GAME 5: OKC (3-3) @ DAL (2-3) | 111-117 OT loss

[KillerLeft]

The team last year was tough.  They may have lacked a enforcer, but they were tough....mentally tough too.   I thought Kidd had a lot to do with this.  But right now, we don't have the toughness.    Trying to figure out if something was lost, or is it the new(ish) guys or if it is something that eventually grows as the year goes on.

The toughness of last years team was probably my favorite thing about that group.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but don't sleep on Brunson's role in the toughness of last season's team. He was clearly one of the team's leaders and that's a significant void to fill. It's not just about replacing him on court.
