Mike Malone has a ball club the OKC Thunder fanbase wishes they had at the present. Tough, smart, and full of character. Young guys with a vet like Paul Milsap to balance the roster.
Thirty-six hours after losing in the fourth overtime on the road, they bounced back on Sunday to defeat Portland 116-112 on the road to even this Western Conference semi-final which has been very even to date and fun to watch.
It just goes to show what good general managing and good coaching look like in the present day NBA. You have to be flexible. You have to morph your style. You can’t live five years behind the curve as Sam Presti seems comfortable in doing each season in Oklahoma City.
Of the four teams left do you see a team with the player who fills the shooting guard position not being able to shoot?
Of course not.
The end.
