Brendan Haywood

He has the ability to post up in the low block, in the mid post, like he's 6'8".

And that is what they really miss.

Because when the game slows down in the playoffs, most of your best players have to be able to score from the mid range.

I know we love the three.

I know we love the three ball, but you're not winning in a fourth quarter of a close game by ice only shooting step back threes.

All just traditionally in the NBA, you're winning because your best player is creating a problem for the mid post where he either scores a bucket or creates a shot for somebody else because he gets double or triple team from that area.

We're still doing the autopsy on Oklahoma City, but all the attention is being paid to whether or not Chet Holmgren should be there next year.

If you're the Oklahoma City Thunder and you're Sam Presti, are you running it back with Chet Holmgren?

Listen, man, let me tell you one thing, man.

Chris, I'm going to give all your listeners, I'm going to give you this one for free.

Anybody telling you that Chet shouldn't be there don't know what the hell they're talking about.

Listen, let's not forget Chet Holmgren is 24.

He had a bad series.

It's not like he forgot how to play basketball.

I saw that he didn't take advantage of smaller players too.

I saw that he looked scared of the moment too.

But are we going to overreact and trade a 24-year-old that's a two-way player at 7'2", that's able to dribble, shoot, make athletic plays at the rim?

was an all-NBA, all-defensive performer.

He was second in defensive player of the year.

And we want to trade that guy and overreact to one series?
