.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\nSAN ANTONIO \u2014 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tends to think for a beat before answering. It takes a moment to conjure how to be simultaneously thoughtful, calculated, transparent and mysterious.<\/p>\n
But when asked about how to get Chet Holmgren going, after the San Antonio Spurs\u2019 Game 4 win Sunday to even the series, SGA\u2019s pre-answer processing lasted noticeably longer. The silence between \u201cums\u201d banged like an indicting gavel. He rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes while rummaging his mind for the words.<\/p>\n
It took 14 seconds for Gilgeous-Alexander to find his answer for increasing Holmgren\u2019s involvement on offense.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, Chet\u2019s an easy target to find,\u201d the two-time MVP said eventually. \u201cSo, probably just, like, finding him more in the dunker (spot), and when he\u2019s spacing. Just put him in better positions to use his strengths as an offensive talent. Um, I don\u2019t know exactly what that looks like because I just got done playing. But watching film, we\u2019ll find ways for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
See, that wasn\u2019t so hard.<\/p>\n
Except that wasn\u2019t the answer. And SGA knows it wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not to put words in his mouth he never uttered, but instead to acknowledge SGA\u2019s genius as it pertains to hoop. As we were made acutely aware, he knows what a pro needs. Putting Holmgren in particular spots on the floor won\u2019t magically solve his struggles. Positioning certainly doesn\u2019t explain why Holmgren\u2019s averaging 11.3 points on 46.9 percent shooting in this series \u2014 which is a 6-point drop in scoring and a near 10 percent drop in field goal percentage from his regular-season averages. His current production looks even worse compared with the last series against the Los Angeles Lakers, when he averaged 20 points on 60.8 percent shooting.<\/p>\n
The biggest reason did not make SGA\u2019s answer.<\/p>\n
The Thunder players won\u2019t talk about this candidly. For one, they\u2019re not the kind of team to publicly call out each other. Their brotherhood was fashioned differently. But also because what\u2019s understood doesn\u2019t need to be explained. And everyone understands what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n
Victor Wembanyama is owning Chet Holmgren.<\/p>\n
Holmgren shouldn\u2019t be shamed for being outplayed by Wembanyama. No glory gets lost in being bested by a player so unique and transcendent that Spurs fans show up to games dressed like extras in \u201cMars Attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n
But in a battle of slender big men, in this era where post presence is increasingly measured by length as much as girth, Holmgren is disappearing behind Wembanyama. The absence of Jalen Williams \u2014 and the loss of Ajay Mitchell for Game 4 \u2014 highlights that reality for the Oklahoma City Thunder. In neon.<\/p>\n
The Thunder\u2019s problem: Holmgren hasn\u2019t quite made it a battle, not one worthy of a showdown between All-NBA players.<\/p>\n
But with the Western Conference finals now a best-of-three series, and the Thunder reclaiming home-court advantage, Holmgren can still leave his imprint. The Thunder needs him to make it a battle against Wemby.<\/p>\n
Holmgren topped out at 14 points in Game 3. In OKC\u2019s two losses, he totaled 18 points on 5-of-15 shooting. He\u2019s being outscored in this series by Alex Caruso and Jared McCain. Holmgren\u2019s taken just four more shots than Cason Wallace. Backup big Jaylin Williams made nearly as many 3s (eight) as Holmgren has taken (nine). Holmgren leads the Thunder in paint touches in this series but ranks eighth in points per paint touch.<\/p>\n
Holmgren made third-team All-NBA because he\u2019s critical to Oklahoma City\u2019s two-way potency. We know he\u2019s got it in him.<\/p>\n
Time to fight back, Chet. Simple as that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think no matter what I do out there,\u201d Holmgren said after Game 4, \u201cI always expect more out of myself, expect better. I can see a lot of opportunities in the game where I have to be better and take advantage of, and I\u2019m gonna do everything I can to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Often, these head-up comparisons are oversimplifications. Strengths, positions and schemes render them but virtual squabbles \u2014 such as how this series pits MVP finalists Wemby and SGA against each other. It\u2019s really a measurement of who is better at dominating because these two don\u2019t face off enough to make an earnest clash.<\/p>\n
But Wembanyama and Holmgren? They play in the front court and could play the same position for significant stretches of the game. They also have history, a rivalry that dates to their teenage FIBA battles as touted talents. Even more importantly, Wembanyama makes it a thing with his blatant competitive aggressiveness toward Holmgren.<\/p>\n
It seemed Holmgren entered Game 4 ready to match that energy. Not even 90 seconds into the game, he reacted instinctively with a 45 cut on a Wallace drive. Wallace, driving into Wembanyama, made the dish to his slashing 7-footer. Wembanyama rotated, and, in a blink, the game delivered a moment between them.<\/p>\n
To his credit, Holmgren didn\u2019t back down. He did what he was supposed to do: try to put Wembanyama in the rim. Holmgren took off outside the restricted area with two hands and tried to dunk over the freshly minted Defensive Player of the Year.<\/p>\n
But Wemby knew exactly who was trying to put him on a poster. He hasn\u2019t missed a moment to dance with Holmgren \u2014 whether he\u2019s isolated on Holmgren at the top or challenging Holmgren\u2019s attacks on the rim.<\/p>\n
Wembanyama blocked the dunk, falling back onto the hardwood. While he was down, he raised his right fist in the air.<\/p>\n
But the key for Oklahoma City? Holmgren went at him. He can\u2019t stop doing that. Holmgren, according to NBA Courtside, took just five shots with Wembanyama as the defender in the first four games. Conversely, Wembanyama went 4-of-9 against Holmgren in Game 1 \u2014 though that\u2019s been reduced to 0-of-3 against Holmgren over the last three games.<\/p>\n
He can\u2019t settle for being a complementary player. He can\u2019t be taken out of this series. He\u2019s gotta close the gap between him and Wemby.<\/p>\n
This series heads to territories where game plans and familiarity start solving role players. Caruso played well enough to garner conference finals MVP consideration after making 12 of 18 wide-open 3s in the first three games. But in Game 4, he missed the only shot he took in 14 minutes of action. Jared McCain, after dazzling in Game 3, had arguably the worst shooting performance of his young career, missing all five of his 3s while shooting 1 of 10 from the field. But the truth is, they\u2019ve done their part.<\/p>\n
Game 5 overflows with pressure. The stakes ratchet up the intensity. These games tend to require a higher level. Stars must shine.<\/p>\n
Holmgren is a star. He must, for the sake of the Thunder\u2019s repeat, for the continued construction of the Oklahoma City dynasty, shine like one.<\/p>\n
\u201cChet doesn\u2019t care about anything besides winning, and he\u2019s gonna do what it takes to win,\u201d Gilgeous-Alexander said. \u201cThat\u2019s his biggest skill \u2026 no ego. No agenda. No nothing besides trying to go out there and win. I have no doubt in my mind that Chet will go out there and give the game his all and put (in) his full effort. And that\u2019s all you can ask from guys. Go out there and give it their all and see where it takes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Holmgren doesn\u2019t deserve condemnation. This series can\u2019t be considered a referendum of any kind. Rough series happen. Some matchups present real problems. At 23, he might have a few more of these rough ones.<\/p>\n
But it doesn\u2019t lessen the Thunder\u2019s need for him now. And it\u2019s not enough to turn up the aggressiveness when Wembanyama sits. That\u2019s only nine minutes per game and likely to decrease as the series progresses.<\/p>\n
No, Holmgren must get his with Wembanyama on the court \u2014 even if it means doing it against Wembanyama.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what SGA didn\u2019t<\/em> say during that pregnant pause.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nSource link <\/a>
