Yeah, that's just that's not sustainable.

It's called a math problem.

Well, but that's, that's why they need a guard.

I mean, there's so much pressure on reach effort to be that guy for them.

I know there was some hope that a man Thompson could eventually become that guy, but they just need a table setter, an organizer.

And to your point about the, the shock creation, you could see it in the fourth quarter, the,

quality of the shots that OKC was getting versus the quality Houston was getting on every possession.

It was night and day.

And me and you, we've both had our gripes about OKC's half court offense.

So you're not comparing special to bad.

You're comparing like a mediocre to good half court offense in OKC that can get stagnant sometimes to the Rockets where it feels very reliant on Kevin Durant isolation and Shangoon isolation.

And if both of those guys aren't dominating, they're just not going to win.

in a playoff series, right?

It's shot making is what they actually rely on.

I will say, can I play devil's advocate here for a second?

Please.

That's why we're doing this.

Yeah, you're right.

I do think they do match up well with OKC because the size that they have obviously gives them an advantage on the offensive rebounds, which can match the math battle.

The Thunder are also a team that can go through inconsistent stretches as a shooting team.
