We had a listener over on Game Theory bring up an interesting thought as we were previewing the series. They were like, whoever's better in this series between J-Dub and Julius is probably going to win the series. And since the first half of Game 1, it hasn't even been close, right? J-Dub has been the better player, and Oklahoma City has been the better team for those six quarters.

And so, I mean, you got 22 from Jaden McDaniels on 15 shots, four threes. Yeah. Is Conley all of a sudden going to start doing stuff? I don't think Gobert is the answer. I don't know. I just think this OKC defense is so good, guys.

So I didn't know, like first action of the game, they run something off the ball to get SGA switched on to Ant. And then they went to like the mid post isolation. I'm like, OK, that's kind of interesting. I felt like Ant tried to do some like post isolations. But my thing is,

There's always Hartenstein or Chet or somebody lurking or J-Dub running off the ball to steal it whenever your back is to the basket. It's just... It's really hard. I think you just have to have a little more creativity. Like you say, maybe play a little better pace and get into your stuff. And I just... This is what OKC does, though, is they take you out of your flow.

And they the other thing I was thinking about today is they have so many guys they can throw at him. They have so many different options. OK, he gets it going against Kaysen. All right. Well, there's Lou. Oh, he gets it going against those guys. All right. Let's put two on the ball for a little while or, you know, whatever.

And it's just like when you have that many answers, it's just it's hard because you can always keep the offense off balance and guessing.

That is fascinating, Alex, because I was thinking about that last night. I was like, I'm going to go on slam and jam and say that I think OKC is creating better looks. And I bet somebody is going to throw stats at me that say I'm wrong. And so luckily you said it and I didn't have to. I can just agree. No, I'm I think they got some good.
