That said, if the game gets out of hand I hope Mitch uses the opportunity to try different lineups (wanna see a lineup of Castle/Harper/Vassell/Olynyk/Wemby myself at some point in the coming games imo). Also wanna see Sochan get some extended run to either see if he can have an impact in this matchup and rebuild his confidence or (more likely) further solidify his time in SA is done.
Expect the Thunder to throw the kitchen sink at us. A desperate Champions hearing 'dethronement', 'kryptonite', 'next rivalry' talk will go hard for a 'statement game' on a marquee date.
