Number one with SGA, he was quieted early in this game to where you thought there was a chance, a small chance, the Knicks could end the streak.

I think he was at about 15 late third quarter, but the whistle is his friend.

And I commend SGA for this.

He is so good at manipulating the officials and getting to the free throw line at an insane rate,

which he did yesterday. It's not just him. It's the entire Thunder team. I know it's frustrating

if you're a Nick fan. This is what they do. The other observation I had with Deuce coming back

was trying to figure out in the postseason who is the guy losing their minutes. You know,

right now Landry Shamid is still banged up, but Jordan Clarkson is back into the good graces of Mike Brown playing 15, 20 minutes tonight. Jose Alvarado is still out there playing minutes. So we got a little bit of a preview, but with Sham it out, you really can tell. And unfortunately, as we mentioned earlier, Deuce got re-injured last night. So fingers crossed,

he's going to be okay. And McKell Bridges wasn't bad. He actually got off to a decent start. McHale Bridges is time to step up. Well, he did a little bit last night. A little bit. And Jaylin was Jaylin. We know that. You know Brunza flops a lot. Yeah, but so do the thunder. I mean, they flop more.

But look,

what does it mean

to lose to the

Thunder in Oklahoma

sitting on a Sunday a lot. Yeah, but so to the thunder. I mean, they flop more. But look, what does it mean to lose to

the thunder in Oklahoma sitting on a Sunday night? It doesn't mean much. I'm not going nuts about

their struggles against good teams recently. They've beaten plenty of good teams earlier this season.

The real focus is making sure you're healthy for the playoffs, figuring out your rotations,

and then, and this is up to the individual, Teak, how much do you care about the two-seed, the three-seat, or the four-seat? Yeah. I mean, you talk about from a fan standpoint or from a team standpoint. I think from a fan standpoint in terms of how important is it truly. Hold on one second of this fan focus was sponsored by Town Fair Tyre. Nobody beats Town Fair Ty or nobody. Well, I think the fan only cares because of what they project is going to potentially be in the future. But ultimately, you've got to get through the existing round. So forget the future for right now. Just worry about who you're going to end up having to play. And so I think the bigger issue for me, if I'm a fan, is how well are you playing?

Right?

And it's not even, we said this last week because they went, what, they went, seven in a row, maybe eight, it was seven in a row, I think it was. And they were doing it against teams that were tanking. It was just against teams that didn't mean it. It didn't mean anything. Then they play the Hornets in Thunder and they get slapped around. Right. And so it's, that's more the issue.

It's not like, where are we going to be seated.

It's, do we have to be seated? Then they play the Hornets in Thunder and they get slapped around. Right. And so that's more the issue.
