OKC’s rebounding without Hartenstein is definitely a bit of an issue

moby323 | 76ers

Hartenstein one of the more underrated players in the league.

Chet is a good but not great rebounder because he can get pushed around by smaller players without Hartenstien they’re not huge

It’s not Chet. It’s the rest of their players.

They’re a team full of 6’6” and below guys.

They don’t have a mix of 6’7”, 6’8” or 6’9” guys to throw out there.

It’s actually kinda crazy how they managed to survive basically half the season without Chet or IHart last year.

OKC has needed a big forward for the past 3 seasons

the most Sam Presti did to address that was

2 seasons ago: trade for washed Gordon Hayward. sure enough PJ Washington punished them in the playoffs
last postseason: simply have their guards continue to size up. Caruso was otherworldly in pivotal defensive moments, but nearly every power forward hurt them in the playoffs (Aaron Gordon outrebounded them with literally 1 leg, Obi Toppin even had a standout game in the Finals)
this year: draft Thomas Sorber. but he tore his ACL. this trade deadline has to be the year Presti cashes in for a big forward. its been too long of a need for them

i’ve said this before and i’ll say it again, they shoulda sold high on that clippers pick and traded for a decent wing.

I seriously think that may be their downfall against this year’s Nuggets team. They don’t have the girth on the wings to match up to them.

isnt jdub and dieng like 6 7

AQWrazorX | Thunder

JDubi is about 6’5 but he bulked up, plays PF a lot and has long arms so it feels like he should be taller than he actually is

wow thats impressive

so cody is legit taller than him……… nice

8’10” standing reach, only 2 inches less than iHart and 8 inches less than Chet.

JDub is 6’4” or so with a 7’2” wingspan.

We also drafted Sorber who is 6’9” with a 7’6” wingspan. But he is out all year

Presti won’t make a trade. These guys are obsessed with winning every trade and he won’t give up 3 picks for Trey Murphy beside it “doesn’t fit the value chart” but it would guarantee them another chip. Dork ass doofus.

We were outstanding at creating extra possessions last season pressuring the ball and generating turnovers. It doesn’t really feel the same during this slump.

14-4 turnovers in favor of the Heat and 21-5 OREB in favor of the Heat. I’m amazed we only lost by 2.

captmorgan50 | Thunder

And JDub is our Guard/Center and he was out

AnkitPancakes | Thunder

We were only without both of them for 4 games.

I don’t think that’s correct seeing as there were 5 games between when Holmgren went down before Hartenstein came back, and then on top of that there were other games throughout the season where both didn’t play, so the number is likely closer to 10.

Chet isn’t the problem

Everyone is like 6’3 when Jdub and hartenstein are out

Strange1130 | Thunder

Yeah if Hartenstein gets injured during the playoffs we are probably cooked

Was a banger of a game, can’t be too upset about the result. We know this is what we look like without Hart, is what it is. The Sorber injury really hurt

Hartenstein and Caruso are probably the biggest ceiling raisers currently in the NBA.

Old_Supermarket_7575 | Thunder

Caruso is also a very good floor dropper

Not only that. Most players are playing much worse compared to last season and the beginning of this season. And the refereeing is more normal compared to last season.

RiskyBallaxd | Wizards

I think even more impressive than the offensive rebounding was only having 4 TOs versus OKC

Strange1130 | Thunder

11 | 5 hours ago

Yeah this is the real outlier. All of our games while Hart’s been hurt have been us getting beat down on the glass but we usually make up for it somewhat with very low turnovers

55% vs. 36% and we lost lmfao. Good win for the Heat.

That is the definition of “culture” win. When you look at the box score, the Heat’s stats were just downright ugly.

It sucks ass that Hart is this responsible for our rebounding effort. We’re fucked if he goes down or gets in foul trouble during the playoffs.

Heat play analytical ball for sure. If they make a good percentage of their many shots they can hang with or blow anyone out. But if they miss it gets ugly.

The Heat have the same feeling as like the 7 seconds or less Suns if they’re going in that night good luck

They also had the same amount of free throws, so that doesn’t explain the difference either

First we had free throw discrepancies and now we have shot attempt discrepancies! The refs have to be stopped!!!

jcheeseball | Heat

That’s the secret to getting the same amount of free throws vs okc, just have to shoot 34 more shots than them.

moby323 | 76ers

Good.

The Miami Heat took 34 more shots than the OKC Thunder
