Our corner 3 point defense is awful.

This is where OKC is weak - when SGA is out. Need to build a lead here.

These NBATV announcers are so bad....

More wide open corner 3's given up.  Tough to cover ground with a 2 big lineup but that's what's hurting us this game.

Fortunately our offensive execution has been really good.  We're delivering the ball to the bigs at the right time.

I don't understand wearing away uniforms for home games. Always confuses me. I wish they would stop doing this.

Very good start to the game by JB.  SGA cooked him up at the beginning but Jaylen is giving it all back with interest.

I don't know it looks like it's working....Cs up by 7.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the two big lineup against OKC as it does lead to giving up some threes to them, but we're dominating them on the other end with their lack of size and KP and Kornet scoring in the paint.

I guess it works, and realistically that is the biggest weakness of OKC and why they struggle with bigger teams like Milwaukee.

Yeah, if we keep beating them on the glass, pinning fouls to them and beating them at the rim, then I'm mostly fine with it.  We need to do better closing out to those shots but the lineup is working.

Come on, Kornet. How do you lose that jumpball to someone six inches smaller than you? Cost us two points there.

JB came to play on both ends today. And Scal is right - our size is bothering them.

We're 13 for 17 from 2-point range.  Destroying OKC's defense.

Brown dominating and the guys are making foul shots.
