This is an IHeart podcast.

Before I start out on the OKC Thunder, let me just get a couple of things off my chest.

Number one, if you're watching on YouTube, thank you.

And you're wondering,

what's up with my lip? Uh, how do I say this in a way that doesn't make me seem like either negligent or a victim? My dog bit me in the mouth. Uh, I don't know why, really, it was

unprovoked, sort of.

She's a rescue. Made me bleed. So there's a little piece of skin on my lip that's still sort of halfway still on. I can't pull it off or it'll just start bleeding again. So if you're wondering, I've had multiple people ask me, what's going on with your lip? That's what's going on with my lip. If you're listening on the podcast, you probably didn't need this information,

but we're going to keep it where it is. So let's start out with the pod.

NBA fans this morning woke up to a crazy, crazy site.

No, not Austin Reeves going off for 35.

I'm talking about the Oklahoma City Thunder, who were down, 100 to 92, to the Suns,

with a couple of minutes left to play in OKC.

They go proceed and have an 18-2 run against Phoenix.

They walk away with a 124-120 win over a team that had given up 69 points nice in the first half it was their

seventh win in nine games that includes wins over the nets warriors and the jazz twice but but that

win was significant you look at the standings which I pretty much have to do every single day to

figure out what's going on, and the freaking OKC Thunder are now in eighth place. They are 35 and 36.

One game out of sixth place, the Oklahoma City Thunder is one game out of not being in the

play in tournament and actually being in the actual playoffs. And guess what, folks, are you

kidding me? This is stunning. I think many people thought this team was going to pack it up at the All-Star break.

Shut Shay Gilgis Alexander down.

Shut Josh Giddy down.
