And he just jumped in, hit him with his right shoulder, and finished with his left hand at the basket relatively easily.

There's definitely a certain amount of like, they see food when they see Isaiah or Chet at the basket.

And that's one of those kind of interesting dynamics where, you know, I'm not going to sit here and pretend like the Thunder don't have advantages.

They were absolutely capable of being up 2-0 in this series.

But one of the things that's kind of stood out to me is like, no matter what OKC does scheme-wise,

There's a certain physical advantage that the Spurs guards have to get two feet in the paint, which I think is a relatively reliable thing for them in their shot quality over the course of the series.

They're both so well coached that they both have such a great understanding of the value of each individual possession.

And I mean, we've seen like game one, San Antonio has a 10 point lead in the fourth quarter and OKC comes all the way back last night.

OKC had a 10 point lead with like two minutes left.

And if it, if Devin Vassell hits that corner three in the left corner, we have ourselves a two point game.

No, you're right.

It's like, it's like bucket stop bucket.

We got ourselves OT again.

Like it was crazy watching.

And I think like the, I would actually argue that the kind of depth advantage for OKC is kind of bared out here early.

You mentioned the lineup data.

I talked earlier about how the Spurs starters are playing awesome, but they've played 41 minutes together.

There is not a single OKC lineup that's played 10 minutes yet in this series, like in totality through the first two games.

It was one of the crazier stats that I saw when I was digging into the data.
