Jalen Williams will return to the Thunder lineup for game one versus the Spurs. Williams has been out since game two of the first round sweep of the sons. Joe, starting Jalen Williams or are you staying with a J. Mitchell? Yeah, no, I'm starting J.on Williams. Hey, we ain't got time to be playing them on games here. Hey, hey, Jay Mitchell. Hey, we appreciate that. And guess what? We're going to need that coming off the bench, too. Appreciate your contribution.

You know what I mean? in them on games here. Hey, hey, AJ Mitchell. Hey, we appreciate that. And guess what? We're going to need that coming out of the bench too.

Appreciate your contribution.

You know what I mean? But, oh, yes, sir. But we need that all-star. We need Jaylen back in the line up, bro, playing against these Spurs. Hey, man, they're going to have their hands full, man. They're gonna have their hands full against the Spurs seem.

Spurs gotta make sure they just

the thing is with them though man they just hit you with this wave man you can be they can be up

by four and the next thing you know the thunder bro you down to you just that a quick and they turn

you over and they turn those turnovers and the points quick they both play like that though

okay ocho they got similar styles you know it's it's it's going to be interesting to see who

really takes care of the ball, meaning limiting turnovers,

and able to get great shots every time because they both thrive off turning,

making you turn the ball over and turning them turnovers into points.

Yep.

So, and Will Wimby back there, bro?

I'm curious to see how dominant he'll be against Hardinstein and Chek I know him and Chick has had their back and forth over the years. Yeah. And I think it's going to be a hell of a battle. It's going to be a hell of a hell of him. You're going to have to stay out of fire trouble, Joe. He can't get in fire trouble like he did against, like, what you call him? Because those bigs, see, he didn't have to worry about that big he didn't have to

worry about Rudy because Rudy can't hurt him scoring check can hurt your score and and Hardinstein got a

nice little float game to where he got a nice little touch shots you know he ain't got always

dunk the ball I think he a hell of a decision maker he a lot better. He's a lot better decision maker than Rudy is with the ball in his hands, going in the dribble handouts, getting into the teeth of the defense, spraying out for three. The chemistry that Hardinstein and check has, meaning on that back line that where they throwing lobs and getting each other that's going to come

into play this whole entire series and both of those guys are more active than Rudy oh so that's that's

the problem that you run into when you go out now you got seven footers that are active Rudy

unfortunately Rudy basically a fire hydrant because offensively he couldn't give you none. Now, Cornynett is played really well. I like Cornynett. I like Cornyn. I like Cornyn. I like his game. Joe, look, he's going to hustle. He's going to give you some rebounds. He's going to give you some rebounds. He'll give you a putback.'ll give you a lot of, you know, he'll live threat. Boston missed him too. Yes, Lord they do. Boston needed, Boston missed him this year. Okay, I don't you. I think they kind of took him for granted in the role that he played over the past few years because he was great for them. But you because you gave up him and you gave up Big Al. Okay, you like Quater. Yeah. And Poizinger's shit. You gave a four, you gave a four guys that a 16 or better. Yeah, but hey, look, Poizinger's always hurt, Ocho, but when he came back in them finals, yeah, he won them at least two games in their finals. Yeah.

Yeah. Hey, I can't remember who y'all said. I just want to make sure I take, I take a good

...
