Shaq & Vince Think OKC Could Come Out of the West | Inside the NBA

So you see how tight that is at the top between Minnesota and OKC um look at the loss column from five down I mean you talk about some shifting of positions that’s going to be going on and and look that five and six it’s there for the take and two to get into

The playoffs without going through the play in I said this earlier I’m going to repeat myself for those who didn’t see it if I’m the Suns I’m trying to get the four four spot home court advantage if I’m Dallas I want the suns in the first

Round uh Kenny is is really high on the Pelicans I don’t know about them yet uh Kings I don’t know what’s going on with them but you’re right it’s very Shifty at the bottom but I’m focusing on what the suns are doing and what the Mavericks are doing so again Suns need

To try to move up to four and Dallas the way Luca plays against his Suns I want them in the first round Vince what do you think when you when you look at how the Western Conference shakes out who would you say right now is coming out of the

West it’s I mean I feel like it it changes week to week I know the Clippers were the hot new car the team to talk about um I I still think OKC is a scary scary team and maybe they just don’t know any better and they’re playing and

I it’s like how they all fall in line Shaq said it earlier they know who the they know who their guy is they’re active they’re young they’re athletic they they they just play hard together and I think they they’re OKC is a team to watch and can can really come out of

The West well if you’re looking at it that’s disrespecting Denver of course I know well yeah I mean just you’re looking at it from a championship perspective like who has the all of the the assets that you need one you need you need a a great player you you look

At the Clippers you have a lot you have Clippers OKC obviously Denver you have coaching you know starts narrowing the Gap then you have EXP experience when when you when you go to experience that card it only leaves two teams right Oklahoma I mean uh the Clippers no

Clippers don’t have no experience don’t yes they Doland has been to the NBA finals in one Tyrone Lou has been to the NBA finals in one you you have experienced thepp as a team Paul George has been to the Eastern Conference Finals and the Western Conference like these guys have experience James Harden

Has been to the Western Conference Finals they are not what’s the experience if you don’t win Kenny no experience being there these guys have never been to that Plateau yeah but that’s the separator they can the way they play they can I’m not saying that Minnesota Phoenix Phoenix the only thing

Is to answer your question Ernie I’m to come out of West I’m going to give Denver Denver the respect because they a chance Denver but I but you not and no one’s looking at Minnesota who’s the number one SE I like OKC okay and nobody’s looking at New

Orleans and they’re one of the few teams in the league top 10 in offense and defense they’re number I think we look at them like Sacramento last year we just we just have to wait and see got to wait and see reason why I don’t pick Minnesota cuz I

Don’t know if you could play both bigs at the same time it’s worked so far and the best record in the west yep 39 and 16 yep that’s him Chuck I’m not sure how this guy got swinging by

Shaq, Kenny, and Vince Carter debate if the Oklahoma City Thunder are legit contenders in the Western Conference on Inside the NBA.
