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?

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

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.

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

Anybody telling the Oklahoma City fan base that that's what they need to do is absolutely out of their mind.

I'm gonna say, now I'm gonna get on the phone with his trainer, Drew Hamlin.

Drew, next year when this guy comes back, I need him to be able to post up in these type of situations.

Saying that they should move off of Chet is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard in my life.

All right, we've got a question from the room before we let you go.

What do you got, guys?

We've been talking about this because Brendan Haywood is a clean seven feet.
