00:00It was the defense that won them that game last night, nothing else.

00:05It was the defense, and then the simple fact that Pharrell,

00:08they couldn't stop the Joker.

00:10It was really a failure of epic proportions by OKC.

00:15All right, you know, the defense was subpar.

00:20The fact that they just let the Joker get to whatever spot they want,

00:24never thought about bringing a double team,

00:26never thought about getting the ball out of his hands,

00:27never thought about anything, letting anybody else beat them.

00:30And then you get to the last minute.

00:34How in God's green earth do you foul with the Joker on the sideline

00:41so they can check back into the game?

00:43They had no timeouts.

00:46They were done.

00:47And then the best part, and you are our basketball players, right?

00:51We know this.

00:52The common person doesn't understand this.

00:55Do you know how insanely stupid you have to be defensively

00:58to give up a fast break winning on a free throw?

01:03Like, it was, Pharrell, it was a clear breakout.

01:07It was a clear breakout.

01:09And you know the rule, Pharrell.

01:10What did they tell us when we were young, right?

01:12You got to get below the ball.

01:14Get below the ball.

01:15They were, three guys were worried about their men at half court,

01:19and Brody went and pitched it, and the crazy part is I'm looking at Aaron Gordon

01:24like, drive it, drive it.

01:26No, no, no, no, what are you doing?

01:27Okay, okay, good shot.

01:28Because he had the lane for a layup.

01:29He could have dunked it.

01:31He could have went and dunked it.

01:32So, to me, what a failure of epic proportions by Mark Dagonal

01:37and Oklahoma City Thunder.

01:39And, listen, that's another series.

01:41The best player on the floor is not on the better team.

01:45It's Nikola Jokic.

01:46They better find something different to do.

01:50I'd rather have Joker say, you know what, I'm going to let you get,

01:52I'll let you try and get 15 assists, then you get 40 points.

01:56I got to let someone else beat me,

01:58which obviously Denver did that in game number one.

02:00I said earlier that I think Shea's unbelievable.

02:05I think he's amazing, but I still think Joker's a better player.

02:09Yeah, he's a better player.

02:10And Hardenstein and Chet Holmgren look like they saw the damn boogeyman

02:15when Joker starts playing.

02:18People start freaking out.

02:20And you saw those two look like, what's that song by Mobb Deep?

02:23Shook ones?

02:24You hit a crook son?

02:25He's just a shook one?

02:26Both of them were shook last night as Joker was getting busy,

02:30particularly in the second half.
