Yeah, you can go down the list.

And I think, I mean, sometimes in the NBA, injuries can be a blessing in disguise.

But when you have so much depth on your roster like the Thunder do, do you feel as if

It's sort of this found money concept halfway through the season where you can maybe get some opportunity to see, like you said, extended run of Case and Wallace and extended run of some of these other guys to prepare them for a long postseason run.

come playoff time but going into next year when he gets a summer and he gets a training camp with the thunder i think that like his ceiling is pretty high and so there's some there's some pretty pretty wild possibilities for mccain here in okc he also feels like a guy that can steal you a playoff game right like yeah just go off at the start of a third quarter or something like that knock down a couple threes and he flips the game and helps the thunder win it just feels like he has that energy to him like a sam arrow maybe yes

Sure.

Yeah.

Like Sam Merrill, who was incredible in this game, by the way.

Yeah.

Sam Merrill, 20 points and knocked down six threes.

I mean, the Cavs really fought their way back in this game.

But before we get to the Cavs side of things, which I'm curious about your opinion, Andrew, Chet Holmgren was great in this game.

17 points.

He had 15 rebounds.

He I thought he did a great job of limiting the Jared Allen, Evan Mobley connection, if you will.

the pick and roll stuff that they run with James Harden, which has looked excellent as of late.

It wasn't there tonight.

And like this was the Chet Holmgren defensive player of the year case, in my opinion, because even despite some of the other parts, Chet was the guy who was able to kind of lead this team to this win on the defensive side of the floor.

You just mentioned that they have to make a decision on Case and Wallace this summer.

They also have to make a decision on Lou Dort this summer.
