Thunder display biggest weakness in wasting Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 52-point performance vs. Warriors

Gilgos Alexander tea 52 points in a loss 116-109 against Golden State Warriors Wednesday. Below is a statistical collapse of the amount thunder A crime was responsible for.

• Gilgeous-alexander made 22.2 % of Oclahoma City 3 (two out of nine).
• 45.2 % of Oclahoma City 2 (14 out of 31) was made.
• 47.7 % of Oklahoma City points (52 out of 109).
• It has made 90 % of their free rumors (18 out of 20).

Gallin Williams Carrying his share of offensive load against Woriors, and recorded 26 in the defeat. But the rest of the team? Not much. The other three thunder team scored 10 points in the shooting 5 out of 23. Isaiah Joe He scored 17 points from the bench, but they came largely on the thieves of Gilgus-Alexander that was created. Oklahoma City reserves made two shots inside the arch throughout the night. Joe, Williams and Gilgus Alexander were the only players in thunder who made three times. The rest of the team opened fire on 0 for 17.

This, clearly, is an abnormal night. Thunder was built on the idea that Gilgeous -alexander generates a lot of pressure on the edge to the point that his teammates will be able to play their role by draining the three pomegranates he creates. Last year, they were the shooting team of 3 accuracy points in The American Professional League It works on this theory. They have retreated to the average this season, but this says less than the shooting of their list than the 3 -point shot from one point to one year to another and even a game. Sometimes 3s enters and sometimes they do not.

What matters to thunder here is what happens when they do not. They did not do the qualifiers a year ago, as the thunder lost the second round chain against Dallas Maverx Shooting 33.5 % deep. They did not do against Warriors on Wednesday. If thunder will reach his roof this season, they will need to find a way to generate points when they are not if they hope to achieve this through four watershed rounds.

Get Chit Holmegren Return in this regard will help, but Wednesday’s loss showed how thunder depends on the best players. Gilgeous-alexander was amazing against warriors. Williams himself was the stars. Thunder still could not be born any crime besides the 3s that were missing because no one in the list creates advantages off the saliva continuously.

This is a thunderbolt problem. Frankly, there is no problem with a list Uninterrupted For Thunder team with historical cache of the first round choices in the future, and the flexibility of Cap with a significant and smallest list in the American Professional League. If they want to trade to create shots, they can surely.

This is not a great market for such players with the deadline now one week away. High -end options like Zach Lavinand De’aaron Fox and Jimmy Butler Earn a lot of money. Thunder will have to dismantle his team for such a person. There are cheaper options like Colin Sixon and White cup It is likely to be on the table, but none of them will be soft on the best defense in the Oklahoma City League. The Thunder can offer a weaker defender in the mixture of their depth at the end of the earth, but this unit is what makes it distinctive. They will be careful to tamper with it. If Fox fell with San Antonio Spears As it was preferred, watch Chris Paul. He has a history with thunder, and if it is included in the deal for the lid purposes and then bought, if the reunification is logical to both sides.

Oklahoma City has a week of dislocation through these options, or using this huge stock of shots, trying to persuade some new sellers of hesitating sellers. Nights may be like this rare in the normal season, but as we saw in the Dallas series a year ago, they will be more common in the qualifiers. When they come, they can’t expect to win when Gilgeous-alexander and Williams carry a lot of offensive burden. Whether it is through internal improvement or an external addition, another person needs to generate points constantly if thunder will win the championship.
