Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
A West Coast sweet hoping for a different outcome than
the past West Coast trip. Starting in Phoenix again, it's
like deja vu all over again. But have the Phoenix
Suns tonight, which, surprise, surprise, the Phoenix Suns are hanging
in there without Durant, without you know everything.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Everybody thought Phoenix was done.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
You know, you had Devin Booker signed that one hundred
and forty nine million dollar contract extension, and man, then
they swept the rug out from underneath.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Hey they're ten and six.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
They've been a sixty today.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, they're they're hot, you know in.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
San Antonio of course, eleven and four, uh and eleven
and four and not being one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah, no Wemby, no Harper, no Castle.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
Not being one hundred percent all season. The depth that
showed up, it has Kelly Olennok and Luke Cornett. We
knew we're gonna make just because you needed guys behind
Wemby that you could likely play center.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
But we need to talk a couple of things.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
One David jo of course.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Ye I mean, I mean he's I love him regardless.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
I was gonna say this, like we need to have
the early Hawks for Coach of the Year from Mitch
Johnson already. And we also need to have the early
talks for Keldon Johnson as six Man of the Year.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Oh gee.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
The Spurs social media the other day they put out then,
which was like November of twenty three, and Kelden is
saying we lose a lot and then he pops out
saying we're gonna start winning.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
I know a lot of people love so him because
of the AX. I love killed him because he's the
energy guy.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Bro, we'll be down twenty killed in to throw a
tomahawk and just don't give a damn love it no,
And that's what you need, Like you need that, and
you're right. What has carried the Spurs to the eleven
wins is the depth. When the depth's on, watch out.
Look what they did to Atlanta, you know. And I
was sitting there honestly with Atlanta. I was like, man,
Atlanta's hot, you know. I mean, they're doing good without

(01:46):
Trey Young, you know. And Christoph Porzingiz was in there
the other night. But again, now these teams right now
they have to go, hey, what does San Antonio have
besides Wimby, you know, and the hard that's the hard
part for these guys.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
We learned Sacramento learned that last Sunday, you know.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
And then of course you just have these games where
it's like you're winning, you're winning, you won the.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
Final three of your five game Homestand what do you
think has been a bigger asset to this team? I
would say, just just this year. Okay, So I'm gonna
give you three things that have changed dramatically right last year. Okay,
not counting new additions, okay, but just like, just like
the setup.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Is it the depth at center? Is it a healthy
Daron Fox?

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Or is it the three point shooting off the bench
guys like Champagne and Champagne.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I think it's the bench, you know.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
I like the center depth that we have because again
I breathed simple And by the way, people stop this
rumor crap about winby being out this season. So many
people have message me, Shane, it's ridiculously I heard it
from you. No you didn't, No, you didn't check your facts.
Click on the article, don't just like look at it. Yeah,
Steven A Smith source again. I'll get to that later

(02:58):
at the Oh wait, we got some for that for
the final sets.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Wait, I mean I think it's you know, hands down.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
If I were to give the six man award right now,
I'd give it to Julian Champagne because I love saying
this Overkell. Yeah you're popping champagnees in San Antonio.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, like popping Champagne.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
And he has he has been and then his three
pointers have been great. And then also it hands down
to Harrison Barnes. Okay, is surpassing the fourteen thousand point mark.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Maybe your most reliable player other than Womy.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
And cast solid as Sean Elliott would tell you, he's
mister one hundred.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
No, he is.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
He is, this team's Bruce Bowen. He is, and he's
he's amazing.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
And to have the roster we have right now at
eleven and four, San Antonio Spurs are playoff bound right
now in my opinion, one hour down, one hour to go,
and we get you ready for some.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Sunday hell the fanatics on ticket. It was actually
