It was the OKC script in game two, right, as well. That's the last time we saw it. Forge off the nuggets was the exact same script that we saw in game seven. And I think like you see this progression in the seven game series of these battles, these close games in game five, they pull out a close victory. It was all about like, can they prove it in the clutch? Well, they did. Right.
Can they close out a series in game six? They weren't able to close out a series and they defiantly closed out a series here in game seven. Andrew, I know obviously you cover this team, you watch them and you see them grow up. Right. This was a growing up series for this Oklahoma City Thunder team. You take a look at J-Dub.

Yep, yep, absolutely. Look, OKC has tons of options. I can't wait for the defensive matchup between these two teams because Denver just laid out the blueprint on how to guard OKC for seven games. zone up, force Shea to move the ball, basically a box and one against SGA, right? And force all these other guys to make shots.

I do lean OKC, but the only reason I lean OKC is because I actually do think it's a monkey off their back. I think they learned what it takes to win. You could say the same thing about Minnesota, though, because they I'm going to say the same thing about Minnesota. OK, so you're picking.
