Let us now speak of the Golden State Warriors, my hometown team, and that of course of Anthony Slater of ESPN, no longer The Athletic.

How you doing, man?

Very good.

How long have we been doing these?

I might have been back, Mercury News days, Oklahoma days.

Did we ever do a Thunder version of this?

Yes, I would imagine that we did. I mean, the first pod we ever did, well actually, no, probably

not. Probably not. I don't know that we, maybe I would have had you on in 2015. I don't know if we

really got to know each other until that playoff series between the Warriors and Thunder.

And I actually went on your pod at the Oklahoma in between games three and four, as we talked about whether the 2016 Warriors

Warriors could come back or not or whether they're going to get blown off the floor in that.

They looked done in that series.

I remember half time of Game 4 of that Warriors Thunder 2016 series and Thunder's up

like 20.

They're up 2-0 in the series.

They're clearly going up 3-1.

And it was like, wow, this Thunder team is like overwhelming right now.

But, you know, didn't end that way.

No, it didn't.

I probably slummed it with Strauss for the Warriors preview the next year, but then I, I think, I would guess I probably wised up after that and went with you.

Because I guess, yeah, I guess he was, he only did that one year. He would have been in retirement after that.

So, yeah, we've been doing this for a while. This is number, number eight, number nine.
