Who should the Sixers take in the NBA Draft? + Thunder Rolling | Slam N Jam

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.

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.
