Welcome to Down To Dunk. I'm your Hellsanger Schlecht. We're part of the Athletic Podcast Network.

And with me today, my friends, Mikaela Mikaela was up. I moved. I'm in a new life, new house, new everything.

I'll try to be even more active on Twitter and have a room that has less echo.

That's okay. I can totally relate to podcasting in a new place. It's weird. You got to figure it out.

But we're super happy for you and your family. That's very great.

Speaking of new, speaking of weird, different, it was a year ago today

that the Thunder and Celtics played in that epic matchup where it just felt like the thunder

just were done. Toast. And then Kimba Walker, they imbound the ball to Kimba. And Kimba dribbles

the ball the wrong way and I will forever be baffled by that because there's zero reasons for

you to go that direction. You're dribbling into the corner and they steal the ball, shooter makes

the layup. Chris Paul defense Tatum, perfectly in the other end, game over Thunder win.

And it felt like, oh, like that was a big win. At that point in the season, the Celtics weren't

the Celtics of this season. They were a very, very good team. And they win that game on the road.

And they were rolling. And then they were Utah was coming into OKC that week. I think it was

that Wednesday that they came in. This was on a Sunday last year. And it just felt like the

Thunder really poised to do something. And then things just shut down. And we had no clue about

COVID. I think we even had talked about COVID on the podcast. Yeah. One, because in Italy, things

had progressed to a level that they hadn't in the US yet. And we just had no clue what we were

up against or what the league was up against or what the entire world was up against on that Sunday.

It was just kind of one of like the last like normal-ish moments that we had.

Yeah. I remember us discussing, well, the game in Boston was awesome. It was just awesome.

Like, yeah, to this team that had, I mean, the Thunder were rolling in that moment.
