Welcome on to a Sunday night edition of the pod. We're doing this old school Sunday night style when we used to not record on Saturdays.

But Danny had a wedding to go to and I was at the game. So I figured we would just catch up on all four games tonight here on Dunkdown and Dunkin Prime and on playback as well.

Let's begin with what took place in Denver, the game I would say of the weekend

in terms of clutch, particularly given what took place on Friday night as well, the Oklahoma

City Thunder outplay the Denver Nuggets in clutch time and win it despite a crazy defensive

but in future iterations, whether that is because they win the series in advance or otherwise,

is not only which great defenders is he going to play, but in what combination.

And I mean, you and I had an active discussion, and I think it worked out pretty well for him overall in this

way. Yeah, it did. We did the fourth quarter for playback as well. And making the right decision

to move on from Lou Dort, who was two of ten from three in 19 minutes, and just took probably

six of those were pretty questionable shots and also

had a pretty ugly turnover just has not been very good attacking closeouts and I honestly think

it's kind of eye to beholder of whether he's better guarding Jamal Murray or whether it's
