OKC@Denver Game 6

[Coolbreeze44]

We just have to find a way to stay sharp till Tuesday

[TAFKASP]

More rest for the Wolves, more work for their next aponent!

[Phenom]

What is everyone's assessment of JDub and Chet? Are they ready for the moment? Their ability to force turnovers is concerning.

Aaron Gordon might have tweaked his hammy. His 3 ball would alter how the Wolves like to defend but if MPJ can't be effective then we can treat AG like we had treated MPJ and shut that water off.

And whoever wins game 7 only has Monday off before Game 1.

Well, we've seen how that works out. It's not necessarily an advantage for the rested team. Now I do think the games after that become an advantage with the cumulative wear and tear starting to stack up and the previously rested team getting the rust out in Game 1.

Very good but not great players. The Thunder have a true Batman in SGA, but not a real Robin. But they have a lot of depth and really get after you.

I wonder about their whole team being ready for the moment.

JDub has really struggled. Does NOT look like a legit #2 option, at least in this series. Holmgren has been a mixed bag. If we play OKC, it will be interesting if Holmgren's length or Julius's strength wins out in that matchup.

Yeah, they are a system team where everyone fits really well and they are extremely cohesive and well coached. Their "Robin" is their team defense. But SGA is seemingly their only real isolation threat, so when things break down on offense or their defense isn't creating transition opportunities, their options are limited in half court sets outside of SGA driving and scoring or driving and kicking.

Obviously I want our Wolves to advance, but a Pacers/Thunder finals would be a nice consolation prize...2 systems teams. Adam Silver wouldn't like 2 of the 7 smallest markets in the finals though.

The Pacers are in danger of being jobbed next round.
