Maybe Oscar Robertson Was Right

Steph Curry looking pretty pedestrian in this series. OKC playing him rough.

For all the people who said small ball is the way to play now, OKC is proving them wrong. They have played big lineups against the Spurs and Warriors and have pretty much dominated.

Adams
Kanter
Ibaka
Durant
Westbrook

That's huge.

Billy Donovan has been a tremendous hire.

It's hard to believe it's taking these guys this long to figure out how to stop

him. Whenever someone was lighting us up in high school we put a man on him and told him to get in his jock and stay there. Make his life miserable, don't worry about fouling out.
Even send a hatchet man in for a few minutes to really work him over and get in his head.

The way to play is pretty much always going to be doing things different from the majority of the teams and executing better.

I am surprised though that OKC is able to shut down the long range game with that line up. Figured after Westbrook, everybody would be vulnerable to getting beat off the drible or would have to sag back and leave open shots. I havent' been watching; are they just extending a zone aggressively and letting Adams and Kanter clean up behind them?

Having Westbrook and Durant healthy hasn't hurt him.
