00:00Rick, let's go to the Western Conference here.
00:02Is OKC just a better team or more experienced team as they're in this finals?
00:09Both.
00:10They're a better team and they're more experienced.
00:12They have tremendous depth.
00:15They're really a good basketball team, and that's why they were champions last year.
00:20And they have a great chance of repeating, which is a very difficult thing to do in any sport.
00:24So I'm sure they have great incentive.
00:27And what impressed me is the way they just methodically came back from that incredible start to game number three.
00:35I mean, to survive that and to do it so quickly, they did it in the first half.
00:39I mean, even in the first quarter, they got themselves back in it.
00:42It's like all of a sudden, you know, the Spurs had all this energy and stuff.
00:47And it's like somebody stuck a needle in it and let all the air out.
00:50It was crazy to watch that.
00:52But I was impressed.
00:53I was very impressed with Oklahoma City and especially the way their bench people play and the way they're playing
00:58the game.
00:58And it's the same situation.
01:00Do you know that 80% of the time the team that outscores the other team from three-point range
01:04wins the game?
01:05And so that's what you got to watch for.
01:07The game has changed so dramatically that if you can prevent open three-point looks, and they didn't do a
01:12very good job of that against OKC.
01:14I mean, come on, look at all of the wide-open threes they got.
01:17You have to minimize the wide-open looks from the opposition, and that just comes down to good, smart defense.
01:24You don't leave people to go help, especially if you've got a team like with Wemby back there.
01:28Hey, you know what?
01:29Play the guy tough.
01:30Make him drive by.
01:31If he wants to go shoot and score over Wemby, hey, God bless you.
01:34Good luck to that.
01:34But don't let guys get wide open.
01:37It just doesn't make any sense.
