Mo Dakhil

And I think you started to see that.

And as he wears down, he drifts further and further away from the paint, which I don't blame him.

Like it's hard and it's physical and it's tough in that regard.

But like he's got to find a way to get back into the paint.

And I think that's got to be stuff that, you know, I think Mitch Johnson has got to do a better job putting him in spots.

I think they got to find different ways to get him looks and closer into that area so that he's not drifting around the three point line.

Yeah, and I think they're leaving something on the table.

Every time the Thunder go under a screen successfully, it needs to be an automatic rescreen and get that lower opportunity there.

Because once they go under, they're giving you real estate.

In that area, and that's the opportunity to just immediately flip, set the re-screen, come right back off, and then you're closer, and now it's harder.

The other thing that I found was really problematic when I re-watched the game this morning was just the spacing seemed so...

off for the Spurs in the sense of a lot of cutting with that.

There was a play like, you know, we talked about the start of the fourth quarter.

There was a stretch in that second quarter where they cut the lead.

You know, it's 44-45.

It looks like they're about to make this more of a game.

The Thunder go on a run, but somewhere in that run,

Castle tries to thread the needle to Harper along the baseline.

And it's at the same time Kelton Johnson is cutting from the above the break three area.

And that allowed Dort to get in there and get a deflection.
