Chapter 6: What can we expect from the upcoming Game 4 between the Thunder and Spurs?

95.746 - 123.002 Unknown

Real ones. Logan Murdoch here. Hard motherfucking back there. Raja Bell there in a hotel room. Some luxury hotel in the middle of the country. And we are here talking to you guys after 123. 108 Oklahoma City Thunder victory. Now Raja, I... This is my thesis on the series. First series, the first game of the series, excuse me. Oklahoma City played scared.

0

123.792 - 138.368 Unknown

In the second game of the series, Oklahoma City decided not to play scared in one. And in game three of the series, they decided to get into San Antonio's head. Not only their head, but the crowd's head in general. It kind of took control of the series, right?

Chapter 7: How are the Knicks performing in their series against the Cavaliers?

139.489 - 153.445 Unknown

Is this a championship level win by them that is just in this moment of the night? Or is this, did they figure out San Antonio? What did you see tonight from this victory from OKC? What was like the biggest thing that stood out?

0

153.425 - 167.823 Logan Murdock

I think this is a combination of things. Obviously, you want to see championship-level teams, and you know they are championship-level teams when they respond the way OKC has after losing Game 1 at home in the fashion they lost it.

0

Chapter 8: What factors are influencing the Knicks-Cavs series outcome?

168.504 - 192.71 Logan Murdock

But I do think that they figured some things out with San Antonio. First and foremost... You alluded to the fact that they're way more decisive with the ball. You started to see it in game two, and I think you just saw it, the trend continue in game three. There's a lot of playing out of that double team. Whoever catches that ball, they are making a decisive move, getting into the paint.

0

193.19 - 205.227 Logan Murdock

The ball's popping around the perimeter. Guys are shooting with confidence. Even shots that are getting blocked at times, like we talked about that after game one, they're shooting them. Like they've made their mind up that they're going to be aggressive.

0

205.287 - 215.393 Logan Murdock

And so, um, yeah, I mean, look, if you're, if you're okay, see, this can sound crazy, but like, there's a part of me that's like, Hey, we should be on fucking three Oh right now.

0

216.622 - 241.785 Logan Murdock

you know like and and you know san antonio we're really going to find out kind of what they're made of i fully expect them to be game um i'd pick them in game four uh but we're good we're going to find out now it's it's their turn to answer the bell uh to see if they're made of the championship level type of stuff that that people think they are howard i mean they went on a 15-0 run the spurs did to start this this game and like i'm just thinking like oh shit like

0

242.322 - 260.008 Unknown

San Antonio has figured it out. I, they're going to be the, the, the, the next champions for, you know, the next five, six, seven years. And this is just what it's going to be. The tables have turned. And then you start to see from the Spurs, like what we've kind of been talking about all season, right? Where they are this behemoth team. They are great.

260.028 - 278.697 Unknown

And granted, Darren Fox was hobbled, granted all of the granted, right? But then you start seeing what we were talking about throughout the season where, um, we wanted them to see at this point where they get tested. And we, this was the game of all the playoff games where they showed the most immature, right?

278.717 - 296.478 Unknown

Where they, they let the crowd get into it in a negative way where, you know, the fouls are the fouls of the fouls. And, and, It seemed like that got underneath their skin. What did you see from the immaturity and the youthfulness of the San Antonio Spurs? And can they kind of overcome that as the series goes along?

296.518 - 302.012 Unknown

Because as the series seems to go along, it seems to be advantage OKC when it comes to the maturity of it all.

302.212 - 317.95 Raja Bell

The way they came out, you know, that 15-0 blast to start it, I mean, it really did look like the Spurs were ready to just seize control. I don't know if I was ready to jump five steps ahead to win the series, win the championship, win the next five championships, Logan. You might have gotten a little carried away with 15-0, but it was impressive.
