Thunder Fatal flaws that will collapse in the NBA Final Game 7 vs. Pacens

After the arrays of the wound 108-91 win over the thunder to force the game 7, Oklahoma City Coach Mark Daigneault perspective The problems his team faced.

“First of all, credit Indiana. I thought they had, obviously, earned us a majority of 48 minutes, and that’s the story of the game,” Daigneal said. “They went out there and attacked the game. From our point of view, it was uniscurious. It was disappointing, but it was one guy. We were not where we were to be at both ends of the floor for larger games.

DaigneaULT sees what each NBA fan with a small hoop can see knowledge. The Thunder doesn’t look invincible anymore. For the first time, this postseason look vulnerable. Sometimes they don’t look in a better team either. It seems inevitable that thunder will win this series. It’s really to make the worst position that okc can be inside.

There are many things that did not work for them and last night and during this series. But the biggest drawback that bothered them for the first six games and could prevent them from losing this series is a completely insult. The thunder is a huge team and they demonstrated it throughout the season. They have an incredible collection of talent with versatility and skill that corresponds to the new era. The offensive style Shai Gilgeous-alexander resembles the mastery of the middle range and was remarkable for a good part of these finals.

What these playoffs have shown, especially in the Indiana and Peigrases, is that although they possess a historical defense, with all five players who defend each other and even the weakest defense counsel holding their own in each rotation, they face significant restrictions. Game 1 This is perfectly shown and seems to put a claw on questions instead of being completely solved.

Next game 1, I used to talk about how criminal offense looked weakly And they had to deal with properly take control of the series.

“But I think it’s the biggest weakness that it showed that the attack on half the court is offensive. Sometimes it seemed to be their offensive attack just predated to give SGA balls and” letting him cook. “The team took several shots where I believe they were sick, which did not allow them to properly encourage guidance to prevent pagers from another miraculous procedure.”

It only seems that they would not really set significant adjustments to that front, almost looks like they were worse. In the game 6, thunder as a team had only 14 help. None of the Starter Oklahoma City even crossed two aids in the game, and Alexander had only two assists. Even in its miraculous game 4 wins, which had only 11 assists and Alexander finished the game without assistance.

As we enter the game 7, the offense is still “released SGA COOK” and that game plan simply will not work against the Rick Carlisle coaching team. Carlisle and his coaching staff watched the film and those, in the concert with Tirees Haliburton, have worked to limit their reversions and take one of the biggest lightning forces: their transition to crossing.

We know that lighting works to force reverses, rejected passage and Chet Holmgren blocks recordings to fire their transitional attack. The pacers had only 11 turns and thursday evening had four steals and four blocks on Thursday night. This means that it is more often than not, Thunder had to operate on a half-court.

Their semi-court offense is sometimes awful. We barely see any ball movement and the offense often stops when SGA has the ball in the hands. Alexander missed several easy passing readings of these series, which can’t happen when you are the best player on contersia and the defense especially realizes you to stop you.

Thunder generates a lot of violations with fast breaks, but when it comes to setting in semi-judicial situations, they seem to fight. It is historically known for this dominance and defense identity, this lack of creativity in criminal colors are their Achilles heel. Their impossibility of adaptation could eventually lead to fall in this NBA final, despite being clear favorites.

To win the first game of NBA finals 7, because the historical victory of Cavaliers over the warriors in 2016. years, Mark Daigneault must find an insulting offensive call. They will have to find a way to discard the defense pagers and find out some way to unlock Holmgren, who had 9 points in the game 5 and 4 points in the game 6. You have to feed a big man!

And, SGA must end on Sunday night with at least five assists. Its statistics at the end of the game 7 cannot be zero or two assists. He should be inserted on the level of the game he had in the game 5 where 31 points and 10 assists had. Bakeries will throw the kitchen sink on him and if the offense steps off when the ball hits his arms, maybe it’s time to prepare Larry O’Brien trophy and champagne for Peiran.

I believe that thunder can win this series and chose thunder to win this series in six. It is clear that I was a bit of my predictions because it goes seven games! But, a limited offensive attack against defense of Pejčanika, which is clearly adapted from the game one to the game seven is how to lose a historically dominant season.
