If we are being honest, the Suns don't have much of a chance against the Thunder in this series. But if they want any semblance of hope of turning this first round into anything but a sweep or a gentleman's sweep, then they really need to move the ball and stop settling into bad isolation possessions.

One of the biggest wins the Thunder had in Game 1 was their ability to funnel shots to Dillon Brooks. Any time Brooks is taking a shot, that is one less shot from Devin Booker, among others.

Brooks shot a tour date of 6/22 from the field and 3/10 from beyond the arc.

The Thunder should continue to let Brooks bomb away, there is some variance with him where he will eventually get hot for a stretch or a game, but as I said if you can let Dillon Brooks think he is Kobe Bryant out there and needs to play hero ball for the Suns, that is something OKC should take every singel time and would likely see this series end sooner rather than later with the Thunder moving on to round 2.
