So here's the thing. So think about that. Like, that's a good change up, right? Like, let's throw out Daniels and not Dante Nas. And offensively, that's really interesting. Defensively, run around, scramble, put two on Shea, scramble out of it, whatever. Guys, if that's not your identity, that's something that works for a couple minutes, not for a couple games. You know what I mean?

It's like whenever people were saying, hey, Minnesota should go zone because it worked for Denver. I went back through and looked at all of my Minnesota game notes. And I'm not saying I like take... great notes always on zone possessions, but usually I make note of it for a team because it shows up.

And I'm like, Sam, I don't have a whole lot of notes on zone being something they were great at or whatever. It's like, so then you try to go to it in the biggest moment of the season. How much confidence do the players even have in that strategy, let alone the coach? So it's hard to get away from your identity at this point in the season whenever there's more on the line now than at any point.

So I tracked two possessions of it in game one. One, they immediately gave up the baseline cut to Hartenstein and he got the lob. The second one was a tough J-Dub mid-range. So like whatever, that's neutral possession defensively. In this game, like I said, I already highlighted the Caruso back-to-back ones. Chet had one.

They gave on the very first one after a timeout, they gave up a wing three-point attempt to Dubb. He misses, but then Kaysen got an offensive rebound and then I think scored a layup off of the offensive rebound. I think they had two good possessions when they went to it in the third quarter. They forced back-to-back three-point attempts that were contested from Oklahoma City.

Also, real quick, Andrew, I've texted you about this. As good as OKC is, and they are awesome, And for as much as this is a dribble pass shoot team, they might be the worst lob throwing team in the NBA. Right or wrong? Yes.

I'm just like, this is the ultimate WeDraft skilled players organization, and they missed so many lobs. Even the one Kaysen threw to Chet in transition last night was an awful pass.
