Yet we still have no good solution when he's out of their lineup. OKC is just built to outwork their opponent up and down the court, and to play bigger than they are when Chet is not playing. Jaylin Williams is their Maxi Kleber. But I'm hoping we can find some ways to punish them more when Chet is out….
I don’t think that’s going to survive the first road tipoff. Remember how awful Gafford was first 2 games in LA? The whistles will be different at home. Our younger and bigger fellas will have a chance. I expect Lively and Gaff to both look like monsters tomorrow night.
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
