0:02
Welcome in to bring the Thunder podcast.
0:05
We are live after this. Oh my goodness, the I can't even
0:11
speak right now man. We just won the NBA championship
0:16
2025. Youngest team ever to win a
0:19
championship. We're going to have some of the
0:21
other guys join in a little bit later.
0:23
They're celebrating right now. They're still watching some
0:25
interviews, post game interviews.
0:27
I decided to kick this off early for us.
0:31
I just, I just want to connect with you guys on the comments,
0:33
man. If you guys want to hop on to
0:34
the live, I'm going to put the link on how to do that below.
0:40
So if you DM us on bring the Thunder podcast on Instagram,
0:43
I'll give you a link. You guys can hop on up here,
0:46
talk about the Thunder, how we won, how you guys feel about the
0:50
season, man. This is it, man.
0:54
Yeah, We got to stop the negativity, Steves.
0:56
That's right, man. Positivity only.
0:58
Let's go, Sonny. We won, man.
1:01
We can finally breathe, man. We can finally breathe.
1:03
At Thunder fans. Up until the very last whistle,
1:07
I did not properly. I could not even breathe.
1:11
I was, I was live, man. And I, I, I I literally couldn't
1:15
breathe until we won, man. Me too, Anthony.
1:18
Me too, Anthony. This is freaking ridiculous
1:21
Parker. That's what I'm saying man.
1:23
Crack a couple drinks I got I'm more of a water drinker, but if
1:27
y'all having other drinks, more power to you.
1:30
I don't had I don't drink anymore, but shout out to the
1:38
Thunder winning it man. I think a guy is like Nick
1:41
Collision in this moment. Perkins, Kevin Durant, Russell
1:47
Westbrook, other guys that come to my mind, obviously James
1:51
Harden, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony.
1:57
We've had so many guys, all the Depot Sabonis, those are
2:01
obviously the bigger name guys. Pokuszewski, Trey Mann.
2:07
We were at 20 win team not even two to three seasons ago.
2:13
We went from A20 win team to the play in getting knocked out of
2:17
the plan, becoming a first seed, getting knocked out of the
2:20
second round to winning an NBA championship in the city of
2:25
Oklahoma with the Thunder. Since the Thunder have moved to
2:30
Oklahoma, they have not won a championship.
2:32
This is their first. Shay Gilgeous Alexander cements
2:36
himself in the greatest guard conversation ever.
2:41
He's the greatest Thunder player ever with this Indian NBA
2:44
Championship, scoring title, MVP, Finals MVP, All NBA All
2:50
Star, you name it, man. But this could never be possible
2:56
without J Dub stepping up from that Denver series, flipping the
3:01
script against Denver and from there, he never looked back.
3:04
Man. Chet was huge for us on the
3:06
defensive end. This whole team came together
3:10
and won games. 90% of NBA fans were against Shay were against
3:16
the Thunder. The only people that believed in
3:19
the Oklahoma City Thunder are the people watching this stream
3:22
right now. If you're a Thunder fan, you
3:24
know you were the only one in the trenches in your group chats
3:27
and your DMS. You were fighting with everyone.
3:31
I knew it. I have a Thunder account so I
3:34
understand man. I understand man Come on.
3:43
Amazing amazing championship. Indie sports fan in the
3:47
comments. We always appreciate you bro.
3:50
Congrats y'all. Y'all earned it, y'all deserve
3:53
it. Great series.
3:54
I thought this was the greatest final series since 2016.
4:01
I literally can't remember another finals that was as good
4:04
as this. Obviously I'm going to be a
4:05
little bit biased. I'm going to be honest about
4:07
that as a Thunder fan, Like, of course, I think this is the
4:13
greatest 'cause we want it, of course.
4:15
But one thing I want to shout out, the Indiana Pacers stands
4:17
for most respectful fans. We got Joe de Blasio joining in.
4:23
Let's go, Joe. Let's go.
4:25
Let's. Go.
4:26
We needed that energy. Popped that Champagon bottle for
4:29
all the fans, man. We got Parker in here.
4:31
We got Steves. We know it, man.
4:33
Let's go. We got the day ones in the chat.
4:35
We've got. To be lit man, I already took a
4:38
shot of water, let's you know me.
4:40
But I'm right here bro, I lost too many pounds during that
4:44
game. Me too.
4:45
I I lost years of my life in the last four minutes.
4:49
The last. 4 minutes. Took us an hour bro.
4:53
My boys were telling me I was being a, you know, arrogant, and
4:56
I said no. I've seen this way too many
4:57
times. Yeah.
4:58
Parker, what's up, Parker? How you doing, bro?
5:00
Let's. Go, man.
5:02
Man, oh man. Let's go, man.
5:05
What a what a shitty ass way to win.
5:09
But we got we got it done. I wouldn't listen.
5:15
No matter what happens, championship doesn't go away.
5:19
We got we're the Champions until a year from now.
5:22
So it's it's just a great feeling, bro.
5:28
It's a feeling I've never feel felt before.
5:31
I'm right there with you, man. I.
5:33
Haven't got a chance to process yet really.
5:36
Neither have I. Even when I was watching us like
5:39
get into a position to win it, I still couldn't believe it.
5:43
Even when we lifted the championship trophy, I was still
5:47
like, Oklahoma has won a championship, guys.
5:50
Still hasn't hit me. Oklahoma City Thunder 2025
5:54
Youngest team Joe. Youngest team to win the NBA
5:57
championship, Joe. Yeah man, first first player in
6:00
25 years to win MVP in NBA championship finals.
6:04
MVP bro. It's.
6:06
Crazy. That's scoring title.
6:07
That's scoring title. Yep, scoring title, first team,
6:10
all NBA All Star. We can keep going man.
6:14
One of the most clutch players on the Thunder to ever play on
6:18
the Thunder. The best Thunder player in
6:20
Thunder history. Don't ever get that mistaken.
6:24
He's talking about Crusoe. Yeah, I'm talking about Crusoe,
6:27
of course. He has the goat Thunder player
6:29
and he's only just getting started man he.
6:31
Got two of those. Man, I can't wait for the next
6:34
one. Oh.
6:35
Man, me too. A one thing I want to say to the
6:39
Pacers fans that are going to be joining in here.
6:41
We will see you guys right back here next year, man.
6:44
I 100% the the fact that you guys pushed us this hard and you
6:49
guys demolition job right through the Eastern Conference.
6:53
I don't think the East has a chance against the Pacers, man.
6:56
Hats off to the Pacers, hats off to TJ McConnell.
6:59
He gave it his all tonight, man. He gave it all he had in the
7:04
whole playoff run. Shout out to Halliburton,
7:08
fighting through an injury, deciding to play, risking his
7:11
career long term. Short term shout out to him man
7:16
I'll. Tell you what, man, not to get
7:20
off, you know, kind of script here, but that E is wide open
7:24
man. If Halliburton could get back
7:26
healthy, they could be back. If not, that E is wide open man.
7:30
With Boston being injured too with Tatum, Yeah.
7:33
Man, I. Don't know.
7:37
We haven't seen anything in Oklahoma win a championship,
7:40
man. We have not seen.
7:43
We needed this. We needed this.
7:45
This was huge for the city man. I'm I'm still, I'm still trying
7:49
to get my thoughts together. I really don't even know what
7:51
happened. I haven't even cried yet, which
7:53
is crazy. I haven't either.
7:54
I like got emotional at points, but I think I'm going to be
7:58
weeping after we get off these lives to be.
8:00
Honest. Yeah, definitely.
8:01
I'm a sitting. Friend.
8:03
I'm going to like grab a pillow and just sit there and like,
8:07
just think about this championship, man.
8:09
The thing is, no one can take this away from us.
8:12
That's the greatest feeling ever in history.
8:15
Like no matter what happens, OKC has a championship.
8:19
All the boys on this squad have a championship.
8:23
It's it's a wonderful feeling, man.
8:25
If you've been a sports fan of a small market team, you know how
8:29
rare it is to even win one of these.
8:32
We're not even going to have I I I'm going to ban the
8:36
conversations of the future talk in this.
8:39
We're living in the present tonight on this live.
8:42
We're not talking about 1234 like LeBron.
8:45
We're not talking about nothing else, man, just tonight.
8:48
Well enough to get there, and then, you know, winning one's
8:51
even harder and. Yep, we know how hard it is.
8:55
It took us since 2012 to get back to this position.
9:00
And we've had some great teams, yeah, great teams.
9:04
The best teams, man. We've had some crazy teams.
9:07
The fact that it took this long, we went through roster turnover
9:14
after roster turnover. Shout out to Sam Presti, the
9:18
greatest general manager in all of sports, in all of sports, not
9:23
just the NBA. He is the GOAT GM in all of
9:28
sports man. I'm a pop this bottle.
9:31
I'll be right back. All right man, appreciate you
9:34
bro. Get that bottle going right
9:36
back. No worries bro.
9:38
Get some cups, pour one out for me.
9:42
Actually, low key, I'm going to just bring you all with me.
9:44
I'll be right. Give me two seconds.
9:46
Get the green screen off. And so, yeah, see this man?
9:52
We got to celebrate tonight, man.
9:53
Oh. Yeah. 2025 NBA title marks the
9:58
first championship since moving to OK C Man.

10:33
champions, Joe. No, no, I still, I still broke.

10:38
The next few days going to be crazy though.

Hey, moving forward, Joe, this podcast is just a positivity for
11:04
the team. We've done it.
11:05
We've proven it. Listen, there's no reason to
11:08
doubt that. Always.
11:09
Going to keep it really all in my thoughts and I said I hope I
11:13
was wrong and I'm damn sure was wrong.
11:16
Halliburton going down helps. But listen, it's unfortunate,
11:22
but you know, it's, it's a, it's a sport.
11:24
It's the same thing, if your starting point guard went down
11:28
and you were the the bench backup point guard, you'd be
11:30
fucking ready to roll. Happy as hell, right?
11:32
So that's what sports are, man. Yeah, got to play through it,

18:21
lost in the freaking, whatever you call it, tournament play in.
18:26
Yes. Sir.
18:26
And next year, I mean, I thought we'd go farther.
18:30
Last year it was, but I knew the year after we would have it and
18:36
it happened. So there you go it.

19:35
To buy my ticket. It'll be probably a couple days,
19:40

19:42
days at least. Somebody in the chat said
19:44
Tuesday. Yeah, well, we'll get, we'll get
19:48
confirmation on it. So we'll know.
19:51
I think right now the city's been planning it for sure, but
19:55
we'll know. We'll know more details probably
19:57
tomorrow morning. I'll definitely get a post out
20:02
on the, you know, Instagram so everyone's aware when the parade
20:07
is, all the details, everything. I bet I need to.
20:13
I don't even know. I don't I don't even know bro.
20:15
I don't even know, like I, I don't know what to say.
20:17
You know, let's look at this, indie sports fan said.
20:22
FDA is giving Finals flashbacks of Kobe.
20:29
That's crazy man. That's a crazy comment right
20:33
there. We.
20:34
Appreciate you Travis, Shane, Kobe conversations.
20:42
Yeah, bro, but I want to be I want to, I'm going to come up
20:45
here, bro. And I really want to shout out
20:46
the Pacers, bro, for sure, because them boys fight every
20:50
series. You could tell every series,
20:52
bro, they get better. Like, God, they got better.
20:54
Like I don't want to sit here and say like, obviously if
20:57
Halliburton didn't get hurt, they would have definitely like
21:00
fought with us. I still think we would have won.
21:03
But I I want to give my flowers to him, especially TJ McConnell,
21:05
bro, especially him. He was fighting.
21:07
He would have been the Finals MVP if they won tonight.
21:10
He was fighting bro. That boy got heart.
21:12
It's. Going to be tougher then bro.
21:14
Like I said, you know Bryce looks like me bro.
21:16
Bryce looks like we've seen a few things.
21:18
He's tired bro. He's tired.
21:19
I am tired man. Be tougher.
21:22
Indiana though man. Brutal injury at a terrible
21:25
time. I don't expect him to play next
21:28
year. But you think it's torn acoi
21:31
mean torn Achilles? Yeah, yeah, definitely,
21:33
definitely that thing. It was it was unfortunate man.
21:36
But like I said that Eastern Conference Bruins wide open.
21:40
If a team wants to go make a move, they could win the East
21:43
very easily. Boston's not going to have
21:44
Tatum, Indiana. This is all unfortunate by the.
21:48
Way game, Giannis. I think I'm looking at the
21:53
recovery time on his injury. It's only 6 months so he should
21:58
be back post All Star game so he.
22:00
Should be. That's six months before even
22:04
doing anything. A ruptured Achilles, it's like 8
22:07
to 8 to 10 months is a full recovery.
22:09
Yeah, we don't know if it's ruptured, torn, whatever it is,
22:12
but. If he wants to come back like a
22:14
month before playoffs, that doesn't do anything good for.
22:16
Them they're going to set him the whole year.
22:17
He's not. He is their superstar player, he
22:20
is their future. You cannot risk another.
22:21
Injury, yeah, it's not worth he's not going to play next
22:24
year. They're going to get somebody.
22:25
They're going to sign or trade. They're going to get somebody
22:27
because T JS not going to be their starting point guard next
22:29
year. It's going to be somebody.
22:31
But the Pacers are good, bro. I give my flowers to them.
22:35
They're good bro. I still think they'll still be a
22:37
top four seed even without them. That's how good they are, to be
22:41
honest. Depends, it's like they they
22:42
played like shit for the first half of the year and then I.
22:45
Think they'll be fine? I think they'll be fine after
22:47
doing what they just did. They showed flashes last year.
22:51
They I, I. Probably have the most faith in
22:53
the Pacers after watching what they just did with us taking up
22:57
the seven games, pushing a 68 win team with the MVP on the
23:00
roster. I mean, if you really think
23:02
about it, we're OKC is deep and we're good.
23:05
But if you really like from a basketball fans aspect, from a
23:10
basketball fan aspect, you can see like they have the players
23:13
that can match up well. Like they're deep.
23:15
They're they're just as deep as us.
23:18
Maybe their role players aren't as good, but they're still just
23:20
as deep like that. Players coming off the bench
23:22
like TJ Benedict and Obi and they can give you 15 points
23:27
each. Yeah.
23:28
And points each you know. Yeah, they have.
23:30
They have a deep team, man. This is wide open on our side.
23:34
Run it back. Run it back.
23:36
Make a draft. Make a draft pick.
23:38
Don't do nothing rash this offseason.
23:40
Let's just run it back. It's hard to repeat, but you
23:44
might as well try with the same roster you wanted with.
23:46
We got to see what we get on Wednesday for at 15.
23:48
Man, I can't believe it's Wednesday.
23:50
They got to push it back a week. Man, we.
23:52
Haven't had time to breathe, Joe.
23:54
Yeah, I need a break, man. Shit is going so fast.
23:58
KD got traded today. Bro someone someone just got
24:02
shot in OK C. Move what?
24:05
Someone just fired shots off in OK C.
24:07
But how do you know? We got breaking news, we got
24:10
people at the game. Yeah, we got guys at the game.
24:14
Not in the arena, right? Not outside.
24:17
Outside. Yeah, some breaking news right
24:20
there. But yeah bro, shit is happening
24:22
fast. Katie got traded today right
24:24
before we won the draft. Is Wednesday fucking we got the
24:27
parade. Like, Oh yeah, sappy.
24:29
I didn't get to ask. What do you think about that
24:30
trade? What the KD trade?
24:34
I think, I think, I think the Suns won that trade, man.
24:36
Me too, me too. The Suns definitely won that.
24:39
There's no way. With the lack of leverage that
24:42
the Suns had, that they got that much, that high a level of a
24:46
player. Also, Joe, I looked at their
24:48
roster without Dylan Brooks. They don't have defenders on
24:51
that roster in that starting line of especially.
24:54
Bro, that's what I'm saying. They just trade their whole
24:56
defensive identity out. Besides Thompson.
24:58
Thompson's great. Yeah, Thompson's all they.
25:01
Got but I don't think Thompson can keep up with like the OK C
25:04
squad or like. Oh, he can't keep up with five
25:06
players. That's.
25:07
The Rockets don't move me. Rockets don't move me like for
25:10
against us. I'm saying they move me in the
25:13
league like they're going to be better, obviously.
25:15
But I thought, I think they got worse.
25:17
I think they'll be like a five seed.
25:19
Yeah, I mean, I think they got worse.
25:21
You're relying on KD and then Jabari Smith.
25:24
And then Phoenix got the five second round picks they can they
25:27
can do something with. Those Phoenix got to trade Green
25:30
and Booker and just fully restart.
25:32
Yeah, they got Bill too. We'll.
25:34
See, Bill's not. Bill's not going anywhere.
25:37
He's on a Yeah, he can't. He's on the no trade.
25:39
No trade. And nobody wants to take on that
25:41
crazy ass contract. Well, they can't.
25:44
You can't get traded. He he literally can't.
25:47
No, you can't trade a no trade like in a no trade.
25:50
Club He said he doesn't want to leave no more.
25:52
Yeah, same thing as, like LeBron.
25:54
You can't trade LeBron. His contract's written that way.
25:58
So Bill's stuck there. I think Devon's stuck there,
26:01
too. They're not trading Devon, man,
26:04
that's all. They have, they have.
26:05
I think Jalen Green has really good trade value though.
26:07
You can get a good package for him, no?
26:09
No no, I think they'll keep him. I think the Suns are going to
26:11
actually be better without KD. Watch bro.
26:15
Yes they are. Promise bro.
26:17
I promise you Booker, Booker Green and Bill will not be
26:22
better than Booker Durant and. I I think so with no because
26:26
they they also added Dylan Jones or what's his name Dylan Brooks.
26:33
Yeah. Maybe.
26:33
Maybe. I think so bro.
26:35
Their defense is going to be better around Devin.
26:37
Starting. That starting lineup.
26:41
Bill's not starting. Yeah, Bill will be starting
26:43
still. No, he was coming off the bench
26:45
to end the year. I think he'll be starting next
26:48
season, man. So who's going to start then?
26:50
You got it would. Be like Deal, Booker, Brooks,
26:54
whatever center they can figure out and then.
26:57
All you're saying they're not going to keep green?
27:00
Are there green on there too? Yeah, Green will be the other
27:02
person like that four. Those four are locked in as
27:06
starters. They'll just have to figure out
27:08
who their center is. So who will be our biggest
27:11
competitor next year? Have Nick Richards.
27:13
Who will be our big competitor next year?
27:16
In the West, the yoke, the yokeks, LED Nuggets.
27:19
That's all I'm afraid of. Nuggets.
27:22
Listen, there's a lot of moves to left to be made.
27:24
As I'm saying, yeah. As fans, Denver, the Lakers
27:29
aren't going anywhere. I'm not afraid of the Lakers.
27:33
The fakers, man. Golden State still got 3 Hall of
27:37
Farmers on their team. I promise you the Lakers are
27:39
going to make moves. They there's no way they don't
27:41
make moves. They have to.
27:43
There's no way they're going to get wrong.
27:46
Minnesota's still there, man. They went to Western Conference
27:49
finals. I think they let Randall go.
27:52
Might be in their best interest, but they got to get something
27:54
back. Yeah, well, they didn't get KD
27:56
for Randall, so I don't really see any other trades out there.
27:59
Yeah. We'll see.
28:01
I say we back-to-back. Honestly, if I was Minnesota,
28:04
I'd try to run it back. I.
28:05
Tried to run it back-to-back and we got to if we draft somebody
28:08
good at 15, what do you guys want?
28:10
Personally, what do you guys want?
28:12
Backup settle Artemstein's got two years left on this deal.
28:15
No, no, no, Joe, we need, we need point guard play so.
28:18
Desperately, yeah. Point guard play, We have top
28:20
pitch and AJ Mitchell. Walker, Clayton.
28:22
Junior Joe, I can't I I if I go through a whole another playoffs
28:27
without a solid backup point guard, I'm actually like, I
28:30
actually. Got to trust in the in the
28:32
progression of AJ Mitchell. You've been advocating for him
28:35
all year. I have.
28:37
But and tobic. No, for a back-to-back
28:39
championship I need bro. I need a point guard.
28:43
A lead point guard, not a backup.
28:45
I need a lead point guard on this roster.
28:47
Tobic is a point guard though. You don't.
28:49
You don't believe? He's great.
28:50
I believe in him, but he also needs spacing on the floor.
28:54
He doesn't really provide the spacing, so he's not going to be
28:57
valuable in like fourth quarters.
28:58
What is he like 6? He's like 6-8.
29:02
But he can't really shoot. None of the none of the backup
29:04
point guards will be in the fourth quarter, any quarter
29:06
anyway. There's no room.
29:07
I think if you take someone high enough in the top ten, the top
29:11
10 of this draft is elite, so. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
29:15
This draft is good, bro. I watch college.
29:18
Basketball. This is the.
29:20
Best draft bro. I'm liking Derrick Queen, man.
29:23
Go get Derrick Queen. Let him.
29:25
Let him be, you know, be under Chet and Hardenstein for two
29:29
years. Hardenstein goes Derrick Queen
29:31
Fitzgerald. Somebody said Joe's off the
29:34
Molly right now. Nah.
29:35
Nah, Nah, I'm just all, I'm just all bugged out.
29:42
They said that this is the best draft since the K Jalen Green
29:45
and Evan Mobley draft. You said what?
29:51
They said this is the best draft since the the Jalen Green Cade
29:55
Mobley draft. Yeah, I think it's a pretty
29:58
solid draft. I think next year's draft after
30:01
this one is even better. AJ and the loser twins.
30:05
Yeah, anything beats last year's so.
30:10
Last year's was weak. I can't wait for the draft, man.
30:13
I can't believe it's coming up. What's our other picks?
30:16
We got 24 and 44. 24. So we can't have all three of
30:21
them. So we're going to trade either
30:23
something away or trade up. Something's going to happen.
30:28
Hey, that's right, Travis. Me neither.
30:31
I never seen shams in the same room as with me as as well.
30:34
It's. Fucking funny.
30:38
Oh man, I'm mad speechless bro. Me, I don't even know what to
30:43
say bro. People are texting me.
30:45
People are actually talking shit to me.
30:47
There's a couple people just talking shit to me saying
30:49
Caliburn didn't get hurt. Can't take it away.
30:51
Can't take it away, yeah. Man.
30:54
I'm not going to answer it. I don't really care about what
30:56
they say. I gave Pacers their flowers.
30:58
I don't want to sit here and say, oh, if Halliburton, you
31:01
know, wasn't hurt or you know, whatever.
31:03
But it is what it is. End of the day, I'm a champ.
31:07
It's an injuries happen all the time bro.
31:10
Yeah, one part of one thing I was telling everyone, man, one
31:13
part of winning ANBA championship is going through
31:17
injury Riddle playoffs. Like sometimes you're not going
31:21
to win it when you do get there because of injuries.
31:24
So you can't expect to just win it like that.
31:29
Like you got to, I don't know, I think there's a lot that goes
31:32
into winning a championship. That's why it's so difficult.
31:35
And this chimp, this team from J Dub and Shay have been very
31:38
healthy because of their youth. So it's a rare thing.
31:42
It's a rare thing to get this far and have everyone, everyone
31:47
ready to go. Because usually by the finals
31:49
and other runs we've seen, someone out of the starters
31:52
always goes down. So it's like an expectation,
31:55
right? Yeah.
31:57
Our our team is special to the fact that we made a whole
31:59
playoff run pretty much healthy and that's a rare thing.
32:03
So even if we were to have a back-to-back, even if we did a
32:06
back-to-back next year, you know you can't take.
32:11
Never mind him on keep going, keep going.
32:13
I was going to say, you can't take things for granted.
32:15
So actually Loki, I need you to send the link to.
32:18
Capers Parker. Parker.
32:21
I got you bro. And the DMS.
32:23

32:27
Cason played great man. We needed that.
32:28
We Caruso to come in and hit those first two threes was so
32:31
big, man. Yeah, Shet played fairly well
32:35
from what he was playing. Gotcha.
32:38
Play great. 1818 points, 8 rebounds, 5 blocks.
32:41
Yeah, he was going crazy with the blocks.
32:44
Listen, if he's not hitting his shots, we need him as a rim
32:47
protector and he had five blocks tonight, he said.
32:49

33:42
We got hotspot. Hotspot.
33:43
Join on up here, bro. Yeah, hotspot.
33:47
Come on man. We got to get you up here, man.
33:51
All you got to do is click the link.
33:53
It's easy as that. How long have you been a fan,
33:56
man? For me.
33:58
Yeah, how long you been a fan? 2010.
34:04
Wow, that makes three of us, I think. 2010 bro, My brother, my
34:08
older brother had put me on to, I was AI was a Knicks fan 'cause
34:13
I, I lived in New York, but I was a Knicks fan before Mello,
34:19
before Carmelo Anthony, We suck. And then my brother had put me
34:23
on to Russ. I knew about KD, but I was, I
34:25
wasn't really like so much KD. And then he put me on to Russ in
34:29
2K. That's when that's when like
34:31
Russ was really young and I played with him in 2K and I was
34:34
like, yo, who is this? And then I started watching him
34:37
and I was like, Oh yeah, I'm a Thunder fan and like.
34:41
I feel like everyone has the same story.
34:43
Like when we joined up on the podcast, everyone's like we just
34:45
fell in love with Russ. Like I knew about Katie as well
34:47
when he was drafted and saw a little bit of him in college.
34:51
When I saw, I saw Russ in college a little bit too and I
34:54
was like, who is this guy? And then he got drafted to the
34:57
Thunder with KD. Got to watch him that season.
35:01
This was a post from me in 2012. I posted this on Facebook.
35:05
I don't know if you could see it.
35:08
It's not going to focus up. Yeah, you got to get it close.
35:11
There you go. Wow.
35:13
Look at that. Wow man. 2012 when when NBA was
35:19
Adidas, Russ and Katie. We got we got Parker up in.
35:23
Oh go, boys. Oh, Parker's in there.
35:25
What's up bro? Let's go.
35:26
Oh man, I'm out. A little dark right now.
35:30
So sorry. We don't care where you are
35:32
right now. Let's go.
35:36
How you feeling bro? How you feeling?
35:38
How about this fucking team? Sorry, I don't know if I'm
35:40
allowed to curse on here. You got it.
35:42
You good? It's all good.
35:45
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
35:47
Honestly, at halftime, I'm not gonna lie, I thought we were
35:50
cooked. Me too bro.
35:52
I'm one of those guys where like you go on a run and I'm going to
35:54
get mad nervous real quick, but. I was getting the vibe.
35:59
I was getting one of those vibes that like, you know.
36:03
Hot spot. Sorry, hot spot.
36:04
If you're still here, DM us at Bring the Thunder podcast on
36:07
Instagram and then we'll send it to you right away.
36:09
Yeah, bro. Park bro Parker, my bad, but but
36:13
I wanted to say I was getting the vibe at halftime that like,
36:16
you know, when the one of those stupid losses that are just like
36:20
we're just doing stupid, stupid stuff, like, you know, when the
36:22
game just blows up. I was.
36:24
I was. I was just like, dude, you, I
36:27
mean, obviously, you know, horrible having to Tyrese, but I
36:30
was like this when you got to like jump on the throats right
36:32
now. We just did not do that for the
36:34
rest of the first half the the. Level of urgency was pissing me
36:38
the fuck off in that first half. But you got to understand, it's
36:40
the NBA Finals. Game seven at home.
36:42
They're probably fucking going nuts in their head, right?
36:45
We have a minute to calm down, but then Indiana didn't score
36:48
for like the first 6 minutes of the 4th.
36:51
I was telling my friends, I said it's going to depend the first 6
36:55
minutes after like the going into the third quarter, the 1st
36:58
6 minutes is if we're going to go out, we're going to have one
37:00
of those, as Mike Green would say, a Thunder avalanche.
37:03
Yeah. Luckily we had a great third
37:05
quarter. It's just you knew it was
37:08
coming. We've done it all season long.
37:11
Did it against the Celtics in the regular season at home, did
37:14
it against Miami when we were down by 21 and came back.
37:18
Did it a few times in the playoffs.
37:19
Game seven against the Nuggets was Helm.
37:23
Just do it again. And that's what this team was
37:25
all year, man. You just, you can't really
37:28
explain how they did it, but they did it on these 20 oh runs
37:32
and you're like, oh shit, we're winning the game.
37:34
I was, if it, if it wasn't in Game 7, you'd look at these
37:37
stats and be like, how would they ever win this game?
37:40
Yeah, man, you know, let me good point bro.
37:44
One of the worst shooting nights from Shane.
37:46
I looked at fourth quarter and I was like 8 for 24.
37:49
I didn't realize how bad he was shooting it.
37:51
I was like, Oh my God, wait, he's doing horrible.
37:53
Yeah, man, we went through a dry spot in that fourth quarter.
37:55
Really got me. I thought they were going to
37:57
come back, especially when we lost our challenge.
37:59
We had no timeouts left. I was like, oh shit.
38:01
Once it was 12 points with like 4 minutes left I was like bro
38:04
you got. I was like this is getting way
38:05
too close. Problem is to hitting that
38:07
Halliburton. Exactly.
38:10
I mean, obviously, you know, that's horrible, but that did
38:13
help us a lot tonight. I mean, McConnell still was
38:15
hitting every single shot he took though.
38:17
Yeah, yeah. I mean, listen, it just, it
38:18
happens, bro. It happens outside of shooting
38:23
like shit. I mean 29, five and 12 in a Game
38:26
7 is pretty lit. Oh yeah, without a doubt.
38:29
Two blocks, 2 again on the defensive side.
38:31
Two blocks, one steal. Got to the line like normal.
38:36
How would you guys feel about I was thinking, how would you guys
38:39
feel about trading Isaiah Joe? Joe team friendly contract
38:47
unless we have to. I mean, listen, I think I could
38:50
speak for Savvy and myself here. It's like we are fans of if you
38:55
win the chip, run it back and then if it's not working out,
38:58
then obviously you got to make moves.
38:59
But you don't want to make moves too early 'cause.
39:01
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, this team, this team
39:02
right now is super young still. Everyone's still getting better
39:06
and still learning out how to play with each other and still
39:08
learning how to play at the best.
39:10
So got to run it back and I'll entertain more trade talks if we
39:14
don't win it again next year. But for now like.
39:18
The other to get on Joe's point, when people mention like trade
39:22
this guy or trade that guy, our biggest strength is being the
39:25
youngest NBA championship roster and no team can compete.
39:31
When it comes to ACBA perspective, when it comes to
39:33
money, like when we sign guys on contracts even, it doesn't
39:38
really matter the type of contract, like what if we're
39:41
paying them what they are like, deserve and earn even when we're
39:45
paying them that because they're so young, they're going to grow
39:48
into their contract to where they're going to outgrow that
39:51
contract anyways. Like with Joe and Wiggins and
39:54
other guys that were going to sign like J Dub and Chet this
39:56
offseason, Jay's going to get the Max as well.
39:59
They're going to grow into those contracts where it may seem like
40:02
a lot right now, but in the future, like 4 years from now,
40:06
like those are going to be steals of deals because at that
40:09
point people are going to be paying even more.
40:12
So. I'd like to also quickly give a
40:14
huge shout out for Damian Lillard.
40:17
Huge shout out to Damian Lillard and Paul George hurt me really
40:20
bad in 2019. But you've caused all this,
40:23
brothers. Appreciate it.
40:25
Poor Paul George. Both his teams made it, but he
40:27
didn't. Yep.
40:29
Hey Paul, George brought us this NBA final.
40:33
Oh my God, what a haul you got for.
40:35
Him, Paul George Bold. Yeah, man.
40:38
Even the money you're paying for a free agent is just worth all
40:41
what we got. I agree.
40:45
I was once at, not from New York, but I was showing all my
40:49
friends they're like big Knicks fans and we're all sitting and
40:52
watching tonight. And I was like, even though Chad
40:54
played bad tonight, like he had a great defensive second-half.
40:57
And honestly, I mean I love J Dub but he probably has more of
41:01
AI. Guess you could say stealing
41:03
than J dub because they were just talking about, oh, if
41:05
you're going to trade anyone, you would trade Chad.
41:07
But I was just like, yeah, he's not.
41:08
I was like, his defense is great, but obviously if he
41:10
develops an offensive game, then I mean, he's going to be a stud.
41:14
Well, this whole playoff run definitely made everybody better
41:19
because we went from, you know, not having experience last year,
41:23
getting bounced in the second round to winning a chip this
41:25
year. Everybody knows, like we played
41:27
two series that went to game seven.
41:29
That's hell of a experience. We're going to go into next
41:31
playoffs, we're going to go into playoffs next year and
41:33
everybody's going to be way more comfortable than they were this
41:36
year. We had the highest turnover
41:40
differential ever in a single playoff run.
41:44
The second closest is was a + 79.
41:47
We were plus 131 and 23 games played.
41:54
That's crazy. Unbelievable.
41:57
Second team is the 2019 Raptors, by the way.
42:01
But yeah, guys, man, I'm still pissed.
42:04
Like I don't even get it yet. I didn't get that emotion
42:07
kicked. Yet I'm like I'm still in shock
42:09
mode. Yeah.
42:10
It. Wasn't like, you're not crying
42:11
yet. I'm sitting there.
42:12
I'm like, I don't know what's going on.
42:14
Yeah, that's how I felt too. I haven't.
42:16
Been here bro. I don't know.
42:17
I don't know. I already I completely agree
42:21
with you. I mean, I mean, I've had my, you
42:22
know, all of my favorite teams with all the sports win, but
42:25
obviously never NBA championship.
42:29
I'm trying to see videos of the guys popping champagne bro.
42:31
I saw they had it on ESPN before.
42:34
They did. I was trying to see if one of
42:36
them went live. You know how people sometimes go
42:38
live? Yeah, but nobody went.
42:40
Live. None of them did.
42:42
Yeah, I'm actually, I think it's better to not go live in the
42:46
finals cause like some conversations leak and other
42:49
stuff. It's better to.
42:51
Keep that all in the locker. Room in terms.
42:53
Of I told them not to, they probably told them they can't.
42:55
J will definitely would have went live smart.
42:57
Bro, too smart. They're all mature.
43:00
Yeah, I prefer them not to go live, not on the, not on the
43:04
type of stuff that they're going to be doing.
43:06
I could have almost promised you that J Will was going to go
43:08
live, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:14
I mean, they'll probably start going live like throughout the
43:16
summer, you know, give them a couple days, let them hit their
43:20
Cancun trips. I saw the video of our buses
43:23
before the game. That got me shook.
43:25
I thought we were done. I thought we were done.
43:28
There was so many like they were posting NBA champs like with
43:34
eight minutes to go when we were up 23 and then they started
43:37
coming back and I was like, Oh my God, overtime, like overtime.
43:40
And I think like basketball forever posted it and I'm like,
43:42
take this down. We were literally like we were
43:45
up 23. And then I I saw it like I saw
43:48
we started missing and we started.
43:50
Like we couldn't buy a bucket, man.
43:52
Yeah. We got 3 minute stretch, we're
43:54
stuck at 90 to 93 points. I didn't think we were going to
43:58
hit 100. I literally cracked out.
44:00
Benedict started, he went to the line like 6-7 times.
44:05
Yep, they can't. They cut a 22 point lead down to
44:07
12. That's not what you did there,
44:09
man. Literally, I think I was going
44:11
to rise up into the freaking heavens if they came down well.
44:14
We got, we got Travis. I was wondering I was professing
44:18
with you. Travis said when his I heart
44:20
getting on, hopefully in a couple of weeks, I'm gonna let
44:21
him celebrate first. Yeah, yeah.
44:24
He said bring back Thunder, Thunder.
44:25
Thunder will be back too, don't worry.
44:27
Yeah, we got to get Thunder back on here.
44:29
I said we need to get to 100 this quarter and he's like, oh,
44:31
you'll easily get to that. And I was, and just kept getting
44:34
closer. We were on such a good track.
44:36
We were on such a good track when we had the lead and then
44:40
they got a bunch of calls with Mathrin and then we went
44:43
back-to-back to back possessions of just like we just hit.
44:48
We were just trying to hit threes and we kept missing and
44:50
missing and then they got it down.
44:52
And yeah, I love him to death, but Shay was chucking low key.
44:55
Like 13 threes tonight. Is Gabe still alive?
45:02
I don't know if Gabe's alive. I don't know.
45:05
He's probably very overwhelmed right now.
45:07
He might be having a stroke, I don't know.
45:09
But hopefully he's hopefully he's chilling.
45:12
Yeah, he's got to be good. I know.
45:15
Jack's got to be happy as heck right now.
45:18
Shout out to Kai as well. He came back IG.
45:22
Shout out, Landon. Shout out, Capers, shout out.
45:27
Yeah, where's capers at? Capers is in OK C He's going
45:30
crazy right now, yeah. He's going crazy.
45:32
He's going crazy. He's not leaving that stadium.
45:34
I'm going to meet dad. I'm going to meet him in a
45:36
couple days when we had the. He's from what, Pennsylvania?
45:41
Yeah, something like that. That's far.
45:43
I'm from New York. I got to teach the rest of the
45:45
week. I can't.
45:45
I wish I could go there but I wouldn't be able to make it I
45:48
feel. You bro, I'm.
45:48
I'm here too. I'm here too.
45:50
Joe, what day are you going down?
45:52
Once we confirm the date of the parade, I'll probably go down
45:55
like 2 days beforehand, maybe a day beforehand.
45:57
Same. All right, I'll do the same
45:58
then. Let me go here a day before.
46:01
We got to get there, bro. We got Comcast.
46:04
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
46:07
Word What borough? I'm on Long Island, bro.
46:09
Oh, you're. On the.
46:10
Same. Yeah, you are too bro I.
46:13
Don't the county. Give it up.
46:14
I don't want to give it up on live stream, but we I'll, I'll
46:17
talk to you later, yeah. That'd be dope.
46:20
That'd be dope. So I'll get on the same flight.
46:23
No, I don't. I don't mess with flying.
46:25
I'm driving 20 hours bro, I don't give a fuck.
46:28
A word. Damn, that's crazy.
46:30
Bro craziest story is like Capers and I planned this whole
46:33
thing. We were going to go down the day
46:37
before game five. We scheduled the Airbnb and
46:40
everything thinking we were going to win the series in five.
46:43
I had to cancel that because I can't spend 4 weeks in.
46:46
OK. CI got a lot.
46:47
Yeah, you can't. Yeah.
46:49
Hotspot, Hotspot at Bring the Thunder podcast on Instagram, DM
46:52
us. So then we did it again.
46:56
We did it for like, I was going to get there the day before Game
46:59
6 because I thought they'd be bringing the trophy home and
47:02
they fucked it up again. So we got to yeah.
47:04
I I thought see from the start, but clearly that didn't happen.
47:07
No, listen man, it should have been done in five.
47:09
If they if they didn't blow game one series is over.
47:13
Yeah, no, you're right. That's what this team does, bro.
47:15
They like to fucking stress us out for no reason.
47:19
And I, I knew going into game six, I was like, we're not
47:22
winning. I was like, I know we're not
47:24
winning this game. I'm just going to sit back and
47:26
watch the basketball. I was like this with the way
47:28
this league is like we're not winning.
47:30
Game 6. I, I, you know, they once
47:35
there's a chance going to game seven, you knew it was going to
47:37
go and then 6. Game 6 was stressful man.
47:42
That's that's why it wasn't too stressed out because I was like,
47:44
I expected them to lose Game 6. Game 6 was a fluke.
47:49
You know SAP here hotspot. You sent the DM.
47:52
I got Game 6. Was a.
47:53
Fluke, bro. I'll be right back bro.
47:55
I got you. I got you.
47:56
Once they won Game 5 was like, alright, you know, maybe there's
47:59
a chance they win game six. I was like, this is definitely
48:02
going to 7. That's like Game 6.
48:04
I kind of took it light, I guess you could say.
48:05
I was like, all right, if we lose, I'm not going to stress
48:08
over it, but. We kept the same Nuggets Nuggets
48:11
script this series. Exactly.
48:14
That is kind of crazy. It is exactly.
48:16
The only difference was we didn't blow him out in seven.
48:19
Yeah. We should have blown him out and
48:22
he got way too close. Yeah, but realistically, both
48:27
series should have been over before seven games.
48:30
Aaron Gordon hit the game winner, Yeah.
48:33
They both pulled the game once each time.
48:36
This should have been over at 5:00.
48:38
But they won the championship, they're still young and now they
48:41
and they gain experience. I think that's the main thing is
48:46
they're young, they got the experience, and experience can't
48:50
be taken away now, right? Like they've been through every
48:54
different type of series I. Have a question, is it time?
49:02
Is it time or am I? Am I stretching it right now?
49:07
But is it time to start putting Shay in conversations?
49:12
Oh, don't worry, we're going to be having videos of.
49:14
I need to know bro, 'cause I'm thinking in my head, I'm like,
49:17
is it time to start putting Shay in some uncomfortable
49:19
conversations? Oh, it's going to be bad
49:22
uncomfortable, especially on like Thunder centric, like
49:26
podcasts and everything like I. Don't know because are you?
49:29
Saying for goat. No, not goat.
49:33
No, not goat or anything talking about like Tatum, Luca, you
49:38
know, players like that. I don't really.
49:41
Better than that means better than Tatum Tatum yo Tatums
49:44
bricks bro. Yeah, definitely better than
49:46
Tatum. He's up there with Giannis
49:49
Jokic. What up, Hotspot?
49:50
What? About.
49:52
Y'all Tatum choked those first two games.
49:54
He went cold. What about Luca?
49:57
He's definitely better. Lucas Fire.
49:58
Lucas Fire. No, Luca's good, but in terms of
50:02
no, he has Luca has a skill, but in terms of definitely
50:05
accolades, Shay's Shay this year is like over him in terms of
50:12
accolades this year. Now we're if we're talking
50:14
Yokich and Giannis and stuff, he's those are conversations
50:18
that I'm trying to like, think about like, you know what I'm.
50:21
Saying like he's getting there, he's getting there.
50:22
I think one more championship would get him over those guys,
50:25
but maybe be here soon. Sorry I cut you off there bro.
50:32
I love Giannis, but Steven, I don't know if you guys saw in
50:35
the first take, Steven has got a kind of a point.
50:37
He's kind of underachieving right now championship wise.
50:41
Well, he he. Chose to when he's done.
50:44
Well, he chose to be in Milwaukee, so it's like.
50:47
He's kind of a low key guy also. Yeah, you can only expect so
50:52
many championships. Hotspot.
50:53
How are you feeling, man? I'm excited.
50:57
It's. It's it's a long time coming
50:59
guys, and I'm just happy we finally pulled it out.
51:03
I mean, it took a little bit of a struggle, A tussle back and
51:06
forth a little bit, but we finally started creating a
51:08
separation in the game and OKC, all props to them, the whole
51:13
organizations and I'm excited. I'm happy we deserved it.
51:17
We worked hard all year for it and this is all we could ask
51:20
for, you know, especially with fans and it's what you dream
51:22
about your whole life. You know what I mean?
51:24
For your team to really win. And we waited for years.
51:30
Oh my God, since what, 20/11/2011?
51:34
So it's all the. Same.
51:35
We're all. The same, yeah.
51:38
It feels so good to finally get it, you know, after all these
51:40
years. We even had, if you look back,
51:42
you know, outside of the, the, the 2013 season, maybe 2014.
51:47
But if you think about 2016 season and then when who who was
51:53
it that came when we got beat in the first round against Utah,
51:57
You know what I mean? When Melo came, you know, we had
52:00
a chance. But if you think back to that
52:02
injury with Roberson, that just kind of, I don't know what
52:05
happened, but the momentum shifted and our team just
52:08
totally just fell face we. Had the Roberson injury, we had
52:11
the Russell Westbrook injury, we had the surge Ibaka injury, we
52:15
really didn't have a cohesive like attempt at the championship
52:20
even with that level of a roster that we had.
52:22
I felt like if we had one healthy season, even after that
52:24
2011 twelve season, we could have had a chance.
52:27
We never had a real chance to really have a healthy
52:30
opportunity at it. And that's really what sucked
52:32
about that team. And I'm I'm glad these guys
52:35
stayed healthy and as young as they are because health is a big
52:38
part of winning champions. Yes, and even when we go back to
52:42
the bubble, you know, with the Chris Paul era, it felt like
52:45
just before everybody went through the COVID situation when
52:49
we're about to face off against Utah, it felt like we were the
52:52
strongest team in the NBA, let alone the West Coast.
52:56
And that totally shifted the momentum too.
52:59
So when it when we got in the bubble, it just felt like we
53:01
could have been one of the best teams, but we just felt face
53:05
flat again. And what against Houston Rockets
53:07
in the Game 7 as well. So when you look at situations
53:10
like that, what's that? Dort had 30, by the way.
53:13
Has to put that out there. Really.
53:15
Game 7 Dort. Yeah, yeah, right.
53:19
Shout out to Dort for that. Yeah, you're right.
53:20
And the fact that we just came up short, thin, it was
53:23
heartbreaking. So you think about all these
53:25
years that have compiled up that we had our chances and then
53:28
finally get in the moment and winning.
53:30
It just makes you feel elated, you know, once.
53:33
We made that shade trade. I, I like, I was like, yeah,
53:37
Presti's different. I was like Presti's different
53:40
because every move he made, I literally like, I swear to God,
53:44
I literally I trusted every move he made and I always vouched for
53:48
these players since like Wiggins, like I, I watched
53:52
Wiggins when we sucked when Wiggins had an Afro, like I
53:56
watched like I, I saw the flashes.
53:58
I swear I was like, he's tough. He's just not going to get
54:01
talked about because we we suck. But I was trusting all the moves
54:05
pressed he was making and then like picked Giddy.
54:08
If it wasn't for Giddy, if it wasn't for him drafting Giddy,
54:11
we would have never had Caruso. Her.
54:14
It all boils down, you know what I'm saying, Bob.
54:17
Even even even past the years you're mentioning, Presi made a
54:21
bunch of moves all the time like bringing in Carmelo, bringing in
54:24
Paul George to OK see like bringing in all the people,
54:28
bringing in the bonus. He's brought in so many players
54:32
to where as if you look at all the other small markets, they
54:35
have not done nearly as much in terms of squad reconfiguration
54:40
year after year. Like he's always trying to make
54:42
a change to make us better. You brought in Kendrick Perkins
54:45
for that 2011 twelve run. We got Oladipo.
54:48
He brought in, I believe we drafted Reggie Jackson, if I'm
54:52
not mistaken. It's always something with
54:55
Presti where he's always doing something to incrementally make
54:58
us better. But we just haven't had that
55:00
real opportunity until this year, in my opinion, to really,
55:05
really get there 'cause even that Paul George Dame shot Paul
55:08
George, both his shoulders were cooked that series, if y'all
55:12
remember. So this feels, this feels like,
55:15
you know, a long time coming. This type of organization kind
55:20
of deserves it. And I feel like the Pacers are
55:22
kind of in the same boat. I want to give them full props
55:25
and credit Like they're, you know, Indiana as a state is as
55:29
big as on basketball as it can get.
55:31
It's up there with New York, it's up there with North
55:34
Carolina, so even like California.
55:37
So I think the Pacers fans deserve 1.
55:40
And I think in the next couple of years, they'll definitely at
55:42
least get one. At least get one.
55:45
I want to. It's also not against us.
55:48
Oh yeah, they got to let us get our three peat real quick and
55:52
then we can get theirs. That's the hope.
55:55
That's the hope. Real.
55:57
Quick, what was the what was what was that we sorry, what did
56:01
we get for us? What was the?
56:04
Russell Westbrook trade I can. Chris Paul, right?
56:08
Yeah. Was it Chris Paul?
56:10
He was on the Rockets at the time I believe.
56:12
Yeah, and it. Wasn't a one for one right?
56:15
It had to no. It was more I think, but.
56:17
Cresty one wouldn't do that. It was Chris Paul and four first
56:22
rounders, you know, and those fours say it again.
56:26
Who are those picks I need to know?
56:29
I got to look it up now on who those end up turning into, but I
56:34
think, I think that deal kind of led into the Paul George deal
56:41
that ended up happening. So it kind of turned into the
56:44
full. Paul George Trade.
56:46
I know, Jay. Does actually I think we had the
56:49
2025 pick swap, so I'm sure. Might have been shut.
56:53
So one of the the picks, I think the picks that we have this
56:56
season came from that Russell Westbrook trade as a pick swap.
56:59
The 2021 pick that we had and then 2024 we had a top 4
57:04
protected pick and we also have a top four in 2026 that came
57:08
from that trade. So those trades are or those
57:11
picks are still having to convey.
57:13
So we still got time on those that's.
57:15
Crazy. That's crazy, right?
57:17
That's. Crazy.
57:19
OKC had had legitimately won the championship this year, but what
57:23
do you think fans are going to say that now that Halliburton
57:26
got hurt? Oh my God.
57:28
I'm already getting texts. I'm already getting texts.
57:32
The narrative against OKC has always been because we're so
57:36
good when you're so good, like the Golden State Warriors or a
57:40
LeBron LED team back in the day, they're gonna make something up.
57:44
Like Lebron's not clutch as a narrative was totally falsified
57:47
because he's he's one of the greatest, right?
57:49
Like they had to pick at something that wasn't even true.
57:52
Same thing with Shea. Shea flops this, that and the
57:54
other like get over it. We saw Kobe, we saw MJ like
57:57
we've seen all these guys, man. Like even more recently, James
58:00
Harden, Joel Embiid, like we never said that about those
58:04
guys, right? Like even Jalen Brunson.
58:06
So they'll pick at anything. And as a Thunder team, as an
58:10
organization, they're going to try to put an asterisk over it.
58:13
Like LeBron won a ring in the bubble.
58:15
They call it a bubble ring. It's a ring.
58:18
At the end of the day, I get on Kevin Durant a lot.
58:21
Like Kevin Durant left us for his two championships.
58:24
But no matter how I feel about Kevin Durant, and no matter how
58:28
I feel about him, he's still got the two rings regardless.
58:31
Do those. I object, can I object real
58:34
quick? Can I object real quick?
58:37
Before you do, I'm just saying rings are rings, right?
58:39
Like, yes, certain rings value more than others, right?
58:46
But when it comes to at least getting your first one, like
58:49
Katie's first ring, our first ring, Giannis's first ring,
58:53
Jokic's, any player or any organization that gets their
58:57
first one, it really doesn't matter how you get it.
59:00
Unless you really went through a super hobbled run or something.
59:04
Then even then it takes a lot to get a championship for any team
59:09
man, especially an OKC. Yeah IA 100% agree with you, but
59:13
the only thing that that doesn't sit well with me is how KD did
59:18
it. Like even like.
59:21
Oh yeah, no, I'm, I'm, I'm the biggest Katie hater probably on
59:24
the world, man. Like, trust me, bro, I I know
59:26
what you're going to say. Like the way he did it, the way
59:29
he. Snaked us.
59:30
He didn't tell Russell Westbrook.
59:32
So he didn't tell Russell Westbrook, he didn't tell the
59:34
fans, he didn't tell Sam Presti, he told the fans that he was
59:38
going to re sign and in the darkness he left us.
59:42
So trust me, I have that. I know exactly what he did.
59:45
He left us for nothing. No top two player has ever left
59:49
an organization without that organization getting a run other
59:52
than OK C ever in history. The other another, but it's like
59:56
the way like it would be cool if he went so Golden State,
59:59
whatever he's ring chasing. Obviously he was ring chasing,
1:00:01
but it's the way they just. That's like Halliburton coming
1:00:06
over here. We just took you out and you're
1:00:08
going to come and you're going to like, you know what I'm
1:00:10
saying? He joined the team that just
1:00:12
took us out. It's crazy like that.
1:00:15
That was, that's the only thing, a ring.
1:00:16
I get it, I understand. And he won Finals MVP twice.
1:00:19
I get it. I understand, I respect it.
1:00:21
It's just it doesn't say, well with me that that was he went
1:00:24
and joined the team that beat that beat his team.
1:00:28
It gave off a. It gave off a He kind of quit
1:00:31
midway through at some point where he thought he would still
1:00:34
join them or something. That's what he gave me that,
1:00:37
yeah. He's kind of easy way out even
1:00:39
in that series. Like he saw them coming back and
1:00:43
it's like we understand like that emotion of him joining.
1:00:46
But I think the thing I was most mad about is like he tried to
1:00:49
fake out the organization by saying Nah, Nah, Nah, I'm coming
1:00:53
back because if he let us know, hey, I'm exploring options.
1:00:57
Hey man, OK KD, we can facilitate this for you.
1:01:00
We can do a sign and trade. Maybe we could have gotten one
1:01:02
of the Warriors guys and kept our organization afloat.
1:01:05
He sunk this organization when he left.
1:01:09
The mayor even offered him a day he didn't.
1:01:13
He didn't care, man. That's the problem.
1:01:15
He didn't he. All he wants to do is hoop and
1:01:18
we got to get away from Kevin Durant.
1:01:19
We just won a championship. This man, he's part of the
1:01:23
history. But what he did was despicable,
1:01:26
and there's no reason to mention.
1:01:29
Yeah, he's always been about himself and he's not winning
1:01:32
anything in Houston anyway, so Oh well, I think the.
1:01:36
I think the biggest thing that hurt that 2016 squad was
1:01:39
specifically two things. We didn't have a perimeter
1:01:42
defender that could really stop Klay Thompson.
1:01:45
That was one. And then we didn't have that
1:01:47
person who could actually stretch the floor consistently.
1:01:50
And so as a result, we ended up coming up short.
1:01:53
But that's another thing I want to talk about because it kind of
1:01:55
brings me to this issue. Our team struggles with
1:01:58
three-point shots this year, so I wanted to bring up Kobe Braga
1:02:04
and the reason why is because he is an excellent 3 point shooter
1:02:10
and I feel like maybe we could trade out of the first round and
1:02:13
probably draft up higher to get him in the second round.
1:02:17
But I'm not sure if you guys would think that's a good idea
1:02:20
or not. But he is the best 3 point
1:02:22
shooter coming out in this draft.
1:02:24
I think he is someone that we can target.
1:02:27
We've seen well as in terms of like draft picks and everything.
1:02:31
We have a bunch of seconds that we can throw around.
1:02:34
So if Presti sees him, the thing with Presti is with the
1:02:39
situation that we're in that I mentioned in the draft analysis
1:02:41
that we did recently on YouTube, we can get whoever we want at
1:02:46
this point. It just depends on who does
1:02:48
Presti actually want and what does he see in that player and
1:02:51
does he see them fitting in, does he see him fitting in the
1:02:53
timeline, things like that. So I do agree with you, he'd be
1:02:57
great here. I think he'd be great for most
1:02:59
organizations. He's probably one of the most
1:03:01
like if you have to rate like 5 underrated players, he's
1:03:04
probably the one of the few names that comes up because of
1:03:07
his height, his three-point shooting ability.
1:03:10
One thing that's like a skill that's in the NBA that you can
1:03:13
never have enough of is just the. 30 They're live.
1:03:17
And the shooting. Oh, there we go man.
1:03:20
We got the boys live right now. That's awesome.
1:03:24
I love that man. I love it.
1:03:27
I'm glad I'm I'm glad these guys are going live.
1:03:29
Hopefully they get like J Dub in there.
1:03:32
Whatever, I'm going to check that out too.
1:03:34
This is crazy man. Real quick, guys, I want to
1:03:37
thank you for having me on your podcast and Thunder up guys, and
1:03:42
it's been a long time coming. Yeah.
1:03:43
Man, hopefully get some rest if you're heading out.
1:03:46
I'm sorry Joe didn't arrive back.
1:03:48
I know he's probably celebrating or doing something right now on
1:03:51
a call or something, man. It's all good guys.
1:03:53
Thank you. Thank you man.
1:03:55
Good meeting you bro, Good meeting.
1:03:57
You nice to see you too man. Big.
1:03:59
Dub tonight. We'll be, we'll be going live by
1:04:02
the way, for the draft, so hopefully we can do.
1:04:05
This again, I'll be here. Yeah, I think it'd be fun to
1:04:08
have a live, you know, draft reaction from all the fans.
1:04:15
You know, we don't want to keep it to just the guys that started
1:04:18
the podcast 'cause we're just fans at the end of the day
1:04:20
anyways. Like, we're not, we're not
1:04:22
Stephen A Smith or something. So it's like it's better to have
1:04:25
fans up here. Seriously, we're not.
1:04:29
We're not anything like that. So.
1:04:32
We just say our opinions. It's just like we've been fans,
1:04:36
all of us since like at least 2011 and we've been waiting for
1:04:39
this and now we're we get to see the draft and you know, now
1:04:44
we're here. That's right, dude.
1:04:45
I can't. I, I, I still do for, I don't
1:04:49
know, maybe for a month I'm going to keep saying I still
1:04:52
can't believe we're champions like in 2025.
1:04:55
It hasn't fully hit me either. Like I I just, I'm lost for
1:04:58
words bro. I don't even know what to say.
1:05:00
Like I really don't know how to feel.
1:05:02
I feel like at the parade, maybe at the parade, that's when
1:05:06
we'll. Feel, I think the parade will
1:05:08
you. Be there.
1:05:09
You're going. Yeah, I'm going to try to be
1:05:11
there with the parade speeches that they're going to give.
1:05:14
I think that's what's going to, that's what's going to
1:05:16
absolutely probably. You guys drawing that?
1:05:20
Yeah, I'm going to try to live stream during the parade, bring
1:05:23
like a bunch of power bricks or something and just be there live
1:05:27
and as much as I can be, huh? They say when that's going to be
1:05:30
or not yet. No I have no idea I haven't even
1:05:33
looked it up to be honest. Like I've been live all day so I
1:05:36
haven't. I have no stats or news or
1:05:39
anything for y'all like I just been just watching.
1:05:42
They just popped the champagne. There he is.
1:05:45
They said Alex. They said Alex Dukas is drunk.
1:05:51
You missed it, hotspot was here you so you so chill bro.
1:05:58
Bro, I had to go out. I had to go out for good.
1:06:01
Send them a. DM later you see, you see J
1:06:03
Wills live. Yeah, yeah.
1:06:05
J Wills live right now. I was.
1:06:06
I was going to say that I told you there's no way J Will
1:06:08
doesn't go live. Now you, you called that shit
1:06:10
bro. Bro looks like they're in there
1:06:12
in there by themselves. They are.
1:06:15
I saw a video NBA posted. Shay and J Dub and Shet are
1:06:18
doing conferences. They're probably just in the
1:06:21
back, just partying while they're talking.
1:06:24
Here boys, look at this. Are you guys going to get the
1:06:27
Shay ones? Oh, yeah, I'm a I'm definitely
1:06:30
getting them. I'll be reviewing them.
1:06:32
Look at this, boys. Yeah, I'm going to get rid of
1:06:34
the overlay for us so we can just enjoy some of these
1:06:38
celebrations, watch them. We got Shay going crazy.
1:06:42
I hope. One thing I want to mention real
1:06:44
quick, Chet mentioned how he's going to have his special
1:06:47
goggles that he's been waiting to wear for this moment.
1:06:51
Yeah. I hope he brought him.
1:06:53
Yeah, I hope he. I hope he brought him.
1:06:56
Look at this right here. Left is KD in his first finals.
1:06:59
Shay is on the right. Ridiculous.
1:07:02
Man look at this crazy blocks. He's getting more blocks than A7
1:07:08
footer is and. He ain't getting no ring though.
1:07:11
Yeah, man, it's crazy. KD.
1:07:15
Oh yeah, absolutely, man. Let's see what 48 minutes will
1:07:21
dictate the next 10 years of our lives for real man.
1:07:25
Man real. All right, I don't want to be
1:07:26
negative, but I'm really curious what you would you guys have
1:07:29
done if we lost? Like what?
1:07:31
What did you picture yourself? Like, honestly, like, how would
1:07:35
you have pictured yourself if we had lost?
1:07:37
You want to see pressed show you, I'll show you what I want
1:07:39
to tell you. Nothing graphic for YouTube.
1:07:42
Yeah, nothing. Nothing too graphic man, but
1:07:46
please this is crazy dude. I was already.
1:07:52
I was. Like I'll.
1:07:53
Hop on Bring the Thunder podcast and we'll all be depressed
1:07:56
together. Yeah, yeah, I would have.
1:07:59
I would have. You guys would have seen some
1:08:01
shit, man. I probably would have hopped on.
1:08:07
That's what they posted. They posted that before the the
1:08:10
game ended. I saw man.
1:08:12
Well, that's what these time always media sites, media sites
1:08:16
always do that. They always post like right
1:08:18
before the game ends so. Oh that was like bro they posted
1:08:21
that with like 8 minutes to go and.
1:08:24
Y'all see the goat Nick Collinson in the building bro?
1:08:27
I know he's still on Denver. To Where's Mike Muscala at?
1:08:30
I wish. I wish Westbrook was there.
1:08:33
Man, Oh my gosh, I wish he was there.
1:08:35
He there's no way he would. No, he can't, though.
1:08:37
We just took him out. I get.
1:08:38
Why I get? It how crazy is it Shay?
1:08:44
Shay wearing his shoes around his neck bro.
1:08:46
That. Did you see it did?
1:08:47
You see what those are, Joe? Yeah.
1:08:50
Yeah, I saw them. They're the they're, they're
1:08:52
just for him. They're one of one Champion
1:08:56
Edition Shay ones that they made for him if he won the chip.
1:09:00
Y'all saw that converse commercial right after?
1:09:03
I didn't see it actually I can look it up right now.
1:09:05
The commerce commercial, they put it on right before we the
1:09:08
celebration. Oh goodness, man, raise the
1:09:13
champion. Look at this.
1:09:15
He had the mossy Blues on. I think.
1:09:19
I love that the whole series. I love that colorway.
1:09:24
Yeah bro, I need those and septize I'm not.
1:09:26
Going to I'm not confront them. I'm not a fan of his shoes.
1:09:29
I don't really fuck with the shoe.
1:09:32
Nah bro, I'm a new. Fan I like them.
1:09:35
I like them. I think the new colorways, the
1:09:37
more they, the more colorways they start doing after this run,
1:09:41
after the playoffs, they're going to get better and better.
1:09:43
I like all of them. The ones that I probably like
1:09:46
the least is probably the ones for his wife, the brown ones.
1:09:49
Those are probably the ones I like the least, but all the
1:09:50
other ones? You're not you're not fucking
1:09:52
with his wife. I'm.
1:09:55
Going to say that that is the colorway.
1:09:57
It just looks like the other ones, they're just a little
1:10:00
darker. Guys, 90% of fans don't don't
1:10:05
remember this era. I tried to block it out.
1:10:10
You know who's on that team? I believe the Deonte Burton.
1:10:14
Burton was on the team with Westbrook and PG, believe it or
1:10:16
not. Is that baisley on there?
1:10:19
Yeah, not on this. I think what's that?
1:10:23
What's his name? What's?
1:10:24
Baisley. What?
1:10:26
Go back up real quick? What was?
1:10:27
#9 Simpson. Was he the one with the with the
1:10:31
hook shot? Yep.
1:10:33
Yeah. Roby.
1:10:36
No. Jay Wells got more rings than
1:10:38
Luca, bitch. Nicola Topik has a has a ring
1:10:41
before Chris Paul. Now we love Chris Paul though.
1:10:46
That's great. And Russ, Oh my gosh, man,
1:10:49
Nicola, you know. What's like so odd to me that
1:10:53
was. Not odd, man.
1:10:56
I don't like I didn't picture any of these kids as drinkers.
1:10:59
Like they all just look so like. Bro an AAU team just won the NBA
1:11:05
championship. Bro Parker's popping bottles.
1:11:07
Let's go Bro an A Parker. An AAU team just won a
1:11:12
championship. Bro oh wait, if you're going to
1:11:14
ever be back here, we could be a dynasty, but you never know.
1:11:17
You never know. No, you got to celebrate it now,
1:11:18
bro. This is.
1:11:19
How it started for Golden State. Listen a lot.
1:11:23
A lot goes into that. A lot of roster moves, a lot of
1:11:25
being healthy, getting lucky. Dude, I swear after the game
1:11:30
ended it was a weird moment. Chet was talking on the podium
1:11:34
and I was just like, I don't know why he shot him to my head,
1:11:36
but I was like, we are lucky we stayed healthy this whole
1:11:39
playoffs. Yeah, man, this is what?
1:11:41
Started it all right here guys. Blessing in disguise that day.
1:11:48
My heart dropped like my heart broke that day.
1:11:51
But it was, it was all worth it. Man, I can't believe Oklahoma
1:11:56
won a championship. I thought there was a black
1:11:57
cloud around us for a long time. We won.
1:12:00
We won 84 games this season, guys.
1:12:03
That's crazy. Did you see the graphic ESPN put
1:12:06
up? And the first team that won the
1:12:07
most games was Golden State. Yeah, I saw, I saw they.
1:12:12
Didn't even win. They didn't win.
1:12:15
They didn't even they won the most games in history and didn't
1:12:20
even win they. Told No who asked the question?
1:12:23
Why don't y'all ask the question like who's going to be competing
1:12:26
against us next year? Who's who's who you scared of I?
1:12:28
Think it was a Thunder talk. Whoever asked that question,
1:12:33
don't Don't forget about Dallas. Yeah, Dallas is not.
1:12:36
If they get stay healthy, they'll be good.
1:12:38
Cooper flag, ma'am. Cooper flag.
1:12:40
They might be nice. Wrong.
1:12:42
Go get Giannis. Where's Giannis going to go?
1:12:45
Giannis, he's either staying or I think he might go to, I think
1:12:49
San Antonio. But hear me out bro, Indiana
1:12:52
wouldn't be making a bad idea. Wouldn't be a bad idea for
1:12:54
Indiana. Oh, he make a he goes and make a
1:12:56
Katie move. Why not?
1:12:59
Join them. He already won one, he already
1:13:01
won one himself. So go you can go join up
1:13:03
wherever he wants. Yo, you know what I you know
1:13:05
what I low key was tight about? I was low key mad that the when
1:13:10
they were on the podium, when they were, when they were giving
1:13:12
out interviews, they didn't interview Dort.
1:13:14
He's been there the longest. Yeah, ma'am.
1:13:17
He's only one, one of the longest guys.
1:13:20
Or the longest they should. They should have interviewed
1:13:22
Dort, man. Lucky with Lou Dort, man.
1:13:26
The one thing about that podium thing was while everyone was
1:13:31
giving their speeches, all I heard the whole time was Lou.
1:13:35
Lou. That's all I heard the whole
1:13:37
time. I was so happy because he was
1:13:39
holding the trophy the most. I was like, man, hold that shit,
1:13:42
hold that shit. You deserve that shit man.
1:13:44
You've been here the longest, you and shave been here the
1:13:46
longest. He deserves to hold that shit.
1:13:49
K Rich, give the K Rich, give him the trophy back.
1:13:53
K Rich give the trophy back to Lou.
1:13:55
Man, yeah, let's talk about this real quick since we're just
1:13:57
chilling out of Denver, Boston and OKC, the last three
1:14:04
championship winners. Who has the best chance to go
1:14:07
and get three of them in the next five years?
1:14:12
US. Has to be us, Tatum went down.
1:14:16
Denver's not deep enough well. Next year, too.
1:14:19
There you go. Tatum went down and Denver is
1:14:22
not deep enough in my opinion. Unless they go make moves, they
1:14:25
have to say us. Wanting to close.
1:14:28
I agree with you brother. I I asked that question to try
1:14:30
to make a point. Denver can go make a move
1:14:33
though. Like I I don't I could see them
1:14:35
trading him. Michael Porter.
1:14:37
Russ is out of there. They should have went and got
1:14:40
KD. Yeah, they they should have got,
1:14:44
they should have waited if, if. We go, I don't think KD but some
1:14:48
over the IT. Won't happen, but imagine
1:14:50
fucking. Jokic imagine you take that that
1:14:54
same team and instead of Porter junior, you put KD.
1:14:58
We we're not winning that. Series.
1:15:00
No, we we wouldn't have won that, Yeah.
1:15:03
I disagree man. You couldn't make a bucket the
1:15:07
whole series bro. And his shoulder was fucked up.
1:15:10
I mean friend, I love the championship but Porter instead
1:15:12
of KD, that's a huge difference you.
1:15:14
Know I would love to see Jokic team up with Luke.
1:15:17
No, you're right. Screw we won the championship.
1:15:21
I would love to see Jokic and Luca team up though sometime
1:15:24
down the line. No, we call that barbecue
1:15:27
chicken. That is BBQ chicken.
1:15:31
But then I. Think that'd be cool though.
1:15:33
That'd be cool though. I think most most fans would
1:15:37
love to see like Giannis Jokic, like Luka, like.
1:15:42
That might. That might be fun.
1:15:43
That might be, yeah. I think most people do want to
1:15:47
see something like that and I think the Lakers with the new
1:15:50
ownership after LeBron leaves, after this season, I think this
1:15:54
is last last season for LeBron. They're going to be going after
1:15:57
someone big. Bro Kai, I don't, I forget his
1:16:01
name, but with the Dodgers, bro, that guy just Rakes out the
1:16:04
money. I just realized, didn't Kyrie
1:16:07
tear his shit? Yeah, he's, he's going to be
1:16:09
out. Yeah, Dallas isn't shit.
1:16:11
Well. They weren't going.
1:16:12
To be ACLACL, he'll be back in like 5 months.
1:16:15
You think so? Yeah.
1:16:17
I All Star break probably. AC LS nowadays are like broken
1:16:20
finger. All Star break or before or
1:16:23
after All Star break? Probably after.
1:16:25
Depends on Kyrie. You know how he is.
1:16:27
Probably after if I had to guess.
1:16:30
And AD. February it.
1:16:34
Doesn't matter anyway. Yeah, I know.
1:16:38
Mother. Parker, Anthony.
1:16:39
Davis has made a fucking glass. As you said before, cut out the
1:16:42
future talk. We got to live in the present.
1:16:45
Worry. About next year, we got to worry
1:16:47
about it right now. We're following it tonight, bro.
1:16:50
Now look, look, looking back at this season, you guys watched
1:16:53
all 82 games, right? Every single one, brother.
1:16:56
Looking back at this season. Yeah, yeah, Bando, every single
1:17:01
one. And we got on live.
1:17:02
Every single one. Swear to God, me too.
1:17:05
I swear to God, me too. I watch every game.
1:17:07
Looking back at the season, we could have realistically lost
1:17:11
single digit games. We lost stupid games, like just
1:17:14
stupid losses and we didn't have Shet.
1:17:17
We had we didn't have Shet and Harnstein.
1:17:19
We had J Dub at the five. Arnstein was looking like the
1:17:22
best center in the league without.
1:17:25
We were starting J dub at the five and we were winning.
1:17:30
But we did. When that happened, I think we
1:17:33
played what, 4-5 games? We lost like three of them or
1:17:35
something. We lost like the Spurs, we lost
1:17:40
to Dallas without Shay. Like imagine if we I feel like
1:17:45
we could have lost at least like maybe like 7 games.
1:17:49
I think, Ty, I know what you're getting at in terms of the win
1:17:53
total. My goal for this Thunder team
1:17:56
moving forward is to continue to preserve the starting lineup.
1:18:01
I'm hoping Shay doesn't play over 30 minutes per game next
1:18:05
season. Preserve these guys because if
1:18:08
you have to keep going back-to-back to back-to-back, at
1:18:10
some point you got to start load managing.
1:18:12
You can't really worry about regular season wins moving next
1:18:15
season. If we get 75 wins or whether we
1:18:19
get 55 wins, I don't care what seed we are.
1:18:23
I do I I prefer a top two seed every year.
1:18:27
I don't. I don't think it matters.
1:18:29
I don't. Think it matters?
1:18:29
It doesn't matter because I go to a game seven in the NBA
1:18:33
Finals and this team is on the road.
1:18:34
It's a whole different story. Yeah, once.
1:18:36
You have the experience, I don't think it matters.
1:18:38
I was thinking about that, Joe Thank God we had homecourt in
1:18:41
Game 7. Thank God.
1:18:43
Well, on the road. We would listen.
1:18:46
Mark said it, bro. He said.
1:18:48
He worked really hard to be, you know, in a, in a position to
1:18:50
have this game at home. I think going forward it'll mean
1:18:54
less and less because obviously we're getting more experience.
1:18:57
But this year, if we if we were in Indiana, I don't know if we
1:19:00
would have pulled that out. I don't mean, I don't mean about
1:19:03
this year, I just mean moving forward.
1:19:05
Yeah, if. We get.
1:19:08
If we get 60 wins next year and we're like, you know, top four
1:19:13
seed or something, I don't think we're going to drop below that
1:19:15
by the way, Joe, So it's like. We should be like next two
1:19:19
years. Yeah, yeah, as long as we're
1:19:21
hitting A60 win threshold, everyone's healthy going into
1:19:24
the playoff run. Like, I don't want them to
1:19:26
overextend these guys and start playing them.
1:19:28
Listen, yeah, deeper team next year with toe pitch and AJ
1:19:32
Mitchell and. Yeah, I say, I say those are the
1:19:34
those are the first two priorities to develop and get
1:19:36
them ready for playoffs, toe pitch and and AJ and whoever we
1:19:40
pick at 15. Right.
1:19:42
I think we're I actually think we're going to trade up though.
1:19:45
I. I said that.
1:19:46
I said that as well. Keep.
1:19:47
All those players on the roster. Like, we're going for the 12th
1:19:51
overall pick, boys. Yeah, sounds right.
1:19:53
What were you saying? Poker.
1:19:56
I was like, you can't keep all those parts on the rosters with
1:19:59
those picks, so you might as well have used them to move up,
1:20:02
right, right. And also I even though obviously
1:20:05
we won, God was, but like I feel like we still can use another
1:20:09
big man on the roster. Hold up one second. yo-yo, I got
1:20:13
to interrupt. I got to interrupt everyone
1:20:15
watching. I know you know Thunder.
1:20:18
I know you know our super fan Thunder.
1:20:19
Hold on, let me take off my virtual background.
1:20:22
Please do, I can't wait for this.
1:20:24
We got a sneak peek at what Thunder is up to right now.
1:20:27
Oh goodness. Let's go, man, let's go.
1:20:41
Oh my. Goodness.
1:20:43
Best fan in the world right there.
1:20:45
Best fan in the world, right? There, Yeah, Honestly, he's the
1:20:48
number. He's he.
1:20:49
He's got to be the number one fan.
1:20:50
Of the belly every night. Yes, Sir, he brings it, man.
1:20:54
He's got kids and he still brings it every single night.
1:20:58
Yeah, man. How would we OK keep one?
1:21:00
Of those. Guys, how would we trade up Joe?
1:21:04
How would you how? What do you mean in the draft?
1:21:06
We have 15, Yeah. How would we trade up?
1:21:08
Yeah. We can package 15.
1:21:11
An extra first or second round and then we just move up.
1:21:15
Yeah. We do.
1:21:17
We do it every year. I have a gut feeling.
1:21:19
I have a gut feeling that Isaiah Joe's going to get traded, bro.
1:21:22
I have a gut feeling. I loved Isaiah Joe.
1:21:25
I love. Isaiah Joe won't get traded for
1:21:26
a draft pick, I'll tell you that much.
1:21:29
Definitely not. We got, I can guarantee you he's
1:21:33
not getting traded on. I have to understand his
1:21:34
contract is so team friendly, we're not going to trade it
1:21:36
away. You literally, you literally
1:21:38
can't trade a $7 million contract for a draft pick.
1:21:42
Look, it's unfathomable that Presti would do something like
1:21:46
that. How, What are we going to do
1:21:47
about paying these dudes now? I think you think Shay's going
1:21:51
to take the pay cut. Savvy here.
1:21:55
After this championship, Oh my goodness, I'm I'm like I'm so
1:21:59
confused now because it's like a double edged sword.
1:22:02
When you win 1, you feel like you deserve more money.
1:22:04
Always get paid more. They have to.
1:22:06
I feel like they do. You saw what happened to Golden
1:22:08
State when Paul and Wiggins got extended.
1:22:10
That was a lot of money. You saw what happened to Boston.
1:22:14
I think the most that they'll give us savings on is like 5 to
1:22:18
10 million per each guy. That could save us like 30
1:22:24
million total, close to 15. It doesn't.
1:22:27
Need much He's he's he was. He was hurt.
1:22:30
I don't think Todd Chet's eligible for 250 million, and
1:22:35
he's going to get every single dime of it.
1:22:38
Listen. It's not.
1:22:39
Listen. It's about getting every single
1:22:41
dime of it. What about Jacob?
1:22:44
He's getting every single dime. Of this.
1:22:47
Is killing me. No bro, they they just want you
1:22:49
a chip. They're going to get every
1:22:51
single penny. And we're going.
1:22:53
To keep those three together for a really long time.
1:22:56
Yeah, they're going to be locked in.
1:22:57
For like what we did with Harden?
1:22:58
Seven years, man. Unlike what we're doing Harden,
1:23:01
we will keep them together for a very long time until all of us
1:23:05
are 35 and it's up to Preston to keep the roster around him.
1:23:12
Look, he put together a great roster.
1:23:13
You keep building around them. You just got to keep building
1:23:17
around them. That's it.
1:23:19
Caruso's going to go eventually. Hardenstein is going to go
1:23:22
eventually. Hardenstein will go eventually.
1:23:25
Everyone's going to come and go. It's just about keeping the core
1:23:27
together and putting the right players.
1:23:28
Around them. And we still got hell of picks
1:23:30
too. Yeah, we're just going to.
1:23:32
We're going to be young regardless.
1:23:33
Hi, I try to say this a lot, especially after losses because
1:23:37
I get pissed. But if we don't win the chip
1:23:41
like again in the next two years, we have enough picks to
1:23:44
get whoever we want like to trade for whoever we want,
1:23:48
whoever the big superstar is. We could go trade all of our
1:23:52
picks to some players and bring them right to the team.
1:23:54
So that's a really good spot. So if this team right now isn't
1:23:57
winning, we'll we'll change it, but it's going to be very
1:23:59
similar. It's always going to be dubbed
1:24:01
Yet and Shay as of right now, nothing to worry about.
1:24:08
I'm. Not worried.
1:24:09
I'm not worried about the amount of money they're going to get
1:24:11
because the cap will continue to rise, especially with Amazon
1:24:15
entering the mix as ATV partner. The ratings are going up.
1:24:19
Oh my brother, they're good bro. The ratings are going up.
1:24:22
I'm not worried about money is the last thing you need to worry
1:24:25
about when it comes to the NBA with the new CBA and stuff.
1:24:28
Just trust Presley bro, he's been through it before, he won't
1:24:30
fuck it up again. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:24:33
He's, he's, he's got us to a championship.
1:24:35
I I believe in him. I don't know if this is even
1:24:40
possible, Kyle. I'm not sure of the exact
1:24:42
contract situations, but. Shoot.
1:24:45
Austin Reeves in the offseason, I don't know how much he would
1:24:48
get paid. I don't know how much I think we
1:24:51
had a dead. Hit threes.
1:24:55
We just need like a guy who can just hit threes like when it
1:24:58
matters. No, I actually fully understand
1:25:00
there's someone, someone like that who could create and shoot
1:25:02
the ball at the same time. There's a lot of players.
1:25:06
That money can be completely out of our round.
1:25:08
Like I feel like someone just like liked his player or
1:25:10
something. I'd rather go for a cheaper
1:25:13
player in his realm than necessarily him.
1:25:17
He was the top guy in my head like thought process when I
1:25:20
thought. About, yeah.
1:25:23
We're just, well, we're hoping Topitch is essentially, you
1:25:27
know, providing the spacing, the passing.
1:25:31
I think, I think it's a good idea, but his contract's a
1:25:35
little too expensive for us. Yeah.
1:25:38
Now, now, now the extension. We can hope that Topich, you
1:25:42
know, isn't Austin Reeves, but it's solid.
1:25:44
We can hope that Cason continues to develop.
1:25:49
There's always going to be the core and and Presti will figure
1:25:52
out who to put around them. Yeah, I'm not worried about next
1:25:56
season as well because the contracts aren't not going to
1:25:59
hit in maybe until like 2027 as well.
1:26:01
So we got, we got some leeway and time.
1:26:05
We got time. It's not going to get dangerous
1:26:08
until like 3 years from now. Right, he's got to go get
1:26:13
another one, bro, bro. Max this offseason or next one?
1:26:21
Who is? SGA, you're going to get the Max
1:26:26
this offseason or next one. This offseason's fun.
1:26:29
They're all, they're all getting paid this option, Yeah.
1:26:31
They're getting, they're all getting paid this.
1:26:33
Season, Chad, Jada and SG are all getting paid this off
1:26:37
season. Yeah, they're all getting paid,
1:26:39
but the way they can set it up is like their extensions could
1:26:43
hit at different times, stuff like that.
1:26:45
There's still some things that Presti can work with.
1:26:50
But I'll tell you right now though.
1:26:52
We're going to be expensive. I'll tell.
1:26:53
You right now there is a way. I'm not like, I don't really
1:26:58
care, but there is a way that Chet doesn't get paid as much as
1:27:02
he would like based off his injury history.
1:27:06
There is a way. So we'll see.
1:27:10
Bro there's not a big difference between like 230 million and 250
1:27:15
when you're in the luxury tax in my opinion.
1:27:17
Like, yeah, there is like 20 million, shoot, but like at that
1:27:21
point we're going to be eating, eating a lot of cap space
1:27:26
regardless, so. Right now it's just about
1:27:29
running it back. To speak on tonight's game, SGI
1:27:34
mean sorry Lou Dort. How about all those second
1:27:38
chance rebounds he was getting? On Yeah, dude, he saved us.
1:27:40
He saved us and that. Was all over the place.
1:27:43
That's why we love him, right? Yeah, he saved us.
1:27:48
We're. Jumping around with Lou Dort.
1:27:50
Caruso said in his in his post game.
1:27:54
He said now nobody can say anything.
1:27:55
I got a real ring, not a bubble ring.
1:27:58
I heard that the other two days they're like oh Caruso only
1:28:01
wanted a bubble blah blah blah blah blah.
1:28:04
Oh, you said Caruso, bro, I thought you said Lou, Dort said.
1:28:06
That I said Lou. Doro.
1:28:08
Caruso he. Said.
1:28:09
Mando, said Truso. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
1:28:12
Yeah, shout out Lou Dor. Bro what a dog case and wild.
1:28:16
Man shotted us out. Lou Dora game.
1:28:19
Tonight, OK man was like my boys.
1:28:22
Yo Shay just score or Shay just had a 29 and 12 assist game,
1:28:27
most in the game sevens 5 blocks by Chet which is most in the
1:28:31
game seven in the NBA Finals. I thought I saw that.
1:28:35
I wasn't sure if I. Missed in the pregame they
1:28:37
mentioned that four blocks was the record and I was like yeah,
1:28:40
chess definitely getting that tonight and same thing for the
1:28:43
assist. It was like a ten assist record
1:28:45
and I was like, yeah, probably Shay's going to get more than 10
1:28:47
assists. So this team is broken through.
1:28:52
I feel like every everything man this is ridiculous.
1:28:58
Else you can go through series playoff lies scenario wise, like
1:29:04
next year. I mean, crazy.
1:29:05
You can always say, oh, they're going to be better prepared next
1:29:08
year. But like now they've faced every
1:29:09
scenario. So it's like, yeah, here's the.
1:29:13
Form my my my one rebuttal is just for next season in general.
1:29:19
It's really hard to repeat. We've seen that the Boston
1:29:23
Celtics were the best team I've seen in a minute when a
1:29:26
championship. I thought they were locks for
1:29:28
repeat or at least to go back. They weren't even close to the
1:29:33
same team as last year, right? And they had the same team, so.
1:29:36
Yo, the Timberwolves posted us. They were like, Congrats, OK C.
1:29:41
All the all the organizations. Yo, some they were like, they
1:29:45
were like delete this and somebody Thunder, somebody
1:29:49
commented, Are we cucks? Go look on, go look on the
1:29:54
Nuggets. Go look on the Nuggets page.
1:29:56
They did the same thing. I don't know Bucks at.
1:29:59
Least you lost your champs. That's funny, brother.
1:30:01
Comments be so funny. But I, I feel like there's so
1:30:05
many people that are like, oh, if I'm going to lose, I want to
1:30:07
lose the chance. It's like, bro, you lost.
1:30:09
Like shut up. I don't know.
1:30:12
No matter if save us losing like you lose, you lose.
1:30:16
Who cares if you lose it? Yeah, where it's like I did
1:30:20
something. People like Grandma, like, oh,
1:30:21
we lost a chance to cry. What?
1:30:23
What does that do for? You, I don't know if y'all went
1:30:25
over this while I was gone, but J&J Dome second most combined
1:30:31
points of history as a duo since the merger.
1:30:36
Right behind LeBron and Kyrie, right?
1:30:38
Yeah, before the game was like 450 points, 200 assists and
1:30:43
something steals or something like that.
1:30:46
Yeah, bro. They were like, yeah, I think it
1:30:48
was them, MJ. Maybe it was Pippin and then
1:30:52
some other. Maybe it was LeBron.
1:30:53
I'm assuming LeBron and someone else.
1:30:55
Yep. J Dub's coming bro.
1:30:57
He's 20, fucking just turned 24 I think like.
1:31:01
I will admit I hate that J Dub at some points in these
1:31:04
playoffs. I will fully admit that.
1:31:07
Guys, can we officially start pushing that Shay is a trophy
1:31:11
merchant? Oh wow wait, I had that set up
1:31:14
but I didn't put it on. Where's the Cup at?
1:31:16
Where's the NBA Cup? What banner's at there it is.
1:31:21
I put that here before. I didn't even put it on there.
1:31:24
NBA. Oh yeah.
1:31:26
It took me an hour and a half to put the banner.
1:31:30
Up. That's awesome man.
1:31:31
Dude. What do you what do you guys
1:31:33
think about the the final shirts and hats?
1:31:35
I think you're kind of fired. I think everything, the shirts
1:31:39
are Nats are cool. I think everything.
1:31:41
Parents are kind of good. This year production hype build.
1:31:48
I think it's a good plan. Commentators, I think ESPN needs
1:31:51
to go. Doris needs to kick rocks.
1:31:55
I think ESPN needs to go. She was the worst bro Oh my God.
1:31:58
I was actually like genuinely upset hearing her bro I swear to
1:32:02
God. Like I.
1:32:03
Yeah, she's terrible. Well, she'll be gone.
1:32:05
What's what's the guys game from Ian Eagle?
1:32:10
Ian Eagle. Yeah, Ian Eagle's great.
1:32:13
You should have had him bro. Guys, we just won the
1:32:18
championship and Netflix has a series on Alberton, Wayne
1:32:25
Alberton, AJ, so we get to see exclusive interviews Albertsons.
1:32:31
Can. Be pretty.
1:32:34
Much. Kevin Durant is actually in that
1:32:38
too, so we could they're going to probably show something of
1:32:40
him getting traded. Oh yeah, that's crazy too.
1:32:43
But I was watching, like I said before, with my friends, they're
1:32:47
all like Knicks fans. I live in New York.
1:32:49
And they're like, I was like, yeah, you just the you have a
1:32:52
narrative. Oh, Halliburton and played and
1:32:55
I'm like, bro, look at last game.
1:32:57
Like McConnell played way more than Halliburton.
1:32:59
So how do you even know if Halliburton wouldn't even show?
1:33:01
I didn't grant that he cooked in the first quarter.
1:33:03
Yeah, like 3 threes. But like, I think throwing out a
1:33:06
narrative like that, it's just like, it's just like, bro, like
1:33:09
your team won the finals. Like, I think it's kind of dumb
1:33:13
here and there. Everything that you're going to
1:33:15
see, don't listen to it. Your your champion.
1:33:19
They're mad for it. They're mad because of it.
1:33:22
I don't. Want to hate?
1:33:23
The Thunder also I I still understand.
1:33:25
That everyone hated Golden State in 2015.
1:33:27
Bro it's the same thing for years.
1:33:30
You build your team up there and they know you're going to cook
1:33:32
for the next couple years, so they're like, oh, let's get the
1:33:35
narrative going out with your team.
1:33:37
Let's hate on them because they know they're going to run the
1:33:39
NBA for that. It's going to take.
1:33:40
It's going to take about you. Would but.
1:33:43
Bro listen, it's going to take about 8 to 10 years for people
1:33:45
to start appreciating us non fans.
1:33:50
It's going to take a couple years for them.
1:33:51
We don't need their appreciation bro.
1:33:53
Yeah. So I don't really care.
1:33:56
I don't really care. But people will start
1:33:58
appreciating us when the run is over, if it ever is over,
1:34:02
because no impressive. Who knows?
1:34:06
My, my next friends are, they're like, oh, in a joking way,
1:34:10
they're like, oh, press, you'll be in New York in a couple of
1:34:12
years. I'm like, yeah, you can wish for
1:34:13
them. He's an old guy, dude.
1:34:18
He's not leaving. He's Oklahoma he loves.
1:34:20
Hell no. Pressed, He's not leaving.
1:34:24
I'll start a GoFundMe myself. He's not leaving nowhere.
1:34:28
No Sir. He's not shame.
1:34:29
Finally, if he was in New York, he could imagine the wonders he
1:34:32
would do were like in LA, but like.
1:34:35
That's like a nightmare for me if you join LA this offseason or
1:34:39
something. Nightmare.
1:34:41
