Two 3-point attempts in Game 2. His biggest weakness is his pull-up three. It's the ONE shot he's a little hesitant with. Just drop.

The obvious adjustment after the first two games was stop picking up SGA at halfcourt and start pinching in off of shooters, and Chris Finch appears to have made that adjustment. It may not be enough, but it’s Minnesota’s best shot to guard this team.

LOVE that defensive scheme. Lower pick up points on SGA, dare him to take that pull-up three, it's the one shot he doesn't love.

People reacted to the way one game was officiated, this one is being officiated differently. You guys can defend your guy but constantly trying to take the moral high ground is OBNOXIOUS from any fanbase.

(this has been the issue with him setting the higher pick and roll. his roll gets him to the *elbow* at best. even worse with unders from OKC and rescreens. get him with conley, go lower with the screens, let him roll)

✅ 3+ 1q reb +130 ✅ 5+ 1q reb +850 Ant just keeps making us rebounding money. And he played hurt for 3 minutes of that and still cashed with 2 minutes to spare. 🐜 💰

Hearing the Game 3 lineup change being strongly considered by the Knicks is to move Mitchell Robinson to starting lineup and have Josh Hart come off the bench. My man CP "The Fanchise" said earlier that NYK was strongly considering a change ahead of G3. NYK starting lineup is -50 in

There are always a lot of "holy shit" stats in a blowout but it feels particularly notable that the third quarter is almost over and the Thunder as a team have made 19 field goals all game while Anthony Edwards by himself has made 12.

They talked about this strategy quite a bit on the broadcast but the numbers are wild... Average pickup distance for SGA by Minnesota's defense: Game 1: 47.8 feet Game 2: 46.0 feet Game 3: 35.0 feet
