The Oklahoma City Thunder will look at game planning for the Denver Nuggets the same way they do every night - like a menu. Mark Daigneault explains that philosophy.
The Oklahoma City Thunder will open their season on Thursday in Ball Arena. Battling the Denver Nuggets on National television, the Thunder will be short-handed
"You got kinda like a menu, and different menu items are relevant on different nights," Daigneault said "A lot of it is like how they are playing you. If Denver comes out and they play 48 minutes of zone, zone offense becomes really important that night." "We are not like introducing new things every single night, have a menu that can pretty much cover the entire league," Daigneault said "Every game, every game plan, you are going to that menu you are finding what is most relevant, that becomes your game plan but it also can carry over to the next time you play somebody."
"The way you guard Murray may be a similar way that you guard Donovan Mitchell, so there is a cumulative effect to that...It is game to game, but it is coming from a menu that is consistent throughout the year," Daigneault explained.
