Key Segment Breakdowns & Insights

Thunder Claim Game 5 – NBA Western Conference Finals

[05:05 – 21:40]

Thunder’s Bounce-Back Win

• OKC Defends Their Turf: Following a blowout loss in Game 4, OKC took control at home, winning 127–114 to go up 3–2 in the series.
• SGA and Supporting Cast Shine: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (32 pts, 9 ast), Alex Caruso (22 pts, 6 ast), and Isaiah Hartenstein (12 pts, 15 reb) all played pivotal roles.

  "SGA 32 points, 9 assists, 2 steals... Hartenstein was really the heart and soul tonight." – Joe (05:05)

• Home Court Vitality: The hosts agree the Thunder’s home crowd and role players were instrumental, with Joe emphasizing, “they came out and put their step on the game. Home court advantage is going to come to play in this series.” (Uncle Joe, 08:35)
• Caruso’s Energy:

  "When he comes in the game, it's never a letdown, bro. It's either we keep it steady or he take you to another level.” – Uncle Joe (07:57)

Spurs’ Struggles and Young Players

• Castle’s Growing Pains: Spurs rookie Ocho Castle shows both promise and immaturity, especially with turnovers and fouls.

  “I'd rather have my dog out there barking, getting down and I had to pull it... than me having to push him out there.” – Uncle Joe (10:45)

• Turnovers Kill Momentum: Discussion of how poorly timed mistakes deflate rallies.

  “You just look at the number. See, I look at the situation... He gets two of those turnovers and create files. We got a seven, eight point lead. Guess what? Ball game's tied.” – Joe (15:08)

Stars vs. Role Players

• Wembanyama Held in Check: Victor Wembanyama had a rare off night (20 pts, 6 reb), unable to dominate inside, neutralized by Hartenstein and Holmgren being physical.

  "Tonight Hardenstein outplayed Wimby. Wimby is setting up too far outside. He ain't get nothing easy, Joe." – Joe (15:26)

• Co-hosts urge Wemby to embrace inside play:

  "He can't allow Hardenstein to make him one dimensional... He got to find a way." – Ocho (16:42)

• Crucial adjustments: The Thunder's bigs deployed physical defensive tactics and deliberate box-outs, which have drastically limited Wemby's rebounding since Game 2.

The Caruso Effect

• Shooting Prowess:

  “Caruso got to be shooting damn near 55, 60 for the damn three... every time he shoot is going in.” – Joe (27:41-27:50)

• Momentum Shifter: His ability to come off the bench and immediately contribute on both ends was a clear x-factor.

Coaching & Strategy Nuggets

• Refereeing & Free Throws: Mixed opinions on fouls benefiting certain star players, especially SGA’s 17 free-throw attempts.

  "He’s mastered manipulating getting to the free throw line." – Ocho (46:23)

---

Deep Dive: Turnovers, Momentum, and Spurs Adjustments

[21:41 – 36:55]

• Not All Turnovers Are Equal:

  “All turnovers aren’t created equal. Sometimes your turnovers kill your runs and give them life.” – Joe (28:29)

• Role of Bench Units: Spurs' bench improved but still struggled to match OKC’s consistency.
• Game 6 Preview: Hosts debate the chances of OKC closing out the series or Spurs forcing a Game 7.

  "If Fox or Harper, if both of them don't play well, I don't think they got a chance in hell of winning the game." – Uncle Joe (29:12)

• Wemby’s Conditioning: Indications physicality is wearing down the Spurs’ young star.

  “He don’t really have a lot of legs, which is why his rebounding is down so much... If Hardenstein and Chat plays like this again and Wimby plays like he played tonight, there will not be a game seven.” – Joe (36:54, 37:32)

• Series Experience: Nightcap crew highlights OKC’s playoff-tested maturity as a major advantage.

The “Celebrity Game” Clip & Soccer Trash Talk

[57:28 – 62:58]

Ocho’s Celebrity Game Highlights (or Lowlights)

• Self-Deprecating Humor: The group watches footage of Ocho’s celebrity game performance—highlighting a missed layup and plenty of ribbing from Joe and Uncle Joe.

  "I'm thinking... we finna see this man getting down, man. Come on. That's what y' all showing." – Uncle Joe (59:23)

• Ocho’s Defense: Attempts to reclaim pride are quickly shot down.

  "Y' all trying to sabotage me and make me look bad cause I'm black, see?" – Ocho (59:40)

Soccer Credentials & Banter

• Ocho Promises Brilliance: Claims to be better at soccer than football and teases an upcoming match, confident he’ll deliver.

  “I'm gonna give you two goals tomorrow.” – Ocho (65:44)

• Hosts Skeptical: Joe and Uncle Joe repeatedly doubt Ocho’s soccer claims, trading comedic jabs about his abilities.

  "You do realize Ocho is one of the best receivers? You do realize that, right?" – Joe (64:32)

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• Defining Physical Play:

  "Put a body on him. Just like when you're in high school... since game two, he was averaging 20 rebounds a game, now that's going all the way down." – Joe (35:04-35:26)

• Unfiltered on SGA’s Free Throw Frequency:

  "I've caught fish that flopped less than Shay." – Joe (47:02)

• On OKC’s Championship Mindset:

  "They not really trying to get up off this throne. When you've been king, you'll do everything that you possibly can to keep the crown." – Joe (28:55)

Alex Caruso picked up where he had left off in the previous first three games. 22 points, 6 assists, 3 steals. Isaiah Hartenstein was really the heart and soul tonight. 12 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists. 6 of 8. He was plus 24 and he did a great job of keeping Victor Wembanyama off the board because Wemby only had six rebounds. But Hardenstein was sensational night. Six of those rebounds of the 15 were offensive rebounds Jerry McCain was inserting to the starting lineup and he played extremely well. Spurs got to do a better job taking care of the ball, Joe.

[Uncle Joe]

Man.

[Joe]

Really that simple? You cannot let them get to 70 at the half because they can play at a place most teams can't get to the number that they can get to.

[Uncle Joe]

Right? Right.

[Joe]

I mean you did a great job. You had them to 29 in the first and then they damn near get 40 in the second. You get over 30 plus in the third, you're not going to be OKC if you allow them to play like that. If you give them that many second chance opportunities. Yeah, if you do not do a better job of keeping them off the three point line and tonight they were going down because a lot of those shots they had in game four they had some of the same shots. They just didn't knock them down. They knocked them down tonight. But you better not give them too many chances at you because guess what? They're going to make you pay for those. Joe how were the Thunder able to regroup? Joe because we saw them get blown out in game four by 20 plus and they come back and they win by 13 tonight. What was the difference between game four and in game five?

[Uncle Joe]

The difference to me and oo you got to look at ch. Look, look how he came out aggressive, how he started the game he in. In the first half, he had 12 points. Now, I know he only finished with 16, but I thought he was assertive, you know, in that first half to start the game, when everything was looking, you know, it wasn't looking great for Shay. Shay wasn't playing well, you know, and he's addressed that and he's addressed that. But I thought check picked it up with. With his aggressiveness, you know, having that thrust of getting to the rim, trying to make plays, and he got a few to go down. And y' all know, man, in this league, all it takes is for one or two to go down and you get a little confidence. And I thought he got off to a great start. Caruso has been unbelievable. He has been unbelievable. I'm talking about. Cause when he comes in the game, it's never a letdown, bro. It's either we keep it steady or he take you to another level. I think he's been great. You look at McCain, who stepped right in. He don't mind. Look, he don't have the prettiest game because as a guard, you know, when you see guys bringing the ball up, he don't really. He don't move with that fluidity, you know, like a. Like a Kyrie or Shay or, you know, guys like that. But he's so effective, bro. He gets it done, and he's not afraid of the moment. Shay needs another guard next to him who don't mind, you know, putting up some shots, you know, and making big shots. I think okc, man, they came out and put their step on the game. Home court advantage is going to come to play in this series. I don't think OKC can win game six. But they look great.

[Joe]

I mean, you look at it, Jerry McCain had the same number of shots as Shay.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Both of them got the ball up 19 times. He's not afraid he will. Hey. On a kick out where you might say, hey, pull. No. Hell, no. He's like, nah, nah, nah. This shot to go up. This shot going up. Ocho.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

You have the Spurs?

[Ocho]

Yes, sir.

[Joe]

They came out, and I thought they played good. They got OKC to call a timeout, and then right out of the timeout, guess what? The spurs get the ball back. Turnover. What they do again? Turnover. At some point in time, Joe Ocho Castle has to do a better job of taking care of the basketball, and he's got to stop. I understand, Joe. I don't want to rob him of his aggressiveness, but, Joe, you picking up files 90ft from the basket. That's crazy. And you're going to put him in the penalty. So now they're in the penalty with six minutes to go.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Joe]

The whistle is all the. The ref whistle is already on a hair trigger. You put them and Shay's gonna have the ball 90% of the time, 16 to 17 from the free throw line.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

How your team gonna get back in this thing?

[Ocho]

Listen, I, I don't, I don't know. They need to have a conversation. We talked about this so in length already a few games ago about Castle and it. In, in, in. I asked you and uncle Joe, you, you and I asked Joe, what can the coach tell Castle where he can still be himself and play with controlled aggression without fouling so much, without getting in so much foul trouble? There were two things that's wrong with him. He's fouling. He's fouling too early, too often, and he's turning the ball over at a high clip and it's putting his team in harm's way.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, here's the problem we got here. I'd rather have my dog out there barking, getting down and I had to pull it. I had to pull him back a little bit versus, versus me having to push him out there saying, you know, sick and go get him. You feel what I'm saying?

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

You gonna have to live with some of these mistakes that Castle's gonna make, bro. He, he, he. He's a young, he's a young guy. Hey, listen, he's guarding a two time MVP who shot 53% from the field throughout the regular season. He's only had one game in this series to where he shot 50% and I think that was like game two and I think he had 30 points. He was right at 50%. So I'm not, I mean, I understand Castle has made some mistakes, but we can kind of, you know, we're gonna have to make do with some of them mistakes. We're gonna have to pick it up in other areas. You know what I mean? I just think beat for, for the spurs to win in OKC again. Obviously I think it'll have to be a Game 7, but I think it's going to be tough, bro. They, they're role players play too great at home.

[Joe]

Yes, I agree and I think. Go ahead, Ocho. Go ahead.

[Ocho]

I was going to say outside of that, we didn't get much from a sale tonight. We didn't get much from Fox tonight. Wimby wasn't whimmy obviously most of the time averaging 30. He only had 20 champagne. You know, he had. He was 8, 15 PO faith from 3 Hartenstein. Did one hell of a job. Did one hell of a job on Wimby and not really allowing that many second chance points for the Spurs. I mean, they. They just played well. And that goddamn Crusoe again. And we talk about him every, Every, every series, you know. You know, to this point. And he's playing extremely well. Extremely, extremely well. And he's. He's been a huge different maker for them, man.

[Joe]

The thing is, Joe, I get what you're saying about not wanting to. To. To. To. To try to harness him too much, but I think the thing is he breaks their momentum. Yeah, Joe, we got a eight, we got a seven, eight point lead. And then he gives up couple of turnovers and commit five. It's a tie ball game.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Joe]

And that's. And that's what we saw tonight. And then a couple of times, I'm like, bro, where are you passing the ball to?

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, yeah, he get. He get a little out of control now. Yes.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

And. And I'm looking at Dylan Harper, bro. You got one of the best own ball defenders in front of you, and you try to get cute, and guess what? He going the other way with it, bro. You don't got handles like Kyrie. You don't have those kind of handles. Maybe eventually you will, but understand who you're going up against. There are certain situations, Joe, you just gotta go. Yeah, all that fancy drip. It looks good. I mean, you had. Oh, look at him dancing. Oh, hell, he. He going. He's snatching back. Oh, he go again.

[Uncle Joe]

He.

[Joe]

Here he come and he. You put that ball in front of him.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Thank you.

[Ocho]

Hey, the funny thing about it, Joe, too, when you. When you had finished that like that, that are very good, especially lottery. They can move them puppies left and right.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

It's the same thing with a db if, you know, you have a db that's very good in man to man.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

You always want to put the pressure on them first.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Cause you sitting there dancing and trying to be cute. All that does is plays into their hands.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

It makes it. It's an advantage for them. What you playing around. Pick a side, make one move and just go.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Hey, look, look, as. As a young player, bro, you have to learn that on the fly. Y' all gotta remember now, Dylan Harper, he's a rookie. But I agree, I agree with you, Unc. You got to get the hell up off that ball and you got to know who Guarding you. All that playing. You got to get at you all that.

[Ocho]

Ha ha.

[Uncle Joe]

Is getting one high, one high and it's time to go. You can't be playing around, bro.

[Ocho]

Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe. Hey. Hey, Joe.

[Uncle Joe]

How many?

[Joe]

How many?

[Uncle Joe]

One high. High. Go get by you playing.

[Joe]

Cause the next was gonna be he.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, look, you playing around with the wrong one. You got to know who you can

[Joe]

do that with and who you can't.

[Uncle Joe]

You know what I mean? Because them turnovers that they would. That they were having him, Harper and Castle. Yeah. They were leading the buckets, bro.

[Joe]

Yes.

[Uncle Joe]

They were demoralizing. I understand what y' all saying. They. They got to get better in that aspect.

[Joe]

And I get chat what you said. Well, Castle only had three turnovers. You don't understand. What if somebody only has one drop, but it's on fourth down in the fourth quarter and you turn the ball over.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

So you only. When he only had one drop. That's an important drop.

[Ocho]

Yes.

[Joe]

So you understand. So you just look at the number. See, I look at the situation in the ball game where we are.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

And we got momentum now. He gets two of those turnovers and create files. We got a seven, eight point lead. Guess what? Ball game's tied.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Tonight Hardenstein outplayed Wimby. Wimby is setting up too far outside. He ain't get nothing easy, Joe. He got to get down on the block some. I'm not saying he has to spend the lion's share of his time down there, but he's got to get closer to the basket. Everything. He's catching the ball damn near the three point line.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Cause he don't want that resistance. Oh, he get inside the three. We got. We got this elbow in his back. We got these arms.

[Joe]

We push.

[Uncle Joe]

That's resistance that he got. He has to go against every time. He know coming into that paint, I think what happens is Chad Pennington got off to a great start and it kind of.

[Joe]

You mean Chad?

[Ocho]

No.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, Chad. Penny Champion Champenney. I think he scored. I think he had like 12 points in the first quarter.

[Joe]

He did. He got hot.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. And I think. I think it kind of got, you know, kind of got guys off rhythm a little bit to where. Look, Fox never really got into the game. You know what I mean?

[Joe]

Nah, nah, he struggled tonight. I.

[Uncle Joe]

He did. He did. He did. And, and, and, And Versaille never really got into it neither, you know, because. Because Penny was so hot then, you know, Wimby and Harper and Castle, all those guys take over as far as handling the rock and making plays. But to me, man, I just think with the experience that OKC has, it. It. It just seems like to me they're going to prevail throughout this series.

[Ocho]

Hey, you know what, too, Uncle Joe? Wimby being a three level score and the fact that he's allowing Hardenstein to make him one dimensional because he doesn't want to deal with the pushing and the shoving and. And fight. Excuse me, fighting his way down in the block, being able to play with his back to the basket. He can't allow them to do that. He got to find a way. I'm not sure who. Listen, I'm not a head coach. I'm. I'm just saying when you can score in a multitude of ways, you can't allow a player to dictate what you want to do.

[Uncle Joe]

And. And you got Hardenstein and Chase homeward. They outplayed him on them two. Them two gotta outplay Wimby

[Joe]

28 and 16 what they had.

[Ocho]

Yeah, they did tonight.

[Joe]

Even if you just take. Even if you just take Hardenstein. Hardenstein. I played him head up.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Joe]

And the thing is, is that what we talked about, Joe. Those two guys need to be. They need to be equal to, if not better.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Because now we've neutralized him with our two guys and now we got Shay because we know Shay's gonna win his matchup.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

So now if we get those two guys to neutralize Wimby, we good, Joe, I thought the Fishers had a bad stretch. That was a goaltending on Corning. How did they miss that? The ball went up, the ball went off. Chance foot, how do you miss that? And the ref trying to get a challenge. And y' all like, what? What? No, come on, You. You can't. Joe. You can't miss that. Now, in international rules, you can go 10.

[Uncle Joe]

Right, right.

[Joe]

Right off the rim.

[Uncle Joe]

Right.

[Joe]

But you can't do that in the NBA. I mean, the man got. I look, I understand both of them got size 30 shoes. One got a boat, the other got a yacht. But the ball went out with chat foot. It did. It did.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, man, I don't know what the refs be looking at.

[Joe]

I don't know either. And Shea, 17 free throws, man. You know what I think? I'm thinking, you know what they might need to cap it. You can only shoot 10 free throws in a game. What? That's your max. They said, come on, man.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, hey. And when I was watching Shay, especially in that first Quarter. Uncle Ocho, his body language was, it was funky. It stayed.

[Joe]

Yeah, yeah. He's struggling from the field, Joe. He knows in order to, to get the numbers he's getting, I mean, he's got to go to the free throw line. And he does. Look, he's done a great job of creating that contact, but sometimes they talk about. Because the other night they called a file on Fox. Talking about Fox didn't impede his landing space.

[Uncle Joe]

Right.

[Joe]

He likes to come down all funky.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he does, he does.

[Joe]

But it's. I, I, I, I don't know. I, I just know is that if they're gonna knock down shots like this, it's gonna be hard for them to defend and like what they did the other night. Joe, I thought they overhelped tonight. Where in game four, they didn't overhelp. I thought they overhelped tonight and left some guys wide open. The first thing I'm gonna do is that I'm gonna run Caruso off the corner three. If you let him hit that first corner three, your ass in trouble.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Now, it's not to say that he can't hit the other points of the three, but he really loves that corner three.

[Uncle Joe]

He does.

[Joe]

And you got to get him off of it.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, yeah. Well, they got, hey, they got to make some adjustments, man, you know, because you're going to have to give up some. If you collapsing every time the ball hits the paint, that's what you give up. You're going to have to give up them sprayouts. You're going to have to give up some contested threes. You know, San Antonio has been great, I think, in man, and just isolation defense playing, playing Shay head up and not too much help. Not overextended yet. Got away from him a couple times tonight, but for the most part, man, they've kept him under wraps, bro. I'm talking about that first quarter. He was pissed off at himself. I could see it. You know what I mean? And I think they've done a great job. So if check homerich, he has to continue to be aggressive and play with that thrust. Cause he need a number two guy who gonna really come along. See, every game, his number two guy has been somebody different, Shays. So he gotta continue to, you know, hopefully somebody come off this bench and continue to come, come along for the ride. And I like, I, I like McCain. It was his first start. 20.7 for 19. And let me know you ain't scared of the moment, bro.

[Joe]

Cause he getting them shots up.

[Uncle Joe]

Yes, sir.

[Joe]

And I think. And the thing is, Joe, is that I thought, I thought the spurs bench didn't play bad day. I got a score of 40 to 36. But that's better than damn, 76 to 10 or 76 to 15 or the number they've been getting, I scored by, remember, Joe, plus 33 plus 34. We saw what it did happen in, in game three. Hell, they had 76 bench points. They had more points off the bench than the starters have.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

So they've done a great job tonight. They really did a great job. I thought Kelton Johnson had one of his better games.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Carter Bryant could hit a couple of shots, but they're gonna. Harrison Barnes, he. That's. That's four minutes. That's four minutes of time that I'm watching the TV I can never get back. Now. I realized at some point in time in my life I'm gonna wish I had those four minutes back. You got, but unfortunately, I'm not gonna be able to get it.

[Uncle Joe]

You gotta chill. You got.

[Joe]

Man, this man here. Oh, man.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, look. Hey, they didn't took Cornet out the game, though. He ain't been. I'm talking about. They go right at him.

[Joe]

your traffic cone Joe Hey.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey. When we come off the court it looked like the land like everything part over. Everybody in their party having a good time.

[Ocho]

Hey Joe. Like like the Red Sea Ocho.

[Joe]

You took the word right out of my mouth. I said they turned into Moses. Hey, they put this. Did they put the spear in the ground and just park?

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

And the problem is is that he's not a shot blocker. So like you said Joe, the lane opens up, he rebounds. How many opportunities did they get? He got. They got the rebound and kick out for a three and they get a foul call.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Joe]

And it's like like it's like when Wimby goes to the. Shay is one of the few guys that you will ever see in your lifetime that when he goes to the bench, their team goes on a run, Right?

[Uncle Joe]

Absolutely.

[Joe]

And that's not a knock on him, Chad. I'm not saying anything, but y' all see it, so I don't know. I don't know. I don't need to preface that with a caveat. When he goes to the bench, they

[Ocho]

go on a run.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

It's facts.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

The next game is in San Antonio, right?

[Joe]

Yes. Game six Thursday night.

[Ocho]

Yeah, we got. We got game six. We got. We got games.

[Uncle Joe]

I think when Shay goes to the bench, they're less predictable.

[Joe]

Yes.

[Uncle Joe]

You know, because you got guys now the. The ball really, really hops. And, you know, everybody can penetrate the paint and spray out for threes. And then you got Hardenstein with his activity, being on the rim, getting them second chance points. That's what gets you over the hump, bro. It's the little things you're gonna have to do to continue to win or to advance to the final. So I think okc they willing to do that.

[Joe]

They are, but I thought. I think. I thought it was Hardenstein's activity early.

[Ocho]

Yes.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Being aggressive and a little bit more efficient than he has been in the past few games.

[Joe]

Yes.

[Uncle Joe]

I still need more shots from Chick, though. He. I mean, I know he was great. Six for nine, but damn, I need. I need. I. I need a few more shot attempts from him.

[Joe]

Well, I think the thing is, is that when McCain took 19 and Shay took 19, that's 38. Hardenstein was six of eight. But, you know, Hardenstein is gonna be dunk lobbed or it's gonna be that

[Uncle Joe]

floater, that thing to the moon.

[Joe]

He's not gonna get. He's not gonna get very many more shots than that.

[Uncle Joe]

Nah, nah, he don't need more than that. Hey, hey. He's shooting that floater to the moon over Wimby. Big ass

[Joe]

Caruso. Caruso 5 or 10. He 4 of 8. Caruso got to be shooting damn near 55, 60 for the damn three.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, yeah. If he probably better than that. Yeah, he probably. Probably about 60% and he cash out. It seemed like every time he shoot is going in. I ain't gonna lie.

[Joe]

Swishing it ain't no bouncing for haul up in the air. There's some suspicion or doubt he's swishing.

[Uncle Joe]

And when he come into the game, bro, it wasn't like. It wasn't like they had control of the game. Like he made big shots to, to put him on run. So Caruso is a huge part of what they do, bro. He played well. It's gonna be hard to beat them.

[Joe]

I mean, San Antonio won points in the paint, but second chance points, OKC was plus 11. Fast break points. OKC only had nine. And I thought OKC for the most part did a better job of taking care of the basketball.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

It's just that all turnovers aren't created equal. I mean, turning them. Because sometimes your turnovers kill your runs and give them life.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

And so you can't just look at and says, well, this guy only had one turnover. Guy had two turnovers. You have to look at when you turn the ball over and what did your turnovers lead to?

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Thank you. Come on, spurs don't do me like that.

[Joe]

No, yeah, I think that look, you got to look at okc. They not really trying to get up off this throne. When you've been king, you'll do everything that you possibly can to keep the crown.

[Uncle Joe]

Yes, sir.

[Ocho]

But hey, J Dub not even playing, Joe.

[Uncle Joe]

I do. Well, here's the problem. If Fox or Harper, if both of them don't play well, I don't think they got a chance in hell of winning the game. No, because they, because both of them handle the ball too much. You know, careless turnovers, you know, not, not really making shots. It's going to be tough for San Antonio to win, bro.

[Joe]

But I thought Castle might have played one of his better ball games. I mean, think about it, Joe, he was 7 of 11.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

No, he, he had 24 points. Three or five from three, 7 of 8 for the free throw line. He had five rebounds, six assists. The turnovers came early. He had three steals.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, that's why I say I'd rather, hey, I'd rather have to pull him back a little bit. I let him go cause he go, he playing well here. He two way, two way player. He guarding the two time MVP and he putting up these type of numbers with this type of efficiency and we, we gonna have to deal with a couple turnovers. You know what I mean?

[Joe]

Yes, I agree. And I think the foul. So Joe, is that coach say, look here, son, I understand, I love your aggressiveness, but we can't have you. I mean. Cause he's at five fouls every game, Joe, he getting his money worth. But it's winning because. But when it, when you pick up those files now, it takes a lot of that aggressive out of you because you picked them up so early.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

And picking file up 94ft. I mean, sometimes. I mean, the backcourt, Joe, he just run slap over the man ran slapping the run slap in the back of sga.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, hey. He let, he gonna let you. He gonna let you know he here. Yeah, he. He running up every time, bro. Look, he wearing Shay down, bro. Shay, it's great that he has McCain there to, to handle some of the ball handling duties because it do come a time. She be looking dead tired out there. And Castle doing his job, bro. Making him work for any and everything he get.

[Joe]

I mean, he played 37 minutes. Look, I mean, the, the, the spurs had three guys with 20 plus points, but they only shot 40% from the floor. They had some really good looks at some shots that didn't go down. It's a make or miss league. The other game four, they made those shots. OKC missed them. Tonight, the roles were reversed.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Now, okay, will the spurs come out and play with that sense of urgent urgency, with that sense of desperation that we saw from okc?

[Ocho]

Yeah. Ain't got no choice.

[Uncle Joe]

Well, hey, hey, hey, hey, now, now we got to put it back on WIMBY now because if he has them one of the monster games, this is what changes it. But if he plays average like this,

[Joe]

no, they can't win.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, he can't win.

[Joe]

No, if you look at the games that they won, he's been phenomenal. Yeah, look at game one. Look at game four. He didn't play bad in game two. He had 21 and 17. But he, his imprint, his fingerprint wasn't on the game like it was in game one and game four. Yeah, he has to be that.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

There are very few times that your team can win a game without your superstar going off. Now, we've seen OKC win some games with shit's been. But they're, they're not there yet. They're still really, really young.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, as.

[Joe]

As young as this team is. This is a veteran ball club. Now, don't look like, well, man, this guy's only 24. But look, I mean, they're in there in the Western Conference Finals this year. They went to the NBA Finals and won. Last year they were in the Western Western Conference finals, if I'm not mistaken, a few years ago. So this is a veteran ball club when it comes to these type of scenarios. You know, been there, done that. And the more you, more you're in these situations, the more calming and the more at ease you are of being in these situations.

[Ocho]

Yeah, you Know too, when I think about it, too, if you think about what you think about Wimby not playing well tonight, right. He had what, what, 60? He had 19 tonight, right?

[Joe]

He had 20. He had 26 and 20 points, six rebounds, one assist, two steals, three blocks. He only had one rebound at the half, though. You can't do that.

[Ocho]

That's not gonna cut it. And obviously the Thunder know that. If we get. If we can nullify Wimby, not allow him to get down in the low post, not allow him to do anything for the, you know, from mid range, always have him out there at the goddamn arc, you know, trying to play from out there. He wasn't efficient from 3. So what do we do next game? We take that same formula and we try to do the same thing. So if they taking Winby away, that mean everybody else got to step up. Joe Fox can't have a night again like he had tonight. Basil can't happen tonight like he had tonight. They just can't. So what if they say, you know what? We not letting women get nothing. Everybody else is gonna have to beat us. I don't know how outside of champagne and goddamn goddamn castle. Everybody else got to step up because they might go into. They might go into the next game and say, you know what? Wimby ain't getting nothing at all.

[Uncle Joe]

That's where the problem you have. If he's not having one of those extraordinary type of games. Ocho.

[Joe]

Yep. Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Then, you know, you don't really. He don't draw all that attention. See, if he gets going offensively and he's affecting the game to where, okay, boom. Now we gotta double him. And he's spraying out, he getting assists, you know, and he's scoring and getting second chance points. That's when they're. That's when they're a much better team because he opens up the floor for the guys around him.

[Joe]

I think the thing that they've doing that they didn't do the first two games is that they're finding him and they're putting a body on him.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Whether it's Hardenstein, whether it's Chet, whether it's Lou Dort, whether it's Shay because she got a couple of fouls.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Because he, you know, he's trying to put a body on him. He's like, I can't. I gotta hold it.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

So if you notice no matter where the ball goes up, somebody got find him. Just like when you're in high school.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Find somebody and put a bone a Body on them.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. No free.

[Joe]

It's kind of easy when you, you know, you got a guy and he bought the shot goes up. But zone is kind of hard because you just like, okay, I'll block out an area and you let guys slip through the crack. But I thought OKC has done a great job since game two because remember Joe, he was averaging 20 rebounds a game through the first two games.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Now that's going all the way down. I don't think he's had maybe, maybe one. I don't even know if he's had another double digit rebounding game.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Because they've made a concerted effort to make sure when that ball goes up, be offensively or defensively, we've got to locate him and put a body on him.

[Uncle Joe]

Yep. Don't give his ass no free runs in here to the rim. None of that. Chug him every chance you get. Put a body on him. And look, hopefully throughout this series, it wears him down. Since game one and two, like Ocho, since game one and two, he ain't really had really that type of effect on the game like that, you know, from a defensive standpoint, you know, 20 rebounds. If he gets you 20 rebounds and 20 points, bro, it's hard to beat him when he, if he playing like that.

[Joe]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Ocho]

Yes, sir.

[Joe]

And, and the thing was, he was efficient with it.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Now if he gonna get, if he gonna have to take 25 shots to get 30 points and he's only gonna make 11 of them now he going 14 to 25 and getting you, Joe, getting you 18, 19, 23, 24 rebounds. You're gonna have hell on your hand because now you've got to come. They haven't had to double him. Yeah, they didn't double him tonight, so he wasn't able to locate open guys. He had a couple of careless turnovers.

[Uncle Joe]

But hey, and I think that, I think that physicality is messing with him though. Think about it.

[Joe]

He was.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, he owe for five from night tonight. From three. I don't. Did he make a three? He made the last game. Did he make a three? Yeah, zero for five.

[Joe]

He opened up the game with a three.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Zero for five tonight, though. Seems as though, you know, he don't really have a lot of legs, which is why his rebounding is down so much. And I, I think the physicality is wearing, is weighing in on it, you know, throughout this series. And if you okc, this is what you want. We want to try to wear him down. That's all we can do, Ocho. We can't do nothing else. A boy too big man, right? Yeah, if.

[Joe]

Yeah, if, if, If Hardenstein and Chat plays like this again and Wimby plays like he played tonight, there will not be a game seven.

[Uncle Joe]

Hello?

[Joe]

Is really that simple. It's really that simple.

[Ocho]

Don't say it like that.

[Uncle Joe]

Don't.

[Ocho]

Don't say it.

[Joe]

No, he. Because Ocho, he has to cancel those two guys out. Yeah, I'm not counting on Cornette to give us anything. I didn't count on him to give us anything coming into the series. And the problem that you're running into Joe, like, you're right, he is getting tired because you know why he can't get a breather? Because if they're down four by the time Cornette comes in there, they're down 12, 14. And, and Coach Johnson doesn't want the game to get out of hand, so he's not able to get his normal allotment of rest because the game starts to creep away from him.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Yeah, that's the issue. Check. Shay gets his normal allotment of rest. He plays the entire second first quarter and he's not coming in to probably about seven and a half, maybe seven minutes. Every once in a while he'll come in at the eight minute mark, but for the most part, he's not coming in before seven minutes.

[Uncle Joe]

Nah, nah. Hey, I don't. I don't think there's no way that OKC wins Game 6, though. I'm gonna keep it real. I think this talk about Joe, I don't.

[Joe]

Because I thought you said Joe didn't know ball, man.

[Uncle Joe]

Come on, man, chill, chill, chill. Hey, you gotta chill. Hey, you gotta chill.

[Ocho]

You know, ball, simply because, you know, for the fact that they're going back to San Antonio, the nun's gonna be in the stands, huh? You know, once they put them hands on. On goddamn wimby, you already know what the results gonna be in game six. Go. Go ahead. Go ahead, finish.

[Uncle Joe]

Well, I think, I think that his

[Joe]

support put the hands on women. Women might give you 40 and 30. Oh, Joe, Cornette gave you seven and eight last time and they put the hands on him.

[Uncle Joe]

Listen, I think his supporting cast gonna play a lot better in game six.

[Joe]

Yeah, way better. I'll have to show. I'm have to show up to San Antonio and put these CDs on him. CDs. So. But they're gonna, they're gonna need. They're gonna need to play him. The one thing about you, you know, say about, you know, the OKC Thunder having been in this situation, they don't lose sight of the. They don't normally let opportunities slip away because, you know, look, I'm not trying to put off tomorrow for what I can do today.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Cause I know I'm a twist ankle. I'm a overreaction or something. Anything can happen. Yeah, anything could absolutely happen. So I give. Okay, you know what? Just give OKC credit. This is about OKC tonight. I don't want to take any. I don't want to say, well, you know, X, Y and Z. But I think OKC took this ball game from the way they came. Came out. Yeah. They got down early and. But they weathered the storm and when they hit back and it seems like I thought what you call was making a run. What, that third quarter.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe]

Cut it. When they cut it. The six joke.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Joe]

Okay. I mean, they cut a 20 point lead to what? How many? Five. They cut a 20 point lead to five. Just like that.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. That's a scary. Hey, hey. And that's the scary thing because, you know, the potential that the spurs have and what they could potentially do, like, wouldn't know. It wouldn't be a lot of people surprised if the spurs won this series. But I just think some of the mistakes that they make just come back to haunt them, bro. Cause they so young.

[Joe]

Yep.

[Uncle Joe]

But they. They're never out of a game because of how hard they play and they compete, so they never gonna be out the damn game.

[Joe]

You.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, like you say, uncle, they. They chop back into that lead so quick. And then they say, you know, boom. A couple turnovers said, now you back down 9, 11. You know what I mean?

[Joe]

And I think the thing is, is that what makes you OKC so unique is that a lot of teams don't have the answer. Like when the spurs go on that run, a lot of teams can't withstand that onslaught.

[Uncle Joe]

Right.

[Joe]

Okc, like, okay, y' all go, y'. All. Oh, y' all just went on a 14, 2 run. Watch this. Oh, my. Now they go on a 12. Two, a 12, four run.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe]

And push the lead right back. You cut it down to 5, 9, right back to 14. Just like that.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. So. But one thing we got to remember now, we watching two of the best defensive teams in the NBA. They probably won and two.

[Ocho]

Yep.

[Uncle Joe]

So, you know, I understand the way the game is being played and how they are. You know, it's pretty typical, you know, two great defensive teams making it hard on one another. That's why you see so many peaks and valleys. Like great performances, then you know, not as great.

[Uncle Joe]

think it's going to come down to home court advantage for the next couple games.

[Joe]

Yeah, they're going to have to do. Kellen Johnson had five files. Castle Champagne. They got to do a better job. They got to do a better. They can't. They can't. They can't let Shay go to the free throw line 17 times. Joe. They can't. You got to keep it. I. I think. I think a good number for him is probably about 10. It's hard, huh?

[Ocho]

Hey, he doesn't. He didn't mastered being able to manipulate getting to the free throw line.

[Uncle Joe]

Well, he manipulating the system.

[Ocho]

He found a loophole. Hey man, it really? Well, whether people like it or not,

[Uncle Joe]

he is man, he's manipulating them dudes so good out there because look, he's 7 for 19 from the field. So ain't like he's shooting no hell of a percentage. Like he. He missing his fair share of shots.

[Ocho]

Yes.

[Uncle Joe]

But any chance he get, he feel a little contact. Yeah, he gonna give you a little. Little flare, a little head back like he gonna. You know what I mean? He gonna sell it now. He gonna sell it. But I don't blame him. I don't blame a lot.

[Joe]

I've caught fish that flopped less than Shay. Hell, I didn't know there was a lie when I pulled the ass out the water. I. I mean I ain't see. Yeah, Come on down, Joe.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Yeah, but he got. Hey, he gotta be. He gotta be in the 30s, bro, for them to win.

[Joe]

Yes, yes, he does. And. And it looks like Joe, his 30 is coming from. A lot of it is coming from the free throw line because they're doing an outstanding job of forcing him to take. Like you said, if you're gonna make these difficult shots, if you're gonna make 13, 14 of the 19 shots you take, and they're gonna be difficult, I. I just. Hey, I just throw my hand. Ain't nothing I can do. Hey, I give up.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Yeah. Hey, you shooting them long tools. 17, 18, 19 footers. You think you. You think Shay can make enough of them to beat us? Well, we gonna see.

[Joe]

And they play.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, look, and they playing great defense on him, bro. Like.

[Joe]

Yes.

[Uncle Joe]

They pluck him a couple times like when last time. Y' all really see that, bro, you don't really see Shay get his pocket picked or guys pick play great of defense. But it's the same way with. With Castle and Dylan Harper. You know, Casey Wallace comes in, he picks one of their pockets. You know, in open court, like, bro, there's some good.

[Joe]

These, some. These guys are very good on ball defenders. They got active hands. They're young, and so they got great lung capacity.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

So, you know, that's what you got to have. I mean, because the thing is, Joe, I'm trying to wear you down.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, I.

[Joe]

Look, I understand. I might not have an impact on you in the first quarter, the second quarter, but come late third quarter and fourth quarter now, can you still. Can you still function when you're tired? Will you still have the mental capacity late in the ball game to be as. As sharp as you were in the fourth quarter?

[Uncle Joe]

Right.

[Joe]

We gonna find out, you say? Yeah, we'll see.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Cause I'm gonna keep hounding. I'm gonna pick your ass up.

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

You might get by me a time or two. You might. You might cross me up once or twice.

[Joe]

Cool.

[Uncle Joe]

But you're gonna have to do that for 48 minutes every time. Every time you out here on the court, I'm gonna make you go into your bag. You're gonna have to show me.

[Uncle Joe]

They need.

[Joe]

They call Scott the extender and you want to get him to go a little further.

[Ocho]

I got you.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, they need to keep Tony Brothers out there though, for sure. You see him and Ms. Johnson have a little back and forth today? Yeah.

[Joe]

Hey you. Hey, hey.

[Joe]

I'm trying to figure out when. When would they know the refs, because like I said, Ed Malloy, Josh, Zach.

Isaiah Hardenstein 12 points, 15 rebounds. Chet Holmgren 16 points, 11 rebounds. Shay 32 points. Jerry McCain 20 points. Alex Caruso continued his hot play, great shooting from the floor. 22 points on 4 of 8 shooting from the 3 point line. He was a perfect quick from the free throw line. And they win this ball game 127 to 114.

[Joe]

Exactly. That's my point. I was expecting to see you do that.

[Ocho]

You're telling me Pat McAfee doing a bite. He didn't do a bicycle. He passed it to somebody that somebody else did about.

[Joe]

No, he did the kick.

[Ocho]

No, he did not. He passed it. I'm trying to tell you.

[Joe]

He didn't take by. He took it out the air. Somebody passed it to him, and out the air. He put it in.

[Ocho]

I'm never wrong. I told you that. You be trying to tell me you loud and wrong.

[Joe]

Okay, well, where yours? Pull up, pull up. Ocho, we fit the fight. We fit to find your highlight.

[Ocho]

I ain't had no highlights. I just told you the first game is tomorrow at 12:30.

[Joe]

You. Oh, Joe. I'm trying to figure out a man say that he was better. He's better in soccer, at football. Now you're talking about a man that was a six time Pro Bowler and a two time All Pro, right? Better at soccer.

[Ocho]

That's trash. Trash, Trash. What time Pro Bowler, huh? You hear me? I was a four time All Pro because of the footwork that I learned from playing soccer. I'm not an.

[Joe]

Okay, so that should be able. You should be able to go out there, get us a couple of goals, get us a couple of assists. That's all I'm saying.

[Ocho]

Oh, I. I had three assists. Well, you know how. You know how hard it is to score on this? Ain't that. Ain't easy

[Joe]

to score in the NFL? Yeah.

[Ocho]

Oh, for me? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Joe]

Okay. But you said you was better at soccer than football, so it should be even easier, right?

[Ocho]

It's not. Huh? I'm just telling you. And it's hard for you to. It's hard for either one of you to understand. Anybody in the chat that actually, actually knows the game, they know.

[Joe]

I mean, I'm looking at Messi, they like it look easy. Look easy, Lewandowski. It look easy, Suarez. It look easy. It looks easy. Did you just Messi it looks easy.

[Ocho]

You do realize you're naming some of the. The best strike of all time.

[Joe]

You do realize that Ocho is one of the best receivers? You do realize that, right?

[Ocho]

Did you just compare me to Holland?

[Joe]

Did you compare me to Holland?

[Ocho]

You just compared me to Suarez. We talk about legendary strikers. Like, stop playing.

[Joe]

Hey, I. You wasn't a legendary receiver.

[Ocho]

I was all right. I was all right.

[Joe]

Now he all right. You see that, that Joey. Now he all right.

[Uncle Joe]

I thought it was him. I thought you was him.

[Ocho]

Well, you know. Hey, my last name was him in high school. Hey, no, no, no, no joke. Yeah, you're gonna like it, though. You're gonna like it. You're gonna like it. The only thing I'm actually good at is playing soccer. Ping pong pool. No, that. That.

[Uncle Joe]

That I watch. I. I watch you in ping pong, though. I promise you that. I will watch you. I will watch you in ping pong, bro. I'm telling you. I'm telling you, man, this bad here.

[Joe]

Hey, this man said he was better in football. He was better in soccer than I am. We can't get no. We can't get no go, so we should be able at least get one goal.

[Ocho]

You should. You know, I'm gonna give. I'm give you a brace tomorrow. I'm gonna give you two.

[Joe]

You will give me two what? Two goals. You will get two goals tomorrow.

[Ocho]

I'm gonna give you two goals tomorrow. Huh?

[Joe]

Okay.

[Ocho]

You know who we playing? Well, y' all don't know soccer team we playing. Caglieri is a Italian team from Italy. They flew all the way from Italy. They down here.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, yeah.

[Joe]

Them boys should be jet lag. Y' all should run them off the field.

[Ocho]

Are we playing? I'm playing with a team from. From Spain called Villarreal Yellow Submarine. Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, hey, I'm gonna keep it real. He ain't gonna get no two goals. Let's bet it. Let's bet it.

[Ocho]

How much

[Uncle Joe]

you bet his ass whooping? Cause I know you ain't gonna pay me if you bet his ass whooping.

[Joe]

That's what we can bet he.

[Ocho]

Why would I pay you, Joe?

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Because, well, I track record. Our history is bad, so, you know. I understand. So the only thing I can bet you. Only thing I can bet you is ass whooping.

[Ocho]

Hey, hey, Joe. Matter of fact, you know what? Hey, we got the legendary World cup goalkeeper, Pepe Reyna. Yeah, I mean, y' all don't know who he is. I mean, maybe somebody in the chat might know. Y' all know Pepe Raina, right? Those that watch.

[Joe]

I've heard of him. I don't know him, but I've heard of him.

[Ocho]

Yeah, he's not. That's our goalie. We got some good players. There's some really good play you got. These are. These are former players that played at the highest level, so I'm sure they

[Joe]

got some guys on their squad that are like you, right? That didn't play the game of soccer.

[Ocho]

No, no. Every. Everybody's former players and some current academy.

[Joe]

So how you get on the team?

[Ocho]

Because that's how good I am. What do you talk about? What you mean how? Huh? That's what I'm trying to tell you.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, hey, hey. Oh, so you think I'd be a hell of a goalie?

[Joe]

You think.

[Uncle Joe]

You know, with my six, eight frame.

[Ocho]

Hey, Joe, you'll be like Courtois. Yeah, yeah. Nice and tall. But then it's all about angle, Joe. Yeah, yeah. Angles and making the goal small, depending on what. Depending on where the threat is coming from.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Gotta shrink the goal the best way you can. You got to be big, Joe. Make yourself big.

[Uncle Joe]

I could do that. I could do that. I know I could do that. I could be a hell of a goalie. I'd be stingy as hell. You won't get.

[Joe]

Couldn't even get no goal on Brianna Scurry. Okay. Ocho. Huh? Ocho.
