00:00Here's the coach of the Thunder, Dagno, talking about the way the team is looking at things heading into the finals.
00:08You can see challenges as an opportunity or as a threat, and these guys do a great job of seeing challenges as opportunities.
00:16I think they enjoy competing.
00:19Competing is hard. It tests you, but you'd rather be competing this time of year than not.
00:26I think they keep that in perspective and just try to attack every hurdle and throw our best punch and see what happens.
00:34I think this guy is really making a name for himself, what he's done in Oak City, don't you, Joe?
00:44Scotty, the hardest thing in the world is you've got the youngest team that we've seen in, well, forever actually make it to the finals.
00:52And not only do they make it to the finals, Scotty, they are one of the biggest finals favorites we have seen in a very, very long time.
00:59You don't know, on day in and day out, you have any idea what you're going to get from 24 and 25-year-olds, Scotty?
01:05I mean, you've got to give this guy all the credit in the world.
01:08He's limited to distractions. He's pushed all the right buttons.
01:11Not an easy thing to do with a bunch of 24 and 25-year-olds, for sure.
01:15I've got to be honest with you. I think they're young and stupid, and they're so talented that they don't realize that going all out every night is anything that they've done differently than when they were in high school and even in middle school.
01:33So from middle to high to college, they've gone all out.
01:36And then in the pros, they're young, and they've gone all out every night, and they have this incredible team that's like one of the greatest teams ever.
01:44Let's face facts. When you win 68 games, you mean business.
01:47And then I think when they turn 32, 33, they're going to realize, oh, I never had to do this.
01:55I can be filthy rich and not hustle.
01:57Oh, that's what today's NBA is, is a bunch of guys between the ages of 33 and 39 that are lazy as F, and that make so much G-damn money that they don't give an F, and they never hustle.
02:12And then I hear about all this stuff.
02:13The only guy I've ever heard say that I still want to go in the gym every day and work and grind is Siakam.
02:21I don't hear anyone else.
02:22All I hear about is how LeBron James spends so much money on his body, and I'm so sick of hearing about him.
02:30I think he's the greatest player. Incredible. It's amazing. 22, 23 years.
02:34I'm the greatest guy. I just don't care anymore about him.
02:39I don't care anymore to hear about his life. I don't.
02:43I know he's not winning anymore, and I know this.
02:47These young guys would roast their ass.
02:50They would roast their ass.
02:52I've been hearing about Fat Luka and LeBron.
02:55Oh, God, it's the greatest assemblage of talent in the history.
03:00And then if they played this team, it would have been a sweep.
03:03That's how good they are.
03:05So I think they're too dumb to realize at this young age how they're kicking everyone's ass and how easy it is because they work so hard and hustle so hard,
03:15and they're not 33 yet and lazy like the rest of the NBA, who does nothing.
03:21They don't work at all.
03:22All they do is stay in four seasons and Ritz-Carlton's, fly in fancy corporate jets, and drink Veuve Clicquot and have five lovers.
03:30I mean, let's stop with all this other nonsense.
03:32That's exactly what happens in the NBA.
03:34Here's the game one odds.
03:37Game one.
03:38Here they are.
03:39Who do you like with that fat number, Joe?
03:43Yeah, I like OKC to do what they've done here, Scotty, and that's they usually come out swinging at home.
03:50It's one of the best home courts in the NBA for one of the smallest markets in the NBA.
03:58They sell out every night.
04:00Fans are rowdy.
04:01They don't let the other team's fans buy tickets.
04:04It's this place is going to be over the top, and it's probably going to be not even remotely close after game one there, Scott.
