San Antonio Spurs vs OKC Thunder - Game 6 - Full Highlights - May 12, 2016 - 2016 NBA Playoffs
Friday was Enes Kanter"s 24th birthday. And the Oklahoma City Thunder center enjoyed it immensely. He chatted with The Oklahoman on Friday after practice.
Q: How much fun are these Western Conference Finals?
A: You know what? I"m having the best birthday, because the years before, I was at home, eating food and getting fat. Now I"m trying to battle for the Western Conference Finals. Definitely the best birthday. I"m definitely having fun. Not just me. Everybody"s having fun. We just have to go out there and play basketball and have some fun.
What did your teammates do for your birthday?
They just sang. I was expecting some gifts. But nobody brought me anything. That"s horrible.
Does anyone sing particularly well?
Cam (Payne) and Josh (Huestis) did. I wanted Cam to dance. He didn"t dance. He actually likes to dance.
The Thunder big men dominated Game 1, but the Warrior big men dominated Game 2? How do you reverse that?
The second game, they came out ready. They were physical. They got like 15 offensive rebounds. That"s definitely unacceptable. The third game, we just have to come out with the same mindset we had in the first game. Bring a lot of physicality. Use our size. Because we have really good bigs. Punish them down there. Just go out there and do our job.
You guys are doing a lot of switching on defense, which means when the Warriors screen, you"re suddenly guarding Steph Curry or Klay Thompson. How are you handling that?
It"s definitely different than every team we play against, because we"re switching, we"re blitzing. Chasing all those guards, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson. Different than what we did in the regular season. We"re going to adjust it and it"s going to work out really well for us. We"ve been really working on it.
