“… we talked about the Thunders need to win that game. They have a back-to-back Thursday and Friday, Thursday against Golden State, Friday against Phoenix. To me, that Golden State game is the one that's going to very largely determine whether they're four or five. Because if they can get two wins, they can steal that Warriors game and then beat the Jazz. That gets them to 52 wins. The Rockets could win out, but they have a difficult schedule. They're probably going to drop at least one game, and the Lakers at the tiebreaker. If they can only get the Jazz game, I think that they're going to fall …” “They're not beating the Thunder on Tuesday. Obviously, we talked about the Thunders need to win that game.
