00:00a few more weeks of the regular season in the association. So
00:04trying to crystallize what the playoff picture is going to
00:07look like in the NBA. And there is very, very, very, very, very
00:10little doubt, JY, that Oklahoma City will be the one seed in
00:14the Western Conference. Now a 12 game advantage after they
00:18stomped on the Nuggets yesterday at home 127-103. OKC covers as
00:24a seven and a half point favorite. We'll get to the
00:27individual component and the MVP race angle of this game in
00:31just a moment. But JY, from the team perspective, the Thunder
00:34make a statement that four in a way, they are the best team out
00:38West. What did Oklahoma City show you? That their firepower
00:43is absolutely dynamic, and that they can hit you in so many
00:46different ways. And now with Chet back, Hartside back after
00:51the second injury, Ben, now they're looking whole. And now
00:56they're looking even more dangerous. Come down the
00:59stretch. To look at a team in a game that I think was a one
01:03possession game going into the fourth quarter, and to outscore
01:07a team 41-20 is just a testament to this team. And it's one of
01:11these things where like you start peeling back the box
01:14score. You're like, oh, wow, you know, a guy like Michael
01:17Porta Jr., well, he was fantastic, right? 24-15. He was
01:21a minus 33, right? So you got to start looking at just not the
01:25stats, but how it relates to how players are on the floor.
01:28Obviously, we'll talk about SGA in a second, but Jalen Williams,
01:31fantastic. The ability to block shots with four. They just, they
01:35hit you in waves, and it comes to a point where they can pick
01:39who is the guy that's going. And usually, here's the problem. You
01:44don't have enough defenders to deal with all those scores with
01:48OKC.
