I was at the game tonight. Pretty entertaining game even tho OKC had half a lineup. Few thoughts from the game:
-OKC hit every f***in shot in the 1st Q. Even when the raps had a hand up OKC made it.
-James Johnson looked really good as long as he doesn't shoot a jump shot. Great defence and surprisingly a good passer.
-Lowry seems to have no confidence in his shot right now. Hopefully the 3s start falling as he's had some open looks. Not to worried
-I like the high volume of 3s as a few seemed to just barely rim out. With Amir and JV out you pretty much had to play drive and kick anyways.
-Amir is really missed on both sides of the floor. He's a great defender and great on the PnR which is missing right now. Chuck Hayes has zero ability on offence. Worst finisher I think I've ever seen.
-Ross still can't dribble the basketball and needs to take the ball hard to the rim instead of laying up 5 feet from the basket.
-JV needs to dunk the ball.
