at prize picks the easiest and most exciting way to play daily fantasy Sports Go a priz picks.com loock innba use code allerase locked in NBA for a first deposit match up to $100 folks in this game the Thunder missed Lou Dort he was out with

An illness case Wallace had to be thrusted into the starting lineup had a career night and the Utah J who are red hot 9- one last 10 games they came in only missing g-league assignment players per you know a fantastic home record and the Thunder were able to stop a two game losing

Streak and the Thunder have never had a losing streak longer than two this season and this was a spot where it easily could have spiraled you lose to the Lakers you lose to the Clippers and that La back toback the Clippers game the Clippers were were just shooting the

Ball extremely well playing playing really good basketball both teams played really well but some team had to lose but now you’re on an 0 and2 streak SJ didn’t quite look right in La so there’s a little concern about that Utah is playing fantastic basketball Minnesota

To end the road trip uh is a very tough matchup for Oklahoma City then you start to begin to wonder if this could spiral into an 0 and4 stretch which most teams face every year but the thunder came out in this game on fire and they really set the

Tone as they have when they face these sort of questions this entire season they got to the rim very well they looked quicker than they us than they had in the past few games and they eventually grew a 19-point lead right out of the gate and that lead did dwindle

Basketball is a game of runs but still the Thunder had zero lead changes they controlled this game wire to wire only two ties and there were a few reasons why I think this game was a professional win for oklah City not only did they Stave off the Jazz runs and even when

The Jazz tied it up twice they never relinquished the lead but the jazz came into this game as the best re batting team in the NBA the Thunder one of the worst rebat teams in the NBA and yet on the glass they both finish with 38 rebounds the Thunder even turned the

Ball over one more time than Utah but the 38 rebounds and the Jazz went to their zone defense and OKC just looked more prepared for it they they were more decisive they were making better decisions with the basketball they were skipping the ball around the perimeter

And they were finding the soft spot in the Jazz zone now of course it was not perfect but by no means was it as bog down as it typically looks for OKC when the other team goes to his Zone the Thunder one points in the paint by two they dominate fast break points

2913 and Utah still despite having even rebounding numbers dominated Second Chance points but the Thunder shot 55 43 85 Utah shot 48 4083 that’s a really good shooting split for Utah whenever you consider the slow start for the Jazz uh in this game but after Utah settled

In they still could not overcome the Oklahoma City Thunder it was a great response to each run the Jazz had many of them one of them was an 80 run with under a minute in the game gone by right so it was it was an 80 run you know in

The span of like 50 seconds the course of this game but the Thunder just overall showed their selfless passing nature their constant movement and they’re cuts that free up others like they they cuts of course you know if you hit the cutter it’s going to be a fantastic Easy Shot easy bucket but

Sometimes you know the cutter is just a dummy action to get an open three in the corner to to get uh you know a different action for OKC and that’s where they were able to capitalize and really hurt the defense this was just a complete game

Good teams do this like good teams go in on the road they set the tone early then they just sit there and nurse the lead and and and and react and and and combat you know the biggest runs from the other team so if the Thunder can have you know

A a constant level of effort on the glass if they can get out and run in transition and dominate there and then if they do this where everyone truly contributes and the Thunder we’re up seven points whenever SGA returns to this game in the final five minutes now clearly the final five

Minutes were still exhilarating and we’re you know nip and Tuck so to say but in general the last you know month the Thunder have done a fantastic job of growing leads and throwing Haymakers as we said whenever sj’s on the bench in the fourth quarter to start

Things out and if you can consistently do that if you can consistently say the Thunder will be up two three possessions or more when SJ returns and all he has to do is close out the last 5 minutes you’re going to feel really good about that you’re going to feel really good

About turning over the range to an MVP caliber player with that kind of lead late in NBA games who can who can hit the balls you know so well at the free throw line hit the shots at the free thr line so well you’re going to feel good about

That and the Thunder should feel good about this win like yes the Jazz right now are are a 22 and 21 team but thinking about their start and thinking about where they’re at now like they they’ve been impressive this year even get back to this point where they’re the

Ninth seed in the west that was a good jazz team that is a decisive home quarter Advantage not only the is the crowd into it but the altitude the Third Leg of a of a of a four game you know of a four- game Road Trip and now you head to Minnesota and

You have a a chance against a team that is very very tough and a team that that you is a tough match up for okl City specifically but you have a chance to to salvage a road trip and go 500 on the road and then you head head back home

For one quick one against Portland which which should be a very very easy win but you know what happens over very assume and Away you go you know you’re back on track at that point from that from that two game uh losing streak against the LA

Teams so this was a professional win one that the Thunder needed because it easily could have went the other way and it just continues to show what this young team is made of what this young team is able to accomplish we’ll talk about case wall stepping up we’ll talk about jdub and

Shown flashes he can be a shot creator that Memphis needs and I think that in fantasy like you don’t necessarily care about like overall efficiency you care more than that about the raw numbers and I think that GG Jackson can put up raw numbers against Memphis you know with

Memphis I should say uh because of all their in Jason because of of what they’re looking at someone has to score somebody has to get assists somebody has to get rebounds like those things are just going to happen still for Memphis even if they’re going to lose a ton of

Your team every day thank you so much for making us your first listen every single morning every single day we’re here for you talking Thunder basketball Jay dub looked like a star against the Utah Jazz and I think that job flat out Jaylen Williams is an NBA All-Star caliber player right now

Today Jaylen Williams is an All-Star caliber player now we can talk about the politics of the All-Star game with the fan voting but also just with like in general it’s very rare that you see a team get multiple especially three Allstars and that’s what this thunder

Team’s going to be staring down for the foreseeable future if all these guys continue to play this way where there’s gonna be three guys that are worthy of an All-Star appearance they’re likely only going to get two andless say it’s just some some jaw dropping record

So we can debate whether jdub will will make an All-Star team in the in the near near future he obviously will not make this year’s allar team I don’t think but you know next year whatever we’ll talk about that later but in terms of how he’s playing basketball he is playing

Basketball like an All-Star he is playing basketball at that level because he can defend play the passing lanes and get Steals and run transition he can throw that lob p the chat navigate the pick and roll as a facilitator hit these pullup mid-range shots I mean in this

Game he took a heat check three against two Defenders Nails it huge momentum shifter on the road OKC goes up 113 102 into the timeout and so we mentioned that when Utah makes these runs the Thunder have answers a lot of those answers you know came from

JB a lot of those answers came from what he was able to do and he’s one of those guys that help you in these moments help you shift the energy shift the M momentum that’s why it’s so tough to win on the road because you got 18 guys who will bring energy

And bring momentum the opposite team has thousands of people bringing the momentum and energy for them so you’ve got to create that from within and there’s automatically going to be some of those 18 guys are just that’s not their style their style is not to play

With a ton of uh emotion on their sleeve and passion but it certainly is J style and JB is a desperate need uh you know this team is in desperate need of of JB’s you know fantastic energy and and and kind of just Vibes that he brings along with his

Fantastic All-Star level play you know after that Utah run hits a three gets an assist to case for three OKC’s back up double digits he finishes this game with 27 points three boards eight assists two steals two blocks and he just has so many ways to kill you and as you describe

JB’s game it sounds early similar to another player on the Thunder roster so a few things that he’s able to do at Elite level he is Elite at playing off the catch because you know with the way he’s shooting the ball at the three-point line and the mid-range and

At the rim no matter where he’s out on the floor when he catches that ball he’s going to demand attention from the defense and so they’re going to close out hard to him and when they do he’s simply just able to walk pretty much right because his long strides that

First stride gets his defender on the back hip the Second Step seals off the defender now because you attacked out so hard because you’re playing so far up on him and because he’s just longer than you he’s beat you to the rim it’s an easy bucket it’s a finger roll it’s over

Right so playing up the catch is fantastic for him that soft touch at The Rim floater is a wrinkle that allows him to force a Defender to be wrong because you know with the with the strength that he has and his ability to initiate that bump contact around the restricted area

To to get an easy layup you’re going to want to gear up for him to just be bruising into you but he can also just pull up the little floater up there and Away you go so he can allow uh he can put himself in an ability to score in so many different

Ways and then you see just his rise up jumper in the mid-range in isolation which is so dangerous because again you’re going to want to be playing back a little bit to not get blown by you’re going to have to be closing out on threes and then you’re kind of in this

No man’s Lane in the mid-range so when you look at his you know shot chart he shot over 70% from three I’m sorry 70% from the floor all of his makes came from the nail the paint three-point line that’s where all those makes came from he worked in that area and it

Worked all night long because when he’s on the floor as the lead Creator he’s able to navigate the pick and roll so well that it almost ensures that he’ll get a switch onto a smaller guard and just be able to rise up over them and just shoot over the top of

Them which is where he gets a lot of his buckets you know whenever he’s in charge of the you know of the action here at the end of the at the U beginning of the second quarter beginning of the fourth quarter uh and in those moments but his Elite ability to flip a

Switch is something that we rarely see because so often whether it be by player choice or coach choice so often these players get put into a box of like this is your role this is who you are you don’t deviate from that you just do this thing with jdub watch when the

Ball’s tipped against Minnesota when the ball’s tipped he’s playing with the starters he is one of the best off ball weapons offensively that the league has because he’s so smart at relocation and taking advantage of the defense reacts to the Thunder’s initial action so maybe it’s a pick and roll action with chat

And SGA on the opposite slot than where JB’s at he can watch and see who’s rotating to help who’s crashing down who’s hedging on the screen and he can take all that in a split second and understand where he needs to go next to be wide open and then you see the

Defense might stop that initial action but now you’ve you’ve paid so much attention to gear up for that that you’ve missed jdub cutting to the r that you’ve missed J popping out to the corner three that you’ve missed JB right flaring into into the elbow like you’ve

Missed all that and he’s wide open and he’s going to you know capitalize on it so he can go from being this Savant off ball player to being a Creator on ball in the in the blink of an eye you in the sound of a buzzer like that is really impressive

And that is incredibly hard to do that is not something that that is that most people can do but how about Cas Wallace case Wallace hits that dagger three and that’s that dog mentality stuff that we’ve been hearing from KAS we’ve been hearing from uh everyone around him from

The pre-draft process that dagger three was huge goes six for seven from the floor overall so does not miss one of you know any of his two shots inside goes four for five from three he nailed a couple Corner threes early he hit a transition three these all kind of

Bubble Up and build to uh you know huge shifters for Oklahoma City and then you just saw how he played off with the starters so well like the gravity that the starters need and this and the gravity that the starters um demand he played off that extremely well in the

Corner four rebounds for case Wallace an assist a steal a block and 16 points you know he looks like a highle NBA starter whenever he has to swing start for OKC uh because J hurt Shay got hurt Lou got hurt in this game I mean I’m sorry not

Hurt but L Lou’s sick in this game and I think it’s so impressive because there’s it’s twofold the first one just like a little anecdotal note case wace specifically you know the last home game at shootaround talked about how important routines are and how important the game day routine is and the

Thunder’s initial injury report had zero injuries fully healthy then in the middle of the afternoon lud’s questionable with an illness he tried it out pregame you I guess or whatever however that worked he tried it out it wasn’t going to go somehow found out within that day on Thursday that ludor

Can’t go that’s not a lot of lead time to figure out you’re going to be starting an NBA game and starting an NBA game where you know there’s some pressure you lost two in a row you don’t want to lose three in a row for the

First time all season and then if you did lose three and Away row you’re heading to Minnesota there’s a lot of pressure on this game this what this felt like a different game it’s the altitude it’s the it’s the Rabid Jazz fans and yet K was just ready for the

Call and was just ready for his opportunity and he made the most of it he knocked down some very big shots including that late three and then the second thing is how consistent case Wallace has been to where you know people always talk about old football coaches of like

If you look at the old football coaches you never really know if their team was winning or losing or if it was a good play or bad play because they’re just so stoic if you watch case Wallace play basketball you never really know if he’s shooting 85% from three like he did you

Know the first two months of the Season or you know first month of the Season or if he’s shooting 30% from three as he did in December because he’s going to confidently take his open shot he’s not going to be hesitant he’s gonna make good decisions he’s not gonna Force

Anything he’s not gonna be trying to get it all back in one shot he’s rather going to express frustration he might clap after a Miss shot or something but if you’re not watching him specifically you’re not going to really notice that right so for all you know K is still

Shooting 80% from three and even after that 30% dip in December he’s still shooting 41% from three like this is not about a shot it’s about how engaged he can stay at making winning impacts defensively and making winning impact offensively even while he shot 30% during the best stretch of the Thunder

Season you know December obviously was their was their best stretch so far not that they’ve had a bad stretch like December was fantastic for them they had a lot of big wins they had a lot of big games KAS played in all of them KAS played rotational minutes in all of them

KAS was a big part of all of them but yet he only shot 30% from three but he does not allow that to affect anything else he doesn’t allow that to affect his jump he doesn’t allow that to affect how how he plays defensively and how engaged

He is on that end of the floor and eventually it swings back around to where because he kept in that same mold of I’m gonna take my open shots confidently just gonna let him fly and then I’m gonna play good defense it eventually swings to a four four for five game from

Three and a game where Cas R was one of the biggest factors in getting this win so I think that that a lot of credit for what he is as a rookie it’s a very unique ability as a rookie to be able to to kind of do that in a game we’ll talk

About Josh gidy chadol granes G and more coming up but first want to say right now A about good friends over at priz pick check it out today at prize.com lockon NBA or use code all lowercase locked on NBA it’s available in Oklahoma it’s fantastic it’s a lot of fun what

Single morning every single day we’re here for you talking Thunder basketball Josh giddy looked much better I mean he had the eurostep Finish he had the tough and one he had just better overall uh Rim finishes he had the mid-range shot at the nail which was

Huge to beat his own defense at times um you know that was that was a big shot for him and it just continues to to look like what I’ve said of you know you you’re gonna you’re gonna want Josh skiddy to get better at scoring inside

The arc that’s going to really be the swing for him because he’s just not going to shoot enough three-pointers to where it even matters to adjust to him on the perimeter and that’s not his fault it’s just not going to be his style of play and that’s not going to be

How the Thunder play the Thunder are not going to feed him 10 three-pointers a game and if they did feed him 10 three-pointers a game he wouldn’t be shooting 40% so it’s kind of like the chicken or the egg argument so for Josh giddy where you see him improve like you

Saw the triple double against Portland you saw this game against uh you know Utah when he’s played some of these top games of his season he’s been doing damage at The Rim he’s been doing damage inside the arc and that’s where you’re going to want to see him Thrive that’s

Where he thrived in fee but he can do it and when he does it’s going to really unlock things for him and he’s done it in recent vintages of this of this season 10 rebounds nine of them defensively that’s what you’re looking for is that the thunder came into this

Game understanding hey one of the worst rebounding teams is OKC one of the best is Utah it’s going to take an all out effort it’s going to take an allout you know kind of just physicality game from this team and and kenet stepped up Josh giddy stepped up all these players

Stepped up to allow them to even up the glass at 38 a piece six assists a steal 20 points he had much better body control at The Rim really good decision- making with the ball and not ending plays too early and like what I mean by

That is is there are times where you know early on when whoever he was struggling he’d pick up his dribble way too soon and there’s nowhere to go and he just kind of froze everything right or he get the ball swung to him and he’s

Open for three but he he doesn’t know if he wants to shoot it does he want to try to drive does he want to try to pass and keep the ball Moving And So It results in just kind of this stall out for you know a split one two seconds but that’s

All the defense needs to get back Aline mind uh and take away an advantage and so he’s doing a much better job of just playing his role right just just doing what he has to do being relaxed and and he’s doing that a lot better and he’s

Playing a lot better and then I just can’t you know preach enough about how his defens has come along way as a Team Defender the way that he positions himself is the biggest thing it led to his steal right he’s positioning himself with his back to the Baseline to where

He can see everything in front of him and he can anticipate the entry passed to the post got the steel got the transition points and the Thunder were able to capitalize on that and that was just a simple fix and that was just a a simple not only positional

Fix but also just being engaged and being and being more active on the defensive end not being as as laxed but it’s really shown in the last two weeks how much better he’s gotten on defensively again with a qualifier of he’s not going to be a good point of

Attack Defender but if you look around the NBA a lot of guys are not great point of attack Defenders that are really good basketball players like that’s not going to be the standard that’s why guys like L Dort guys like case Wallace those guys kind of stand

Out a lot it’s because in the modern NBA it’s incredibly tough to be a point of attack Defender but but Josh giddy is not as bad of a Defender as he showed at the beginning of the Season he can be a really good Team Defender and I think

That he will do that um as the season goes on because he’s done it over the last two weeks he’s done it a much much better job Chad hren even in an offensive slump he had game-changing plays he had the block of Walker Kessler he he had the denial just just swallowed

Up I believe I believe it was Colin seon’s shot at the rim and then he had the game saving block uh you to end the game on Lori marinin and yes his offense was struggling six for 16 and I think that at times he was actually a little too

Unselfish like there was there was times later in that game after after those misses started to mount up where you know he’d rise up in the middle of the paint could have been a could have been an easy no one around him mid-range SHP

It tried to dump it off and that was a turnover because uh you know I think I think it was Cas that that that he kind of hit in the ankles with a pass on a on a play where he probably should have just shot it there were some open threes

Where he kind of passed it up there was a chance where he had an open three fly by dribbled in that’s open as well in the mid-range and he still kind of passed it I I I think it was just a little too unselfish and I think that was more so

Like getting lost in the way the Thunder play of the assist were working being unselfish was working finding the Cutters was working and so you got lost in just doing it over and over and over again when at times like you it’s okay to also you know shoot the ball I think

That that you know the offensive slump two for six from three that never took him out of his game he had four he had five assists he had five rebounds he had four blocks four blocks right that never took him out of what he did defensively

It goes back to what we said about K these two rookies very unique and I think that with case with case it’s obvious with Chet hren his his snap and clear next play mentality is on display every night I mean he he got rejected by Walker

Kastler he got scored on at The Rim doesn’t doesn’t matter just comes back down next play blocks Kesler you know blocks side Kessler dunk attempt like he just plays the next play and it’s funny because like when you hear him talk and the way that he addresses questions people always make

The comment of like oh he sounds like a Sam presty robot he sounds like what the Thunder want him to say I think that’s just who he is like it just is a perfect marriage of what the thunder look for and what he does but uh his ability to separate each

Side of the floor is fantastic because you’ve seen other big men you’ve seen big men not as talented as Chad hren where if they’re not getting the ball enough offensively if they’re not getting their points enough offensively it hurts their defense right or if they’re struggling offensively they’re loafing on defense

His ability to just completely separate church and state in that way is able to you know is why he’s able to still have a game-winning play in a in a night where as a big man he shot six for 16 I think it was awesome for him SGA with a ho 30o efficient

Night all I’ll say is this you know 53% from the floor six rebounds six assists a steal a massive block down the stretch whenever OKC had to get a stop he had 31 points he just kills you in the mid-range he had the n1s he’s a driving

Force downhill and it led to 17 free throws and he can pick apart any defensive look all that stuff we know you look up at the end of the game and he somehow has 31 points on on 53% from the Flor and you look at that box score

In Oklahoma City as you watch him every single game of his career and you just go okay pretty cool like that would be fantastic for any player in the NBA but with that she just kind of like expected kind of like normal kind kind of like uh

You know almost like a when you’re watching you’re just like ah SGA weird game from him right he shot 53% from the floor like like this is a f you know a fantastic game by NBA standards I think that the biggest takeway from this game for him is that

He just you just should never trap SGA and there’s a difference between trapping and double teaming double teaming is different but it’s it’s that when you come across the timeline you’re at the top of the key and then you know you are defenders in front of you and

Then the late one’s going to just kind of show on you just scramble out to you put his hands up and try to trap you at the top of the key not commit to double teaming you but just try to trap and see what you’ll do that’s a that’s a not

Smart decision by oppositions because he can use that crossover to split the defense he can use his passing ability to take advantage of now playing four on five uh and then he can also just stay calm like the whole point of trapping is like that you hope that that

Whoever you trap with the ball he’s going to panic and make a bad read make a bad pass you can get a turnover and it’s a fantastic defensive stop that’s not going to happen with SGA he’s going to either split the trap with his ball handling make the right pass you know

With his playmaking or find a way to pull it out and just reset and you can’t if he pulls it out of that trap and kind of walks back toward the timeline now you’ve really got to get back onto your original man because now they’re playing

Half court offense in the five on four so so I don’t think that like trapping is just a very smart thing and he made the Jazz pay multiple times for trapping him kenish Williams he looked back in this game you know he he might have been

A step slower too uh over the last two weeks but like he was fantastic he was physical and aggressive on the glass he had a ton of uh tough Rim finishes he only had four rebounds but he made he made a much bigger impact than that on

The glass with his ability to box out and put a body on people uh nine points two assists a steal and 17 minutes of really high level defense switching and playing really well on that end of the floor basa he is figuring things out now there’s a glaring flaw with Vasa we’re

Going to talk about but he uses that pass fake to set up his drive so well he had a nice transition bucket where he out raced the defense to the ram got an n one right he he was able to drive in the paint and his ability to drive and

Survey the floor at the same time is at a high level is what we saw in Euro league he drives in the paint he rises up as if he’s going to take this this kind of um kind of floater at the at the opposite low block but as he rises up he just

Tosses the ball over the top of the defense the opposite dunker spot where Wiggins is there to finish the job for an easy easy bucket behind the defense that is just so creative and that is just so impressive to be able to to to keep an offense connected that

Way the thing he has to learn though is like this is like the glaring flaw of him for for this week you know this week he’s played some really good basketball the only issue has been against LeBron and then again in this game against Utah He’s got to realize that like

There’s just certain transitional opportunities that you can’t do anything about like you just at some point have to wave the white flag and say look go score because when you go in LeBron’s in transition and you go touch his elbow you’re not going to alter his shot

LeBron James is going to make that a 100 times out of a 100 so now all you’ve done is give him an additional point for the Y one happened with aai baji as well you’ve got to learn that if you’re going to foul youve got to really commit to

Fouling you’ve got to ensure that you’re in the proper position to foul and ensure that you’re going to stop that initial bucket because this week now twice two weak fouls have led to an ones that that were just needless you could just not given up the additional points it
