See, it's almost like you almost just have to play basketball.

I know that they don't I know that teams don't approach it that way.

I'm sure that that but it feels it feels like you can kind of get there so good defensively that you can just kind of waste clock and waste time trying.

trying to picket a vulnerability because they don't have an obvious one.

But there was a moment like the Brooks, I think they were down, did they get down 27?

I mean, they were down more than 20 at one point.

And he made that and one, and he's basically walking the perimeter of the court and talking shit and pumping his fist and stuff.

And I was just like, I've teased Dylan Brooks, but that is the kind of unwavering nuclear confidence you have to have to,

take on an OKC team that it feels futile at times, like just the machinery of how they do their thing.

You kind of have to have a Dylan Brooks fueling the fire.

Very true.

Yeah, and Booker had that look in his eyes like he knew it was going to get blocked, you know?

You ever see that?

Booker's just like, this probably isn't happening, but I know I need to put it up.

Chet, what's really kind of demoralizing, I think, for Phoenix is that if you look at this on paper, this series, this seems like it would be the Chet series because they don't really have a matchup for him, especially with, I mean, Malwatch isn't going to be able to deal with him out there on the open floor, and then it's like Iguodaro doesn't have a chance.

They just don't.

The fact that they can just go and push that button whenever they want, and they did a couple times tonight.

I wrote down, I was just like, this is really depressing, I think, because they're not even going to have to go there.

I don't expect them to have to because they can't stop the initial things that OKC does.

It's like Chet just shows so many extra layers that they can go to sometimes.
