The Oklahoma City Thunder are one of the best basketball teams, maybe in NBA history. They won 68 games this season. They had an absolutely suffocating defense, one of the more aggressive, disciplined defenses you'll basically ever see.

He has to take care of the ball, and he has to play extremely fast. And that is Indiana's identity. That is why Indiana is here. They are also very disciplined. They have one of the best offenses in the NBA, and they do it just zip, zip, zip.

Both these teams are incredibly deep. And I think what we're seeing in the NBA right now is you can have two, three all-stars on your team. But if four, five, six, seven, eight, nine aren't above average at what they do and are willing to accept their role and thrive in whatever responsibility set the coaching staff gives them... You're just not going to be very good.

I do hear them ask questions about, well, surely this is a mistake, or what did she do wrong, or Carol's not a criminal, why is this happening to her? I mean, something like this brings it home because it makes it personal.
