  Speaker 2: Last night, Cameron Parker was very happy to see his
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: beloved Oklahoma City thunder dispatched the Dallas Mavericks beat them
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: and move on to the If you Will Final four
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: of the Emirates NBA Cup.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: They won last night one eighteen one oh four.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: SGA said gil just Alexander thirty nine points for that.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: The Mavericks couldn't stop turning the ball over in the
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: first half. That was a big problem. They just kept
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: turning over the ball and that that really dug them
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: a hole. And then they tried to come back a
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: little bit. But too much, SGA. Too much Oklahoma City.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: They do look like certainly the best team in the
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: West right now. And I know they were the number
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: one seed in this tournament, but they do look like
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: the best team certainly in the West of not all
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: the NBA.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they did.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: And you know, it's it's kind of tough to really
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: evaluate this game because on one hand, ok see, you
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: don't have Chut Homegrend Dallas that I had PJ. Washington,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: two guys that played big roles in last year's semi
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: finals matchup, and you know, two guys who were gonna
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: have big roles down the stretch later on this season.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: For the two games, but going back to last year
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: semi finals, there was two reasons why I thought okay
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Se lost that series. One rebounding, could not get rebounds,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: and critical moments against Daniel Gafford in PJ. Washington. The
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: second thing was didn't not have a reliable number two
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: score behind Shay Now last night Shaye dropped almost forty points.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Did not matter who was number two and number three,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: But on the glass, okay See dominated, and especially with
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Isaiah Hartenstein thirteen rebounds, okay See out rebounded them by
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: like eight or seven. It was a little bit longer
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: before the subs came in. That was critical for me
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: to see because last year so many more second possessions
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: were created by Dallas able to rebound. The basketball kind
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: of flipped in the game last night. Craig, So, a
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: big victory for okay See and they're going to get
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Golden State team that they've beaten once and lost two
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: once in a Houston team that has given them fits
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: so far this season.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Which one do you think wins the game? It's in
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Houston tonight.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Houston beat them the other week. I think without chet
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Holme Bren Houston can play a little bit smaller to
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: their advantage. But you know, so I'll go with Houston,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I think. But that's just the cynical Okay, see phantomy.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, And last night the other matchup, Milwaukee
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: held off a feisty Orlando team. They won one fourteen
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: one O nine, but they went down into the final
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: final seconds.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Of that before the Bucks won.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: And by the way, it's the second straight year for
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the Bucks to get into the semifinals, to get to
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Vegas where the semifinals and finals are played.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Milwaukee, everyone was ready to write them off after
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: the first like two weeks of the season.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Now they're playing doctor Rivers firing watch was on, yep, yep.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: But as you see, you know that now they're playing
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: good defense, which is it's huge from Milwaukee team for Orlando,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: no Apollo, no friends, Wagner. You know, they're battling the
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: injury bug right now.
• 3:11

• 3:20
  Speaker 3: way or Trey Young? Sorry, it seems who's Tredy Jones,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Trey Young seems to always play really well at the
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Garden for some reason.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: But I think New York is just a better team.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that's the first game, and then Golden
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: State Houston saying, and the winners of those two games
