The Jenni & Berry Show: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be vital to Thunder hopes, but what Lu Dort and Co. do will decide the series.

The Thunder heads into the Western Conference semifinals after eight days of rest. Is that a good thing? If nothing else, the Thunder will be rested and ready to chase around Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. But since there’s only one Lu Dort, how will the Thunder defend the Mavericks’ two superstars? We’ll talk about all that plus give our predictions for the series on The Jenni & Berry Show (with a special guest filling in for Berry!).
