  • [The Score] - The Thunder keep showing that their weaknesses are also their strengths
    All season, the ascendent Oklahoma City Thunder profiled as an ahead-of-schedule championship contender with one glaring, potentially fatal flaw.The Thunder have the style and reputation of a small team, even though they don't actually play any small players. Their guards have tremendous positional size, the shortest player in their rotation is 6-4, and their 7-1 rookie center Chet Holmgren is one of the best rim-protectors in the league. But they don't play any big fours, and Holmgren's in the same weight class as a lot of point guards, liable to get shoulder-checked out of the way by the bruising bigs of the world. As such, the Thunder ranked 29th in defensive rebound rate and 28th in offensive rebound rate during the regular season.That didn't stop them from winning 57 games and snagging the West's No. 1 seed, because they ranked second in both offensive and defensive efficiency on first-shot half-court possessions. Their limitations are baked into their identity as a team that flies around and forces a ton of turnovers on defense while dancing circles around teams at the other end with their four-guard lineups, small-small pick-and-rolls, and relentless drive-and-kick attack. One of the big curiosities coming into the postseason was whether the pros of that style could continue to outweigh the cons as the competition and physicality ramped up.A pair of wins against a Pelicans team missing Zion Williamson doesn't necessarily constitute proof of concept, but clearing that first hurdle is still an important first step. A taut Game 1 that went down to the buzzer as the Thunder battled their own nerves and an army of pesky Pelicans perimeter defenders seemed to open the door to a competitive series. That feels less likely after OKC thoroughly dismantled New Orleans in Game 2 with a surgical, laser-focused performance.Even in going down 2-0, the Pelicans showed that there's at least one tactical battleground on which they're capable of inflicting some pain. And you can basically view that battle through the lens of one player.In Game 1, Jonas Valanciunas inhaled 20 rebounds, including nine on the offensive glass. He opened Game 2 by bulldozing his way to 11 of the game's first 16 points. The 265-pound center is the exact type of bruiser built to exploit the limitations of the Thunder's front line, and the Pelicans are particularly reliant on his offense in light of Williamson's absence and Brandon Ingram's struggles since returning from a knee injury. Valanciunas finished the game with a team-high 19 points in just 22 minutes. The issue is that Valanciunas isn't an especially mobile big, and that's something the Thunder are uniquely equipped to exploit. This is the trade-off they've been winning all year. It's how they were able to give up 31 rebounds to Jusuf Nurkic on March 3 and still beat the Suns by eight.Holmgren can stretch Valanciunas out to the 3-point line or dust him off the bounce. And he did, repeatedly, en route to 26 points on 9-of-13 shooting with a plus-32 on-court rating in Game 2. Your browser does not support the video tag. TNTWhat's interesting is that the Pelicans kept giving Holmgren that advantageous matchup rather than cross-matching Valanciunas onto Josh Giddey or even Lu Dort and putting a switchier defender on Holmgren to neutralize the pick-and-pop game. We saw them do that a handful of times when these teams met during the regular season, with Trey Murphy usually getting the Holmgren assignment.New Orleans isn't going to switch Valanciunas onto Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Jalen Williams, and JV doesn't have much hope of recovering back out to Holmgren after dropping back against his ball screens. So the Pelicans have tried a different kind of coverage against those pick-and-pops, having a third defender rotate up from the weak side to take Holmgren while the rest of the defense shifts and Valanciunas flows to the corner.That worked pretty well in Game 1, but it's far from a fail-safe. If the weak-side defender isn't hyperalert and rotating in a timely fashion, as Ingram wasn't in the GIF below on an early Game 2 possession, the coverage breaks down: Your browser does not support the video tag. TNTEven when the Pelicans did execute the coverage properly in Game 2, the Thunder were prepared to attack it with quick drives and crisp ball movement: Your browser does not support the video tag. TNTNew Orleans had a brief run of success defending with Valanciunas at the back of a 2-3 zone, but that too eventually got solved. The Thunder are brimming with shooting and ball-handling skill, and will probably find a way to prod at Valanciunas' limitations no matter where he is. They've surely prepared for a scenario in which he guards Giddey, and will have lineup and schematic counters ready if or when he does.Still, it's surprising the Pelicans haven't at least tried to find Valanciunas safer harbor on defense considering how important he is to their offense right now. We'll see if they a...

Online sites for free NBA live stream

In addition to the nationally-broadcast NBA games highlighted previously, all other NBA games are broadcast on regional sports networks available in different parts of the country. So if you’re a fan hoping to use a streaming TV service to watch the local NBA team, you must check and see if the package includes the regional sports network with rights to air the games. The internet links listed below are suited mostly to a mobile device. Some streaming providers will allow you to sign in with an email and password from your existing account with a Cable, Satellite, or Telco TV Provider with no additional cost.

It is possible that the NBA with its broadcast partner TNT will offer a free streamed presentation of any particular game, subject to time slot and teams matched up. When checking whether your chosen team is to be streamed for a scheduled game, visit the NBA.com site and find the scheduled matchup(s) found along the page's left column. Locate the "Watch" link to click on which will then present you with a "How To Watch" selection palate to choose from. If it is available you will see Video Streams... Watch TNT offered on the palate to select.

Also, check to see if the TNT Overtime option appears within the NBA League Pass selection box (depending on what teams are playing) which should allow you some free streaming options to select from.

Keep in mind that free streaming may not run as smoothly as a premium video service. Revisiting these streaming sites will help you learn how to best navigate them. Sometimes there are ads to click through. There is a reason why it's free. If the stream is not working properly or lagging, just refresh the page or try another stream channel on the same network. Reddit NBA streams will generally provide a listing of newly activated streams, so check just before game time to find out what's available.
