Chapter 1: What happened in the Thunder vs. Timberwolves game?
Selbst wenn sie jünger sind, denke ich, dass sie eine Maturität haben, die wahrscheinlich größer ist als das 2016 Thunder Team. Um ehrlich zu sein. Sie sind in vielen Fällen wirklich speziell. Und einer von ihnen ist, dass sie nicht wirklich eine ganze Menge geradelt haben, du weißt, während dieser ganzen Saison. Sie verlieren nicht mehrere Spiele in der Reihe.
Sie haben noch nicht mehrere Spiele in der Reihe in den Playoffs verloren. Und so. I do think that Game 5, it's at home. You have more comfort with your role players. You're closing it out. You're coming in with a ton of confidence. You just beat a Minnesota team that threw a really hard punch at you. And you came away and you won. You needed a split in Minnesota. They did that.
I think they should be super, super comfortable coming back to OKC. I think they should win it. I think they will. I just think that it will be interesting to watch them. Just because it is a, Ja, das ist ein großer Deal für jede Franchise in der NBA, besonders eine der jüngeren. Und ich bin einfach so beeindruckt, wie sie all das behandeln.
Kann ich, kann ich nur sagen, ähm, zurück zu 2011, 2012. Ja. OKC war 2-0 im Western Conference Finals, also Spurs. Und sie haben es aufgerufen und haben vier Mal gewonnen. Und es war wie ein wachsender Moment für KD, Westbrook, Harden. Und du denkst dir, wow, diese Leute haben es herausgefunden. Sie bewegen das Team, das die Westen jahrelang dominiert hat.
And it's not the same tonight because Minnesota is still a young team and they have a young player on the other side with Anthony Edwards. But we've seen like multiple moments in this postseason run for OKC where they're growing up. Game seven versus Denver is that grow up game. This game, I think, was a grow up game where you saw their three stars to show up in in the best way possible.
And like this is terrifying for the league because all three of those guys playing the way that they just did. It seems sustainable in an era where it's really, really hard to remain sustainable as a contender. So just thinking moving forward, it's just really impressive that this game turned out this way for OKC2.
I mean, look, during this game, I'm looking at Kaysan Wallace's contract because I couldn't remember if he was a restricted free agent next summer or the year after. I mean, that's kind of where we're at with this Thunder team because all these guys are young. It's kind of unprecedented. Well, go and listen to Down to Dunk if you want more on the Thunder and their march to the finals.
Andrew Schlecht, thank you very much for hanging out. Guys, stick around after the break. S and I are going to come up with a solution for this fouling up three thing that's killing the end of games.

Chapter 2: How did the Thunder's Big Three perform?
you know um uh there's there's a chance there where you're down two after the first made free throw and i i think in this game it was i don't know what was it nine seconds left or something like that go ahead and try it there you know um instead of waiting until it's three seconds and then hopefully you can get a rebound that's more strategic though but as far as just pure like fan enjoyment of the game i i do think that this is something the league
probably gonna have to think about because it's it's just it's what is a huge game you know if i'm wrong doesn't fiba do something along the lines of it being an intentional foul right if you foul in this way it becomes an intentional foul and it's immediately a free throw plus the ball right yes the take foul rule yeah Right. So do that. I feel like that might be the way.
But then there's also ways to game that system. So it's like, are you adding another level of gamesmanship that can be exploited?
We are destined for 47 minutes of good basketball and a minute of procedural paperwork. Right. Yeah. Yeah.
analytics have definitely caught up to the fact that this is the most efficient way to win a game when you're up three points i think the game is the game but also at some point when are you going to make the tv product a little bit more engaging for fans especially when you have an all-time level game like we watched tonight Ja, und mit der Prävalenz der drei, richtig?
Es ist ein super wichtiges Charakter in der Geschichte eines Basketballspiels. Und das wegzunehmen, ich denke, ist schlecht für den Drama.
