For the Thunder to have another guy like that that they can bring in is huge.

And I don't know what the impact we'll see of him in the postseason.

He'll be in and out of the rotation, I would guess.

Yeah, he was telling me in the locker room after the game just how tricky it is to guard James Harden in the pick and roll, especially with these roll guys that are really good, specifically Jared Allen.

And he said, like, you almost have to try to bait him into taking those floaters, which he's really good at.

So he's like, you kind of have to pick your poison.

But he's like, my main goal with all of that was to kill any of the dump-offs, kill any of the alley-oops.

He was like, I was not going to allow any of that to happen.

And any of the in-between stuff, I was going to try to contest.

And I thought that he executed that so well today.

Another thing is the rebounding, too.

Mark Dignot mentioned in post-game that...

Their minutes with Chet as the lone center have not been as bad with him, you know, on the boards with him as the lone center.

So he told me, I asked him about that.

I said, Mark said this.

And he said, well, I feel like I left five out there today that I should have gotten.

I was like, wow, you thought you were going to get 20 rebounds today?

Okay, Chet.

But yeah, I think that he's certainly a deserving deep boy candidate.

I think that he does an incredible job for the Thunder.
