0:00.0	Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our Humbley Bo, the Thunderdow.
0:05.6	On this Super Sports Thursday, May 28, 2006, this sports program begins now.
0:13.4	Sports are the absolute greatest, and I'll tell you what, last night a wagon continued to be a wagon in the NHL playoffs.
0:22.6	And tonight, the NBA playoffs can see the Western Conference find its champion if Oklahoma City is able to close it out in San Antonio against the Spurs.
0:32.3	A lot of people were projecting that this was going to be a heavyweight bout, one that was going to go all seven games.
0:37.4	Well, we shall see if Wembe in the San Antonio Spurs Squad can extend this rivalry that we are about
0:45.3	to see for probably the next 10 to 15 years.
0:47.3	I am so excited to see how this Oklahoma City Thunder team, who everybody seems to hate watching.
0:52.3	Yeah.

1:32.2	to be in the middle of a dynastey run now they've obviously already won a title they got all the
1:37.3	players back and the pieces are reloaded and they are now more experience in these championship games
1:42.6	than they were a year before.
1:45.6	And now it seems like they're comfortable.
1:49.8	Hardinstein's coming into his own, just like he did last year against the Indiana Pacers,
1:52.0	when they inevitably won their first title out there.
1:56.8	Their arena is considered by Tyrese Halliburton last night on the show, a state of sports.
