This is the day and more NBA podcast brought to you by the Genesis Company

I've actually already recorded that with him and we just get into some things that I got at practice today, but also just into the

matchup of the Wolters, the Thunder. It's one of those segments that I do from time to time where I go

on another team-specific show and then just kind of take the audio

from that conversation and plug it in over here. I hope those conversations are valuable

that I have about the opponent at the guest as well. So we'll get into that in the second half of the episode, but let's start with Rudy.

He humored a few questions about the scuffle with Anderson before asking to focus on the next game.

I personally found what he shared about his back spasms and how those are still bothering him
