Speaker 1 (00:00):
Calves Pelicans Lakers before that as part of a four
game road trip. But they do get a day off
today in Cleveland, a day off on Saturday and Sunday
in New Orleans, and then a couple of days off
in LA before that game with the Lakers next week,
which is the Emirates Cup game that that Sam is
(00:21):
so psyched out psyched up for.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
There was I was gonna step in and say, remember
that that game in LA, that's a big one.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
So we'll get the different court than the Lakers normally use.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Yeah, I think, well, I think they abandoned their NBA
Cup court unless they got it fixed and are.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Going to try to slip. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Well, you put all that varnish and stuff on the
courts and then people sweat on it. At some point
you're gonna somebody's gonna slip and fall. And that's one
thing that that players fear the most is to slip
and tear something on the way down.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I mean, it's kind of self explanatory. It makes a
lot of sense why it would be potentially dangerous.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I'm going to start this conversation on the Spurs, and
again it goes back to the selective drafting that we've done,
and it's you don't have as many first round draft
picks as the Spurs have and not at some point
realize you've got a really special team. And Wemby being
the first pick and Harper the second pick, and Fox
(01:23):
and Castle being the fourth overall pick.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
And I think so In was.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Vesel was nine and so In was ten, and Keldon
Johnson was twenty nine, and I have to go back
and see where the others that are on this run.
I think Harrison Barton's was a lottery pick at one
point too.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah, Barnes's top ten Warriors.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
So look at the players that they've gotten on this team,
and they're in a mix with the older players like
Harrison Barnes all the way to the younger players like
Carter and Bryant are Carter, Bryant, and Harper. So to me,
the job that has been done to assemble a bunch
of number one picks and slowly developed them. Were fortunate
(02:04):
that there is no inil and transfer portal in the NBA,
because that way you could develop a team. And this
is not unlike what you sometimes have seen in the
past in college basketball. When Butler made those two runs
to the final four back in twenty eleven, twelve thirteen,
whenever that was. That team was full of seniors that
had played together for a long time and never transferred
(02:24):
and never gone anywhere.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
And unfortunately, if.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Those players were together today, half the team would be
on the move. If because Butler certainly wouldn't be able
to afford to keep them all. Somebody would give a
player here, a player there, an offer to move forward
and get paid someplace else to even if it meant
fewer minutes. But what I like with this this is
that the Spurs have a young roster. There's several players
(02:48):
on this team that, for lack of a better word,
at NBA terminology, you're not paying a lot and other
than Oklahoma City, I really think that if the Spurs
can stay healthy and win, we can come back and
play the majority of the games between a couple of
weeks before Christmas in the end of the year, that
this team could get up as high as the second
(03:08):
or third seed in the standings. I don't think they're
catching Oklahoma City. I don't think anybody is. They're playing
on a different planet. But that doesn't necessarily mean that
the teams that are starting to develop like the Spurs,
like the Rockets, won't be similarly as good once we
get to the playoffs. And maybe you catch Oklahoma City
on a bad night or a bad week and you
(03:29):
can steal a game or two. Whether you can win
the series is to be determined. But this is a
This is a team. I think that they'll be very
competitive in Cleveland and in New Orleans and in LA
I doubt, very seriously if they win all four games
on a road trip. Nobody hardly ever does that, but
I don't think that. And even if they get blown
out a game, they usually come back and respond well.
(03:50):
And that just goes to show you that this team
is very young, but it's also very good, and the
young guys are starting to grow up a little bit.
This is Castle's second year, and obviously you know Wimby's third,
and then you go back down a little bit with
Carter Bryant this being his first year in the same
with Harper, So the roster makeup is really special. And
(04:12):
I think people that don't follow the Spurs outside of
San Antonio and when a national broadcast shows up, they start.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Looking at, Wow, look at all these draft picks.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
They've been able to get and the NFL, you can
build from the draft quickly. In the NBA, it takes
longer to build from the draft because those younger players
have to get accustomed to NBA basketball, and I think
they have.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Yeah, I mean you mentioned the thunder Man. They're twenty
one in one. You can't compare any team in the
league to Oklahoma City right now. I mean you're but
you also can't win a playoff series or a championship
the first week in December, correct, I mean, you would
never wish it upon any team, but you have no
idea what injury luck is ahead over the next three
(04:56):
four months before we even get to the playoffs. We've seen,
we've seen, I mean that team last night in Orlando.
They believe they have every chance of winning the East
right now because of the massives injuries, well, because the
injuries to the teams you would expect to be at
the top.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Well, Boston got it its team, and Cleveland is I
guess has a few injuries, and Detroit is playing well.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Indiana the team is completely decimated from last year.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Because Haliburton injured and Miles Turner gone, and now Jannis
potentially wanting a trade before the trade deadline even I mean,
the East is absolutely wide open. And you know, that
Orlando team that the Spurs played last night, I think
is in a similar vein of where the Spurs are.
Where you look at their roster, there's not a whole
(05:47):
lot of big name free agent signings. They made the
Desmond Bane trade hoping that he would be a bit
of a final piece to the rest of their young guys.
But you know, I just think you look at where
the Spurs are at in the standings, and you look
at the team around them, Lakers, Rockets, Nuggets, Tea, Wolves,
those are the teams I think you can really compare
(06:10):
yourself against right now, because no, you're not gonna catch
the thunder, but you have every chance to be that
two seed ahead of all of those teams around you
right now.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Before I finish up the Spurs thoughts, we'll get to
this a little bit later, Billy Napier's got a job.
He's going to James Madison because the guy at James
Madison's going to u C.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
L A.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
And so that's a great hire for James, it is.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
And he he was really good in the Sun Belt
when he was at Louisiana too, So we'll get but
we'll get back with that's news that just came down
the pike. But anyway, I think going I like the
Spurs roster and I I did you hear that Luca's
gonna miss a couple of games? Lucas going back to
the Slovenia I think because of his his child's another.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Child's being born. Yeah, I believe he is.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
He gonna miss the the all important Emirates Cup game next.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I mean, with as important and prestigious of a tournament
as that is.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I can't imagine or here and have the baby here,
Yeah I can. Slovenian healthcare is pretty good these days.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I've never been. I wouldn't know, or so I hear.
At least I hear the beaches are nice. Yeah, yeah,
I know how good it is. But it's probably free.
Well that part is probably true. Granted, what do they
have this population of Corpus CHRISTI to cover in healthcare cost?
Probably a little different.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Maybe Houston, the whole country, maybe Houston maybe.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, what's the population of Slovenia. We need to have
a trivia question on that, all right, Well, touch on
the Billy napier hiring, and we'll get into the Cowboys
discussion coming up in a little bit. For twenty seven,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
