“Our whole OKC film session was imagine this ball handler right here, Giddey, or whoever it was, imagine the ball handler is Zion. Are we going to look like this where he has an ocean of driving space, because we’ll lose again.”

Jose Alvarado is out here doing some shooting before tonight’s game. Seems to be moving around pretty well.
He’ll be out again tonight with an oblique strain. pic.twitter.com/cmKI2SJzRS7:08 PM
