Those guys are a tandem.

No Dunks
Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

Yeah, I think so.

No Dunks
Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

Yeah, I'm taking the Cavs in six.

No Dunks
Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

I'm buying it.

The way they ended the series, I don't know if they're slow playing round number two because we still haven't seen a steady, consistent Donovan Mitchell like we have in the past.

No Dunks
Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

And I think he'll just be ready a little bit more so after seeing an incredible perimeter defense from the Toronto Raptors.

So...

No Dunks
Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

I expect them to ride Mitchell a little bit more.

No Dunks
Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

I got Cavs in six.

No Dunks
Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

Yes.

To keep up scoring wise, Austin Reeves, I think has to just go off.

No Dunks
Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

I mean, he has to be efficient and he has to score a lot because the thunder defense is going to be good enough to,

No Dunks

to wash away a fantastic Marcus Smart or Jake LaRavia or those type of games, DeAndre Ayton included, I think Austin Reeves can create.

No Dunks
Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

He has to be good enough at that to do it efficiently because, as you said, the Thunder are going to create turnovers and they're going to take care of the ball and they're going to get more shots.

I saw this stat from John Schumer where

They averaged five more shot opportunities than the Phoenix Suns, while the Lakers had nine fewer shot opportunities against the Rockets.

No Dunks
Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

Those are shots and free throws because the Rockets grab a lot of offensive rebounds.

No Dunks

But OKC is just so good at taking care of the ball, and they've got that size.

No Dunks
Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

They're going to get more shots.

No Dunks
Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

So I think Austin Reeves is kind of the important part here.
