Speaker 1 (00:04):
According to a couple of different sources, Michael C. Wright
being one of them, looks like that Dylan Harper is
going to make a return to the lineup for the Spurs.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
That helps.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Still a ways to go for Wimby, but getting Dylan
Harper back, I think is a good thing, and he's
certainly had a good start to the season. Steph Castle
still remains out as well. We got to get both
of those guys back. I've said this for a long time,
all year long, that I think the Spurs are a
fifty win team as long as they stay relatively healthy
(00:39):
and the five to seven core guys playing about seventy
of the games, which is about maybe around this a
little bit less than ninety percent of the games. Harper
missed ten games over about a three week period. Wimby
I think is up to about five or six. Hopefully
he can come back here soon, and the same for Kid.
(01:00):
But you're not gonna win championships or get in a
position to win championships if your best players are out.
That doesn't mean that the bench isn't good. The bench
just has a role of being the bench, and if
they were as good as the starters, they would be
the starters someplace else. So I think this is good news.
And I know that Thiago Splitter's got them playing well
(01:24):
since the temporary or potentially permanent dismissal.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Of Chauncey Billips.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
But I still think the Trailblazers don't have a very
good roster compared to the Spurs. And it's a road game,
but it's a road game that the Spurs should win,
whether they do or not. Still Tope determined. I can't
figure out why the Spurs can't beat Phoenix. They've lost
to them twice now. But they have to figure out
a way to win these games because if you get
one against Denver or Minnesota, that's gravy.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
But you got to get the easy ones as well.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I mean give credit to Phoenix for because like what
they've done really good job of is they said, we're
not gonna let Wimby or in this case even Cornett,
We're not to give you all the pain. If you
want to beat us, you gotta beat us from the
mid range or the outside shot. They are forcing your
hand in that way. That's why they were able to
get so many fouls on Wimby in the first matchup.
The Trailblazers in their in their regard, are not as
(02:13):
bad as we expected. Maybe I think right now they're
the eighth seed or nine seat in the in the West,
but I don't really think that. I'm I'm trying to
say they're not a threat because right now that if
they were to beat the Spurs, they would supplant them
in the in the NBA Cup. It's just like when
you see a team like the Spurs play well with
it with their depth, despite no Castle to Spide, no Harper,
(02:33):
despite no Wimby, it's encouraging. But the issue is that
most of that has come from home. My issue with
with them has been more like when they get on
the road for some reason, and and that's We've see
this with a lot of teams, especially upstart teams that
play starts to diminish a little bit.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, not unlike the UTSA football team.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
They played great in the Dome and then when they
go on the road as well, just we're black.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I know you don't like doing that and just just
wear black.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Well the basketball team were black last night, and one
what does that tell you?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I think we should change the school colors exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Forget the blue and orange. I'm sorry, it's a weird comboy.
It is black and white. First of all, black and
white is slimming. Anyone could pull it off. And second
of all, obviously there's some mojo there.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, it's magic, and let's just go with it. I
don't think the board of directors that UT would go
for that. See when UTEP, which used to be Texas
Wesley and Texas Western when they won the national championship
in nineteen sixty six. The year after that, they became
(03:33):
the University of Texas at al Paso because UT System
wanted UT in the name and they didn't wear orange uniforms.
But if you'll notice, every UT system school has some
shade of orange in its colors.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's not burn orange like the.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Main campus, but UT Rio Grand Valley, the Roadrunners, UT Odessi,
Permian Basin, U t Arlington. U t Arlington used to
be red, white and blue. Now they're orange, white and blue.
So every one of the UT schools has some semblance
of orange somewhere in their color scheme. Just fun fact,
(04:14):
fun trivia fact for the day.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I'm sorry, and I know, like this might be sack
of religious and all that, but blue and orange.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
To me, it's just a weird combo.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It just is. I mean, I don't mind it.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I don't be out in the school for over a
decade at this point, for decades.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
But I see. I actually like the color, the uniform combination.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
I like.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
The best is the blue jerseys with the orange pants.
Oh no, that's the worst.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I like that one the best. I mean, and I'm
color blind, so what do I know. I'm just saying
what looks good to me.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I don't mind, and they don't always do it. I
don't mind the all blue.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
The all blue is pretty cool, but I still think
so this year they're all black. They had the state
of Texas logo in the two one oh one it
last year it was a black and white road runner like.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
The well, I think they've been wearing the white helmets
with the with the play year's number on one side
and the two one oh on the other.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Yeah. I don't mind like that concept.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I just think the roadrunner, like the black and white,
looked better last year than then than the concept they
have this year.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
That's that's that was the only thing.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
So well anyway, I don't think it.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Jeff, I think I think they're gonna wear black in
November from here on out as long as they win,
and then they'll wear whatever, uh whatever combination they want
home and road.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
They need to have like blackout games like Texas, like Texas,
like rivalry games like North Texas, Texas like they need
to have black.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Games for well, whoever the Halloween game is or the
game closest to Halloween will be the ones that get
the black uniforms.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Those games they need to wear black, orange and white
just for Halloween.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Well, well, the basketball team had a little bit of
orange in the in the but that's too much Oklahoma
statesh No, I'm not a big fan of and my
high school was black and white, but right now the.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Blue and orange looks kind of auburnish if we're being fair.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
The color scheme is actually the same as Illinois. But
that's for another day, all right. We've got baseball to
get to and a couple other things to finish.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
