00:00Good teams win, Joe. Great teams cover. The Thunder, 131-122 over the Suns.
00:04Told you to take the Suns at double digits. They get the cover.
00:07Let's go to the post-game press conference here after the sweep by OKC.
00:12Jay, third straight year, you guys got a sweep in the first round.
00:15What kind of sense of satisfaction comes with the sweep?
00:21It is a really good feeling.
00:24Just for, like, confidence-wise as a group, it's good to get, like, the playoff run started off that way.
00:34Like, it's just important to get out to a good foot.
00:37Like, you never know what can happen, and usually the later you go, the better the team, so the series
00:41don't get like that.
00:42But you want to give yourself as many days that you can rest, and the more you can sweep, the
00:48better off, and the more days you have to rest, so it's pretty important.
00:51I mean, you can't say anything without, you know, bringing up Shea.
00:54You know, he's the MVP of the league, and he's playing the best basketball in the league for the past
00:59two years.
01:01Mixed with, you know, guys that know their role, some seasoned vets that, you know, they're relentless.
01:07Like I said, with that chemistry, the communication, you know, it's on 100%.
01:14And when the bench comes in, they get better sometimes.
01:17It's like reinforcement.
01:18It's not subs.
01:21And, you know, they have all the answers to the test.
01:25They've been tested together, and they've been together for years.
01:28So that's an advantage.
01:31All right, Joe.
01:32Let's move on to another series last night, which saw the Magic knock off the Pistons in a game that
01:36may be played in 1991.
01:3994-88.
01:40Joe, what happened to your Pistons last night?
01:44Terrible, Donnie.
01:45They had a 10-point lead at one point in the second quarter, and then they gave that up and
01:50never led again for the rest of the way.
01:52This team is, they don't have any scoring.
01:55It is beyond me how Jalen Dern has gone to MIA in this spot, the number two score on a
02:01team.
02:02And if it ain't Cade Cunningham, apparently it ain't happening on this team.
02:06And that's a real problem against a eight seed here in the East.
02:11Pistons are a one seed.
02:12Magic are the eight seed.
02:14The Pistons scored 17 points in the third and 19 in the fourth.
02:17Ouch!
02:17That's terrible, people.
